From what I've read a concern about using these kn larger crowds is that if it causes a panic of people feeling, it could easily turn into a stampede like event where people are knocked down, stuck only to have longer, dangerous exposure to the microwaves.
>Is anyone interested?

Honestly, I feel like you could position such a project as "Deconstructing Facebook's business models one step at a time: The corporation" and hire a lot of anarcho-hacker types while positioning the company as a social-good venture. I personally would love to get paid to gradually undercut and destroy facebook.

I worry that 2 things would happen:

1. The company would become what it set out to destroy (evil)

2. Anarchist hackers are passionate but you'd have a hard time getting funding from any of the big reputable players.

Still, that would be an awesome company.
They already had a similar app. They probably know something about the target market.

Because jargon is extremely helpful for communicating ideas quickly between experts, and it's a pain to have to switch to entirely non-jargon when communicating with anyone else.
It seems I was mistaken, rechecked my notes now: it was Larry McKeever's narration of Asimov that I listened to, and which definitely sounds like it was recorded in the 80s (Goodreads says that I guessed the decade right).

McKeever apparently was no small name too: “was an actor, narrator, and recording artist. He narrated hundreds of books. For more than 15 years, he contributed monthly to Braille Monitor, the leading publication of the National Federation of the Blind, and became known as the “voice of the blind.”
My Bose Soundsport and Jabra 75t support simultaneous connections. Faster than "almost instantaneous"...because it's connected to 2 devices. I can watch a video on youtube on my laptop and immediately pickup a phone call. I never understood why Apple didn't support this. My Soundsport also annoucnes on startup which devices it's connected to..which is helpful when you have more than 2. My Soundsport is several years old, and Jabra had it since 65t, at least.

Edit: Also apparently this device switching feature for Airpod Pro is good only for Apple devices, and Apple devices on the same iCloud account.

I guess object detection is the bottleneck of the pipeline, which highly optimized YOLOv4-tiny[0]could get to 39 FPS on Jetson Nano. Also camera decoding with Nvidia Deepstream is a lot faster than OpenCV.

This makes sense, observing services that rely on IAM/STS very, very routinely--but without changing IAM properties--and no alerts popped up during this outage.
Yes. There are plenty of developed countries with awful internet infrastructure. Australia (where I live) is one of those places.

My understanding is that the battery is the same, but that the new processor and screen draw more power, therefore resulting in less runtime.
What's with the interrogation? If I want to tell an anecdote about my health should I go ahead and attach my bloodwork so you can decide if my opinion is valid?
Let's say there was an "ideal" nonlethal weapon that could zap people and immobilize them from far away with no harmful effects.

Would that be a good thing? In a way, it sounds scarier than a gun.
But why do you repartition it?

Doesn't putting the exact same partition table on a device that already has a partition table result in no actual changes?

You seem to be talking about diversity in the hiring pool being good whereas your interlocutor was questioning whether diversity in hirings was a good.
That's an interesting take. I don't follow the VR market at all, but from my perspective Valve has been resting on their laurels for years. I've read that gaben just sits in his office playing DOTA 2 all day. Until I read your comment I would never have considered describing Valve as "kicking ass". From where I sit they've basically done nothing innovative since Half Life 2.
Yes, I was factoring that in but I dont think its that big of a factor, when I was in the scene pirates were estimates to being 1-2% of players. So even thinking about how pirates are advertisements for the game, I’m skeptical of their impact. From what I can tell, technical literacy has gone down in Gen Z.
This would be a workable explanation for being able to "soul travel" while meditating. When I did the whole Trancendental Meditation thing back in the late 70's it was all about clearing your mind of everything except a repeating mantra. EEG's of people meditating show rhythmic brain activity typical of sleeping.

