Same here, but on my girlfriend's side of the family. At any social gathering, the women in their 60's are glued to their phones the entire time. They play the "here, look at this" game with each other, or anyone that walks past.

Although this may be limited to my personal experience, I don't notice it with the men. Some of them still have flip phones.
As a nest cam owner, I would recommend taking a look at Wyze cams. They’re around $30usd on amazon and use SD cards for storage and playback. They have alerting/zones, night vision and voice capabilities. The ux for playback isn’t as polished as nest, but no subscription fees or third-party storage plus affordability make it compelling IMO.

I just cancelled the ~$11/mo, 10-day playback subscription for all but one of my nest cams.
I can not generalise at all. Chinese companies can be on both sides of the extreme.

But one thing is certain, there is much more natural selection involved with businesses. A factory producing low quality widgets will be evaluated incomparably more harshly by professional buyers than a customer facing brand selling them in the US.

There are bosses who learned to respect engineers, and there ones who didn't. The later keep loosing businesses, go from one master to another, until they hit the bottom, unless there is somebody who keeps bailing them, which is not rare.

I knew one dude who lost 3 businesses as an appointed director, but each time he failed, his well connected uncle was ready to refer him to then next "good friend."

In China, "the boss" is much more of a social/hereditary class than a job, much more than it is in USA. The majority of the economy is still kept by the people called "the first generation money," though they been slowly losing their dominance in the economy over decades. You can imagine, a lot of the first gen wealth were former party bosses themselves, or their relatives.

Out of that class of people, there are some good bosses who were taught by hard life experiences, and ones who weren't. I myself recommend people not to risk and try to find an employer whose boss is not coming from that social group.
Language is a low level task. You don’t think about decoding “purple” or associating it with a color that’s automatic. Similarly decoding letter shapes etc.

Even forming responses is very automatic. You yell “Stop” you don’t think what’s the best phrase to convey they are about to hit a car.

Though like breathing you can pay attention and do something else.

A real gem in there was the comment of "there is actually an open door policy at the FCs, which allows us to directly communicate with our managers if we have concerns or issues."

Think about that for a second. The fact that they feel that is notable to call out, saying they "actually" have that... implies that they believe it is normal to not have an open door policy, and not be allowed to talk to their managers about problems.

I have worked warehouse jobs at a couple points in my life, and it was always OK to talk to your manager. It wasn't a perk, it was just how things were.
If we use worst case for everything then we should treat all coal mining as setting literally every coal vein on fire and unextinguishable a la Centralia, PA.

To answer your question, standalone desktop that can spit out a Library-of-congress-approved archive format like xml, sqlite, rtf etc.

You could also take the NoteWiki idea which is a simple text control which auto-creates hyperlinks on camelCase words and saves each page as a separate file. Then you could have whatever existing sync solution the user uses (or syncthing) handle backups etc. Having a rich text editor where one can paste images and is saved as a per file format would be ideal for me personally but truthfully I'd like to hear more about what your desired use case is.
Alternatively there are languages, where this problem can't arise at all.

In Clojure for example: (= ...) just tests for (actual) equality, while (def ...) assigns a symbol to a value, or (swap! atom f) changes the value of an atom (reference type).
Well, outside of math, "paradox" is not a fundamental ontological category. What is a paradox now may not be so in a hundred years, and hindsight is always 20:20.

Paradoxes of this type are definitely paradoxes if they contradict something that appears to be common sense and a consensus position of some sort, irrespective of the level of rigor. The Monty Hall problem confuses even career statisticians, but that's not because the common but wrong answer is somehow based on sound statistical knowledge; it's simply because answer seems so intuitive and self-evident that we don't bother to "shut up and calculate".

It seems to me that to count as a paradox, a result has to be both contradictory—not just different—from what is expected; and, the result has to be especially surprising; in Bayesian terms, the expected outcome must have had a high prior probability.
If you're under age 50, don't fucking bother. Just buy S&P 500 and leave it there. Small caps are such bs as are most mutual fund and ETF offerings.

Don't take my word for it. Go over to portfolio visualizer and compare your allocation to a simple 1 fund S&P 500 at 100%, compare over 30 years and draw your own conclusions. I'm not recommending a 1 fund portfolio, btw, but that you do that as a basis for comparison.

As far as cash goes, have 3-6 months of expenses available not in a brokerage but in a bank account, checking, or actual cash.

Waiting to "scoop up a deal" is a shitty strategy.
We don't need to suggest alternatives here. The market is already supplying them.

