Didn't they originally want to do wifi in the 900mHz range but couldn't because too many people had cordless phones in that range?

I guess not many people still have cordless phones? Or they have the tech to avoid it now?
My point centers around two things;

1) We cannot provide the same services with the same mechanisms, processes, and infrastructure at 50% of the current price. The margin simply isn’t that high. Everything from the design of the hospital, to the regulations around the equipment provisioned in each room, to the processes followed by staff throughout a given patient visit need to change, along with the specific tools and techniques used to perform procedures, before we even get into how and what procedures are chosen to treat or manage a given symptom or disease, whether acute or chronic.

2) Even with all of the above, a system that optimizes for price will absolutely have to make trade-offs in other areas to achieve that. Understanding where, when, and how those trade-offs are made and if they are being made fairly and uniformly based on malady, procedure, patient population, etc. is not a minor detail.

These are massive structural, policy, and economic changes which will impact a double-digit percentage of GDP. Why should anyone have any faith that this will be done in any semblance of a sane, reasonable, compassionate, let alone fair, efficient, or effective manner?

If the government has shown it’s entirely incapable of passing effective legislation to manage the cost of healthcare, why should government be granted an order of magnitude greater role in the provisioning of care?
> If you can counterfeit something for cheap, the counterfeit will eventually take over the entire market and drive out the real commodity.

This is definitely true in the case of parmigiano reggiano cheese which is a $1.2 billion dollar a year business from the real cheese. The fake cheese, called parmesan, makes $100 billion. 99% of Parm cheese sold each year is fake.
Peter Attia discussed this issue pretty extensively Mart Makary on his podcast. It seems like most of the medical community agrees this would drive down costs in the near-term. The issue is what happens to care, choice, and price long-term in a single-payer system.

I think is we force the disclosure of what every company or individual pays for specific treatment or medication, this transparency alone should be a big step in the right direction to normalize costs.
An important distinction in the article: It doesn't say that you gain more weight by eating processed foods, but that eating processed foods makes you want to eat more. In other words, calories from processed foods are not more powerful weight gainers, the impact on obesity is related to how it effects satiety & appetite.

You are advocating for security by obscurity. Which is a "deterrent" not a solution.

Version numbers help people get support and know when/where versions are fixed and if they are patched/updated.

A solution is running up to date software, and encouraging developers to release security fixes and for admins to care.
I'm surprised it took this long to be found. Searching for shell_exec() and/or exec() in the source would be the first thing I'd do if looking for RCE.
You and I have completely inverted ideas of what censorship is and why it is bad.

Using legal tools would be horrific. Government censors deciding what material is too dangerous for the public is exactly one of the elements of fascism.

Private entities on the open market exercising their right to not help promote ideas they object to is a good thing. It means that the more objectionable an idea is, the harder it is to publish and the smaller its reach; and the more in the gray area an idea it is, the easier it is disseminate and the wider its reach. If one of those private entities makes a mistake in judgment, that's an opportunity for a competitor.

Governments have a monopoly on violence. Its power is not kept in check by competitors, but by systems like a bill of rights. Weakening those rights to allow legal tools to control ideas would be disastrous.

Corporations have no responsibility or ability to educate everyone about misinformation. They do have a responsibility not to enable bad people to do bad things, including not promoting ideas they know are dangerous.
I'd say that that you can generalize fulfilling the queries and making them secure. It's not easy to generalize making them performant. But you can be more reactive on performance, when a query becomes a problem you break out of the general system and write something optimized.

I see what you're saying and agree, but that didn't just sound bad, that sounded awful. The basics of customer service were not met.

I feel like Python 3 has largely resolved the bytes vs characters problem. Byte arrays and strings are different classes in Py3. File and socket I/O deals only in byte arrays which are treated more like lists than strings. To perform a lot of string-like operations, you have to explicitly decode the byte array into a string. If you get it wrong, you'll likely get either a TypeError.
"Six months following your inactivity with the panel Sites and/or uninstalling the Application/Services, RN may transfer your PII to a third party data broker and/or data management platform for purposes of resale/reuse by such third party."

I feel like this is a great example of how people can easily and unwittingly hand over their personal data for resale. I was going to sign-up for this in order to earn some Southwest Rapid Rewards points, but then I read the privacy policy. To their credit, they provide an opt-out. But, the sheer length of the policy is off-putting.
I use a travel mug with a strainer cup that fits snugly inside. In the morning I pour it out without removing the strainer, so whatever dust fell through and collected in the bottom ends up getting filtered out when it goes back through the wet bits of leaf.

You are using as the title the subtitle of the bigthink article, not the title of the research article that is the main URL.

