>So you mean zero, right? There's no evidence benchmark for a party taking legal action in a civil matter. Saying "you'll be hearing from my lawyer" doesn't strengthen an argument.

In the United States and other common-law legal systems (I don't know about other codes at all) there is the concept of "summary judgement", which would absolutely be invoked if Amazon presented no "no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law" [1]. A summary judgement can be sought with full evidentiary presentation. Amazon's evidence may well be weak, but if they presented "zero evidence" the case wouldn't go to trial at all. It's perfectly reasonable to expect and assume a certain basic level of competence from an established megacorp's legal team. They will have filed a cause of action to which they could at least potentially be entitled relief and assertions of material facts that a jury could at least potentially be convinced by.

So, to respond seriously, I'm somewhat of an artist and I derive a lot of joy from others enjoying my pieces. I assume that's a large part of it, other people just have mediums that are more like "weird programming language tricks" or "cool math". But if someone doesn't like my piece it has very little impact on what I do next, much less my feelings at the time. Some people like stuff, some people don't. But the showing part is necessary for it to be art.

You might well be right that it has to do with getting the approval of strangers (certainly a phenomena for low energy barrier stuff like posting to twitter), but I think I'd give people who put in enough time to figure out how to solve a weird new problem the benefit of the doubt that they want to share it because they find it cool and you share things you think are cool.

But maybe that part of culture has changed, I've only got a little grey in my beard but I don't remember a time when my friends didn't want to show me something they found cool. Maybe the change is just that people see internet strangers as "friends they don't know yet"? I dunno, I gave up on social media because I don't think this is true on those platforms anymore.

So I'd say that, hopefully, whether a stranger approves at the end of your project is besides the point, and the sharing is because you think people who share interests with you will be interested (or possible collaborators, mentors, or mentees!) and you're proud of the quality of your work. It's also useful as an online portfolio if you ever need to find a job to be able to point people at that has lots of posts of professional quality about projects you've done.

This is bizarre. Too much for a souvenir. Too little for industrial use. What an odd thing to do.
Adding negative consequences to "false calls" could have a chilling effect on real calls. You don't want people to have to weigh whether they should try to tough it out and risk heat stroke vs. risk a charged rescue. On balance, it's probably better to have false positives here than false negatives.
Beginner's Guide to Using Node.js and the Express.js Framework
This article is about TMBPF, a BPF, not a BPS. It is also structurally similar to BPA and the article is all about the struggle to effectively determine whether it is safe (and how this struggle has been very open which according to the article is not common for chemical companies). Many toxicity studies have been done and seem promising.
Well, this blog post seems to suggest the blowback from their "we're killing off legacy hardware" was too much that they had to make this blog post.

I hope the blowback doesn't cease and people stop buying Sonos, but maybe I'm just being vindicative. If they stop their greedy policies, that would also make the world a better place.
Replace "upper" with "caffeine" and the absurdity becomes apparent.

"either your performance, judged by coworkers, will be equivalent or below theirs and the stimulant is seen as the only thing keeping you in your job (which can get super depressing internally) - or, if you're doing well in your position, it can breed internal and external doubt as to whether your performance would just be normal and is being boosted by the caffeine."

the difference between them lies only in the degree of effectiveness.

When buying home theater equipment recently I’ve had to make sure it had RCA jacks. Plenty of TVs don’t have them, I think.
You make a good point, but I have a counterpoint...

My Father-in-law had a house built a couple years ago. The guy that did the A/V used the same setup you are talking about (Denon A/V receiver, multi-zone audio for whole house music, IR blaster for A/V system in a cabinet in the next room, 5+1 surround).

They struggle with that system. It required a dedicated smart remote to turn on and control all the gear. But instead of a Logitech Harmony, he used some other brand that "is easier for installers to program". I had to make YouTube videos to remind myself and my FIL how to operate the system, particularly for less used configurations like playing a DVD or playing music on the deck...

I was pretty shocked, because this was basically the A/V setup I had 20 years ago...

