The Oculus Quest is much better imo
Not necessarily, you could have a gate at the very end that has to open up to let the signal through. There are inhibitory neurons throughout the nervous system, for example. It's also known that there is inhibitory circuitry that paralyses you while you are sleeping, so that you don't move while dreaming (see sleep paralysis for a common failure mode of this system). I have no ideas if motor signals do actually leave the brain when you are not moving though, it seems like an odd "design".
author here.. the revenue for both sites (since I partnered) was much more than I anticipated, but my take home for DudeRanch.com actually fell around my estimation.. (if that helps)
That doesn't mean it doesn't work fine as the base layer. I run Alpine on bare metal... actually, I really like Alpine as the thing that hosts KVM and/or Docker, too.
Scala and rust both compile to JS too I think.

What spam filters do these trigger? I have never seen any evidence of open tracking resulting in spam flags.
No. Like I said, I voted Remain and regret the decision to leave and think the burden will be borne heavily by the little man.
That's true, but sort of side stepping the issue. Why is it that the country's medical system was willing to feed addiction-level quantities of abusable chemicals into some communities and not others?

In any case, there are large quantities of illegal drugs feeding the "opioid" crisis as well, though. Fentanyl didn't happen in a vacuum, it was pushed at people having trouble getting oxycodone. And yet we don't hear talk on FOX about the horrors of the appalachian cartels bringing this garbage across the border.
Snapchat - It’s a camera app, and it just makes sense to have the functionality in FB. Sorry, don’t care.

I think it's more nuanced than that. To me, the question is "what games do I want to play in VR, and would they pull me away from games I want to play which don't lend themselves to VR?"

I have yet to see a VR game I would pour a ton of time into. Right now I'm playing WoW, Zelda: Link's Awakening, and Mario Maker. Perhaps someday I'll be able to play a game like WoW in VR, but we're not there yet. Zelda and MM wouldn't play well in VR. So where's the "killer app" (ugh)? I imagine it will come, but I haven't seen it yet, which is why my headset is collecting dust.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for VR (I was an early adopter and even toyed around with a dev lot for a while). Problem currently is that the library of games I want to play just doesn't exist.
a higher chunk of cold email i get don’t bother explaining what the company actually does. please don’t do this.

when i do see an interesting company, i want to read more immediately. when a deck or something isn’t included, it kills that momentum. you don’t have to include everything, just give something.

i skip everything that has clicktracking on links. it usually means that it wasn’t a targeted email and was sent out by a mailing list.

edit: another thing people do is have a “VP of fundraising” or someone external send the email. this is also a bad look. it should be from a founder or the CEO.

> biology studies like this are unfortunately controversial to the general public these days.

...but this site is not catering to the general public but to self-proclaimed hackers, a species which used to pride itself on intellectual curiosity. I should know, being one of them and being as curious as I manage to find the time for. Knee-jerk flagging is definitely not something which goes together with this definition. This flagging response is akin to a politicised version of the 'Window$IsB0ll0cks/Leenucks-suckz' type of discourse found among juvenile 'script kiddies'.

>>There was a land price bubble because of black money. Now the bubble is slowly bursting.

High value transactions were already tracked AND you can't register a property anywhere in a city without a PAN card. So enough with this depicting investors as cheats.

There is no bubble because India is in the beginning of urbanization phases, and land rates are obviously high because the demand is way beyond the supply. So the prices being high is basically Econ 101.

Instead of framing arguments this way, try understanding how some people are able to anticipate and buy lands years in advance, while some people can't even maintain discipline to invests in SIPs.

Nice Blog Post! Good choice of choosing rsync over git. Just, make sure to backup the end host.
const apiCall = url => fetch(url);

const timeout = time => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => reject('Promise timed out'), time);
});
};

Promise.race([apiCall, timeout])
.then(response => {
// response from apiCall was successful
})
.catch(err => {
// handle the timeout
});

This code doesn't do anything, since neither 'apiCall', nor 'timeout' are promises themselves. It just resolves with (response === apiCall).

No 'background checks' by private investigators in Germany. Some employers ask for a police certificate of conduct. There's a law saying which kind of convictions are listed there (nothing below a certain amount of days) and how long (to allow re-socialization).

I always wonder about the places that pay for scrap light metals, open to the public.

If it were possible to swap out a ship with an “identical” replica instantaneously (I’m not sure what the benefit would be) I think most people on board would consider it to be the same ship. And, for that matter, it’s relatively common for ship owners to name their ships after the prior ship that held the same function, as if it was the same ship, even when it’s a totally different make/model!

