Cynicism like that makes me sad. Cynicism is one of those weird attitudes that totally justifies itself. It is the psychological interior of the "defect/defect" Nash equilibrium. It's saying "Oh yeah, all politicians are liars, all charity is a scam," which tends to produce a world where all politicians are liars, and all charities are scams. When an exception occurs, the cynic says, "Yeah, that honest politician is going to get eaten alive by the liars; those selfless charities are going to go bad someday, out competed by the transactional ones." And everyone who believes this makes it more likely that it is so.

But spirituality is quite real, and there are those who really believe in selfless giving without expectation of anything in return. Lots of people. They exist in the "cooperate/cooperate" equilibrium, and honestly, it's better there. It's not that you don't see the cheating, the greed, especially in the name of charity, its just that you're choosing to do something different, something that feels more wholesome. (I say this as someone who's served a bunch of meditation courses, and really enjoyed it.)
As I understand the issue, it's not fining someone who is indigent which is the constitutional issue.

The core issue is punishing someone for something they are, vs punishing them for their behavior. The courts have said its cruel to prosecute someone for not having a home, when you're pretending that it's their behavior which is under attack.

Shelter is essential to life.
You can get really good support from Lineage OS for years to come. Been running it on all my android devices for years. The flagship models like Pixel usually have the best ongoing support.
There's one key flaw in those studies, at least in my opinion. It's that they were done among children who had no choice. I can't imagine that someone who was actually interested and motivated to learn French would get the benefit from Esperanto. I also don't think that the benefit is all that great, and would like to see the studies repeated now, 100-years later.
This scheme isn't designed to make the addresses memorable though. It's designed as a workaround for cases where hostnames are supported but v6 literals aren't, for example in UNC paths to Windows network shares.
There's a number of reasons, but as I understand the main issue is that John Deere is treating their tractor's firmware like the music industry was treating MP3's. They say farmers may own the tractor itself, and the hardware, but they're only licensing the use of the firmware and don't have the right to modify it. (Which can be necessary when repairing a tractor that has many computerized systems.)

They're essentially creating DRM for tractor software that's so restrictive that installing new parts requires access to secret codes in the firmware in order to turn them on, then accusing farmers of breaking the law if they try to alter or figure out these secret codes in order to keep their tractor working without going to a dealer. (According to my basic understanding, correct me if I'm wrong.)
Assuming you mean 5V or 3V DC, there will have to be a baseline level, then it will have to be upconverted or downconverted from the wall AC is (to whatever their baseline standard is in DC), then converted back to AC by X-converting then converting to something in AC, then downconverting to DC OR using semiconductors that used to be expensive (don't know if they still are). Seems complicated. Why not just stick with (in the US AC @ 110V - it's not like it isn't wide spread) and let all the device power adapters take care of themselves?

Or, you know, have better silicon components give us SDVC (Software Defined Voltage Control). I'm joking, but I also don't think you will save what you thik you will in TCO - Energy Savings + Device Cost differential.

I could be wrong. I have been before. And I am operating on almost zero sleep for over a day, so odds are, I could be doing to again at greater than my average error rate.
It seems probable to me that some actual application GUI toolkits will target WASM+Canvas and finally give us good-looking, capable, better-performing, easy-to-work-with GUI application development in the browser, yes.

HTML's pretty bad at the use case it's been smushed into, and hacking a semi-reasonable GUI toolkit on top of it in Javascript is bound, no matter how good the effort, to be slower and less pleasant than something designed from the beginning to be used for heavily interactive application GUIs.

The two big risks I see are: 1) the tinkerer-friendliness of the Web is, very likely, going to take a big step backwards as WASM use spreads, and 2) there's a chance we'll end up with 100 different WASM GUI toolkits and they'll be super-trendy and all the job ads will demand familiarity with at least one of them, but not a single goddamn one of them will handle accessibility and various edge cases half as well as plain HTML or actual native development does (to be fair, Javascript that writes around limitations in HTML by re-implementing parts of it often has the same problem)

> Enlarge the time frame for recommendations (our current product is based on the standard 24-hour news cycle, which makes sense if you consider the ephemeral nature of news data, but we want to evolve our news—to a content recommendation product).

it's impossible to keep the promise of delivering quality content, when their sourcing for the "What you need to know / Top News" feature submits itself to the rules of a 24 hour news cycle[1]:

> footnote: The first version of Cliqz News recommended articles to users in the form of a web application by harnessing the power of the crowd. Topics were represented by large groups of Twitter users with influence in a particular topic. The content circulated within these groups was then classified and ranked, allowing us to make predictions about stories you might want to read based on detected similarities with other users’ interests

They realized they could predict what will become newsworthy by looking at twitter echo chambers. Twitter is awesome because we get to watch how (especially Western) news break, and how larger established outlets cover the same story, and (with some manual digging) follow discussions/reactions in different echo chambers and how these continue to affect the coverage. Twitter feels (or in the past felt) like grassroots journalism. The problems of the 24hr-News-Cycle aren't created by Twitter and already existed with tabloids. But Twitter amplifies the problems mentioned on Wikipedia tremendously, while even creating some new ones. Cliqz doesn't look like it is going to solve any of this, instead they assume nothing is wrong with how things work currently. Cliqz inability to think about this problem, while at the same time building / peddling services on top of it, is a red flag imo.

