Don't be silly. I am not talking about soldering or "work on transistors". I am talking about exchanging a keyboard, battery, SSD. That are tasks that every IT guy can do in minutest on most laptops. Most people will care about the difference between an hour and several days to several weeks of repair time. Any professional user certainly will.

And if people don't care about the time, they do care about the cost. It makes a difference whether a broken keyboard costs $100 or $600 to repair. In the latter case, the machine often is totalled. And then it doesn't matter how nicely you recycle the aluminium, the machine could have been used for many more years, if it could have been repaired.

Or asked the other way around: if Apple can so nicely reuse the parts, why do they charge more than the cost for the broken part? If they would replace broken keyboards for $100, few would ask, how they do it. Why don't they fix a broken SSD for $200?

Amazon is a bad fit for this use case. Amazon's value proposition is: "you are making money, pay us a big chunk of it and we will help you scale up with less effort and fewer staff.

It doesn't seem surprising to me that making a cloud gaming service would necessitate assembling your own servers. Games just have different hardware requirements to everything else, it's well known that "pro" graphics cards are not meant for gaming.

Testing for Fragmentation: Understanding Browser and Device Fragmentation
In order to understand why this conflation is occurring, you need to understand chinese culture. Chinese culture is very different in some fundamental ways that's hard for western countries to understand. First of all, the people in China are trained from a very early age to think of themselves as indistinguishable from their country and their government. There literally is no concept of self in China. People are tauhgt to think of themselves as completely the same as their government. this is a fundamental viewpoint of how the chinese see themselves. This of course allows the PRC to do whatever it wants without any complaints from the people because any thoughts against the PRC is tantamount to being anti-chinese. Thus when chinese people see anything that goes against the PRC they take it as a personal insult to themselves. The PRC has influenced their people to regard any idea that goes against the PRC as racism towards chinese.
I don't think they are working together so much as the system is setup to reward their anti competitive behavior so they all have followed the rewards to the same end.
Yeah, but US-backed != US-hatched. The proximal cause is that Bolivia had fallen into a state of utter chaos (therefore a power vacuum); the proximal cause of that is that the president tried to pull off a Xi Jingping but this didn't play even with much of the population that initially backed him.

It's the difference between setting a house on fire to acquire the land, and buying a land lot where a house used to be.
Catchy, honest, funny, and viral. I'd say they got their money's worth.
That's hyperbole though. they're just showing that they are trumpers until something ridiculous like that happens. I'm sure there are some zealots but 99% of them would not be cool with him murdering someone in cold blood.
I Was Donald Trump on WT.social and Everyone Believed Me
Sure, you shouldn't expect to cuddle the speakers - but I go to live shows in small venues where I'm trying to dig myself into the wall at the furthest point from the speakers because it's too loud. They just need to turn it down.
That is not what I am suggesting either. Smaller telescopes and cameras but on every satellite which can then be combined computationally as well. Tons of possibilities. Of course, like I said, they could also equip some of them with more powerful and larger hardware. But the smaller ones would already provide lots of capabilities for very little extra cost relatively.
This, IMO, is the best thing to happen under the Trump administration. Hospitals will have a hard time arguing on behalf of price-shrouding.
That's true for me too, I dug out Starship Titanic not long ago, but it raises another concern. If streaming games catch on widely enough, the holdouts become a niche market. I don't foresee that happening to games in general, but certain genres could see streaming-only releases.

In particular, online FPS games have high requirements and many already have "fixed" lifespans because matchmaking relies on the publisher's servers. Given how many excellent games have switched to community hosting after they were abandoned by the publisher, that'd be a real shame.
This is a great article that expresses a similar desire for a "real" programming language as an article I wrote here: https://adaptjs.org/blog/2019/09/25/react-for-infrastructure

I think the real problem we have with infrastructure is one of evolution, abstractions and leaky abstractions.

First, infrastructure is not a static thing, it changes over time in response to code updates, environmental load (autoscaling), etc. And the details here matter. How should new code be rolled out (blue/green, how fast, what are the quality metrics, etc.). What should happen to the old instances while the new stuff is rolling out? When should they be killed?

