The high level of narration makes me suspicious that this might be reading into things a liiiitle too much. I think this is mostly a non-story that got written up anyway. Let's investigate their investigation.

As they mention briefly, it was a tiny Walmart, in a land pockmarked with lots of huge walmarts. There's, I dunno, maybe 20 Walmarts in the area: https://imgur.com/a/M6mX97Q

The closest Walmart is now a 23 minute drive away. For most people in New Hampshire a 23 minute drive is nothing, I can only imagine its even less of an issue in Texas. I suspect a lot of the employees still have jobs with Walmart,
just working at different stores. And of course its the biggest employer in the town, it probably still is!

So I think the premise is a bit of a canard and the writeup is weak.

> Some former workers from the Edna store have told friends that the drive to their new jobs has been wearing on their cars and the cost of gas was eating into their wages.

Eehhh. I suspect most people in tiny Texas towns commute lots, just like in NH.

> This fall, Edna received a pleasant surprise. Sales tax revenue did not drop the way city officials feared it would after Walmart left. To many, the numbers showed that Edna’s retail stores had filled the void.

> “People learned they need to shop at home,” said Mr. Hermes, the former mayor.

Oh hm, wait a minute, maybe there is a story here!

> The revenue numbers also likely include the purchases Edna residents made on Amazon and other large e-commerce sites.

Oh, never mind!
I think the idea is to do better than glasses for AR (less obtrusive), which is what the market currently is selling. Of course there are plenty of cons — you’ll have to wear something to get data to it somehow, losing one is an expensive proposition, and people who don’t wear glasses already likely won’t go for contacts.

“not sure how I feel about a transmitter right on my eyeball, high power broadcasts can cause cataracts fast, presumably low ones over extended periods would too.”

Where is this data? And what assumptions are you making?
Most important question: what does your friend want to do that he can't? You're describing his limitations, not his goals. Does he want to read, but not write? A Kindle might be better than an iPad - longer battery life. Does he want to read, but not have to raise his arm to do the page turn? Then back to iPad but using a switch device that can be operated from one finger.

I'm not explaining this well, because I'm a technologist, not a therapist: in the UK the role would be "Occupational Therapist". However, in my experience, they are focused on improvement and the regaining of function: only when this avenue is exhausted will they begin to look at assistive technology. But I am probably being unfair.

That's not much of a problem

It certainly is a problem if they can infect others during that interval.

Since you mention the Arduino, when you start out with it, you're most likely turning on digital pin e.g. D7 with digitalWrite(7, true), it's easy to understand and quick to implement.

But spend enough time on the Arduino (or C or Assembly or embedded in general) and you'll soon realize that all that function call is doing is basically the same as doing PORTD |= 0x80. That's a bit tougher to understand, but even quicker to implement, and once you've understood how that all works together, a lot of everything about computers and digital electronics becomes so much easier to understand.

Here's a more detailed guide for the Arduino example: https://www.instructables.com/id/Fast-digitalRead-digitalWri...
They also ban import/export of gold. Their national currency has inflation problems.

What do you do when you lose your house key or car key?
Sure, but you wouldn't teach them the alphabet starting with 'q'.

The list on the index page starts with 0, if nothing else it would be more consistent to start the counting section with 0 as well (FWIW I agree with the OP, I'm teaching my toddler to count starting with 0).

This is indeed exactly what I was trying to say, thank you :)))
There are people (not me) who want smart glasses, and there are also people (not me) who choose regular contact lenses over regular glasses. It's literally the conjunction of 2 existing use cases?
It's always hilarious to read the ever-puzzling reply that you see here, which is basically "Why don't you just manually re-build this design into every single application you've ever written, repeating yourself and scope for bugs 50x over, while I also ignore all other possible design constraints", and it never ceases to amaze me. The idea that a better abstraction for a component could exist or should be explored is strictly verboten.
I'd argue that modern GPUs pipelines are quite different from the API programming models they support, especially tile based renderers do lots of funny things while maintaining the illusion that you are running on the abstract OpenGL pipeline.

