The information conveyed as stress and pace, keeps you focused bit longer, but you loose focus anyway. It will be completely forgotten. That is why notes taking for me - keeps me listening instead of zoning out aaand learning from own notes later if faster then from someone elses material. Dunno why, but I think that act of writing itself helps me to learn.
I looked into the hosting domain by Microsoft, but for the non business version they require your domain registrar be godaddy and I'm just not into that. It's kind of a stupid thing they have, why can't they do a dns thing like anyone else, why do they require your domain registar be godaddy?
Apple bought the company that made sensors for it.
They might, except that I have turned down their recruiters in the last 8 years or so.
Maybe they can be independent contractors, what with the gig economy being no big problem and such.

Smartphone hardware is done. There's no significant gain in buying a new smartphone if you have bought one in last 3 years, absolutely nothing if the battery is replaced; there could be even diminished returns if you buy a new smartphone(unavailability of headphone jack, losing metal body, losing faster biometric authentication).

Improvement in camera could be enticing, but the platforms to which the photos, videos are shared would compress them anyways making them all nearly identical. Better frame rates is the only thing which makes a difference. Case in point : MKBHD made a blind test last year and low cost smartphone Mi Pocophone which scored pathetic camera performance in individual reviews came out top in the blind test.

So, the subscription services are the new lifeline for the hardware manufacturers; included free subscription should add some value to the new customers and if the SW services work; may be compensate for diminishing hardware sales.
It's a tautology. Open societies that handle their openness well are successful.
There are plenty of counterexamples; China is doing well despite not being open for immigration and repressing its minorities. Singapore is hardly open. Western countries did well in the 1950s to 1980s with minimal immigration.

Having learned Ada (or rather, taken a class that used Ada) back around 1990, at the time, it was a bloated monstrosity. It's just that over the past 30 years, C++ has bloated to such a size that it now dwarfs Ada (in my opinion).

Now, at the time, I didn't mind Ada (I think I was the only one to not mind it in class), but learning it just after K&R C/ANSI C (C was just recently standardized), it did appear to have quite a bit more overhead than I was used to.

Workers have no choice but to get W2 status to get health care insurance, retirement compensation, etc.

And they fix it by simply moving them as FT employees, because to the State of California that's the easiest thing they can do. Single-payer free healthcare for all - which is the right thing to do is too much for the State.

This is just how bad the State of California is being run.
Your post makes it sound like the gig economy is actually unworkable right now, so the right solution, at least in the short term while we don't have an answer to problem of how to make it workable, would be to make those 'jobs' actual jobs with real benefits.
I am very afraid of this. My wife has had a few surgeries in recent years. We've always verified, at every possible stage, until I've said goodbye in pre-op, that everything is in-network. But there's no way to know what might happen later.

I wonder if our attorney could prepare a contract that stipulates no out-of-network interaction without authorization. But who would we get to sign it?
I think it's you, and I don't mean that in a snarky way. Of course I'm happy if I make a post (here or on Twitter) that gets a the occasional huge response with lots of engagement, but mostly because it's brought attention to whatever issue it was that I cared about. I have a relatively small number of Twitter followers but I don't really care. The only thing that annoys me is that Twitter's algorithm does a bad job both at supplying posts from the people I most want to follow and at getting my posts to the people who want to follow me for whatever reason; when a post of mine blows up, it seems to be due to the number of people looking at the topic rather than because I can consistently expect it to reach most of my followers.

Thing is I'm just not a very competitive person, or a very social one. I have a small clique of quite close friendships and a larger pool of people I know and like but relate to in a pretty casual manner. Maybe my lack of competitive instinct is inherent, or maybe it has to do with having been 'extremely online' for ~30 years and just not caring as much. I'm far more preoccupied with understanding the dynamics of social media interactions than I with exploiting them (in conventional ways).

tl;dr I think people relate to social media in quite different ways depending on personality type.
Most Google contractors are already employees, just employees of some vendor or contracting firm instead of Google itself. I don't think the ABC test prohibits that kind of arrangement.
I think most of those contractors are full time employees, just not of google.

