> The biggest complaint I ever hear that isn't based on a non-truth is "it smells bad".

Why should you send someone to jail based on their smell?

You can legally cook pungent meals, burn smelly incense, slow cook meat over a stinking smoker, smoke fetid home rolled cigarettes, take one shower every month, have terribly foot fungus or a really bad case of farts.

All smelly but legal things.

Here in the Canadian town I live, you are not allowed to smoke or vape it on any public land. If you rent, your landlord has to agree to it. You can legalize it and still control it.

To be honest, the smells decreased since it was made legal. Police would tolerate it so nobody called for "pot smell". That was a bad waste of resources. Now that it's up to the landlord to enforce it, people are more willing to call.

I would never call the police on my neighbors for a smell. If I knew that someone went to jail over personal use because of me, I would feel really bad.

However, I would ring the landlord in a heartbeat if their action was not allowed in the lease.
Are you suggesting both apple and amazon are covering up the truth?

Hey, member of the embedded wg here.

Originally, our first push was to get Cortex M bare metal microcontrollers as a "Tier 1" stable target for the 2018 edition of Rust.

Over the last couple months, we've been expanding, and have subteams for a bunch of different topics, including chip support, drivers, documentation, tooling, etc. We're mostly focused on helping other people who are getting started with embedded rust, as well as give feedback to the compiler teams, etc.

It would be interesting to hear more about your porting attempt, we also have a blog - https://rust-embedded.github.io/blog/ - if you'd like to share it as a blog post.

As Steve mentioned, https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg is our main coordination repo, and has links to most of the stuff we're actively working on.

I think it's a good name. Reminds me of Reddit, which is not a bad thing.
...because some people think that 6DOF HMD + Touch is the first real generation of VR, and now it's time to make THAT affordable. The other improvements to VR, at the high end, are less interesting to them. Sure, they're nice, but they essentially think 6DOF HMD + Touch is the Minimum Viable Product for VR. At least for the 80% Gaming / 20% Video market, as they said at Oculus Connect. That's what Oculus Quest is.

If Oculus Quest feels "almost as good" as an Oculus Rift in many games, I don't know why you think that'll be "unattractive for users".

Hell, I think Beat Saber alone is worth the price of admission on an Oculus Quest.
I don't think ads inherently promote ad blocking, but you're right: this specific instance of an ad breaking links and lowering the quality of other sites does indeed promote a culture of ad blocking (if they can remove the fbclid param?).

I don't see any indication that advertising online is an industry digging its own grave. On the contrary, the increase in quality of ads over the past 10+ years (especially in terms of unobtrusiveness and relevance) would suggest to me that online advertising is digging its way _out_ of the grave it dug itself with flashy, irrelevant ads throughout the 90s and early 00s.
I also believe that marijuana is addicting and harmful and yet I am pro-legalization. When use is criminalized there is no good legal approach to fighting the addiction. It funnels money into organized crime. I'd much rather see sales of marijuana controlled, taxed; addicts being helped; every little pack of this stuff slapped with a warning about health hazards.

It's not a huge amount of work, but it is a significant time investment. I'm thinking more of a nearly-sealed box that is entirely automated, a family could purchase for a couple thousand dollars, and then it produces food for a few years. It's not so much robots in the sense of things which drive around the landscape that will improve that sort of things, but the work in the 'vertical farming' market. Isolated systems which eliminate the need for pesticides, herbicides, etc, can greatly reduce water usage, can optimize light cycling, maybe even automatically perform selective breeding to a degree, etc.

I don't think they have much in common. There's not much out there really similar to QNX. Maybe Minix, since it's a microkernel with good userspace POSIX support. No "real time" support though. There's FreeRTOS, but it's not terribly similar to QNX either.

You do ask some good questions, but if apple can dropship my one macbook pro from China when I order it, I suspect they could dropship 1 (or many) of these boards to Apple, Amazon, etc when ordered. In other words, they wouldn't have to produce all of them with this special chip. Hell, they might only need to send one to each customer to infiltrate their network. If Apple ordered thousands of these, I doubt they would xray each one (assuming they're multi-layered boards).

WebASM really only makes sense in the context of embedding untrusted code, which outside of the browser is a concern that largely doesn't exist.

Otherwise you are severely crippling yourself for no real gain. You're going to lag the hardware features by years if not decades, you're not going to get arch-specific optimizations as readily, and you're going to have huge startup costs. You're also stuck with sandbox restrictions that you've self-imposed, making it harder to do things that would have otherwise been trivial or needs to be re-invented.

