there are ways to get over other forms of trust, for example: use being pseudoanonymous. There is no way around video, unless you happen to wear a mask.
Using this for that would probably break terms of service just as much as a hackintosh would.
I was commenting more broadly
One can hope this will become eventually possible, but with the pace of PureDarwin as it is, I doubt it will before Apple migrates to ARM with custom instruction set additions.
Is there a fundamental reason why UV doesn't work on air? Wouldn't a UV approach be much more energy efficient and rapidly scalable?
Why don't you recommend Khan Academy math?
It's not as common as Lena, but I've seen a lot of papers use a picture of Fabio
No, the filter is heated to 200C, not the air. They don’t say what the temperature delta of the air is after passing through.
If you're reading this and you're thinking about getting into radio, you can get a Baofeng UV-5R handheld radio which works on the 2m and 70cm bands for $25. It has never been cheaper or easier to get into radio than it is now. These radios are completely portable and will let you "work" the repeaters local to you and can be received 10-15 miles away even without a repeater at 5W power https://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-UV-5R-Dual-Radio-Black/dp/B00...

Do I need a license, you ask. Yes, you'll need to get a technician's license to transmit, though you can receive on the radio without it. The test has no morse code requirement, and it's entirely multiple choice. The entire question pool is freely available and it only takes a couple weekends to prep for and pass. It'd be an easy task for anyone here. Most of the questions pertain to FCC policy as well as radio safety, just enough to make sure you don't injure yourself or interfere with other radio users.

73s :)
That's just been completely orthogonal. Autocrats that toe the line get to stay in power; democracies that don't get military coups.
Google was going to invest in Jio and they were beaten to the punch by Facebook. There was some talk about investments in Airtel but no idea if that had any weight.
That's more like evolution, like basic chemicals combining.

Computers are not yet like organisms. They are getting super complex.

A childhood is a very different thing still.
I trust you absolutely and toally on this. Why wouldn't I?

But if you had your entire net worth riding on it, would you trust yourself to be infallibly correct or would you trust something along the lines of a post-it note to be completely sure? You know, if your life depended on it on every single possible model of apple laptop in all circumstances imaginable? (Do we include if your laptop was interecepted and altered by a hostile agent? Because we know that happens too...)
It does work on air. Some commercial HVAC systems integrate UVC lamps. It needs relatively high power or a long straight run where the air flow and light are both pointed in the same direction.

And an Apple engineer also confirmed that Macs made in the last five years will ensure the LED flashes for at least 3 seconds, even for still photos.
Not all Christians agree on evolutionism, creationism, and feminism. So yeah, I'm nodding my head at the parent comment that said the grandfather comment reeks of coastal elitism. The truth of the matter is that there is a lot of diversty in homeschooling approaches and curricula among Christians (even evangelicals).
It's not a dismissal to give agency to the opposite side by highlighting their own inter-tribal conflicts and warrior culture.

As for the bizarre strawman tangent, I have nothing to say about Tibet or Crimea, so ... ?

Let's be more empathetic, sure, but let's remain truthful. Seemingly innocuous, feel-good statements like some of these land statements are not leading down any kind of path of reconciliation but rather stoking further resentment and conflict as you've opened the floodgates to unlimited re-litigation of all past grievances.
While there are many reasons why people should be retro crazy for the TI-99/4A, the Commander X16 is unique for a bunch of reasons that would make it difficult to recreate for other systems:

- Some of the hardware reflects 1980's designs. For example, it uses a CPU that was used back then and is still available. (Edit: or rather a variation of the CPU.)

- Some of the software is from the 1980's. That requires rights holders who are willing to license that software.

Those two criteria alone would limit the systems this type of project could reimagine. Then you have to consider:

- The people behind this project. Creating your dream computer in hardware takes skill and determination. The people following through decided to use the Commoder 64 as their model.

- A large part of the rationale is that it is "easy" and lacks weirdness. Many of the people interested in retro computers are looking for something more engaging than games. They want hardware that is simple enough for them to understand and develop software for at a low level.

