Lots of punks in the crust and anarcho scenes do this kind of thing. I knew a couple back in the day, and watch a former one and her husband on youtube.

To be honest I wish I'd done it in my youth. It's way too risky and the legal consequences are dire. I know better now.
Yes, I know this: I'm relying POSIX's guarantees and not what ISO C mandates (also truth be told I usually do this in Objective-C, but that doesn't actually change anything significantly). Unfortunately I get a function pointer and need forward essentially anything, so I'm not going to have any sort of type safety at all…

The MXL AC-404 boundary mic is exactly what you need. I bought a couple used on eBay for about 40USD each. I keep one on my desk at home, and on in my laptop backpack.

It connects to your computer via USB, and it has a 3.5mm socket for you to attach your speakers (assuming you're not using your laptop's built-in speakers).

One thing I noticed is that Lineage OS (and others) pings Google servers to check that the internet connection works. Which was hilarious to find out in China, where I'd connect to Wifi and it'd tell me I have no internet.

You can disable this check through ADB and then go manually into Firefox and go to http://detectportal.firefox.com/ to open up wifi login portals. It's a bit of drag - but it works

It's crazy to think Google knows when every Android user logs into a wifi.. I'm not sure how much info can be inferred from the ping - but still

The problem is that people who are anti-nuclear are often also anti-coal and anti-fossil-fuel and anti-everything-that-actually-sustains-current-human-level-of-development.

For those people, it has to be "clean renewables", with the speculation being that technology will fix all the issues with it. That ignores that maybe technology can also fix the issues with nuclear - and more readily so.
Both Fukushima & Chernobyl would have been essentially non-issues if built further away from population centers. I know this is Sim City logic: but my answer to that would be: quite a lot!
“Some” does not equal “billions in value”. Spending the energy equivalent of several countries on transaction power equivalent of a medieval lender is not billions in value.
Interesting concept. Went to look and scrolled through the page to see the different styles/prices.

And then my entire view got blocked by some large wheel of fortune.

At that point, as with those email begging popups, I lose all attention, realize I have better stuff to do and click away.

The whole article is full of sensationalism.

1. The only connection to Kilwa is the size and shape of the coin, that's flimsy at best.

2. It's not evidence of direct contact, there are plenty of instances of coins from one place ending up in another with no direct contact.

3. Trade between Northern Australia and Indonesia is already somewhat well established.

4. Similarly Indian ocean trade has been going on for thousands of years.

This might be a cool find and further evidence of trade between Australia and Indonesia but it's not rewriting history.
Currencies, for all their make belief, have rather tangible benefits that do end up having and creating value.

What value beyond speculation does bitcoin have?
I mean, even disputes and war could only explain part of the story (U.S. is also in war with Vietnam, so as Japan and many others). I suspect their(Vietnam government's) altitude towards the Internet maybe also played a role in there.

As far as I know, Vietnam's Internet giants is far smaller compare those in China and U.S. So even if Vietnam going to full-boom in 5G (That currently require equipments from Huawei to keep up to the speed), that will still be more beneficial to international companies than domestic ones.

Maybe that's another reason why they're willing to claim down and making decision with such leverage.
> Try coming up with a price for safely storing nuclear waste for the next few thousand years.

Quoting the article:

"Environmental group Greenpeace estimates that there’s a global stockpile of about 250,000 tons of toxic spent fuel spread across 14 countries, based on data from the International Atomic Energy Agency. Of that, 22,000 cubic meters—roughly equivalent to a three-meter tall building covering an area the size of a soccer pitch—is hazardous, according to the IAEA."

That's really not a lot. Who says we need to store this for thousands of years? There's no physical limit to what we can do with it, just economic limits. Future technology may well reduce this waste to nothing at an affordable price.

Some forward thinking car manufacturers are already trying to get ahead of this. My new Jeep for example has a physical box upstream from the ODB2 port that acts as a firewall blocking all non-read commands while in motion.

TLDR, vyvanse (amphetamine) makes you productive.
Yeah, and 10 years later there are still no use cases for butcoin except:

- moving money illegaly (even if some of it is with good intent)

- speculation

And yes. It’s not just the most loud detractors who’re moving away. The loud and not-so-loud supporters are either moving away or never starting the actual support (e.g., look up why Steam stopped accepting bitcoins).
On the other hand, maybe I lowered the chance of that happening by removing my stock LKAS system. I believe your implicit argument is that the manufacturer and the subcontractors and integrators who made the stock vehicle have a lower defect rate than the OpenPilot engineers, which I’m not sure if there’s any data to support.
"The global digital logistics market is expected to hit nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars by 2025."

