NYC has some of the most annoying faregates ever conceived of. The "cages" have bizarre mechanics that makes pushing them annoying, and the "normal" turnstiles make it hard to push even a small suitcase through.

Tokyo has probably the best-designed faregates I have ever seen and I wish NYC would copy them.
> "flown appropriately" would imply restricting the drones to the kind of shot that is already provided in generous quantity by helicopters.

Actually, I'd argue differently. I'd imagine the greatest risk of injury from a drone would be it failing and falling from a significant height (i.e. similar shots as provided by helicopters). However, I'd envisage they could do a great job providing images/video from (say) 15-20 metres away - close enough to replace the video motorbikes and not present a great risk in the unlikely event of failure, but far enough to not interfere - and probably interfere less than the motorbikes currently do.

> Also, the low hanging fruit would not be getting rid of the very few TV motos, it would be reducing the high number of mostly redundant photojournalism motos.
Agree; but it can't be beyond the wit of man to outfit a drone to take decent quality stills?
Would you mind linking to where you originally made that comment? Sounds like it might be a relevant conversation I should read.

I feel like you're making two somewhat contradictory arguments. The first is that this is inconvenient in several specific situations. The second is that passwords aren't a problem because people should use password managers. But the specific situations you mention are exactly the situations I've encountered in the past where my password manager isn't available either (which you acknowledge).

I do agree though that these are real problems. One advantage of using short-lived random keys for the emails is they could be short enough to manually enter (shorter than a secure password). Obviously you'd need to implement rate-limiting on the login page to prevent people from brute-forcing outstanding logins.

Email discussion is great for that.. rather than being a "talk-loud" + "fast-thinker" win, it usually comes down to more thoughtful discussions/decisions.

But to your point, I personally just confront the person who keeps interrupting me:
- Hey, can you stop talking over me and let me finish my thought?
- Dude, you're wrong, and talking over people won't make your argument better.

That being said, I'm sometimes the one interrupting when people keep babbling on and on, and the manager (or meeting lead) doesn't do their job. I try to do it politely by redirecting discussion to the point or summarizing the decision, but sometimes I need to force it and be a bit rude. I don't like doing that, but when you see people starting to roll their eyes or look at their phone, someone needs to step in.

Having a clear agenda with a meeting lead also help to keep the discussion on point while giving a chance to everyone to express their thoughts. If there are bullies, the meeting lead can shut them down.

When the manager or meeting lead is the one being a jerk, then it's obviously tricky. Depending on the culture, you can either politely redirect discussion to the point, summarize the decisions... or just don't attend the meeting. If asked why, can be honest and say you keep being interrupted and might as well work on something else if they don't want to hear your thoughts.
Long time user and follower of Sia. It's always surprising to me that it's overlooked compared to filecoin (which is similar, but seems like $250m+ vaporware to date). I use it to have tertiary backups.

Weird caveat I found: the smallest chargeable size is actually pretty large.
It doesn't work that way. You have an extraordinary claim? You need extraordinary proof. Show me the evidence.

And not all attacks are ad hominem. Reputation matters. You can't always separate claims from those making them. If someone has clear biases/something to gain from the claim, it would be unwise to simply to take their statements on at face value.

That's my (what I consider) rational and logical counter.

Another aspect of this is the taboo of discussing salaries / compensation with your peers and coworkers. Sure, it might be a bit "low class" to be concerned with money like that, but you know what? We're all mostly working class, and it's in our interest to discuss wages.
They probably use enzymes to breakdown some cellulose into fructose which is sweeter tasting than glucose or convert glucose to fructose, so they could add less sugar.

My experience is closer to the "a few days" as well; they were faster than the one time I remember reporting something to Google Maps. YMMV and all that, but.
You asked, and I quote: "Why wouldn't they go after someone breaching their NDA?"

If this was a rhetorical assertion that there is no reason for Tesla not to sue, then you should admit that you took the position that I described, you should stop pretending that I put words in your mouth, and you should apologize to me for your feigned outrage.

If you were actually asking why Tesla wouldn't use every legal tool available to them, then you should thank me for providing you with a thoughtful answer, and then apologize for attacking me and my character.

