I have a theory, which I hope is mostly wrong, and may or may not apply directly to this particular situation. We always hear about the cases where people from foreign countries are trolling celebrities or other high profile people. Why should people with malicious intent stop there? Why shouldn't we all consider ourselves a target of trolls? It only helps us lose faith in society. I am under the impression one of the relatively NEW tactics of groups (also why does it have to be groups and not angry individuals?) trying to cause civil unrest is to simply target every human being so they will all turn on one another, become hostile, and cause their own collapse.
Imagine what would happen if Toyota tried to relaunch the 1999 Corolla. New designs are more efficient, there’s no way they would design a worse plane.
"Why three prongs" is a classic, but it seems to have been submitted 11 months ago.

I would suggest "[Nikola] Tesla's Big Mistake?"[1]. It's never been submitted, and I think single-wire power transmission would be surprising to many. Plus, it's some neat history.

Latency -- You'll never get a wireless mouse faster than fiber-optic, since the computer screen would interfere with optical wireless transmission ;)

I jest. The real theoretical issue is pairing (portability). I can't think of a wireless solution that provides all three of:

1. No dongle. I don't want an extra thing to keep track of.

2. Fast and convenient pairing ("plug" and play). Connecting to a different computer should not be a hassle.

3. Secure. Device must only pair with computers of my choosing.

Dongles, WPS buttons, and bluetooth number confirmation are existing solutions that provide any two. A physical plug combines "connect" and "authorize" steps, neatly sidestepping the issue.

The closest thing I could think of to solve this would be a standard, as ubiquitous as USB, for wireless connection: each device has a code that serves as protocol negotiation, identification, and authorization. So you open up a "connect a device" dialog on the computer, type in your device's code, and the computer automatically discovers the device and pairs with it. But even this is a compromise on both usability (another thing to remember...) and/or security (it could be printed on the device, like a serial number, but then...).

And, of course there's the myriad practical issues mentioned elsewhere in the thread. I think if they were (truly) solved, I would buy wireless devices for my home setup, to do away with cable management, and keep cheap wired ones for use with other people's computers. I don't anticipate this happening for at least a decade or two.
Thanks, still useful info.
The bart didn’t do that when it was new. Apparently, standard railway maintenance involves grinding busy tracks down on a regular basis (so the track has a round crown on top instead of being flat).

Of course, the BART system simply fails to do the maintenance. I used to commute through the transbay tube and would happily join a class action suit over the hearing loss.
Interesting, will check it out, thank you!
Fraud is at the expense of the seller and raises prices for the customer. I don’t see how this is at the expense of the customer, I just visit eBay and buy something if I want to.
How stable is your life?

Are you in danger of losing your job? (ferinstance) In that case you may need to move suddenly to another part of town or another state, or even (worst case) another country.

In this situation, you are far better off renting because that gives you more flexibility, as you don't have the hassle of having to wait until you sell your house before you can move.

Conversely, if your life is stable, you don't have a mortgage but your income ebbs and flows, you are better off if you own your own home. In times of low cash flow, it can be used as collateral to borrow food-money temporarily.
Summarizing your last point: everything is a remix. To people with a deep understanding of technology, it's clear that everything builds upon prior art and some of the best "innovation" is pulling together insights from many fields (many of the Mathematics).

Which is why it's so infuriating to read Leonardo's grandstanding "Those who have created a new intellectual object have to right to exploit it". What exactly did this "creation" build on? It was not produced in isolation.

"As low as A=435"? The reality is much stranger! Baroque groups such as Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and American Bach Soloists, and many others, routinely perform at A=415, which is the standard accepted "Baroque" pitch these days.

Earlier music is sometimes performed down around A=390.

A lot of dogs (mine included) love to crunch on ice cubes. You can also find a lot of recipes for frozen treats online - I started by looking there first, but they were all heavy on ingredients my dog isn't fond of (he really just likes meat).

