Surely that's only true for a vanishingly small subset of fields of interest?

e.g. I want to read books on construction site drainage. Is the dude in Borders going to have any tiny clue about that?
I don't think there's a problem with honestly offering a promotional feature. Personal responsibility still counts. If you want to pay to get your face out there, you deserve the right.
I'm not familiar with it, what's bad about the license assuming you are a consumer and not a business?
I also forgot to mention the other big issue with sub GHz: certification. Each country has their own frequency, from 800-900 MHz. Unless you buy a pre-certified package, you’re looking at expenses for certs probably higher that cost cost of development.
Software people tend to assume that the rest of the world is far more organized than it actually is. In particular, they seem to think that construction projects tend to be well-oiled machines with perfectly followed specs written in advance.
If there's Remote DMA (RDMA) capable hardware (Infiniband or 10-gigabit Ethernet pci card) and a hypervisor that supports PCI-passthrough, then guest VMs can do RDMA. Not especially applicable for cloud providers trying to offer generic VPS' but possibly useful on the backend for managed services where the per-customer VM is not exposed to the customer (Eg AWS Redshift).
OkCupid charges more for your membership the older you are. By the time you're in your 30s the rate is outright highway robbery.
Right. I'm going to challenge you to:

- prevent or reverse any of my transactions

- confiscate my bitcoin, or even find out how much I have

You can't, and never will.

Some cryptocurrencies are scams. But if you're saying all cryptocurrencies are scams, you're simply saying math and economics are a scam.

I opened up an old piano recently and saw a patent number inside. Looked it up expecting some cool piano technology and found out it was a 100 year old patent about putting the owners name on a bit of metal and then screwing that to the stringboard rather than the traditional method of casting in on the stringboard. The whole patent essentially comes down to using bolts to attach 2 bits of metal rather than using one.
Tor masks a user's IP address, while Warp does not.

Warp endpoints will most likely not face the same kind of "discrimination". However, Warp does not provide any anonymity, which is the main reason people use Tor.
Whatever it was, it has sorted itself out and I see it properly again.

The error message I saw isn't because of ad blockers or whatever, as what they displayed isn't the kind of output professional sites normally present to humans.

But it's history now, so we're all good. Hopefully they can fix their error handler some day.
At what point do we as a society, regulate the abuses promulgated by libertarianism, techno-utopianism, Reaganism and the pathologies enabled by unfettered captialism? The same social pathologies that lead to the extreme income inequality in the United States and the unchecked externalities of carbon emissions.

Or not.
Yeap. It's a completely worthless article. The more important numbers are:

0) cost-of-living adjusted income (for daily living expenses)

1) housing to yearly income ratio (housing affordability)

Absolute yearly salary is primarily useful data for non-local inelastic demand and luxury items that tend to not track local costs-of-living, i.e., a Tesla (sans tax credits) or a Nest thermostat.

Agreed. Certain banks are scams. Certain coins are scams.

The technical layer is entirely separated from the business layer.
Yes, I think it should be considered a virtue. It's a very useful skill that I used daily.

It shouldn't be beaten into kids ("learn your timestables!!" is not an effective teaching method), but if using an abacus or similar helps people calculate faster, it is likely a good thing.
I have a lot of thoughts on this, so excuse the long post (maybe I'll write a blog post on it at some point):

First, there's a clear (and artificial) skewing of supply-demand curves. There are probably like 30 (active) guys for every 1 (active) girl on these apps (looking at you, Tinder). This creates an imbalance where women are incredibly selective while men end up being incredibly non-selective (e.g. swipe right on everything). Clearly, this needs to be addressed -- this "marketplace" is a sham.

Second of all, a lot of women (but also men) use dating apps to increase their social following (be it Snapchat or Instagram). This probably only pertains to people in their 20s or 30s, but it's a huge problem when trying to seriously find someone to date.

Third -- the botpocalypse. About 70% of my matches on Tinder this past year (I actually quit all dating apps around 4 months ago) have been bots. Not sure if this is a tractable problem, but after a while, it just gets old. At this point, matching with bots is a meme on /r/Tinder, for example.