The problem is that it's between misleading and totally wrong:

They exec the speed of light in the medium around the source, not the speed of value in vacuum that is impossible. This is explained in the article but it's too late. It's better to forget to put that in the title to get a nice linkbait. More details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation

It's just that when the wave goes from sub-luminal to super-luminal it creates some signal, and when it goes from super-luminal to sub-luminal it creates another signal, that looks like the other signal running backwards. It looks impressive, but it is another linkbait.

I love my Oculus Quest device and some of the experiences that you can buy for it are very compelling (eternal thanks to the developers of Vader Immortal) but, I just don’t see much fun in VR for huge numbers of participants.

I helped build a VR racing system at SAIC in the 1990s that had two units, each with full motion, haptics in steering wheel, and it’s own Reality Engine graphics display. Racing against one other person was lots of fun. I may be having a failure of imagination here, but I just think I would enjoy Horizon, as it is described.
You post a photo to facebook. You accidentally have the wrong sharing settings, which you notice too late. Should there be no ability to change your mind? We're operating in this "once it's online, it's out of your control" but that's a new kind of thing, and it's shitty.
Because polarized lenses cost more to make. Which means Zinni has to pay more. Also, depending on the Rx and frame combination, they can be a little more complicated to manufacture as well.

If you have a reasonable Rx, Zinni are likely using finished lenses. Polarized have to been surfaced in the lab.
> For a closer example, there are plenty of married Republican politicians who are willing to make statements on abortion that imply they have no idea how the reproductive system works.

If you think the abortion issue as simple as men oppressing women, you're horrendously misinformed, in a bubble of ideological ignorance, or both, given that women skew a decent amount less pro-choice than men.

(I say that as someone who's strongly pro-choice and, to my knowledge, has never met someone who's pro-life. I just don't think my bubble comprises the world or even the country)

> <gestures to entire history of sexism>

I'm not even sure where to start with this unsurprisingly unnuanced response to my model. Again, if your model of gender roles throughout history is as simple as "men lording power over women because they were able", you should pick up a history book.
This middle-school model of history fails to explain the historical imbalance in torture, mutilation, violence, and early death (with corresponding imbalances on the other side in sexual violence, lack of agency, etc). There's no such two-sidedness inherent to racism, historically or theoretically, no analogue to things like "women and children first" that belie, as I said, "full dehumanization".

(I'm not remotely interested in comparing the levels of gender role oppression, historically or currently, because it doesn't have anything to do with my point, which was that there's no corresponding force pushing towards humanization of the victims of racism)

Higher index lenses tend to have greater chromatic abberation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Abbe-diagram_2.svg

In practice different materials of the same index can have significantly different abberation. When I very recently got work-optimized glasses from a local optician, I could sit down and compare the materials they could get. One of the 1.60 index materials (Hoya, I think) was as good as thicker lenses while another (Essilor?) would have given me noticeable fringing on a monitor.

Now try to get a place like Zenni to so much as tell you what they're selling.
What's insane is that vendors will do this even for products that are very obviously not "too much". I shouldn't have to call a sales line and give a bunch of information just to get a ballpark figure on what a urinal cake will cost me, lol.
Why is the legal sense some sort of surprising exception?

Zenni also requires an up to date prescription.
Not that I know of, unless you plan to use the Raspberry Pi’s HDMI port for audio output.
I agree with you, but think it might be an orthogonal question. I'm saying we could resolve the indexer question transitively. You're talking about the content question, where I agree you should be able to set the record straight. That one's a can of worms, so I tried to sidestep it.

I work at a tech firm. We use these tools fairly regularly. Often, someone will ask a question the other person doesn't know the answer and will turn around and ask their phone. Works pretty good much of the time.

I'm still not sure how useful the frames will be, but I can see a few uses for them, especially on my daily commute.
Yes and No. I think they can never go back to how it was. But having memories and remembering the old ways is a start. A point of departure if you will. From this point of departure, I think this where we will see how they will evolve their ways.

Much like how after a tragedy, people talk about it to get over it, the next talk has to be about what happened to them, so that they can move forward.

This, along with remember the ways of the old, can give them roots, and a feeling of belonging, a feeling of who they were, and a feeling that traditions can evolve and continue on.
Yes. Use Signal, or Mastodon, or WARP 1.1.1.1 if you trust that.
You're right that Facebook was successfully abused by the Christchurch killer, but 8chan was being used by his community as intended, not abused.

To most people, that's why 8chan needed to be shut down, but Facebook only needs to be fixed. Why do you think that's irrelevant, and being small is the only crime?

Right, that's one source of sexism, but not by any means a complete picture. The stereotype of the lothario who thinks of women as inferior is yet another one, as is the feminist who mocks both toxic masculinity and male tears.

You're never going to entirely escape from those who are just shitty people, but at the societal level, sexism is unique in that the groups of potential victims and potential perpetrators are intimately forced together, ij a way that isn't necessarily the case for racism or homophobia (when gay people are forced into the closet).

