Back in those days, cassette equipment could be loosely divided into two categories: (1) hifi equipment for listening to music and (2) voice quality battery operated portable cassette recorders with a handle and a built-in speaker. (Walkman and knockoffs also existed as kind of a hybrid of these two.)

There were also hifi and voice quality categories of blank cassette tapes.

The voice quality stuff was generally good enough for 8-bit computers.

FM radio was probably somewhere between the two, at least given good conditions. So it seems like it would have worked fine. I never tried it myself. I did hear a news story about it, but it never became available in my area.
I hope you mean either three Sundays or 15 minutes, otherwise you don't get an hour.

It's enough of a pain to change all the clocks twice a year, I'd hate to have to do it 8 times.
You nerd out about radio technology, and you see what you can do with it (bigger ones, smaller ones, distance and quality of transmissions, etc).

It's a feeling of power and independence that is very lost with the Internet to me. With the internet - I'm connecting to something very very large. With ham - I'm building my own. I'd see it as the same draw as setting up your first website in the late 90's/early 2000's, with the visitor counters and comments sections. Each interaction is a treasure.
Unless you want something fancy, just check Amazon. The most commonly installed ones are obvious and quiet a bit cheaper.

I've installed a few toilets in my day and they were always a few hundred dollars. I was a bit blown away when I discovered that some of the nicer ones could be had for $5k.

Bathtubs similarly soar in price when one wants something a little fancier.
It doesn't surprise me at all, but then again I have half a shelf in my office dedicated to potentiometer catalogs.
My dad was an amateur radio operator. That's exactly what he did. If you can imagine, back in the 70's and 80's normal people didn't have access to the internet. So all of the discussions that we normally have with strangers (like this one!) were basically impossible, except by radio in publicly accessible bands. I'm not that familiar with the how things worked, but I remember my dad spending at least an hour or two a day, chatting in morse code with people. They even had a kind of news service (I guess a bit like Usenet, except by hand) where they would relay messages around the world. It looked like a cool hobby, but I got access to a computer at a very early age and was instantly obsessed by it ;-)
just a consumption device is hyperbole for sure. I certainly don't mean to imply ipad is useless or it can't meet the needs of tons of people.

For my particular needs it takes more more effort and time to complete the same set of creation tasks on my ipad compared to my mac. That includes working with media files.

I love casually browsing the web on my ipad, but the moment I want to write more than a few sentences I reach for my mac.

> even if the future can be perfectly predicted, people can still have free will?

Not OP, but essentially yes.

Things get weird if you use your predictions to influence what I do. But I'd say that takes away my agency, whilst keeping my free-will intact.

In general, those who claim determinism and free-will do not clash are called 'compatibilists'. Often, the argument is kind-of semantic. It starts with the idea that what most people consider 'free-will' is so ill defined we ought to work on the definition. It then follows that most definitions are very clear on whether we have free-will.
Then, since most people feel like we have free-will, the definition that fits with that is chosen.

At least, that is the case for me. Personally, I think the real difficult discussion lies with the concept of 'x is possible' in a deterministic world. Here, I grasp for bayesian statistics.

Gait analysis has been around for a LONG time. I saw papers 15 years ago from labs here in the states.
I think you are excluding other scenarios:

A business may not be able to pay minimum wage and training costs. The solution there is more qualified people (but they take better paying jobs), lower wage (legally impossible), pass increases on to consumers (higher wages paired with higher costs). Wage increases can't magically be absorbed, especially in service industries with plenty of substitutes. Customers will just disappear.

The best example I can think of is restaurants closing in NYC because the increased wage costs due to increased minimum wage requirements made certain business models unsustainable: http://thefederalist.com/2018/07/16/15-minimum-wage-hike-wre...

That brings back memories long forgotten. I'm never going to miss my Vic20/C64 tape drives, ever.

Except when I first got my Vic20 as a child the tape drive was half a year away. When I got it: Pure bliss. I could save my programs.

In a weird way I feel sorry for my son who never gets to experience such wonders. But then again maybe it is just good that IT will never again be the obscure, ostracised (from a child's popularity in social groups point of view) thing it once was.

Ever heard of something called an unjust law?

Today there are very few of them in the US, and fewer still of them (if any at all) that actually matter.

But it's not hard to find other nations where the story is very different.
The iT industry is full of people who don't have a talent for tech stuff. A common path for them is to get work as a programmer, survive by keeping a knife hidden under their tongue, then get promoted to manager, architect, designer, or recruiter as soon as they can. It also happens in open source software.
The idea of free will sort of deriving from some properties of particles is interesting. I admit there's a lot to our understanding of things from a fundamental physical perspective that is lacking, so although I doubt it's the case I don't think it can be ruled out on a logical basis.

