How does this work with other essential arrow combos that already require many modifiers, such as Alt+Left=Back, Shift+Arrow=selection, Ctrl+Up/Down=scrolling, Ctrl+Left for jumping one word, Shift+Ctrl+Arrow for selecting one word, Win+Shift+Left=moving window to next screen, etc. Now i instead have to do do do Modifier+Win+Shift+I? Modifier seems to be a cheapo button also unless you want to sacrifice having space on both sides.
It's a common misconception that there is no IP law in China. Patents do exist, and you do have to respect them (at least if it is a chinese patent or you intend to sell into the patent's country). Of course, as with many things there, enforcement is spotty, so you might get away with it for a while. But the days are over where you could completely fly under the radar with a grey market production. It's hard to completely hide your big ass illegal factory in Shenzhen, especially when you have to register every little thing with the state. As in every other country, your competitors or patent owners can just get a lawyer, look up your address, and sue you.

Granted, I do understand that from the perspective of a western entrepreneur trying to do business in China it seems to be a lawless space, especially if you've been burnt by fake products from Alibaba etc..

I wonder if the Dual SIM Dual Standby feature has anything to do with this, even as one of the minor reasons to switch to x86. Even though standby mode itself is usually the least demanding, and so it will just mean doubling of memory...

Seems very unlikely, but from product perspective it’s one (and maybe only) of the new features that’s related to baseband.
I was going to reply and say "original" just means not directly copied, but now that I look back at the screenshot, I would believe anyone telling me that it was of a new iOS version.
Sometimes I wonder which languages people use for system tools. I mean, it is hard enough that C programs (with dynamic linking) break sometimes, but building a shell on top of Python seems like a particualar bad choice to me (similar to building a package manager with python).

In my opinion, such few-dependency, high-importance tools should linked statically.

Learning is like gardening. You plant seeds, maintain their growth and hope one day they become something beautiful. In schools you will find many well skilled gardeners who know how to growth some beautiful parks, though this strongly depends on the soil they get, meaning you. If you don't work with them, or just don't have or get what is neccessary to grow well, then even the best gardener can't help you.

On the other side, not every one want's to be a park, some people are happy being a bush, sometimes people are better with being a jungle and maintain their own beauty.

Nobody can predict the future, nobody can tell what person you will be in 10 years, in 20, 30.. But probability-wise it's always a good idea to learn from those who already mastered the skills you seek to learn. Having a teacher, someone who can guide you, someone who forces you to learn the boring but still important stuff, is usually a good thing. Especially in a highly knowledge-drowning field like computer science.

One of the neater exhibits was a scrape of all the profile pictures on Yahoo personals (this was a while ago) and all the women's photos looked the same and the men's were all over the place with hats or props it was rather crazy to see. I keep thinking of peacocks whenever I remember back on it.

Perhaps we should tax something very human that nobody can escape?

Economy can be displayed as flows of money, labor and goods. We should look hard at these flows and think where even the rich can't evade by restructuring.

I don't have a pre-made solution, only ideas. The crucial idea is that one rich person is a person after all. What do people do? They consume, give money to others and export funds. Catch them when they do that. They can't avoid eating and sleeping.

Therefore switching the focus of taxation onto things nobody can avoid would be something society needs to contemplate and perhaps tackle. A completely novel way would be something I call affluence source tax. It is similar to a value added tax, however it is levied on everything a rich person does: buying stuff, paying for labor and rent, bartering, and especially for exporting funds!

Forget taxing legal entities because they are always being restructured to minimise taxing. Just look at the people themselves, not the legal entities.

