Amusing though revelatory. I simply didn't know storage tube tech was used, and it's quite possible I walked by them without realising they weren't scan-line type CRTs. Your video was an eye opener.

Modern visions of futuristic tech are a riot. Straight green lines as wireframes on a black background. I even saw that on a tube advert a couple of years ago. The monitors were green because long-persistence phosphor happened to be that colour (though orange was available if rarely seen), straight lines because that was easier for the hardware even though curves were possible just too expensive, and green on black because early scan-line monitors distorted badly when the majority of the screen was bright.

At least three tech failings became iconic 'look of the future'. That's hilarious.

I watched the original blade runner recently and right at the start a company logo of tree is drawn slowly in green on black. I said to myself - that's done on an apple 2! It must have been impressive at the time.
There was a time when recruiters would put on a sheepish and embarrassed-to-bring-it-up look when mentioning the higher paying jobs they had for tobacco companies. Paid more, but few wanted the social stigma, even if their personal ethics were OK with it.

Wow, another fucking New York Times article.

Sorry. I'm not interested in participating in discussion guided by some authoritative mouthpiece of pre-approved water cooler banter.
Some of RedHat's dual upstream/downstream maintainers are possessively trying to take over the upstream projects while not doing very important changes.

Others are great human beings.

But on the whole, RedHat skepticism is healthy (this also applies to the NIH software that they push onto most Linux distributions).
>In fact, as far as major services...

of which at that time there were only 2 or 3.

Why did Jobs do this?

Countries in the EU were demanding that he do so if he wanted to sell product there. Jobs was not interested in dropping DRM until the countries started bitching. Norway banned the iPod due to the iTunes walled garden creating captive audiences without opportunity for choice in media vendor (due to incompatibilities with competition services) and France started slinging similar threats.

It all seems so altruistic in hind-sight, but really he (Jobs) was being pressured by the nation-states, and he had the opportunity to look like a pioneer by dropping DRM (an endeavor that Apple felt pretty keen about with FairPlay) -- making the competition look petty and selfish for having DRM, while simultaneously satisfying the desires of the nations with markets that he wanted to compete within.

The whole story is in that link you included. I got a different vibe from the article than you did, I think.
But who picks the pickers? The suits plan ahead and begin with the algorithm.

Part of the solo hobby of listening for me is discovering stuff and getting into a favorite artist's discog in depth. Having an algorithm just recommend stuff to you ruins the fun.

Plus, my taste is weird enough that my experience with streaming services is they either slowly nudge me towards either the mainstream where the algorithm can actually recommend stuff, or a weird overfitting where they end up playing the same stuff over and over because it can't grok the true form of my preferences. (To be fair, neither can I.)

Having talked to lawyers about this -- what they end up saying is "I am a lawyer, but I am not your lawyer and me giving you this informal bit of information does not constitute the formation of a privileged relationship. I'm not working for you. Also, I haven't done any particular research for you and this is just based on my general experience."

And then they typically shorten the whole thing to "I think you should talk to a lawyer."
>Git was intentionally designed to decentralise the process of software development, so that there was no single "blessed" repository

I don't think this is true. It was developed by Torvalds to maintain the Linux kernel, which has always had a "blessed" repository at kernel.org.

> According to ABC Action News, these affected customers ended up in handcuffs and in the back of a police car in the majority of the cases. A few people were even met with the business ends of a firearm and were taken into custody forcefully after disagreeing with police.

So with routine traffic stops, playing it cool is almost always the best bet. I've experienced scores of them, mostly for speeding, but some for reckless driving. And a couple for evading. And I've never gotten more than tickets.

One of those evading stops involved a county-wide APB :) I just said something like "Hey, I just saw "Dawn of the Dead", and got scared". Which was almost the truth, in that it was hypomania. They almost impounded the car, but eventually we all decided that it was funny.

It is only addiction if you feel withdrawal effects and you can't live without it. If you have a full-time job, family and the complexities of life, and after you are done with your duties, you play games instead of writing a side project... you are fine.

Now, between you and me. Are you side projects VERY GOOD? Is it your main passion and mission in life? Are they ideas which if enough time, got a lot of potential or are they just something you work with the hopes of it making it big?

If they aren't, you will play games or do something else. And that's fine. Most ideas and projects suck. Instead of worrying about this, play the game... and look around, when you find something truly exciting, you will do it.