I know I'm in the minority, but I object to the idea of responsibility actually, and prefer to think of change in a kind of "neurobehavioral engineering" or transformative justice sense. That might seem pathological or even psychopathic (which is ironic because I'm anything but); I just mean that I think responsibility (like randomness maybe, at least with reference to free will) is sort of a red herring. It's one of the reasons I'm interested in free will issues, because I think the notion of responsibility (outside of a very strict causal sense, as in "this geological formation is responsible for this waterfall") is misguided, and also shifts focus away from change efforts, toward retribution. To me, punishing an individual for a crime out of retribution makes as much sense as punishing a car for breaking down; I'd prefer to see the individual "fixed" in the same way I'd prefer to see my car fixed. The primary obstacle to the former from my perspective is lack of knowledge, which will diminish rapidly with time whether we as a society want it or not. I think one of the biggest challenges we will face as a society in the next 200 years (assuming we don't disappear or devolve into a dark age) is how to integrate advances in neuroscience and psychology into our sense of justice and responsibility. E.g., if you could change a person completely for the better, is withholding that change unethical? What's the point of retributional justice then? Aren't you just shooting yourself in the foot, societally speaking?

This is all tangential to the paper, but I think issues of free will become critical when you are faced with the possibility of total change in an individual.

..who later sold you uTorrent and became co-founder / co-owner of Spotify where he is described as the technical genious behind the Spotify platform.. I wonder how many hundred thousands of dollars he has invested in TunSafe considering they almost support more platforms than WireGuard in a very short amount of time.
I used mine for telemetry radios on very large model rockets at the rocketry club.

I was "the radio guy". Which was good because my attempt at being the "motor guy" didn't end so well.
I only can think of simple, basic ways: promote different values and make socially unacceptable to be the one who carves for subsuming the others.
I'm glad that WireGuard followed in TunSafe's footsteps [1] and also released an iOS TestFlight alpha / beta. Then we can help to provide feedback instead of just waiting. A week ago we had no iOS alternatives and now we suddenly have two. Thanks!

> target would be the one laughing in your face, not the customer.

Target has a thousand competitors selling substantially identical products for similar prices. Walmart, Amazon, eBay, Kmart, Costco, Staples, J.C. Penney etc. They have no market power.

By contrast, if you can't get internet from Comcast you basically have to move to another state.

I agree that the central point of the article is on target.

The notion that this is somehow a "Victorian" thing, though - that the Victorians have some special responsibility in history for inventing this strategy of social dominance - that's an error.

> Sometimes I feel like the only one who's totally fine with AutoLayout as-is.

Agreed. It took me a while to find some idioms I like, but once I did that I like it quite a bit more than what I was doing in HTML land (note: not a webdev). It probably helps in my case that this is a solo project so I had the freedom to try a bunch of different styles until I found one I like.

I find the bad part is how user events are handled, particularly when multiple parts of the UI need to be changed. This, like autolayout, could be an issue of inexperience.
Well, let's test your claim. Say there are 1 million cars in a city. Say your camera system covers 300 square miles (to handle nyc). The question is how long would it take to scan the images from a single moment and capture all license plates. At 5 seconds per plate, that's 57 days. Plenty of time to commit a crime and escape without detection. And again, you could've been doing something useful like capturing some large prime numbers, in order to break the encryption of someone who is actually trying to hide something.
I definitely do this too. But for some acedemic papers it might take me (a first year PHD without much research exp) a few hours to actually understand everything the author is doing.

Eventually you cross a line with anything.

From a public policy standpoint, I think it would be better to have people at even a very low rate with public assistance as appropriate than to have people not working at all and dependent 100% on public assistance.

Increasing the minimum wage results in some people getting a higher wage and other people getting $0.
I think it's relatively unreasonable to assume that when the study says that participants are informed that they're taking a sugar pill that the participants don't understand what that means, nevermind assuming that no effort at all was made by the administrators to address this fairly obvious issue. If the entire point of the study is testing whether or not patients still benefit when they understand that they're not taking any medication, it seems self-evident that they would be required to ensure their test subjects understand that they're not taking any medication!

I'll also toss out that there is a great amateur radio community on Reddit... where you can avoid some of the more... seasoned radio operators, their opinions and health conditions ;)

It's an incredibly broad hobby. I just got my first award by downloading digital images (SSTV) from the ISS using a $35 handheld radio, and that didn't require any talking at all.

There are tons of things you can do, so many that it's hard to sum up. It also combines well with other hobbies. Or it can be a symbol or inspiration of its own kind, an objective reminder that more science in your life is a good thing.