What we really need is a good way to declaratively specify what to do, and how the components in that declarative specification should evolve as new stuff is rolled in, load changes, etc. We need a good way to specify the control plane for our infrastructure. adaptjs (adaptjs.org) is our TypeScript-based open source project to provide this. It is still early stage, but I think it is pretty promising.

The second issue is one of abstraction. All these things are complex and often need customization to suit the particular application challenges. Using templates, CDK, Pulumi, or anything else to generate YAML is fine, but as the article points out, you have no insight into how your specification got realized into the low-level infrastructure.

Moreover, you have to care since you need to know the low-level implementation to debug, understand cost, analyze logs, etc. Adapt has some machinery so that you don't always need to understand the low-level implementation for this stuff, but since it is still early, that part of the system needs work before it is ready for prime time.
Thank you for mentioning Gadgetbridge [1]! Interestingly enough, i find people mentioning Gadgetbridge under very many recent smart band/watch/gadget related articles here on NH.

Gb is under constant development - improvements and new devices are being added all the time, thanks to the main developer who is really good with the deep BLE stuff. The app provides a great value in notifications (and their filters), steps/sleep/activity collecting and visualizing, button actions and more. We are looking for help, however, with some of the obvious things like nicer activities listing, simpler imports of data exported from other services etc, so feel free to stop by the Matrix chat or on Codeberg/Github.

I think it is a good thing, like a free market for tax laws - you can choose the one that best suits your needs :)

More seriously though, tax havens are necessary: governments are just as greedy as corporations, so we need some means of tax avoidance, otherwise politicians would just pass a law introducing 100% tax rate on everything.
I added some more mentions:

Haskell does have exhaustive checks. Its just a compiler flag which isn't default turned on (this kills me).
There's something from Etymotic. It has a hole in it to reduce spectral distortion.
> They've also stated in response to the Oculus store offering hardware exclusive titles that they would never create or publish a VR game specific to one platform.

Sauce? I tried googling, didn't find anything immediately relevant. I'd be curious as to their exact wording of that claim.
This is why we need single payer and to abolish/greatly diminish private insurance. Hospitals and insurance companies continuously demonstrate the failed state of the healthcare market. Market-based healthcare will always be unworkable due to impossible to reconcile conflicting incentives.

Or, to be more precise, he took one puff and didn't even inhale it. In a place where it is legal. Pretty absurd. Just like the entire worldwide "War on Drugs".

> the author is using "older white male" shorthand to point out that we need to structure society and the economy in a way that protects all people

This feels like a justification, an excuse on behalf of the author. If we replaced "older white male" with "young black woman", would this be acceptable? If we replaced the author's references to "other generations" with "millennials", would the article be acceptable?

> I'd hope that the readers are capable of enough nuance to understand that what is meant is an elite rather than react to perceived racism, ageism, sexism etc.

As I said, I took it for what it ultimately is: blowing off steam. But I also couldn't ignore how the author is also using their burnout as an avenue for attacking others as if it's their fault the author burned out.

The "others" can, and should, provide a safety net. I have done so in my personal life. But ultimately, I have no sway in someone else's mental well being, for example when it comes to the expectations the author has put upon herself WRT social networks.
Okay, but won't you be the other side of the '50 cent' this way? It seems as if even a regular Chinese netizen will be seen as a shill/troll by speaking what they have heard just as Joe from the West copy pasting the same embarassing events over and over. It blocks off honest communication on public forums.
Haven’t heard a single thing about this social network aside from the name associated with it.
As campuses all have different cultures, wouldn't it depend on the exact campus you sample from? There might be some where Spartan cultural values still prevail. Maybe on a military college or colleges dedicated to some minority. Or one of those hypercompetitive business schools.
Sucks to be you, then.
I didn't even know there was a fitBit sdk.
> And if you’re going to tell me that it’s simply a matter of supply and demand and giving the people what they want, I’m going to disagree. It’s a chicken-and-egg issue. If people are given only one kind of thing and endlessly sold only one kind of thing, of course they’re going to want more of that one kind of thing.

From the Scorsese Op-Ed. I did explain in my previous comment that "voting with their attendance" is a faulty excuse, because it's a self perpetuating cycle.