Probably this wouldn't be the granddaddy of all taxing solutions, and most surely the rich will be successful in stopping this, but at least nobody can stop me thinking about this problem.
Typhoon Mangkhut: Philippines wakes to storm destruction
This is really frustrating as if you already have an FPGA (and appropriate regulators), the controller is just redundant overhead (in every metric conceivable). I'm glad to see at least the beginning of reverse engineering as some of the panels (typically kindle replacement panels) are quite affordable and even the $450 13.3" panel isn't unreasonably expensive. (An FPGA-powered PocketCHIP-like device with e-Ink would be a lot of fun).
They also added 5g as well.
Johan Wennström, one of the authors, has at least two more papers on the subject:

One might get the impression he has a bit of an axe to grind. Then again, I was a teacher at a Swedish university for one year (and loved doing it in general), and I might actually be biased to think he has, because I have to admit that the abstracts did have me nodding in agreement.

(Apologies for the low-effort comment - I'll try reading them in detail after some coffee, but this is a bit too heavy before breakfast)
Obviously you're not familiar with Marissa Mayer's work.

I remember that before Mayer, Yahoo Mail was lightweight, fast and it displayed emails chronologically and in a well categorized way.

After Marissa Mayer joined Yahoo, the Yahoo email client became slow and clunky and it grouped emails together in a strange way which made it hard to find stuff; thankfully I was able to figure out a way to disable this 'feature'. That's not even mentioning all the Yahoo Mail hacking scandals that happened on Mayer's watch.

Also, the new Yahoo logo is bad.

> Eastern Depot [1] style secret police

There no link provided but you mean the Eastern Bureau? A historical 600 year old police force? Comes across as a strange reference to make regarding current affairs.

Doesn't every country have departments within their intelligence community that operate relatively away from the public eye. Seems quite uncontroversial to me without them breaking laws, perverting justice or other nastiness.
>their super power buddy that carries the burden of dealing with other super powers.

"Do what we say, if you don't we'll punish you or you'll be forced to do what they say."

None of what you're describing particularly sounds like "free choice by the people." It's just been normalized so you don't see it as unusual or call it interference. As you say, the US is a super power. They aren't tasked with the burden of dealing with other super powers, they exert their power to maintain and further their position.

Oh, and when you look at the sheer volume of regime changes the CIA has been involved with, the blackmail becomes obvious. You know they're spying, you know what they're capable of and willing to do.

This echoes my first experience trying to switch to mechanical. But after a few retries I figured out what I needed.

1) Switches can make a huge difference and there are WAY more choices than often implied. Seems almost everyone references 3 types but there are more. I go for a non-clicking, extremely short trigger threshold style because I have typed on laptop keyboards for 20+ years and the light touch is what I know. Specifically, I'm using Cherry RGB Speed Silver.

2) Get a wrist rest. You probably never needed one before but if you have a mechanical with a normal depth of case, it makes a huge difference if you can't adapt easily.

And don't compromise on your layout. If you don't like ergo don't get one. If you NEED certain keys, get them. There are tons of choices out there, many more than you see listed on popular sites or stores. Sometimes you have to partly build them. It's not very hard. There are plenty of kits that don't even require soldering.

In the end I'm running a GK64, with the aforementioned switches, and I've never been happier with a keyboard.

The telling plots are figures 2&3, which show wages as stagnant, but not falling during the 2008-10 recession. That is because it plots the wages of those who are working (full time?) and does not account for employment loss or underemployment.

The employment to population ratio has fallen 5-6% over the same time period (and 10% from its peak) . It may be recovering somewhat now, but it's not part of the charts and not close to the peak.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment-to-population_ratio

Worse still, comparing to household income, you see that a higher employment ratio is necessary just to maintain the income. That causes childcare, prepared food, and transportation expenses to rise faster than inflation... because even if prices are constant, more people need them. That's ignoring the falling percentage of jobs with insurance and pensions that that also reduce total compensation... it also ignores stock options.
> Single-point of failure. The biggest con of electronic voting that you forgot. Its a single-piece of software that can be manipulated or hacked to change the outcome of the entire election by a small group of people

Did you even read my original comment? It is not a single piece of software that can be hacked. It is a deterministic independently, cryptographically verifiable algorithm. You receive a receipt that allows you to personally and independently verify that your vote was counted correctly.
I could imagine both. In the case I mentioned the warehouse was euipped with highracks up to 13 meters if I remeber well. Also the drone flew during non-working hours, so yeah some ground based solution would work too.

