Well, I think those are localized issues.

For instance, in Brazil its way easier today to buy a car than it was in the past.

But houses are diff, the place I grew up in saw a 50x price increase. It is hard to buy houses there.

To the point where renting is a better investment than buying (not a absolute, obviously), and makes you think that people overvalue property there, the interest rates are insane.

But most statistics are going downward trend, crime for instance, its going down in all developed countries.
Often I prefer "self-serve," but sometimes I like to talk to a human who knows about the system that has created my problem, and can quickly fix it. That's why there are websites dedicated to showing people how to skip through phone menus and reach actual humans, even if those humans are soundboard operators paid almost nothing to make you go away.
On the topic of cheap oscilloscopes, I was looking for a cheap logic analyzer when I found the Saleae Logic. Not an oscilloscope, but if you put an input into analog mode you can visualize the waveform nicely. They have a discount for non-commercial use and startups.

I sort of learnt it from books I got in the bookstore and school library. I will not name them, because they're not in English.

At the same time I spent 8 years learning it day in day out in high school and university, so it's hard to tell how far you'll get with just self-learning.

It also depends on what you want to do with the knowledge. Perhaps just go book browsing to a library that has a good set of books about electronics, to find what you mind be the most interested in. Libraries associated with electotechnical schools typically have plenty of these books.
I think that's the point as well.

By designing for accessibility, you prioritize for both people with handicaps as well as machines. Think of machines as really really fast visual handicap readers.

And avoiding lawsuits is just a big plus as well.
Indeed, Nordic cooperation, both in business and in civil service, switches to English when the Danes get involved even though some cooperation between Swedish and Finnish entities may be conducted in Swedish. People from Finland, especially ones whose native language is Finnish, have even more trouble understanding Danish pronunciation than Swedes or Norwegians do.

Switching to English doesn't require people from different countries, though. While in Helsinki Finnish-native and Swedish-native speakers typically speak Finnish with each other, there are parts of Finland where Swedish-speakers might not be fluent in Finnish and the most efficient mutual language with Finnish-speakers (who often aren't fluent in Swedish) is English.
As someone who had a very wanted (married, secure in our careers) pregnancy end up being “extrauterine” (tubal, if you must know) and therefore requiring emergency medical intervention to not kill me, I think you may want to reconsider that as a better or more economical outcome.
Sorry to nitpick but his name is Georg Kreisler ;)
But apart from that I very much agree.
Largely because FB is mining your data today and has built a half-trillion dollar business doing it. For ISPs it's mostly theoretical and attempts here and there. (That's why this article uses the phrase "pose a greater surveillance risk").
Here's a report from Google with some stats about what was requested and what was removed:

It comes back to this: What are you doing with your page?

If you are building a content delivery vehicle, this all makes sense.

If you are building an interactive application, the html paradigm is terrible and we took it as far as we could. We really need to get away from HTML but that's going to require leadership.

I recently went back and wrote an application with JavaFX. It's quite a bit easier than dealing with the fiddly bits of HTML, CSS, and JS.

Web applications are terrible because we build on terrible abstractions for the purpose of applications, JS being the least worst of them. That's why we end up as an inverted pyramid.
Thanks for noticing. Even when I vote to close a question, I try to leave something helpful behind.
What makes a faster typist?
They do allow it, but that's precisely what people are complaining is unfair. They are literally too big to follow the same rules as the small traders.
Count me in, too! This goes right along with a lot of stuff I'm working on teaching myself right now.
> Would you attribute the recent Toys R Us bankruptcy to individual owners?

I wouldn't attribute it to the owners of individual stores, but the CEO? Absolutely

> Or if your favorite startup goes under and has to declare bankruptcy to shield itself from creditors before the company dissolves would you start attributing bankruptcy to individual employees with equity/stock options?

Trump wasn't an individual employee with stock options.
Sure thing, Dang. FWIW, I'd have said the exact same if it had been "even botanists" or "even car mechanics". It just seemed massively orthogonal.
I have never heard this term. Could you explain a bit what you're talking about?
Imagine that our sun suddenly collapsed into a 1-solar-mass black hole. What would happen to the orbits of the planets? Nothing. The black hole would still exert the same gravitational pull as the sun did. The same is true if you replace all the planets with equivalent-mass black holes.

