I think you're missing how pervasive & broad the issues are these days.

You mentioned you had a house. I'm fast approach the top 1-2% by income and think I can maybe swing a 1 bed apartment. It'll be borderline. Not house...apartment.

...no idea what the other 98% of my peers are doing but they sure as hell aren't buying houses. Meanwhile all the landlords I've rented from thus far where a generation older and had entire portfolios of properties.

Pretty sure I'll come out on top of this because I'm doing well, but can certainly understand the disillusionment of the younger generation
This sucks. As I saw this news, I'm in the middle of writing up a tutorial involving exporting 2D files from Fusion 360.

They have always been jerks about filetype export. I have tried and failed to export .obj files for other 3D software many times. They really want to use some cloud process, and it never works.

I wrote a script that imports STLs into Blender and saves them as OBJs. No cloud required! Works every time! Wow!

You can't hold your breath in a low pressure environment. Also the low partial pressure of oxygen causes it to diffuse out of your blood instead of in.

> I’ve never really heard anyone say their parents are/were abusive.

There are probably many people in your social circle with abusive parents. Just because they don't talk about it doesn't mean it didn't happen. People tend to keep their skeletons in their closets.

Related: Many men would not believe how common sexual assault of women is. A lot of men are like, "I don't know any women who have been assaulted." Really, it's that you don't know any women who have told you that they have been. For many reasons, most women only bring that kind of stuff up around a select trusted set of people, if any.

I always try to be mindful when interacting with people that almost everyone has some trauma in their past or some cross to bear. Just because they aren't showing it doesn't mean it isn't there.

You must not. One of the most important rules of SCUBA diving is to never hold your breath. A breath of air at high pressure (deeper) expands quickly at lower pressure (shallower), which could cause you some problems (a ruptured lung).

Like I said, that is the big difference, but it's also the only difference. And the fact that living in Amsterdam is so privileged is also not a good sign. It's not good if cities become ghettos for the rich.

And with Brexit, there's likely to be an influx of bankers driving house prices even further out of the reach of most people. Good for me I guess (at least if we ever decide to leave the city and sell; otherwise it just increases taxes), but I don't think that's good for the city.
There really isn't anything. For at least a couple of years, Fusion 360 has been available for "free" (users had only community support, had to write their own POSTs for cam, etc) so as far as I know no one has been developing or considering writing anything else.

One thing that's been needed for years in the open source space is a decent mechanical CAD program and integrated CAM system.

The issue is that such things are still dark arts to write.

There are open source projects that are out there, including BRLCAD, Blender, and other special purpose programs.

Fusion 360 is head and shoulders above them in terms of usability and integration with the CAM system.

Your desire to breath is caused by the urge to expel CO2. At sea level you have a large reserve of oxygen.

It is a huge gamble that you would or could hold your breath at the opportune moment.

With a lack of oxygen in the air, you will quickly and painlessly blackout and then die.

Question: How many americans have reached 18 since february?

Census says 4,021,726 americans were born in 2002, so 7 months since february: (7/12*4,021,726=2,346,006) + immigration...

I'm not so sure this is how we should read those numbers. It could also mean that the majority of young people reaching 18 chose to stay with their parents a bit longer because of the pandemic.
Thank you.

Also, given that colleges shut down and people had to leave dorm rooms, it very surprising that college-aged people needed a low-cost alternative housing situation? Especially one that could quickly be found?

I don't think so.

I always assumed it was worse than this: when you breath out your lungs still contain a slightly lowered oxygen concentration at atmospheric pressure, so the partial pressure of O2 is still quite high. In a vacuum this drops to zero, meaning that your lungs become an oxygen sink.

So not only are you unable to get more oxygen, your lungs are actively sucking the remaining oxygen out of your blood.

And we'd do well to price that in hours of work per week after taxes, including commute.

That is, making $30 an hour where a house is $300k can be better than making $60 an hour where a house is $600k . Think about progressive tax rates, CoL, commute time et al.

So now the design of the pencil, designed to be plugged straight into the iPad now has users dragging around an adapter, an additional cable (not included with either product) and the pencil that does not store on the device. Pretty clearly this is not how Apple builds things.

> Was she at fault, yes. Were the Uber engineers who designed this testing system at fault too?

Those two tasks are quite different. One is driving and observing new stimuli and the other is looking at paint dry. I don't think anyone could do that without adequate breaks.

I never implied that the guilt was solely on her... she's culpable to an extent as is uber for not having two backup drivers and/or more breaks to stay fresh. I don't know if they had a written policy about it but I can't imagine being on the phone watching a movie is allowed.
For what it's worth, I don't think the grandfathering applies.

I have spent a great deal of time thinking about contact discovery and how to make it private or infeasible to do at scale.

If a service X knows the mapping between a user id and some useful info it can display (eg the name or photo) then whatever you do to get that user id, you can then display that useful info if it would be shown to any user of the service. Such as Facebook showing the profile pic and name (that’s why the real names policy is DUMB for privacy). So people resort to effectively usernames. This means you can id the user across sites and then later try to scrape info associated with that username across sites.

The solution is to remove all info, including usernames, unless the person has shared it with you (eg friended you and shared some info like a username with friends). Most of us on forums don’t give a crap who answering, just their reputation. For strangers, why have avatars or usernames at all? Why have anything?

Otherwise you will have to rate limit scrapers and stuff like that, playing a cat and mouse game against sybil accounts.

