Somewhat similar I remember various discussions/articles on various BBS and even sites like the former TOTSE.com (Temple Of The Screaming Electron, now redirects to a mirror https://totseans.com/) that instructed people on how to attempt to reuse actual postage stamps.

It generally involved coating them with a common substance so that your recipient could remove the ink easily with others discussing solvent concoctions telling you how to remove ink on stamps you received.

Also I recall various posts telling you different ways you could defraud vending machines that had different levels of anti-theft devices. Some involved using washers a comparable weight and dimensions of coins that were cheaper than the coins, some involved building tape structures on paper currency and feeding it into the machine and knowing the precise time to begin pulling it back out with just the right amount of force to get the machine to accept the bill but still retrieve it.

Then of course all of the different phreaking boxes, some of which worked and some of which were pure fantasy.

While I appreciate this sort of thing at a hacking level "I wonder if I can do this", it always amazes me when people that would never steal from a store or a person are quick to try activities like stamp fraud, unlicensed violation of radio spectrum, system penetration/data theft, ripping off vending machines and payphones etc.

Mind you in my youth in the 1990's I tried lots of these things too.
I know plenty of people will dismiss it as a right wing publication, but the case against Chevron get weirder and weirder the deeper to you. Both sides are up to some some shady shit[1]

After a lengthy exploration of bribery, money laundering, and other corruption, Judge Kaplan concludes: “The decision in the Lago Agrio case was obtained by corrupt means. The defendants here may not be allowed to benefit from that in any way. The order entered today will prevent them from doing so.”

The Great Affordability Crisis
I made a url shortener with Cloudflare workers and their edge KV store. I did notice that it worked very fast in the US, but not so fast in Europe. The KV store seems to require a US->EU trip if it's not a "hot key".

Or basically, it seems "single master" with the center in the US. No such issue with the worker itself though...just the KV store. If I hardcoded the data, or used the regular page cache, it was fast everywhere.

I interviewed at a startup here in NYC. It was one of my very first interviews as I interviewed for my first job.

In the final thank you email thread I asked:

Hi [redacted],

I really appreciated the speed of this entire process. I must admit, I'm bummed but understand; I also really do appreciate the feedback, both positive and negative. If you have any specifics on where I was specifically lacking, I would appreciate knowing but if Tempest's policy limits you from going much deeper, I understand that too.

I wish you the best at building your team; You'll find the person you're looking for. :)

Till next time!

Best,

So, I then got direct actionable feedback. They’re not long explanations (I.e. on X you should have considered Y) but we’re very specific and super helpful.

I now have told this story many times and pointed people to try that company.

I think startups are more inclined to do this than companies after their Series C.

Was it really because of the Consumer Right Act? Part of VW's settlement with regulators was that they had to buy back a large majority (I don't recall the exact number) of the defective cars.
I have played couple of games competitively. I have been somewhere in top ten to top three in the world in some of them (we are talking small communities with large number of accidental players, nothing really to brag about).

My observation is it is critical to somehow get a feeling what it is/means to be good at the game. This means identifying where is the focus of a good player.

Having been playing competitively I have noticed ALMOST ALL of people being intent on playing the game well are completely misplacing there focus, effectively wasting their time on stuff that does not matter.

They are stuck being mediocre to good (but not best) players because they dug themselves in their own holes:

- polishing endlessly skills that give diminishing results but are comfortable to the player but avoiding tackling problems that the player is not comfortable with

- repeating the same routine all the time instead of constantly switching up stuff they are training. If you are training well after some time you have trained a skill enough that you should switch to another that now gives best ROI.

- repeating and acting on falsehoods/myths about the game

- complaining about the unfairness of the game which means they would like to play some different game which is governed by their idealized rules instead of trying to understand the real rules of the real game

- not being ruthlessly critical about their abilities which is necessary step to identifying what to work on to progress,

- not being able to spend a moment to consciously reflect on ones progress to identify why it is they are stuck (instead of blaming everybody)

- being focused on winning instead of getting better. Many players play to get a short term kick out of winning the game instead of playing to get some kind of knowledge/skill that will help them get better. Think Starcraft players who find that they can get consistent wins cannon rushing their enemies but are not willing to fail to try other strategies.

etc.