If that is the case (and I'm not saying it is, just noting the potential path here) then it would suggest you could use a biofeedback system to tune the rhythm of your thinking to achieve this state without drugs.
For example, he banned tear gas and chokeholds, redirected substantial funding (I think close to 10 million?) from the police budget to community initiatives, removed police officers from city schools, and eliminated specific police teams like the gun violence squad which activists believed had a culture of racial discrimination.
It would be great if you could link to a recording that you think could induce this state, given that you’re an expert in this field! If I’m left to search on my own I’m not sure I’ll find the correct recording.

No, I should have never commented in the first place, but I guess what I meant to say is the media keeps making Portland out to be some sort of BLM free-for-all. Your NY Post article is a great example of propaganda: "Black Lives Matter militants." It was a BLM protest, not necessarily everyone there or inciting violence was associated with BLM.

I think you should not make such a statement without a citation. With a quick search I could not find any research that supports that claim and the CDC is still recommending surface transmission prevention measures (at the top of the list even).

I suspect you are confusing surface transmission potentially being the cause of a relatively small number of infections with it not being a significant risk.
That’s so cool that you’re here! Thanks for popping in!
Thanks for sharing, that’s something else!
Activists rarely care. They enjoy the power they can exert on others on the basis of their moral authority, and feel self-righteous about doing so. People who actually care about effective outcomes are generally not welcome. They get labeled a racist/sexist for trying to discuss solutions. The treatment of James Damore is a prime example.
sure, but isn't that a bit selfish from the app.

it's basically saying: i am going to take over your contact list, and if you don't want those contacts to be shared with other apps, then you can just block them.

what if another app wants to do the same?
The thing is, the concept seems to imply a decaying awareness of what's necessary. I don't think the concept is applicable here -

PG&E, the utility, had reports describing the level of repairs their lines needed and chose to instead not to perform those repairs and return money to their stockholders - so there's a consciousness here.
Also trying to find something, as layman looking for pirated stuff, you will stumble upon with a lot of fake executables filling the os with garbage, fake surveys promising the file, and off course porn. Always thought that burdensome journey to find stuff was very convenient fighting against crackers, not that crackers had to make it this way.

Furthermore, theres alot of moving parts in the tethered setup, easy to get bottlenecks in performance. I think right now this all in one device could compete on consistent day to day performance as well as dominating in flexibility and price.
Open-firmware has had a long history, with varied degrees of success. From RockBox for the iPod to the ReactOS open re-implementation of Windows.

I think now is different. I think crowd-funding has changed the economics of such projects from a few passionate hackers working in their spare time to now being able to fund people working on such a project full-time.

There's probably tens of thousands of users willing to pledge $100 into escrow on a Kickstarter-like service, paying out when somebody to creates an open Oculus Quest firmware capable of 6 degrees of freedom using inside-out tracking.

This funding model and skillsets are suprisingly close to what's required to provide Android security updates to older phones and tablets, so there's a broader business to be built.

Many of those users are probably willing to pay a few dollars a month so such software gets continued to be developed.

>California was, in Presidential politics, a Republican stronghold, not a swing state, prior to 1992. (Between Truman in 1948 and 1992, the only Democrat to win in California was Johnson in 1964; precious little swinging going on for a “swing” state.)

Look at the margins of those wins during those years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_ele...). The state consistenly voted very close to how the nation voted. Some years it voted slightly more Republican (Nixon in 1960 and Ford in 1976), other years less (Eisenhower won fewer Californian votes in 1956 than in 1952, contrary to the national trend), but it was always close when the national race was close. That Michigan, Pennsyvania, and Wisconsin hadn't voted Republican in 30 years didn't not make them swing states in 2016.

If for some reason you wind up wanting to move off of GitHub, I've found Linodes bottom tier to be great for hosting a small static site. You do have to configure the webserver yourself of course, but it's a step down in complexity from self hosting.
Valve is hilariously stagnant. The Steam windows app went ignored for nearly a decade until Epic came in and started eating their lunch. The mobile app looks like a contracted out app from 2009. Seriously, go download the mobile app. Half the products or ideas they’ve come up with abandoned, never release, or are mediocre. They lack any clear vision, strategy or direction as a company. They seem like they would just absolutely rest on their laurels and do absolutely nothing if it weren’t for pesky competitors ruining their laziness.