Also, let you play as much games as you want, given that you do your duties, and set aside like 30-1h for self-development as part of your duty. Do programming exercises, read programming books, or things that are important on your field of expertise. Also go to meetups with other cofounders and keep looking around.

That way you are good for the job market, you chill playing your games and you keep looking for a great opportunity.

I'm also without any very good ideas atm, I browse around, checking for ideas and exploring markets. That's normal.

Don't listen to PG or people that say that you should just build something. This is only good for an Angel investor or incubator due to 0.0001% of the people that do it and find a good market BY LUCK, they go big and incubators and angel investors take their cut.

You only live once, 1 life. Enjoy it! And if you end up seeing a problem that you can fix or find something worth dedicating your life to, then I believe your brain and your body will want to do it instead of playing games(or anything that gives you pleasure/fun/challenges). Also, send me a message if you find that, because I'm doing practically the same as you.
Well, that's ~100 kWh per car on the road in Ireland, or about the capacity of a full Tesla. The transition to EVs is going to go hand in hand with the transition to renewables, because then you've got a significant amount of demand you can switch on and off at will (or run in reverse, in the case of battery to grid systems).

The future will probably look something like: under normal use, you set your 100kWh car to be able to use half of its battery for grid stabilization, and in return receive charging at perhaps 1/4 the standard price. If you're planning a longer range trip, you turn that off and your full battery is waiting for you.

Long term mobility prognosis depends very heavily on the exact level of the spine where the myelomeningocele occurs. It’s not really “progressive”, though, in the sense that that term is used medically - it’s more just “fragile.”

A progressive disease is one in which the disease process itself continues to operate. In spina bifida the disease process is complete by birth, but the result can be a fragile anatomy prone to subsequent deterioration.

Yes, and this is probably the more important half of it.

While I agree that too much or habitual over-stimulus can have a profound negative effect on productivity, without a diverse and varied body of experience, the other half of the process—convergent thinking—has nothing to converge from.

So while I don't think the article is inaccurate, it only explores half of the picture. _Excessive_ consumption does however imply an imbalance, but the article doesn't go much further than that.

I listen to a lot of japanese doujin music (self-released albums produced by amateur circles at conventions). This is often a couple hundred albums every year, between Comiket, M3, and other smaller conventions. The overwhelming majority of it simply isn't available as a physical release on typical online marketplaces, much less on streaming services. Importing the physical release + ripping or relying on community downloads is often the only way to listen to these.

These are arranges or sometimes heavily sampled albums that simply wouldn't pass on typical streaming platforms. Just something like Death Grips' cult Exmilitary album got removed from Spotify because it used a tad too many samples to their taste (although luckily it's available for free on their website).

It's useful independent of whether the comment is sarcastically enthusiastic, hyperbolic, vague or bitter.

Your actual objection seems to be that it's hypothetical when in fact that's the point of the technique.

sure, and if if the algorithm was publicly documented and focused on plishing (site structure, visual similarities), I'd be far less concerned about future manipulation. Gatekeeping like this is a very powerful tool.

I am not arguing against the existence of such an effect. I am loathe to state that the cause is that your eyes see more images per second on screen. I am not convinced that a higher framerate improves perception of the image content when over ~50Hz. I'm rather suspecting that the traditional coupling of game simulation and input processing rates to screen refresh rate is the cause: games seem more responsive because input sampling is more precise when the game loop runs faster.
I think we are maybe discussing slightly different things: you're talking about Koreans in Korea, whereas I had in mind Asians and more specifically Koreans in the western world where they and their children frequently excel relative to native people who work less hard. This is a discussion about the SAT and not the 수능 exam after all.

User intertextuality proposed that maybe the SAT should be adjusted so it "doesn't reward excruciating studying and working systems". My point is that firstly, many people find studying to a deadline to be excruciating so let's dispense with the dramatic adjectives, and secondly, what kind of replacement for the SAT scheme would not reward hard work and study? Would it even be an exam at all? In any conceivable testing regime people who study and work harder to succeed will, on average, do better. That seems fundamental. Without changing it so much it's not an exam anymore, Koreans will seem to have a cultural advantage over other less hard-working cultures and why should they not? In America they are not forced to work crazy hours, by law or the economy or culture or anything else.

It's entirely possible for the SAT to remain exactly as it is, in a way that rewards study, without implying a Korea-style deathmarch cultural ethic.