You could maybe squint and claim you need a portable IR, but given there's only really 2 ISAs in widespread use (x86 & ARM) does that _really_ matter? Similarly you could claim cross-OS support, but again as there's only _really_ 2 OS's for each target (Windows/Linux for server, Android/iOS for mobile) does that _really_ matter? Critically does it matter to such a degree that you'd rather severely cripple your own app to get it instead of just compiling it 2, 3, or 4 times?
This is an example of a bias in perception of discrimination. You dismiss the idea of discrimination of whites and men upfront. You probably believe whites and men are not discriminated against in any substantial way. You are even willing to paint discrimination of whites and men as a "loss of previous favors".

Consider this example: Difference in pay between men and women is a small discomfort (single women can afford 5% smaller homes) while divorce and child custody courts ruin lives (of men in 90% of cases) and cause unbearable pain (due to loss of contact with children). Yet pay equality is talked about and politically pushed through much more than joint child custody. This is what I call bias in perception of discrimination.

This is all a bit OT, but I think it is understood that misjudging discrimination and taking disproportionate action can damage opensource projects.
High-end security cameras have day/night modes with IR cutoff filters. But yes, you're overly paranoid.
Here's a counter-idea for this game:

You wake in in 1993 with no memories except perfect insider knowledge of how Amazon was built down to the finest details. You have a full year of lead time to drink Jeff Bezos' milkshake.

Do you:

1) Spoil all the resources he used so that an unknown entity becomes the main online merchant instead, with the typical "morals" you'd expect a big company to have?

2) Build Amazon yourself plus "morals" accepting the real possibility that those changes to the formula cede your competitive advantage to a less "moral" unknown entity?

3) Build Amazon exactly as Bezos did, but with the strong belief that after 20+ years of extremely dedicated work on your part you'll still feel like the rest of the world deserves the payoff more than you do?

4) Find out you're mostly interested in video games and can't be bothered to change history. Plus, it's really convenient to get those games from Amazon!

Well you don't have any examples of the documentation that is produced. Our even of how you actually write the documentation.

To me the readme and examples you've linked read like:

1. You write normal code with no inline documentation, and no links to external documentation.

2. You run it through a tool with produces JSON. And feed that into a static sure generator.

3. Your code is now magically documented. Somehow.

I have no idea where the actual documentation is...
The amount of time investment is really surprising coming into it, even as a hobby developer. The media portrayal seems to imply that you download a model, press a button, and out pops this perfectly printed part hot off the bed. The reality is more like

1. Calibrate the Z-axis again because that end-stop is glitchy
2. Apply some sort of adhesive to the print surface
3. Print with support (wait 5-20 hours) and hope nothing goes terribly wrong causing you to start over at step 1
4. Carefully remove the support material, hope the delicate bits of the part don't snap off in the process, if so start over at step 2
5. Sand, polish, and generally clean the part

That's just for my hobby printer making, let's not mince any words, rather low quality prototype parts and figurines. I can't imagine the complexity that goes into printing these huge structures with production quality requirements. It's impressive, and I'm sure they're making the most of the tech since it can accomplish certain things that would be quite difficult in other mediums (the embedded sensors seem like such an awesome idea) but the time investment seems like it would certainly be quite high.

Other than the coolness factor, I'm not sure it's more efficient than ordinary construction techniques, but I'm also just a hobbyist with a desk printer; I'm sure the folks actually working in that industry have much better insight.
In some cultures, it is impolite to refer to someone by their given name. "Mr X" or equivalent is the polite way to address them, especially in (for example) a business context.

And yet, I almost never see this happening in online communities and have never seen anyone take offence at being referred to by their first name instead, despite the fact that in an in-person context they might do.

I'd love to understand why the two scenarios are different.

It sounds like the issue in the example you state was perhaps the "talking down", not the name.
> This seems to be implying that [...] rape [...] where "the perpetrator did not threaten to harm or kill the victim" are not "real" rape.

This feels like a misreading, considering this section (which you quoted):

>> Which makes it no less a crime, of course, but people may have images of rape which involves a other physical injuries, by a stranger, in some dark and deserted place.

It's conversations like this that lead many people to be dubious of CoC. I'm not convinced that rape apology was happening here. "Kind Communications Guidelines" ask that you be charitable interpreting his mail and asks that he listen to your feedback. CoC leads to you trying to have him removed from the project, for an email that you may not have even understood correctly.
"Belonging" and "gnosticism" are the drivers.

