Depends on what you spend. Good studio monitors should have fairly flat response across the audio spectrum and most tend to be Near-field monitors which sound absolutely great when you are positioned in front of them as you would for mixing, but don’t sound quite as good when used as a general room speaker. Mind you they are often still better than many peoples setups just the same. The ones that are not Near field can work even better for a general audio situation but tend to cost even more.

Some studio monitors like the popular KRK series are not flat response and are a bit bass heavy.

They also planned on wiping out 100% of Latgallians, 85% of Poles, 85% of Lithuanians, 75% of Belarusians and large portions of most of the rest of Eastern Europe[1]. The groups you listed were some of their top priorities, but by no means where they intended to stop.

I assume they mean with periodic stops for gasoline, which is a lot more common than a quick charge station.

That said, it’s an interesting thought exercise to go unsupported and make your own (solar) fuel via motorcycle. Of course to maximize charging / travel you’d have to ride at night, which would sort of suck.

weren't hurting anyone. We didn't mean to kill them. We did it by
accident. We weren't paying attention.

None of this is precedented. None of this is part of the 'natural cycle'. This continent is experiencing a mass extinction event and the only reason it's not all over the news is because all of the news outlets are owned by Murdoch the coal mogul who probably understands climate change but will continue funding the public denial of it just because it makes a buck.

> Yet another service that forces you to use the app for no reason

For sure there is a reason behind. It's just not a user-focused reason but a business one instead. One guess would be that the browser is a environment the user can kind of control, so they can block tracking and so on. When you're using the app, you don't have the same control anymore, so the business can receive more metrics from people that they wouldn't before.

Not saying this is good/bad, just that there is most probably a reason behind the choices they make.
It'd be safer to do firewall blocking, since the TV could fall back to a well known public resolver (i.e. 8.8.8.8) or even do DNS over HTTPS to a known Samsung IP.

Though blocking is a little harder if you want to use built-in apps of the TV (i.e. Netflix) while blocking it from sending viewing data to Samsung or its affiliates.

Though if you really want to keep the TV from spying on you, the easiest thing to do is to just not connect it to the internet (which is still an option in these pre-5G days, not sure that will always be the case in the future, the TV may have a built-in 5G modem that it can use to talk back to the manufacturer)

It's not even a free problem, it's general pricing. Companies constantly seek ways to increase profits, while customers constantly seek bargain basement pricing.Electronic privacy is not a problem people have dealt with at large, I think. People also often view the competency of corporations much higher than the HN crowd typically does.

I think this is the same for any category of information though. Informed people will heavily advise against things that the public just has no idea on. Health is a big one.

My question is what can we do aside from running around in panic? It feels hopeless.
We need something to firewall the Internets from our too-smart house stuff! Something like an inverse firewall. A waterwall.
modern Lisps don't use unquote/quote like that.

This looks more like 'FEXPRS' from decades ago.

1962 the ideas of macros were introduced and macros are source code transformers, which take source code and generate new source code. This can also used in a compiled implementation, where macros translate the code before compiling.

FEXPRs are then functions which get arguments unevaluated and can decide at runtime which to evaluate and how.

When all is said and done and we've defeated climate change, the future generations will look back and wonder how we could have been so callous about the beautiful cacophony of life we had. All of this unnecessary political naysaying won't change it, but if you're seriously asking this question out of frustration that nothing is being done, then advocate.
Maybe destabilizing means we, the US now have less time to make a decision on a first strike by Russia and the potential for an incorrect analysis leads to a retaliatory strike before we lose the ability to do so.

No, you couldn't be extradited from Ireland for being gay because it's not illegal to be gay in Ireland. It has to be a crime in both countries.

But in general, questions of jurisdiction are complicated. They're settled by courts, not by what people say on the internet.
Few reasons why I prefer dumb TVs, just a flat LED panel:

1. You have control over bullshit like this

2. You can make them smart by attaching the external box

3. You don't have to throw the TV because your Software is now old, just change the box.

4. There's new format which requires hardware support (av1 is coming), change the box.

5. Want to add new hardware? Upgrade the box.
I imagine the thinking is that if the TV is not connected to any WiFi, it might try to connect to something public or non-password protected neighbornet so it’s better to connect it to something non-functional rather than unconnected. Of course, the TV could just lie about what it’s doing anyway...

Kinetic intercept has been reliable since (at least) the 1990s, it is why virtually all new weapon systems for the last decade or so are designed around it. They don't need to test the concept, just the implementation. Similar for decoy discrimination.

Many people conflate kinetic intercept with an unrelated design problem: at hypersonic velocities, material ablation limits both the speed and precision of maneuvering. An ordinary missile can easily intercept a hyperkinetic missile, due to the former having much more operational maneuverability and precision, but not the reverse. Over the last few decades, the research has been figuring out how to reliably deliver similar precision on hyperkinetic intercept platforms across all operational environments.

Maneuverability in the atmosphere at hypersonic velocities is significantly constrained by the limits of material physics. What you gain by reducing reaction times you give up in agility.
I was speaking to your first point, namely:

> Sometimes individuals must break the law for greater good. This is called civil disobedience, or civil resistance.

Which is not a complete description of civil disobedience. It is accurate, but not precise.

Civil disobedience implies the actor wishes the law to be changed. They might expect not just a pardon for themselves, but a pardon for everyone who broke the unjust law. It's a distinction with a difference.

We agree that its effectiveness depends on accepting the punishment, sure.
What do you mean by "punish minority views"? An important component of the classical notion of "state" power is that the government has a monopoly on the use of force. When coupled with the limits to the power of the majority (i.e. individual rights and limited government), holders of minority views should be protected from "punishment" that involves any use of force related to their protected rights.
They would be sued to hell as the role of an isp is not to be a regulator of what a company can and can not do.
Let me guess. Mostly ignored.
Yes, we are in agreement to what this so-called reasoning is. So let's criticize it then. I'll refer to your proposal by numbers if you don't mind.

