> Tent put in stupid spot on snow slope leading to it being hit by small avalanche

Tent put in a place where slope is only 15 degrees, no signs of avalanche

> ran from the slope, fearing another, worse avalance, taking injured people with them

There were traces of 8 people walking slowly downhill

> ran out of firewood (all small lower branches were broken from surrounding trees

There was enough of dead wood around better as firewood then fresh branches. Te fire wasn't tended to at all.

> Person/s tried to go back to tent and died of cold on way

If you believe coroner report they were all quite well dressed (for example Kolmogorova - two hats, long sleeve undershirt, sweater, checked shirt and another sweater, cotton sport pants, trousers, ski pants and three pairs of socks. Two pairs were thin, then the third pair was woolen with insoles inside.)

> Probably too much alcohol

They have sworn off alcohol for the trip. A small flask of medicinal alcohol had been found sealed.

> There is a full Russian coroners report online

Coroner reports describe several traumas (pressing on chest cavity, bitten off finger found in the mouth (so bitten at the moment of death), severe burns consistent with torture rather then accidental burn, broken nose, choking with blood, bruise looking like left from a baton, fracture of the frontal bone and hemorrhages ) and then conclude hypothermia.

> It looks as if Rustem fell repeatedly on his face as he was walking down the mountain. And every time he fell he managed to hit the sides of the his head. Rustem's body was with icy bed under from the hardening of the thawing snow. This means that the body fell when relatively still warm and there was a noticeable heat exchange into the environment.

The book is pretty well derided as political propaganda masquerading as science. It's the same as the modern day "scientific" view that all Trump voters are mentally ill and Clinton voters are not.
Well, it is not unusual when some religious practices turn out to be incompatible with law.
Certainly there must be geniuses who are quite the opposite, who are so masterful at social skills that they are able to bend the masses to their wills while seeming most pleasant.
Maybe bt just performs better for most people than your experience? I have cheap $50 Bluetooth headphones from Amazon and they almost never drop signal. Certainly less than once per listening session (a twenty minute train commute). I know it's happened but it's rare enough that I can't think of any particular circumstance.

By this logic smartphones are not a platform?
I sometimes forget to put my phone in my pocket when I get up from my desk, and walk around the office to the kitchen which is 30 feet away and has multiple walls in-between, and there isn't a single blip in the audio streaming to my AirPods throughout the entire journey.

If you've experienced problems, maybe you had a faulty unit. My experience for the past year has been 100% seamless and it's been a decade since I've loved a new set of headphones this much.

Hmm, I will say that usage indoors vs outdoors will result in drastically different experiences, and so you should be careful in evaluating anecdata.

In regards to "making x worse", every trip I've done only seems to amplify whatever thoughts are in my mind. If you're alone, and you start thinking about something that depresses you, you will almost certainly be in a bad place. If you force yourself (/have a friend or two) to explore your thoughts positively, you won't. That applies to indoor trips. Outdoor trips are dominated by your inner feelings about the outdoors. For instance, if you get anxious in the woods sober, tripping outdoors will probably be a bad time. Personally I get overwhelmed by how awesome nature is, so I've never had a bad experience outdoors.

Generally I ended up confronting something in my thoughts every time (anxiety, major decisions, relationships, etc) and seriously appreciated lsd for it. Even a "bad trip" gave me some nice insights.

If you're worried about "bad trips" there are generally two kinds.

1. You realize you don't want to be tripping at some point during the trip, overwhelmed by the high/new perspective. Every time I tripped with someone for their first time, they encountered this to some degree. You have to psychologically prepare to spend ~12 hours in an altered psyche.

2. Staring into the abyss. Having dark thoughts that spiral into more negative thoughts, etc. Usually friends can help here, but ultimately this varies a lot between people. I've been with people where this happened, but I've never gone through anything I couldn't easily talk myself back out of. They all came back to normal, but for some amount of time they each silently freaked out in a corner or similar. Pretty easy to spot if you have a "guide" to trip with. A friend who's done it a few times works best in my opinion, but many people choose a sober trip sitter.

If you have specific questions, I may be able to answer them. I've done lsd probably 3 dozen times, in many different environments.
They're in politics, consulting, and the like. Not even being snarky.
Thank you for this, very lovely and straight forward
That's currently what they do I'm pretty sure. It seems they'd need something more, because sellers appear to be too ingenious.
This isn't accurate. Siemens delivered trains that could tolerate the power fluctuations at the time they were specified.

The problem was that the national grid then changed (loosened) the specification of what an acceptable fluctuation was. The trains could not tolerate this new specification.

What we can blame Siemens for is not providing an easier and quicker way to get the electrical systems back on their feet after a problem, instead relying on a specialist to physically visit a stranded train. I think they said they'd fix that one...
If they could fix most of these problems, their products wouldn't be so cheap.
Why do you think that? I think they would just pass the slightly increased cost on to vendors and/or customers.
A lot of "could" and "would" to speculate about airpods becoming a platform.

