I have a few 2 stroke bikes. Neither smoke while running, but the race engine can ocassionally burp a bit with rapid throttle changes. The stock 1970s engine does not even smoke on startup. I usually replace the auto-oilers with premix for reliability. If an oil-injection system fails, signifigant engine wear occurs.

In recent times I've been using mitmproxy ( https://mitmproxy.org/ ) for almost everything I used to do with charles / fiddler back in 2011.

I use this in conjunction with hostapd to run a wifi network off of the back of a raspberry pi bridged to the main router, which lets me decrypt HTTPS traffic transparently when I need to do some serious app debugging. Of course there's still some setup required on the device to trust custom CA but I find it to be easier to configure than Charles.
Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini are focused on race track performance. Bugatti is optimized for top speed and prestige, which makes them hogs on the corners due to the heavyass train engine that powers it.

This has not been my experience. In my case the staff is eager to stay on because they think they will gather skills. Yes you do lose them a year or two later to attrition because they land better jobs with their improved skills - but you get a year or two of fairly decent work out of them. I consider that a fair trade in terms of time - one week of my time to get one / two year of good work from a team of 8-10 people.
Yeah, but the latter one is called "influence", not "manipulate". I think "dark pattern" is used because it's shorter and more evocative.
Unlike Intel, AMD doesn't restrict the use of ECC RAM to a specific range of CPU since Ryzen. As long as you have an AMD motherboard that supports ECC RAM the CPU will take it.

You could technically make a cheap home server with a low-end Ryzen at home that uses ECC RAM if you get a motherboard that can take it.
It is an interesting topic.

I never worked in a brick and mortar store but I wonder if they purposely only place 1 or 2 items onto a shelf to create a false sense of scarcity. Meanwhile they have a whole pallet of them in the back. As a customer you would never know but if it came down to taking legal action, it would probably be pretty hard to prove without a doubt this was done on purpose.

Scarcity or feeling like you're going to miss out on something (especially a deal) is a really powerful trigger. I generally ignore most advertising but man when you see that there's only 2 left of something you want on an online site, I would be lying if I said it didn't affect me. Luckily this tactic is less potent now for a number of things because so many online stores sell the same items.
> I wanted to stay in touch as they changed roles

Sure, I might want that with a few coworkers, but not with my brother, aunt, friend's boyfriend or mother, tenant who rents my house, the shop who delivers butane, etc. Essentially 95% of my contacts are not relevant to a specific network, and dumping them indiscriminately seems not just bad form, but time wasting for me and them as well.

> Are you sure you don't have business contacts who are also in your email address book?

Yes, but they are a small subset of both circles.
I'm fully aware of doggerland, but so what? Given all of Africa and Eurasia, doggerland was a tiny benighted patch of lowland in a cold remote corner. I'm sure some people called it home, but I don't see any compelling reason to put a lost civilization on it 100k years ago.

There are plenty of very fertile, habitable areas in the same region that would have been just as attractive. So settlements? Sure. But surely a civilization is more than just a settlement?
> I don't usually see those referred to as "bikes".

‘Bike’ is short for bicycle. Motorcycles are also bicycles so they’re also bikes.

Similarly, my city library was spending much more collecting fines than the fines brought in, so they got rid of them.
To be honest, I haven't checked the content of the onion link so I don't know what their position is (or if they even communicate it), I will assume that you're describing their it accurately.

> they believe that there should be no use tax on public transport and that people who don't use it should still be responsible for financing it

I don't know for Manchester specifically but any public transport I'm familiar with is payed in huge part with tax money, so people who don't use public transports are already paying for it. But not the 100%, instead it's balanced with the use tax. So, is that the contention point, that it should be paid only by tax money? I don't understand what benefits that would bring. With this system, people using public transports the most (thus get the most value) would pay the less (if averaged per trip), how do you balance such a system?

Concerning their action, what's the idea behind sharing their exploit other than simplifying the work of free-rider? That it is too expensive to design a use-tax system that works, thus make the 100% government funded solution more attractive?
You're lying to make it seem more desirable; is there a difference between "20% more effective" and "20 people are looking at this"?
It's still up to the culture how they treat different ways of honoring it.

As an example I've seen personally: someone learning German to use it is going to be treated very similarly to someone wearing a dirndl for fun.
Maybe no explicit rules, but seems to run against ethics nonetheless.
As the other reply said – it's not, since no information regarding the actual listing is false.

So technically, it's not. But I agree with you that it should be labeled as such.

It's just one of the factors that impact one choice of CPU. Maybe not even among top 3 buying criteria.

I very rarely max out my CPU, but I hate it when my PC runs hot. So I buy Intel.

a standard Porsche 911 is not really a racecar. it can be really fun to drive on a track and it will get good lap times, but no one would race this car in a serious competition. this type of car will mainly be driven on the street and in amateur races.

now there are certain racing series like FIA GT3 where manufacturers are required to make a certain number of street-legal vehicles to qualify that car for the competition. a Porsche 911 GT3 RS is an example of this type of car. make a couple small modifications and your street-legal car is a GT3 racecar. homologated cars like this tend to push the limits of what's tolerable to drive on the street; they're not really setup to be comfortable.

