I have a standard computer without an extra video card (only the one on the MB) that I use as my main server running 30 services or so on docker.

It sits in the living room and I honestly do not hear it ever, except when it starts to vibrate for some reason sometimes (I will hunt that down someday)

This includes the time I slept a few times on the couch that is just next to it and I was annoyed by a small wall clock 5 meters away (I took the battery off and it is 11:15-ish now for 2 or 3 years, nobody noticed I think)

So that really may happen.

EDIT : I just checked and the clock is still off :)
The park in question here is on a rather different scale than what you're thinking of. The Foothills Park is an open space of roughly 1,400 acres (570 ha).
What's needed here is sympathy. They could as well be depressed, addicted or have any other problem they're trying to run away from. Or just a broken sleep cycle. Bottom line is, if you're bitter about it, you're unlikely to change anything and only get to accumulate resentment.
Exactly this. Imagine you work at BigCorp and use protobuf to pass data around - now you have a unified data model you can share and everyone can use the same client to access it without going through the trouble of maintaining all those getters and setters. Rolling your own getters and setters is fine in a small project but you really see the advantages of the code gen approach once you are dealing with multiple different teams in an org working with the same complex data model.

There are definitely some downsides to the approach though, mostly typical problems you would expect with machine generated code. Namely that it’s verbose and if you have a super complex protobuf data model (hundreds or thousands of fields) and want to ship a fatjar or similar bundling of dependencies you can run into some size issues.
The solution to gerrymandering is probably social, not mathematical, because the goals we want to pursue in district-drawing aren't strictly mathematical.

I only use fusion as a slicer to generate the tool-path for my MPCNC. The high-speed machining is great to allow to mill some harder materials without breaking the drill bits.

Removing the rapid movement seems like a petty move.

Removing the simulation is fine for me if that's not the simulation of the manufacturing operations which is absolute necessity.

Hopefully that move will help some slicer like Cura expand and do some CAM code, because up until now there was no need to develop because Fusion was really good and was free.
It has been a mostly steady trend since 1960 at 29% to now where it is at 52%. All of your examples of young adults choosing to live with their parents are because of COVID-19, which can only account for the 5% increase since February 2020, not the other 18% increase since the 1960s.

This is interesting as not anyone can wear masks for duration of a flight.

Just couple weeks ago there was an incident in my country, where a domestic flight had to emergency land to kick out a person on the ground of cabin disturbances, who was also not wearing a mask.

Story goes as follows: the person refused masks for claimed medical conditions, while pointing out that the mask policies at this point are voluntary basis. Airline crew accepted that and the plane took off, but then the person didn't like voices from other passengers around(?) and started harassing crews to order them to make an apology for the person(??) to the point the plane landed and person was forced out. Damages are estimated at $100k ranges, flight was delayed by couple hours, and the person in question is still standing boldly on media interviews in refusing masks, "defending rights", and demanding apologies. In short I think the person was legitimately bit autistic aside from being a complete jerk.

But clearly the pain of facial masks vary person to person, so be it developmental issues or skin conditions or ear or facial shape issues the masks could be beyond their tolerances. I wonder what will be the best course forward...

It has been my main search engine for a few years. After Microsoft bought Powerset, Bing became broadly competitive with Google.

In the last two weeks I feel Bing has gotten worse, it often refuses to give authoritative answers for queries like "css grid layout specification" and instead spams you with spam pages with watered down explanations, inserted factual and grammatical errors, and lots of Google™️ ads.

I know why Google does it, not why Microsoft does it.
Not sure the chasm is as big as you think. This is exactly how things operate for the most part in the US as well.
That's probably because none of the things you mentioned are "discriminatory" - anyone can rent them for a fee. The article is clearly talking about quite literal discriminatory action, that and group can and one group cannot.
I fail to see how this would apply to a public park. Certainly it would cost much more money to enforce the "resident only" rules, with security guards, cameras, identification check-points on the roads.

I see two possibilities:

1. They're using the console model. You don't make money off the hardware. You make money off the software sales.

2. They're investing in the VR market, and they have no intention of making any money off this iteration. By selling a compelling device at such a low price point, they effectively make the VR market more mainstream and gain control of it at the same time.

These two options aren't mutually exclusive.

A lot of people are touting the idea that they're selling your data to make up for it. I strongly doubt that. While they most certainly are using data collected from the device to make money, it isn't likely that they'll make enough money off of that data alone to make up the difference.
That sounds identical to anywhere I've ever lived in the US

Breathe out completely then stop your lungs and see how long until you get a little dizzy/can't stand it.

Depressurization means oxygen is quickly escaping, but that doesn't mean that people will rationally take a giant breath of air and hold it. I imagine most people continue breathing normally, or more rapidly due to increased stress. Not realizing that they are sucking in less and less oxygen, and begin to lose consciousness.
How are you ever going to be financially free from eating out less often? A meal at a restaurant costs what, $100? That's $5K a year. No holiday, another $5K maybe? Cheaper phone, ok, you don't buy the newest iPhone, so maybe you save most of a grand in relation to iPhone couples.

Even the car cost is not as big as the sticker price, because it has residual value. Granted it may be a big figure, but it is also spread over several years.

Seems to me you're literally one raise ($10K or so, and there's two of you?) away from making up such deficits, and you want to be near opportunity for that to happen.
They are adults. They can make their own decisions. I'm not going to tell them what to do. I tried to teach them the right things to do when they were growing up. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. They have their agency and have chosen the path they want to take.

I think the correct solution is a machine that prints out both a human- and machine-readable representation of the vote. The voter can confirm that the human-readable representation is correct, and you can randomly hand-count a few boxes of ballots to check that the hand-count matches the machine-count.

