No wonder! You definitely want disc brakes on an e-bike. Rim brakes are unsafe due to the increased weight of the bike and generally higher speeds.
There exist good solutions, but none of these companies have the competence or will to actually solve the problem. It’s security theatre a la malware. “Hey everyone install this rootkit to pretend like we’re preventing cheaters. Don’t worry about the keylogging and screenshot uploading.”

What’s most surprising is that the vast majority of gamers aren’t outraged by this at all, despite repeated demonstrations of untrustworthiness by anticheat companies.

It's tempting to say "well it's just because of Amazon and Newegg", but Best Buy and (from what I've heard) Microcenter are doing just fine. I'd be really curious to see a post-mortem on what went wrong at Fry's.
No, they’re talking about writing netcode in such a way that if you report to the server that you’re in position XYZ, then it’ll cull all player-events invisible to players at position XYZ out of the event stream being sent to your client.

So if someone robs a bank, uses a cell phone to contact a driver who is in a getaway car....

Can the bank sue the gun manufacturer the robber used?

Can the bank sue the cell phone company the robber used to contact his driver?

Can the bank sue the automobile manufacturer for allowing this robber a method to escape?

Can the bank sue the company who created the roads he drove on to escape?

I get it, the music industry is dying and they need some way to recoup the profits. Rather than be innovative and come up with a new method to distribute their music that people would be willing to use vs a torrent site, the record companies would rather extend copyright another 100 years and cling to old profits.

Going after the individual who downloaded the copyrighted material, who probably has no money to begin with, would be a waste of time/effort so they have successfully sued an ISP.

Same experience with Chicago (Elston) and Rockville, MD Micro Center stores. The employees are helpful and knowledgeable, I've found prices to be good, and being able to bring something home in your own vehicle is also valuable. That's opposed to waiting for it to be tossed onto your porch from across the yard or just simply stolen.

I actually purchased a 34" ultrawide monitor from the Rockville store recently specifically because it was the best price I could find at the time, and I went and got it the same day.

Went to a Fry's way out in the burbs of Chicago long ago, in the mid 2000s or so, it was pretty lively then. Not even sure if that one is still around.

There even used to be a TigerDirect location just south of Micro Center on Elston for a while. In my mind they always competed with NewEgg though and looks like NewEgg won out. I don't think the physical location was around that long. Might have even been a CompUSA around there too if I remember correctly.
I agree that the current EU limits are overly strict, but it's also true that powerful ebikes can accelerate unexpectedly quickly, moreso than is safe for many inexperienced riders or those around them.

Allowing for more powerful motors is fine, and up to 30km/h for top speed is fine, but I think instant acceleration should be the thing that's somewhat more limited than now.
E. coli and salmonella aren't plant diseases. They make humans sick, not plants. Plant diseases are stuff like pseudocercospora, which are on track for eradicating the most common bananas grown today, despite attempts at quarantining affected regions to stop the disease from spreading.

>Insurance companies have very little/not at all influence over prescribing patterns of physicians.

Walk into any physician office and ask them how many faxes they get everyday from pharmacists requests the Dr. change their prescription. Then ask the pharmacists what triggers them faxing requests to the Dr.'s requesting change in therapies...hint: insurance companies dictate to the pharmacists their recommendations for Docs.

Edit: I should have noted the "tips". When a pharmacist faxes a Doc a recommendation the pharmacy gets a "tip" and if the Doc actually makes the change, then the pharmacy gets a 2nd "tip." In my experience the Doctors have no idea pharmacists are paid by insurance for recommendations and changes.
This is exactly right. The UI in cars is terrible. The Tesla UI is top notch.

I even implemented one of the UI elements in my sass application. I can't imagine saying that about any other car "infotainment" system.

It is really nice to have maps/nav/spotify NOT dependent on my phone or even my phone's cellular connection. There is zero latency from the time I sit down in the driver's seat until I am ready to go. Nothing to connect. Nothing to boot. No apps to open up.

I walk up to my car. Open the door. Sit down. Push a button on the steering wheel. Say "Drive home". Push down on the "stalk" (turn signal, but on the right). And press the accelerator. No key or fob. No ignition. No gear shift.
Nations are highly complex systems. All the different 'parts' interact with one another to some extent. Thus when you double a nation's size, the number of interacting 'parts' will exponentially increase. All of these interactions can pose potential problems, or opportunities, but what's clear is that you can't linearly extrapolate one nation's experiences across nations of different sizes.
Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your story with such honesty!

