This is 100% the opposite of what I actually want.

I want a thicker laptop, and even more important: greater key travel.
I've had a high heart rate a number of times while stationary, which sets off an alert on the Apple Watch that you may have an issue.

Each time, was watching a tight rugby match and getting a little over excited. Nice to know it works as advertised, though.

This is not new. Telemedicine benefits are very standard across most decent employer-covered healthcare plans. My understanding is this is not much more than a whitelabeled product built on top on an existing telemedicine service.
What’s the ergonomics for a thin keyboard?

Well, when you are slowly but steadily descending into an Orwellian nightmare, it's natural for "every little thing" to be a sign.
And the elephant in the room: Cassandra.
Until very recently, LTO-8 tapes were not available for purchase due to ongoing patent litigation. LTO-8 drives were readily available, but you couldn't buy the tapes to make the most of those drives.

LTO-8 drives can also use blank LTO-7 media to get density halfway between LTO-7 and LTO-8; this is referred to as LTO-7 Type M, or Type M-8. This applies to the raw storage capacity, not just the compressed capacity (which is conventionally referred to with the assumption of a 2.5x compression ratio, even though not all real-world data is compressible).
This comment right here is potentially your kryptonite. Technically, if this is the case, then Jim owns the development IP personally and would then be “contributing” it to the company as a member/investor. The business org itself is valueless.

In my opinion, Jim is lazy, but not dumb. It doesn’t sound like you guys have been very good at formalizing things under the company and Jim knows that and has positioned himself quietly as the one with all the power.

Setting my analysis of Jim’s character aside, I think your best bet is to not demand a thing, just keep your already agreed to equity you have documentation on and walk away. The reason being you don’t want to give Jim the chance for a new document to muddy things up more in case of later litigation.

He may restructure or do some sneaky thing to make himself feel as though he’s bested you, but the likelihood whatever is made is going to make a huge amount of money is slim (especially with what I see as severely amateur behavior here coupled with a lacking in ethics). He’ll have a hell of a time raising any funding either way if investors do their due diligence.

If it does succeed sometime in the future, send the whole file to a decent attorney and let them do their jobs then.

In the meantime, just understand the tactics he’s employed and do think defensively, preserving what you do have now. Then store it in case you need it later. After that, move on with your life and forget about it.

I’d probably remove Jim from your life though. Every comment I’ve read from you about him has had the between the lines description that his behavior has never been in your best interest. He doesn’t care about you at all.

William Blake’s design innovations
Pretty sure they've specifically said that's not the case. There's always been rumors that Apple are going to switch the Mac to ARM and make it only run iOS, but this is going the other way if anything, with iPadOS splitting off from iOS.
That's actually far easier to do (if there's demand) than $15K EVs. For an auto manufacturer, very little cost: replace the gas tank with a CNG cylinder (cylinder can be manufactured cheaply if economies of scale are in place), use the piping able to withstand the pressure, use slightly different injectors. Done.
I don't think that follows. A civil court would not typically rule that a defendant who was found liable by a preponderance of evidence should be expelled from their academic programs. A criminal court less so. These systems are not equipped to handle the specific remedies that an academic disciplinary program should be designed around providing.

Zooming out a bit, I don't think the civil/criminal courts failure to be suitable for handling an academic complaint constitutes a reinforcement of rape culture or anything else. That's akin to saying "by not doing something about [some injustice] you're complicit" which is not necessarily true.

That looks pretty cool, but I definitely have a soft spot for the jank that was in the scene 20 years ago. Back when it was more like pro wrestling
Another crucial importance is bytes per square centimetre. When archiving something, there's no point in archiving hundreds of storage controllers with it especially if you need to store them in a safe (which you probably should). MicroSD cards may beat tape but they are a lot slower and harder to label.
That must be a substantial sacrifice.
There isn't a general case rule you can apply here to determine burden of proof.

If the target domain is incredibly complex with major fundamental unknowns, then even robust results should not be viewed as 100% definitive.

What does it mean for the Librem 5 to be "IP-Native Communication First"?
I can't read the article, but I can see the start of the Asians are discriminated against argument.

I always saw it as admitting people who bring the most value to the student body. Academics is just one tiny slice of that, but a lot of people are under the impression test scores are really what determine how "qualified" someone is to attend a school, everything else is just nice to have. Really there are no hard qualifications for who they want to admit or not.

Harvard could admit nothing but left handed people who speak esperanto if they wanted to, but that wouldn't mean they're discriminating against Asians even though the average rejected asian candidates had higher average test scores.