An example would be rookie players on iRacing (I'm nowhere near the top). iRacing requires you to get minimum amount of games but also, more importantly, minimum safety rating to be able to progress from rookies.

Players who are stuck but would want to leave rookies in iRacing are constantly complaining at other players constantly hitting them, effectively ruining their safety raiting.

While it is true that the state of the game in rookies is such that you get hit frequently, there are people who are quickly sailing through rookies. To do that you just need to notice that the critical skill is not hitting other players and avoid getting hit. Instead of focusing on getting to best place, focus on not hitting anything. Yet, so many people do not understand this and are destined to stay in rookies for a long time.

Obviously not. But that's the crux of the issue, FSD is not assigned to the owner but the car, apparently. But the article claims that it does not stay with the car.
I've worked from home in the past, not full time however; it was like 1-2 days per week max, so those days I welcomed not having to commute since the company wasn't exactly nearby. However I worked by myself, therefore 100% at home, for a while when I was getting my feet wet in the IT world in the 90s, and vividly recall that feeling I could only explain years afterwards, like realizing that I couldn't tell the difference between working at home or sleeping at the office. If I had to choose today, I would always try to work not entirely at home.

This cliched argument is quite ironic and insane. A leader doesn't have to be visionary all the time. Just last week there was a news about Apple selling more Watches than the entire Swiss industry and no one would talk about Cook there but when things go wrong, we forget that it's someone in QA or Product but all the blame goes to how Cook isn't a Product guy.

>>There is no laundry list.

Followed immediately by.

>>There is an expectation that a senior engineer writes codes like a senior engineer.

You have no written list, but an imaginary checklist running in your brain about how a senior engineer writes code. Other engineers have theirs. I ran some of it and guess what, in that list absence of basic documentation, unit test cases, basic exception handling, code with types. Or even input validation for functions, like null checks is a no go.

Yet, if you submitted your feature complete project under a tough deadline to me, I'm not going to sit down and split hairs about absence of a favorite add-on feature of mine. That is what we are discussing here.

The code you posted in the comment above obviously doesn't have things like documentation, or validating function variables. Not even None checks. This obviously happens when some one attempts to write and submit code in minutes. When you write code this quickly, you focus on the exact feature demand at hand. Which in this case was SQL injection.

Other people got their feature set, in which several security add-on features would have been good to have but not in the time given.

>>You are arguing reductio ad absurdum to hide the fact that the things which you claimed unreasonable are in fact routine, and your time estimates are off by order of 10.

Oh obviously anyone who can do produce thousand(s) lines of code 24 hour project in 2.4 hours, is some totally different beast altogether.

There sure could exist such people who can produce >1000 lines of highly tested, security hardened code. I have yet to meet them though.

The closest I've seen is people who could write Lisp macros. But even those people wouldn't recommend writing code at the rate of 1000 lines per hour.
The answer in this case is to use Vue or Svelte. Super light weight and avoids the pitfalls of re-inventing the wheel.
> My council (in the North) already announced they will not ask for the full rise, but something like 1%.

That's fascinating - I'm genuinely intrigued where. Are you sure it's 1% total, not 1% of a sub part?

But one council doesn't disprove what I said (it was more of an opinion to be honest though). The first 10 search results I found were all 2-3.99%. I did say the "full amount" though - I'll knock that down to at "at least 3%".

Responsive Checker Tool
I think a blend of both is the best approach for most apps. Redux for global state, api interactions, etc. so that you get the power of middleware like thunk and saga and get great debugging support for overall app state, then anything local to a page or component (like you said, for form data) you use a react context and useContext it in child components to hook up events and manage page level state using useReducer or useState within your page component. This model has been very successful for us and helps partition state in an easy to understand way.
I'm somewhat guilty of it as well, but a lot of people geek out on the gear side and spend money to optimize a fairly small part of the overall audio experience.

Most of what I record for podcasts these days is on location anyway and I know I don't personally have a "radio voice." So I do what I can to get reasonable audio quality but don't sweat the details too much.
I have an issue with an external monitor, confirmed with multiple users on MacRumors forums [1], that looks like a software bug.