Denser objects in an atmosphere or other fluid, where there is friction and buoyancy, will tend to sink to the bottom. However, if you're in the vacuum of space, there is no concept of "sinking". There is nothing to sink in unless you enter the atmosphere of a planet or star.

However, maybe there is enough interstellar dust near the center of the galaxy to produce a non-negligible amount of friction over millions or billions of years.
You bring up a good point but I think the difference is the severity of the piece of information in question. Pedophilia and bankruptcies are already considered special bits of data that have their own dedicated information registries that maintain this information.

Up until this point in history it hasn't been feasible to do the same thing for every minute detail of every person's lives. This lack of feasibility is probably why the debate regarding this subject is unfortunately so far behind reality.
How DIY are you trying to build? Basically you just need a set of electrodes, an amplifier, and a data acquisition board. Getting good data is a black art, though that's true with many different things beyond EMG.
Again, they mostly do. Same with human drivers.

By the same logic, should nobody drive?
Would you care to share the name or a link to your paper?
Without encryption, they can see who you talk to, what you are saying, the rate, the frequency, from where and when.

With encryption (https), they can see who you talk to, the rate, the frequency, from where and when. They can't see the actual URL (just the hostname) or data (encrypted).

With VPN, they see you are talking to a VPN, the rate, the frequency, from where and when. VPNs cut down on knowing who you are talking to (assuming they aren't logging or being monitored which they could easily do).

Other services could be added to obfuscate rate, frequency and when I would assume, but even then those services would only be additive obfuscation (unless you cache packets for a short term... just thinking as I type).

Someone check me if i'm off on this these points...

How Intel Put Together Hades Canyon, Its Best NUC Yet
I moved from the US to Canada. Banks wanted to hold my transferred money for a month even though they got the cash within 3 days.

with cryptocoins I wouldn't have had to move the money at all.
they're both wretched to use, does degree really matter?
Oh god. Imagine the last thing you see before dying is your candy crush score propelled at your face at 200 mph.
I believe the sound you identify as a weak `i` is the IPA sound /j/.

This is not an unreasonably connection to make. /j/ is the semivowel corresponding to /i/. Essentially, /j/ is what happens if you produce /i/ with just enough constriction that it no longer is classified as a vowel.

It is not apriori unreasonable to consider semivowels as vowels. However, linguistics has (mostly) reached the conclusion that semivowels are best characterized as consonants.
Like a product manager? You think it's reasonable to understand all the nuances and capabilities of an obtuse CLI tool that manages concurrent history? What you probably mean is the simplified concepts of Git without the capabilities to alter the interaction effects. You come off as the typical condescending developer who secretly looks down on people with different interests and responsibilities because they don't understand YOUR JOB.
The cars will for survival should outweigh the lane marker following algorithm. Maintaining distance and trajectory relative to things with mass is more important than coloring within in the lines.
The exception makes the rule; D is the one vitamin I'm aware of whose primary source was never food. Thus, it would not be shocking if food sources were a challenge.

An interesting question though- how many IU do you take? What's your absorption rate, and what's the absorption rate from e.g. salmon? I recall hearing, frequently 10% or less of the D in supplement form is actually absorbed.
This has been mentioned a lot of times lately (the auto-braking). When you think about it, you realize there are a million moments during normal driving where you have an obstacle ahead. Other cars, lane dividers like these that you might _have_ to pass by closely, or at least will have your car pointed at it for a few seconds, making tight curves on a walled road, high curbs, buildings that are on the edge of the road, etc. It's not that simple, and I bet a lot of this is already taken into account by the software.
Which makes me think - if the area is relatively dense with black holes, quite often (on galactic time scale) there must be super close encounters with stars, sometimes BH swinging right through a sun (that might be a bit of a stretch)! Imagine that spectacle, devouring whole sun throwing off/swallowing it potential planets. I am sure we would be able to see it as huge burst with our current sensors.

Plus there might be huge amount of smaller and tiny BH wreaking all kinds of havoc to everything. Pretty wild place to be
Why should people have the right to have things they don't like wiped from the historical record?