My current setup is: Everything goes to the TV (PS4, Chromecast, soundbar), Soundbar is controlled by the TV remote using CEC (Consumer Electronics Control). Most things are controllable by the TV remote.

CEC allows the TV to tell the soundbar to adjust the volume, the Chromecast to pause or play, though that doesn't seem to work when playing DVDs on the PS4, where we use the PS4 remote. CEC can also tell the TV to change inputs, so all I have to do is start casting to the Chromecast and the TV turns on and switches to the right input, turn the PS4 on and ditto, etc...

Music in the bathroom? That's a Google Home. Music in the garage or back patio? That's a Bluetooth Jambox. Though that comes with it's own issues.

Yes, simple is good. But these days I'd call this sort of CEC setup the simpler option. I appreciate the Receiver option, but I'm reluctant to switch away from this setup. I've been wanting to build some kick ass speakers using my woodworking and electronics skills, but I can't bring myself to introduce an amp/receiver to the mix.

Aside: Does anyone know of a CEC controller for embedding into DIY soundbars? They make some that do amp+bluetooth+aux in, but I haven't found one that does HDMI in with CEC.

So I went to Wikipedia and found this definition:

"A lifestyle business is a business set up and run by its founders primarily with the aim of sustaining a particular level of income and no more; or to provide a foundation from which to enjoy a particular lifestyle."

Seems like a useful concept. What's wrong with it?
Hmm, I have no idea what my wpm measure is, but I've never been able to identify with the perception of ADHD being something only low-IQ kids have. People I know with ADHD-symptoms are typically bright and creative, above-average humans.
I just discovered yesterday that I suffer from task anxiety related to ADD/ADHD, after a lifetime of struggling against falling into patterns of depression. It's felt as almost a pain in my gut between my chest and belly whenever I go to start working on something I have to do. I just worked through this series of exercises and it really helped me identify what's actually going on, with some solutions:

Some other keywords to look for are "impossible task" and "executive dysfunction", both maladies being seen predominantly in millennials. I just happened to get them 10 or 20 years ahead of time by starting computers when I was 12 as a Gen Xer.

You know you can request Google scrape your 'static' feed at any interval you like, down to 10 minutes IIRC? Contact the maps-transit team with your feed URL and they'll update it for you.

They only scrape daily by default because some transit providers host their multi-gigabyte GTFS feeds for all bus arrivals for the next century on an ISDN line...
Right, people don’t want to manually patch their speakers, but people probably don’t want to throw them out after a few years either.

In any case, presumably in this proposed scenario secondary service industries would pop up to do this for them/offer ongoing alternatives. Much like computer maintenance and repair.

>Just a reminder: the secret ballot is secret to protect those, whose genuine vote would otherwise be manipulated (/forced/extorted/...)

For mail-in voting (which is how the majority of people in King County vote), what makes the ballot secret? Can someone be forced or extorted to fill in the ballot in front of their persecutor?

>For democracy to function, we need everyone's genuine vote.

I'd honestly like to see anonymous voting in the house and Senate. This would vastly reduce the influence of political parties. Yes, it means that it's harder for constituents to track what their representative actually does, but the way modern politics works, "what their representative actually does" is essentially vote the party line on almost every vote.
It's not a useful truth, at least not in the way you've characterized it.

It think it is much more useful to think of things as they are rather than as what they are not.
In this example:

I think it is more useful to think "what is causing my ADHD behaviour?" Rather than using the explanatory model "I am behaving like this because of ADHD."

The former can lead to finding models that allows one to mitigate ADHD behaviour. The later leads to the same thing over and over.

Are you hinting that I stoped developing as a ten year old?

I get that people expect that. Don't see why it matters in this context.

I guessed that was the case when I wrote about downs syndrome. Lets hope we find good causal models for ADHD to.
From my experience it just creates another question for the interviewer, i.e. "What were you doing during this period?".

Similar to how banks view gaps in employment as additional risk when applying for a mortgage for example (at least in the UK).