Yet I suspect that the biggest reason why the C=64 was reimagined has to do with the community around it today. For whatever reason, Commodore computers have attracted a following of hardware and software tinkerers (this goes for the Amiga as well). I haven't seen quite the same thing to a similar degree of dedication on other platforms, aside from some particularly dedicated 68k Macintosh hardware presevationists and 8-bit Atari software developers.
Effect doesn't matter, it is the trying that counts. IOW: Don't give up so easily. Every bit of freedom we have took a big struggle to obtain. We've lost many freedoms and we will continue to lose more. Our struggle is far from over. If you could have done something you are responsible for the result. People all over are counting on you giving up. Don't make things so easy for them. Make them work for it.
Why not use a HEPA filter? Surely, if it can filter heavy isotopes, coronavirus won’t fit through. Coronavirus doesn’t last more than a few days without a host, so the HEPA filter will eventually “kill” 100% of the virus as well.

Also, ~8-18% of the population (mostly women) is allergic to nickel due to A combination of genetic predisposition prolonged contact with nickel-coated jewelry. Presumably this filter dumps trace amounts of nickel dust into the air. What could go wrong?
The report is from December 2019, it has relevance in July 2020. Android Chrome does not support uBlock Origin. Mobile Safari prevents more tracking than Chrome, which is reflected in the lower ad prices. "Safari ITP is compromised" is a lie.
Run your own machines.

You don’t have to use cloud services.
Good point, though if air continually passing through, the temperature delta would be significant.
So, COBOL is lindy. Not because it's more efficient but because a complete rewrite is still more expensive and risky. Though I hear now and then that parts of those systems are being rewritten gradually (usually in C# as COBOL runs on the .NET framework). It's just a matter of time.
Not Just Die or Survive
Please don’t get a Baofeng. Those things put out incredibly dirty signals. They are RF polution you can carry in your pocket.
I'm not sure I follow. If the LED burns out you're implying the camera would no longer work? I imagine they'd replace the whole camera module. I saw one for an older model on ifixit for $30. I'd probably try and snag one scrap. I'm not sure how often it comes up.
The incident is shady but it doesn't prove India is as democratic as Russia. The encounter of a notorious gangster who has committed numerous crimes isn't the same as assassinating a major political opponent.

How would the contract know that the job is completed? Ethereum contracts can only access events on the chain itself. There is no way to go out to the network and, say, ping the new Pi, because there is no way to cryptographically verify that this happened. So some off-chain server somewhere has to issue a command (with some private key) to the contract to say, "Yes, I checked that the work was done, you can disburse the funds". In which case you never needed the contract anyway and just could have sent the money directly.
When a Republican is elected governor in Oregon, my mistrust of that system may evaporate.
And culture around work too. I’ve a family member who worked on setting up a factory in an African country in post-colonial time and the project advanced very very slowly. Why? Because the workers and locals were stealing some pipes that were mandatory for the project. Also the second any worker was not under surveillance he was goofing around. Part of his job was literally to wake up workers and tell them to work. From what I’ve seen in Asia, this is not a problem.
Inform 7 Narrascope 2020 talk
You don't need a soul to justify the existence of knowledge that can't be reasoned. Qualia, emotion, feeling and knowledge soley from sensory observation fill that gap too. All of these things are perceived as a meaning by our brains well before they are rationalized. Feelings and emotions in particular break down under direct reasoned examination.

The mission to simulate a human mind seems more like a cultural precept for programmers. The physical task to create a human mind simulation is a fool's errand. The human body is incredibly complex and I doubt we'll stumble over the ability to sythensize that system any time this century or next.
To know or to trust? I would always choose to know if I can afford.
This argument is a great example of straw man.
Or, a translation, this argument is BS.
A camera cover does nothing to stop snooping, because it’s unlikely to be used. You have four calls a day, are you always going to remember to close that cover? People also have to train themselves to wear seatbelts, but it’s the law so it made that easier.

A LED indicator makes snooping obvious, exposing them immediately. Someone snooping your spy camera needs to record hours upon hours of recording to find anything they can use to blackmail you with.
NT licenses were included in the computer price anyway. I was running NT during university, and eventually dual booting with Linux.
How does citing the official source of the truth become blatant disinformation? Did you read the Act?
Your comment reads more like a rhetoric than a real argument based on logic and facts.

Well, here the vendor of a platform supports a framework. They are not the framework owner there (like they are for Xamarin, .NET, ...).
wouldn't it be advisable to do a factory reset on an old phone before giving it to someone else? There is a lot more personal info on there than whatsapp
WordPerfect is still maintained by Corel. The most recent release was in May.

They also maintain PaintShop Pro, WinDVD, and WinZip. I think they're running a retirement home for distinguished software products.
I used FreeOffice for a while, but strangely enough, I saw it struggle with medium-size documents. At some point, there were several seconds of input lag.