When using opened Macbook with an external screen power usage by discrete GPU is not less 19W almost no matter what (resolution, screen size, etc.).

In my case, with new LG 5K, GPU power usage in clamshell mode is near 5W and with the lid open – 19.5W (and the laptop is too noisy to be usable as an additional screen).

I seriously doubt the audio quality of AirPods Pro are any good from an audiophile perspective. I have no way to test without buying them but I have heard both the new macbook pro 16 laptop speakers and the Sony WH-1000XM3 noise cancelling headphones described an incredible sounding by the same people who say Airpods Pro sound amazing. I happen to own both and.... the MBP sounds like my grammas alarm clock radio at best (I'd give it a 2.5/10) and the Sonys are maybe a 7/10. They are decent but way too boomy and the Q in the EQ controls provided in the app don't provide enough granularity to fix it. I feel like we've really devalued certain words in the past decade or so. Everyone speaks like they work for marketing now.
Yeah, it's partially a grass-is-greener thing, but partially a fundamental failure to realize that you're allergic to grass, and even if the grass really is greener, that won't actually solve your problem.

At least there is the mitigation that it isn't exploitable unless the device is scanning for new devices to pair with, at least by my reading of the reports I've seen.

I use a similar trick: I try to find a laptop that comes in both discrete-GPU and integrated-GPU configurations, and both version must share the identical chassis.

This way, when I buy the integrated version, I know the chassis has been designed with the heavier airflow of the discrete-GPU version in mind. If I'm lucky, my integrated-GPU config might even use the identical size heat-sinks as the discrete-GPU version.
Aside from all the other things he said, at least for games — 1 out of 20 people get there, and the vast majority of people who play a game play very casually. So if you put a reasonable amount of effort at all into getting good at a game, you’re likely to make the top 5% of players or close to it.

I play hearthstone about, I dunno, an hour a day or so, while I’m on the train. I’ve never made it to the legend rank, but I make it to rank 5 easily most months, which puts me in the top 6%. A lot of months I’ll end up rank 2 or 1, which puts me in the top 3 or even 1%

I don’t think I’m particularly good at the game, I just play good decks and pay attention to the meta game so I know what to expect from the other decks. I don’t tend to plan multiple turns ahead, I don’t try and figure out what’s in my opponents hand, sometimes I’m barely paying attention to the game at all, and sometimes make just obvious mistakes like missing lethal.

But none of that really matters up until you get to rank 2 or 1, where you start playing against people that basically don’t make mistakes.

In fact one of the hardest transitions for me to make in the game was understanding that when my opponent appeared to be doing something stupid in a higher ranked game, they were probably not, and that I need to spend time thinking about what it meant, rather than just assuming they were bad at the game. That doesn’t happen until you’re already in the top 5%, though.

The Yoga is nice, I have one too, but there was no option to add a dedicated video card, and this issue with the MBP always seems to stem from the dedicated cards.
That's odd, I have literally never experienced that before. What kind of setup are you using? I just tried it now, thinking maybe I just never really paid attention to any play/pause delay when listening to music or watching videos. Nope, it's pretty much instant as far as I can tell. I'm using the AirPods Pro and had Gen 1 AirPods before that -- can't recall ever having that problem in the past 3 years.

Great point.

Waymo's launched Waymo One as a taxi service but it's only available in one region. My understanding has been that they want to buy a fleet of cars, outfit them with their FSD tech for a taxi service? (So competing with Ridesharing services as an autonomous alternative)

I wouldn't mind it. I would be fair and square.
You could have two options:

1. Buy a car as is: Pay your car upfront. No updates after purchase

2. VaaS: No upfront cost. Constant updates, monthly payment.

This current situation why I hate IoT devices. You pay upfront and hope they still provide the service after n years. It makes no sense for me, why would somebody provide a service without an ongoing revenue.

i'm surprised by how many people on this forum have not stopped indefinitely at a red light on a bike. most lights i've come across are not calibrated for bikes so this isn't a rare occurrence.
