It's not a market. It's like a shopping mall on a cruise ship—you chose to go on this cruise, and if you don't like dealing with the ship as a monopoly vendor, you can get off the ship and buy whatever you like from wherever.

Just because this cruise happens to be the nicest, most comfortable vessel in the sea doesn't mean you have a right to expect space to be reserved on the ship for competitor's stores.
Bug bounties are a) professional courtesy to say "thanks for telling us" and b) a way to incentivise someone to write up the bug report.

Otherwise, if I as a white hat discovered this bug, I might just not bother reporting it. I wouldn't exploit it, but the next guy might. Hence, bug bounty programs.
Your experience was very different from mine - I had to have two Chinese locals sign as guarantors just to get a prepaid China Mobile plan. My bank account took two trips of 1-2 hours each. Both times I went with a native speaker, so it wasn't a language issue. It could be because I'm in a less developed city - can I ask where you were at?
This would be like someone threatening you with violence and forcing you off the road because some other human driver killed someone. How is that reasonable?
Around here (Boston) roofs tend to have a lot of obstructions: dormers, skylights, chimneys, vent pipes. They're also typically very steep (1:1) so North-facing isn't an option. Then you lose some space due to shading from trees and other houses. When we got solar there was only room for panels covering 1/4 of our electricity usage.
GCC implementation is gross and many compiler people prefer working on and with clang/llvm even if the generated code is inferior.

Letters to a Young Mathematician
From my point of view, it looks like OSFP is a bit more "conservative" design, its larger body size means they can fit more heat dissipation and a larger heatsink attached to the receptacle. From optics vendors and manufacturers who were concerned about being able to fit the same functionality and reliability into the same mechanical dimensions of a QSFP28 (QSFP-DD). But still small enough that 36 can fit in a 1RU front panel.

There's a bunch of videos on YouTube of how to repair washing machines, clothes dryers and dishwashers (repairing refrigerators usually needs special tools & training).

A good example is the cast aluminum bracket supporting the drum in modern front-loading washers. It commonly corrodes and breaks, and is often the reason why the machines get replaced. It's about a $120 part that will give your $1500 washer another 3 years of life -- as long as you're willing to put some free labor in.

I have some Y-3 fashion sneakers that I've been wearing pretty often for 5+ years and they are still in good condition (when I bother to clean them, anyway). Maurizi or Rossetti shoes seem to be holding up pretty well, too.

On the other hand, originally expensive and equally Italian Malo shoes (granted, I got them at Filene's Basement for pennies on the dollar) seem to be designed purely to look at, but not to actually wear outside.

I’m not sure I could agree with that statistician can “learning new things” with smaller data points. Statisticans might come and see the pattern with “better” prior than ML models, that allow them to come up with better conclusion. However, given the same dataset, there is a maximum to thee information that can be extracted from the dataset. Ideally, Any human(think of human brain as a pattern recognizer) or appropirate statistical method would come up with the same information from the datast, given no prior

No, really. In English one meaning of the word "roughhousing" is this experience. If you ever have done this with children or with your parents as a kid, this play fighting/wrestling which is called "roughhousing", you know that the feeling is what is being described here. Puppies and dogs have very similar behavior and people can even roughhouse with their dogs and they love it. Roughhousing has definitely gone out of favor in current mainstream child raising circles, but some people think it is a good idea[1].

[1]https://psychcentral.com/lib/6-benefits-of-roughhousing-for-...

6. Roughhousing brings joy.

As a species, humans are hard-wired for roughhousing, so the body and mind are happy when we let it happen. According to studies in neuroscience, when the play circuits in the brains of mammals are activated, they feel joy.
But even if you DON'T show up as featured, maybe you're one of the 10 vetted apps that do what yours does, instead of 1 out of 100 on the Play Store. I think that's what's being discussed here.
Yes, it can help with small expenses. However, each year that passes those expenses become more expensive while take home compensation stays at fixed dollar amount that isn't adjusted for inflation.

For example, medical expenses can, and do, bankrupt people. No amount of saving $20 each month will pay off many medical bills. It's the reason that medical expenses are the top cause of bankruptcy, followed by job loss.

The problem is that budgeting is portrayed as a panacea to poverty or an altar on which the poor are chastised for their suffering.

> The Orange Alternative a Polish anti-communist underground movement, started in Wrocław [..] in the 1980s. Its main purpose was to offer a wider group of citizens an alternative way of opposition against the authoritarian regime by means of a peaceful protest that used absurd and nonsensical elements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Alternative

Fascinating. This is a great idea. Too much of modern counter-protests against politic ideologies is rooted in violence and property destruction these days. This is a far more effective approach.

