I'm utterly confused there as well. Decent grills I've owned consisted of three metal poles, a chain, a grill. Maybe a metal frame, a metal pan, a grill. Technically, I don't think I'd need much more than a bunch of sticks to grill something, besides fire material.

This is so nuts, there must be something missingThis might be a recipe app registering some bullshit capabilities or something.

When I first said the half-life of DNA is ~521 years at 13.1°C I was careful to include that temperature which made it clear that the decay of any organic material over time has more variables than merely time. Here's the article where that number comes from.

https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.201...

Mammoth DNA preserved in permafrost can last longer. Temperature is a variable. But dinosaurs lived in a very warm time, much warmer than the Ice Age the mammoths lived in so there's no possibility of nature somehow preserving Jurassic fossils in ice/permafrost.
I don’t think so, they’re just repeating half hitches for stability. This is very commonplace. I’ve never seen a reason to alternate the direction of the half hitches though.

It is a shame, but with the amount of growth they experienced it was never going to stay the same.

I think the real problem is that even with this decline, the competition is still scarce in terms of building nice devices and software. There is a lot of competition along the lines of cheaper, more power, more storage, more customizable. But there’s little pushing them from the outside to make better stuff.

Though one exception would be cameras, and Apple is responding accordingly. They have competitors with great cameras so they make great cameras.

And on the inside they’re apparently just locked into the yearly update cycle. That might be the only way to keep such a huge train from derailing.

I work at a consulting company which had a contract from Jan 1st 2020 up to June 30th but the latter was shortened to May 1st as a part of cost-cutting measures (including hiring freezes, consulting contract renegotiation, etc.) from the client company.

I have been on unemployment benefits since. Despite the current context, Can't quite look for another job (3-month notice still in effect if I resign) nor work for another company for my own benefit (non-compete clause).
Projects here and there are being cancelled due to budget cuts, so I am not sure how long I am going to last at the current company.

Fortunately I still have my salary every month, and LinkedIn is my friend.

I'm in game dev and have been responsible for doing Unreal Engine updates for medium-sized teams (50-150) on AAA games.

Our updates have taken one full-time engineer for 2 weeks plus an additional 2 weeks total of various people's time for each upgrade. It's worse if we skip a version.

We dedicate probably 3-4 person-months per year to staying updated, but it's well worth it. As an investment its ROI is easily 100x.

> But minority groups, particularly African Americans, who live in the inner city are extremely vulnerable, “on a scale of a nursing home or a prison or a meat-packing plant” in terms of risk and how devastating an outbreak can be, Fauci said.

> “We are really almost morally obligated on our part to concentrate the resources in those communities so that they can do the adequate testing, and then, when someone gets infected, identification, isolation and contact tracing, and provide them with the resources to be able to physically separate when they do get an infected individual,” he said.

Unfortunately this has become a political issue, and the American president has already stated that much of the economic damage is self-inflicted by "blue" states, and that it would be unfair to provide more stimulus checks when it would primarily help blue states.
What reform could you propose that solves this? The flip side is that anything you do to increase payouts also increases the number of suits brought, which is less efficient. Any policy regarding the legal system ends up hurting some group and creating some inefficiencies, and it's a matter of trying to make sure the incentives you create lead to more benefits than harm.
The platform knows perfectly well what it's doing.

Google has been trying to hide behind the "Oh dear our algorithm is experimental and fallible and sometimes it gets things wrong and that's very sad" defence, and it's obviously nonsense. You don't even need explicit evidence of collusion to understand why.

The "failure" of the algorithm has been happening for years now, and Google appears to have made no effort to correct the failure. But the real tell is that these "failures" disproportionately benefit large corporations which Google will have some relationship with - as opposed to small content creators who are disposable.

Ultimately, these actions are not mandated by law. So what's the legal - never mind moral - justification for them?

VMs can provide native performance. Docker sucks because Docker sucks. MacOS' Hypervisor.framework doesn't help, either.

Linux' VM hosting subsystem, KVM, as well as its VM guest drivers, support all the features needed for zero-overhead VM environments out-of-the-box, including PCI passthrough if you want completely native disk and network I/O.

The problem with containers as a performance and behavior testing environment is that everything is using the same kernel. Kernel behavior is a significant factor, and sometimes a huge factor, in the performance of various applications.

So do you turn your adblocker off on legitimate sites that don't run malicious advertising? (Which, unless you have a browsing history not fit for publication on this site, is likely the majority of sites that you visit)

Or do you just want to have your cake and eat it too? It's quite funny to me that the same crowd who blocks internet advertising wholesale is often times the same crowd that bemoans the fact that so many websites are going to subscription models and paywalls versus say 10 or 15 years ago. Frankly, there is little discernable difference between adblocking and theft, but I'm sure that that statement is not a popular one on a forum like this.

This made me stop and think: what services do I use frequently that are supported by ads? Honestly, not much. Search engines (DuckDuckGo), YouTube, Outlook.com email, a couple of non-traditional news sites (Ars Technica mostly), Stack Overflow, and podcasts. HN links drive most of my browsing habits, and that kind of content tends to not have or rely on ads.

And apart from YouTube, I'm mostly fine with the ads on those services. Clearly I'm not the average user, but I agree with your conclusion that most ads and the services they support can die in a dumpster fire and I won't care.

> I'd rather see 1-3 open-source embedded distros that commit to supporting hardware for 10 years with over-the-air updates

I don't see this happening unless a large company boostraps the funding for a distro like this, similar to how Microsoft boostrapped an open source election machine standard. "Over the air updates" requires the ability to pay for the bandwidth.