One of the biggest advantages is the practically free education. If you upgrade your license you'll learn a lot of really fascinating stuff. I really wish I knew about propagation and differences between the various bands and band schedules back when I was a kid, fooling around with my dad's Patrolman radio. I also learned how effective logging can be, and have applied that in just about every area of my life.

Finally, there's just something about breaking the silence and making that call when you're out in the middle of nowhere. Even if you're the world's biggest introvert, you might end up helping somebody by keeping your radio turned on and tuned in.

You could take a handful of sand from a sand dune and say "I took only a few grains of sand home with me"

You could say "only a few of the thousands of visible stars are close enough to send a signal to" even if that means hundreds.

But you wouldn't say "it takes 40 light years to reach the star, so the laser can reach it in a few years". You might say "It would take 1000 years for a spaceship to reach the planet, but a laser can do it in a few years" even if a "few" meant 40.

NYC has winters, and I never even thought of driving in Manhattan.

There are many ways to make a city walkable in winters, but for the most part, density suffices: the city acts as a shield and a heater.

As for having public transport at the edges of the city only - not a problem if that boundary is never too far.

For some part, Moscow has embraced this idea, with the so-called transportation "rings" (highways and subway) encircling the city - but they do branch inwards.

I can comment on the SUSE bit. In the past we had some proprietary products (SUSE Studio comes to mind), but they've all been sunset a long time ago.

Now-a-days everything we work on is FOSS, and for almost all of our history the major products we've had also were FOSS. You could even call up SUSE in the old days and ask for a CD with all of the source code for SLES without being a customer. These days you can download all the SLES sources from OBS (it's what openSUSE Leap is based on), and SLES has a Factory-first policy that requires all new changes to first be sent into openSUSE. All of our products (to my knowledge) are FOSS licensed and we provide the source code for all of them as source RPMs -- even if they aren't copyleft -- and on GitHub in most cases.

I would very much argue that Red Hat and SUSE can easily trade blows on which is the "more open" company in this regard. For instance, SLES sources are far easier to get access to and work with than RHEL sources in my experience (and our kernel sources are actually separate patches rather than a single patch blob). But that really doesn't matter at the end of the day -- we both work diligently on free software and contribute upstream consistently. Canonical I'm not as sure about, but from my experience collaborating with them they also do an absolutely immense amount of upstream work. In the past, they were quite sheltered and didn't contribute back, but this changed significantly many years ago.

[I work at SUSE, and all of my work is upstream and free software work. I've never touched nor seen a single piece of proprietary code in my 3 years of working here.]

Clickbait doesn't mean what you seem to believe it does ("any headline that isn't the least interesting summary of the article").

More importantly, "trick" may also not mean what you think it does.

It's a rather interesting word, actually. Your interpretation seems to focus on the bad aspects, i. e. deception. But a trick can also be a clever shortcut. It might still involve some make-believe, but puts it in service of a good cause.

That's somewhat closer to the intended meaning here. And it's a perfectly valid way to describe the undeniable peculiarity of placebos.
>But when I want to get to work? Give me wide straight roads.

Why? Is getting lost on the way to work a problem? A month into working anywhere, you learn all the ways to get there anyway.

People tell me this all the time - work is vital to human happiness so we’d better keep buying in to a system that holds the threat of disaster and starvation over our heads if we don’t work.

I have full faith that if work is this valuable, we’ll do it voluntarily. I cannot believe the fantasy that we have to be forced to work or we’ll be miserable. Humans are way too intelligent to just sit there getting more and more miserable because they don’t have to work. Yes, people coming from a capitalist society usually don’t know what to do when their work goes away. But people in a society where no one needs to work will find things to do. Maybe they’ll repair motorcycles as a way of finding Zen.

There is a lot of work we can do that is not focused on economic productivity. In a world where people don’t have to work to survive, they choose what they do. Some will waste away, just as some do now. Most will not.

I think they sold because they were offered $34 billion. Although Red Hat IPOd quite a long time ago, I think a lot of the movers and shakers were sitting on a lot of stock. That's a big exit.

IBM obviously thinks it's worth it, but I'll be honest and say that no matter how bullish I am on Red Hat's business model, I'm sceptical that they can grow it significantly larger without some help. Clearly the focus is on cloud computing and you're up against Google, Amazon and Microsoft. Without at least a strategic partner with someone like IBM (or, ick, ick, ick, Oracle) it's going to be pretty hard to go toe to toe with those guys. In that context, making a "partnership" (agreeing to be bought out) and making a massively big payday for the principal stock holders is pretty win-win for Red Hat.

Having said that, I seriously wonder if IBM is at all interested in maintaining Red Hat's business model...
