> So while on the surface it seems good that we have more, it's not. It's worse.

We are objectively not worse though. We have more life expectancy, quality of life, basically no more hunger, etc. This was given to us by capitalism. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's responsible for these extraordinary advances.

Consumption in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. It just means people have the means of acquiring whatever they believe will make their lives better.

To blame environmental problems on capitalism is misguided, I think. To give an example, before the invention of the car, streets were full of horse manure and associated diseases. So you could argue that fossil fuels have made our cities cleaner. Yes, industrialization has led to air pollution. Technology advancements are taking care of that, again thanks to the incentives of capitalism.

If you allow me some snark, I must say that the Soviet Union wasn't exactly an environmentalist paradise, so is it really capitalism that is the problem?

I'm doing EMC work at the moment. I've fantasized about putting a near-field probe on a 2-axis motion stage and building a 4-dimensional (X, Y, Frequency, Power) visualization with the data.

The place I work is pretty well outfitted, so I imagined it using a spectrum analyzer, a couple of Zaber motion stages we have sitting around, and a nice set of H- and E-field probes. Probably several thousand dollars worth of equipment.

Now, reading Charles' blog post, I'm blown away by how he's basically done the same thing in a very clever way using about $50 worth of parts.

Is it really that hard to understand? What's the concrete harm so far?

I've been using Google for a couple decades, and I can't really articulate a specific way that I've been harmed. Yes, I realize that there's the potential for harm from a leak or something like that, but it's hardly surprising that the abstract notion of possible harm isn't super compelling to the average user when they're currently getting useful services for "free".

There are costs other than complexity which must be considered before selecting a power source. For example, energy density per unit area. Nuclear has a much smaller footprint. Also the cost, maintnence, lifetime, and environmental impact of batteries required during night time/occluded operation is also not trivial, as is accommodating for unpredictable outputs due to weather.

There are a lot of people who are going to own nest devices that they had professionally installed, as many of these purchases push for using an on-site technician service to install for you (try buying any of the smart thermostats on Amazon, they all have an option for professional installation).
I've recently borrowed a similar device, and this one also measures formaldehyde. To be honest I'm quite anguished by it, because I can't find any indoors object with formaldehyde concentration less than 0.1ppm, which is the "safe" (by some legal standards) margin. Only outside or in a room with a wide open window it comes down under. It's even borderline higher in buildings not recently renovated. I've tried researching how dangerous is 0.3ppm or such, or how to keep it under control, but no luck. All sources are very academic...

>Sun had all sorts of good tech, worth paying for, and couldn't figure out how to make people pay for it.

Sun had excellent engineers but no adults in the room focused on selling the tech or making money. They got drunk off the dotbomb cash influx. They saw that they needed to open source Solaris to properly compete with Linux (and arguably they weren't too late) - but they didn't actually have a plan to make MONEY off that. You can't both give away all your software while simultaneously trying to switch to x86 hardware at the time when x86 had already become a race to the bottom...
This may never happen

1. China is converting as much of there funny money Yuan into Gold as possible. This helps bolster the idea that China can pay their debts. https://bloom.bg/2I5TYME

2. China monetary policy is run through banks. When a bank is to far insolvent they will make bad banks and put all of the insolvent loans into those. https://reut.rs/2WvG2zb

3. When China has enough gold to give external investors confidence they can sell off half of their Treasury holdings, create the good / bad banks, and re-engineer the economy. Leaving foreigners on the hook. https://bit.ly/2H7zdxf, https://bit.ly/2vOA1li, https://s.nikkei.com/2WgZRuD

4. The world wants cheap stuff. While foreigners will be unhappy they lost their investments they will keep buying from China and China will have a soft-landing from this upheaval.

5. China won't at that point be able to afford to buy any treasury bonds. The US Treasury will be forced to print money and inflation will go up along with various problems. This will force investors back into China because the US doesn't look like it is any better off then China is. It is a lot like someone who declares bankruptcy being able to get credit again pretty quickly.

6. To make sure productive members of China's society work China could make less productive members into caregivers helping to relieve some societal stress.

