MiniUSB was horrible for this. The ports would lose the ability to grip cables and there was nothing to do other than replace the entire device.

Luca Palmieri[0] is trying to fill that gap with his series called "Zero to Production" in Rust that assumes the reader can solve project euler problems and is instead going to focus on "how do I build and deploy production software."

You can read the introduction[1] to the series to get a better sense.

You could convert, but you'd have the converter loses too as bob1029 pointed out. A switched DC going into a transformer can act as a convertor, then a step down transformer, then... yeah. A buck regulator would be better.

If you have something to run that needs constant motion besides the current, a motor-generator might be useful. That can convert pretty directly. I'm thinking like the outboard drive shaft on older midsize tractors.
Lightning does plugin easier.
When I first read your comment I thought you meant “all minors”. It looks as if this is for “working age population”, which means ages 15 to 64.

“The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development defines the employment rate as the employment-to-population ratio. This is a statistical ratio that measures the proportion of the country's working age population (statistics are often given for ages 15 to 64) that is employed.”

At the individual level, yes. But at the aggregate level, certain patterns can be observed.
There are several different unemployment numbers reported in the US that all have slightly different meanings[1]. While none of those official reported numbers match your definition, the U6 rate would be the closest. The number that you generally see reported in the news is the U3 rate. The U6 rate also includes people who have stopped actively looking for work or are underemployed (dictated by hours and not pay). The numbers reported in this article don't fit any of these definitions and are mostly meaningless due to weird choices like including children.

From what I've read, the USB-C cable does have a pair of springs (one on each side, pressing on slots on the sides of the "tongue"), so it's not just friction that keeps the cable in place.
> I'd much rather have a bad IPA than a bad sour.

That's why IPA dominates. You can "fix" a bad IPA. You can't fix a bad stout or lager.
I never owned a yubikey and things probably changed over the years also since I last looked into it. But even so what you have there is a proprietary applet with lots of extensions https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/Introduction/Yubico_extens...

If it works with OpenSC out of the box, then that's because Yubico made it to work. I pretty sure that if you tried to use a publicly available PIV applet that does its PIV duties in accordance with the specs you are not going to have a good time trying to pair it with OpenSSH.
Unfortunately, they have to use absolute minimal doses of locals as well, as they also increase cardiac arrythmias in Brugada patients, especially those of us with very distinct type I Brugada ECG patterns.

It kinda sucks, but hey, despite many cardiac episodes (my first VF was at 14, and I'm 58 now) I'm still alive. And I'm a cyborg.
Usbc is too big for certain applications. Also, usbc wasn’t out yet

This is a state law and it still allows for stricter city level rent control. If the unit is bound under the stricter SF city rent control, the city rent control law may treat discounts differently?

There's at least one 4-character domain in the results (easier to find when you set max to 4), `xuci.org`. So they do drop.
I actually think that the tax treatment differs as well - the 2 months free can be treated as a marketing expense, whereas the reduced rent simply results in the lower revenue.

For financed buildings it also keeps the nominal value of the building at the same level - it's still technically "rented" for the same rate, keeping future cash flow projected the same.

You'd have to come and see what anesthesia really is to understand the obstacles to automation. You are right that these obstacles do not lie in complexity. Ironically, they lie in practicality: anesthesiologists perform in extremely diverse environments where implementing reliable feedback mechanisms is impossible at the time (think crisis situation in the ER). In opposition to your preconception, we very often are driven by intuition instead of hard data because said data is so often completely unreliable. It would actually likely be easier to automate internal medicine because it leaves more time to check and correct equipment failure, and requires far less practical procedures.
I really wanted the CHiP to succeed and was going to grab a pocket chip when I had the spare cash. Unfortunate what happened, but if popcorn ship, it looks like a good successor.
Here's a picture illustrating this. Also note that the data contacts can fatigue as well!

Pricing risk accurately is the lenders' job and we certainly don't want them to stop doing it. If society as a whole wants these loans to happen, society as a whole should underwrite these loans or subsidize the interest.
It might not be a good idea to put a dollar value on lives, but considering <1%-5% of cases require hospitalization the cost of subsidizing lower income workers is incredibly higher even at $40,000 a patient.
Creating an Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search
They already delivered something with Forte. You earn "blocks" now for getting the weekly kongpanion.

You were supposed to be able to exchange them for chat stickers.

The launch was a disaster, partly breaking the site for 2 days, and they had to disable the stickers.

And without chat, I don't see much point in the stickers. (Maybe they'll find something else to do with the blocks, stickers were never that interesting to me anyway.)

In a way you can say that rather than the beginning, Forte actually killed Kongregate, probably by draining developer time and budget.

Where I live, it is _noticeably_ cheaper to buy a house in a suburb 20 minutes away from the city center, than renting an apartment half the size, that would cut such car trip by 10 minutes. Given the current situation, it's a no brainer.
Thanks for the reply.

This makes sense, however it does mean you will end up hiring mostly from low wage regions. Which may not be a bad thing for the company, however it will be for people in higher wage regions.
Citizenship: Hypocritical and Random
I'm not really sure this is a good argument at all. In your scenario, if the two people have nothing to hide why would they care?

