If you decide to add NFC sticker capability (scanning a sticker opens a checklist directly) please coordinate with the other person in this thread who might also create an app. I think the NFC data should be the equivalent of "checklist://cessna172cockpit" i.e. it should just contain a reference to the checklist, not the checklist itself.
OTOH having the checklist in the NFC sticker, complete with a "last modified" date might be awsome as well, if there are multiple people who use the checklist. Assuming that the whole list even fits in a sticker. Hm...

Modern Russian has no difference between paternal/maternal aunt/uncle (though there are apparently archaic forms that denote the difference that no one uses).

On the other hand, it has different words for "wife's mother" and "husband's mother", which in English are both "mother-in-law". Similar for the "father-in-law" relationship: different words for "wife's father" and "husband's father". Similar for sibling-in-law relationships.

(Of course there's the open question of whether Russian would count as "East" or "West".)
I looked into the sensing mechanism used by these cheap digital verniers [1] - which involves overlapping capacitive plates.

What I couldn't figure out was how precisely the sensing worked, because it looked like it would have to measure capacitance at the femtofarad levels, and nothing I had access to could measure a capacitance that small - or monitor the sensing process without adding enough capacitance to mess it all up. It also looked like it'd be really sensitive to the distance between the plates, but it didn't seem to control that particularly precisely.

If anyone here knows how they measure such small capacitances and how control for the distance between the plates, I'd be fascinated to hear more about it!

We’ve worked with Microsoft for decades and I personally really like them as an enterprise partner, but I’m just not seeing those sweeping cultural changes you are.

They’ve certainly opened up, they’ve even open sourced .Net with core. It works with Linux, but it works better if you feed it security through Active Directoy, monitor it with Application insights and deploy it in Azure. There is now a CLI, VSC and Visual Studio for Mac, but Visual Studio for Windows is still light years better. And that’s really the general story. They’ve opened up, but I see it much more as Microsoft understanding the market again than a “new” Microsoft. I’m fine with it, it’s certainly nice to have better products, but I do think it’s the same old story of getting the most out of your environment if you buy all of it from Microsoft. I’m perfectly fine with that by the way, they are a company after all, and if they can make better products than they did before then cool!

I don’t personally think Windows 10 is a better product though. I find it to be one of the most frustrating OSes I’ve ever had to use, aWd that’s why I’m not going windows -> Linux -> Mac -> Windows like you are. I think Ubuntu is a much better experience than Windows 10, but then, I happen to actually really like gnome.
What I'm missing is help to take a decision.

Here are ten search engines. Here are ten email providers. Here are ten photo storage options. Here are ...

Great! But the question is really: Which one should I use?

Of course it's best to give all those a shot, compare what best fits your values and gives the right results, etc. But I'm not a tech expert and can't do that for every tool I use in my life, and for the majority of people this will be too effortful.

The only way to move numbers of people away from Google is to offer a simple set of options, something that can easily be a new default and be as convenient as Google is right now.

So I like to see that there's a new list with new options I didn't know - but the number of choices is becoming more and more overwhelming.

> I'm always sad when I'm the only one opting for a patdown at the airport after Defcon.

I made the decision that I was okay handing over personal information one time to get TSA Pre if it meant I could skip the naked scanners, not have to take off my shoes, avoid patdowns etc.

Generally when I'm coming back from Defcon I have a whole lot of stuff with me that I'd really rather avoid having someone take a closer look at.

I still strongly respect people that take a stronger stance than I.

A good example of poor naming. Explained:

Your younger cousin sister, either from one of your mother's brothers and sisters, or from one of your father's sisters.

Or two characters in Chinese: 表妹(BiaoMei). If she is from one of your father's brothers, she's your 堂妹(TangMei). The latter is regarded as being closer because you share the same family name, but nowadays it just doesn't matter any more.

Some of the other commenters think it's 表姐. No matter who is right, you see, the long name bears no clear meaning even for Chinese.

