"they"?

What makes you certain progressives will control election infrastructure?

And the same officials who would set the text of the app currently oversee the descriptions of the issues on the ballot that each voter gets. Can you point to a single case of any progressive politician using their power to manipulate those descriptions?

I don't believe any politician has done so in the last 50 years, from either party. Do you have evidence that I'm wrong, or do you have any other evidence that the election infrastructure being so blatantly abused is at all plausible?

This doesn't seem to apply to mid size networks and smaller.

For example, when tree falls and blocks a road, in a midsize network there'll probably be one admin-person in the office who decides what to do about it. Usually they'll just print off a paper sign saying "All services to X won't go past Y today", then ask a driver of another service to put that sign at each stop. They'll log into the website and put a banner at the top saying the same, and they'll ring the local radio station to announce it.

At no point does that info ever go into a computer in a machine-parsable form. Even if it did, timetables are probably saved in a big MS Word document.

Thanks for this! Seeing how a color interacts with other colors is really crucial for appreciating it.

I get why it failed market research, it's surprisingly bold for such a drab color. Which I think makes for an interesting feeling because I find drab and bold to be antithetical to each other, yet this color manages to be both.

Also, it feels neither warm nor cool, which is also a little off-putting. I was playing around with making the grey banner at the top a more warm grey, and it was terrible, but I went with an even cooler grey, and it was still terrible. The most complimentary color I found was something around #dedfd9, and it's still merely, not terrible.

It does kind of remind me of an old Gameboy, especially with the sepia picture of you.
I use Sonos with a traditional hi-fi system via their connect box (now replaced by the way too high priced port). The only reason is that Sonos is the only system in the world that lets me play different Spotify songs in different rooms from 1 spotify account.

> SNP analysis is useful, but leaves out a lot of important variation

That's true of everything in medicine, especially without SNP analysis. And it'll remain true even with whole genome sequencing.

I think the biggest problem is that until now medicine has revolved around the study and treatment cohorts. Even once we identify the variations, we still need to develop particularized treatments. It requires a tremendous shift in how medicine has been practiced. I think that's what 23andMe was hoping to bootstrap, and why they're not shy about sharing their database with researchers.

Moving from traditional medicine to individual treatment will be done incrementally--splitting what was once a monolithic group into ever smaller subgroups until, eventually, centuries from now, everyone receives tailored treatment. SNPs can still be useful because we're still transitioning from treating monolithic groups, so the variations missed by SNPs are details that we would be unable to leverage, anyhow. The state-of-the-art is always light years ahead of what we can manage to operationalize at scale. Isn't this the lesson so many startups have to learn? On the ground, the real value add always comes in figuring out to make some new technique useful and profitable, and for various reasons it's usually the case that the techniques are already ancient by the time they see substantial use in the market.
When I worked at Apple there was mandatory training on non-compete, which included a lesson example that it would be in violation to create an iPhone app for gardening. Nuvia's genesis seems egregious in comparison. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I’m not sure where we are in disagreement.

Rich people don’t become rich without first paying income taxes. Sure, once they have wealth, they mostly pay capital gains tax but if you and I have the same definition of rich, to sustain a luxurious life off investments alone, you had to have paid millions in income taxes which is more than most people will pay in their entire working years.

Additionally, turning $100K into $600K in two years is not as easy as you’re portraying it to be.

I wonder whether I have mild ADHD but I'm not sure whether I'm just young - and not willing to use the NHS to find out. (or ADHD-ish but not actually "ill", for want of a better term).

I can relate to the symptoms on the NHS website (for adults) but I'd rather not self-diagnose. One thing that doesn't seem to fit is that I can focus very hard (by my standards at least) (for short periods of time) on things but not things I actually need to focus on - I always have about 9 books open at the same time, physically or virtually, constantly skipping between them (sometimes literally, sometimes on "academic" timescales i.e. a day). This stops me from sleeping which is probably partly why I can be very neurotic. Who needs sleep when you could be reading a FEA textbook.

I have never done as expected on a formal exam - I can't seem to put the effort despite wanting to, but I think that is part arrogance and part personality in the sense that I can't take it seriously enough. Attention to detail and time management, usually.

I have now realised that I made it about ~100 internalized words into the article before zoning out but I have managed to write this without making any new tabs.

Just because you don't have anecdotes on your hand doesn't mean that's not the case. I don't know what your definition of "long-term" is, but ultiple specialists I have seen over the years happened to mention that they have patients who have been pretty much on the same stimulant prescription for ADD for 10+ years. I didn't reach that number of years yet, but I am getting close though. Once the specialist finds the drug and dosage that works for you, there should be pretty much no need for any changes to prescription or dosage. That seems to be pretty sustainable to me.