It's surprising how many authors all of these papers have. It makes it difficult to allocate credit.

Not saying this is the case here, but I'm sure that if someone was very strategic about it, they could get their names in a lot of high quality papers without having to do much work.

In fact, I think that people who focus more on the political aspect of their careers tend to be more successful than people who actually do the innovative work.
I used to work for Music Trader, which was a local San Diego used media chain that was purchased by CDNow. It's been forever since I've seen that name! Crazy to think they ended up being bought by Amazon. I was only there for like 8 months of their ownership, but it always felt like they were on the edge of going under. I recall the FoxPro based computer system they brought in was life changing for us.
In my experience, memory LCD has been a better technology to work with:
https://www.sharpsma.com/sharp-memory-lcd-technology

No crazy +/- 40V lines, no external driver circuitry, and extremely low power. Not as low power as E Ink, but since you don’t need to drive wacky voltages, your power budget math will come out the same or better.
Carbon fiber doesn't do very well under repeated vibration and shock loads, and is very susceptible to UV damage.

This can of course be mitigated, but that's part of why CF frames are expensive.

And in the end, the weight savings are rather small, most people do fine on hills as long as they have the appropriate gearing.
Supermarkets are open from 7am to 10pm Monday-Saturday even in small cities. When you can't plan your week around this, you have other problems that won't be solved by abolishing Sunday laws.

Recently, I brought a Dasung paperlike HD to use as a monitor. (crazy expensive, prob should've spend money elsewhere...)
I thought some things were impossible with eink, but it proved me wrong. (video in a reasonable fps)

It has a few different ways of display. For example:
Floyd–Steinberg dithering: essentially only black and white with dithering, and the speed pretty good.
A16: uses 16 shades of grey, but the speed is horrible for moving images.
So I wonder if a mix of the two can do much better (e.g. moving objects using floyd-steinberg until it stops moving)

Before doing that, I need to know the exact limit of eink.
Are some operations slow because the microcontroller or because it is the limit of the display module itself?
This article shows such a question is not that easy to answer using the openly available information.

Also, I'm interested if there are algorithmic problems to be solved in this space. (I do research in theoretical computer science).
If you are in NYC and knowledgeable I'm very interested to chat (I know little, but I have the monitor you can play with).
Braille cards could easily be printed and mailed out to voters who request them.

A small number could be sent to polling locations each cycle, to account for loss and damage too.

This would be a far better use of resources then trying to make electronic voting not a disaster of security problems.

Depending on the weather, yes you do need winter tires. All-seasons are a compromise, and the only actually good ones wear out really quickly.

Because Apple have worked out a fairly good mechanism to prevent the system from not falling to sleep when the lid is closed.

Open a Terminal and type:

pmset -g assertions

You will get a list of all processes and which kind of sleep mode they are preventing currently.

Having said that, it doesn't work well always. I remember that I had issues with btsync once, which was actively preventing sleep even when the lid was closed. This turned out to be a bug, but it was really annoying. An issue with modern MacBooks is that you cannot see anymore whether the device is sleeping or not as Apple decided to remove the status LED.

So it can still run hot in your bag, but it usually does not and good App developers test for this when it applies to their applications.

From the perspective of the LP, sure.

From the perspective of the VC, if they have a bunch of losers in their portfolio it means that they're not going to be able to raise another fund in 10 years, they won't have any carried interest (which is where VCs make the bulk of their compensation - it's their 20% of the total profits), and they'll have to content themselves with the salary they drew from the fund management fees.

BTW, most LPs are things like pension funds and university endowments, along with hedge funds that pensions & universities invest in. So if you're ever wondering why your parents' retirement has suddenly vanished or your kids can't afford to go to college, this is why.
