> If the quick hack is well documented, written in a very encapsulated and removable way, who cares about removing it later.

That's fine in a system with a small number of quick hacks. In reality, the number of quick hacks grows over time and you end up with a brittle system that has a lot of unanticipated behavior that only a few people understand how to work with. You will eventually have quick hacks that exist to fix bugs in the other quick hacks.

> Being the cutthroat megacorp that it is, Disney picked option #1 because it's more profitable.

The comment you're responding to, and the original piece, both clearly state that Disney picked option #1 and option #2. What did you think "more dates kept getting blocked out" meant?

This database is inaccurate, my machine was repaired early this year prior to the recall (irritatingly at my cost as the batteries were swollen). It is still listed as requiring replacement batteries via this search...
That's not true. Landfills are quite effective at keeping stuff out of the environment. We have the technology.
I'm sorry. I wasn't being serious.

I do shoot film exclusively though. At the lab I buy my film and get it developed, they do sell homemade film. I've seen some fantastic results from the B&W film community members make.

I'm also in the middle of building a dark room in my basement.

FYI I use either Android pay or debit to buy my film
Will be interesting to see how low birth rates will impact theme park attendance going forward. I feel like young adults are already struggling with student debt and difficulty affording a home. Throw in a kid or two and makes me wonder how an average family could afford a 3 or 4 night vacation to Disneyland with flights and hotel and tickets for everyone. That’s at least $4k for 4 nights.
Multiple folks in this thread have asked how the TSA is going to deal with this. The answer is: it won't. These laptops were banned as a "dangerous good" by the FAA. This is separate from the TSA's list of items banned as a security threat.

> The Transportation Security Administration also has rules on "prohibited items" that pose a security threat. Though they sometimes overlap, the TSA security rules are separate from the FAA dangerous goods safety rules discussed here.

Akiko wasn't that fast. Should have been direct chunky support, not a conversion chip. Oh, and faster CPU with plenty of Fast RAM.

Or perhaps a blitter capable of rasterizing triangles with affine texture mapping. A bit like PS1. Low silicon requirements as just addition is required. Nothing complicated like multiplication or divides needed. Of course the price is loss of perspective correctness.

A trick that always worked well for me was to plug my ears. I could discern voices much better that way. Otherwise it just sounded like a speaker being overdriven.
Does the serial number change if the battery has been serviced? Or are these devices banned from flying forever.

After I got over being spoiled by ARMs I fell for Padauk's stuff which I now think are awesome and makes almost everything that leaves the building a candidate for a micro. It breaks the old rules where you had to have a certain level of complexity in the product to justify using a processor. Their stuff are economical replacements for discrete logic and a no brainer for the ubiquitous ADC->serial use cases.

My hardware guy came on really heavy against the Padauk stuff because it was put to me that the temperature range wasn't wide enough particularly at the high end where supposedly we had to operate at 125C. I actually think attinys made it in the design instead of the Padauks just because of personal preference and an unwillingness to share the project rather than unavailability in automotive temp range.

So the tubes of Padauks and a pair of ICEs I brought in so it would be very easy to play with sit unused and I am now at a different place that places more emphasis on what all of the engineers think rather than just whoever happened to draw the long straw for the project.
I’ve tried to abstract my “blog” into a personal aggregator that provides a central place to see (and caches) the activity I want to share with other people.

I’m working on a pretty major overhaul for the next version and I’m considering making it into a SaaS product since there seems to be no equivalent options that don’t require you self hosting someone’s open source product (with the associated maintenance that this will incur) that may or may not continue being updated to support new services (which was what motivates my work on the next version)
These are super cool, but it makes me wonder how much longer before we get to an era where video evidence is no-longer admissible in court.

Yeah, you can see occasional artifacts and glitches with current deepfakes, but surely the software will only get better.
Mine was repaired by apple prior to the recall, and is still listed as requiring replacement via the serial number search too...
You forgot to include "with pre-built exploit tooling built around what he explicitly said he spent a lot of time on."