I have sympathy to those who hung on to being a Quora employee for so long and their stock options have been 'possibly' lost. Instead of focusing on profitability, Quora has now realised later in its VC fundraising, it needs to turn a profit; demanded by investors. I kind of closed my account after their data breach but still, I'm struggling to reason why Quora exists when they keep taking VC financing.

This risk of doing this continuously is surrendering small amounts of ownership to VCs and diluting the company stock so many investors can control the direction of the company or pull out if they want to, meaning no huge stock return to the founders and employees if they have raised too much.

Perhaps my deep learning crystal ball doesn't seem to be faulty on this. It still appears to forecast a demand of VCs pressuring unprofitable VC funded startups to show evidence of profits and rising revenues or face the music. This article mentions this problem in more depth [0]

it's ultimately probably not important, but I would think that it's at least something to be curious about.
I've taken stimulants, both Adderall and Ritalin and I can't stand the way they makes me feel. I don't have a very severe problem though but I do struggle sometimes with procrastination.
He touches upon it in the "Runtime Overhead" section, but I think when calling Go from C like this you loose a lot of the goodness of Goroutines, and any code making heavy use of Goroutines could become seriously problematic.

In native Go, Goroutines are very lightweight and cooperatively scheduled. In a CGo env I believe they each have an OS thread and a full stack. Source: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/the-cost-and-complexity-o...
Most likely stuff like DirectX 12, or third-party middleware without viable MacOS or Linux support.

The deprecation of OpenGL on MacOS is another barrier for that platform - you either have to buy GL-on-Metal middleware from someone or write a new Metal renderer. If the % of customers on Mac is small enough I can understand just opting to drop that platform.

Hard to say re:Linux, though. Maybe they get more customer service burden out of maintaining Linux support than they do revenue. It's common to hear that from indie game developers, though some developers say the opposite.

EDIT: Also just occurred to me that Valve's ongoing Proton efforts have resulted in Windows Rocket League working okay on Linux: https://www.protondb.com/app/252950
As a result the devs may have decided it's better to just leave Linux to third parties. Some of the reviews claim Windows-via-Proton is faster than the official Linux port!
Overprescription? It is so damned hard to get stimulant medications (patients don't even dare ask for fear of being labeled "drug seeking") that even people who need them badly have a hard time getting them.

So, no, it does not seem like a "a pharmaceutical spiral brought on by a sick process", whatever the blazes that means.
Can’t you just get tap water in the toilet?

At least that‘s what I do when I‘m going out dancing I buy one drink and the rest of the night it‘s tap water for me. In a theme park I probably could bring my water bottle.
The flip side is being stuck in a high paying job that requires me to take stims and feeling like I have to in order to keep making good money and it really sucks to be honest, the older you get the more of a toll it takes and I am afraid that I am shaving years off of my life just for money but I have bills to pay D:
Do you use any emacs key bindings in that IDE?
Ah, I was using the webapp which doesn't have that functionality. Hmm, it appears the Android app is no longer in the play store. There's a dead link and a GH issue with no comments for two years.

I'll try to build the APK myself when I get some spare time.
You’re not in Sonos’s target market if you want it to last 50 years. That’s fine.

All the more reason they should be explicit so the consumer knows what they’re buying. I certainly don’t mind 10 year lifecycle even if that bothers you.
In my head, this color is so closely associated with the color green (moss, trees, grass etc) that it almost looks green. I'm not colorblind, but I immediately would call this a greenish-brown, even though that's not a thing.

Take a moment and think about how difficult it is to moderate a site like this. Understand that their attention is usually drawn to a post by users flagging it, not by their own casual reading of a thread. They probably don't have the time to investigate these exchanges as much as you might like.

Gaming in Linux has basically undergone a revolution in the last 18 months. It's now possible to pretty much play any game under the sun using Proton (Valve's homebrew Wine + DXVK) or Lutris (Wine manager and installation script repository).

The only trouble is games with anti-cheat, which rules out a lot of online games including Fortnite, PUBG and others.
Yes, it's most likely that the effort it takes ($) to develop and maintain vs. the direct revenue it provides is abysmal.
Indeed I thought a lot about that while working on the zoning. The HTD system by default can do 12 zones (with as many speakers as you want). I suspect it would be rare to have more than 2 or 3 different sources across all of those zones, but it would be common to only want a few specific rooms have sound playing.

