Anyone can put a paper on arXiv. The bigger problem is that most journal editors will be skeptical of citing arXiv. If you're collaborating with more traditional academics it can be a challenge to even submit a paper with such citations.

I've had to push my colleagues to cite a number of non-traditional sources: arXiv, github, and zenodo for example. Fortunately most of them agree that citations are cheap and that giving more people credit is generally a good thing.

One thing that helps is publicly stating how you want your research cited. If you don't have a peer reviewed publication in the pipeline, tell people how to cite your work on a blog or your github page or somewhere. Most people default to peer-reviewed journals for citations and get confused when one doesn't exist, so an explicit statement really helps.

I was confused about where the actual data was... then after several seconds the charts began to appear.

I used PowerBI in one project before, with charts embedded in a web page, and this was my experience too - they just took forever to load!

On top of that, the documentation around embedding charts was pretty poor, and the licensing model was very confusing - I don't think we ever did really understand it!
This strikes me as a terrible history. I would never go back after such experience.

March 24 opinion piece by Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo. Key sugestions:

"Here is my prescription for local and state leaders: Keep shutdowns short, keep the economy going, keep schools in session, keep jobs intact, and focus single-mindedly on building the capacity we need to survive this into our health care system.

We desperately need more intensive care unit beds and ventilators to give the severely ill a chance of survival: Borrow them, buy them, build them, convert structures to coronavirus-dedicated centers, etc. We must do whatever is necessary — and do it yesterday. And for heaven’s sake, where on earth are the COVID-19 tests?

At this point, no matter what we do, we tragically will lose many Americans. Short of a miracle treatment, it’s too late for any other outcome. However, our economy, people’s jobs and livelihoods, and the education of our children should not become collateral damage. We must not let ill-informed, fear-fueled policy compound the casualties of COVID-19."
Quote: "Fortunately, there are creatures called "process chemists" – guys who laugh at the discovery synthesis, insult as many of us as possible, and then make it better so that the yields are higher and some of the most dangerous chemical reagents and solvents – ones you really don't want to use on a large scale – are replaced by others. They are generally a bunch of mutants, but they do a great job in "fixing" the synthesis used by the discovery chemists."

This really cracked me up. In my IT world the equivalent for "mutant" would be refactoring, right? I did "mutated" this way a few times in the past to much of the horrors of my boss(es)/manager(s) when they learned the next day.

> How do you avoid itchy ears after wearing headphones for longer times?

Don't! I also have the same problem if I wear headphones for too long, usually 2-3 hours, so about the same as you (got the Bose QC35), so I usually only use those headphones when I want to make sure I remove bright noises from the environment, like airplanes.

Otherwise, at home (which is 100% of my time because of the lockdown) I use speakers (same for showers, using speakers). Then office environment I usually have my in-ear headphones that have superior bass compared to my headphones and I can wear them for the full day without feeling anything on the top of my head or my ears.

You don’t -need- the app to use the headphones. It’s just useful for some extra functionality and upgrading the firmware.

The next person who does this: please report the config problem to the camera vendor, then make the issue public after 90 days (or other reasonable timeline) if the vendor does not respond. This lowers the chance of future adversaries scraping images of the public from default-open camera feeds.
Are these "leather cups" you're talking about these "ear cushions" (https://www.bose.com/en_us/products/headphones/headphone_acc...)? If yes, then that's only 30-40$, which does not seem unreasonable for a product you use so intensively? I replaced mine after about 2 years. I remember the sound insulation being a _lot_ better afterwards.

I have the same experience on the battery: my pair is almost 3 years old and I can go about 2 days of work (~12 hours) before I have to charge them.
Full disclosure: My primary set is Sennheiser HD600, which I use a lot and love. Excellent sound objectively and subjectively. Worth every cent, despite being available since 1997. They benefit a lot from a headphone amp but still do a decent job without. They are made to last, and should an accident ever break a piece, all parts are replaceable individually without the need for tools. I've had them for several years and they're as good as new.

I have tested QC35 before, on a loan from a coworker. The FR is very good, but the distortion is horrendous. Measurements made on the set confirm by reviewers do confirm my impressions were spot on. Apparently the reason the FR is good is because they have a builtin DSP doing EQ.

When I heard the price, for such bad sounding headphones, I thought about them as a scam. Later, I learned they don't just distort a lot, but are also not made to last. Brand loyalty is high, and the money BOSE spends in marketing plays no small role on this. BOSE devices are expensive and those who buy them get associate the price with quality. When they break, they just buy BOSE again.
I never got published in the field I have a masters in, for what I'd like to think of as somewhat comparable reasons.

However, my take-away was that the successful researchers were the ones who could take any decent experiment and figure out what was publishable about it, or at least steer it into a publishable direction.
Oops, yes, I did.
I don't expect that will turn out to be the case as funding will be reallocated across various government programs in an extreme manner. The impact of Hurricane Katrina on DHS programs is a comparatively small example of what can happen after an event like this.