> Ozone generators are a safety hazard to other passengers so I’m glad they are banning the use of those

It sounds like they're banning people from bringing them on board, on just from using them. Also there are other types of ozone generators beyond just air the ones used in air filters. There are lots of folks who are mixing ozone with blood and injecting it back into themselves in an attempt to cure covid. Whatever the risks of doing this are, someone having the machine that does this isn't going to harm other people on a flight.
The prices are way closer together than that, because both companies sell way more than 3 cards. There are three variants of 2080 priced differently and two of the 2070 and 2060 each. That's seven price points above 300$ alone without looking at the lower segment (2 of those cards are EOL but still available a bit cheaper at some vendors). nVidia and AMD have always had enough cards that are at the same MSRP.

E.g. the bottom of this page:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/14618/the-amd-radeon-rx-5700-...

At the lower price point nVidias line up is similarly crowded:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/15206/the-amd-radeon-rx-5500-...

Either way, there would be no reason to group the 350$ and the 400$ card but not the 300$ and the 350$ card.

BTW, AMD definitely didn't always have a price/performance advantage, e.g. the nice scatter plots here from ten years ago (that I randomly found):

Your lungs operate based on partial pressure of each gas. So, effectively they operate in reverse in a low pressure environment.

Also, at 1ATM you have 14.7 lb/square inch in your lungs, at 30,000 feet that drops to 4.3 psi making trying to hold your breath dangerous on it’s own.

Unconscious is either hyperbole or gross exaggeration.

But you only have a few dozen seconds before you become an idiot incapable of helping yourself. You can survive and be conscious for minutes in this state, but its "game over", you're not going to be helping yourself put on the oxygen mask once the critical period is up.

Given the tradeoffs of the situation (ie: your neighbor will be fine for minutes, although helpless), it makes far more sense to ensure the oxygen safety of yourself before helping other people.
The first point doesn’t make sense to me at all. No particular date was set for when users would be able to install apps with the new features.

Point two seems weak. The idea that Apple won’t promote apps with the new features when they are released makes no sense at all. You make it sound like this is unlikely, but I don’t see why you’d think that.

As for excitement - what excitement are we talking about? Users will get app updates automatically as they become available.

Are you suggesting that users typically buy a whole load of new apps on the one day iOS updates ship, but only if those apps have features only supported by the new OS? That would be an interesting fact if true, but it would also be supported by data, which I don’t see anywhere.

I’d speculate that users more often look for new apps when they get a new phone - which is supported by the data on Christmas app installs, and isn’t affected by this.

So we’re left with the possibility that the developer has bugs in the last iOS 13 version of their app that did not manifest under Beta 8, but do manifest under the GM.

I agree this is not impossible, although very unlikely to affect all but the tiniest handful of apps. Beta 8 and GM are unlikely to have significant changes of the kind that might expose such bugs, but again I agree it’s not impossible.

This seems like an extremely exotic case, and certainly in no way justifies Apple being called an ‘Asshole’, except by someone who has other reasons for wanting to malign them.
As someone who used to work on fairly old embedded systems in a safety critical environment, I am extremely puzzled by your comment.

Why you would need to modify your code because you have dependencies ? Libraries'API are supposed to be stable. You can update them when they need a security patch without having to change anything in your own project.
You should lobby W3C to remove the API from the standard then.

Or ask browser vendors to have a global allow/deny flag for every Web API
Is that confidence for the value or the category. It comes after LP in the image which makes me think it's the confidence that it is a license plate, not necessarily the confidence of the reading of said license plate.
They're actually usually pretty decent, back when I had a gigabit connection I would regularly saturate it with Xcode or macOS or whatever beta Apple had the for the week. The issue is that when they're rushing and developers are rushing they just don't handle the load well at all–right after presentation when new things get posted is usually a bad time :/ Perhaps they just don't scale very well.
The new location precision user auth seems to have been done in a backwards compatible way, at least in my testing:

- app with existing location permission in iOS 13 gets precise location.

- when the user prompt appears, it looks like precise location is the default in the UI.

(This is with an app build against iOS 13 SDK -- not sure yet if the iOS 14 SDK changes things.)

I think Apple will likely change this in the future, but right now devs are getting the time they need to adjust.

(As is, this new permission does almost nothing since 99% users will accept the defaults. I think they'll probably require more explicit action on the user's part to get precise location in the future.)
One example I saw cited recently is the Web browser itself. This is according to one of the original iPhone developers at Apple:

> Apple’s iOS rules would not have allowed for the invention of the web browser. Let that sink in. They would have rejected one of the most important technical innovations in the history of computing. Microsoft‘s bully tactic of making IE free seems quaint in comparison.

> But here’s the kicker: think of all the other amazing ideas that haven’t gotten a chance to be invented because they aren’t allowed on mobile devices. Mosaic happened less than 10 years after the Macintosh. We very well might have already had a browser-caliber invention by now.

> Just for people asking: the flagrant violations of AppStore policy that web browsers would be rejected for in this hypothetical are:

> 1) Running outside code

> 2) Allowing payments that circumvent Apple’s IAP

> 3) Allowing access to NSFW content

More commentary: https://mjtsai.com/blog/2020/08/25/potential/

It’s hard to give specific examples about innovation that hasn’t happened, if only because not everyone is sufficiently innovative to come up with truly groundbreaking ideas.

I doubt any of the original Mosaic developers had any idea just how important their original innovation would become.
I'm not talking about games, I'm talking general computer use responsiveness. the difference in computing resources between a pentium II @ 266mhz and modern-day CPUs is much bigger than 16x and even back then win95 was a lot slower than it should have been (we were saying basically the same thing - "why is this 266mhz PII not feeling any faster than my old 8mhz amiga?").

Again the "poster boy" for responsive interaction is probably BeOS - the original BeBox used dual ppc 603 CPUs at 66mhz: if you consider IPC, Mhz & number of cores a modern CPU probably has 1000x the computation power at its disposal & RAM is also generally 1000x more plentiful (we have as many GBs as we used to have MBs back then). I'll bet with GPUs the difference is even bigger.