Anodized Blue Machining Components
Many years ago, I reviewed the code at Booking.com that implemented this (in the version thar existed at the time, there's many more variants of it today) and it had a clear enough definition and was roughly what you'd expect it to be if you tried to design/implement it faithfully but without crazy out-there amounts of work: "number of detected-as-not-a-bot page views for this hotel (page) within the last X minutes" where X was, if I recall correctly, "a few" as in single digit. It was done by consuming a near-real time steam of logs, such that the X minutes above wouldn't be massively biased by the processing delay. I'm certain this was reimplemented at least once since because that wouldn't scale any more to their volume today.

Also, this functionality has received significant amount of scrutiny from some regulators, so last I looked, there was a mouse over that gave the actual definition.

That being said, in no way am I trying to convince anyone that it's not a "dark pattern" or that you have to think it's a good idea on any way. Just looking to preempt some comment that claims Booking.com is actively lying about this. They weren't ~5-6 years ago when I read the implementation and I don't they could've started doing that systematically since then due to regulatory attention.

I've been trying to cancel my New York Times crosswords subscription for days. You cannot do it on the account management page, instead they force you to talk with their support.

Their recommendation is to use the chat support but whenever I try it says: "All of our advocates are currently occupied. Please try again soon or call us now."
I also tried to do it in email, of course no response for 2 days now.
I'm not from the US so I don't want to call them on the phone...

Unbelievable that such a big name as NYT does this with their customers, this is disgusting and I can't believe this is not against the law.
Considering buying a passively cooled mini PC case and a mobo with a CPU/integrated graphics, sodimm memory, and lots of USB 3.0 ports.

It’s a beautiful term, like doublespeak. For some people, it’s hard to define manipulative, because it must carefully exclude all the things that we ourselves do that is manipulative.

Like imagine all those people working for the S&P 500 companies. Amazon, Apple, Disney, Home Depot, AT&T, whatever. Things they do? Neither manipulative no dark pattern.

Automatically transitioning from a free trial to a subscription in the App Store? Bright pattern! Essentially unmoderated reviews on products and mysterious badges? Phone locking? Even Disney Channel runs ads, they’re just called Movie Surfers and it’s only cross promotion in the world’s largest media business.

Dark patterns, that’s for things that make money but are not S&P 500. People will debate if something Google does is dark or bright but booking.com? I mean fuck them right? Nobody is defending some business that isn’t growing their pension or hiring their kid, but we’re talking about it not because it offends our morals but because it makes a bunch of money.

Then there’s just day to day stuff that we do. For some people, it can’t be manipulative or a dark pattern if we personally do it. For example, generalizing about people of a different ethnicity than us. Or considering an argument won so long as the last word spoken agrees with us. “That’s not manipulative,” you’ll say. Fucking exactly! We can’t see how things that we ourselves sometimes do as manipulative, and litigating that on an Internet forum is fucking stupid so fuck me.

Many things are manipulative. Commerce and relationships could fall apart if we attached that moral quandary of taking advantage of people via a difference or misrepresentation of knowledge, and it’s easy to say that’s okay so long as it’s not you who’s the victim. It’s a bipartisan evil, really, and it can be found everywhere. Maybe that means manipulative is meaningless. So here we are: dark pattern, not manipulative.
System calls seems like the very definition of what should be documented for users. Particularly if you want someone to write compilers for your operating system.
GMail seems to have opened a vector to amplify dark patterns by placing action buttons on messages. My least favorite is the LinkedIn accept invitation button, which I've clicked now several times by accident because I've spent years using GMail without it taking actions like opening GitHub PRs and accepting LinkedIn invites.

I can't find a way to disable this feature. Does anybody know how?

Interesting; things are a bit different in the US. I bought my first car at 18. It was small, a Honda Civic Si, but had 198bhp. That wasn’t a slow car by any means, but wasn’t considered especially fast either.
So keeping an old broken watch your grandfather gave you because you have sentiments attached to it is also religious ?
I think you're mixing up sentiment and respect to something that use to have value to you with religion.
Problem is reuse of existing ticket. I guess Ticket has 2 parts, some token (which you buy when you are online) and some time part (for validity), app signs this token, when you are using with some private key.

So basically, as you can sign many times same token with different time value, there is no solution for offline generate and offline use scenario.
At first, this seems like a typical attack article, attempting to use one opinion to discredit all of a person's positions, including the "card carrying member" cliche. But...

"A few days later Robeson explained to his [11 year old] son that “sometimes great injustices may be inflicted on the minority when the majority is in the pursuit of a great and just cause.” Robeson was talking about the murder of a poet friend in one of Stalin's purges, but the generalization is horrific.