I do think there's an interesting synergy with your IoT gateway idea and Bit Torrent distribution of the Over the air updates.
The Buteyko Method is based on the idea that over breathing or hyperventilating is bad for you. Contrary to popular belief expelling too much carbon dioxide is actually not good for you due to the Bhor Effect, which basically says that oxygen cant be released from haemoglobin to cells in our body without enough carbon dioxide. By slowing your breath you increase the amount of carbon dioxide in your body , which then allows better oxygenation of your cells due to the Bhor Effect.

There's nothing really special about /AppleInternal, it's just a fairly normal directory that a couple of tools change in order to do things like offer more detailed diagnostics or the option to create a Radar. On a normal internal install there are some internal utilities, many of which are listed here: https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Category:Apple_Internal_A.... But their code is all Xcode projects and stuff, it's not like they're really using special tools for themselves except in certain cases. There are a couple of internal tools that possess entitlements to bypass security, but more often than not engineers just run with the security features disabled, which you can do yourself.
> do you even understand why they should?

To what level of depth are you expected to understand this in order to work? Isn't this just an easy justification for anything not working?

Proper breathing isn't something that you have to understand in order to work. It works as long as you "follow the instructions". Meditation on the other hand is something completely different. It's not really a "scientific method" type of thing. It has components like breathing that still play a large part, it has strong autosuggestion aspects, and more. This means it will not work the same all the time and for all people regardless of understanding.

I know people who swear by Scientology and yet I'm sure you won't agree that it must be the supreme truth, you just don't understand it well enough.
I've been watching RISC-V for the last year, and for me it represents a coming tipping point that I've seen in other tech areas in the past. Having an open standard that people are rallying around is a game changer. I don't know how it effects ASICs specifically, but it seems to be helping open up FPGA development and tooling, making it easier for people outside big established companies to work. I see chip design getting easier (or at least more approachable) in the next 5 years, and I think it will only accelerate from there.

Mind you, I may have rose colored glasses on. I've been dreaming of JITs all the way down to the hardware layer ever since I first heard of an FPGA that could flash itself in a single clock cycle over a decade ago...

I don't think a lot of people know how truly bad Shazam is at classical music. Stuff that should be very obvious (NPR Live From Here, for example) routinely gets misidentified for me.
I saw from another thread that this is actually for the temperature of a meat thermometer, that you can constantly monitor and without having to open the grill (which is undesirable).

So actually not a crock of shit, and pretty useful if you're grilling/smoking over long periods of time before/during a big party or something. Not all grilling is quick searing.

I hear where you're coming from, but have you been a part of a real estate search process for office space?

Open offices are crazy cheaper, and most retail developers don't build real offices anymore (and or when they renovate a commercial property pull all these walls out).

It is about cost, for anywhere I've worked or any clients I worked for. I haven't ever known a manager that wanted an open office to control or oppress their staff.

This is (mostly) why new occupancy tech exists as well btw -- the "crotch sensors". Not usually for specific employee surveillance, but to map occupancy trends and determine what parts of a space can be hot-desked or otherwise over-assigned to further reduce space requirements.
I would be cautious with conflating success, intelligence, fame and happiness. Sure, there might be some correlation between them. In my opinion they measure completely different things.

The very first job that the software engineering profession automated was its own. Assemblers, compilers, libraries, frameworks, package managers, macros, shell scripts, scripting languages, IDEs, unit tests, code browsers, and refactoring tools are all ways that the software engineering profession has taken mundane work that used to be part of their job description and handed it over to a computer. A compiler is literally the computer writing code for you, and they were invented in 1959. Many of these innovations were seen as forms of AI when they were invented.

My advice for students learning CS is: don't wed yourself to any particular technology, learn your CS fundamentals, and late-bind your particular tech stack choices. The idea of writing HTML by hand is pretty quaint today, but it provided people with $100+/hour jobs in the dot-com bubble. Similarly, it's entirely possible the software jobs of the future won't be writing mobile apps or wiring microservices together - but there will still be software jobs writing whatever tools end up writing the mobile apps.
There's somewhat of a difference between "people will buy a premium product with 'smart' features" (a wireless meat thermometer in this case) and "they will put 5G chips into everything to spy on us even if we just want a dumb device"

If we ignore the party politics of these decisions, and think about it from an abstract/philosophical point of view, should how much prosperity to trade for safety be a state-by-state decision? Given that states have the police power, should they be fully accountable for the consequences of their decisions, or should the federal government provide some sort of state-to-state redistribution? I think these questions go to the core of federalism.

More to the point of the article, I find Fauci's appreciation of non-sickness issues to be refreshing and helpful. Most doctors are so focused on the disease itself that they don't seem to take 'collateral damage' from containment into account.

It's hearing this kind of obviously silly but overly-confident statements that turn people away from this "mumbo jumbo". Clinically tested medication whose results can be replicated again and again doesn't work the same on all people but meditation? Yeah, that works or you're doing it wrong.

Off-hand I'd think for things like a grill I'd want this to be handled at the power strip level. Normally a grill, like a weber grill, is just a piece of metal and will last until you wear it out (even then it's mostly the flimsy legs that fail). If you add internet connectivity, the expected lifetime value of a product goes way down: failing hardware, services that get shut down, protocols that stop working as expected.

Meanwhile at the power strip level, you can both monitor and enforce energy usage, something that's beneficial even if you remove the ability to control it remotely (and why would you!?). I'd imagine for most things but maybe my computer and media setup I'd prefer to be able to simply cut the power to ensure it's not running.

EDIT: Apparently this is a meat thermometer!
