Laptops that are decided by their owners are beyond economic repair when something fails don't just get whisked away to landfill, but actually (in many geographic locations) go through actual computer recycling centres, where they are triaged, repaired where possible and re-used in lower socio-economic areas such as low income area training projects etc. Often people "throw away" a laptop just because it's "slow" which usually means malware infested and low tier spinning rust drive, low end CPU, not enough RAM. The CPU has generally been soldered since 5th gen intel core series but upgrades and repairs to the rest can yield perfectly usable machines for some considerable more time. In my region there are numerous recycling projects that do this and one of their sources is the local municipal recycling centre (aka the dump or tip to the locals) where E-Waste is specifically segregated for licenced recyclers to handle.

If you have devices that have "simple" faults (bad RAM,storage,wifi card etc) that would normally be a simple swap out, but now can only be repaired with a high degree of skill (micro soldering) and access to a parts supply which is intentionally restricted and knowledge which intentionally obfuscated (take you pick of Louis Rossman repair videos on youtube)then those products will skip this second life and head straight to material recovery rather than re-use.

> By "worked well" I mean people paid their taxes and the overwhelming majority were law abiding.

as i understand, the "overwhelming majority" (lower and middle class) are not the focus of the problem here as they rarely use tax havens to circumvent taxes anyway (it's probably not cost effective). this is all about those who have the funds and motives to circumvent taxation, who happen to be a minority - even thought they're not a minority when it comes to taxable income; the 1% or whatever.

as for the rest of your argument, i don't completely agree. while you're probably right in practice, i.e. the authorities would have used their tools against those movements, the goals of those movements were different. the civil rights movement was probably illegal at the time but the goal was to change the laws to make it legal. same for sex. no millionaire wants to make tax evasion legal, as that would affect all tax payers, even those of the lower and middle class. they want that only for themselves.

i agree that (hard) drugs are probably a comparable example - it's illegal and puts a strain on society. on the other hand, use of hard addicting drugs can be categorized as an illness. so should we label money hoarding and tax evasion an illness? offer treatment options? allow them supervised safe spaces to evade taxes so we can offer them help?

i'm not convinced that financial privacy whould be no exception. there must be limits if it affects the others. i also don't think environmental pollution should be an issue of privacy - you shouldn't be able to pollute the air and claim it's nobodys business, as your factory stands on your own private plot of land.

Which is interesting because a voice actor could be replaced in a day with minimal impact, but if all the tech workers in a game shop went on strike, the shop would be shut down. It's worse than that, because even if the shop could replace them all the next day, it would take months to regain momentum, if at all, using new labor.
Solid example. That lone book using a separate narrator was jarring. I agree with the performance aspect. It will take general AI to understand timing of a joke, or pausing for drama. One must literally understand the text to deliver a good narration. I don't expect to see AI capable of that in my life.
I'm a little disappointed that they've gone down this road - I don't think donations is a good model for most open-source tools.

I'm building & selling a 100% open-source product myself (https://httptoolkit.tech) funded by a paid but still open-source premium tier, and I also have a popular open source library (https://github.com/pimterry/loglevel) funded by donations via tidelift: https://tidelift.com/subscription/pkg/npm-loglevel.

So far, with far fewer users, the paid tier is a _dramatically_ more effective option: it makes nearly $1000 a month, and increasing, while donations make $50 a month. The latter library is a small package, but it is a small package that's installed 6 million times a week, so there's a huge volume of software depending on this. The former app has a few thousand monthly users but similarly isn't something that your whole business is typically going to revolve around, it's just a useful tool.

Imo, unless you're huge or you're going to become a really fundamental part of people's business, donations aren't going to work. Small libraries or occasional-use tools just won't get there. If you're webpack it's great, and I do think it's super valuable for those cases, but most projects aren't webpack.

However for almost any tool you can separate the power user/enterprise features from the basic features, and then put the former behind a simple paywall. It can remain open source, so the determined can fork the whole project and remove the paywall easily if they prefer, but for any large organisation that doesn't really make sense from a time or ongoing cost perspective, and you either miss out on all future development, or you have constant work to merge upstream changes with yours. Alternatively, you pay $10 a month and the problem goes away.