The idea of a movable source device makes sense, and I suspect a very common use pattern will be playing something over airplay/airplay2 from a iphone. The zone splitting just makes it possible to have more granular control over where that sounds is going.

I debated a lot about rather to install speakers at all, but I do want to be able to have some housewide paging/notification, and I would rather have each room have stereo speakers in the ceiling ( with a corresponding sub for some locations) then rely on a desk or table held speaker.

Also, the cost of doing in wall is pretty cheap now if you are building new.

Keep in mind it is possible in 3 years I figure out I did it all wrong, but that is the fun of home building. ;)
Given that it is open source, it seems odd that they wouldn't run it on their own servers.
Presumably it still runs, do the integrations with banks no longer work?
The only real changes they have been making is monetizing by adding cosmetics. As far as Linux goes this is a pure ROI play, nothing more.

The mac support may have been removed due to Apple not supporting 32bit apps (and the expected return verse cost of going 64bit)
Protondb comments suggest the Windows version works pretty well using Wine/DXVK.
With lsp-mode, there’s really nothing I can think of that emacs can’t do compared to IDEs. In fact, emacs blows them out of the water. Before LSP was invented, I would have agreed with you. But pretty much all IDE features have been commoditized by LSP now.

This was to be expected, when Epic Games, notorious for not giving a rat's ass about Linux support, acquired the studio behind Rocket League. Other titles from studios bought by Epic will likely follow if they have not already.

This does pose the question on what happens to Linux players who have invested into digital purchases. Online functionality will be disabled so all items will basically be void and the game becomes mostly worthless.

I also wonder if this means that Rocket League will not run on Google Stadia and its competitors, as those platforms mostly run on Linux systems.
It's a useful concept when used appropriately. There is nuance that you are missing.

When used it's a description that the business owners provide based on how they run their business, then it's OK. When you use it to describe someone else's business it's often considered a slur (unless they've previously shared this with you and you know that fact.)

Many smaller companies are not actually lifestyle businesses although that term is thrown around here. The owners may be part-time because they actually operate a group of companies, grow niche companies to sell outside of the VC world, etc. They are indistinguishable from lifestyle businesses, but the owners are looking to do a lot more than sustain a level of income.
Good luck scaling that far enough to make a difference, without at the same time broadcasting your intentions to everybody.

If you've designed the wiring correctly this can be done at the central junction, isolating the that room (or rooms). then, when you setup that sound system in the room you already have the speakers built in. just plug into the port on the wall :D I've seen this kind of setup several times, though it was the early 2000's, before the massive proliferation of wifi audio.

note: one of the reasons i saw a lot of this was the company i worked for acquired a structured wiring company (system in a box) that did lots of home/office AV work

Today, it would be illegal for HP to sue him for it after having declined to take up the product when the employee first offered it to the company, because CA labor law explicitly addresses this situation.

This is in fact one of the ways that an employee can retain rights to an IP or product that is otherwise within the scope of the company's active businesses.
I feel this is a horrible anti-consumer practice, but their ROI must be incredibly low. I don't remember the last time I played a game on a Mac. I wonder how Apple Arcade is doing.
I am with you on this 100%. Did the same thing in my home remodel.

Investing in any proprietary hardware universe has proven to be a fools errand. As the standards change, I can still listen to music via any system, service or format.

And better: I get the same functionality as Sonos with a few Yamaha receivers and Spotify and/or Apple Music. Oh and my system offers much much, much better fidelity and infinite upgrade options which is far more important to me as a music junkie and musician.
I'm honestly quite confused why they can't revert to a "dumb" speaker mode and then provide a proprietary Chromecast equivalent that only works with their speakers that can be trivially replaced

This would mean that if you want continued software updates you just plug in the expansion pack, like I did for my N64.
I really considered that approach.. using a port for each zone or speaker set. The only downside is cost if you have a lot of speakers or zones. I did 38 speakers, so if I did 19 ports that would be $8500, and take up a lot of room.

I do like a lot of things about the Sonos software.
Possibilities:
1) they're all leaving for the same place, each one recruiting the next
2) they know something you don't about the company's future, under the new ownership
3) the fact of big changes made them look around at where they were for the first time in a while, and the things that had long been just annoyances became reasons to leave.
4) they were quietly asked to leave, but given time to find a new job elsewhere first, on the condition they stay quiet as well
5) there is always the possibility of random luck

Some of these are more worrisome than others, and it can be hard to know which. But...the fact that your company has new owners is the most interesting. Why is that? If you don't know, you should find out, and if you do know, it should help you guess which of the above scenarios is more or less likely.

Maybe their terms have changed over time, but overall I found their explanations to be clear and thorough.