A student body that is homogenous across ethnicity and nationality, where everyone studied 14 hours a day to get in and all had perfect SATs and play violin, where everyone was upper middle class who's parents could afford to get them the required tutoring to meet the academic admission standards, etc etc, would be a much less compelling place for people to attend.

Now if there was a school that had the best professors, where the students were from every country on the planet and hundreds of languages were spoken, where you could network with the kids of the richest and most powerful people on the planet (even if they're dumb), but also weren't in an isolated bubble of ignorant rich children because they admitted plenty of people from lower income areas (even though they had worse academics), that also had some of the smartest students, I think that would be a much more compelling argument for the quality of the experience of attending a university.

Tests can gamed, asian and Indian students study harder, that doesn't mean admitting more of them would make for a better university.
If you think IT articles didn't have clickbait titles until now... oh boy.

>I’m disappointed that Android Wear didn’t take off.
More competition would greatly increase innovation.

Android wearables have a chicken and egg problem. Manufacturers aren't innovating because nobody is buying and nobody is buying because there are no innovations.

Apple is fully vertically integrated so it can recoup the high R&D costs for new silicon and other components through the price of the unit but on Android platforms you have separate manufacturers for the vital components who are under pressure to be cost competitive as they don't get a slice of the profits of the final product so they won't invest in R&D until they see enough consumer demand which isn't there.
>Yea pimpin'

Masterful trolling, or epic unawareness.
> I am not misrepresenting the paper: it attempts to explain why countries with mandatory helmet laws see _no_clearly_measurable_reduction in KSI (Killed, Seriously Injured) rates.

And in doing so, it goes to some effort to explain why you cannot, from that, conclude that helmets have no effect on individual accident outcomes, all other things being equal. (Mainly because all other things aren't equal, and it's very difficult to devise a methodology that makes them so.)
Which one wins on long term storage durability, shock proof, and water damage?
But, we do!

The cost of solar panels and wind has been going down dramatically over the last couple decades, and is only continuing to do so.

The percentage of electric cars is also increasing.

There is a lot of oil in the ground. It isn't going to run out in the next decade. By which time these technologies will have become even better.
I don't understand Apple's obsession with thin devices. What's the point in making something so thin that it detracts from their primary function ? Ipad Pros that bend, Macs with problematic keyboards and overheating...

Please, stop. Make things functional first, thin if possible, not the other way around.
A university tribunal is not government fiat, and a civil court has more power than simply issuing fines.
eBay. 1-1 HDD backups is probably close in price even in the used tape market. I use LTO-4 with FC. Works fine in Windows with Retrospect. I'd expect it to work in Linux as well. The hard part is backup software. I guess with LTO-5+ you can just directly access the tapes with LTFS, but I haven't tried that yet.
> Try searching for anything on https://open.quiltdata.com/ and let us know how search works for you.

I suggest adding the possibility of searching for exact matches with quotation marks, and also to ensure that it works with the quotation marks that the default keyboard on iOS has.

For example, I want to search for “Irish Setter” and only see results that include those two words next to each other like that.

I don’t see how this would be of “zero biological interest.” Is it because presently it is not that useful or because it will never have any applicability?
We have one and live in an apartment. I charge at work (free) usually and other times at a supercharger. Using a supercharger all the time slightly shortens battery life in theory especially if you do it wrong, but we do it less wrong. And Model S owners who have been exclusively supercharging have been reporting that their battery degradation is not bad at all.

The body work issues you mention are mostly in the past. And you wouldn’t be without a car.

So, red herrings.
What is the line of consent? In essence any action you take would require you ask for verbal consent. Can I kiss you, can I hug you, can I take your shirt off, can I touch your ... etc. In addition this would not change after the first consensual encounter, it would have to occur for every subsequent encounter potentially for years. If it does not at any time one of the participants could claim they did not consent to the particular act, claim rape and per the rules in place be immediately believed and have their sexual partner suspended / expelled for not getting consent / rape.

I am not negating the fact that rape is a serious offense and likely occurs with great frequency but we must always balance the rights of the accused and the accuser with legal process. Innocent until proven guilty is the bedrock of our justice system and without it we may as well revert to having a counsel of biased tribal elders decide guilt and punishment.
How thin does it have to get before everyone says "this feels shitty"? I have a few mechanical keyboards at home and at work and I can't imagine always having to use one of these new keyboards with zero throw. It makes me feel like I'm mimicking typing rather than actually doing it.