Belonging: people are really desperate for things to participate in and cheerlead. It doesn't matter if it's true, and (rather like the famous paper on criminal signalling) it's better if it's not. Because that demonstrates that the people who listen to what you say believe in you. Conversely, by contradicting people you're showing them that you don't belong together.

Gnosticism: salvation through secret knowledge. The public sphere is compromised, so the best kind of knowledge is forbidden and non-mainstream. "Doctors don't want you to know this".

In a way, every false chain letter is a tiny cult.

>I think it's pretty transparently clear that even if you hate the drug itself, there have been no obvious disasters in the legalized states. Tax revenue plus no hugely obvious negative effects is a hard argument to deny.

As someone who supports legalization, it's still way too early to definitively say that. Marijuana is not a harmless substance. There will very definitely be some negative effects, and acting like it's a magical panacea will not be helpful. Marijuana addiction is very real, although it only affects a small subset of users (~9% is often quoted). There have been zero long term studies with regard to a population's lifetime health outcomes having regular access to highly potent, legal marijuana. Only time will tell, although on the net I have no doubt these negatives will balance to an overall positive.

Really this whole business with tracking obsession is highly silly in my opinion. They gather this data with all of this overhead under the assumption that it will somehow boost sales instead of improving service or price margin. You know things that actually helped Amazon gain retail traction.

Shoplifting is an even worse excuse given that most retail theft is done by their employees and they seem to show no signs of trying to boost loyalty and engagement.
I still don't really see why the elimination of this deduction was seen as unfair - and I live in California. Why should contributions to one's own State be subsidized by the Federal government via a tax cut? It doesn't seem right that I get to get out of paying federal taxes for the rest of the nation (which is, on average, poorer than California) by paying taxes to my own State. On the whole, this makes the tax structure more progressive, which I always thought was something liberals like.
That's what every CoC does.

Why did these demands for retraction take so long?
I disagree strongly with your interpretation of my comment, which I made in good faith. I apologize for sounding rude or aggressive, but I'm confident that I haven't broken any guidelines.

I've asserted that the OP is preaching what is essentially religious ideology, and that he or she is engaging in virtue signaling. I think it's a very uncharitable interpretation of what I've written to label it as "name calling".

I have responded to the strongest possible interpretation of OP's comment, a reasonable summary of which is: "We are all laboring under biases, conscious or unconscious, which have directly caused a certain demographic constitution in our community". Again it's very uncharitable to suggest that this is a straw man.

In my view, OP is advertising very bad ideas that deserve to be challenged passionately. Am I not allowed to do so here on HN?
Most people I've spoken to don't even realize Amazon is a "marketplace" that has multiple sellers.
In self driving cars (up to level 3) it will be a traffic violation to use any devices other than the onboard entertainment system. The reason is that the car needs a reliable way to tell the driver to take over. If the only entertainment is through the onboard system the car can reliably get the drivers attention when necessary.

Coincidentally this is also the perfect way to cut out any other advertising channels and have complete control of the users attention.

I don't know if this will happen, but I'd bet that there are people in any major car company and beyond who are thinking how they can bring this scenario into reality.
Call me a cynic, but the more these aholes call for a retraction the more I feel the story has legs. Even if it isn't true it's very plausibility is what scares them shitless.

>Maybe, but let's regulate marijuana like alcohol first, and then, when we regulate alcohol like onions, we can move on to do the same with marijuana.

But that leads to stupid laws around public consumption and possession, which make sense for alcohol but not for marijuana. It should be treated exactly like tobacco.
>That could prove useful to the terrestrial radio industry, which continues to lose territory and ad dollars to digital streaming services like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.

You know what would be benefical to the radio industry? To stop playing the top 4 songs (of any genre) over and over and use some real music innovation and variety.
If that's the only question then the answer for every major company is "guilty". I don't think doing business in china means that Bloomberg gets to make up a bunch of BS from mysterious anonymous sources without a single piece of physical evidence, wiping out billions in market value, and just call it a day and we're all supposed to believe it because they use the word "China". I think we can probably hold them, and ourselves, to a higher standard of journalism. Though, clearly there is a huge market for China-hating technopanic, no matter how little evidence or credibility there may be, since some people will literally believe anything if they think it's done in China.

I was able to reverse engineer the Android app and pull out the API key, the api itself is documented if you make an account on the developer site, but you can't get an API key without a business agreement
