Is this supposed to be ironic or do you actually believe this drivel?

Drive a modern EV and try again. Most Tesla owners will never go back to a noisy, smelly, crappy, slow ICE.

Note that you can also, while you're at it, abolish rounding.

You already have this in some sense on gas pumps: the price advertised has taxes included so you are not always playing guess-the-final-total with your money. Just pass a law that requires fair advertising of the actual amount the purchaser will pay, taxes etc. included. If there are special circumstances that might make certain people exempt from a tax -- SNAP is sales-tax free, for instance -- there are several ways to handle that but it's clearer when phrased as a discount rather than as an evasion of a tax.
Progress happens when people go outside of their comfort zone to explore new thoughts, but it sounds like you'd prefer to write-off the candidate instead of taking the opportunity to change their mind.
> hyperpartisan sites are masquerading as local news.

> while left-leaning sites prioritize statewide reporting, right-leaning sites are more focused on local reporting,

So they actually are local news, not "masquerading" as such. Way to sensationalize simple "people with political opinions do local news reporting".
you aren't the only one who feels this way :(
This happened 15 years ago when she was a student.

And how does this contradict the letter?
It’s like someone invented a spell that copies and shares things for free, but using this spell is illegal. Imagine if it was a spell that copied food. Morally this would be good as people would no longer be hungry. I think we also have a hunger for entertainment and being able to share in this entertainment with others.

I’m not going buy something that can be copied for free. I also consider this a vote against the “machine“ that produces this media. I’m happy if the distribution and production system fails and something new is born. I think then things will be created by people who love creating things.
Jordan was a little vague in terms of how to get the iPad as a source. I know that QuickTime can capture i(Pad)OS devices as an input source so it might be some built in compatibility when the device is connected via lightning/USB, but another route is NDI. [1]

NDI is doubly useful as it:

1. is wireless over the local network
2. allows you to use your phone/tablet's camera as a video source, which can be a reasonable webcam stand in (although latency will never be as good, so possibly better as a sort of secondary vanity camera)
(3. definitely works on Windows)

There are apps on iOS that will share the screen content and camera content and a quick google seems to surface the same for Android.

As someone who used to work in TV too, the importance of good lighting cannot be stressed enough. It doesn't have to be expensive, but a reasonable, ideally diffuse source of light will make the biggest improvement to your stream vs an expensive camera (and some webcams may need manual adjustment via OBS to best utilise the available light).

My fractal design case actually uses a separate cable for each of them. It's great.
A hostile work environment requires discrimination. She is not being discriminated against. Having smart and well supported opinions is part of the requirements of her job. Therefore her opinions are subject to extra scrutiny compared to the opinions of someone who is asked to do an entirely different job.
I'd also add a section about editing your OBS layout to include views for Chat and Activity Log. Those have been super useful to me.
TikTok = Chinese government? That is quite a leap there.
Those are three anecdotes, and at least two of them are not as stark as described. The data scientist's timing was bad and his prior relationship with several stakeholders was already on the rocks. There are rumors that the worker who had no idea what the connotations of the ok symbol are has been re-hired. This is hardly anything compared to the armies of celebrities who signed the Harper's letter and are mostly complaining that they can no longer express their opinions without being criticized.

The difficulty here is that several things are happening at once. There is a problem with groupthink at some institutions, but there are also people who are trying to suppress legitimate criticism.
This argument is used as a pretty classic motte-and-bailey. You put forward the idea that intolerance is the only thing that must be excluded, expressing it as blatant racism, sexism, and violence. You then slight-of-hand intolerance to mean an ever increasing list of "problematic" behavior as defined by a small group of vocal political activists. When people argue with this (the bailey), you retreat back to the motte and call them a racist.

It's also fairly amusing that a group adhering to a political doctrine that notoriously ignores falsification love to trot out (a tortured interpretation of) Karl Popper as a meme.
For what it’s worth, I came across Gender Critical a couple of months back, as a confused neutral trying to understand what everybody was talking about. My impression was of a community uniting around a common anger at new trans-rights encroaching on hard-fought womens’ rights. I didn’t see much hate, and indeed many posters took pains to call out their support for trans-rights in principle. I think the anger was real though, and maybe was mistaken for hate by whoever decided to ban them.
Before animated turn signals, NA's red turn signals should be illegal. And even more so the utter insanity that is using the same light as turn and braking signal.