Project Zero has done some great things and improved a lot of security, but this feels like a spiteful slap at a competitor. It's not Google is really vulnerable to the same kind of thing, they've long since shown that the security of older versions of their only real public OS is not their concern.
I wonder if this was a simple manufacturing mistake or an intentional design gamble which failed. The Note 7 battery failures and Macbook Pro 'flexgate' being examples of the latter.
Why does Apple limit their iOS simulator? Do you need iOS simulator for development of iOS apps?
Well for one, most speaker drivers aren't designed to cover the full range of 20hz-20khz, something headphone drivers are explicitly designed to do (historically there have been a couple of multi-driver headphones, but they were horrible without exception). Even a high quality midrange driver for a speaker will probably only have a good response between 300hz-5000hz and past the upper frequency limit you will get major treble spikes and rolloff due to the cone entering its breakup mode resonances, so it will sound predictably awful. Now there are fullrange speaker drivers, but these do not generally have flat response characteristics as they tend to roll off early on both ends of the spectrum, and fullrange drivers with multiple cones (aka "whizzer" cones) tend to have a breakup spike in the upper mids at around 3-5khz. I am a little less sure about the physics of this part, but I believe that even if you had a theoretically optimum speaker driver, you would run into Q-factor related issues because speaker drivers are meant to be listened to in the far field rather than being placed right up against your head, so if you had the driver right next to your head, your eardrums would see a huge FR spike in the midrange, due to a resonance/standing wave forming in the cavity between your ear and the surface of the driver. Headphone drivers, since they are designed to be placed up against the ear, are usually damped, mechanically or electrically, specifically to avoid this. The K1000 in particular is damped electrically (there's a small notch filter (?) on a tiny pcb that feeds the driver) since its sensitivity is already very low with the little amount of mechanical damping it has. One common issue between something like a K1000 and a headphone made with open air speaker drivers (no baffle or box behind the driver) is that they both experience rear wave phase cancellation at very low frequencies, which causes a 12db/octave rolloff below the primary resonance of the driver. This is due to the negative wave from behind the driver wrapping around to the front of the driver and decreasing the amplitude of the positive wave.

TLDR speaker drivers, compared to purpose-built headphone drivers, are highly sub-optimal due to limited FR range, breakup modes, and Q factor / improper damping for the application. Directivity and near-field effects (both of which would further distort FR) would probably also be an issue with speaker drivers but I don't know of anyone really trying to build a high quality headphone from speaker drivers so I can't comment on that.
Eh, I dunno. Sunlight (UV radiation, mostly) kills a great amount of simple life. Admittedly, complex life (where even bacteria are "complex life", having things like cell walls and the ability to survive dehydration without DNA degradation) has mostly adapted to protect itself against the UVA and UVB found in regular sunlight.

But UVC (i.e. "sunlight from areas around holes in the ozone layer") is still pretty effective: http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2018/06/uv-light-...

I disagree about the pain being known up front - you are aware of an obligation and that obligations units in dollars, but how those dollars translate into future missed opportunities is unknown... additionally you always have some risk due to currency fluctuations if you're operating an international business, if you're primarily operating in AUD and payroll is in AUD but the loan repayment is in USD then a profitable quarter may end up being much less able to pay down your debt.

I agree that money is much more comprehensible, but there isn't so as stark a difference in knownability as it might initially appear.
You can't rule out the horror stories of foreign travelers being harassed and abused at US border checkpoints.

I'm inclined to think it's had a chilling effect when tourists are making their holiday choices. It's pretty easy to skip the USA and find another destination.

>You have to fund that somehow so ... prices go up! Real estate isn't infinite, but Disney World in Florida is expanding now more than ever. If they ever have to build a new set of parks elsewhere, real estate prices are going to be ridiculous, and you have to buy it somehow so ... prices go up!