Yeah, but that would require different filmaking. War and horror movies made for entertainment pretend to criticize violence, but mostly glorify war presence and makes you wanna be soldier or hero.

It is possible to make war movie that feels bad, but generally they tend to be obscure (as you wont watch it for fun).

Why do we separate ADHD from other abnormality with similar symptoms, when ADHD itself seems symptom-based diagnosis?

I have my own personal hypothesis that some types of ADHD are caused by persistent stress due to sensitive sensory reactions. Also, another hypothesis of mine is that some may just develop similar symptoms with enormous stress factors (e.g. no proper caregiving at early age, or PTSD). Is there any literature that corroborates or disproves such hypothesis?
Agreed, title says how they cracked the code. Article completely fails to mention any innovation that improved working remotely. Just that they do.
Is there any evidence that Hanlon's razor is actually even a thing? Or do people just tell this to themselves to feel better about humanity as a whole. IMO giving them the benefit of the doubt isn't doing us any favors.

Big data engineer here...

This is what a LOT of open source hackers don't understand about modern systems.

It's all about the data.

Most "futuristic" technologies that we're going to see in down the road are going to be built using absolutely massive data sets.

Data sets that aren't in the public domain.

This effectively locks out hackers and open source enthusiasts and means that only companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon get to play with all the cool toys.
It doesn't matter if the discussion is inconsequential anyway, like in a high school debating exercise.

But if the discussion actually influence real-world decisions then it matters a great deal what people actually believe.

It’s interesting to see how hard if is to separate ADD from ADHD by a description of traits or behaviors.

I have ADD and pretty much recognize myself in a lot of this.

It’s almost impossible to focus on anything that is not interesting “right now” and what is “interesting” changes in cycles spanning a few weeks.

During a cycle I become completely absorbed, you know, not eat, not sleep and not being communicative, absorbed.

For a long time this worked out both personally (depending on who you ask) and with my employers/employees that so far have had no issues with my rather irregular rhythm (thank you tech!).

Oh, the storytelling and talking... I feel sorry for my brain and, in retrospect, people that had to listen (I’m sorry! And I didn’t mean to be rude and offensive, it was just my thoughts at that very second!).

As life have changed mainly through becoming a dad it has also become a lot more difficult —- not everything about kids is “interesting”, and staying up to 4 to tinker with something “interesting” is just such a bad idea when someone jumps on your face at 6.

Everyone needs food? And it’s my responsibility? Today again?! Phew... etc.

Spending energy on “non-interesting” things really is draining and seem to lead to kind of mini depressions.

I’m happy that I’ve come to a point where I at least can see some of this behavior which allows me to work on some changes.

Hard work though!

Perhaps I should write about how I run(?) a family with ADD? It would make for a lot of laughs and a some sad stuff.
Well, if TC39 weren’t a bunch of kids running with scissors, you probably wouldn’t have this problem, would you?

You wouldn’t have to have to bolt on .meta onto import after the fact. You wouldn’t have to create horrible polyfills for the horribly named globalthis. And so on and so on and so on.

Hint: just spend actual time actually designing the language.

Hint: Introduce System namespace/module with System.globals. There. Solved. Trivially polyfilled. The BS about “we can’t easily introduce new global objects/modules” is BS after WeakMaps and SharedBuffers and god knows what else.

Female nipples exist outside of sex scenes too. Movies from countries where nipples are not censored have them in non-sex scenes occasionally.

But also, I am not sure how much your explanation makes sense. Germany has more censorship on violence and less on sex or naked things and their experience with sex is pretty much similar.
It's true. I've dined at a three star Michelein and even they've felt the pressure to turn the tables for more guests/profits. It was done very subtly with an invitation to visit take a tour of the entire restaurant and kitchen, then I ended up at the bar and lounge with my party afterwords. It was all fine, but I'd have preferred sitting at the table.

Are you getting enough, good sleep? Have you consulted a doctor about having ADHD? Sounds like you might have it.
Development is a brain intensive task, getting a full proper night's sleep will make quite a difference. Try to find if you have sleep apnia, or get 8 hours a night.
Yes, you pretty much summed up all. Don't forget sleepless nights if you took it after 11 am or later. Also: Heartburn, dry mouth, and severe dehydration, loss of appetite (yay for this one actually). And flushing (pee pee pee all day).

IF you are working from home with minimal contact, it works. Never EVER answer a phone call when you are on it (this is to whoever planning to use it in the future). God knows, how many times I argued with a client just because of Adderall.

It forces anyone using it to keep the communication to a minimum. And when a client calls (usually oblivious, but demanding), you will end up arguing at some point.