So far so good, and it feels like a win-win. Hard to translate to libraries I think, but there's interesting developments here like https://gitroyalty.com/.

The most common definition of "open source" is pretty much indistinguishable from free software. The only real difference is the overall goal of the two movements. The term open source comes from the OSI: https://opensource.org/ The definition of "open source" is here: https://opensource.org/osd Before the OSI nobody used the term "open source". It was coined by Eric Raymond (ESR). I can't think of any way it would be correct to use the term in a different context.

it all depends on second hand mac component prices.
from my knowledge apple changes the casing and motherboard for almost every mac hardware update. thus making components more expensive (lower runs) and the re-sell value high.
so for apple to allow replacing parts the backlash from a reduced re-sell price would need to be lower than the potential new avenues of 3rd party components and repairs.

In the UK, Lloyds TSB split into 2 banks (Lloyds and TSB) in 2013.

tl;dr

In April 2018 1.9 million TSB customers were left unable to bank online, some for several weeks; this was caused by customers being moved to a new system, which was only tested offline.

"Other failings by TSB that it identified included setting "unnecessary" time constraints, which did not understand the complexity of the project, and being dishonest about the reasons for delays."

The outage has cost TSB £370m.
I'm curious how these maps are made. Are they done by hand with careful planning beforehand to get the "before" shots? Or is there some API that you can call?

Not really -- depends on the game. If it's a big budget Batman game you're going to need Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, they don't come cheap.

"it's usually obvious who (person or business) controls the land anyway"

That's really not the case if the asset is owned by an opaque offshore company or trust - it's then pretty much impossible to know who the beneficial owner actually is.
One thing I found is that the reliability issues are usually quite fleeting. I have the feeling that a lot of the people who are experiencing issues are going to the Apple store straight away to get it fixed. I've had a few issues: 5 key stopped working properly, space stopped working properly a couple times, same for f key, where by properly I meant it needed more effort to get the keypress out, however every time the issue resolved itself in 2 or 3 days of use (presumably by the typing breaking up whatever dust had gotten itself under there)

They are definitely unreliable and shouldn't break so easy, but every issue I've had has resolved itself

They could be close to the server, with few hops, on a good connection. i.e. the same circumstances where fps don't need lag compensation because there isn't lag.

IDK the techniques Stadia is actually using but MS has a prediction and local warping method. Consider that when moving or turning in a fps, in most frames you're making the same input as the previous one. A statistical model, noticing walls and enemies etc can do better. So if lag is n frames, they predict what your input would be pver those n, and send the result.

Misprediction is still common, so they do local warping: locally transform the last received frame in accordance with the local input. Zoom for forward, pan left/right for turn etc. I think this would look a little like a stablized video, but it's only for a max of a few frames, so not as bad.

VeloView is Velodyne-supported version of LidarView.
LidarView contains experimental features internally developed by Kitware, hence more recent code (but much more unstable).
Since you are willing to compile it from source, we suggest you try with LidarView.
Please use this documentation for building LidarView: https://github.com/Kitware/LidarView/blob/master/Documentati...
The pdf version is outdated (and will be removed soon).
If google can get latency under a frame (16.67ms) or two then the latency should be almost unnoticeable. You can also time shift to hide the delay in one direction, assuming that Stadia modifies the game engine (you can send the expected game state at delay time in the future). FPS also have a lot of leniency to compensate. Other types of games are far less forgiving (platformers and fighting games) but they all tend to have fairly large internal buffers that can be modified to hide lag.
>Is the 3 months interval a regional thing, or based on the heat exchanger?

both. That is it varies between different units but also varies with local conditions, if your local conditions are "heavy-duty" (very high humidity, smog, area with lots of dust or lots of pollens etc.) you should consider replacing more frequently than rated intervals.
I played GTA 5 on the PS4 and the input lag is simply pathetic. If that's the baseline, surely Stadia can win.