So even with GPUs you have a similar situation..
I'm actually part of the team developing the new PubMed. Very curious and interested to know what the hacker news community thinks and feels about their experience. https://pubmed.gov/labs
There is plenty of evidence showing that huge gaps in equality are highly correlated with increased unhappiness at both ends of the spectrum, along with other negatives like increased crime. Humans are social animals, so a part of living standards will always be around power structures and fairness. You can't just give people at the bottom nice things to erase that.
From security point of view it would have been an improvement.
> that implies there's some sort of authority - legal or otherwise - that determines "socially valuable."

Well, we already have a system that rewards “valuable” contributions: Money.

Just a lot of people don’t like that system much, as it turns out that system places little value on childcare, elder care and teaching; and huge value on executives who are fired for sexual harassment. Which doesn’t line up very precisely with a lot of people’s personal values.
I think if 2016 and the events since have taught us anything, it's that there are a lot of willing audiences we didn't realize existed (or had blissfully lied to ourselves that they no longer existed)
Looks like someone elsewhere in the comments did the math, it is absolutely true. Cars literally use precious metals to catlyze pollutants form a highly refined fuel source, controled for a perfect stociometric burn in real time while ships... well they just belch it out. If you think the two are even nearly equal you are uninformed about how cars work, how ships work, or likely both.
The latter. The 4th volume of lamrim (by tsong-kha-pa) is a good summary with references to other books. That volume has been translated into English and us called "discerning the real" or something like that.

Tsongkhapa gives a reference to a more detailed "manual" called "the 10 levels of sravakas", but that book hasn't been translated, although Max Muller made some initial sketches.
>In modern world, any sufficiently complicated C or C++ program embeds a runtime of some higher level language. More often than not, that language is formally specified, well-supported, and fast.

More often than not? Almost none of the languages mentioned are "formally specified", and most of them are hardly fast either...
Great, pubmed and other NCBI resources are long due for a redesign.

There's over 100 pages of material here. Why has this been submitted? What's interesting in it?

These type of submissions attract the worst commentators; people who will talk about the topic based on what they can infer from a title. Mostly just rehashing some personal anecdote or curious fact semi-related to the title.

Not sure I want to invest so many hours of reading to get to why this was posted. Maybe the OP could provide some context?

Brought representative democracy to France, made life far better for your average person, directly can be tied to Code Napoléon being enacted across France, sparked democratic revolutions globally that had lasting impacts that can still be felt today...I'd say pretty well. Definitely no worse than the American Revolution.

The deaths of the ruling class were unfortunate, but didn't necessarily outweigh the benefits.

A modern version of the French Revolution is far more desirable than allowing the planet to be made uninhabitable by the actions of the ruling class, for example.
I get the point of being able to measure success by something quantifiable, but the emphasis on individuals needing to prove the impact they’ve made strikes me as an odd setup.

I’ve never worked at a FAANG but currently at a F100 in fintech, and as the product manager for our team, part of my role is to make sure our team is doing work that has quantifiable value.

But for ICs on the team they’re not penalized if I make the wrong decisions and lead the team down a negative path (however part of my role in being successful is making our team goals transparent to all the team so they can help course correct if my thinking is way off).
> Install solar + battery

Do you have battery and solar installed? You must be one privileged person. I have never once lived anywhere where I could even if I had the money to. Most people in the world do not live in free standing houses and I would hazard a guess that most countries in the world do not have open grids where you can choose who you buy electricity from.

> Petrol cars commuting every day

Most people in the world don't own cars.

> 'Free shipping' and 'Cheap flights' vs Learn actual costs

Eh, I mean, what? Are you saying people do not know what they are paying for flights? Because, eh, I do know what I pay for flights.