I eagerly await your sincere apology.
Yes this whole thing is absolutely predicated on the concept of "if you lose access to your email you already have much bigger problems". But for me at least that's true.

The phone app would be more secure, but that's much higher onboarding friction than an email address, which everyone already has.
I tried Sia about 2 years ago. It worked "ok" for half a GB files, However, for 4-5 GB my upload got stuck while the help forum couldn't provide answers besides "wait for the next release".

There were also unclear issues back then. Are the files encrypted on my computer before being uploaded? are they sharded between many hosts? or are they stored in one host? How long will they be stored.

Most of these issues seem like they could be improved. Not an inherent faults of the technology or something. I like Sia's idea and tech in general; I'll give it a try again now.
> Not saying it’s clearly better than Google, because it isn’t, but for my usage it’s more than “good enough”

I’ve just started testing Apple Maps as Google Maps replacement, and the quality seems to be highly dependent on the location. Cities, densely populated areas seem fine, but I’m currently traveling somewhat rural polish areas and apple maps seems to have no distinction between solid country roads and unpaved path. If it shows up on a map, you can travel it seems to be its credo.
I don't think that point is saying "you have to be a persuasive public speaker and effectively do management’s job for them".

I really dislike speaking to groups of more than 2 or 3, and I want to stay as far away from any management-like duties as I can.

That said, I'm on a smallish dev team in a very large company, and I regularly find myself having to explain technical things about our products and components to people without a current technical background. If I can't clearly communicate, things can go badly to varying degrees.

The lightest video-capable satellite terminal that I, a mere civilian, know of weighs around 3kg. Even as a satellite equipment, it's relatively expensive to buy and operate. Its power requirements are also non-trivial, both because of the need for highly compressed video and the high-power radio transmission.

I think you can do the math from there.

People who ask questions tend not to be cut off as often as speakers who don't.

If you get the floor and are still sounding out an idea in front of a group, consider whether contributing is a valuable use of everyone's time. There are of course people who talk forever and interrupt everyone else to make it about them, and it's because they need personal development. It's on the senior-most person there to interrupt them and redirect the flow of the discussion.

However, if that person going on and on is the most senior person, then sitting there and listening and humouring them is your job.

I agree it's more akin to malware, but without knowing the implementation details of how the removal was actually done, to me it just feels like a bandaid monkeypatch. For example, it seems like the removal of the Zoom local server was hardcoded into the first silent patch. How can Apple tell between the Zoom local server and a local server I am using for development? I just get the feeling that if any other vendor was silently disrupting applications I (knowingly) installed, there would be outrage

Trump's new asylum rule puts migrants at risk
Maybe there are other factors, though? For example, I often get things from Amazon that are shipped in padded envelopes. The envelope then gets stuffed into my mailbox and bent. If it were a box, the mail carrier wouldn't try to put it in my mailbox because it wouldn't fit. So perhaps the packaging type selected statistically prevents broken RAM modules, even though it's too big if its purpose is to merely contain the RAM on a truck.
I guess you're right. I was thinking they only do it for password reset, but you don't actually have to reset your password to use the link option.

I don't understand why we're all of a sudden so concerned with exclusivity. Many high-profile games are platform exclusives, HBO is exclusive, Spotify has artist-exclusive recordings. The world still spins 'round.

There exists a sliding scale between "100% an agnostic platform" and "100% creates and hosts only exclusive content", both of which have existed for decades, and now people are worried that Apple is funding podcasts?
At least in the US to be called chocolate it has to be cocoa butter. Chocolate is an FDA regulated term. Hershey learned this lesson the hard way a few years back as they tried to change over to vegetable oil, IIRC. [1] Apparently in the UK it must be at least 20% cocoa solids.

I wish the later could be possible. I have no idea how podcast-ads work but lately i noticed some podcasts giving me seemingly location-dependent ads. (about something in a nearby major city)

either everyone is getting advertisements for a very dallas targeted ad, or are the podcast companies making several versions of the podcast and serving different ones to different people? sounds like a lot of extra work to me, but I suppose its not hard to automate stitching a few ads into an audio file.

