- eink or lcd display, for always-on and long battery life.
- brightness adjustable LED, for night usage of the watch and as flashlight at night.
- physical buttons, for controls including music volume, skip to next or previous song.
- bluetooth calls and notifications.
- nfc payments.
- functionality allowing to COMPLETELY DISABLE all those fitness functions, such as step counting or heart rate measuring. FU Garmin, I hate you.
- app for plotting tides and moon phases.
- app for voice memos, then transfer to Android/iOS for converting voice-to-text and further editing.
- if the display is touch-enabled, make sure to make it LOCKABLE, otherwise it does self-activates in the shower if the message is received. FU Amazfit, I hate u2.
- solar panel on the sides or even maybe behind eink/lcd display.
At the moment I am using Tissot T-Touch Solar Connect: No nfc payments, no bluetooth calling, no flashlight at night, no tides/moons, no music control But, I never need to charge it!!!!! And I dont need to use my second hand to press the led button to check the time at night, because its a hybrid watch with luminescent arrows.
Why can't the decentralized social media be made? What are the technical obstacles for this? Why cant it run in your browser, users could store their content on their own devices and share it P2P. Noone knows whats being shared, no problems with censorships, regulations, laws...
Primal.net and yakihonne.com speak nostr protocol and are both pretty slick implementations.
Primal recently launched “build your own algorithm” along with a feed marketplace.
P2P doesn’t work for social, see SecureScuttleButt. Rabble has moved pretty firmly into the Nostr camp. He’s one of the top minds thinking about decentralized social media. Study nostr and don’t dismiss the relay model lightly.
It's just ease of use. I tried to make a mastodon account early into the xitter takeover. I spent probably half an hour trying to make a account before I decided if it was gonna take me this long that there was no way it would ever catch on anyway so I should just give up.
Even if it was technically doable and user-friendly, you'd end up with a toxic cesspool filled to the brim with neonazis and CSAM, which only deranged individuals would want to engage with.
It requires cooperating with domestic Chinese censorship and providing personal details/actions of users by default to the Chinese government to an extent that Western companies generally aren't okay with.
However, this is all a deflection, because blocking a company from operating as a business within China is not the same thing as banning them by blocking all access to their foreign websites/apps.
If China didn't want Wikipedia operating fully within China as a nonprofit, but you could still access foreign countries'/languages' Wikipedias, I wouldn't necessarily describe Wikipedia as "banned in China". I'd maybe describe it as a partial ban at most.
Note that the DJIA also changes constantly over time (as discussed elsewhere in this thread), as do the weights assigned to the individual companies constituting it.
The way that the DJIA changes isn't the same as an index of, say, the n most highly capitalised equities might (Fortune 5, 10, 20, S&P 500, etc.).
Index funds follow indices and to follow an index asset manager holds a weighted basket of respective stocks. If stock is excluded from the index, asset manager sell it off and that puts downward pressure on the stock price. Reverse happens if stock is included into the index.
That’s what common sense makes you think, reality is big money needs someone to sell into their NVDA stock and this is how they do it.
Just look at what happens to the stocks every time they get added or removed from the index, the complete opposite of common sense.
Liquidity is held by funds. Funds (some of them pensions) have rules where to allocate. They just follow these rules and allocate. Now this change will change the allocation to Nvidia. Investors can tap into this liquidity. The $$$ are then transferred from the funds (some of them are pensions, uh I mentioned that) to the investors.
AI bubble then burst. Funds are “adjusted” and someone is not getting his pension.