7. China's government owns part of a lot of private and public companies along with China Utilities. They can raise money by privatization like France has done. https://on.ft.com/2lN2x1F

This Bird scooter has very little that sets it apart from the low cost crowd.
Not changing policy means escalating fines (those 4% of global revenue maximum are nothing to sneeze at, and so far compliance was the cheaper route) but also, at some point, the inability to operate in the EU.

Even if a company only does the bare minimum required under GDPR, total deletion of data on request is part of that.

> Their motor torque for rotation has been done before, most recently in the Focus RS.

However unlike a traditional ICE, an EV has 100% torque with almost zero latency.

> Brakes are, in 99% of cases, inferior to mechanical limited slip differentials for the sole reason that it's much easier to overheat the brakes on track

And the overheating problem is negated by virtue of the fact that it's an EV and can take advantage of regenerative braking. While brake regen varies in EV, Tesla's is among the highest. Taking your foot off the accelerator in Tesla feels like you're stepping on the brake in most other cars. In track mode a Model 3's regenerative braking force is further increased.

Another interesting aspect of regenerative braking is that it's instantaneously applied unlike traditional brakes which suffer from pedal and hydraulic lag.

The Bird Service center would be actually extremely useful. I bought a Xiaomi M365 (which is what Bird initially used) and dealing with tire punctures is really difficult. The first time I changed the tube, it took me a week to finish it. The bolts on the holding wheel are extremely tight from the factory and tire is such a tight fit too, I broke and bent multiple tire levers trying to get it on. I tried bringing it a couple local bike shops, but none of them would look at it.
At least where I live (NC) mopeds are hugely looked down upon, as any one riding them is assumed to be a drunk who lost their license due to DUI.

Not judging or criticising but you seem to have arrived at the right time to setup a home VPN with a [ten] gigabit grade router + switch, and put a NAS behind them. (And can then use them anywhere from the outside world as well.)

As mentioned in a sibling comment, Apple's proposition has cracks and that's unequivocally true. Your usage sounds like an outlier case.

In my case, I have tons and TONS of videos (800GB at this point) so I am pondering the home NAS + 10Gbps router + 10Gbps switch setup. And yeah, I can't use Apple's iCloud for my videos.
I mentioned SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), which is a great GUI for SQL Server. There is also pgAdmin (both 3.x and 4.x have this feature), and it's also available in Azure Data Studio (for SQL Server; it's coming soon for the Postgres version).
> the US has become oil rich and indeed the world’s biggest oil producer — achieved under Trump by the way

This is some intense shilling. For better or worse, the trend of US oil production just continued under Trump.

That's also pretty easy to get.
The US is thankfully unaccepting of blatant censorship, at least by government bodies. It's far from immune to centralized manipulation of public discourse and opinion. My feeling is that CBS and other big media entities are compliant in both contexts, but in the US the way it works is subtler, because it needs to be to have the desired outcome.
Medicine is hard. Diseases have typically been defined based on symptoms, plus available diagnostic tests. But with no reliable tests, you're left with basically "collections of symptoms". So this is progress.

Say what you will about Google, they're really good at PR. They and Facebook share the most indefensible tech business model in today's political climate (at least in the west), but Google does such a better job of obscuring and re-framing that fact than Facebook does.

Filtering crap like this sounds reasonable but very quickly becomes an exercise in what I call "Giving a mouse a cookie."

I agree, I made the switch a few years ago when I couldn't find a single good Android phone that wasn't huge (and yes, I tried the Sony Z3 Compact, it had way too many issues). The iPhone SE had just come out with flagship specs and one of the best cameras on the market, so I made the jump. It was painful for a while but now I'm sure I'd feel the same pain switching back.

My main complaint about iOS is text entry. Both the keyboard and voice input are incredibly bad compared to Android, even compared to Android of 3 years ago. I still struggle to type accurately or voicetype without having to make a ton of corrections. And there are better 3rd party keyboards (including GBoard) but they tend to be slow and awkward due to iOS limitations, plus then you lose voice typing completely which is not acceptable to me. If I could have an iPhone with the native Android keyboard and voice typing I'd be super happy.