A turn signal should be amber and absolutely not confusable with a brake light you absolute monsters.

I on the other hand use Siri all of the time when I need to be hands free or using my Watch.
>However, the demand over Teslas meant they almost did not feel any demand impact because of Covid, while Toyota saw a 30% demand drop.

Tesla doesn't even define what a "delivery" is (remember factory-gated?), nor do I believe any numbers that come out of China, so I'm skeptical that they weren't affected by Covid-19. Personally, I think they "delivered" a number to ensure the stock analysts are appeased.

If demand is through the roof, and profits are negligent, what have they cut Model Y prices already?

>if Toyota continues to fumble the technology transition

Toyota pioneered, and continues to sell, hybrid electric vehicles (fuel cell, too). Pure BEVs have many issues (including cost), so it isn't like the market has 100% decided on the technology yet.
Great to read your success story. My own kids have similar experiences, and none of them think I deprived them of anything by not sending them to school.

Two of my three children easily got to self-sufficiency. My youngest, 21 now, has not. Ironically that’s mainly because he chose to go to school, first public high school and then college. He has slowed his path to self-sufficiency by putting himself in a system that imposes arbitrary requirements (credits, tests) and timetables for graduation geared to group conformity and performance. And he still has to work hard on his own to actually learn anything. I support his decisions (and pay for them) but I can’t help but think he could be self-sufficient already, more or less, if he hadn’t added the drag and friction of school to his life. I would understand if he needed credentials for medicine or law or teaching, but I think he could have learned Spanish faster by living abroad for a couple of years rather than going to classes. I did suggest that but I have to eat my own dog food and respect his choices, at least for another year or two.
These do come out of the box.

The advantages listed above all come from the fact that HTTP/2 runs all traffic over a single multiplexed TCP connection, rather than HTTP/1.1, where clients are forced to open many independent TCP connections (because each is a single channel where responses must be returned sequentially, in the order they were requested, and so block one another).

That happens totally automatically, there's nothing special you need to do to enable that.

There are also other potential advantages once you look at push etc, but using TCP as it was meant to be used really does give you many advantages for free.
Did Fauci Resign?
> You get them as Web apps.

Microsoft web apps suck. The outlook webapp does not even support smart folders, and dozens of other "basic" features that the native apps do support. Same for Word, excel, powerpoint, etc.

This might be an option in the future, but right now, paying microsoft for their webapps is just a waste of money.
Re the tax situation:

When Australia ditched the 1 and 2 cent coins, making 5 cents the smallest denomination, the rules were that transactions ending in 1, 2, 6 or 7 were to be rounded down to 0 or 5, respectively, and that 3, 4, 8 or 9 were rounded up, and that this was to be done at the _transaction_, not the _item_ level.

Several companies and utilities had to be reprimanded or fined due to doing it per item.
I'm intrigued by these typos. q to g, u to v, n to b. Are you using a handwriting recognition system, by any chance?

Is that true for how hiring is done and how funds are allocated? In this case customer support funds?
For the record, I support this view. CPI inflation does not track with individual financial assets/tools or specific costs like education.
I believe by waiting they mean ignoring the possible issue until the situation changes. So yeah, you can wait forever. It's free.
In both examples 2 and 3, the author reads the same stream twice independently and assumes that a join is not synchronized between the transformed streams. This seems like a fundamental flaw in their offering.

Pushing in a timestamp along with the max/variance change stream[1]. And then using the timestamp to synchronize the join[2] would naturally produce a consistent output stream.

I quoted flink because they have the best docs around. But it should be possible in most streaming systems.
Disclaimer, I used to work for the fb streaming group and have collaborated with the flink team very briefly.

> I HIGHLY doubt Google has any interest in hiring someone with a Google career certificate. Instead they will keep sieving the top performers of top universities.

This is patently untrue; there are many internal pushes to hire from people without degrees; recruiters make a concerted effort to reach out to students at underrepresented universities (including historically black universities).

I myself work at Google. I don't have a degree, and barely completed any college.
Whoops, you're right that I didn't mention that. Connecting it to your Mac via Lightning makes the screen available as a video source.
> anti-Irish sentiment (known as Hibernophobia) has a long and storied history.

OK, then let's ban the mean Irish jokes too.
> It was a group of bullies who had it out for trans men and women.

