Of the difficulties the pod solution poses, I don't think that neutral buoyancy us one of them, so long as the pod is rigid (e.g. steel) in construction.

The best succinct definition for neutral buoyancy I could find was this one, from Wikipedia:

> ...a condition in which a physical body's average density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed.[0]

This means that once the pod has been weighted to be neutrally buoyant it will be so at any depth of water, since neither it or water are compressible[1] and thus their average densities are unchanged by depth.

The challenges of maintaining neutral buoyancy arise when you submerge a compressible object, such as a scuba diver wearing an inflatable buoyancy control device (BCD). The water pressure (caused by the weight of the water above) will squeeze them and their equipment, compressing anything that is air filled.

To sink from the surface, the diver has to deflate their BCD, and then put sufficient air in it to achieve neutral buoyancy at their desired depth. If they swim downwards, the higher water pressure will squeeze them some more, the air in their BCD will compress some more, and their average density will increase. They will now be negatively buoyant and will sink.

The deeper they sink, the higher the water pressure will be, the more the air in their BCD will compress and the more negatively buoyant they will become. So they'll sink faster and faster. This happened to me once when I was first learning to scuba dive. It can be scary.

The opposite applies to ascending. This is why good buoyancy control is such an important (and difficult) thing for scuba divers to learn.[2]

From a buoyancy perspective, a metal pod is more like a camera in an underwater housing. These are rigid in construction (usually either plastic or metal) and their buoyancy characteristics don't change with depth.

Hi! Karl Li from Disney Animation here; I can try to answer any questions about the dataset that folks may have.
I'm not sure why anything needed to be taken apart for him to reach his conclusions?

Amazon is manufacturer and retailer (so no double margin), they own the Alexa IP which does the real work in both cases, and has deep enough pockets to try out this market (so they don't even need the margin).

If I had to have a reason why Sonos might still be worth something it's the luxury brand value. Like owning a B&O stereo in its day. Yes you can buy cheaper but are you a real connaisseur then?

I doubt they would fall asleep, as the experience of being wrapped up likely would still produce plenty of adrenaline.

And would it be quiet? I would expect sounds of air bubbles, breathing apparatus, scratching along rock in the tightest passages, etc. Nothing high-volume, but it would certainly be audible.
> relatively long duration certificates are one area where they have something that Let's Encrypt doesn't.

For some time recently, AlwaysOnSSL[1] was issuing automated, free and trusted certificates with 12 months validity via HTTP or DNS DV. They've since disabled new registrations (who knows why), but I'm still able to get these on my existing account.

Comodo is issuing 12 months certificates for cPanel servers, and 3 month certificates for all domains on any licensed cPanel server (without the rate limits imposed by Let's Encrypt). In fact, the cPanel Comodo CA is currently the second largest CA with some ~13-14% of all currently trusted certificates, in front of Comodo with 8% and behind Let's Encrypt with ~66% [2].

So, I'm not sure that it's strictly true that commercial CAs will refuse to do anything that cannibalizes their own sales. I think there are some mixed models that can work (RIP StartCom), and I hope we see more of them for the sake of the WebPKI. Overwhelming reliance on a free CA that is funded purely by donations doesn't seem like a good thing to me.

So Long TNT, There's a New Explosive in Town
I'm aware it was used in Visual Studio, and oh, the Expression Studio suite [0] – another discontinued line of great products, for making stuff with WPF – but that's all I can remember.

Not even Calculator or Notepad used WPF as far as I know, which would have been the simplest apps to port and could have bolstered developer confidence in the technology (the point of this whole discussion.)

And why is it "was"; does VS now not use WPF?

Thank you so much for your work on Neocities - and sorry for sending the HN hoard your way!

I personally think the support model is all about scaling properly - or simply not scaling past a sustainable point. As long as the number of patrons scales with the number of "freeloaders" it is a sustainable model. The issue is if you begin to hockey stick and don't restrict your scaling (because you "want to be larger" or you "hope people will donate as we hockey stick upwards"). Once that happens, donation ran sites tend to collapse under themselves - which, for recent examples, is what has happened to so many pomf.se clones. Becoming too popular can become a death sentence.

As a support-driven site, can you provide any insight into that? Or offer whether you agree/disagree with the idea? Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the matter.

I find it surprising that clearly sport-oriented children from a fairly popular tourist beach destination don't know how to swim.

Sunrise even with DST in Stockholm is now 0345 (AM). And the Sun sets at about 2200 (10 PM). DST is just an annoyance at best.