Two recent studies back this up:

That’s an extreme situation as Boston is rather far to the north and has poor weather for solar. Covering a skylight with solar is a net energy win, as would taking down the tree(s). Trees are also going to block the front of your building even more than the southern facing roof.

Getting shade from other buildings on your roof is also unusual for 2 story buildings.
I absolutely adore what Let's Encrypt has done for the Web, and I proudly wear the hoodie they gave my company for our sponsorship. It's amazing what a company of 11(?) people can do, most of which probably don't even do any development.

However, I really think that they need some (free) competition --- their market domination is becoming a little extreme. Someone else offering free certs via the ACME protocol would be nice
Consider the following scenarios:

1. If an unincorporated person built and sold you a watch that turned out to keep time very inaccurately, you could get your money back and maybe get some civil damages.

2. If an unincorporated person used your payment info to take money from you monthly without your knowledge, they would lose their ability to charge anybody money and likely go to prison for fraud.

3. If an incorporated person sold you a digital watch that was likely to electrocute you and continued to sell it after people were shocked to death, that person would certainly see prison time.

---

But in a megacorp now, it seems scenarios 2 and 3 are penalised only by fines of a fraction of the amount of money they made from their very bad behavior. Criminal charges should be the standard in many cases where they are not.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about this particular case.
What else would you recommend? I haven’t found anyone who is better than the ESP32 at a similarish price point. Iirc, there was one designer from Europe that did sigfox / WiFi / GSM, but they were in the $75-100 range, and getting inventory wasn’t easy.

From what I can tell, for stuff like this, Chinese companies build better stuff, and tend to be way better about documenting it.

Banks already do that. Don't they? At least that is the norm in Norway.

Financial advisors are required to get an overview of my finances, financial competence, what goals I have and what my risk tolerance is. Customers also should have time to think about decisions.

Banks financial advisors are basically salespeople for their own services, but that's well known and the service is free.
> Our insurance demanded licensed engineers. Anyone using that term, professing, to be an engineer better be one.

The guy didn't claim he was licensed. All he said was "I'm an engineer". All the court said was "He can say he's an engineer".

This doesn't sound very problematic to me. Like, presumably you'd ask where they were licensed, right? You wouldn't just accept anyone who said they were an engineer, and then rely on the state to issue a $500 fine to anyone who dared use the "E" word without being licensed in the US?
The downside is that they tend to be less reliable in terms of obeying the specs and break unexpectedly.

I've been doing reviews of different dev boards on my channel and have had to send multiple cheap Chinese boards back because they were broken out of the box and a few others were dead within a few weeks of testing them.

For contrast, I have other chips that have lasted for years without issue... And their performance matches the spec (because they aren't cheap knock-off components).

You get what you pay for and with the cheapo ones you're usually trading paying a bit more once for paying a bit less multiple times.
Maybe it's your civic duty as a person based on your ideals, but not as a company's technology lest we think the speed radar companies are bad citizens. Crime has levels, reporting has levels, and to treat both as absolute sans nuance is unrealistic.
> Howver, I don't see how you can come to the conclusion that ordinary people should not be able to tell their children, friends, parents, or anyone, medical advice.

Please do not strawman my position. The discussion was about people purposely portraying themselves as doctors and then dispensing medical advice.

I have no problem with someone giving medical advice. I do have a problem with someone pretending to be a doctor while giving medical advice.

Sure, but in the case of the cruise ship, you can just wait until the cruise is over and buy things at your usual store at home. So the analogy falls down at a pretty fundamental level. It's more like you're living in a company town, and there's no openly advertised non-black market alternatives to the company shops.
Let's Encrypt is awesome—it's great to be able to not have to deal with buying and renewing certs, and I think the ease of doing this now is great for securing the Web. It's great to hear that they're spinning out ISRG as a separate organization to do the same thing for other parts of the Internet.

The only thing that worries me about LE is that it's almost too easy. What happens when 90+% of the Web is running certificates from the same issuer? Are there any plans to run alternate free ACME CAs to prevent Let's Encrypt from becoming a single point of failure?
All true, but recall that attacking infant animals tends to be riskier, and that these pressures operate at the population rather than individual level. A population that's too good at targeting baby prey will go hungry later, all other things being equal.
Mostly like straw. Took me decades before I figured out what that smell was as I don't actually know anyone who has to do it.

