Apple Computers were already taken to court before they entered the music business but settled and part of that settlement was not to enter the music "biz".

Obviously they did later enter the music business, which is when Apple Corp (the record label) litigated for a second time.
in most cases, the only reason your clothes get smelly is if you get smelly, so cleaning yourself more often might help. you dont have to shower every day, but cleaning the key areas does help and can easily be done just using the sink and warm water.

even socks will last a lot longer if you just quickly wash your feet every morning or twice a day if you have the time

I feel like the solution to these problems might be to use something like rapid 3D printing technology to create and recycle the dishes or clothing.

The dish machine would print using a biodegradable material that could either be recycled back into the machine for reprinting or composted if it is unable to be cleaned.

For clothing I imagine a knitting machine that prints 3D garments on demand using fibers and can also recycle the clothing to reuse the fibers at the end of the wear cycle.

Edit: my main point being that I don't see these being technically solvable using the legacy methods we have created thus far. Why try to make a machine complex enough to identify and fold specific clothing? Why not create a machine that can create something very basic and we adjust our expectations and style.
When I was a young robotics engineer, I designed a house with a hidden ceiling that hid the mechanical parts for such a robot. There were 4'x4' panels with releases and actuators to open up a hole for the arm to descend through. A 28'x28' space would only need 10 actuators (edge panels can't open). But alas 30 years later I've still not built it.
Any suggestions for ones that cover the Peninsula? I'd love something smaller than PODs where I could have a lockable box delivered, load it or unload it, and have it taken back, all at the push of the button.

When autonomous cars fully arrive, I'll bet something like this takes off, particularly in areas with small homes like the Bay Area.

How is this conceptually different than a course that focuses on standardized tests like the SAT? Having worked for only almost 2 years after college graduation, I can still see that there are many more technical and non-technical skills that affect one's and his/her colleagues' performance on the job. Being nice and helpful is one. Constantly learning from mistakes and rapidly iterating while adding value to the team/company is another. More examples: Picking up technical books, writing toy projects to learn new languages/frameworks/libraries and being able to come up with good engineering decisions. The list goes on.

Not to be too salty about this, but I remember friends from college who are terrible teammates (no significant contributions to group projects, barely understanding the project material, but knowingly do so cause others will finish it for them etc.) but go on to get job offers from the Big Four. Having these technical whiteboard interviews will not filter for such soft skills that are needed to succeed in the workplace.
That's fucking terrifying. I am really sorry to hear that...I'm sure it has frustrated you to no end that something so minor, prescribed by a doctor no less, has caused such a long-lasting impact.

How is the human coin different from existing currency? They are both store of value so a person can still exchange for goods and services when he or she doesn’t have things that the other party wants? I don’t see how the human coin can be more efficient and easier to use than standard currency, especially for local transactions.
There are plugins for Wordpress which export sites as static sites. I personally used SimplyStatic [1] with success for a rather simple blog, but it seems development has ceased.
While writing this comment I also found WP Static [2], perhaps one of those two works for you.

I would consider the Unifi gear, but I have issues with the form factor: how do you put that round thing on the top shelf of a bookcase or whatever?

The in-wall ones might work better for me though -- although I think it's silly to have to terminate an in-wall cable to a plug to plug into the back.

I've had a similarly bad experience. I bought the original Chromecast years ago. Since then I've tried using it with two Wi-fi routers, at least three Android phones and an iPad and it never worked for me. The most common problem is that after a while the phone would fall out of sync with the Chromecast. For instance, video would keep playing in the Chromecast, but was paused in the YouTube app on the phone.
The bar gets lower and lower these days...
legal doesn't know what it doesn't know

implementing controls to prevent or detect this kind of copypasta is very hard.. even more so at larger "serious" companies that have dozens of development teams spread across the world working on an enormous catalog of products

this happens far more than people want to admit.. there's a very slippery slope when it comes to searching for help online.. it's amazing how quickly a google search leads to a stackoverflow post that has sample/example code which then winds up in your company's codebase.. even at "serious" places

writing a clear external code usage policy that's covered in those yearly training programs that developers hate and blow through as fast as possible is about as good you're going to get stopping this kind of thing
It is already here. Two days ago our HVAC controller apparently lost contact with one of the sensors (as technician told me) and we nearly froze at night (-10 C outside) only to came back later to a desert (+35 C in most rooms).

I just yanked the thing out and adjusted all valves by hand. Fixing was $200. Now i'm thinking about replacing it with Arduino and simple PID controllers...

Thinking more about this, the vulnerability would be in any load issued speculatively which whose address depends on the result of a previous load. This can be detected at compile time and avoiding just this scenario it will not have such a performance effect as avoiding any speculative load.
BC implemented a 15% tax on home purchases by foreign buyers, and Vancouver's got a fairly aggressive empty home tax, both to target the speculation issue. neither has really caused a drop in home prices.

It's not like the government is doing nothing. They've already tried other avenues, now it's time to try targeting short-term rentals.

I believe the following security advisory applies to anyone interested in starting to use GPG + Yubikey:

Seems the recommendation is to ensure you generate GPG private keys off the YubiKey (if you have an affected device).
> To exploit this, all an attacker needs to do is reboot or power up the target machine and press CTRL-P during bootup. The attacker then may log into Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx) using the default password, “admin,” as this default is most likely unchanged on most corporate laptops.