DoTA 2 has been doing this for years now with toxic players. I don't recall reading anything about how effective it ended up being, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I recently started playing DoTA again after stopping for about 2 years and I have run into a handful of toxic players, but it doesn't seem to be as frequent or as bad as it used to be. For example, when I stopped playing two years ago it was basically a 50/50 chance you would be in a game where someone would say really terrible things about Brazilian or Chinese players for the entire match.

2FA could be via email, but is often with SMS / app on phone. There is a backup mechanism here with printed one-time-use numbers. This is not friction-less nor optimal in my view, but there is some backup.

The proposed login mechanism has no backup. Email address hacked, expired (new job, graduated from uni) or forgot password? You're out of luck.
I'm not sure it would be either. JS has a good JIT that Java code can significantly benefit from (much more than, say, C) -- WASM doesn't, so compiling to JS could actually be faster; JS also has a GC and WASM doesn't, which means that the image must contain a GC, making it larger, not smaller. Either way, it's speculation, but I don't think it's obvious that compiling Java bytecode to WASM is preferable to compiling it to JS, but maybe the TeaVM maintainers can share their experience.

You are correct that the failure rate for contracts is somewhere around 9%, and you are also correct that you need over 10 contracts to get 11 9's of redundancy, however this doesn't translate to needing 10x redundancy on the Sia network to get high reliability.

Data is uploaded to Sia (per-default, it's configurable through the API) in a 10-of-30 scheme using Reed-Solomon coding, which means that each piece of data is held by 30 hosts, and out of those 30 hosts any 10 of them are sufficient to recover the original data. This has a total overhead of 3x, and the algorithms behind it are in my opinion super fascinating.

If you assume each host independently has 91% uptime, you get this amount of downtime as a result: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sum+of+(30+choose+x)+*...

In reality, the software reliability is a bigger factor in downtime than the host's reliability.
Hah, back in the late 70's at the MIT AI/LCS/EE departments, we just called that normal conversation. To the loudmouths the spoils. ;-)

> Weird caveat I found: the smallest chargeable size is actually pretty large.

This and the cost to form contracts is is large enough that it doesn't make economical sense until you are storing > $1gb.

That said, they seem to slowly be working through a number of these concerns. They very recently released seed based backups, one of the biggest issues I had last time I looked.
I'm inclined to like this. It makes sense for users who don't have a password manager.

But, OP should add an option for users to add a password to their accounts, which could be used instead. It need not be a part of the standard user registration flow, just an option available in settings.

The professional peloton is an incredibly noisy RF environment. Every rider is carrying a two-way radio and a telemetry transponder, every car in the caravan has multiple radio systems, the TV motos are transmitting back to relay trucks with satellite uplinks. Much of a grand tour takes place on mountain roads replete with canyons, cuttings and tunnels.

If you're flying a drone in proximity to the peloton, it's not a question of if you'll lose your control signal link, but how often. I don't know how anyone could operate a drone in that environment with any degree of confidence, even if it's capable of GPS position hold. What happens if you lose your control link just as your battery is running flat? What happens if your chase vehicle gets stuck in traffic and your drone is stuck loitering on the other side of a tunnel? How can a large, heavy drone autonomously find a safe landing place on a mountain stage that's littered with thousands of spectators? A drone big enough to carry the requisite broadcast equipment is undoubtedly heavy enough to kill a bystander.

Broadcasters and race organisers have been using helicopters for decades and know how to manage them safely. Drones simply present too many unknowns. To the best of my knowledge, no helicopter has ever crashed while covering a cycling race. There have been a few incidents where the downdraft from a helicopter caused riders to crash, but none of them were serious.

Perhaps the hope was to modify it into something worse. Not every weapon conceived and built is of value on the battle field.

I also don't think the current iteration of the theory makes any sense for other reasons (especially the notion of creating a disease). But the idea of investing in germ and virus based biological warfare seems a very reasonable conspiracy theory, so I wonder to what extent the current Lyme disease is a modification of a more realistic one.

Kinda like the whole gay frogs rant some conspiracy theorist went on about that has become slightly famous. If you dig into the actual story, there were chemicals causing the frogs to undergo sex change. Turning gay seems a simplified version of this (especially to those not well informed on LGBT specifics). As such, while the actual conspiracy theory was wrong in the same way 'the earth is a sphere' is wrong, the knowledge wasn't that far off the mark.