There are easy businesses, and there are hard businesses. Your business fell in the latter category, but your tactics to succeed were based on easier businesses. I still think you could have succeeded if you persisted and weren't so eager to get sales and play startup.
Gab has had that in Dissenter (with no arbitrary censorship of comments) for a while- https://dissenter.com/
While not a unicorn, this could potentially succeed as an indie-hacker sized project. One potential business strategy could be a high-level information hub - a weekly blog + podcast for example. Each week look at a different drug or illness, look at all the relevant papers, do a short statistical analysis, and summarize. Then get some patreons, run ads, maybe sponsorships for particular drugs, etc. I think there's a lot of math geeks out there that would find this useful/interesting enough to follow on a regular basis, even if just to see what's going on in the healthcare space.
Nothing is completely secure, if you find a WASM escape you can trigger from JS within Ducktape it wouldn't be secure for example.

That, and your other questions, are the important questions that noise about saving legacy jobs distracts from. And mostly it's just noise; the people arguing against those who dare to talk about how to manage the transition with fantasies about avoiding it altogether invariably fail to save the jobs, they just prevent the creation of structures to assure that some of the gains from the transition go to ease the effects on those displaced.

It's an excellent write up and there's great lessons in there for all of us. And, it's great that he started talking to actual doctors, if only he had done that first. I know i've made that mistake many times.

As for the medical industry: the idea is to keep people sick as long as possible. You can't make money from people who get better or people who die.

Yes, you are technically free to call people jerks as long as you are OK with the consequences, which may include getting fired. The government cannot put filters in front of people's mouths, thankfully.

Repeated and intentional misgendering is similar to racial or ethnic slurs, which also don't belong in professional settings and will ideally also get you fired.

Personally I think the Catholic Church is a great force of evil, but I keep those opinions to myself at work out of respect for my Catholic coworkers. You are free to believe whatever you want about how nonbinary people are just seeking attention or whatever, but you shouldn't misgender people at work.

Who's forcing folks to use gender neutral pronouns "at all times"? You only have to use them for people who have requested it.

The 0.6% number is commonly quoted but is very dubious, since it doesn't account for people who may not be out due to social stigmatization. The real number of people who would be happier with a non-cis identity is probably much higher, somewhere around 5-10% by my estimate.

The "review" is based on the author's skewed view of the world.

The AtomPi is basically a cheap SBC with standard hardware (off the shelf Debian etc. can run on it, or Win 10 with some limits). Cost is cheap.

The author seems to be complaining that the hardware doesn't match his expected profile of a Rpi killer type SBC...maybe he's upset about the deception around the kickstarter, dunno.

There's nothing wrong with the product for hardware hackers... sure, it's not something you can use if you want to maintain the ability to mass produce whatever you're designing... like about 0.01% of all Rpi users do.

Repurposing of computer hardware that was manufactured for another purpose and purchased surplus is not only environmentally sound, but it's a win for all parties.

There are repeated events in the last 30 years that show products like this gaining a cult following and selling out on Ebay just because they're a good value... like any of the set-top boxes that were loss leaders for subscription services, but got turned in to Linux boxes, robots, etc.

That line stood out to me also. Anyone who feels that the primary goal of healthcare in the US is to improve health outcomes is incredibly naive about how this industry (which is over 20% of the us economy) works. There is only one group in the entire industry which has an incentive to keep people healthy (insurance) and that is the most hated of the bunch!

Fry’s in Alpharetta is one step away from being a Brandsmart. The store is lackluster and not stocked very well. Thankfully I moved close to a Microcenter. It’s rare you can beat Microcenter’s Intel cpu prices for non-niche cpus.

The employees at both places are only really knowledgeable about gaming stuff. As soon as I ask them about other things they have a deer in headlights look.
That’s already often done at some level, but doesn’t eliminate the ability to cheat via aim bots (and other similar tools).

> Testing for legal and somewhat socially tolerated substances is an encroachment of civil liberties.