If you think that I am flat out wrong then please provide evidence. In this particular case it is you and Dig1t who are flat out wrong if you claim that Apple cannot see the iCloud data I specifically listed.

Also, I didn't say anything about what Apple might or might not do in the future. I made a distinction between worries about ad targeting and security issues that come with storing data in the cloud without end-to-end encryption.
Not sure I really mentioned much 'enterprise-level', beyond SQL Server?

Unfortunately this puts a huge burden on small businesses and individuals, as it requires them to know precisely what is and isn't enforceable in a contract, as they'd no longer be able to rely on templates. For example, the vast majority of leases are templates, and almost all include unenforceable terms.

Further, contract law is primarily based in common law, which means a lot of terms that are inserted aren't definitively legal or illegal and it comes down to whether or not they are "reasonable". In this example, almost all of the demands from Uber could be reasonable in an NDA, but are pretty clearly not reasonable in this case. However, when and where terms are reasonable isn't exactly codified anywhere.

It's absolutely a problem, but punitive liability on the drafters on contracts just creates a power imbalance somewhere else.
This isn’t an exploit per se. it is a misuse of a feature. Google has long allowed the display URL to differ from the actual destination URL, and if this weren’t the case this would cause significant problems for advertisers because many link their ads to offsite tracking domains. It’s a feature, not a bug.
> from outside, there’s no way to prove that a particular ad was served to you because of your data instead of another factor they use as input for the algorithm

Create an account, use it to excessively look for tea pots until you predominantly get ads for tea pots. Store the cookie[0] that encodes your user id. Delete the account.

After the advertised account retention period, try the cookie again in an otherwise squeaky clean session that gives random ads without the cookie:

Tea pots? Something survived.

No tea pots? No targetting.

(and yes, the onus to demonstrate your accusation well enough to convince a DPA is on you, IMHO as it should be)

[0] or whatever bits of data are necessary: try to recreate the tea-pot session after a logout without logging in officially to determine what's necessary.
I'd have redlined the hell out of the agreement (basically striking everything but "I agree not to disclose this"), added "I agree <legalese> to release Uber from all future claims related to my wife's clothing related to this trip", sent it back, and seen what happened. I doubt they'd have accepted it, but it could have been interesting to see their response.

As someone impacted by the GDPR (AAA Game Studio, and all player stats / multiplayer matches getting impacted), backups are exempted:

"The GDPR is open to interpretation, so we asked an EU Member State supervisory authority (CNIL in France) for clarification. CNIL confirmed that you’ll have one month to answer to a removal request, and that you don’t need to delete a backup set in order to remove an individual from it. Organizations will have to clearly explain to the data subject (using clear and plain language) that his or her personal data has been removed from production systems, but a backup copy may remain, but will expire after a certain amount of time (indicate the retention time in your communication with the data subject). Backups should only be used for restoring a technical environment, and data subject personal data should not be processed again after restore (and deleted again). While this adds some complexity, it allows organizations to have some time to re-engineer their data protection processes."
https://blog.quantum.com/backup-administrators-the-1-advice-...

You are absolutely correct that following the intent of the GDPR (we don't have access to the user data once they file the request) is of utmost importance. But the prior poster is correct that the data still exists.

The kitchen exhaust fans in American homes are very weak (at least, every one I've lived in, and visited...). When cooking, you can smell what people are cooking, so it's not really doing its job of pulling the air out. I upgraded begrudgingly to a Chines brand called Fotile. It's expensive and I fought tooth and nail with my wife because my natural instincts was not to trust Chinese brands I never heard of. Admittedly, it's one of my best purchases. We can be frying stuff on the stove and standing 5 feet away, you won't smell it.

I'd guess that 8051 is the easiest. I suspect that a huge percent of 8051 is still hand-coded assembly. It has an accumulator architecture and the instructions were made with hand-coding in mind (plus, there's not very many of them). I remember it being pretty easy to learn, but that was a long time ago. To me, RISC assembly tends to be quite a bit more complicated to write by hand.