Your criminal record is expunged after a time. This is about whether Google is above the law of the land.
Good point. My only thought was—maybe they pivoted? The law doesn't really back up right-to-be-forgotten in the US. Cyber-bullying is a significant problem where I live, so I can believe there's a business opportunity (shudder at the phrasing) there.
The highest resolution GPS receivers have two changes:

1. Base stations at known locations broadcast corrections for factors like the effects of the ionosphere and troposphere, and inaccurate satellite ephemerides. If you have multiple base stations, you can interpolate between them (Trimble VRS Now [1] does this, for example)

2. Precise measurements by combining code phase (~300m wavelength) and carrier phase on two frequencies (~20cm wavelength), plus the beat frequency of the two frequencies (~80cm)

With these combined, and good visibility of the sky, centimetre-level accuracy is possible.

Autonomous vehicles will often combine this with inertial measurement [2] which offers a faster data rate, and works in tunnels.

Many people also expect autonomous vehicles to also track lane markings, in combination with a detailed map to say whether lane markings are accurate.

The trouble with this kind of theory is that for a force like gravity, if you consider the force outside a sphere surrounding the sun, the force is identical no matter how the mass inside is distributed, whether it's the sun or a solar mass black hole inside the sphere.

Seeing as how people already record sketchy conversations by screenshotting them this will only impress the naive.

Screenshots aren't absolutely perfect as evidence, but since error level analysis can show up many kinds of graphic manipulation, they're pretty good on a practical level.
Nice test!

Perhaps nice to add comparison to network storage/boot?
I'm up to the chapter in part 1 on Classes and it has been a great experience for reminding me how compilers work. Personally I recommend intentionally doing it in a language other than Java just to force the extra step of transliterating in your head, at least for me it has made the learning process much stronger.
Muscular System
I'm interested in the implementation of this, but do not have the technical background to begin. Would you have any go to resources for a beginner?
Requiring sewers is hardly "planning". You can't really plan growth. Planning is political, and local politics is all about protectionism. Austin's growth politics is a bunch of NIMBYism ("keep the neighborhoods as they are!") combined with / resulting in terrible traffic planning because it's not possible to improve the main thoroughfares when they're all going through neighborhoods that must be left as they are.

Austin's zoning/planning is all about protecting neighborhoods property values (in a place where they only go up anyways!). It's a mess.
What would an alternative to google look like, even? You still need a search engine for archive.org, for example.

>it will protect someone who made a stupid mistake when they were younger having it haunt them for the rest of their careers or lives because it would otherwise have been the top hit when you google'd their name.

I don't agree that this will protect anyone, or that they need to be protected in the first place. This is just hiding the problem that someone would judge you for whatever the content is.

In my opinion the real solution here is to be more understanding to stupid things people have done in the past. Nobody is perfect, so why are you letting whatever that story on Google is affect your judgement of the person, assuming they learned from whatever it was.
I did this for a while, and it was a decent headache to maintain. I had pfSense running at the Comcast edge and configured it to route all but specifically whitelisted traffic through a VPN I controlled. Speed was slower than max but acceptable due to choosing a VPS provider close to me, but the maintenance on the whitelist was cumbersome.
So you're seriously suggesting that someone should have to go to their local library and wade through years of back issues to see if their child's friend's parents have committed a crime? And also travel to whatever other places they've lived to do the same? All because blah blah right to be forgotten, so google etc. isn't allowed to index the relevant articles? That's absurd.
Reputation is the foundation of trust. If you can’t use the presence of absence of deragatory records as a signal, you need to be much more conservative in your dealings with people and create upfront constraints, since retroactive accountability isn’t an option.
hey.... seems like this 404s now - do you have an updated link?
1) for Analog: build yourself an audio amplifier, starting from simple circuits in The Art of Electronics and building up to more complex amps. Having an oscilloscope is necessary

2) For digital: arduino projects to start with microcontrollers. After that, try an AVR dev kit if you want to go low level assembly/etc. or just move to RPi if you want to stay at a higher level
Who draws the diagrams for the book? They made the book a fun read for me. Are they hand drawn?
Actually, that looks like retained mode.

Immediate mode simply means you specify what to redraw on every frame, there is no caching unless you specify it. And you basically redraw whenever some state changes (in a game this is going to be at frame rate).

In React, when some state changes, you respecify the DOM for components whose state has changed, but asynchronously the library determines how to make the DOM update more efficient on the next frame redraw.