1. is actually two propositions, the first one unnecessary to the discussion. But useful to frame the second part as as self-evident as the first one.

2. is simply false. We could agree to a relation of dominance. Several non-violent ways of doing that through cultural, religious, familial, societal means have existed in the past. Luckily for you, 2. is also totally useless to the argument being made.

3. Yes, if you define private property as the act of eating and drinking, then it is consubstantiated with our human condition. That's not the definition generally admitted though. My son (who is 5 yo) does not own anything, yet he eats food I own, is sheltered at our place, receives water we pay for. Does it make him incapable of reasoning? He frequently argues, occasionally reasonably.

Actually this jump from scarce to private property is the main problem of the argumentation. Scarce things don't have to be owned. That's the whole subject of the debate, you can't just assume it is true to prove it is true.

4. follows from 3 so I consider it invalidated. I'll just ask this: is a slave unable to produce arguments? Or do you consider a slave owns their body, food, water, shelter?

Why? On this case, all it means is that the "we would like to keep other stuff viable" is divided in 5 options.
Exactly the same list of reasons why manufacturers now only want to sell you smart TVs, and dumb panels are so hard to find.
An idea, perhaps you remember the idea of charging a small amount for each email you sent to prevent spammers.

Perhaps that same idea could applied to job applications. For a firm that believes that they get too many applications they would introduce a cost to sending an application.

Conversely, there would be a cost introduced if a firm wanted to headhunt an applicant.

Whether this would work in practice I don't know though :)
And Deutschland isn't actually pronounced Germany or l'Allemagne. At some point you have let go and allow a language to have its own words for geographic terms outside of where it is spoken. It can be I bit difficult where borders have shifted (revisionists would insist on "true" names even if they don't know them themselves without referencing a historic map while everybody else is making a conscious effort to avoid those) or where a name was forced on a place by invading foreigners that got ousted again, but it's perfectly possible to navigate that problem-space without trying to go native pronouncement everywhere.

In fact, in a case of politically questionable names it could even be seen as a sign of antirevisionist acceptance to introduce a badly butchered (if necessary) transcription and pronouncement of the local name into a language that used to have a name that isn't acceptable anymore.
What the “other” side is arguing is that if you’re using these income taxes as justification for the government backed loans because those loans allow the attendance of college, then it matters whether or not those same people going directly into the workforce, starting working 4 years earlier, and using their talent and ambition would end up paying a similar or greater amount of income tax. In short, you’re saying only the outcome matters and they’re saying the outcome might not be caused by college attendance.
Using node to demo web assembly is like using a skateboard ramp to demo a Lamborghini.
This is a great example of how node makes great things messy, complicated, and slow. Use it for route mapping, otherwise switch to a non-tirefire language. Node can't marshall binaries on its own, so it has to resort to these kinds of gymnastics.
Not necessarily.

Dissuasion must be credible and that requires credible delivery systems (missiles).

Thus, if for example the US develop anti-missile systems that are able to shoot down Russian missiles then Russia no longer has a credible dissuasive arsenal. Consequently Russia must develop new missiles that evade anti-missile systems. This does not mean that they are designed for first strikes, it just tells the US "don't hit us because we can really still hit you back".

It's the age old race between offensive and defensive systems.
Specifically, for your case, I'd say no [1]

My son went to college for Physics. I stressed to him that getting a high paying career in Physics with all the competition out there will be like landing a major role in a movie, he'll need to be the best of the best, and still be ready for rejection, possibly putting him into a situation where he'll take any job to stay afloat.

It took him 4 months in college before discovering an Engineering field he was more interested in than Physics. It wasn't my fear-speak that did it, he just discovered how interesting it was on his own and now wants to pursue it.

My sigh of relief could be heard throughout the galaxy.

We are also at a state school and paying all of his college expenses out of pocket except for books and a small stipend of financial aid. So, being in a career that would yield a high paying job after he left school was very important to us.

You’re right, figure 3 doesn’t answer your question. But your point/topic is not addressing my original point. My point above was that income before taxes alone is what you need to evaluate whether the student loan program offsets the student loan default rate. The financial return on investment of the student loan program is determined solely by the increase in income, not the wealth premium.

To address your separate point directly, there are studies that attempt to directly answer the question you’re asking. For example: http://conference.iza.org/conference_files/CoNoCoSk2011/gens...

However, your conclusion isn’t shared by the authors. They show a positive return on college degrees, it’s just smaller than the unadjusted difference in income.

One probable factor for this is cultural bias toward giving jobs to people with degrees, and paying employees more who have degrees. Individual skills alone do not explain the difference in earnings, so despite the fact that talent correllates with income, the correlation is not 1, and thus it is not likely that the same people earn equal or greater without a degree than with. It is likely that the same person without a degree will earn less than with a degree, on average.
networkd, NetworkManager, etc. all integrate into the network-online.target in exactly the same way. There is no favouritism for networkd in particular.

I’m by no means an advanced rider, but I am a rider, and I don’t buy the “pipes save lives” argument in the slightest. The cone of sound goes out the back of your bike when accelerating: pretty much alerting the motorists I’m least worried about to my presence.

I’m way more worried about people doing stupid stuff in front of me than behind me. And when I’m worried about people behind me, I’m mostly worried at stops that someone will rear-end me... when my hypothetical loud pipes would be idling at a purr anyway.

On my very sensible Honda CB500X, I have a quiet exhaust and have a daytime headlight modulator, which I’m positive has caught the attention of distracted motorists. I’d take a very cool and very legal headlight modulator over loud pipes 100 times out of 100.