Apart from that issue, their goal is MS Office compatibility, and they deliver quite well. Even more obscure features like review mode and highlighting of changes worked without issues, and I was able to exchange documents with MS Office users.
Ivy League degrees are worthless to most employers except for what they say about how you score (or who your parents are) and this signal is unavailable to those who benefit from lowered admission standards. Does anyone actually think that you learn anything of substance better at the University of Pennsylvania than at the University of Iowa?
They can take a photo of you, not the web site.
Athens Georgia or Muscle Shoals Alabama for music.

The amount of insane bands through those include REM, B52's, of Montreal among others for Georgia.

Muscle Shoals had such bands record in North Alabama as The Staple Sisters, The Rolling Stones, Paul Simon, The Band... honestly the list there is far too long.

Both places are still going strong too.
These two are not mutually exclusive. To be more exact, coLinux is a VM running under a device driver. The driver is mainly just a bridge to get into the privileged execution path and manage the resources it needs.
Can one power up the camera for only a few milliseconds? Enough to take a still photo, without the LED getting bright enough for a human to notice?
Democracy is not just about elections. For instance one of the powers that people have in a democracy is to question the usage of funds and be able to get information about them. Similar to Freedom of Information act in US, India has RTI (Right to Information). But government has made explicit laws in some cases to keep institutions out of RTI so people cannot practice their right. Just recently during corona pandemic Indian government created a 'PM Care Fund' and passed explicit laws that it cannot be Audited or be under RTI, so there is no information on how much money people have donated for the cause or where is the government using it. https://www.thequint.com/news/india/coronavirus-pm-cares-fun...
For me, it's less about SQL v GQL and more about the maturity and scalability of the underlying tech, Postgresql has everything I need except for niche applications.

I too put BI, rules, and shapes in the schema or design. I'm choosing to express this with Cue and generate the tech specific schemas, types, and code from that. A database will never fit this role because the better definitions span tech and would be forcing concerns upon a DB schema that don't belong there (like data presentation to a user in a UI).

Then there is the whole data lake perspective and a BI engine which can span tech and stores, paired with how enterprise companies operate... they like SQL based queries which can work on data across their legacy appliances. Analysts know SQL.
Not sure if I follow your thought process, are you suggesting that people in developing and underdeveloped nations used to have more leisure time in the past than they do now?
There's an odd theory in history that you become your enemy.

Over time, whatever group or cause you focus on, you demonize it so much, justify fighting them the same way they fight you (or you perceive them to be fighting you), that eventually you're just like your enemy, only with different slogans.

That's why political differences should never be represented as wars, and groups of people with other opinions as enemies. Every effort should be made to personalize people who disagree with you, humanize them, show them kindness they do not deserve (at least in your own mind). It's not for them; it's for you.

Wars are bad not because there's some worthy cause that we confront and eventually defeat it, making the world a better place. Wars are bad because they harm the people fighting them, many times forever.

In the free world, we've realized that peaceful, loving, kind civil disobedience is the only way to change ourselves for the better. This is why. It has nothing to do with how worthy our cause is or what an awful thing we're defeating. It's about the stage we leave for the next generation with their struggles.
The Church-Turing thesis is:

"Every effectively calculable function is a computable function" [1]

The definition is a little terse so we have to expand on what "effectively calculable function" and "computable function" mean.

By a "computable function", we mean a Turing machine. The term "effectively calculable function" is a little unclear but one definition that I think is the closest to the intent is "it can be done by a human without any aids except writing materials." [2].

In other words, the Church-Turing thesis is saying:

"All physically computable functions are Turing computable"

That is, the physical world, including human cognition, can be realized by a Turing machine.

While one formulation might be cast in terms of lambda calculus, this is hiding the underlying assumption that lambda calculus is used as a proxy to simulation of the physical world and, as a subset, human cognition, effectively saying "if it can do lambda calculus, it can do the physical universe and can do human cognition".