That was my first thought too. Time to look into Mastodon again I guess.
At least seek to be smart about it, and perhaps supplement with low values- 10% of DV instead of 10,000%.

Toxic iron dosage can be as low as 2x the therapeutic dose, and men are especially at risk (most of us on this thread are probably men). Long term studies have also repeatedly found negative expected outcomes from supplementing various vitamins/minerals in large quantities (Calcium, C, E, & A come to mind)
You may want to take a look at https://getmesh.io/ - A fully open source headless CMS. It has a GraphQL and REST API so integration with React should be fairly straight forward.

In the name of the Internet, MOVEMENT. Vowel MOVEMENT.

Yet nothing those in power do will ever change the monetary base or inflation rate of Bitcoin.
According to what gressquel posted, they were doing a background check for a particular reason. If you meant "if you want to know stuff like that you'll have to do a background check that costs money," then the "no particular reason" threshold for running a check depends strongly on the checker's financial resources.

Whatever balance between right to privacy and right to knowledge is struck, it should have uniform effects. The law shouldn't make it harder for a potential tenant to check the background of an apartment complex owner than for the owner to check the background of a potential tenant, even though in most cases the owner will have more money.
I can't read your comment without hearing faint echoes of extremist clerics telling me how the world today is "saturated with porn", which in turn is responsible for "widespread sexual immorality" and "gender confusion" in your comments.
I just received a similar mailer from Time Warner, and we use Sling. However, I think they are just trying to capture a market segment that they entirely missed the boat on, and that it is coincidental. I guess I could ask my neighbors if they received the same mailer.
Data breaches are definitely not ideal. If there were legislations where penalties, enforcement, and audits added a large cost of the underlying goods I purchase, however, I’m not sure I would like that either. There’s an inherent risk in online businesses, no matter what policies are in place. I would say that whatever progress is made shouldn’t impede new businesses to come in and challenge incumbents or make the overall cost a barrier for less affluent users.

From a legal and censorship standpoint, I absolutely want entities like Google search to be defined as journalists.

Just because something falls under a legal classification, it doesn't mean we'd start calling Google search a journalist in colloquial usage.
China grew tremendously by using domestic controls to suppress wages WRT the foreign markets with which it was competing.

What makes anyone think the approach will be any different, in transitioning the current structural changes? Big pressures, but they've also had a couple of decades to greatly increase the tools they have with which to control and navigate this.

Plus, the "leader of democracy" -- the U.S. -- has a leadership that is demonstrating its moral bankruptcy with respect to practicing what it preaches.

Spirit A319 at Boston Jul 17th 2015, fumes on board, captain died 50 days later
On Jul 17th 2015, a Spirit Airlines Airbus A319 from Chicago O'Hare began a descent into Boston, MA when fumes incapacitated
the flight crew. The first officer was able to don an oxygen mask and place one on the captain, who had slumped in his seat.
They managed to land the aircraft but could not recall later how they had managed the feat. Fifty days later, the captain
was dead. Now, airline industry observer Simon Hradecky at The Aviation Herald has pieced together compelling evidence that
toxic fume events involving Tricresyl phosphate (a neurotoxic oil additive that combats metal wear in bearings and gears of
turbofan engines) in internal cabin breathing air are taking a heavy health toll on passengers and especially on flight crew
and attendants. His research leads him to conclude that not only are almost all airliners susceptible to these "bleed air"
fume incidents, but that authorities seem to be covering up the problem, with only 6 events being reported in a year despite
almost 2,000 having actually occurred.

On the other hand, if deficient in anything, the generic multi-vitamin is likely much less expensive than a targeted vitamin.
That's not really a solution though.
Research around. Many of the same processors will work with you even at low volume, although the rate wouldn't be as good. Of course, with little or no volume, the rate doesn't matter as much.
for anyone interested I pulled up the Terms and found what I believe the OP is referencing:

Of course they lobby, and for self-serving purposes. And that could use reform. But it's not related to the FB/CA story. They use our data to participate in the ad-tech ecosystem but that's separate from lobbying, which doesn't benefit from having my likes or social graph in any way I'm aware of.
What’s naive is to even believe a screenshot. They can easily be faked. In fact I think there’s entire apps just for this purpose. You would never know the difference. You can also just straight up edit HTML and screenshot that.

Screenshots as evidence, how laughable.