Fourth, there needs to be an in-app incentive to meet in real life. I feel that my generation (millennials) are kind of broken. I blow people's minds when I tell them that I work remotely at a coffee shop and started making friends with people there, hanging out, etc. In other words, we absolutely suck at real-life social interaction. So we need these apps to "nudge" in the right direction. A potential solution would be a cross between a meetup and a date.

Fifth, I think hookup culture really is starting to show its dark side. Tinder was very popular as a hookup app a few years ago, but nowadays it's more or less abandoned. People actually want deep and long-lasting connections. None of the apps out there really attempt to solve this. It's a tough problem to solve because building a relationship (like building a friendship) takes time.

Anyway, these are some issues I have with dating apps off the top of my head. I will say that it also probably doesn't help that I live in LA, which is a pretty superficial city to begin with. But the women are gorgeous, so I probably shouldn't complain :)
A bit presumptuous to assume the OP is a gay male, no?

Exactly. This has an added bonus of making it a permanent backdoor. You drill once and put black sticker on it, nobody will notice. Is there even a sensor in the lock to log being manually opened?

I worked at costco during college. The receipt checking stops a significant amount of shrinkage. At these warehouse stores it's surprisingly easy to walk out the door with large items you wouldn't be able to take at places like Best Buy. We caught people stealing washing machines, tvs, 4-packs of tires, etc. It helps keep costs down to have a quick verification check.

I dont have to ask anything, the interview process normally speaks for itself. If they have the emotional intelligence to have a mature discussion about their company, product, and after questions to you, they sell themselves as a potential employer, it's a good sign. If it's mostly inane gotcha questions followed by an email to do 3 hours of leetcode monkey tricks, I've seen all I need to see about the how they view the quality of leadership.
And buy out failing, smaller competitors, plus lobby various local governments for a break/handout.

The word "cult" is just a way for mainstream religions to look down on non-mainstream religions. "Cult" is definitionally aberrant because mainstream religions have defined it for their own convenience. Certainly cults have high potential for abuse, but then again, we've seen quite a bit of that in mainstream churches too.

It's also a bit silly to cite the harms done by cults when the "high Christian Orthodoxy" espoused the crusades, the inquisition, pogroms--the "high Christian Orthodoxy" is responsible for far more death and suffering than any of the small cults that spun off of it. And you can't distance yourself from that and claim the Nicene Creed which predates all of it. The Nicene Creed which is your supposed proof that you're the "real Christians" was written at the Council of Nicea, which was convened by Constantine I in 325, just 8 years after he had his soldiers slaughter Donatists[1], a group of Christians who opposed Constantine's attempts to unify the various churches. The document you claim shows the unity of your religion was practically written in the blood of Christians who refused to unify.

I'll happily admit that the vast majority of modern Christians are kind, decent people, on two conditions: 1. That you extend the same courtesy to members of other religions (including so-called "cults"), and 2. That you refrain from proselytizing on HN.

As a percentage of the current market size, the R&D for batteries and renewables is probably an order of magnitude greater than R&D in fossil fuels.

From a public investment perspective, the trend is that fossil fuel R&D is shrinking, and renewables investment is increasing or steady. Renewables public investment was first higher than fossil fuels in 1998, and has been higher than fossil fuel public investment 9 out of the last 10 years. [1]

Not that I disagree about wanting more of the abstraction taught, but absolutely, 100% yes. Accurate, rapid mental math is a core life skill, and the lack of it causes people real problems.
I successfully used Okcupid and I have been dating someone local. I am confident my current relationship is not a scam.

The fake accounts were rather obvious, extremely attractive women that would message, or send a like without having looked at profile. Many of the fake accounts were obviously not suitable matches. For example, the profile (if filled out) is seeking someone in country X, but they've contacted my in country Y.

I also noted some accounts would initiate contact and then account would disappear. I am not sure, but I suspect the host website is taking some efforts to combat problems.

I'm delighted the FTC is taking action, but I think the people that fall for these scams will always fall for the scams. It's hard to protect the vulnerable.

Lastly, if anyone is looking at online dating. Do your research, there is plenty of available information that explain the majority of the scams and detail what to look out for.
Warp is still useful for secure web browsing on public Wi-Fi networks that aren't protected with a password.

It's not a good option for you, since you already have a VPN, but you can recommend the free version of Warp to people who want to be more secure but don't want to pay for a VPN subscription.