Are you saying online retailers should online retailers not be able to offer free shipping or they should tell you how much the shipping would have cost if it was not free? Why?

What is happening here?

The article briefly mentions Roerich as a painter, but it's worth noting that he really was an amazing and important painter. It's worth an image search to see some of his work. Also, there's a small museum dedicated to his work on 107th street in NYC and it's one of my favorite places.

That’s clearly not true, at least in the US. Total compensation has outpaced inflation significantly.

There were quite a few RPGs-in-book-form. I had a Middle-Earth one that involved delving solo into the Mines of Moria. But Fighting Fantasy seems to be the best-known, and may have been the first.
I think we also choose our favorite programming languages based on our psychology, not only the technical features.

The ones who like C and C++ are like Toretto from the Fast and Furious franchise choosing a classic muscle car for a race. They are super fast, give you much more options, but because of that, they are not the safest.

A muscle car requires more skill to drive and win than a modern fast-shiny-and-safe car. But because you know they are more dangerous to drive, is likely that you will try to improve your skills to make it less likely to have an accident with it.

Thats one of the reasons why im still skeptic to jump into the Rust bandwagon, once you turn into a good muscle car driver, its hard to choose for safer but more limiting options, but you totally get it why someone without experience in fasters cars would choose for the safer version.

His assessment in the Tesla report:

"As a result of this examination, it is my considered opinion that there exist among Dr. Tesla's papers and possessions no scientific notes, descriptions of hitherto unrevealed methods of devices, or actual apparatus which could be of significant value to this country or which would constitute a hazard in unfriendly hands. I can therefore see no technical or military reason why further custody of the property should be retained."
Same thing just happened to me just this week, I wasn't checking voicemails because I get too many spam calls / spam messages and I almost got withdrawn from Graduate School because of it -- (I needed to verify a term break and since I never did, automatic withdraw initiated.)

Sorted it out, but barely. Very frustrating to have that sort of outcome from the root cause of phone spammers.
Don't forget about the annual max gift tax limit (15k for 2020). Your father could reasonably gift you 15k a year (possibly another 15k to your spouse if you happen to be married) to reduce his savings a tiny bit quicker, so medicaid kicks in a bit sooner. At that point you could maybe even claim your parent as a dependent, and help him pay for his medical costs (which I think you can also deduct?).

I'm not sure on the particulars, and certainly don't take the above as any kind of financial advice -- I just started looking into this for an aging parent myself. Though, it might be worth talking to an accountant and see what is applicable for your location.
even if it's not the biggest improvement, it's a big and an easy one that can be done in parallel with others.
I think a link to the Readme.md might be more useful because it explains in detail what it is, why you might find it useful, and how to use it. The Readme.md contains a link to the sandbox fairly early on, but the sandbox doesn‘t seem to provide an easy way to get to the documentation (language info, API info, etc).
I can honestly say that C++ exceptions have never, in decades, cost me a single hour's lost sleep. If you have any trouble with them, I promise that you are Doing It Wrong. You can tell you are Doing It Wrong if it is not super-easy and super-clean.

The key is to make sure all your cleanup code is in destructors where it will be exercised frequently as part of the normal operation of your program. In the event an exception is thrown, a bunch of destructors run, as usual, and your program ends up in a known clean state, with no extra effort.
The doctors might be at the same level, but do they have the same access to resources?
I can tell you from experience that an average doctor in a backwater county of Arkansas is better than an average doctor in the capital city of Laos.
Well, worrisome ... but probably very significant for when the tech matures into “non-lethal“ [sic] forms in 50-100 years.