No. FFS stop it.

I am a huge fan of thin and small laptops, even at the expense of things like connectivity. However, 90% of what I do with a laptop is type. If there's no key travel, I can't type.
It is not. The specifics are still a WIP to be honest, but the plugin system will almost certainly have a scope to it.
>Most families include the elderly and the overweight, so the idea that familiarity breeds acceptance would predict that those biases should be going away quicker than biases against gays.

What I'm about to say is not meant to provide a justification for discriminatory behavior, it's just an armchair-anthropologist's attempt at explaining this discrepancy. We might have a very deep bias against old people; if a group of animals has to decide who gets a split of food, and some of them have a dramtically shorter life expectancy, I could imagine there being a biological tendency to care about the young over the old. A similar calculation might be made about the disabled, since a wounded companion is less helpful than an able-bodied one. Weight, I have a number of ideas about. There's a disease correlation, of course. We also might ostracize overweight people because overweight people were more likely to be hoarding food in our deep past, and sharing with those who don't share back is a bad strategy. Even if the specifics of my armchair-anthropology are utter horseshit, I could see factors similar to these out-weighing the familiarity bias without discounting it.
It would have been better with no humans inside the robots, so the fight could be more violent.
Was hired to do a difficult job, when the job was completed the management moved me to another team, with a new manager. The new manager was/is incompetent, and cared only about hitting their personal KPI's and taking credit for any team success. They refused to listen to senior engineers advice (new manager was a mid level engineer internally promoted to management when someone else left and always knew better). All of my advice was ignored, the end result of which was massive technical debt and inefficiencies across the board.

I managed to last about a year before I could take it no longer.

I quit two weeks before head office canned the entire project and fired half the studio.
It actually depends on the state. The amount of power a NP varies quite a bit.
Looks cool. What's your censorship policy?
This Bill could get unanimous consent this week again. S386 will boost fraud Indian IT outsourcing companies and give green cards to Indian workers. Green card applicants from other countries will be blocked for 10 years including British, Chinese, Iranian, Korean, Russian and etc. American workers will suffer too from lower wages and lack of workspace diversity. See #S386 on Twitter. Such a consequential bill should not be passed without public hearing.
What was the famous Dropbox comment? I'm out of the loop. Thx.
AIUI, Ubuntu Phone was not running anything close to a mainline kernel. They simply relied on patchy kernels meant for running AOSP, which created all sorts of additional issues. By contrast, Librem's work should be essentially 100% compatible with mainstream Linux distributions.
I think we’re at that point judging by the reaction to Apple’s latest generation of keyboards and their (rumored) upcoming change.
MakeMKV does support them, but you need a UHD drive with specific firmware. On the forums you can figure out which drive will work the best and which is the easiest to flash old firmware on. Either way requires a hacked firmware updater because the drive makers have to give it their best shot to avoid downgrades (to satisfy DRM licenses).

Also you can decide between old stock firmware or new firmware that has been modified by the MakeMKV team. I opted for the old stock firmware, I'm not really sure what the modified firmware buys you.

It seemed overwhelming at first, but after an hour of reading and searching on Amazon I figured out what the easiest route was. Once the drive arrived, the flashing was simple—I plugged the drive into my Windows box and ran the flashing code, then plugged it into my Linux Plex server and it worked right away.
Titanic – a tool for prototyping number systems
I really wish they would move focus back to being more expandable. The way they weld stuff to the mainboard is hot trash. There is no upgrade path for these newer macs. My old 17"? That got a 16G RAM/SSD upgrade with the CD swapped out for a second drive. Added years to its life. I suspect the new 16" version will only have four USB-C port.

I got lucky and ended up with a 32G work laptop. I've got enough headroom to run a couple docker containers at the same time. My co-workers stuck with the 16G laptops are really in a tough place. As things stand, I end up stuffing a pile of dongles into my bag as I transition from work to home and back again.

It is unfortunate the person who keeps demanding 'thinner' over 'professional' keeps getting listened to. Wish I could find a 16:10 laptop that had expandability.
> There have been multiple cases now where (American, obviously) Law Enforcement have brutalized and injured people experiencing diabetic shock.

Those incidents are reprehensible and should never be forgotten, and I don't intend to excuse them or the culture that enables them, but statistically they are extremely rare. Even in the worst parts of America, in a medical emergency you are better off with emergency treatment than not.