Warp+ is less defensible.
Shame about the AirPods. I love mine and can wear them running, but if they don’t fit your ears that’s sort of it since they don’t make different sizes or anything. You have 15 days to return them no questions asked.

"and they you allowed to answer with anything except "yes" or "no"?"

None of the Celtic languages have an equivalent of yes and no. Just make a habit of speaking, say, Irish or Welsh at work. (To an English speaker, that sounds weird at first, but you get used to it quickly.)
Also, for normal people, hardcore amateur CP doesn't really come across as sex. It's mainly about punishment, humiliation and touture. So in that sense, I suspect that it's easier to live with.

That is true, but if you're the type of person that likes to help others it's much easier to become a teacher than doctor.

Also, if you are a doctor and your primary motivation is helping people, wouldn't you want to help many people with simple problems, than few people with highly complex problems (which most likely have a higher risk of failure)? There is already a shortage of doctors doing the easy stuff.

I just don't see the incentive for doing difficult procedures other than with money.
It's a fatal flaw in the monthly subscription-based model, to be sure, but I don't think that many customers are subscribed for months on end - either they find someone, or give up (on that particular website/app) because "it isn't working". Thus, a feature-driven per-use pricing scheme which Tinder uses for "Super Likes". It sells them a la carte even if you don't have a subscription. (They also have a traditional scription model.)
TikTok/ByteDance has offices in both the Bay Area and Los Angeles here in the US. I know a former colleague who is not Chinese who works there. Point is there are certainly many non-Chinese citizens who work there that are complicit in enforcing such rules.
LoRa is a great technology, with longer range and 1/10 of battery usage comparing to its major competitor, NB-IoT. NB-IoT is backed up mobile operators, as far as I know, in China they even outlawed LoRa to pave the way for NB-IoT because the latter can bring revenue for big guns.

I will be happy to see LoRA got more attention and used more widely. You can build your own LoRA network across large area with zero monthly fee once it is up and running, and you pay monthly fee to NB-IoT just like your cellphone plan, which one you prefer? Not to mention LoRA is technically better.
I do occasionally, but it is awkward and attracts odd looks and/or eyerolls. What I really want is subvocalized commands via implant like in Orson Scott Card's Speaker for the Dead, but I don't see that happening for at least a decade with the current state of voice recognition tech.
The more I view things, the more I feel marriage probably is the best metaphor for any nontrivial undertaking that is worth a lifelong investment, for a group of people.

* Persistence

* Endurance

* Mutual respect

Pretty much the same thing for any highly functioning team!

I found his units to be significantly more clarifying than yours. There's nothing wrong with having units of time (or distance) in both the numerator and the denominator, depending on the context. For instance, the Hubble constant is commonly expressed in km/s/Mpc, and astronomers purposefully don't cancel the units of distance.

In this case, there are two distinct timescales involved: the scale on which the energy is used (an hour or day) and on which it's generated (a second). It's ok to keep track of those separately.
I love the concept a ton, as of right now it's not executing to what I was hoping for. Landing on a bunch of Five ways to X your Y.

Yeah i agree after trying Bose's smart glasses I felt like why wouldn't i use this/they are better then just regular eye or sunglasses. Regular glasses you can not listen to music through, take phone calls, hear pertinent information about your surroundings, etc.

I feel smart glasses will be bigger then Apple Watch/smart watches and almost as big as smart phones. Most people wear eye or sunglasses already.

It's not very likely to happen with water either. 6kg of water is 6 liters, which is probably more than the amount of blood in their body. I have to question the measurements on the 6kg fluctuations, going from 60kg to 54kg in a week is serious.
Is there a way to prevent an app from leaking data put like this, e.g, some kind of sandbox disk where files written with one app cannot be accessed by another app (until the user allows it - like photo sharing etc)?
China has 1/2 of per the capita emissions as most western countries, even with outsourced western manufacturing factored in. The dollar you're spending on a cheap Chinese item is going to some middle class drop shipper with 10,000 USD income who is going to save 45% of it in the bank.

>the only countries that care about the environment enough to pass laws preventing its destruction are in the West.