EDIT: the wikipedia page has a brilliant book[0][1] linked at the bottom ("Skyful of Lies & Black Swans") which I highly recommend:

This article is centered around AWS but there is a nice chunk near the end talking about the expansion of GitHub and Microsoft's role in that. GitHub Actions is really a step forward and is something that might threaten AWS, as well as others (CircleCI, Jenkins, etc.)
I have a 3yr old with glasses. Well, sometimes he has them but often he doesn't. Would these work for helping to track/find his glasses? Obviously his frames aren't super large and he's curious so if it isn't secured well it may end up being removed and stuck on a cat at some point but even if it only lasted a few months it could be a god-send for us.

Is this a scenario that would benefit from your product? If so how can I get a pair - even if just to try out for your v2 line. Anything you can do to help relieve the stress of a few parents frantically searching for glasses would be very welcome.
> 3. Include ALL OEM equipment, regardless of age, model, or years in use at the time of the effective date.

To me, that clause seems to be overly broad since I'm interpreting it to mean that the manufacturers have to indefinitely support all of their products.

If it's limited to all equipment that the OEM is willing to sell to at least one entity, then I'd say it's perfectly reasonable.
There are special thicker 16 and 18 AWG Digital Electricity cables [1], so you probably wouldn't get that 2kW with CAT6 unless it's just peak power with a low duty cycle. They are rated for 300V so they might actually use close to that.

Nice thing. I like in the description how you use NFC just for association. But when will you add eink and other hardware options?

I use mostly similar hardware made in China. The real added value is eink, so the label is also readable by humans (text) and existing machines (QR). When you have eink prototypes, I may have clients for you.

Also, do you plan to have temperature sensors? It is an easy addition, and opens a large new market.

Another good thing to have can be 433/868/915 Mhz - some companies like to leverage their existing radio, but the protocols can be a pain to deal with.
I think people here are using atheist and secular interchangeably.

When people say atheist charities, what they are trying to say is secular charities lacking any religious affiliation. They aren't trying to say charities that are actively "affiliated" with being atheist.
This is the perfect way to frame it. Just about anyone, no matter their level of interest in the case, would response to that with "well, duh".

"JetBrains listened to their customers..."

Yes, you can make something sound positive when you leave out material facts. They knew an expiring license would be much less popular than a non-expiring one before they did it. So, just saying they listened to their customers leaves out the very important detail that they ignored their customers the first time around.
One more thing, the articles are from all around the net.
I wrote it as a tool for myself to handle the infinite content in my RSS, when I leave my RSS for 24~48 hours, I can't handle the backlog while it's too much, not mentioned after a weekend... so I tried to optimise my time and looking for just the top content. I share the tool with friends, and they was very excited and more and more people ask for it, so I decided to take it out so anyone can enjoy from it.
Hope it will help you too, and I will be more then happy to get any feedback to make it more usable :D
Sure, I really do hope that engineers do their best to fix things, but in the sad world of contemporary web frontends, I'm a bit pessimistic (then again, if one has to err on the side of build system over-engineering, you're rarey disappointed).

Still, if the deployment system involves frequent node module updates, the vendor files get "dirty" quickly, too.
> When the stock vested at IPO sometime earlier this year, he had to pay at least 30% taxes on it - in the US. That is not money he could have had without actually selling some. No?

You generally don't have to pay taxes on stock options until you actually have income from them - ie sell. There are some exceptions, and in some cases paying at-vest can actually reduce your overall tax burden (by excercising options you don't intend to sell right away, you can start the clock to turn them into long-term capital gains when you do).

Some discussion about pass through charging on the Anker forum boards [1]. Pretty much everyone I know who carries a power bank only remembers to charge it at the same time they want to use it, so pass through charging capitalizes upon this consumer behavior to use the power banks more frequently.

The possible dark pattern I see operating instead is manufacturers are opting to ship power banks charged up to the retail shelves, and likely don't mind if people keep buying more new units because they can't wait for the units they already have to charge up?

I tend to keep all my gear plugged into chargers whenever I'm stationary because I know all of them have charge protection circuits and I have a work profile closer to that of a digital nomad than an office-worker, so I'm an outlier with that common consumer behavior of only charging when one must.