The only reason Valve is in business today is because DRM forbids consumers from transferring their owned games to another platform. If I could abandon Steam I immediately would.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I've got a bit of a problem with articles like this one. I'll try and illustrate it with an analogy:

Imagine some asshole puts an incendiary in an orphanage, and rigs it to go off when a nearby speed trap detects someone going more than 10mph over. Eventually, someone does, and the orphanage catches fire. Further, the group responsible for constructing and maintaining the orphanage hasn't looked at the place for 50 years, and so all the orphans are trapped inside and die.

Who's at fault? Obviously the the asshole, and almost certainly the maintainer. But the driver? They were the direct cause of everything, and had they not broken the law those orphans would still be alive! Right?

But most people will identify the driver as being at worst minimally at fault. They may have triggered things, and it may have even been predictable that speeding could kill someone, but someone was going to come along and trigger things eventually, or the speed trap would misfire, or lightning would strike the orphanage and cause a fire directly.

To me, PG&E is the driver here. Yes, they didn't do maintenance they should have. But as fires have demonstrated this year... fires are going to happen. Lightning, gender reveals, a broken muffler... Something will provide the spark. So instead we should blame the people who set up the situation such that a fire in the wrong place could kill dozens.

Which, IMO, is two things. One is the set of forestry management practices that lets brush build up to the point that crown fires are inevitable - which we do by putting out all fires as soon as possible - and the second is constructing houses to be vulnerable to forest fires. Forest fire proof construction is possible! It's just not quite so cheap, or might not allow a tree right up next to a house in the most aesthetically pleasing fashion.

But until we fix at least one of (and preferably both of) those things, fires like this will keep happening. No matter how much PG&E gets fined.
That line of thinking destroyed the wealth of millions of people in the 2008 housing crash. So many people were certain it can’t happen only because it hasn’t happened.
As someone who has pretty much discounted diversity training initiatives as a class, this actually intrigues me on account of the first point. It runs pretty contrary to the Critical Race Theory (CRT) based training materials that I've seen.
To be fair, it's always in the peons' interest to agree with upper management's proposals. And upper management presents a unified front, keeping internal debate hidden except to people of sufficiently high social class. Like, has any lower-level person ever benefited from challenging a corporate initiative?
...wait what. I need to know more about these nightmares that involves whales. Did you stumble across a particularly vivid bit of whaler fan fiction that combined Melville with Lovecraft or something?
I'm super excited to see an open source approach to these! Frankly I probably won't use it because I like the plain-text-files approach to note-taking, but when I evaluate new options, being open source and self-hosted are very important factors for me (specifically in the personal knowledge management space).

If the walls are metal, sure, but wood or glass isn’t likely to attenuate microwaves that much.

Example: WiFi signals are transmitted on a microwave frequency (at low power compared to this device), and the signal propagates through ceilings and walls without much issue
If I had a dollar for every damn note taking app (2 for open source note taking app), I'd be set on rent money for a few months. What about note taking makes people want to invent their own app? Is it just bikeshedding? Spending hours writing a note taking app sounds like a perfect way to not end up taking notes and to not use said notes to accomplish much.
>>And yet never in history has that been attempted, despite the presence of suicide bombers.

That, in itself is not really an argument. Nothing has been attempted until it happens.
this is a multi source problem. pgp failure is one facet. lack of land maintenance is the other . if the land were maintained the fire would have happened and been less catastrophic

Honestly, I am not a fan of "configuration languages". Why do we need another bunch of languages. Were the existing languages not good enough? There's already shitload of them.

The only place where I find it useful is when the config is provider by an untrusted party. But even then scheme, lua would probably fit the bill.

Not strong feelings about it though, maybe I'm wrong.