Why raise prices on consumers when you can fund a new park with the $12.6 billion in profit they earned in 2018?

Edit: I'm not the most fiscally-savvy person, so it would be cool if someone explained why I might be wrong rather than just hitting the downvote button and walking away.
Being respectable means finding a kernel of truth (that isn't necessarily widely known) and working diligently to clear the way for it to come out.

Hard work and devotion to a cause is, in itself, respectable. Having the courage to stick with something even when it was unpopular is respectable.

Heck even Terry A. Davis, late creator of TempleOS, gets some grudging respect on here.
The bad news is, going forward this will discourage companies from disclosing issues sooner rather than later. It may also, ever so slightly, discourage innovation if such changes might create more risk than reward.

Only on LSD have I seen faces change that seamlessly. There were a couple of spots that I noticed the transition, but that was like the 3rd viewing. I hope I never piss off someone with these abilities to make me say/do things I'd never imagine. The damage that can be done is mind boggling when used for that purpose.
Wait...are you studying for the FE without getting an engineering degree? Props to you. One thing to keep in mind though is that there is a morning and afternoon session that are both 4 hours iirc. The first session is always a general session which covers the absolute basics of Engineering math, circuits, thermodynamics, statics, Dynamics, chemistry, and physics. It really is very easy if you remember the classes. Some of the circuits problems can be done in your head and the statics problems might have the resultant force being part of a 3-4-5 right triangle (again, it shouldn't take much thought). The purpose of this is to ensure you learned the absolute bare minimum in these classes. One reason the general questions have to be easy is that depending on your course schedule, it might have been two years since you took a course (Ex: you might have taken only one thermo class as an electrical engineer during your sophomore year). The afternoon test is either also general or specialized to a discipline (Ex: chemical engineer) and are much more difficult in comparison. I barely studied for the FE and felt I knocked it out of the park (especially the morning session). I spent months of all my free time studying for the PE and failed the first time...it is difficult. Keep in mind that both of the tests have a lot of breadth, but little depth. Going into an actual Engineering curriculum will teach you a whole lot more. MIT used to (might still) have a circuits Edx class online for free which covers the first out of 3 circuit classes a EE will take...that should help a little with the scale.

Software is weird as the hardware, languages, and frameworks are always changing and the optimal work done on any project seems to be just enough to keep the customers from going to a new product and not necessarily the best or even a good product in many cases. There are cost constraints in Engineering as well (good, fast, & cheap...pick 2), but it still feels pretty different to me than software engineering where something breaks all the time in any non mainstream software I've ever used.
> panicked attempts to set ourselves ever-further above our roots.

I honestly don't know what you're talking about here. What's an example of such an attempt that you think was/is misguided?
Interesting -- so you would say curiosity triggered the fall of man.

Most see the rejection of contemporary Jerusalem (Matt 23:38, Luke 19:43,44) and the house of the scribes and Pharisees, which produced no fruit, was about to be left desolate. In AD 70 Titus and the Romans would demolish Jerusalem and the Temple. The cursing of the fig tree, I infer, is the foreshadowing of their doom. The fig tree is used again in Matt 24:32 as an indicator of the soon return of the Son of Man.

In any case, saying Jesus hates fig trees, is missing the point.
I mean I can also scream into a pillow with similar results.

Great, then they should start pushing OS security patches out to devices instead of handing them to manufacturers and carriers and washing their hands of them.

There's nothing wrong with something being longer if the content warrants it. Complex topics require lengthy exposition. But that requires the writer to write, to arrange and connect things into a coherent narrative. That's not what happened here. This is a thin article, padded out to novella length with repetition and irrelevancy. Again, it's not bad that the article exists. It just needed a better editor.

As a previously frequent tourist to the US, I assure you politics is an important consideration for me and my family. Many people of my acquaintance have also taken politics into account when making vacation plans.