The article vastly overpromises and underdelivers
True, but it's a two-way street. An academic honesty policy seems predicated on the assumption that the system run by faculty is inherently honest.

> [...] said the SpotterEDU app has become a nightmare, marking him absent when he’s sitting in class and marking him late when he’s on time. He said he squandered several of his early lectures trying to convince the app he was present, toggling his settings in desperation as professors needled him to put the phone away. He then had to defend himself to campus staff members, who believed the data more than him.

I pride myself on my honesty, but even I would have a hard time feeling bad about cheating this system.

Need to hack airline gds. system
At my school, they're surprising good. I mean, the systems aren't in an air gap, but we use 2FA, requests for data access are scrutinized, and not from a bureaucratic perspective but from a conversational perspective: "Let's talk about what you're trying to do with this data, what's the minimum needed for your goal? Is on-going access really necessary or can we provide a single extract that you access via a secure environment?" That sort of thing. Infrastructure security isn't something I'm involved with, but we do have a robust security team that works on it, that I engage with when working through vendor checklists and other security matters, and they are up to date on the field and conscientious to the point of (reasonable) paranoia.

We're also not a high-profile target: Most hackers looking to crack a system holding personal data seem most concerned with high value targets with millions, not thousands of records. That doesn't stop our security team from treating the possibility with the utmost seriousness though.

However, the above applies to where I work. This is not universally the case. I think most schools are increasingly aware of the potential, are take minimally necessary steps to make sure they aren't wide open, but there are simply too many small schools with 1,000 to 5,000 students that simply don't have the scale needed to really devote resources to this. Again, the low-value target helps here, but it's not great.
The title is a bit misleading, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Go programming language.
AFAIK if you properly define the From/To operator, rust generates it for you.

And if you think about it, defining those operator is a good practice as it tells your program how to handle errors.
Who was this poor fellow?
I'm pretty sure you have a defective unit somewhere. Bluetooth isn't perfect, but it's definitely not "drop signal from my pocket" bad unless you have some weird specific-to-you problem.

AirPods work reasonably well. My cheap knock-off AirPods ($50 Anker Soundcore) work really well. I can drop my phone and walk into the next room and still have full audio without losing signal. The battery life is basically the same as my wireless headset, despite being a tiny fraction of the size. They sound just as good as any pair of $20 wired earbuds I've ever used.

Yes, they aren't perfect (the dual MacBook + iPhone pairing handoff thing seems sometimes problematic. And they are easy to lose). But they aren't trash. These products sell reasonably well because they work reasonably well.

Aaarrrggghhhh blockchain.

The current purpose of blockchain is to be fashionable and to obtain funding from the ignorant masses.

Use the appropriate technology. If you want to manage versions, version control sounds about right! If you really want audit-ability, you need a significant number of independent blockchain miners (>>1). If you control the only miner (and so the source of all the blockchain), blockchain is providing no security (you could change whatever you like, and adjust the signatures to lie about it).

Also, blockchain gets very expensive - all that useless "proof of work" has to be done and paid for.
Just the other day my toddler fell out of a shopping cart. I never paid much attention to the warning signs because I'm always right there pushing the cart, this time though I'd moved a few feet away to wrangle his older sister and he stood up in the cart. I immediately moved back towards him but I was too late. Normally he has great balance but as he reached out to me his weight shifted causing the cart to roll forward and he toppled right out. He landed right on his face in the most horrifying moment of my life. Thankfully he's all right (giant bump and a black eye) but it easily could have been fatal. I'll never leave him unrestrained in a cart again.
Nice project. Some ideas:

When you click a number or press a key, the number should be highlighted for a short time.

In some other games, after a wrong try the number disappear and in other games the number gets semitransparent and disabled. It makes the later tries easier, but my small daughter learned to bruteforce the tests :) .

Sad cats when you get a wrong answer? Perhaps it's a bad idea.

You should be able to upgrade it to the latest version of Windows 10 with a fresh install which should get you security updates for a while. You'll probably end up losing your previous data though, but having the install media on an external drive might let you upgrade without having to completely format. Sadly I imagine you'll run into the same issue after the next massive Windows update. As others suggested, running Linux would probably alleviate these issues.

Wouldn't it be better to keep them there? Those that survive/thrive get to breed and rinse and repeat. Keep them in space their entire lives, generation after generation and evolution would produce a space-faring capable group of humans.
My biggest complaint with BT is it sometimes connects to the wrong device so I have to do a little song and dance to connect it. Wires don’t have this issue.

My second biggest complaint was audio lag but that’s less of an issue now. Of course wires never had this issue.

> “ You have nearly a hundred years of quantum mechanical experimental evidence that supports CI as equally as MWI.”