Just quick look of spectrogram but I'm sure that they don't show changes in brainwave.

Your spectrogram shows difference in muscle tension and activity in your scalp. Unfortunately they overlap with most of the EEG spectrum you are trying to measure and are stronger. When you concentrate you become more tense.

You need to do more signal processing and learn more to really measure changes in EEG.

All of the money would then be spent fighting the NIMBYs who would prevent any homeless shelters from being built anywhere close to their neighborhoods...and indeed several tens of millions have been spent in courtrooms fighting off NIMBY lawsuits to the more than 2-dozen potential shelters that could have been built since the passage of Measure H.

The fundamental failure of Measure H was that while there is the money to build the necessary housing, and the general political will to build somewhere....there is intense political opposition to any specific place that gets proposed as the location for homeless or transitional housing.

> Providing housing?

It's one of the most affluent cities in world history. That is exactly the obvious solution that SF has intentionally avoided implementing.

If it was a matter of 25,000 people, sure, I understand that would be a huge problem for a city of that size. It's a matter of closer to 5,000 people that need housing (out of SF's 8k to 10k homeless, some are long-term homeless, some are short-term homeless, so you end up with a lower tally of how much housing you need at a given time than the max figures). They have no excuse for the grotesque human rights abuses going on there.

I'm overwhelmingly in favor of the Federal Government stepping in and doing some very unpleasant things - as necessary - to the city in order to force their hands on fixing homelessness there. If they won't fix it, bring the full weight of the US Government down upon their collective heads until they squeal and capitulate (as they are guaranteed to do). The Feds have dozens of ways to beat on the city until it does by forced measures what it should have been more than happy to do on their own.
Now then, yes, there are many, many valid religious charities (and by this I mean organizations, as well as that component of church giving that factors into benevolence).

But by studies performed by religious organizations themselves (who if anything are likely to skew the numbers more positively), across the board, "Local and national benevolence receives 1 percent of the typical church budget", and an additional 5% goes to "church run programs" (be it after school care, social or group activities).

If a secular charity - and lets go back to Charity Navigator here - Top Ten Inefficient Fundraisers (https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=topten) we see some of the worst charities spending 15% of their donations on "program expenses" (i.e. doing what they are being given money to do).

I'm not familiar with the monitoring of 501(c)3 groups, but I suspect if charities were to regularly spend only one per cent of their givings on what they got to enjoy tax exemption to do, they'd likely have such a status revoked.

And, if you factor in this average percentage (even the six per cent combined, which is generous, as as much fun as social and youth activities are, they're not necessarily serving a critical need), and start to question 'how much money is being spent on 'spreading the word', patting themselves on the back, competitions in Texas to see who can built the world's biggest cross just down the road from where the world's previously biggest cross was built at costs of millions, there comes more and more skepticism of just how highly you can value "giving to your church" on the scale of charitable contributions.

A study by ECCU (http://web.archive.org/web/20141019033209/https://www.eccu.o...) stated that churches use 3 percent of their budget for children’s and youth programs, and 2 percent for adult programs. Local and national benevolence receives 1 percent of the typical church budget.

So I -do- place some skepticism on the idea of blanketing 'religious giving' as 'charitable contribution'.

Well, he said “rational,” as in, how does Deere rationalize it. As far as I can tell, they’re just parroting the usual DMCA talking points…

> John Deere declined to be interviewed but sent a lengthy statement outlining its concerns. The company doesn’t want people altering its copyright-protected code because, said director of public relations Ken Golden, “changes could lead to the unsafe operation of products, disruption of machine capabilities and performance, changes to emissions controls, voiding of warranties and lack of transparency to the changes when the equipment is sold to another user”.

But yeah, money.

One thing that gets lost in this particular controversy, IMO, is that John Deere is effectively a monopoly in this space. If farmers were able to choose between tractors that were built like Dell laptops vs ones built like iPads…

So this is a problem of digital rights, but one could argue that it’s also a problem of deregulation and lack of competition.
One big thing I see with feelin g like email is a stack is GMail's insistence on newest first and no sort option.

I have Thunderbird set up with IMAP'ed GMail accounts and it does allow oldest first, turning the process back into the queue it's supposed to be.

Everything that comes in is either GTD-style two minute rule handled immediately, or gets labeled "Next".

When I get to the Next label, they either get handled, or labeled Someday.

If I ever get to the Somedays, they get handled in further ways.
In some cases, it may be a legitimate desire to let the market sort it out. It isn't as if there are laws barring manufacturers from allowing end-users.

Arguably, the "right" answer would be for customers to go to vendors that provide support for end users repairing their own products.