Also, if studio execs just blindly gave people more of the same franchises without trying new ideas, we wouldn't have Marvel or Star Wars. Executives need to take creative risk if they want to receive financial gain.

The idea that Marvel is just having a genre moment doesn't really follow. We've never seen a genre that subsumes all genres, that dominates the box office in such a relentless manner. Has there ever been a time where horror movies were playing at every movie theater, where everybody talked about horror movies, where practically every actor under the sun had starred in a horror movie?
We took out the trigger word.
The noise looks very predictable, should be super simple to filter out
You can trade Obama and Trump in the above and get an idea of how a lot of people feel.

The truth is in the middle, nobody is perfect, nobody is pure evil. But once you choose a side you find it hard to see any good in the other. (I often recognize and fight the problem in myself - with no idea how often I miss it)
Wait, what about their contracts with TSMC?
This was far from "obvious". Extradition from Sweden would have been harder than from the UK.

> On one hand, yes, you're entirely right about the eventual outcome, but on the other hand, let's get there gracefully.

The problem with a "get there gradually" approach (at least as I understand it, and I may not have understood you correctly) is that it pretty much precludes a useful LEO constellation.

A LEO constellation is not really useful unless it has a significant number of satellites. Putting up 1% of the satellites doesn't really get you 1% of the functionality of the system. There's a minimum threshold you have to hit for the system to really be viable at all.

Which means at _some_ point (if we have LEO constellations at all) we're going to have to really rapidly go from very few LEO satellites to a large number.
I'm a fan of metal and small venues (something of a double whammy for getting too much volume in one place) and I just can't recommend earasers and similar enough. Literally life-changing. I often wind up going to see live music three or four times a week, and if I didn't wear them I really would be deaf by now.

Wealthier countries, too. An amazingly high portion of Canadians don't have a family doctor https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/despite-more-doctors-many-cana... . In Atlantic Canada the shortage is astounding https://www.thetelegram.com/in-depth/doctor-shortage/what-we... . The problem affects rural areas more than cities, but I've heard the same occurs in Vancouver too.
On these trips, do you bring an emergency radio or GPS?
This is what happens when boomer NIMBYs oppose new housing. They got theirs and are making sure nobody else can join the party.
Is that really true of the US prior to the 1950s? I would say the US, at least, has been highly individualistic since the Revolutionary War.
Qr 5.13 is based on Chrome 76-77
> The Marvel movie I always wanted to see was one that put the Epic Battles aside completely, and focused 100% on telling a character-driven story. Something like the Matt Fraction Hawkeye comics, where the point of the story is deepening our understanding of this one character, grounding him in the context of the brownstone he lives in, the ways he interacts with his neighbors, and their common problem of potentially losing their homes to an aggressive developer. Human-scale stories about human beings.

It kinda sounds like what you dislike most about superhero movies is the superpowered heroes.
Yes indeed, as number theorists should be allowed to ditto.
Unfortunately also being on Steam barely gets you store exposure anymore.
To me, that appeared to simply be effective communication. Raising a potentially serious issue early rather than waiting until all options have been exhausted and giving the security lead no time to react. Had they not been able to succeed, the advance notice could help in getting other resources moving in advance of the internal or external deadline.
The story is also about preventing motion sickness. Just reading about the test van with rear facing seats made me nauseous.

I'm still amazed people who can read or do whatever without ever looking out the window for long periods of time.
Unfortunately I believe he will cave in quickly and lose interest while claiming a big win . So far none of his health efforts have led to anything other than big words about Obamacare and then nothing.

I would be very happy to be wrong about this.
So only send it to email services that support TLS, ie 99% of them
Eventually the published price will be close to the amount you are being charged. I would expect health care providers to stick with their promise to post the highest possible cost but as people being to use these prices to shop around (both these numbers are exorbitant, but this one is less so, etc.), I am confident they will abandon this gambit.

IMHO, it's kind of nuts they are even starting out with this argument.
but nationalism for the chinese is particularly intense, see my comment on that below.
I totally understand and agree with your analysis of the problem, but I think blaming other people wouldn't make me feel better if I were in your shoes.