But you absolutely do not.

“Thing plus totally extraneous, unnecessary additional complicated hypotheses” is not equally as supported as just “thing”.

Science says let the simplest, most parsimonious explanation that survives contact with the data prevail.

There can be multiple hypotheses that are all congruent with the same experimental observations. That does not make each hypothesis equally valid.

Those hypotheses, like anything specifying needless extra collapse physics, that are not as slimmed down as they could be while maintaining congruence with the observations must be rejected in favor of those which make fewer unnecessary assumptions or invoke fewer unnecessary details.

The evidence is always for all theories that are congruent with it. That does not at all mean science equally supports all those theories.

I prefer wired headphones because they are cheap and effective — I don’t get the appeal of spending $200 on something that’s semi-disposable when an equivalent is like $10.

That said, I use Bluetooth headsets at work sometimes, and haven’t had any of the issues that you describe. I frequently wander up to about 100ft in the office without audio issues.
> it seems WebGPU is doing the same things we've been using WebGL for.

Not really the same though, the purpose of WebGPU is exposing a sandboxed GPU hardware directly to the web, not exposing just a graphical API like WebGL exposes OpenGL variants.

It currently is looking at being SPIR-V compatible. As both Vulkan and OpenCL supports SPIR-V we might use WebGPU for GPGPU in the future.
I don’t fully agree with parent about all drawbacks for wireless headphones but I do agree with Bluetooth having issues. In particular in Apple hardware. My AirPods will drop out if I cover my iPhone 11 Pro with my hand in my pocket. My Bose NC 700 will either drop out or cause my magic keyboard to lose connection if they are too close to my MacBook Pro. I’ve learned to live with these things as I understand they are minuscule problems to have, but the point still stands. Bluetooth has issues.
I have a pair of wireless skullcandy crushers and have never experienced connectivity issues. They are also very comfortable and the haptic feedback is a really cool feature for hip hop.

once every 5 weeks, FAANG
I bought a product on Amazon this Christmas that was completely fake. It was "sold by Amazon" but didn't even have the same label as the brand I had ordered. I complained to Amazon and they just gave me a refund without requiring that I return the product (I ended up just throwing it out).

I suspect that they knew the inventory was tainted but figured the cost of dealing with noisy customers like me is less than the amount of money they make selling a cheaply made ripoff of a $15 product.
Simply put, it is not in Amazon’s interest to police counterfeits as it is not in Facebook’s interest to police speech.
OK, but do you have a fake DNA service for me to sign them up for?
Hackernews when discussing amazon reviews: “Don’t trust them, they are easy to fake.”

In the mid-2000s I once tried installing Windows XP to a 16GB eMMC drive that was in a PCI slot adapter on my main PC. It did install successfully, just as it would on a normal hard drive. It did boot. The only problem (besides it being only 16GB) is it took forever. The PCI slot transfer speeds were slow. The eMMC card itself was slow. I can't recommend doing it, but it does work.
Thanks for your thoughts, that's an interesting way of looking at it!
It depends on how many people we have on the team! Right now it’s every three weeks. A while ago it was every 6 weeks.

I used to get paged dozens of times a week. Now it’s either once a week, or a few dozen times a week (usually this is a blip that can just be ignored because something went wrong and then fixed itself). Typically there’s one small actionable item every week I’m on call.

The company is 500 people, my team varies in size a lot as people quit and we try and hire replacements. It’s been as small as 3 and as big as 12.

They absolutely are. Apple makes money from the iOS ecosystem in two ways: through device sales, and through App Store purchases.

I'd agree that iOS is an example of a restrictive platform, in that ~30% of all revenue goes to a single gate-keeping party.

In any case, I messed up the quote a little, another commenter found the source and real comment: 'Gates said something along the lines of, “That’s a crock of shit. This isn’t a platform. A platform is when the economic value of everybody that uses it, exceeds the value of the company that creates it. Then it’s a platform.”' [1]

Circa 2003 I found an old Quadra [forget which model, but with an MMU -- still have it powered off in a closet] on eBay for less than $20, and installed A/UX.

I got some old Mac software (some games, and an old release of Netscape), and some GNU ports (gcc 2.8 ish I believe?). It was interesting what could have been - there is a simplicity in System 7 UI that OS X doesn't have. But after a while it became kind of boring, another dated Unix machine that can't run a lot of recent things.

The most dated thing I remember from the time was it didn't support DHCP.

It's not that rare. Other people are mentioning busy environments, but even when I'm in an isolated environment my Aukey wireless earbuds, with the receiver on the left side, often have connection issues if I put my phone in my right pocket.
I help decide on hiring decisions (company in California) and I absolutely look for a Github account with genuine content in it. Of course, many good candidates who get hired don't have one, but if you do, and if it shows that you have some ability to write/discuss/maintain software independently, then that's a big plus.