And if you don't want the watch to call 911, for whatever reason, you can turn that feature off.
How are they on privacy? The issue that I have is that every wearable device expects you to allow upload of sensitive information to their servers. At this point, especially with medical information such as heart rate, I do not trust it on any computer not covered by HIPAA or under my control.
It's still too expensive vs the gained utility. Given a tradeoff of very expensive and finnicky hardware, vs offroad wheels, use animals, or just pay humans, the robot loses.

A big part of that cost is the drive train and transmission. You need low speed and tons of torque, so this usually means geardowns.

Not that the software NRE costs are trivial, but they can be amortized. But building even a single basic six axis arm with human comparable strength is gonna cost several grand.
I see your point - it is easier to write in a consistent manner than not - but my experience matches the adage that it takes longer to write shorter.
I don't have any direct (or indirect) experience. So what happens now if a man accuses a woman of "raping" him? I'm guessing that he'd be ignored. And I don't think the standards will become gender-neutral any faster than they'll become just.

I do wonder, though, whether young men are becoming more cautious about who they have sex with. And if there's any way to protect oneself against future rape accusations. Perhaps some sort of witnessed contractual agreement? Maybe something like Islamic "temporary marriage"? With penalties for changing ones mind later.

Edit: Another thread cites an article about a guy who, paranoid after a "drunken hookup", filed a Title IX complaint.[0] So maybe that's the workable strategy. Have sex, and then be first to file. And research the process ahead of time, so there's no delay.

>"Really? The infotainment system makes it rank low"

Yes, because modern cars are so good nowadays that people expect perfection.

We are a two car family. In the past decade I've owned Volkswagen, Honda, Toyota, Ford, Mazda, Subaru and Nissan. All have been perfectly good cars, reliability wise. My last two leases I didn't do a thing beyond oil changes for four years, not even tires or brakes. Besides the odd car having some random thing replaced at the dealership under warranty, nothing ever went wrong with any of them.

I realize that's not everyone's experience, but I'm not a lottery winner either. Modern cars are a feat of engineering.
White-labeling telemedicine benefits could be a novel retention play for companies, but I think that only works if:

a. the benefit is obviously superior (better care than you'd get from a PCP or national telemedicine brand like Teladoc)

and/or

b. the benefit is emulsified with covered perks like gym memberships, wellness programming, etc.

It's interesting that this is a story though. It's either a recruiting tactic or they're floating it as something they might sell outwardly later. It's also potentially a way to control coverage costs for employees.
My perspective on this is just about the opposite. The watch is incredibly helpful, and isn't a distraction like my phone is. I have been wearing my watch and it has enabled me to leave my phone behind more often. It's been a way to wean myself off of technology, but still feel like I can reach people and they can reach me.
What will you do after your free year is up?
A university tribunal that operates as a result of federal requirements is government fiat, and a civil court is primarily concerned with awarding damages rather than imposing penalties. That they sometimes do other things is evidence more that the legal system is messy and flawed than that the exceptions should be the rule.
You don't need to get fancy to make a laptop keyboard that tanks an errant glass of beer poured into it. Thinkpads have had this figured out for years. I accidentally put it to the test once and the result was a very sticky but perfectly functional laptop. Took about an hour with a screwdriver set and some rubbing alcohol on q-tips to make it good as new.

I shudder to think what a glass of beer would do to my MBA.
Yeah, technically they're all levels of EMT, but "EMT" generally refers to "EMT-Basic" (a few months of training, a couple nights a week). EMT-Paramedic is ~18 months of a couple nights a week, plus 1,000+ hours of clinical time.
That will explain recent bold moves by the crown prince in attempts to modernize and diversify their economy like UAE did. Will it work out? We will see.

Yes, that would be objectionable, and probably not even legal, unless your boss was a member of a protected class and it could be shown that what you were doing was a hate action against the class and not the individual.

I'm not pedantic about word use, but if somebody uses random words they can't expect other person to understand. When nurse asks what is the problem and they respond "i don't know, how the hell should i know?!" Should nurse know? How?

What about panic attack? It can be described as shortness of breath (difficulty breathing) and sense of terror, impending death, loss of control (being incoherent). It's not life-threatening and does not warrant EMS response.

Only the single JS thread is ever reading or writing a value so what is the lock for?
Great write up! I really enjoy hearing this perspective. I think it's so easy to get wrapped up a big dream that we lose perspective into what's important. Treating people with respect and doing the right thing for the employees, customer, and owners. A lot of these mistakes can be tied to inexperience, and I wouldn't be surprised if the average age of VC invested founders goes up when money thins out!