The problem is that managers at small companies with some, but insufficient, technical knowledge also read these articles and think they need to do the same. I come across overengineereed stuff at small companies all the time for things they don't need but only do because it's what Google/Facebook is doing.
Parliamentary republic with brute majority would feel like a dictatorship. There's no real seperation of legislative and executive branches. Judiciary largely plays to win post retirement careers. But that usually gets fixed after an election or two. Democracies are often compared to China or Singapore on how they are inefficient in addressing long term issues. A parliamentary republic is a fair compromise between an autocracy and a gridlocked presidential republic like in US. If a brute majority mandate is used well, a party can bring along revolutionary changes in short notice.
Yes just look at 'PM Care fund' it is explicitly outside of RTI, and thus prevents people from practising their democratic right to question usage of funds.
Welp... I had no idea this was a centerfold photo and never gave it a second thought until now. I appreciate the heads up, op.
The problem with Indian education system is that it is rote-learning focused. People do courses for sake of getting jobs and therefore everyone tries to game the system by optimizing for some metrics. It is not fundamentally geared towards shipping labour to other countries.
Is there anything near their price that can get people up and making QSOs that is much better? Possibly the Yaesu FT-4X but that's $85, so considerably more than the UV-5R.
Funny thing, I did not said whether he is wrong or right. I said what literally all his articles are, regardless of whether he is wrong or right.

The only one that I think he really really should not write was one about civility and discourse.

And I am not asking for statistical analysis either. All I am saying is he resonates with those who agree with him, because his whole thing is insulting common ennemy while being funny.
If AWS cost is 80% of revenue, and the added cost per customer isn't paying for itself, perhaps one could either charge more or pause customer acquisition?
That is exactly what OP meant: you need to

A) trust that in your actual laptop in front of you, this mechanism is correctly implemented.

B) trust that you are not in the vulnerable phase where your LED broke and you did not notice yet. (Especially when you rarely use your camera).
Quite apart from their quality, a VHF handheld is possibly the most boring possible introduction to amateur radio. There is so much more you can do that is so much more interesting than hearing 80 year old retirees talk about their prostates on the local repeaters.
This seems like a massive UX issue in that a lot of people want it closed and that they're putting the light sensor close to it. In the future, they should put a lid over it. People seem to be more worried about accidentally opening FB live or Zoom rather than hacking.
Android has supported NFC security keys for a long time, and I believe it's automatic for websites that support U2F. I'm not sure about iOS, in the past it used to be impossible.
Cool idea, but it uses charliepixeling:

I don't think that's a fair statement, given Phil Wadler's formal work on generics in Go - "Featherweight Go" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.11710) - which is acknowledged here: https://blog.golang.org/generics-next-step
Agile Initiative Planning with Roadmaps
The problem might not be bad web form UX either. The general problem is one of a new code change requirement in a legacy system. Perhaps we should think about creating an On-Boarding document for new developers before dismantling the original development team, ready to bootstrap a new development team. It could be part of the regular business continuity plans that many companies actively maintain.

This has the feel of a corollary to Fred Brook’s The Mythical Man-Month; The Mythical Effective New Man After Many Inactive Months.

I agree with this; the only downside is aggressive spam filtering often sinkholes XYZ domains. After having 3-4 important emails get sent to a customer's spam inbox in a month we moved to a .com
This is such great post which should be shared widely.
I basically agree with you, just trying to get people interested in something other than C64. It's impressive that they got permission to use Commodore BASIC (and Kernal?).
Can confirm. Once there was demand for IT because of outsourcing, everyone studied CSE and most of them didn't have interest in it, obviously. This explains the quality of work outsourced to sweatshops like Infosys and TCS.
No, because the LED doesn't need nearly as much power as the camera. And it takes the camera more than a few miliseconds to start working.
Not really when the parties choose the observers.
This is a great post, expressing thoughts that have been brewing in my mind much better than I could. I couldn't agree more with the fundamental thesis that 280 characters cannot lead to meaningful discourse as your exposure to different communities grows. In their own words,

> To run a high-follower account on twitter is to be constantly exposed to entire communities whose members will treat you as an enemy to be defeated or a buffoon to be humiliated the minute they become aware of you.

To me, though, this post begs the question: if having a large number of followers is so toxic, why do it? This post clearly misses the tight-knit blog communities of yesterday, yet they still insist on maintaining a public, high-follower profile.

If you are writing something worth reading, and only (mostly) care to interact with people who also write things worth reading, it doesn't seem prudent to open yourself up to the Internet at large. Private profiles can't be retweeted, and you get to moderate your reader list. Obviously, you reach a smaller audience, but if you are interested in "open and honest exchanges," finding people that are "intellectually interested," and getting away from the "bare-knuckle brawl," then isn't that a far, far better way to reach that goal?

> Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
What about replacing the laptop and just cloning the content. I wouldn't notice.
I had one as kid and picked up one a few years ago. Would have been interesting to see what TI could have done in early computer market if they hadn't crippled the machine (intentionally or not) and not fought third party development.