Adderall = never do anything social including phone calls. I am serious.

You misunderstand. 'not just food' to say it's not solely food and nothing else, that there were many other things beside the more well known food aid. Not that it was insignificant. It wasn't.

Without it USSR would have probably lost - probably the whole war, certainly Moscow and St Petersburg. Maybe there could have been withdrawal to the Steppes - though the fightback always struck me as unlikely after such a retreat. The food aid, and the hundreds of thousands of trucks, entire divisions using GB, Canadian and US tanks, or squadrons of aircraft. First convoy only weeks after German invasion. Enough that Britain delayed some operations due to lower availability at home. Important enough to both sides, to keep Germany split on two fronts. Without it all it could have taken far longer, or been lost on the Western front too. Liberating Europe would have been that much harder, perhaps impossible.

Then it all went to crap at Yalta, though signs were there from the Anglo-Soviet treaty in 41 with Stalin's wish to stick to the Nazi Molotov-Ribbetropp pact's view of Europe, and its spheres of influence. Which is pretty much exactly what post-war Europe got.

In the Netherlands everyone is required to have healthcare by law. It's less likely that people with mental illnesses end up on the street.

No one in this thread has mentioned the Obama campaign of 2012.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/feb/17/obama-digital-...

Barack Obama's re-election team are building a vast digital data operation that for the first time combines a unified database on millions of Americans with the power of Facebook to target individual voters to a degree never achieved before.

Digital analysts predict this will be the first election cycle in which Facebook could become a dominant political force. The social media giant has grown exponentially since the last presidential election, rendering it for the first time a major campaigning tool that has the potential to transform friendship into a political weapon.
Even the first time does it. Addie or others are super strong and mess up the stomach acids fast.
I'm close to the end of initial development of a product which basically turns Microsoft Word into a desktop CMS like WordPress (it utilize Bootstrap 4 so the result is not what you might think ;))

Any example code we can put in?
True there are billions of concepts but if you think about it, a few concepts explain a ton of things. For e.g., incentives. A simple concept in theory but apply the right incentives if you are leading teams and you'll see a whole lot of improvements. And that's the beauty of mental models. You don't want billions of them. Maybe 20-30 of them have enough applicability for most of the things that you might want to change in your immediate milieu.

Here's an example :

"The heart and soul of the integrity of the ( Fedex )system is that all the packages have to be shifted rapidly in one central location each night. And the system has no integrity if the whole shift can’t be done fast. And Federal Express had one hell of a time getting the thing to work.
And they tried moral suasion, they tried everything in the world, and finally somebody got the happy thought that they were paying the night shift by the hour, and that maybe if they paid them by the shift, the system would work better. And lo and behold, that solution worked."

Probably because crappy audio is received better than audio out of synch from the video. Having the "bad international languge dub" effect on conferencing is distracting as hell.

For what it's worth voice over IP is essentially solved; tools like Mumble can have 1000s of people with top tier quality. I'm not sold at all on why you'd even want video, 90% of most business meetings (in my experience) are screen shares that could be communicated by just sending a link anyway. For personal calls use direct connect peer'd connection; in my experience all of the problems of video calling is going through the enabling server.

Part 97 prohibits communications where the operator has a financial interest in the communication. A common example for amateur radio use in emergency is radioing in orders for supplies.

I'm sure someone could easily run afoul of the regs in doing this, but isn't obvious impermissible on its face.

This sort of experimentation seems wholly in the spirit of the service to me, even if regular use wouldn't be.

Spent nuclear fuel, sometimes called waste, is actually a resource that next generation reactors will be able to tap - both for energy and uncommon element feedstock. Just like shale used to be "garbage" until the tech to make it useful was developed, spent fuel will be seen as waste until we can make it useful. Letting this very manageable amount of waste sit in repositories until we get our shit together is utterly reasonable. In the US, it would take just one facility to deal with all 99 reactor waste streams.

I don't think we need to spend money and energy to transmute it by theses questionable laser schemes. Accelerator driven transmutation of waste was shown the dustbin a few decades ago, hopefully this will have the same fate. Please don't ruin our valuable trash.

> Sure, they don't have debt (the rest of us will foot the bill),

If taxpayers only agree to foot a much smaller bill, universities will be forced to cut all the frivolous stuff and get serious about education. I'm all for taxpayer-funded college but not at the prices these colleges charge at present. You don't see college football and all the other non-educational nonsense in Germany (using that because it's an example of a country with a free college system). "Free" college should pay only for classrooms and labs, professors and TAs - no dorms, meal plans, overpriced textbooks, sports or extra-curricular activities (unless paid for by students or donors), huge admin staff and the rest.