Environmentalism at the cost of economic growth is one of the few things Chinese public made CPC concede on. See the rapid improvement in air quality in major urban centres and the variety of green initiatives China is actually meeting prematurely. Westerners dog whistles that they care about the environment, they might genuinely believe it, but that's certainly not reflected en-mass in individual actions or massive infrastructure responses.

>People who care about the environment should spend their money accordingly.

Yet people who are good for the environment are the ones who spend less, aka people with less money, or if we're bringing in culture, the propensity to save. China savings rate is among the highest in the world, it's substantially higher than western countries. Compared to a western vendor who has a higher profit margin and lower saving rate = more consumption -> worse for the environment. The only thing keeping consumption down in the west is wage and purchase power stagnation due to increased inequity. And that's the hard pill, the best way to reduce consumption in absence of behavior change is to make people broke or redistribute wealth in a manner that reduces consumption.
There used to be a loophole where you could change your age and gender to be an 18 year old woman, pay the lowest (pretty much token) rate, and then switch back to your actual age and, if necessary, gender. Now I think it looks at your history of age and gender changes, finds the combo with the highest rate, and charges that group's amount.
In the USA, at least in my experience. If I have a cold I still had to make an appointment which would be 2 to 3 days later. I got around this by joining a doctor in a clinic and they'd let me see any doctor if my doctor wasn't avaiable but i'd have to sit in the waiting room for 1 - 2 hrs.

In Japan I have had mixed experiences:

Good:

* It's relatively cheap. Apprently the government sets prices. The government offers medical insurence. It costs based on previous year's income. i've paid as little as $15 a month and as high as $300. I don't know the range. It only covers 70%. My employeers have provided insurance that covered more.

* Fast. There are no appointments or a least I've never made one. Just walk in, usually no more than a 20 minute wait. Did have one long wait 1998.

* Some pretty good tech. Had back problems once. Got an MRI immediately (Japan has/had ?x more MRI machines than USA). Last week had an unusual pain in neck, went in, got immediate endoscope pictures inside neck.

Note that in Japan, unlike the USA, hospitals are a place you can just walk in for a cold. (you can also go to small clinics and private doctors). The advantage of going to a hospital is they have more specialists and equipmnent. The disadvantage is sometimes longer waits and probably not as close. I only bring that up as a contrast to USA where a hospital is someplace you don't go unless it's an emergency or surgery or something else really serious.

Bad:

* Bar to be a doctor much lower. Have had several very quack doctor expeiences in Japan. Have not yet had a quack doctor experience in USA

* Unclean. Have been to several facilities that seemed unclean to me. Machines that looked like people had coughed on them for years and had never been cleaned. Not all places but enough the experience has stuck out. No idea what that's about but just surprised since my experience in the USA was that medical services are or at least appear spotless.

Unknown:

* Nurses require no training (or so I was told by a nurse). You just go apply for job like a fast food job. Is that better (lower cost) or worse (less training).
I did talk to a recruiter hiring for Juul, the one time they called me. Their only selling point was how fast the company was growing. This was around the time Altria bought them.
Find it weird? How about this: Hand writing is still the primary writing tool being taught at school. And not just in Japan.

I wont deny that handwriting is useful, but having it taught as the primary writing skill, the first and main one, while the keyboard, the device that will probably be used 95% of the time people have to write something in their lives, is still seen as a niche skill is shocking to me.
Could we update our open source licenses to have a clause that the software can not be licensed to (or used by employees of a company) on a patent troll register. (With a clear definitions of what gets a company on a patent troll register)

This type of company would soon not even be able to keep a website online.
I have a soroban and it's amazing how fast one can compute without electronics and I am no expert at it. On top of that, it exposes a certain way of working with numbers that is very helpful for mental computations.

On top of everything you get a nice tactile feeling with it. Will it replace my desk calculator, probably not, but it could.
It seems they are just motivating the smart people to leave the country.
Thanks for the explanation. Still gross but not as bad as RIAA checks being performed somehow.

Cell processors are interesting because they do quite a bit of binning on a user facing SPI slave. You shift a thousand or so bit payload into it from a support/binrg up processor that tells it which pieces are disabled, how the PLLs are configured, etc.

Hacked PS3s could reenable the binned off 8th SPE for instance.