Countries often copy others and to have a major European economy do something like this sets a good example.

My take on the future.

ATM self driving has two issues - the places where it fails in safety are not yet well enough known, and it causes major disruptions for the other cars on the road while turning, parking, or anything that involves interaction / guessing the bahavior of human drivers for something more complex than staying in a lane.

If we would ONLY have self driving cars (no human drivers) and there was some standard they would use to communicate cross company, than self driving would be MUCH faster, not inconvenient, safer and what not else.

As time goes by, there are more and more cars that are being built with the sensors to do self driving, even if they don't have the capability or legal rights.

We will find ourselves in a few years where the majority of cars in certain areas will have the capabilities built in. At that point, some cities will start requiring self driving only, and the software will be built on that assumption. And then suddenly all this effort that Waymo is putting into coexisting with humans will be redundant.
Because otherwise thousands of developers will have to see that typo for the next ten years.

Indeed, I think that’s a critical difference that has likely protected eBay from this concern - and is an area where Amazon thought it could differentiate itself without risk of liability. The risk to eBay is that Amazon’s push on that front of deniability creates a backlash that imposes new constraints of disclosure and/or verification on eBay.

Well, the internet is still there. It's just that the majority mistook private spaces for public ones.

Well, it is convenient I guess. Your content is being found, the interface is great, someone else is paying for servers, storage and bandwidth. All of that for a little control and advertisements...

And honestly, I want platforms to regulate content. They have millions of users, some of them are underage or even democratically unstable.

It's okay to put a little effort into finding knowledge now and then.

It should probably be compared to the median driver.

Also, software gives the possobility that the same shitty driver can drive millions of cars at the same time. One bad commit might cause a disaster. Millions of human drivers wont be possesed by the devil at the same time causing havoc. Imagine all Toyotas turning full left at the same time.

While the article is interesting, it's a site that's annoying.

I use the keyboard to navigate articles frequently. This site intercepts keyboard commands - page up/down does nothing, arrow keys select specific elements rather than letting me scroll down. Worse, the article does not load at all if you turn javascript off. I spent a few minutes trying to figure out where the actual content loads from (since the page itself doesn't contain it and just references JS) - but gave up.

I can't see why they've made these choices, it doesn't seem to give any better UX than just having HTML and some CSS would.

People don't really care about automotive safety that much. If they were, they would not drink and drive, text and drive, do their makeup and drive, not wear their seatbelts, speed, not slow down in school zone or other dense area, take their eyes off the road to pick up the phone, so on and so forth.

For every demand they make of OTHER PEOPLE to improve the safety of travel, they are not willing to do even /10 of that.
Put it wherever in a "secret.zip" file? If you have the logs, just add a dummy page that they usually scan (/wp-admin or whatever) that automatically makes the client download the file.

SSH however works with zero trust. Clients are protected from bad servers just as servers are protected from bad clients. It shouldn't be possible to send a file. If it is, it is a serious ssh vulnerability.

While I'm happy to see such progress, this ultimately doesn't say a lot. Openssl is known questionable code, and more or less is known for its kitchen sink and ubiquitousness, which I presume rustls(wisely) avoided. That said, I'd be interested to see a feature breakdown, but also put up against others like boring, polar, libre, etc.
I just realised that these 'influencers' sound a lot like professional beggars. They're successful at something, right? There's no need for them to beg like that, and they're presenting it as if they're doing you a favour while they do it.
Really? It is almost the textbook definition of Conservatism. Not like 'Republicans are conservative', but the political science sort of Conservatism that ruled the world for centuries, the ideology that supports monarchies, dictatorships, theocracies, etc. The belief that the rights of the state (or church or similar) are primary, that some people are 'special' in a way that destines them to lead while the majority are destined to follow because they are constitutionally incapable of anything else. A refutation of that was the meaning of "all men are created equal" in the Declaration of Independence which was the first official codification of Liberalism. Liberalism then conquered the world, but I imagine there's nothing absolute in place that would prevent it from re-emerging.