Not to mention that "speed limit recognition" is a huge waste of resources in the era of GPS. If countries want that, they should just keep an up-to-date database of roads with their speed limits, and update that appropriately. Alternatively, companies could drive cars around (like Google does for its Maps), run speed limit recognition, do manual adjustments, and upload that to their online maps.

Self-hosting some very niche videos? Sure. Trying to make a generally popular channel? Forget it.

It's the transfer and bandwidth that are the problem. There isn't really such a thing as "unlimited transfer" (there's a hidden limit past which they'll rate-limit you, and kindly ask to stop or pay more). Moreover, once your video gets somewhat popular, you'll hit bandwidth issues. Given how popularity on the Internet seems to happen in spikes, this will likely severely limit the reach of your video.

People are also spoiled by big video services with unlimited budgets and CDNs all around the world.

Is this what life is really like for most people? Are you all riding a firehose of incoming texts that need attention?

Looking over the Messages app on my iPhone, it’s basically just:

* stuff from my wife

* iMessage group chat with my wife and daughter

* “your cell phone bill is ready to view”

* one friend who always has hilarious memes on tap

* “here’s your temporary password for some random WiFi network”

* “your dumplings order is ready to be picked up!”

* “you’re eligible for a reward at the crepe place!”

* political spam that was addressed to someone else

* “it’s time to schedule your next dental appointment!”

* “your Uber code is ...”

* “reminder: your child’s annual physical is coming up on ...”

* “you’ve logged into your Aeroflot account from ...”

I’ve scrolled as far back as January while typing out this comment. Note that I don’t delete texts for the same reason I don’t delete email: “what if I need to go back to it later?” is commonly a guiding principle for me.

There’s no barrage of texts from anyone who isn’t an automated system already, and those can certainly wait. My email looks quite similar, and has become so full of automatons that I only open my inbox rarely in order to find a specific message, such as an email address verification ping.
At least she was well loved. I'm going to use this as a reminder for me to give my kitty urinary tract support supplements. They aren't super expensive and are basically cranberry or root extracts.

I had a scare years ago where my kitty wasn't able to go to the bathroom and was becoming lethargic and she looked miserable. I took her to the veterinarian and I was shocked by how few options they had. They were very experienced and genuine people, but it was clear they had a very limited set of options and sadly most roads don't lead to great places. What the vet did determine by poking a small plunger thing up her butt (no joke) is that what very likely happened is that she jumped from something and fell onto something which caused temporary swelling. The plunger thing pulled some discharge from her rectum that shouldn't be there and is basically what causes the swelling. Thankfully she was back to normal in a day and I've never seen her that miserable.

(For anyone wondering, she is an outdoor kitty with fields and trees to climb and mice to hunt)

Does Spotify notify you in any way if any song that you have in your playlist is removed from their library? I have playlists on GPM and sometimes songs just disappear because they've been removed from the service. No notification or anything, I just realize the song's gone after I check for it. I'm considering switching and if this is implemented better I'd definitely go for it.
- CDBaby (https://store.cdbaby.com) has lots of stuff (they stopped offering flac downloads but if all you're after are high quality mp3 files that's not an issue).

- Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (https://folkways.si.edu/shop) is an absolutely fantastic resource in my opinion.

Here is a morbid thought, the loneliest thing is that we didn't get to hear his last words.
I have a friend, G, whose father, like Vasily Grossman, was a Jew in the Soviet army. An embedded journalist, just like VG.

Stalin only employed Jews in these forward positions because however bad it was on the Soviet side, it was worse in the Nazi camp, so no chance of defection. Then there was the added bonus of knowing Yiddish, i.e., a language closer to German than Russian.

G's father started the first German language newspaper in the Soviet zone. G's mother was his first employee. They fell in love, got married, had G and then a couple of years later, as Stalin became ever more anti-Semitic, G's father was purged. This was in 1950, before the Doctor's Plot. G was two years old.

Purged but not killed. I believe exiled to Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod) or some other place in Siberia. Which is where he lived out the rest of his life. G didn't see his father until 1977.

Such was life in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
So what alternatives are there? Either as a service or code?
> The law that says you must do what a judge orders isn't unjust. If people can ignore a judge's orders the entire justice system falls apart. Contempt of court is a serious thing.

A normal legal system will have criteria of legality for what a court can demand, if not a clearly defined list of what it can and can not demand.

In US, well, a judge can demand you to stand on your head in the courtroom... and you will have to do that!

US has a history of people being hit with contempt of court for things being borderline silly.