I don't agree. The government isn't involved here at all, so no civil liberties are being encroached. On the contrary, requiring that companies hire people even if they smoke is an encroachment on the company owners' civil liberties. For something as clearly optional and harmful both to the smoker and their coworkers, I don't think being a smoker is worthy of having protected class status.

You are free to smoke; they are free to not hire you for smoking; and you are free to not work for them due to their policies. This seems like a fine situation to me.
I actually wonder why this isn't done.

Pre-rendering the scenes on the server and then sending those is just not really possible today due to latency -- even google can't get it right with Stadia so far.

But, if the game engine/server just crunched the line-of-sight numbers and didn't even send location data for rendering enemies that were out of LOS, then that would work and while it is heavier than doing nothing, it isn't really that heavy.

That wouldn't stop an aimbot, but it would prevent some classes of exploits.

The one near Indianapolis is like that, too. I'd never been in one before (none anywhere near me in Michigan), and was excited to experience it when vacationing with my family last year.

> You and I have discussed Apple and iOS before, more than once. It seems I just happen to recall them better.

Not to slight you personally, I just don't pay attention to usernames in online discussion forums for the most part so that contextualization and framing is lost on me. It's rare that I take not of a username or think "oh it's that guy".

> Phrases like “hater” (and it’s opposite pejorative, “fanboy”) are unhelpful.

I would disagree. While they might be inaccurate labels, however they succinctly communicate the perception of the person using the label.

Saying "you think I'm an Apple hater" conveys the same sentiment as "I get the impression that, after you having looked through my comment history, you think that I am irrationally prejudiced against Apple Products".
I wonder how you might feel about your car if you are caught in the middle of an emergency (earthquake, fire, take your pick) and your car has 60 miles if range left, you are at work and have to drive home and evacuate your family.

Eric Chahi (and Jordan Mechner) undoubtedly have genius-level IQs which is to say that they stood apart even in that time period.

The more important thing to note is that the brutal constraints of the day and the extremely high bar to entry acted like a pre-sorting mechanism but also fueled the best and brightest to exceed their perceived limitations and unleash their creativity.

Compare and contrast with today, where the low bar to entry has led to a proliferation of garbage-level work (on all levels, not just games) that tends to not only drastically decrease SnR but calibrate the "standard". When everything looks like mediocre garbage, this is what everyone expects.
Pharmacy benefit managers are middlemen who often dictate which drugs are available to a plan, and have been implicated in pushing more expensive alternative drugs in collusion with manufacturers desires to push certain lines for profit.

They are also basically under the radar in the stream of third party companies 'providing benefits'.
Cities need to remove car lanes and add protected bike lanes to really increase adoption. Most parents would not let their kids ride on the road with cars. The car always wins and cars are very dangerous. As far as the schools--they used to be smaller and more local. Now schools always seem to be built on the periphery of a town, take up a massive amount of space and are pretty much designed only for cars/busses. Cars cause cities to be built in ways that are only car-friendly. Hopefully e-bikes provide a revolution in that regard to make other forms of transit equally viable.

Practical Polytheism
Hmm. For my part, as a frequent bicycle rider, I really hate e-bikes. The reason is that it feels like I have much, much less control over speed.

Especially in situations where there's a lot of traffic or when for safety purposes one needs to ride slowly (e.g., in a shared-use space where there are also pedestrians around, like a college campus or something), being able to bike slowly is really nice.

On a real bike, I can bike slowly just by gearing down and pedaling very slowly. But on an e-bike, any pedaling at all makes it zip forward. I find that, frankly, terrifying, like I'm about to plow into cars or objects all the time, or I'm just riding the brakes.
Feels more like 5 years away to me as many of those points are already progressing/are close to success. If you compare to the last decade (for exampet the rise of Bitcoin, Quantum Computing), we can expect many more unexpected discoveries that will change the way we live.
I frequent the Duluth, GA location. MicroCenter has excellent deals if you're building a machine, and they're more or less filling the DIY electronics hole that RadioShack left. The "Maker" department is magical.

Amazon returns are nice, but store warranties are where MicroCenter shines. When my Samsung SSD died after six months, I waited weeks for the manufacturer to ship me a replacement. I've gone with store warranties since then; if something breaks they'll just hand you a replacement off the shelf.