Generally they work for the staffing company as full time employees, which then places them at google
I'm curious: how much do you hear about MIT research in general?

Perhaps this will encourage tech companies to recognize access to health services as a basic human right.

I look forward to day when corporations support universal health care from purely selfish grounds: if government takes care of employee's health, companies won't have to deal with it, or worry whether driver crosses the threshold of working over 30 hours a week.
"Taking" != "Resettling". European countries are still "taking" asylum seekers, but they don't "resettle" them: the asylum seekers show up in the country and request asylum. It's not a good idea to only look at resettlement and extrapolate from that to "total number of refugees admitted".
Amusingly, Apple had to side-step exactly the same naming conundrum in 1989 when they released their new M68030-based models—the Macintosh II was followed by the IIx and the Macintosh SE was followed by the... SE/30.

Here's hoping for an iPhone SE/30. Sadly they missed the ideal time to release it, being that last January was the SE/30's 30th anniversary. That would have been cute. As they were both (for their time) small and powerful computers, it would have been perfect. I was almost expecting it as soon as they released the iPhone SE... and Apple isn't entirely immune to nostalgia, though it is rare.

An interesting bit of trivia: the SE/30 is the only Apple computer to ever to include a slash in its name. (Honorable mention does go to the Apple IIe which was occasionally stylised in type as //e, but that wasn't its actual name.)

This brings back so many vivid memories of me trying to write a hybrid mobile app a few years ago which had a metronome feature. I wrestled with a pure Javascript metronome clicker for so long, and eventually built that component using WebAudio which was much more accurate and reliable.

I did start writing a blog post about it but never finished it. This article is a much better and more in depth analysis of the problem anyhow.
You’d be surprised. Californians love their ability to Uber, if this gets rid of that (or severely curtails it), they would have no problem overriding the legislature at the ballot box.
I think people often point to the "Skunk Works" at Lockheed Martin that built the SR-71.
Kind of misleading title - it prevents companies from claiming that their employees are contractors in order to unfairly compete with companies that actually follow employment law.

They’re typically employees of the staffing company which hired them
Gig economy workers are neither contractors nor employees. They're something in-between. They are neither a square peg nor a round peg. They're a triangle. Forcing a triangular peg through either a round hole or a square hole is wrong.

We need a new, third type of classification.
Thanks for your concern, model plumber.

Edit: My story got flagged and taken off Hacker News.
This is the best headline I've seen for a while. It was such a welcome contrast to the usual sales pitch that I laughed hard for a good minute.
I actually never understood that case.

For Uber, drivers are not employed and treated as contractors.

For Google, chefs are employed by another company (food services), which has contracts with Google. And also treated as contractors.

I think these two types of contractors are different. Let's say if contractors are already employed and offered insurance and minimum wage, is it ok for them to work as contractors for other companies like Uber or Google?
Solid advice. I would add that under 3 years they don't need any screen time or any kind of tech - they just cannot get bored.

At our house the phones are off limits for them. Very limited screen time (1-2 videos or the same old David Attenborough movie 'till dinner is ready) and there is an agreement between us and the kids that they can start computer/phone usage when they learn to read and write.
That's exactly what I do with my apple watch. They do last 3 days with normal usage.
We have Confluence. Great for product people but terrible for engineers and data scientists. Then a data scientist in my team got frustrated and installed GitLab...

Being able to work in Markdown and git tripled the amount of documentation I wrote.

You don't realise how much friction Confluence adds until you try an alternative that is fully integrated into your normal dev workflow and tooling.
Drivers will simply split their time between Uber and lyft like they do already.

Unlikely, California is a "Sanctuary State" and essentially has no enforcement of state (or federal) laws governing "illegal" employment.