Cuteness makes us want to hug, tease and whirl around the little being (basically an adaptation for the offspring to be encouraged to test social boundaries, individual limitations, and explore how the world works), but if it's too small or fragile for that or just a picture on a screen, then one gets a little angry for not being allowed to do so (like seeing delicious food and not being allowed to eat it). At the same time one is primed for playful action (biting, pinching, squeezing), so anger already is nearby in the space of emotions. This might also be aggravated between different species as the reactions might not match the expectations.
If he gave some context in the beginning of the article where he exclaimed "Not great, to be sure, but probably not as bad as you might expect!" to say "But a 2/12 roof is very shallow" (and indeed is the minimum pitch suitable for shingles), I might agree.

But you shouldn't have to get half way into the article before you find out that he chose the absolute best case for his example and you're not likely to see the same results in the real world.
What I said is that the phrase, "just-so stories" is misused here. You even discovered that yourself when you did a Google search on this phrase, as is evident from your last post.

In Screening for Suicide Risk, Facebook Takes on Tricky Public Health Role
Well, on the infantry side of the house thing like forced marches, ground fighting (MCMAP), field training, and live fire exercises all take a toll on the body. Most of the training requires brute force and most of the Marines because they are young don't take care of their bodies as much as they should. The other side of the equation is the fact that complaining about being hurt or injured tends to be looked down on. Everyone pretty much has a suck it up attitude.

In my 20 years I beat my body up pretty bad and I am paying for it now. I have had a couple of surgeries on my shoulders. I have bad knees, lower back, and some neck issues that I am trying to rehab and make better but I will never be 100%. I'm just shooting for less pain and more mobility.

Oh, and for going right back into the same activity after you injured yourself. That is just the job. The training keeps going. In a wartime situation you would not be able to quit if you get hurt. You just have to keep moving.
> whereas if they had an endowment or some other investment account backing them, they'd be able to survive in perpetuity

There's a strong argument that entities like Wikipedia having to constantly go back to the community trough to survive, assists in keeping them well behaved. I prefer to keep Wikipedia begging and slightly desperate, rather than obese, detached, entitled, crusty and overly bureaucratic.

The user community that funds them can kill them off through funding deprivation in a short amount of time if Wikipedia decided to become a scumbag. Their annual cost to operate has perpetually increased, it's closing in on $100 million now (three or four more fiscal years at the rate they've been increasing it). They wouldn't survive long without the donations flowing in every year. They could plausibly make a large deal with eg Google on advertising if the user funding dried up due to bad behavior, however that would just be more likely to accelerate their implosion.

It's dangerous to the mission of a charity / non-profit to hand it a position of certain financial perpetuity. All organizations are very much susceptible to bureaucratic creep and wandering off mission in such situations. It's why many of the great philanthropists (Buffett, Gates and Carnegie to name a few) have sought to expend their fortunes relatively rapidly in charity rather than have the charitable trove exist in perpetuity via a perma-institution for parasites to attach to over many decades.
“Facebook’s rise as a global arbiter of mental distress puts the social network in a tricky position at a time when it is under investigation for privacy lapses by regulators in the United States, Canada and the European Union — as well as facing heightened scrutiny for failing to respond quickly to election interference and ethnic hatred campaigns on its site.”

Exactly the situation I'm in, with both a parent and a grandparent, and it's always boiled down to these people have had a significant impact on my life, and these people have not. I don't understand the obsession with genetics - the thought "he's not my real father" has never once crossed my mind.

> The garage door is a rather complex place to put them as their are a huge range of styles and you would need to either fit the opening and replace the mechanism, or design a door for each existing type sold. On top of that wiring up solar to your house is the tricky part not putting something on a roof.

I think to be practical you'd need a manufacturing line that could build variable sized doors. Since I'm a software engineer and not a manufacturing engineer I don't know if that's economically feasible or not.
Personally I feel like the most ridiculous part about the App Store is Apples so called "developer program". Charging 99€ a Year for a nearly nonexistent service is absurd, especially since they are already taking the 30% cut.

I am a flutter developer myself, so technically I could publish all my apps on iOS and Android with minimal changes. But since Apples developer program would eat up a significant portion of my potential yearly earnings I simply publish only on the Play Store that only charges a modest 25€ one time registration fee.
I would argue that anyone with an degree in engineering (and has practiced in some capacoty as engineer) is an engineer.