Let’s insulate ourselves from the delusional masses by forming useful coalitions
Since you are reading this you probably know what I’m getting at. People who are grounded in reality ( according to my definition of course) are rare and may often be lost among the sea of the deluded masses. So this post of mine is an attempt to gather people who are like-minded.( people who I deem to be grounded in reality through my own colored lens of the world). The idea is to form mutually beneficial alliances in this insane world. Right now this process of forming alliances is somewhat unplanned and subject to chance events(you meet/know someone reasonable at school, work etc.). I'm hoping to cast the net wide by leveraging the internet. As to what exactly should the alliance be, or what it hopes to achieve is something to be discussed (though I have some concrete preliminary thoughts).

How to start: Email me your core beliefs ( though I personally prefer a voice chat with on Skype, google hangouts etc.), especially the beliefs where you think you differ fundamentally from the vast majority of people. I will quiz you on various subjects ( and so can you) to see if our beliefs align. Overall my beliefs can be loosely labeled as: generally anarchist (i.e a live and let live approach), generally anti-authoritarian ( meaning I believe govt/authorities do not protect your interests), largely capitalist( i.e vehemently opposed to coercive co-operation, put forth by typical socialism) etc. Perhaps at the bare minimum we have to share a meta belief that it is necessary to reach out and cooperate with other like minded individuals as it is virtually impossible to 'de-delude' the idiotic masses though arguments/dialogs etc. My email address can be found on my profile. In my profile you will also find a link to some webpages that outline my beliefs.

After this step, if we think our beliefs align, I will add you to an an online forum ( zero people as of now) , where you can interact with other people that I will be screening.

Caveats:

-It often takes a very long time ( months to years) to form mutually beneficial alliances. ( more so when individuals are geographically isolated from each other.) This is not a quick fix for your immediate problems, or for people without perseverance.

-The online forum is not to rant against the world, or a place to discuss your core beliefs. This is more of a place for doers not ivory tower thinkers.

Side note: It’s really hard to for me to believe that someone else is not doing this ( i.e what I’m attempting in this post) already somewhere. Let me know if you are aware of similar efforts, I would be eager to join.

> Warren Buffet is likely to buy a much more expensive car, or cars.

According to [1] Warren Buffett's house is worth .001% of his total wealth, at $652,619.

And for Warren Buffet to pay sales tax proportional to someone with $500,000 in assets buying a $50,000 car, he'd have to buy the world's most expensive car - a $5 million Koenigsegg of which only 3 were ever made - 1700 times over.

FWIW, their "basic answer" page is the simplest i've seen that neither lies or omits critical factors in the 0.1 + 0.2 problem. It's probably a good starting point that induces some lingering questions tempting you to find out more.

If you want a thorough understanding you will want to look at representation-error, rounding-error, error-propagation, why they exist and how they interact.

The interplay between those three forms of numerical error in floating point numbers will also allow you to more easily see the world of limitations of fp beyond 0.1 + 0.2 for yourself.

Simple. Because the authors take on the whole scenario is flawed and bias.

"Why aren't Americans rising up like the people of Chile and Lebanon?" Is a flawed question because the authors viewpoint is wrong.

For example - The emphasis they place on the Occupy Movement is misplaced. Such movements are minuscule compared to the remainder of the United States.

"They have the guns but we have the numbers." Yeah, But you know who has more guns? The remainder of the US Population who thinks things while flawed, are fine and will get better. The remainder of the US Population who wants nothing to do with Socialism and Communism.

"Without the movement-building work of thousands of Americans, Bernie Sanders would still be a little-known Senator from Vermon (And the entire end of the article)"
Which is actually testament that the system can and does work. How many new Politicians like AOC have been elected since 2011? How many non-career Politicians have upset career politicians since 2011. On BOTH sides.

People can point to the electoral college as a failure - But the fact is.. Congress is being represented by the people and campaigns are working. Much to the dismay of those who wish to uphold the status-quo on both sides.

And that fact alone - Is why Americans aren't rising up. Because unlike Chile and Lebanon, We don't have a central leader with all the power. We have a Government with checks and balances that frankly, works a majority of the time. Where-as Chile and Lebanon doesn't.