Might be a geographical/climate thing. I'm in San Diego, so frozen treats are good year round here.
Fascinating. Can you explain this: "X can be a function of X expressed as X=X(X++)."

This is my (incorrect) attempt to make sense of the equation:
X++ = X + 1 (?)
X() What does this mean? How can X be a function?

I'm not going to address your numerous disagreements with Trump's policies, but instead respond to the one quote you actually pointed to, which was this:

"We should be standing up straight and tall, ideally with a salute, or a hand on heart. There are other things you can protest, but not our Great American Flag - NO KNEELING!"

I agree (and Trump would agree) that people are well within their rights to kneel in protest of police brutality (or any issue for that matter), and Trump has actually been doing a lot to improve the quality of our police force (so he agrees on the principle behind it too).

That said, there's been plenty of publicity lately over our differences in these issues, and it sounds like the president is just asking people to at least unite behind the idea of living in a country that has so much to be proud of. When we show respect for the flag, we aren't saying that the country is perfect. We're honoring the men and women who gave and continue to give their lives for us to even have a place where we can debate these issues peacefully. We honor and have pride in a country where everyone (regardless of race or any other attribute) can be protected by the rule of law rather than oppressive leaders or the fear of anarchy.

If there's one thing we need as a nation now more than ever, it's to look for the good in each other and to find common ground. Respect for our country - and symbolically our flag - is perhaps the best place to start. Trump is telling us we can and should continue to protest those things that need improvement (he says so in the same sentence), but one thing that shouldn't divide any of us is our flag.

Now if that's his #1 most racist tweet, then I rest my case.
I have the same problem. I have a gmail account that is first initial + middle initial + last name. So if I were John Larry Doe it would be jldoe@gmail.com. There's not a week that goes by without me getting email that is meant for someone else.

Receipts from purchases, I get signed up on email lists (why don't more require you to confirm your email?!?), and quite a few personal emails, such as invitations to birthday parties, etc. Every now and then I'll get something that is rather sensitive, like confidential legal or business documents.

I haven't had anyone angry at me, and most of the time I simply reply and tell the person that they have the wrong email address. I just really hate the lists I get signed up on.

I have tracked down a few people through Facebook because they bought a digital item that was delivered through email.

If you are a crackhead, the economics of stealing a cellphone are already very poor. It is much more profitable to steal peoples' bicycles or even copper tubes than it is to steal a cellphone, because stealing a cellphone is a pain in the ass since it's almost always in your pocket.

The selection process for phones is already there: unless you are a very good thief, you're not stealing cellphones. That's because realistically your two ways of stealing a cellphone is either skillful pick-pocketing/misdirection, or muggings. Now if you're a crackhead, mugging people is not a very good idea for obvious reasons, and the subtler ways of stealing a cellphone already select for experienced thieves.

The number one reason why bikes are stolen so much is not because they are easy to steal, it is because there is essentially no risk of getting caught. No one will give a shit if you're stealing a bike, and so even professional bike thieves will simply pop your lock with a Ramset gun without a care in the world and be on their merry way hours before you even notice. Whereas stealing a cellphone, unless very skillful, requires direct confrontation, which is not an issue.

>But again, that's post-hoc statistics. You're looking at the world that already has the trivial disincentive against amateur thieving. So of course you'll see most stolen phones being stolen by professionals—the amateur thieves are already not bothering, so if a phone is being stolen at this point, it's being stolen by a professional thief!

I seriously disagree for the reasons I outlined above. The kind of people that would steal phones are the kind of people that know how to offload it. Again, maybe this is different in the US, but anyone with shady friends here could figure out how to fence a stolen phone. It's really not nearly as exclusive as you might think. I personally know two people I could offload a stolen phone (that I entered into contact via my elementary school of all places), and I am very, very, very far from being the kind of person that needs to steal phones in order to subsist. The hardest crime I ever did was to give my friend a USB key with mp3s of Akon in 2011.