This is kind of ridiculous, USPS also sorts the packages they receive from individuals. It seems kind of clear that there's no special magic that packages coming from China are going to have that packages that are already in the US are not going to have. The USPS page I link to above specifically says that the USPS prices lower when companies do their work for them. That work is not going to be free.

This is good, but I'd prefer the error to occur at compile time. Consider the case where you do something like creating an error message because you can't open a file, and want to include the filename. The filename is bytes, the error message is a string, so instead of being able to print the error message, you instead throw an undebuggable exception.

Dunno if that in particular is a problem in Python or not... but it is the sort of thing to watch out for.

Anyone know how this compares to Apple's U1 chip's Ultra Wideband technology?
Great point since it was a well functioning large messaging platform. That's not easy, a ton of work went into marketing, engineering, and strategy to get to this point. All that thrown away, yikes.
Thanks for the info. I honestly was NOT 'in the know', I've always been with Verizon as it had by far the best service in the mountainous region I live in. AT&T, Sprint & others are far inferior, through experience & evidence from friends/ family.

So I wasn't aware that Verizon phones were desirable for this reason. It's actually interesting to look into the different wireless bands and how the different carriers use them, but is this still the case when you select the SIM free version straight from apple?

I just feel like most of this is misplaced 'outrage'. I refuse to subscribe to outrage culture, where everyone is looking for a reason to complain in a recreational sense.

Meanwhile as 'outraged' as the guy in the original thread is, he is clearly going to keep using Apple products.

There's two main reasons to prefer 2.4 GHz to 900 MHz. First, there's more spectrum available (100 MHz vs 26 MHz). More importantly, though, the 2.4 GHz license-free ISM band allocation is worldwide, whereas the 900 MHz allocation is Region 2 (the Americas) only.

Large employers are self insured. The insurance companies just manage the benefits. In that sense there is no negotiation, beyond a manager fee. Price is determined by health of employees and benefit level.
Look at the staff list https://www.gnome.org/foundation/staff/ . It's top heavy with useless people running "diversity initiatives" and "anti-harassment teams" and only one Gtk dev.

I'd happily donate to a legal fund to fight this lawsuit though.

Get a FOSS Android phone. I have a OnePlus 7 Pro, previously a Galaxy S5 (the newer Galaxys also work as long as you don't get the US model); it runs LineageOS (stock Android). I chose not to install the Google Play packages. I get apps from F-Droid, which is a repository + package manager that builds and distributes FOSS applications.

It pings time.android.com for NTP, and I think it also uses a Google server to check when you're behind a captive portal WiFi. The default dialer/SMS/Contacts app have some options in the settings that will connect to proprietary APIs; I don't think they talk to Google but if you do then you can replace them with applications from F-Droid. But other than that it's 100% clean.

In the system settings I can completely block applications from using the network. LineageOS also adds Privacy Guard, which lets you deny permissions to applications. I need WhatsApp to communicate with some people, but I have denied it contact permissions so it gets fed an empty address book. I also have it set to require confirmation from me to use the camera or microphone.

I also installed AdAway from F-Droid, which is a DNS-based firewall like Pi-Hole. From F-Droid I also got Firefox with uBlock Origin, K-9 mail client, NewPipe as a YouTube frontent, OsmAnd+ for maps/navigation, DavDroid to sync contacts & calendar with Nextcloud, the Nextcloud Notes app for synced notes, and a OpenVPN client to prevent AT&T from spying on me and injecting tracking identifiers into my internet usage.

The only real threats in the system are the proprietary driver blobs and the risk of Google putting evil code into AOSP instead of limiting it to their proprietary services - but I hope the LineageOS team would be able to catch that.
I suspect you can find a way to brace them in many circumstances, some of the common bicycle theft techniques are pretty constrained. The down side of this method for a thief is that they look very much like a handgun for obvious reasons. That ups the chance that a quick theft escalates to gunfire if you're interrupted by the police, armed security, or an armed home owner or bystander. Cops are a lot more likely to shoot you if they think they saw a gun.

Wow, why all the downvotes? The original article said "People change jobs, change wives, have kids, accidents, and so on. So everything in VLC needs to be done so that we can continue without you." I really don't get how "changing wives" fits here so was asking a legitamate question. And I got some legitamate answers too -- e.g. you might have had a wife that supported your volunteer coding financially or otherwise.
Doesn't this work against small-time inventors? Price it too high, and they can't afford to keep it (don't have time to sell it or build a business around it); price it too low, and someone can just buy it off them. Perhaps it could lapse sooner if you aren't paying the tax (to discourage people from just sitting on patents), but that doesn't solve patent trolling.