All I want is a library for my favorite language, where I can easily output bunch of `yaml` files to feed to k8s. I guess pulumi is kind of like that, but I never had a chance to try it.
Well, it’s because the more precise words don’t really provide more information. And honestly, we do this exact thing constantly in everyday life without thinking of it as confusing.

For example, “Usain Bolt is the fastest man alive”. Sure, that we know of. There might be some kid in Chile that’s .05s faster, but we’ll never know because his life circumstances don’t bring him to our attention. “The Bugatti Chiron is the fastest car anywhere”... except for that speed demon tearing up the tracks in orbit around Alpha Centauri. “Stephen Hawking is the smartest guy”, if it weren’t for that absolute genius herding goats in Siberia who didn’t get to go to school and has the local reputation as the weird kid arranging the livestock in novel patterns. “Tuna is the most delicious fish” because no one’s thought to make sashimi of that weird looking thing we dragged up from the Mariana Trench.

In all of those cases, there’s an unspoken “...that we know of”. Even if you believe that each of those cases is the fastest, smartest, or otherwise best, you have to concede that there may be another faster, smarter, or better elsewhere that we haven’t discovered yet.

So why pick on cosmologists? It’s literally impossible to declare anything to be “the most $X in the universe”, first because the universe has an infinite amount of stuff we’ll never be able to see, and second because we haven’t even remotely finished cataloging a zillionth of the stuff we can actually look at. Picking on them for not inserting a redundant “known” in every sentence, when it doesn’t add information to their statement and would just be adding filler, isn’t fair.
Yeah, I'm with you. A truly harmless long-distance weapon would surely be abused, whether to instill fear or just cause chaos.

I don't think the coastline paradox has to apply, because we don't have to define the boundaries by existing geographical features like rivers or so on.

Instead, you can simply put down a finite number of points on a map and define the districts using polygons (connect the points with straight lines.
By definition, bank capital is commingled. If you and I both have an account at a bank and the bank loses enough money, then we lose money.

What Glass-Steagall did[0] was separate the investments from the deposits, thereby eliminating one of the ways a commercial bank could lose capital.

My apologies if my use of the word “commingled” caused any ambiguity. For anybody who has ever worked on Wall Street or in investments, rumors run like the Mississippi during a spring flood through the community. Those same rumors can take down an investment house (e.g. Bear Stevens with the repo rumors) or a pre-Glass-Steagall bank. Hence the importance of eliminating the source of those rumors and the accompanying bank runs.

[0] The law did more than that of course. I’m merely showing one key piece of it.
Most of the people I know with PS4s share primary accounts for PS+ and games. (if you account is primary, any account on the console can play your games. You can play your own games on your own account, as long as you're online, and logged in.)

I'm waiting to see how this changes exactly, before I form an opinion on which one someone should buy. (on the PS3, you could have your account on 5 consoles, and each one could play all of your games)

For reference: I will only buy a console once it's hacked to the extent that I can run my own homebrew software and backups (morals aside, piracy usually gives you the best user experience for any kind of media.) on it, and even then I will only buy it second-hand, iff the price is right. Hence why I never bought an xbone: since you could load developer code onto the thing easily, nobody's bothered to find out how to totally pwn the console yet.

After reading the report, the NASA SWAT team is specifically an emergency response team for major incidents that happen at Kennedy Space Center. It's not some roving security team patrolling landing sites, etc. It makes sense to me that a highly important site like the KSC would want to have a specialized emergency response team, and KSC doesn't exactly have a large city nearby or anything like that that could provide such ERT, so it makes sense that NASA created their own.

I suspect that's the case for most of these other "unusual" SWAT teams in the article. The Department of Interior's SWAT team, for example, is part of the US Park Police and provides ERT responsibilities for highly visible national monuments, like the Statue of Liberty or Washington Monument. The HHS SWAT team is the ERT for the NIH campus in Maryland, etc.