Definitely interesting.
> from an SDR to an SDR directly

That wasn't actually stated. Maybe OP has a bunch of laptops with WiFi cards and no access point and wants to broadcast data to them with the laptops listening in monitor mode. Or maybe OP has a bunch of laptops connected to an access point and wants to broadcast to them using IP multicast. Or maybe OP really does have a bunch of software-defined radios and wants to directly encode UDP packets into IQ samples. Don't you think those would be three very different solutions?
We have agreement with the following countries. (Vietnam isn't one of them)

https://www.ssa.gov/international/agreements_overview.html

In a nutshell, all national pension systems work pretty much the same way in that, the longer you put into it, the more you get out. There is also minimum that you have to put in. For the U.S., it's 40 points (or 10 years).

Let's say you work 9 years in the U.S. but then decide to pack your stuff up and move to one of the above listed countries. You will get credit for 9 years worth of work and not have to start over in your new country (and the other way around too)

I'm actually conflating two different topics... one is reciprocal arrangement in terms of pension point system.

Another is, just being able to collect pension from abroad, which is actually not a big deal at all.

Gibson's Law: If a shatterable business card is introduced in Act I, it will be sat upon and shattered by Act III.
Well, it is discriminatory pricing. If someone isn’t saying it is too expensive you haven’t priced the product aggressively enough. In the US market the profit was maximized at 100k, in other markets the profit is maximized at a lower price level because almost no one can afford 100k.

Don't the bottom of society all have access to the advancements in technology now e.g. 4g, high speed internet, smart phones, mobile apps, video games

I agree that concrete objects are easier to teach concepts with. I taught two elementary classes the basics of Scratch programming several weeks back. I made a whole bunch of props to start with before I even turned on the computer. That was what really made the difference. It was something they could connect with.
Yeah, it's mostly wireless carriers at least for now. Already T-Mobile and I think ATT are rolling this out to consumers, called Certified Caller ID I think. However, the FCC is coming down hard on all carriers for this. I don't know if there's any fines for not having it implemented, but I know Chairman Pai said he expected it to be implemented this year. Obviously, telecom moves slow and it's not possible for all carriers. Even some SBCs I'm sure don't support it (specialized call handling hardware). It will be interesting what kind of legal requirements they put in place with regards to this. I think they will try to strong arm all carriers soon.
Wait I'm confused. You are teaching them to count the first item as "zero"? So if there are 3 apples, you have them say "zero, one, two"?

(FYI, I wasn't defending the zero on the right decision, I would prefer zero on the left)
They also want to be able to afford housekeepers, gardeners, and cooks at a rate so low they can afford to have all three and still come out cheaper than having one of those in the US.
The price seems ridiculous though. $2700?! Exactly what kind of audience is this geared towards?
That guy must have been incredibly lucky with the timing.

When I researched housing prices in the nice areas of Saigon in 2018, 50 square meter 1 bedroom apartments were sold at $300,000+. And "sold" here means you rent it perpetually from the development company to circumvent that 50-year land ownership limit. But that can put you at risk in case said company folds.

Oh and I've also heard a lot of stories about Vietnamese women becoming rather disenchanted of hip cool American backpackers, the latter of which presumably read articles like this and decided to try their luck. The backpacker area of Saigon is considered more like a slum that you try to avoid at night.

One other thing that the article dangerously omits is the fact that food hygiene and/or safety testing is still pretty much non-existent even in the richest parts of Vietnam. If you're old, a bad food poisoning could well kill you. And in Vietnam, you'll probably have one per year. That said, food is super tasty and impossibly cheap.

Most problems solved with technology are like this, stringing together the right libraries with a thin layer of business logic.

However many startups or research-oriented technology development will require some part of your stack to be reinvented from scratch to solve whatever problem is the premise of the business.
In these situations it becomes clear pretty quickly who is comfortable solving technology problems from first principles, situations that these educational exercises are aiming towards.
This is the the wrong way to look at the data. You should follow individuals over 20 years, not class segments. Individuals who start at the bottom may move up over time even as new individuals join at the bottom.
I assume your bank has a physical place you can go to in order to get another token and you have a proper business relationship with them and somebody will ID you.

But many other sites have no other alternatives to recover so the recovery codes are a nice solution.