An election doesn't need to be tamper-proof we just need to be able to detect tampering well enough to make tampering a loser's game.
Ouch, that sucks.

I'll have to pay more attention in the future.

I lived in PA for a bit. A local who worked for the city told me about this park. I couldn’t believe it was residents only. Sure enough they won’t let you in when you walk up unless you can prove you live there. I was blown away because I felt that wasn’t really possible in this area. This was 2009. Long time coming I guess.
That's not true. https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/gov/depts/csd/parks/preserves...
If the park is routinely used for presentations and events, there's case law that says that residents-only restrictions infringe the First Amendment. Public parks are one of the archetypical "public fora" considered in constitutional law.

Why do they need to bring it on board if they aren't going to use it? Given it's a safety risk if used and has no approved therapeutic use the rule seems fine.

Abbott's worst two decisions while PM were, IMHO:

Killing our nascent Fibre-to-the-Home rollout which had just begun after years of planning by the previous government. We now use problematic mish mash of slow copper instead of fibre (Murdoch wanted this so Tony gave it up for him).

Killing the mining tax for his donors. This would would have returned billions for our country. We could have begun a sovereign wealth fund like Norway who have over $1 Trillion in theirs. Australia also makes minimal profit from gas exports. Qatar exports less than us but their country profits 2600% more per year than Australia.

Domestic buyers on the east coast of Australia now pay one of the highest prices in the world for gas. Double the price our exporters are buying it for (and they have liquefaction and transport costs included).

Outdoor public spaces typically are treated differently from a legal perspective. Preventing non-residents from using public roads or sidewalks isn't done anywhere that I'm aware of, for instance. My town on the east coast does this with local parks, and I'm fairly certain the motivation is (historically and currently) to prevent residents of the neighboring (less-rich/white) towns from entering, and for giving police a pretext to hassle them. I'm not aware of any non-affluent towns that have such policies and many affluent ones that do.

Right now my options at home at unreliable expensive cable, or slow DSL with a data cap. I currently have both, as I got tired of outages when I am trying to work or watch Netflix. I have a UniFi Dream Machine Pro that will auto fail over when the cable goes down.

And Europe certainly didn't bounce back after the war. Even the UK had rationing for several years after the war.

> I have noticed that most of my fellow millennials seem to have completely forgotten the concept of "starter home" and assume that as soon as you turn 25 you should be entitled to a 4 bedroom house with a pool, huge yard, wonderful neighborhood, three-car garage, etc.

There was a three-week gap since the last Xcode update and Apple is notorious for breaking stuff between Betas. We were given a single day to get everything set up (CI/CD, signing certificates, provisioning profiles, etc), update our codebase (yes there were source changes made in the GM update), and test that everything works (three weeks worth of Xcode changes), so no it's not really how you picture it to be. Having iOS14 features ready to be in sync with the iOS14 launch is pretty crucial for apps.

Even major apps like Instagram and Snapchat still have critical camera bugs on my phone right now that's running the latest iOS14Beta8 build.

It's migration season. Smoke inhalation reduces breathing efficiency. Flying above the smoke is less efficient with reduced thermal lift activity. Poor visibility makes supplemental calories and overnight roost locations harder to find. More calories burned all around, and fewer calories are accessible, for thousands of miles of migration route.

Layman here.

Most classes of stars are already hot enough that molecules are torn apart. The atoms are in a gas or plasma state. Pairs of atoms will pass through transient states that could be classed as “molecules” but they’re very short-lived. Electrons—a key part of chemical reactions—flow freely like in metal.

Hydrogen atoms are just a single proton with some number of neutrons. I’m not sure if the proton itself is stretched (Is a gluon a particle like a proton is a particle??), or if the EM field around the proton is so influenced that electrons move around it like it’s a rod/cylinder.

I don't want websites asking me to enable notifications. 99.9% of the time, the answer is no.

I don't want websites asking me to enable location access. 99.9% of the time, the answer is NO.

Nor do I want them asking for permissions to install to my Home Screen (the answer is no), or to track me (the answer is NO).

>Or ask browser vendors to have a global allow/deny flag for every Web API

When possible, I've carefully configured my browser to automatically reject these requests, but instead of respecting that, these websites, with all their hubris, have chosen to circumvent my preferences by presenting shitty JS-based permission requests (as opposed to using the permissions UI built into the browser).

Each one of these new web APIs have significantly degraded my experience as an end user, by presenting a million permission dialogs whenever I'm visiting webpages, without providing me with any features of value (again, because I'm not ever, ever gonna trust some random website with these permissions).

Users don't care to pontificate about the virtues of the open web, they just want their stuff to work. And until the open web can provide a better user experience, of course users are going to flock to various walled gardens (App Stores, Facebook, etc...). Until we find a way to implement web standards elegantly, without degrading the user experience, the open web is always going to face an uphill battle over the relative safety of walled gardens.

Despite what Government thinks of Google, I think holding antitrust hearings is just a political theatre. At the end of the day they might slap Google with a penalty which by all accounts will be just a margin of error tax write off. If the government really wants to encourage competition, they need to enable creation of new businesses, plain and simple.

Google isn't a Monopoly as much as they just have the most eyeballs because they built a great company. But Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, Reddit, and a few dozen smaller players, are all the answer to Google's monopoly.

I've just spent a few days testing different ad segments, and for the one I was doing, it turns out Reddit was 5x cheaper than the next cheapest source. Cool right?

What we need is more companies that are able to capture eyeballs, and an efficient mechanism to distribute ads among them.