>new buildings are regulated through zoning and permits.

yes, and AirBnB has built a business off ignoring those pesky laws.
Indeed, the friendliest way to position/orient a display is as far away as you can comfortably put it to see all the small details you need to see (the further it is, the less the muscles in your eyes have to work to converge/focus), with the top of the display at or slightly below eye level (eyes are designed for looking downward for close work, and both converge and focus closer comfortably when looking at the lower part of the field of view), and the display tilted back a bit (15°?) at the top. Many “ergonomics guides” (and anecdotally from walking around various tech company offices, the vast majority of programmer workstations, in practice) get this one very wrong, recommending a display with eye level somewhere around the middle of the display, and the display oriented perpendicular to the table. Try to glance around the room at further objects relatively frequently, and occasionally stand up to walk around and take a break from close work.

Make sure to also sit up straight, not hunched or slouched, with the keyboard near the torso (the close side maybe half a foot from the belly), and upper arms hanging loosely at the sides. The palms/forearms should be free floating, not resting on any surface. At all costs keep the wrists as straight as possible. Typing should be light and springy.

Adjust the tilt of the keyboard so that its surface is approximately parallel with the forearms. A split keyboard which is tented even a little bit upward toward the middle and turned a bit so that the far side points inward relieves quite a bit of strain by reducing wrist pronation, but is not strictly necessary.

Unfortunately there hasn’t really been very much large-scale, carefully scoped and controlled, properly conducted/analyzed, anatomically motivated study of keyboard ergonomics. That is, there have been a large number of research studies but almost all of them were garbage for one reason or another. As a result many of the most important conclusions about proper typing style can best be discovered by reading directly about anatomy, investigating proper technique for other tools, and doing careful personal experimentation/analysis. Reading keyboard-specific ergonomics literature does not necessarily lead to healthy recommendations or physical keyboard designs.

We could always just move the goalposts a bit. I don't need my clothes folded, I'd be over the moon with a robot that can wash and dry my clothes, then spread them loosely and haphazardly over a "clothes shelf" or something, just spread out enough that I can pick what I need out of the pile without rummaging.
People measure what’s easy to measure, not what’s valuable.
The logic is usually that decentralized system allow greater innovation, faster development, third-party integration. By taking no centralized control, allowing everyone be partly owner of the network, they will have much greater network effect than the centralized counterparts. The analogy is usually the free internet vs proprietary CompuServe, AOL, Prodigy systems.
Made an account just to comment on this.

I support you guys’ decision to getting screened for the spectrum. In the meanwhile, do check out the Wikipedia page for Misophonia.

I have a form of it, where I can’t eat around people because the “chewing sound” they make is absolutely rage inducing. Similarly, one of my friends has a form of it where the sound of someone cracking their knuckles enrages her just as similarly, and she will start bawling, not crying, bawling for a good while. Neighter of us have a reason (or memory thereof) to associate these sounds as triggers.

So, while I’m not a medical anything, I do suggest checking out that page, at least to quench your curiosity. For some added context, I do suffer from other auditory ailments, as well as ADHD. A link between misophonia and different mental sicknesses is suspected, however there is almost no research on this subject, leave alone one that’s looking for links. YMMV.

Usually if someone has physical access you've already lost.
ChromeOS does not use an on-disk swap partition. Your SSD died just because cheap SSDs like those typically found in Chromebooks die early. :(

ChromeOS uses zram instead of physical swap, which works quite well, even on 2GB models. Zram is available in any Linux distro, being built into the kernel, and is also the default configuration in GalliumOS (Ubuntu+Xfce for Chromebooks, most of which are less broadly compatible than your PEPPY).
This is confusing. Does the exploit really entirely hinge on administrators not changing the default password? How the hell is that an exploit? Is F-Secure just trying to ride the hate-Intel Meltdown bandwagon?
"not sure why I feel the need to respond to posts like these, but this pattern, where a poster expresses haughty distain that others dare downvote them, then posts "evidence" that likely misses the point of the downvotes in the first place, is annoying."

I didn't post "evidence" (scare quotes yours). The quote is right there, in the article. It's something that's actually happening, and I quoted it because of the irony.

Likewise, I lived in SF during the last crash. I saw the holes in the ground, with my own eyes -- developers pulled construction equipment out of foundations, and left them there, at mid-Market, in downtown San Francisco. I lived near two of them.

Nothing I'm saying here is even remotely theoretical. The real issue is that there's a certain popular narrative here, and any facts that disagree with that narrative are immediately ejected from the conversation. It isn't "haughty disdain" to observe that people are rejecting facts that don't fit their biases.

No idea, but googling "valet storage" should get you some hits.

Some time ago, in a different country, I used a storage service where they unloaded the box -- a big unit about 2m tall and deep, with enough space for a couch, several chairs, etc. -- on the street and then picked it up again when you wanted, all scheduled via their web app. Very nice system.

As maddening as it is, it does make sense when the priority becomes for one 'side' to win. I find it difficult to imagine how this could change without significant reform.

1. My Chromecast is far less reliable than it was a mere 3-4 months ago. I regularly am unable to cast from my desktop and have to resort to my phone. YouTube, especially with multiple tabs, on desktop is a nightmare to use with the Chromecast.

2. I'm basically desperate to find something to take it's place. I'm tired of the Apple-ification of Google, and I resent having to boot up Chrome just to be able to cast a video (they have it locked down to where they effectively control both sides of the infra, such that Firefox can't implement Chromecast support).
And any PoS/dPoS-coin with blockchain sharding. Like Ethereum, Cardano, EOS, Steem, BitShares, etc.