Ouch.

The first example is nice because you don't have to change all of the numbers around every time you add/remove an entry from the list. But I don't like having to put the ".Ordered" before every ordered list, and in Markdown I think it will automatically make the numbering sequential if the source isn't anyways.
Some credit card companies will handle this kind of thing for you. Just tell them you've tried to cancel your subscription and explain the situation.
At least that one can be ignored. I hate even more how flight companies increase the price for the flight you've pre-selected if you are actively comparing options for several flights with the same origin/destination for the same dates (only to recover the original price several hours later if you don't buy it right then).

i think the current zen2 processors would tie intel on games now if optimization efforts equalized, which they may since the cpus are so popular and the delta is very very small.

Thanks for adding sources. This is the first time I’ve heard about physician owned hospitals and I found this study useful:

https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/22856850/4558297...

TLDR; Previous research found that speciality physician owned hospitals (POHs) are treating less Medicare patients that are also healthier and focusing on more profitable patients while still receiving whatever benefits being a Medicare provider gets them. This lead to a blanket restrictions on all POHs in ACA. The above paper compared both specialty and non specialty POHs, which is what ACA actually targets, and found no significant differences between them and non POHs in terms of types of patients, cost of care and outcomes. This suggests that the policy has been too broad and is in need of a revision.
That first part isn't right. Doom was entirely CPU-bound software rendering, and 3d rendering cards didn't exist yet. You couldn't upgrade a 386 or 486 PC to play Doom better, short of replacing the entire motherboard with a new CPU platform.

What you're saying was fairly true by the time of QuakeGL and Quake 2 around 1997, but not Doom in 1993.
can we expand this?

- phone displays the generated ticket to the ticket scanner in the bus.
- the scanner connects to the backend to verify the ticket.

this way the phone can remain offline after registration, and only need to get online to send money for your account.

i see no way for possible fraud as in fact all the ticket is doing in that case is to verify your identity to the server.

now how can we do the same thing but without revealing your identity, but just verifying that you paid?

What about ecommerce sites where they pop up a little notification where it's like "Cathy from Ohio just bought ..." and then it links you to the item.

Or even worse, you have XYZ in your cart and then suddenly as you browse you get all of these notifications that the world is buying that same item so you better checkout soon before you miss out.

You see this a lot on Shopify stores. Here's one app for it: https://apps.shopify.com/mps-sales-notification

I never used it but I wonder how many of those are fake notifications in general.
Yeah, seems like you should be able to use the headless mode + web ui to capture, then export for analysis.
Thanks to the price drop on Zen+ due to the Zen 2 release, I recently built a Ryzen 5 2600 system as my new gaming rig. My old gaming machine had a i5-7400, and in pretty much every game the CPU bottleneck has disappeared, especially newer titles. Even older single-core-heavy games like CSGO have greatly improved with the new CPU. Basically every game in my collection can now run at 1440p60 (my monitor's native res) instead of being limited to 1080p60. Switching from a GeForce 1060 to a RX 580 allowed me to ramp up the quality at that resolution as well (in most games).

Further, now that Zen+ support in Linux and OpenBSD has improved, it is a stable enough platform for those OSes. My new rig is doing double duty as my main workstation now thanks to that support along with switching to an AMD GPU.

I honestly don't think Intel and Nvidia have a place in my home and office anymore. My media server is an ancient Dell PowerEdge T310 and it's still going strong, but it is limited on drive capacity and has issues transcoding more than one 1080p+ stream at a time, so I believe I'll be retiring it soon in favor of a Zen based custom build.

It is hard to answer whether or not this will be helpful, because it is unclear what it does. Does it automate setting up recurring billing? Creating new customer records? Or is it just web widgets that we can wire up to processes we would still need to write.

I think you're thinking of Luxemburg, rather than a Nordic country. Apparently some politicians are considering it in Denmark as well though.
Well everything about the install is different; so it can't help in a sane comparison! and the per/core difference isn't that big so that could be some of it - but even then the $ cost difference is huge.
A couple of personal anecdotes:

When I took a VC internship in the Philippines during the summer, one of the big pop stars was an American Filipino. We had a convo at the bar he owned—turns out he was a SoCal boy like me, and got tired of going to school at Devry, so he moved to the motherland and got famous.

When I visited Norway for the first time, I saw a girl whose presence really floored me. As she was leaving the club, I followed her out. Turns out she was a pop star as well, and liked me for my American-ness.

I think with the right presence, it’s not as hard as one might think if you’re from an OECD country.

The company will hire an lawyer specialized in immigration law. H1B visa seems appropriate. The US company will file a visa petition and among a lot of other paperwork have to prove they haven't found a US resident with the same qualification for the position, e.g. by pointing to job ads they ran and counting number of applications. There is limit of number of visas granted per country, I think the total is 60.000 these days. The short answer is it's complex, expensive and waiting period is years.