I can concede this point without really hurting my argument. Bullies are no fun, and they're mean, and they're hurtful and (usually) wrong. We must still cross the Rubicon, however, until we get to (even your own definition) of "hate speech."
First of all etcd API is still available on a JSON interface. https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/master/Documentation/de... and some historical discussion here: https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/issues/1980

Many reasons to switch from JSON to gRPC: * gRPC uses HTTP/2 which means you can concurrently make multiple requests on a single TCP connection, while on a typical JSON API which probably uses http/1.1, you can't. * Type safety of protobuf types. * Bi-directional streaming e.g. Kubernetes controllers use the Watch API which notifies the object changes/add/deletes in etcd to the control plane. * Client libraries are automatically generated, and not error prone. * RPCs are already optimized for bytes on the wire efficiency, whereas JSON is not. This matters a great deal as Kubernetes objects get large in size/quantity over time but controllers still work effectively by not spending too much CPU on encoding/decoding like they do on JSON. * Similar to the previous point, most json decoders don't reuse objects, so every decoded object is a new alloc, whereas gRPC can Reset() and reuse the same object while decoding/encoding. * Builtin authentication primitives (such as JWT/tokens or even adding TLS to client and/or server). * gRPC has support for interceptors which are like middleware functions you can inject to requests/responses on both client and server-side for logging, authorizing etc.

The list goes on, but something to note is that etcd was not developed by Google (and as far as I know, not by ex-Googlers). Both etcd and gRPC are owned by the same open source foundation, so it's natural that they make use of an existing technology.
I love live coding streams but I don't understand why you'd stream a video of your keyboard at all times? From the screenshots it doesn't look like you'd be able to pick up on things like hotkeys when watching in real-time, but as mentioned in the article it does open the possibility for somebody to watch replays and figure out your passwords.

Keyboard cameras make sense to me if somebody is streaming eg starcraft where they're hitting 300 APM and it's impressive to watch, but I just don't see the appeal of it for coding.
> It is true that highly knowledgeable people know that Musk is an idiot conman

The same "highly knowledgable people" who have been shorting TSLA and parroting that the company is going broke any moment now, surely.

> That word has a long history. It really is the best existing word to use.

Yeah except it doesn't seem to mean what you think it means

> equipment on an aircraft or ship to make it continue to travel in the correct direction by itself without needing a person to control it

Whenever a crash happened where the car went straight into a static thing, or failed to see splitting lanes and crashed in the wall, Tesla clearly clarified that their system was "needing a person to control it" at all time.

So no, Tesla driving help are not an autopilot, they're piloting help or copilot or whatever variant of that you want.
What's that "hyper" thing? What's "hyper-conservative" - does he vote for hyper-GOP, as opposed to regular conservative that supports GOP? Are they going to vote for hyper-Trump? Or it's just a ham-fisted way to present political opinion as something illegitimate and out of the normal - it's OK if you were just a conservative, but since you're hyper-conservative, it's clear that your opening a site with local news is a national crisis.
There are billions more pennies lying in jars in people's houses than are in regular circulation. Even if we were to stop minting new pennies today we could coax the population to turn their pennies in and we wouldn't run out for centuries to come. There is no shortage of pennies. I don't care what Canada does, you're not going to take my pennies away.
HTTP2 fails for mobile clients.

it shoves everything down a single TCP connection. This means that if you loose a packet (and 4g is lossy) it stalls the _entire_ queue.

Instead of addressing the main complaint (that multiplexing everything down a single TCP connection is a fundamentally stupid idea) they come up with an entirely _new_ protocol.

It also fails to understand what HTTP2 has turned into: a file transport protocol, with some RPC built in.

So, instead of optimising for file transfer, a control layer, and a communication/serialisation layer, they came up with a horrid mush that is http3. (or the googlenet)
But that stuff is particularly relevant for non-owners as well and thus must be judged primarily through the eyes of non-owners. It doesn't matter whether Tesla pays anyone for screen time or whatever to get their message to receptive eyeballs - these eyeballs are those of non-owners which Tesla wants to convert to Tesla owners, that's the point.

The ban in question relates to any kind of marketing material, whether it is on Tesla's website or part of advertisement billboards.
lately, more and more articles appear, which outline what's the real and actual economic cost of 5G: local area, decentral, unlicensed Wifi-networks should get replaced with a centrally managed and tunable (for $$$ or power) alternative. I suspected this for a long time, but now, more and more people are openly acknowledging it. While this is good for surveillance capitalism, it's not good for anyone else... (I'll happily add some refs, if I'm off the commute).