You're better of appealing to things that they normally might want to hide, like an embarrassing act or things that are said that are questionable out of context, etc.

A person who truly has nothing to hide, by definition, would not care about privacy. The entire point of privacy is that there are things that we do not want to share, for whatever reason.
Or worse, the one's who smugly say you have no expectation of privacy while in public anyway.
That’s the best part. Remind them that it’s not about you. It’s about whistleblowers and journalists who need to protect their sources, and lawyers who need to communicate with their clients. That tends to bring the ego down a peg ;)

But honestly, it’s best not to be aggressive. Some people don’t care much, and you won’t convince them.

FWIW, all my non-technical friends use Signal with me, and they know about verifying safety numbers! It can be done.
Police Clear Seattle’s Protest ‘Autonomous Zone’
This is true for me if I’m going to the park or camping or something like that, but for a typical day at the office or shopping, I don’t really need to be carrying around a carload of stuff.

There are many small conveniences that come from having a personally owned vehicle, but I would ecstatically spend an hour or two loading/unloading my car every couple weeks when I go on a trip as long as it meant I didn’t have to sit in traffic for hours every morning because everyone wants to have their own personal aircraft carrier sitting outside their office for whatever reason.
"over", hah. All signs point to COVID-19 becoming endemic within our (US) population, like the flu already is. Even if we develop a vaccine, chances are it would not grant long-lasting immunity, and chances are even better that some significant fraction of the population would refuse to get it for partisan reasons.
"One is a citizen purely on the strength of having been assigned to a particular citizenship by an authority — an authority that brooks no dissent, should you claim to not belong. Your agreement is not necessary and your protests are of no avail, yet everything about you — from life expectancy to your income and basic freedoms inside and outside the assigning state the world over — is in direct correlation with this congenital assignment, in which you can neither participate nor refuse in the majority of cases."
When you create a new rails project, the tooling for JS is set up, but none of that gets used (Turbolinks the only exception) unless you write or include JS code. The tooling does not affect the user experience one bit.

Well, the ipad pro and some MacBooks have USB Type C...
Do you mean mini USB? Micro USB is supposed to be a big improvement in this department.
> ... It’s about whistleblowers and journalists

They'll say the media is the enemy and whistleblowers are traitors who should be shot on site. I'm not even kidding; they'll say this.
Heroku provides value in other ways for us. We run on a number of other solutions, most involve shipping a ~100mb image. This can be dramatically reduced in size with a slimmer base image, which we plan on doing eventually.

In this case, heroku handles a lot of things we otherwise need to do ourselves:
- DB + backups + DR
- Network security
- Network routing
- SSL certs
- Easy scaling of resources
- Access control to operations (redeploy, restart etc)
- Audits of operations
etc

We can do all these things, and under various compliance frameworks, outside of heroku; its just exhausting and expensive. This project we want to focus on the product so we opt for heroku as it was a few lines of bash we were all familiar with to get up and running nearly prod ready.
No, it used to be where they would mention the name of the company on a still image and a quick blurb, like the other poster's youtube link. Now the company gets a whole 30 second ad like any other channel.
When your party is in power you focus on the metrics that make you look good. When your party is out of power you focus on the metrics that make them look bad.
A lot of fighters have "emergency power" controls that will push the engine past its normally rated power band for a short time at the cost of drastically shortening the life of the engine. I would guess that's what this is and why pilots are normally forbidden from using it.
I thought the “semi-on” state with the battery display was still just firmware and not full iOS. If not, what exactly is it booting to display that? Surely not an ordinary kernel?
I'm curious -- what's the reason for something seemingly as simple as a Lightning cable to have chips inside of it?

For most of computing history, I was generally under the impression that cables were "dumb" -- each pin connects to a wire which connects to a pin on the other end. There's fancy bundling and twisting and whatever involved, but it's still ultimately just conductive wires.

When did cables start getting chips, and why? Did Apple start it or somebody else? Is it solely to try to prevent third-party manufacturers? Is it for the cable to announce to the port that it supports certain specifications of power or data? (But why would that require a chip instead of just some kind of "dumb" extra pin that has some basic electrical property that can be read?) Is it something else?

I mean I understand why certain dongles have chips, because they're connecting between sets of pins that aren't 1-1 or even in the same data format at all. Or why the same might be true for USB-C to Lightning.

But for cables to go from "dumb" to "smart" seems like it kind of breaks all expectations of what a cable even does, and therefore how a consumer will even know what to purchase -- which, of course, has famously been a HUGE issue with USB-C.

Would it be better for us to go back to dumb cables without chips? Or are there good reasons why this is the future, where at some point we'll expect all computer cables to have them?
It may be fast, but it's not free software. Too bad.

... also, the UI seems to be a lot of white-space and faded colors. That's another negative sign for me.
I'm in the same boat :(

I have every single Shiny Kongpanion there is, have not missed a single one. I have around 70% of the badges on the site.