I could be ADHD, I hear a lot of stories about people diagnosed as adults. Surely everyone has trouble getting motivated for boring tasks. Surely everyone would benefit from stimulants though? I'm not sure how to tell the difference.
Not sure why the position is relevant, nor do I think Jobs's precedent was relevant.

"a duty of loyalty to the company" - wholly made up. The company has no loyalty to you.

"breached an intellectual property agreement" - this is the meat of the case. The rest is theater, including the subject.

You have skill and talent and you are paid to do a series of tasks. You can capitalize those talents in many ways to make money, working for a company is an option.

If you don't treat your employees well enough, they might leave and might even compete with you. We have laws to enforce this relationship at almost every possible turn. It's REALLY hard to get away with sabotage or inside information without quitting. Having your own LLC is great for a number of personal finance reasons.
Could you explain the link you're making here? As far as I understand four colour theorem was computer assisted proof in the sense that mathematicians wrote a very specific and analytical definition for it in a logical theorem prover.

The linked article is very different right? Because it's using a neural net to do some kind of probabilistic inference as a heuristic for imperfectly stimulating physical events.
Identity and Access Misstep: How an Amazon Engineer Exposed Credentials and More
It sounds like you need to come up with a plan. But in order for any plan to be successful, you should do whatever you can to get your hands on Adderall so that you can be organized and diligent in following your plan (and even with coming up with a reasonable plan in the first place). It's pretty easy to get a prescription-- you can literally just describe various symptoms of ADHD and talk about how you keep experiencing them. Just don't directly mention anything about drugs or ADHD. If the doctor/psychiatrist won't prescribe it to you, then just go to another. It shouldn't take long to find one who will give it to you. If you don't have insurance then try to find one that will let you pay out of pocket. Once you are back on meds you should probably ease your way back into technical work. You might consider taking freelance gigs on Upwork or something, even at low rates, just to get back into the swing of things. Often these gigs can turn into consistent remote working opportunities. Once you are back into the mode of doing technical work on a routine basis, start applying to jobs. Look at the "who is hiring?" threads here on HN. Also, try going to tech meetups for things that you are interested (e.g., Node, Python, etc.) as a way to network. You probably shouldn't tell your whole story to potential employers. Instead, you can say that you felt burned out from overwork and decided to take it easy for a while and focus on yourself. Now that you've rested, you are ready to work again. If you managed to get hired and promoted at a good startup there is absolutely no reason you can't again. You are certainly living in the right place for it, which gives you a huge leg up versus 98% of the coders in the world!
This is definitely worth doing.

It won't protect you from nefarious actors with the data right now, but it will potentially protect you from nefarious actors who may someday get ahold of the db.
My stereo system is from 2003. There is something deeply warped about accepting this idea each electronic product we buy should have a 2-4 year life expectancy.
Your first paragraph is strawmaning. At no point did I demand that you recommend a 100% fix. You made a claim about how the industrial age was the problem. I was trying to make a point that even if true, that doesn't really buy you anything, since we live in the age we live in. If I failed to communicate that well enough, I apologize.

As for the rest, it's hard to know what to make of it. It's like you're building a superpower out of failure to be able to focus when it's necessary to focus. Like if someone couldn't stand still, and you said something like "I bet it's really useful, because you never get stiff, and you burn more calories", but ignoring that it's fucking terrible, because you can't ever sit still even when it would be advantageous to sit still.

Note that executive control is also about planning. Of course it can be useful to rush of without planning, like when being chased by a panther. But it's not a good idea to have a significant deficit in the ability to plan. "Silly bullshit [that] doesn't matter" can mean not having the ability to pay for food, and it can mean having terrible stress over accomplishing trivial tasks (like filing out tax paperwork!).