And even if it wasn't the case, do you really think a crackhead would not try to steal a phone anyways? Of course they would, and they could probably figure out a way to fence it for 20$ or so. They just don't want to because stealing something that is either in your pocket or in your hands 24/7 is way too much risk for way too little reward.

I have an email address that is every bit as silly as my username on HN (i.e. something that I didn’t think could ever be entered by accident), and yet a man named Sean from Michigan (I’m British) is signed up to AAA with my email.

I was actually able to Google the combined information included in the emails over the past couple of years to pin down the guy’s home address. I did consider sending a postcard explaining the situation, but balked at the idea in the end, in case it came off more creepy than lighthearted.

This might become the law, but how would it be enforced?

That was a fantastic piece. The author takes great pains to point out the nuance and complexity behind successful outcomes that clearly belie the “structural racism” trope, while acknowledging the realities.
This is not on the new tab page, this is hijacking links typed directly into the address bar. “If you’re using Brave and try to go to the Binance crypto exchange, Brave hijacks the Binance link you typed in, and autofills with its own affiliate code.”

A few months back typographer/programmer/lawyer/acerbic writer Matthew Butterick wrote an, ah, let's say pointed critique called "The Cowardice of Brave," in which he argued that Brave is neither innovative nor particularly honest: "It's just substituting one set of ads for another... for publishers, it's the same old shakedown, but run by Brave instead of Google or Facebook; for users, Brave is still going to collect data about you." It's worth a read, even if one ultimately disagrees with it.

https://practicaltypography.com/the-cowardice-of-brave.html

Anyway, I bring it up because I linked to it from my Twitter and got a cranky response from Brendan Eich about how Butterick was wrong. Eich's response to Butterick was, like the one to you, not really a rebuttal of any of the critiques beyond "this is all wrong and inaccurate." I looked back at Eich's Twitter feed and discovered he was clearly searching for links to Butterick's article and tweeting links to his non-response.

And sure, responding to criticism is normal, but that "must find all who referenced this critique and CORRECT THEM" approach is... just... it is sure a thing.

I'm sad and surprised that one still has to go through so much trouble trying to use an AMD computer with Linux, especially considering the performance and security situation with Intel in the last couple of years.

For what it's worth, a comment [0] on the Archlinux BBS says that Linux 5.6.13 fixed the issue for the user's t495 and Debian seems to have 5.6.14, so if you haven't yet tried updating the kernel, definitely try now.

My general impression was that non-US credit card rewards kind of sucked.

In the US, 2-5% is the base level of cashback from credit cards.

Nothing I've read about Brave has ever made me want to use it instead of any other browser with a basic ad blocker, and this whole "we will save the web by substituting other people's ads with our own and making them all party to our business model whether they want to be or not, also something something cryptocurrency woo" shtick was the main reason. It continues to be the main reason.

Often I do because that's what CI does. This is pretty normal.

But the point is having a different view of what compilation means in the developer's workflow as a language designer. Having the engineer have to think about how to organize the code for the compiler is bad design unless that organization is built into the compiler. The compiler should reject programs that are not organized for optimal compilation. And the organization required at least does not impede understanding of the code (best if it improves it). This is Go's design imprimatur and it's critically important to the success of Go.

FWIW, I see large Java projects compile small changes take minutes to compile, even using hot-reload tools.

Figwheel in Clojure is not like this, however: they're doing something right there.
I told him I was sorry he had to put up with her behaviour. What I didn't say, but implied, was I was sorry he was treated like a lesser person for no other reason he looked different and was possibly an immigrant.

On an even deeper unconscious level, I was probably apologising on behalf of most Canadians who accept (if not embrace) people of racial and cultural diversity.