In a way, no more badges means I might actually get to 100 (yah right :) - except that with flash breaking probably 90% of the games at the end of the year, there's not really a whole lot of time left to do that.
Reminds me so much of Machine Man by Max Barry.

> landlords in SF cannot beat rent control with temporary free rent offers

> specifically excludes temporary discounts from the base rate calculation

I think you two (three, including "this commenter") are in agreement…
Insightful clarification.

It is hard to find reliable sources on this, I must say.

I base my conclusion for example on these excerpts from [1]:

> MCAS would trigger in narrow circumstances. It was designed “to address potentially unacceptable nose-up pitching moment at high angles of attack at high airspeeds,” Boeing told the FAA in a proprietary System Safety Assessment

(This doesn't specify whether it would be unacceptable for certification, or for certification under the same type certificate.)

> Engineers determined that on the MAX, the force the pilots feel in the control column as they execute this maneuver would not smoothly and continuously increase. Pilots who pull back forcefully on the column — sometimes called the stick — might suddenly feel a slackening of resistance. An FAA rule requires that the plane handle with smoothly changing stick forces.

(This seems to indicate that it would be unacceptable under the general FAA rule.)

> Surely no one's going to plug in their old full size piston pump and try to keep up with a plasma cutter and a die grinder, right?

Ford is advertising that you can literally do this on the 7.2kW version. It remains to be seen if the marketing folks are talking out of their ass or not.
> Especially those working in vehicle interior design - people need to realize we drive a deadly 2-ton machine on our roads.

This sounds very smart and serious, which must be why someone makes the same point in literally every discussion of a control interface for some kind of vehicle - but I challenge you to provide evidence that fixable UX problems in modern automobiles have led to an increase in accident rates.

In fact, most modern vehicles use touchscreens to solve the very problem that you are supposedly concerned about. Rather than a complicated cockpit full of individual buttons and switches to control every single function, most modern cars have a few easy-to-find buttons and switches for functions you might want to access while driving (i.e. radio volume, climate temperature, fan speed), and use the touchscreen to hide all the more complicated and lesser-used settings out of the way!

Do you really think that putting your grandmother into a car that resembled that F-15 cockpit would be a safer option? What happens if she forgets where the button is to, say, turn on the A/C compressor? Is she going to read every single label while cruising down the highway at 75 mph?
Good luck. I know of a previous Flash player built in Rust that was killed iirc by Adobe's lawyers after years of development.
What is best in open source projects?
You mean whether the decision not to invite any members of the press to the test flight was intentional or incompetence?
Road damage scales roughly with the 4th power of axle load. That means that F-150s harm roads more than Honda Fits, but both are a tiny rounding error compared to heavy trucking that's moving goods to markets.
That doesn't really govern SF rent control. This clause does not override San Francisco's limit, which applies to all pre-1979 buildings and which limits annual increases to CPI inflation. Under SF's program "A rent reduction is permanent and cannot be restored if a new agreement is created between the parties at a lower rent due to market conditions."

Note that SF-style rent control was outlawed statewide in 1995 by Costa-Hawkins. Only cities with existing program at that time can continue them.
It might cost “up to” 40k, sure, but certainly not commonly. The vast majority of people with covid don’t need to go to the hospital at all.
> America has a problem with the whole "call me daddy" fetish. I never understood what this is about. It's deeply pedophelic imho

It is impossible to have a discussion on this topic when some people use the word Pedophilia to cover "babies and small children" and others are using it to cover zero to eighteen year olds. While it might be immoral or illegal if a 55 year old is having sex with a 16 year old it isn't pedophilia. A Daddy kink is incest, again not pedophilia. Please use the correct terms. Otherwise it muddies the discussion until no one can discuss it at all.

>why do they have to strangle each other during sex?

Okay, now it smells like SJW and white-knighting. Many women fantasize about being raped, dominated and strangled. There's nothing bad or wrong in living out those fantasies. It doesn't normalize violence or cause rape.
Why would a manufacturer even make a "cheap cable" that didn't charge an iPhone?

Most people barely ever use data over a Lightning cable any more (pretty much only for dongles). Charging's pretty much the only thing most people need.

What cheap cables have you seen that don't charge? This is the first I've heard of it.
why is this getting attention?
Even if that's the case (and I disagree that it is), I'm sure there are "satellite families" with the breadwinner working in Europe.
Exporting working class jobs from a higher cost of living area to a lower cost of living area is on the whole a loss for the vast majority of people who are not wealthy and a gain for those who are wealthy. It’s a blatant wealth transfer from the masses to the wealthy few. So Americans get cheaper cars but no way to pay for them, and wealthy Americans get record levels of wealth.

Globalism is a sham and it’s surprising to still see someone parrot its hollow logic that only makes sense if you look at it in the short term and on a small scale instead of as a long term society-wide trend.
Same here, nothing but high quality cables (and battery packs as well DashCams and robot vacuums, etc) from them and with a wide array of options that I can trust. It was so disappointing when I needed some 90 degree lightning, USB C, and micro-usb cables but they didn't offer any (this may have changed, it's been about a year or so).