I think my last comment is quite relevant, and even though it might sound provocative, it's deadly sincere. I never thought that in a western country someone could allow this. I also agree that I don't know the situation so well, but discovering the existence of this practice in the US (and most importantly the fact that it is going on since so much time - accepted by the population) is a step forward in understanding your "culture".
Do you mean the Xbox Game Pass? That doesn't offer streaming it seems.

When I moved to a largely off-grid remote location of dead silence it became clear I had a mild form of tinnitus.

Initially it was quite annoying and I thought it would drive me insane being in otherwise complete silence where it was so hard to ignore. But after a few months of silence it magically went away.

I suspect it was caused by my nearly constant use of headphones in cafes/offices. On my land there's no need for such isolation mechanisms.

We're probably doing more harm to ourselves than expected by wearing headphones every day, it's certainly not natural.
There's an epsisode of "Abstract - The Art of Design" on netflix in which this building is featured.
>Why do you think this?

Because when you get a security clearance the feds explicitly ask if you've smoked weed in the last 7 years, and are especially interested in knowing if you've smoked weed while possessing a clearance (https://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/sf86.pdf).
Are you conveniently forgetting the forceful seizure of an entire continent, displacement of native populations, importing millions of human beings to be used as slaves, colonization and plunder of natural resources across the globe, and deliberate destabilization of regions for profit?

The news of the announcement leaked, so Valve make an official announcement announcement to take control of the message, and prove it was real.
I'd never heard of Gadgetbridge, but "local storage" would certainly be my requirement. It's the same issue as smart-home devices (without voice control): from a user viewpoint there's absolutely no benefit to having them phone home.
I'm curious, which fanatical Christian religious groups in California that are not Republican supported prop 8?

Also pretending like the core issues of the party are small auxiliary issues that the party doesn't believe in is ridiculous considering their work on passing laws and enforcing them in the courts. If abortion or other issues were not big issues, why does the party constantly pass laws and enforce laws against them? Actions speak for themselves. No amount of propaganda changes that. It'd be like pretending that healthcare is not an issue for the democrats right now. It's absurd.
> Same deal for sports. What difference does it make if green team beats yellow team this week?

You know..... you know sports are real life right? Like, there is an actual competition happening, it's not pre-scripted. Sports fans like sports because they like watching talented athletes competing with one another.
Android flaw lets rogue apps take photos, record video even if your phone locked
This might suit both anti- and pro-PRC propagandists, but it's not reflective of reality on the ground. Chinese people have plenty of self-conception, independent thoughts, and the ability to distinguish between themselves and their government and objectively judge government actions. At least, no less so than people anywhere.
> There is no bias against China as a country, or Chinese people.

At some point you also have to make it about the people, too, after all the Chinese Communist Party is comprised of Chinese people.

I'd pay more for quality. If I knew hospital X is better at hip replacement I'd pay extra to go there. Of course how much extra I'm not sure, and I'm also not sure how you compare hip replacement quality like that.

It is only emergency rooms where I don't get a choice - if you need an emergency room close is important.
That's the way to handle it. Use terraform to describe the shape and where the holes are, and use something like ansible to configure/provision the resource after it comes up and fits into the hole.
In my experience they won't print it out either.
yes! i recently saw old boy for the first time. disturbing, thought-provoking, well-made, well-acted, emotional, tense, even funny at times, but oh-so-disturbing.
It's probably easier for him to do so, given that Facebook is banned in that country. But then again, so is Google, yet they pursued Project Dragonfly.
I feel the same way about Trump, but as someone who's gone through many years of trying to eke out basic health care and gone through years of minimal insurance, I see this as the government doing the right thing to a giant, bloated, sector. In many ways, health care manifests itself like a racketeering operation in the country, despite the genuine well-wishing of the battalions of nurses, doctors, staff, and assistants who help us every day.

Adaptive optics should be able to adapt to any number of satellites traveling, quite predictably and diminutively through their frame of capture.
It is not about specific building scheme for dependencies that make uses. It is more about "all-purpose" stuff: automate tasks that you run manually or via CI in a general purpose language.