If anything, they consider it to be a good thing.
Your case seems to be a consequence of how healthcare works in America (insurance).

For those of us lucky enough to be in good health, the "Gig economy" as-described would be just fine.
There are also "Plato's unwritten doctrines" that supposedly "could not be explained in writing in a way that would be accessible to general readers, [so] their dissemination would lead to misunderstandings. Plato therefore supposedly limited himself to teaching the unwritten doctrines to his more advanced students in the Academy. The surviving evidence for the content of the unwritten doctrines is thought to derive from this oral teaching."

It's not cooling. A switching transistor in that application shouldn't make too much heat.

We don't know the voltage on the rail, so we can't say exactly what it is, but the likely candidates are an SOA violation because they're switching it absurdly slowly, or the gate drive is below a reasonable threshold.
Maybe! In the interim, burn rates of already unprofitable companies are going to increase drastically. Does it matter if you overturn the law if you’ve already ceased operations?
Duo was one of the last things keeping me from switching to Google-free AOSP, and I toyed with a similar idea while trying to reverse-engineer a free software replacement. Instead, I ended up writing a small tool that allows you to use any old HOTP authenticator with Duo. I use FreeOTP+ on my phone, but you could just as easily stick that HOTP secret in a script or onto a Yubikey. You might find it useful if you're working your way up to 100% Stallman status: https://github.com/evan-goode/duolibre.

By the way, I gotta say this project is pretty hilarious, and you're a true baller for trying to sell this to people.
I find is pretty silly to say smartphone hardware is done when Apple is still sporting a notch.
Apple should also make an slot for an external storage like SD card. This will allow the use to transfer or copy the date across multiple devices easily.
California already has among the most generous state-level medical benefits in the country. Here, it's hard to be in a situation in which one simultaneously can't afford insurance and doesn't qualify for Medicare or Medi-Cal (California Medicaid).

Singling out California for not taking the unprecedented step of rolling out single-payer alone--which is a difficult proposition to say the least in a country that guarantees freedom of movement--is bizarre.
The main reason that they surprising didn't talk about is cuts from the states. After state pulled out the support by imposing cuts in budgets over and over, the burden has gradually moved onto consumers. Here's some cost analysis:

Cost of tution/student/mo = 6hr * 5day * 4 weeks * $50/hr / 20 students = $300

Cost of facilities/student/mo = $600

Cost of room and board/student/mo = $600

So at minimum student will need to bear $18000/yr cost. If college is only receiving fraction of this then it will bankrupt.
That circuit appears to assume that AUDIO_PWR_EN signal will switch very infrequently.

If AUDIO_PWR_EN is a pin that is controlled by software, and, if you keep switching that pin such that the MOSFET is kept in the linear region due to the RC on the gate, that MOSFET will be toast very quickly.
What's your point, really? Other than telling us you got to 300 per hour. Please, ELI5
Jack Dorsey's $26bn company claims San Francisco owes it $1m
Don’t understand battery too narrowly here. It can be an artificial lake where you pump up the water from below, or a train full of stones that you pull up a hill.

Many countries like Israel have black water containers on top of every home to heat their water, so it stays there warm for the night.

Storing energy can be made in diverse and original ways, mostly adapted to the local constraints.
Crook's books on living in Chinese communism sound interesting, I managed to buy them both used on Abebooks. I've always wanted to read what day-to-day life was like in early Communist china. I've found a lot of older Chinese people I talk to don't like talking about it or change the subject pretty quickly, which I understand, people don't like talking about being poor.

The person I last talked to was a teacher in China who lived a decent middle class childhood in the 1960s and was forced to move to a rural area into poverty and made to work on a farm for a few years. Eating dinner communally with large groups of people. She often talks about her regret of not leaving to Taiwan like some of her family.

Now imagine these were Apple laptops that had their power circuitry randomly explode.

For those of you who want to read the bill: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.x....