Yes, long-term storage is expensive. But there are options: Overprovisioning, hydropower, thermal storage if you just need to heat up houses, thermal-electric storage if you need the electricity, biomass (plants store the energy).

Thermal and thermal-electric storage is still in its infancy, but if you show up with the need and the money, you could buy a plant to be installed in a year or two.
Despite the name, it isn't referring to Yoda's grammar form, it's just reversing things around "and" and "or". If you really have a problem telling that "x == y" is the same as "y == x" I suggest coming to a deeper, more complete understanding of the equality operator as a commutative operator where the order doesn't matter rather than thinking of it as "variable is? value", as so many students clearly pick up accidentally.

I've actually noticed one thing about Common Core is that they do try much harder than when I was a kid to not accidentally create that impression; my kid's homework is full of "4 + 3 = ___" followed immediately by "____ = 8 + 2". Still kind of glossing over "=" as a "simplify" operator, but it's still an improvement over when I was a kid when it was really easy to pick up the idea that the "=" operator was actually a function meaning "take the expression on the left and simplify it". (I mean, there's a sense where such students aren't even wrong; it is the rational conclusion from the evidence presented.)
> I'm somewhat surprised that a jazz scholar would overlook the possibility that the tropes used to promote black music in the early 20th century could be deeply derogatory

From the paragraph before the one you quoted, I think the author's claim there is that "jazz" wasn't (at that point) being used to refer particularly to black music, so it follows that it didn't do so derogatorily.

The Chinese government withdrew to the province of Taiwan at the end of the civil war.

The communists proclaimed a new republic, the People's Republic of China, over the whole of China and thereby decreed that the Republic of China has ceased to exist.

Following this logic Taiwan is simply under the control of "rebels".

That would have been 'fine' if the new regime had quickly 'finished off' the job but they didn't. With time this has become a tedious mental gymnastics, and also probably counter-productive for them...
Russian Airliner Lands in Corn Field
The idea was to prevent bootkits. In UEFI the last phase, the complete UEFI phase after DXE and all the parts that come before it, is to read the EFI boot options from NVRAM. If there are no configured bootloaders, EFI volumes are read from GPT disks (and el-torito extensions to iso9660 cd roms) and one of these is booted - one of:

/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
/EFI/BOOT/BOOTIA32.EFI
/EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI

for x86-64, x86 and AArch64 (64-bit ARM) respectively. These are if you like the default boot paths on EFI volumes.

On pre-UEFI IBM-compatible systems, the equivalent was to look for the master boot record on a disk (or equivalent on iso9660 el-torito extensions). The MBR should end with 0x55 0xAA in the first 512 bytes of the disk - if these bytes are set, the whole thing is loaded into RAM at 0x7c00 and executed - in real mode, full segmented addressing and the A20 line not set, meaning you have only 1MB of RAM to play with until you get set up. No verification was done for this at all.

In spite of the complexity of the process, it was possible to create a "bootkit" simply by overwriting that MBR sector of the disk with custom code. This way you could modify the operating system before it had a chance to load, invalidating any security guarantees it could possibly give.

The equivalent in UEFI terms is to ask for the EFI variables to change, or replace one of those specified files. This will enable you to take control before the system starts - there's plenty of articles on hooking ExitBootServices to modify the system.

With UEFI's Secure Boot function turned on, even if you can persuade the operating system to overwrite those binaries or drop a custom one, the UEFI firmware will check the digital signature (or hash) before executing the code. It's exactly the same defense as driver signing - unsigned code is not allowed to run.

This isn't a complete solution. As the author notes, parts of flash may be unsecured and drivers may provide the facility to write to it in an unrestricted fashion, allowing the chain of trust to be compromised earlier. It's also possible to attack physically. There are all kinds of issues with CPU security.

On x86 systems, Microsoft's own compatibility guidelines for PCs mandate the ability to change the platform owner key, KEK, DB and DBX keys. The parent comment on lockdown is a valid concern (on Microsoft's ARM platforms, no change is possible) but at least for PC hardware it is possible to load your own keys and render Windows unable to boot.
So your goal is discovery of music?

We used to have a great solution for this: disk jockeys. Some stations still do employ them as actual curators of music, not just a pleasing voice over the Clear Channel Top 40 feed.

Nah, the Green movement was there from the 60s and always against nuclear because of the weapons. Much of the fighting was over nuclear weapons testing, then later over nuclear waste disposal at sea. This came to a head with the French government's terrorist bombing of the Rainbow Warrior, causing the death of a photographer who was on board at the time.