> The problem is where people set up the goal posts and have a double standard for human vs. ai driven cars. AI cars, for some reason, are expected to produce an error rate of 0 right off the bat and ever single incident gets used to feed an existing (and often legitimate) narrative about tech bro laziness and irresponsibility.
Meanwhile 1.25 million people die in human caused car accidents every year and somewhere around an additional 30 million are injured. But that’s “just the world we live in.” Or that’s “your choice to take a risk when you choose to drive a car.” Or whatever.

If we set up the goalposts fairly, Waymo wouldn't be anywhere near receiving permissions for full autonomy until we had statistically significant evidence the latest build could reduce fatalities to human levels which are in the region of 1 per 100 million miles (a rate which includes all the people who aren't allowed on the road...). When they've only driven a few million miles, the fatal error rate - including potentially fatal collisions avoided by safety drivers - really should be zero.

We haven't got any evidence that fatal errors in AV technology approaches that level of rarity, will never have it for individual builds, and the best [limited] evidence we've got refuses to reject the null that despite being shielded from hard AI problems like left turns and supported by safety drivers and driven at low speeds, AVs are an order of magnitude more deathly than human-driven cars...

Some of us are noticing. I was discussing last year with my friends and family how clean your bikes helmets and cars windshields were compared to 20 years ago: no insect on it.

It's just that people carry on. They don't build their life. They don't make conscious choices, orientate their actions or try to think about the society they live it.

They just go through it, going from one small short term objective to another, most of the time motivated by a small pleasure or to avoid pain.

That is why people get fat, get stuck in traffic going to a job they don't like, going back to TV eating unhealthy food and indulging some kind of addiction.

Believe it or not this is also a big cause of couples staying together, marrying, making children. Not the grand idea of love. Inertia. Status quo.

That's the weirdest idea... that your property value is anyone's concern.

In my country if neighbours don't make your property unlivable by emitting smells or noises or being source of insect ifestation and obey the laws they can do whatever they want and nobody cares how it affects price you could get for your house or land if you decided to sell it.
Bic Camera in Japan at one point used it as their "point" system. Unfortunately you had to have one of their wallets, but essentially if you bought stuff with them and you had registered for the bitcoin rewards, they would give you some bitcoins. You could also transfer your own bitcoins into the wallet. You could then buy stuff at the store with it at some nominal rate. I thought about buying a computer with bitcoins because when you could still mine with CPUs, I heated my apartment mining bitcoins (then I lost interest ;-) ). Honestly, this is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping bitcoin would turn into. When Japan outlawed crypto currencies, the Bic Camera thing disappeared (or it's possible it disappeared earlier... I wasn't paying much attention).
First, there are no such prohibitions at the U.S. (i.e. federal) level. Some states have such laws.

Second, that is a poor example of regulations that "make it hard to start a new ISP and compete with the incumbents." Presumably, that's talking about upstart private competition. What you're saying is the opposite. Government entities or government-sanctioned monopolies (like the local power or water utility) don't in any sense "compete" with the private sector. They displace it. If you're a startup ISP, you can't hope to compete with say the local electric utility, which can make large capital investments in network service and recover from captive electricity rate payers.

As an aside, the idea of government entities "competing" is a weird new brand of rhetoric (you also see it with the "public option"). I'm not sure where it comes from, but it makes no sense. If you're a New Deal liberal and believe government would do something better than the private sector, then own that. Don't pretend like private companies can meaningfully compete with an entity that doesn't have to turn a profit to stay in business.
You measure discharge times repeatedly ensuring the capacitor is never fully charged. Presuming you know the impedance, temperature and charge voltage you can get very precise. It's a frequency counter after all.

Distance control is sort of weak which is why these are no good against vibration.

Another way is to use contact resistance with very accurate bridge temperature corrected voltmeter. More expensive. Essentially a potentiometer. Dimensionality is less important, but contact still is. To do that you need a high-ish impedance wiper you can slide over.