The pertinent part of the bill:

2750.3. (a) (1) For purposes of the provisions of this code and the Unemployment Insurance Code, and for the wage orders of the Industrial Welfare Commission, a person providing labor or services for remuneration shall be considered an employee rather than an independent contractor unless the hiring entity demonstrates that all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(A) The person is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact.

(B) The person performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business.

(C) The person is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed.

Of course, there's a bunch of exceptions for various professions toward the end.
California voted against gay marriage AND legalization of marijuana. So it's not nearly as progressive as you think. It took a court case to bring gay marriage to California and a second attempt for pot.

> For those of us lucky enough to be in good health

It's a common refrain that only people with health problems need health care, but that's just not true. Risk has a price. That's why health care and life insurance for healthy people is not free. Good health just makes it easier to pretend that risk isn't there.

Tying health care to employment is a historical accident long overdue for change.

Probably about 50% of those I read are done in full, the rest skimmed. Usually not much reflection happens after reading most articles unless they seem rather poignant.

I recently started bookmarking things and reading them in full later, but honestly what gives me the biggest kick are the comments. I also really dig the ask and show sections.
I have found out I needed to cut coffee intake entirely, even in the morning.
I've commented elsewhere on the thread, but, this also has the potential to be destroyed by software. That AUDIO_PWR_EN appears to be a signal that can be controlled by software. If you switch it fast enough such that the MOSFET is kept mostly in the linear region (due to the RC on the gate), you can kill the MOSFET very quickly.
Uber ride share is actually profitable in California (and most of the USA), they are burning lots of cash on UberEats however.

If this law is applied fairly, it affects taxi and limo operators as well, so everyone will be in the same boat at least, fares will surge but they will still be in business.
You have no idea when that good luck will run out
Actually for India the real electric car has already arrived and it is already seeing widespread usage. It costs less than $2000 and goes around 80kms on a single charge. It looks like a narrower auto rickshaw, most of them are manufactured locally and can be see used widespread in tier-2 cities in north india.

Thank you!

It seems these data are mostly counted in dollars of damage or dollars of relief, which is a proxy for the severity.

Would it be correct to say there is still some question about whether dollars are a good measure of severity?

EDIT: As I am browsing the data, it's hard to disentangle actual weather events from things like lava, fires, unsound building decisions, and just the politics of money moving around.
I was responding to the claim that mass transit was "far worse" than Uber.

> I used to use Twitter. My country's political news and related commentary usually got me into a mental state of frustration and misanthropy.

For this same reason, I've separate accounts on Twitter. I'm not averse to political stuff but mixing it with things you like can make Twitter extremely toxic. From my primary account, I don't follow any Politician, Celebrity etc. I just follow developers and few other people who are doing what I'm interested in.
Well, they do. Usually you go to the genius bar and get the whole board replaced for $800+
If you approach it as a casual single-player game, it is certainly a wholesome free-to-play model. For everyone else, microtransaction tabs are 100% mandatory to progress without spending inordinate amounts of time managing scarce inventory space.

Since 2.4, many of the 3-month content updates (which are always either good content or at least good-faith mistakes) have introduced mechanics which effectively require more microtransaction purchases (see 2.4, 2.5/3.7, 3.1).

Sure, you can technically play through all the content without microtransactions, but have fun organizing the 159 different maps, 104 essences, 42 (ordinary) currencies, endless cards, and all your actual items with the four default 12x12 tabs. Even then, your best bet for listing items for sale without premium tabs is to use a 3rd-party tool to generate a forum thread.

Not to say that PoE isn't one of the better F2P models out there, but GGG shouldn't get away with pretending to be a small indie studio when they have >100 employees and sold a controlling share to Tencent for >100M NZ$. They have (rightfully earned) one of the best reputations among game developers, but their insistence on selling (what should be) standard game features as $15 microtransactions is absurd.

Looking through the store now, what I would consider to be "mandatory" for someone investing significant time into the game comes out to about $70. The free trial is wonderful though!