It's a totally impractical, goofy thing - just for fun!
The author is arguing that simple, easy to use, and easy for hobbyists and upstarts to learn tools are being replaced by complex systems designed by and for the 1% of companies who will actually need the complexity.

They are arguing that "House Builders Inc" has invented an automated robotic nail gun and is encouraging standards industries to recommend the only things built with such a system are compliant.
--yawn--

Another dude advocating for the suppression of a foreign government. Been there, done that, seen it all, happened before, will happen again.

To think that a little app that promotes a bunch of videos of kids acting silly, is a national security threat, is ridiculous.

All you need for counter-evidence, is to look at Twitter, Facebook, and all the American news media sites and outlets. They routinely and actively brainwash the population, with the same repeated bombardment of information, even though they claim to be independent reporting agencies.

In fact, all the American news agencies, are increasing the aggressiveness of the rhetoric, and appear to be drumming up the mood for war against China.

You, as Americans, should be very disturbed by this. Because, if the United States engages into a war with China, then it is you, and your children, that will face the brunt of the violence of war. The American elites, and their children, will be safely kept away from any of that violence; and they will be benefiting financially from it all, while you and your children die in the Pacific Ocean.

If you want to ban TikTok, then just ban them. Just say, that you don't want any Chinese media presence on American airwaves. Simple as that. Begin your own censoring of the internet.

Don't bother with making some far-fetched reasoning that some fictitious enemy is out to get you. This is, in fact, what scares Americans the most - the creation of some fictitious bogeyman.

> Chemistry kits with a sample of every element in the periodic table should advertise them as "have all the materials needed for COVID-19 vaccine.

Not that this invalidates your point at all, but doing that literally would actually be extremely expensive and difficult for some of the elements.
I made no claims. Purely posted a picture that illustrates the complex geo-political landscape surrounding China. Context ...
LEDs are cheap. It would be awesome to replace them in many applications with a cheap, reliable indicator which doesn't emit light but to my knowledge something like this doesn't exist. Flip discs don't seem like they'd be reliable or cheap enough for a consumer product. What you'd want is almost something like a single pixel e-Ink dot. AFAIK, no one makes such a thing, and even if they did, it probably would cost 4-5x an LED.
It could... But each dollar they add puts the country's solvency at risk. And it's already deeply at risk.

But you're not alone thinking this. I'm deeply concerned at how many people think that the Fed can just "manage" this. I feel like I'm watching generational wealth falter and the spoiled children are reacting to the news with, "My dad will just put it on his card."
In my opinion, the BSD userland is much nicer than GNU: the documentation is better, no long name arguments, and simpler. Browsing the source is also good fun, the implementations are straightforward and look like how I imagine K&R would write code. This is in contrast to the GNU userland, which is just so crazy.

It's evident that the GNU people don't really like C and refuse to accept the language's simplicity, instead struggling all the way.

Maybe I'm weird, but I like using systems in which I can feel good about the code, even if I never contribute a patch. And though I use Arch Linux instead of OpenBSD nowadays, I don't feel good about really anything to do with Linux. The ecosystem is gross and has turned into Frankenstein's monster.
I just checked from my (government) building’s connection and, well...someone has been downloading some Lovecraftian horror movies. Not what I expected.
> Tesla has no idea if they'll need to replace or upgrade hardware either.

They have upgraded the hardware 3 times already.

Maybe the hardware in the last generation of Tesla's suffices, but right now, nobody knows.
I think you'd be surprised how efficient video codecs with regards to bandwidth used, nobody sends raw pixels at all. Also with HLS latency can be very short with the right settings.

A few tips for coding screencasting:

For coding screencasts you should make sure that chroma subsampling isn't enabled when you're doing the encode of the video otherwise it may look worse with highly contrasting areas.

Decrease the encoding frame rate if its primarily going to be just a screencast without a lot of motion on the screen. At the expense longer mpeg segments (and more latency) you may want to increase the group-of-picture size.

There shouldn't be a reason that the encoded screencast looks worse then how it appeared to you unless the encoder you are using is just mashing the quality down.
Thank you for sharing and making it.