Yes, it might work great as 20 teams of 5. No, not probably the way most people would do it.

It's not a matter of management, it's a matter of self-organization. People are not fungible like money. They are also not robots. So you just can't "manage" them or slice them into various groups and expect it to work well. You also can't take one giant problem and create 20 teams and expect them all to decompose it and solve it optimally without a lot of guidance. The things that work are counter-intuitive and the things that seem like they should work actually create a lot of friction and waste.

Put differently, there are a ton of startups that never made the leap from a 5-person team to a 100-person small dev shop. There are really good reasons for that -- and those are people who have been working together for years.

Soothing read.

I could sense my mood improving as scanned through the article, which begs an important question: does picturing a greenery of a forest up in the head have a similar effect -- on the brain, at least -- as spending time in an actual forest? (of course, picturing for sure won't expose the human subject to other holistic benefits the article talks about)

Here's an interesting piece from National Geographic Magazine on the subject from over a couple years ago. [0]

I have a Chromecast Audio, plugged into the HiFi amplifier and good floor-standing speakers I've owned since I was 21. I use BubbleUPnP to control it, and have MiniDLNA running on a small server to share my music. (Though there are other ways to expose a music collection from a phone, NAS or whatever, or skip both of these and use Spotify or similar.)

I don't know if Google log every track I play — the Chromecast doesn't work if my Internet connection drops — but they haven't got GDPR compliant permission from me, so perhaps not.

Streaming the audio directly from my MacBook is unsatisfactory, it drops out a lot. So the soundtrack to a film playing on a laptop can't be done this way, I would instead plug the laptop directly into the HiFi. The equivalent setup works on Linux with an ethernet connection, but was a hassle to configure and get working so I haven't bothered with my new Linux computer.

I only have the one pair of wired speakers, I haven't tried the multi room feature.
There are trains that run all through the night and can get you from Shanghai to Beijing for a morning meeting.

The D312 leaves Shanghai at 7:10pm, and arrives at Beijing South station at 7:07am. Even if it takes 45 mins to get a taxi, you can still make it to financial street or the central business district for a 9am meeting :)

Seriously, though, would you prefer to take a 6:35am plane, or (if it were available) a 4:10am train scheduled to arrive at the same time? Going to bed at 9:30pm in order to leave for the airport at 4:45am isn't terribly disruptive. But taking the train would likely force you to split your night's sleep into two chunks.
You were arguing for lowering the minimum wages. It doesn't need to be lowered in your examples.

Compared to what? Apple or the mobile OS du jour? Most other operating systems in commercial use, and we can look both at the commercial unices and the embedded stuff, supports APIs much older than Windows itself.

Support for the Win16 API has been abysmal recently. My limited experience of old DOS and Windows applications is that they often run better under dosbox or wine than native.

I think a direct democracy would be a disaster.

The average person can't sink the time to become knowledgeable on all matters that affect them. Worse yet, the average person is trivially manipulated through mass media. To game the entire system, you just have to gain control of the education sector and grow yourself a generation of placated consumers that do as they're told. And exactly this seems to be happening in many countries right now.

Getting a desired outcome on any given vote by polarising the topic along some axis sounds like something that could be achieved with current generation ML.

So you want to do the redistribution in shares issued in ownership the state will sieze from every single company rather than just doing the redistribution in cash. Seems like a really destructive way to achieve the same goal with no added benefit.u

Also it’s kind of comical to insinuate that such shares issued by a government that just appropriated a huge chunk of private corporations would somehow be more secure than cash issued periodically because they are harder to take away, I mean they would litterally signify that this government will take whatever they wish without recourse.

This brings to mind an annoyance about Netflix.

If you search for something they don't have, they won't admit that. They give you search results as if you asked for random crap in what their AI thinks is an appropriate genre (in reality, they just span you with what they want you to watch, e.g. paid promotions and Netflix properties).

I was looking for "Elementary" episodes. I got a cluttered page back full of crap without a single Elementary episode or a simple statement to the effect that "We don't carry Elementary episodes".

I'd never pay for Netflix. I get it free from T-Mobile.

To be honest, Beats was probably bought because of its streaming services rather than its brand image, though of course that's a nice bonus.
Totally deserved IMO.

The employee in question posted some tweets about “narrative design” and some streamer (seemingly politely) replied that he disagreed before reiterating the same points the employee made.

The employee then goes on a mildly offensive rant about how that person was “mansplaining” and how hard it is to be a female game dev.