Anyway. You're welcome to continue to not-buy ADHD, but recognize that people who live with, and who study it, think it's a thing.
That is the new news today. The previous news was they would eventually no longer continue to function, todays announcement reaffirms no new features but now says they are working on a plan to make sure they continue to function with other legacy hardware as they do today.
yes, license plate readers, wifi/bluetooth scanners/loggers, TPMS loggers, facial recognition, etc... all fall in the same category.
It's a more expensive answer, but I run my Apple TV through the HDMI passthrough of my receiver so I can have audio play without the TV actually being on. It's the closest I have come to the Express days. More commonly I just go bluetooth to the receiver as I live in a small apt
I dont understand why we cant look at the person and their merits/experience vs their sex and color of their skin.

Different perspective is good, but sex or skin color should never be a deciding factor.

Both of those things have happened with voting in the past, which is why ballots are secret.

It's perfectly legal to take a selfie at the ballot box showing that you voted a particular way. It's feasible that some party could anonymously pay, say, $20 for every selfie they are sent with the way of voting that they ask for. Sure, it's illegal but so would be doing the same thing if the ballot wasn't secret.
Since the dawn of time people engaging in explaining known facts to others in a compulsive manner have been ridiculed.

As an example see the Colonel Friedrich Kraus von Zillergut character in the "The Good Soldier Švejk".

I'm deliberately referring to this novel, because it makes it easy to see that at all times men have ridiculed the same behavior patterns in other men that feminists now seem to discover.

In addition to that, women, depending on their dominance level, also exhibit the behavior of explaining widely known facts.

So the proper term should be dominant-and-narrow-minded-splaining.
I expect that this is a difficult thing to market, since most people probably don't realize that the thing they did wasn't a "complete" sequence.

"Remember the thing we sold you before? Well, it wasn't that great. But now it is. Give us more money?"

The "town" at the base of it is called Frenchglen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenchglen,_Oregon - it has a little store and hotel.

From there it's about an hour to the nearest town with any kind of services like a hospital https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns,_Oregon - there are about 5000 people in the area.

From there it's another 2.5 hours, roughly (in good weather) to where I live which is a town of nearly 100K.

A major issue with relying on drivers is that if the real-time position of a driver is known, you can see both what they're doing and what they're not doing. Which is bad if you want to get away with, say, taking longer breaks than you're supposed to.

Anecdotally, at a local system I once used there was an issue where drivers were intentionally not turning on the locating tracking, or configuring it incorrectly, because of this.
Someone correct me if my anecdotal memory is wrong, but didn't Bianchi ask their customers for color preference and then sell the least liked color to great success?
So true! It would be reasonable if they said that only the newer devices get the newest features.

Instead, they chose to upgrade all devices until they are maxed out and then turn around to their pioneering customers telling them they need to buy new hardware just so that they can keep development costs low.
Good baiting to gauge how many MBA/VC types are lurking....they can't resist!
My family has a Sony receiver bought in 1966. It works great with sources from phonograph to smartphone. There is no feeling of anything disappearing, on the contrary it is a device which is extremely pleasant to use and otherwise unthought of. Tuning its radio using a heavily weighted and lightly damped knob is faster than digital, the power-on latency is a few milliseconds, and most sources can be selected with a single press instead of scrolling an endless, feelless knob like many modern models.

Who is making receivers now that people will enjoy in 2073?
I really don’t get why people want Sonos speakers in the first place. Linking together two pieces of technology with different lifespans just seems silly.

Speakers are mature hardware. Sound is not going to get better any time soon. They’ve been about as good as they can be for decades. A good speaker and amp might last you 25 years or more. WiFi/AirPlay/etc is new and changing. Don’t put these two together in an inseparable product!

It’s probably the reason Apple never released that smart TV everyone was expecting - it’s just better to have a TV that you can keep for years + a less expensive box you can replace as technology changes.
if he is, this is probably just a negotiating tactic, everyones playing hardball, what fun

1. Anyone who has rightfully-obtained access or knowledge of any such evidence is most likely obligated (legally or otherwise) to keep it secret.

Given #1, asking for evidence isn't the most salient question. Since it can really only be speculation, the most interesting questions probably start with "Given what we know, what is most likely?"