Companies large enough to serve multiple different organizations may be able to re-balance their services.
I don't have anything to sell, if you want to roll the dice on aftermarket earcups, knock yourself out :)

But you paid 300-400$ for headphones, to me it's worth paying the OEM premium just to make sure they keep delivering the quality and experience I was looking for initially when I paid the high price. Otherwise, you might as well buy the lowest priced noise canceling headphones: you'll get a commensurate experience but you won't break the bank.

Anyway, to each their own :)

"Linux itself is ready for production". I first used Linux back in the early 90s, no x-windows, just shells, which was kind of normal at the time. Then moved to Windows and lived in that ecosystem from 3.x all the way to Windows XP. I switched to Apple after Balmer led Microsoft through a string of puzzling product decisions and seemingly anti-consumer / customer patterns. Which seems a lot like Apple since Jobs (Under Cook).

Linux ready for Production. Sure feels like the perfect time.

I’m Borja Moya, a filmmaker and privacy activist based in London. I’ve just released a short film about the UK’s surveillance state and the live facial recognition deployments by UK police forces, where thousands have been scanned without consent, and many have been racially profiled.

During 2019 and 2020 I witnessed several live facial recognition deployments by the Metropolitan police and South Wales police. And I was able to capture first hand the behind the scenes of what the police do during these deployments.

The first thing I noticed in these deployment is how the UK police forces target certain people—especially racial minorities. Which is extremely worrying. But after you deeply analyze their modus operandi, the threat of their surveillance goes much further than the already grave threat of racial profiling: it is the beginning of a state of surveillance and a roll-back on human rights and fundamental freedoms.

In this short film I show you the behind the scenes of what the police do during live facial recognition operational deployments. And I give you a sneak a peak of where the UK is heading with its surveillance state. And maybe this video will serve as an example of other countries that are also walking down this road.

(Please, let me know your thoughts about this film)

Bad article, clearly written by someone with left wing views.

Minimalism can help you lead a more focused life. Of course it’s relevant for people who have accumulated a lot, but even poor people can hoard things.

> I caught one mention of “inequality.” Instead of digging into systemic problems like poverty or exploring ideas of wealth redistribution, the film frames having less as an individual, moral choice with no political strings or implications.
Not everything has to do with politics.

> In fact, the alleged blankness of Minimalism can serve as a facade that conceals a disturbing reality. An incident that Chayka doesn’t discuss in his book demonstrates this in an extreme way.
What? How this one incident is relevant in the minimalist movement?
Deploys at Slack – Several People Are Coding
Looking at so many architectures that failed over time, I do think this strongly correlates with not having a critical mass of users/developers. Sparc, PowerPC could have had a much better and longer life, if there had been affordable motherboards in a common form factor available for enthusiasts. That is especially important, if your CPU architecture is vastly different from the mainstream. So if Intel had made reasonably priced Itaniums available for the Linux crowd, software support could have increased considerably. I think a lot of scientists would have loved Itanium systems for their great float pointing performance. But the times, where scientists get equipped with expensive work stations, ended somwhere in the mid-90ies.

Likewise, I hope that this new CPU becomes easily available to enthusiasts and think that its viability even would depend on it.

Sun made SPARCstations, not SGI, who used MIPS, not SPARC, and just called them workstations. Then there was the SGI Indy, which was an SGI Indigo without the go. ;)

The 3d desktop file system navigator software running on the SGI workstation was actually a thing that SGI shipped, by Joel Sherrill <joel@sgi.com>, called SGI Fusion, or FSN!

>File System Navigator (fsn; pronounced "fusion") is an experimental application to view a file system in 3D, made by SGI for IRIX systems.

>Even though it was never developed to a fully functional file manager, it gained some fame after appearing in the movie Jurassic Park in 1993. In a scene in the film, the character Lex Murphy, played by Ariana Richards, finds a computer displaying the interface. She exclaims "It's a UNIX system! I know this!" and proceeds to restart the building's access control system, locking the control room's doors. After the release of the film, some perceived the visualization as an example of media misrepresentation of computers, citing the computer game-like display as being an unrealistic Hollywood mockup.

I wish! But I have the pleasure of working in an "open office"... I have to wear headphones (or 3M construction earmuffs/PPE when I don't want music) just so I can hear myself think in the middle of all the chatter.

They hide the setting not to harvest your data in the privacy policy - you can use the app, make sure you turn off tracking, upgrade the firmware, then delete the app. It makes sense that you need some kind of app to upgrade the firmware. The only thing that is in the app that you can't do from the headphones is the level of noise cancelling, but that doesn't bother me because I always have it set to max.
> My advisor's explanation on publishing was that if we had great results that followed our initial theory of what's going on then we could write a paper and nobody would question it. But, now that we contradict theory the threshold of evidence is much higher and he doesn't want to go ahead with it.

Isn't that sort of the most important thing to publish? Something that contradicts theory means something new. Seems like all the more reason to pursue it, no?

> Anyone can put a paper on arXiv.

Unfortunately as an academic it's really hard to justify spending time on writing up a paper that's only going to be published on arXiv. Regardless of citations, it doesn't count towards your publication quotas or PhD requirements.
Being nice even when the company is at fault pays off. I ordered a base model Dell XPS 15 (i3 8gb) which got delayed about 3 weeks.

I received a maxed out model (i7, 1tb SSD, 32gb, GPU and 4k screen).