The reason he didn't respond wasn't because of something I said. We were both kind of gobsmacked at what happened.
In truth though, it is not very difficult to get a hold of an IMSI that does not refer to you, via an anonymous SIM cards you can get a hold of a few different ways. And it is not very difficult to find the maintenance service menu of your phone and disable everything except 4G and 5G either. However, it is much simpler to just leave your SIM card at home and use other means of access :)
I was recently going to get a Pinboard subscription, but noticed the price doubled to $22/year. That's still a low price but at the same time I don't see obvious benefits over services I can use for free. This appears to be specialized for developers, so at least after an initial glance, it might be worth $24/year. Plus it comes with a six month trial.
The largest economic expansions tend to be preceded by really painful destruction of wealth and savings (Great Depression and WWII preceding postwar booms, the largest US economic expansion in history preceded by a decades-long oil crisis)
That can’t be it. The Basic interpreter could run the lexer on each line the user typed and store the tokens. You would lose the ability to print lines exactly the way the user typed them, but that isn’t a big blocker for the technology of the time.

Alternatively, the Basic interpreter could store each line as a combination of tokens and characters. Commodore Basic did that (https://www.masswerk.at/nowgobang/2020/commodore-basic-renum...).

I also think none of the microcomputer Basics stored keywords as ascii strings. It would both slow down the interpreter and use more memory.
I agree! I haven't met anyone quite like you song :)

Rust is great. However, because of the ease of creating crates (packages), it seems to be beginning to suffer the same fate as Node and node_modules, with authors bringing in crates (just a `crate install` away) and ending up with ludicrous compile times for the end users.
My side projects are primarily for myself meaning:

- intellectually stimulating

- excuse to acquire toys (cnc, miter saw, linoblocks and inking supplies, etc)

- can be used a fun projects/learning experiences for my kids.

My project that has generated the most revenues has been selling (in very low quantities) a limited edition wordclock that I designed and build. Except for the Qlock2 all the wordclocks I’ve seen are diy or compete on cost. Mine is (imho) a high quality art piece. And I price it similarLy to Qlock2 but with a totally different aesthetic. My wordclock making started as presents for friends and family then evolved to a workshop I taught at a local maker space.

I bought a cnc machine for the clocks but most of my cnc work currently is making projects with the kids. Some of them have been refined into other products (Like custom engraved magic marker holders) on my Etsy site.

Lately As a side project to my side project I’ve been making wooden sneeze guard stands. These started by my neighbor who’s a dentist asking me to help him make some. Then I made a few for friends that own a local bakery. Last week I received an order for $1000 worth from an urgent care provider. Feels good to help small businesses reopen post lockdown. Even cooler if they are willing to pay me to help. It also serves as a teaching moment with my kids.

Next is to figure out how to use my maker skills to help BLM movement. I’m still trying to figure that out. Ideas welcome!

You basic choices today tend to be Solidworks, Fusion360, Autodesk Inventor and in certain industries, Siemens NX. I have experience with all of these, as well as, in the old days, contorting AutoCAD to do 3D and 2D mechanical work.

I am going to say I run most of them at expert level, perhaps more so in the case of Solidworks and NX. I would not touch NX unless there was no other choice and I was required to use it. This is the case with a bunch of aerospace and other industries where there might be legitimate cases for using NX.

In the choice between Fusion360 and Solidworks, I would likely consider migrating to Fusion360 if they had a way to make it just as local as Solidworks. I haven't had to touch it in about two years, so I don't know if this transition took place at all. The fact that your data is cloud based doesn't sit well with many of the companies I tend to work with. In those cases Solidworks tends to become the go-to option.

From my perspective, yes, Solidworks is a standard tool. It is very rare --again, in my world-- to have someone ask for anything other than Solidworks when I ask what format they would prefer. This includes the new breed of private players surrounding the NASA Artemis mission.

I was just pointing out that some of your facts are incorrect. You said "Illegal border crossing is still illegal" and "they're now being separated, as happens when suspects get arrested." and earlier "perfectly ordinary border enforcement arresting illegal aliens" but as you can see from the quote above - this is happening to people who did not get arrested or do anything illegal.