The well has been poisoned. If most ads were politely advertising local businesses, nobody would object. But the essence of advertising is to seek attention, and the inevitable result of that is ads that are obnoxious and discourteous. Even if they are not outright dishonest or manipulative.

Businesses do not communicate between themselves using obnoxious language. Business letters are stereotypically formal. They reserve the brash language of advertising for their potential customers, and those subjected to it are within their rights to point out this hypocrisy.

This is actually one of the things that annoys me the most: If the things systemd replaced were set up like systemd is, then systemd never could have taken off. So we're closing off our ability to change our minds later, which feels really dangerous.

I value my time anywhere between $10/hour and $100/hour, depending on the context, and I would bet that the vast majority of Americans would do the same.

Working with support issues for at lest 20 years...

My take on this is that there are two types of non-technical users:

- stupid ones

- intelligent one

The intelligent ones know what they don't know. Or at least they understand what is their area of expertise. They focus on explanation of the problem and they do not make random conclusions.

The stupid ones do not know what they do not know and, of course, they think they are smart and know everything. It is so hard to work with them.

It is interesting that education level, nationality, race, etc. does not give any reasonable indication whether a non-technical users is intelligent or not.

I wonder why they aren't advertising mouse support. This seems like one of the most useful features to me. They didn't mention it on the keynote and I can't find it on their website anywhere.

It needs to last much longer than 4x. Otherwise why not chose the 4x cheaper shirts and have more options for color and style? Plus you can buy the cheaper shirts over time, so you'll be more up-to-date on trends.

Nevermind that cheap T-shirts can last a long time already.

There's just no value in spending more to make a shirt 'better'. The only reason to do it is as a status symbol.
You can sell your free software, RMS even encourages it. The reason a lot of the software is gratis is to lower the barrier to use and spread the software. This makes sense if you want to quickly spread an operating system composed of free software. Unfortunately that has become the default for most free and open source software, even for many proprietary software these days.

This is a really interesting point. From an economic perspective, I’ll say that if there are multiple entities, it dilutes the rarity of the original, and thus it is no longer the same. Destroying the original maintains the entity’s relationship to all external entities, preserving not only the original, but the original’s place in the system.
I think the "why were they reporting is at all" question has more validity than "they didn't do their research". Because, again, the research available supported their position.

As for why it was reported at all, a health issue of interest to many thousands of people would seem to be newsworthy.

Finally, there were articles published by media outlets that showed potential problems with these prescriptions [0][1] And those were just what I found in a minute or two of searching. All available evidence shows that media outlets used prevailing scientific opinions of the time, and still managed to raise appropriate questions when issue began to arise.

Sooooo, your entire analysis is based on legends circulating since the 90s about a weird man who was even told to be scared by plants?

For reference, Thomas Lord, creator of GNU arch (think about Git before Git), who worked for FSF for a long time said

One remarkable thing about the FSF at that time, when we worked out of dinky spare offices on the campus of MIT, was the degree of participation by women. In the tiny society that was then the FSF, women were more prominent than I had seen in Silicon Valley, or acadamia prior.

p.s.: In the closet-sized "office" Bushnell, McGrath, and I shared for a time we did have some spider plants as part of a running silly joke. They did not actually scare RMS away **OF COURSE** and he usually had helpful criticism and advice of our efforts, from my point of view.

Can you tell an inside joke when you see one?

As with many things there is quite a bit of nuance to the usage of registers, often differing by region. Opening conversation with strangers using an informal (but not crude) register is common in the US, and consequently the injection of formality can be done with hostile intention. If the hostility is not recognized by the other party the intention can be made clear by the juxtaposition of formality and crudeness. Consider a phrase like "Would you kindly fuck off?".

They’re iPhone-style gestures for the most part, except some of the Slide Over/Split View stuff requires a bit more work. The beta broke some of these too so if you were using that I’d try to use those gestures again and see if they do what you want.
The inhibitory circuits exist in the brain and would prevent the motor cortex from sending out signals to the spinal cord. This device is reading motoneuron signals from the wrist when you are making movements. It's not mind-reading, the title is misleading.

so the bad part about all this is for the ones that want to use the phone with multiple carriers for multiple lines. I have my main line as Verizon and my secondary line as T-Mobile. My Verizon line is tied to my digital sim, and as soon as you put the T-mobile physical sim into the phone it goes to the activation screen. Sucks for us that want to use the phone for multiple lines as they won't let you do so.

Server less seems very case specific. Either it works for your model or it doesn't. And if it doesn't then its a lost cause given the inflexible nature of the limitations. Its not tweak able in most cases

I also think people giving others flak for "abusing" the free tiers are missing the point. The free allocation is there to be used. Sure don't go create 5x fake accounts but to me structuring your app to stay within limits is a very reasonable proposition