> I'd say to be a paradox, it needs to be so unexpected that it's an apparent contradiction.

Thinking about the topic of paradoxes some more, I would say part of my objection is in the following.

You could distinguish between two sorts of paradoxes

1) where the phenomenon P itself is genuinely paradoxical

2) where the phenomenon P itself is not itself paradoxical, but where our knowledge of the world is such that our picture of P appears to be paradoxical.

In cases of 2), I object to saying that P is paradoxical. The reason for my objection is that doing so would be confusing the map for the territory. What is apparently paradoxical really has nothing to do with P itself. It is all a matter of a particular person's knowledge relating to P.

In those cases, P is in no way paradoxical, and it is misleading to call it paradoxical. It would be less misleading to say that some group of people have flawed knowledge relating to P such that there is an apparent contradiction in their knowledge.

In short, in cases of 2), P is not paradoxical, rather, certain people's beliefs about P contain illusory contradictions.

if the device is raddio (bluetooth) controlled, wouldnt it be more sane to reset through the bluetooth device? perhaps a unique serial number on the bulb (verifies access to the bulb), and/or a bulb generated string of random bits (on/off), so the user enters for say 10 cycles if the bulb is on or off (prevents replay attacks)? ok, you should close the window blinds.

or even simpler: just unscrew and rescrew the lightbulb to reset!

To the contrary, of all the cognitive capabilities that evolution has bestowed on us, I think language is clearly the highest.
Treating the cause's cause: use a programming language which makes a distinction between actions and values, so that an action-which-produces-a-boolean is not valid where a boolean is expected.

Treating the cause's cause's cause: design your own programming language to be a strongly typed functional or logic programming language that is a descendant of the ideas in XSLT, where the attitude was “the most common thing you do in programming is to map one data structure into another, so let’s build the whole language around making those mappings easy first.” There can now be no confusion.

Probably treating the cause's cause's cause's cause is something like “just use Excel for everything, why are you using these other languages?”
> Pretty much everyone who looks at it agrees that nuclear costs more than solar, wind and batteries and is a non-solution to climate change due to cost alone.

So far nuclear power has done a lot more to quell climate change than solar. The world leader for dealing-with-climate-change is France, on something like 80% nuclear. The situation might have changed in the last 5 or so years, but realistically nuclear has always been obviously workable because it has been demonstrated to work.

> If you look at support for nuclear in the US it's noticeably higher for Republicans, who also are distinctly less likely to be in line with reality on various related issues.

That'll be a contender for the worst argument you'll make today; profiling is a very bad way of reasoning when the alternative is arguing from actual evidence.

> I saw someone attack the very concept of "net present value" rather than accept the answers it gave for nuclear investment.

NPV does have weaknesses at assessing long-term infrastructure spending, it tends to favour short-term cash grabs and a hope that something else comes up in the medium-long term. It is a great tool for assessing two broadly similar options but it isn't the be-all and end-all.

> Sadly I have to assume that most of the people loudly supporting nuclear are actually part of the problem

This really underscores a vibe I'm reading in your post that I do not like. You don't seem to want the environmental problem to be solved, you want Republicans to feel bad and mend their ways (on a rather questionable assumption that they are more disconnected from reality than any other group). If you wanted the problem to be solved you'd probably find your way to something more like "Wow, we can get this solved even if they don't believe in climate change! What a great resolution that would be!".

It seems like they’re using an enterprise account that has a bunch of sub accounts attached to it. It probably brings all replies and subtweets into a single feed that any of the “ambassadors” can have added to their queue to reply to.

I've come to the conclusion that the point of the whole 'smart home' and 5G in every neighborhood is really just to improve surveillance of a greater percentage of the population for a bigger portion of the day by whomever. I don't see any other real practical advantage for consumers to networking any appliances. It's a lot more complexity for little to no gain.

I'm rarely waiting for my oven to heat up, and of the times I am, a smart oven wouldn't help.
Maybe, but I don't think the few data points we have (CDTV and CD32, that arcade system) are very reassuring.

I also think that the best Amiga games were better suited for computers, like point and click adventures or strategy games like Civilization. The arcade ports I can think of in particular are mostly of poor quality with some exceptions, so evidently it was hard to on-board people who could develop quality arcade ports for the system. The games that really pushed the system technically and that people tend to remember fondly were almost all released at least half a decade after 1985.
It's not necessarily all pro-nuclear people being right-wing, just a correlation - which very quickly turns into a polarising issue.