I’m not aware of any studies on this, so anecdote is all I have. But for me, it’s “obvious” that politics is a factor rather than “obvious” that tourists only think of trends and exchange rates.

In fact, it’s now common (at least in my circle) for people to plan vacations to avoid changing planes in the USA, because of the delays in customs and the risks of missing connections or being denied entry to the US (required in the USA even if you never leave the transfer area).
Here is somebody's chart of inventions plotted over time:

http://wiki.c2.com/?BigInventionsTimeline

In short, there seem to be spikes or groupings roughly every 50 years or so. The most recent spike is relatively light in comparison. However, the impact of inventions is perhaps subjective and debatable. The Internet has had a huge impact on society, changing the way we communicate almost completely, from personal socializing to news.
You think that selling an unregistered security is fraud?
Haha not a chance. For the price Universal Studios is incredibly small, less well kept, and there’s only really 1-2 interesting rides. The whole park takes like 10 minutes to walk end to end. You can walk around Disney land all day and still not hit it all.
> While there have been repeated incidents of phones, laptops and other devices overheating and catching fire in passenger compartments of planes, it hasn’t ever caused a fire to spread. The flames can be extinguished with water and flight attendants are trained how to address it.

I was under the impression that water was the wrong thing to put on a Li-Ion battery fire. Is that right?
By the demiurge?
Theres some simple economics in this. If visitor numbers are down 3%, and say prices are up 5% then total profit is also up, variable costs are down, and parks are less crowded so everyone has a better time.
And what makes you state this about the west? Citation or more detailed reason would be nice.

One denies there is a problem, the other says there's a problem and the only solution is to fully fund their (enormously expensive) pet projects and in other ways give them large amounts of power.

I'd rather have politicians saying "there's no such thing as climate change" with people fighting back against them then have politicians saying "climate change is real, and you can help fight it by giving up plastic straws!" sapping the willingness of people to do anything more - something that might actually be of use.
I wonder if rehabilitation is always possible. The Italian region of Südtirol, in the alps, is completely hydro powered with large exports. And there are basically no fish. What happens if they undam it all today? What if they undam it in 500 years? Does it just take a decade or two for a pretty complete rehab?
> I truly wonder what's the next set of values to go through this process.

One still cannot do a funny movie/work of art about the Holocaust, as far as I can tell that’s one of the most taboo things to work with as an artist. Benigni’s movie was not a 100% comedy and maybe that’s why it eventually worked the way it did, but as far as I know Jerry Lewis’s movie was much more on the comedy side of things.

And if the King of Comedy himself cannot pull this off I think nobody else can. I also find it interesting that nobody else seems to be even trying nowadays, it has become too much of a taboo.

Those businesses are succeeding exactly because of the lack of banking/identification access in Africa. They use phones as the axis of identity, which people do have (somewhat) ubiquitous access to. However that doesn't make it easy to access the US stock market, which is why this guy's concept would have been useful to them.
Yes; it's very cheap.

It produces some pretty nasty byproducts, so a tough sell in California, but affordability is a total non-issue.

Calling someone an idiot because they express an idiotic viewpoint isn't "shock", it's calling a spade a spade.

As somewhat of a hyper-lefty progressive (and someone whose wife is an immigrant), I don't actually have any issue with someone merely supporting some level of immigration control, and I don't think I'm particularly weird about that; it's not an inherently unreasonable position to want to keep bad people out of the country. People start getting upset when the rhetoric gets borderline racist, or when they refuse to talk about anything else except some shortsighted, dogwhistling rhetoric that they read off of Breitbart the previous morning.
The terminology is used to paint a picture, not to introduce a new branch of science, it's not meant to be objective. It just poses a question, how can regular person tell the difference between someone who's lost their marbles and someone who is actually thinking more clearly than them by rejecting established norms.

How does the nuclear waste being dangerous for between 200 and 15.7 million years[1] factor into the ROI?

Otherwise, sign me up for atom smashing/fusing.

Does that factor in to your thinking?
