No TV allowed in our house (it's unrelated to ads: they didn't exist on TVs back when we decided to outlaw TVs at home).

I'm using something which is arguably both cheaper, bigger and gives more of a "cinema" feeling: a 1080p projector.

4K projector can be pricey, but there are a huge lot of very reasonably priced 1080p projectors. Just make sure to find one which is compatible with the size of your room (mine is in a big living room, so the smaller models weren't fit).

It's hooked to the system ceiling. If you don't like that look you can put them in a trap that comes down or use one of the newer, fancier, "short throw" ones.

The diagonal I have (for a few hundred bucks: 400 EUR IIRC) is something silly like about 350cm/138inches. Movies, sports, video streaming (Youtube or similar), ...

In my case it's the best solution: I love the theater feeling a projector gives and I definitely and positively hate the sharp and crisp pictures all these new TVs do give. Every time I see one at a friend I simply cannot stand the experience. And inversely: when friends come at home they're always impressed by how good the picture is from my cheap 1080p projector. I didn't even bother with the wall: I just project the picture on a regular blank wall. I didn't even make the wall perfectly flat: I just painted it white myself (and not even with a projector-specific paint: I had no idea these existed when I painted the wall).

It's getting used everyday since two years (had a 720p before that) and lamp use ain't even a concern.

As a bonus it's still trivial to find projectors without microphone listening to you 24/7 and which aren't sniffing on the HDMI ports.

Now I don't doubt that in the future we'll be graced with no other choice but "smart AI projectors", but that day hasn't arrived yet.

Are there restrictions to be enrolled as a participant in these researches? I still do not understand why cannot a large group of people be studied given its disastrous imapct.
Could you be more specific? What is the system? Details? Links?
Do you know which jurisdictions have a precedent of ToS being considered a contract?

Being a one-sided, no negotiation and with no "meeting of minds", most European jurisdictions won't consider this a contract -- facebook can kick any user out, but it is unlikely they could recover damages from anyone (or have standing). At least that's my impression -- though US courts, especially in states that have UCITA or similar, are more likely to consider this a contract.

edit: I've found two jurisdictions, and both of them require proof of actual economic harm for standing (among many other things). I'll wait for more specific details about Facebook's approache.....
Although I'm only 55 years old, I'm post menopausal. I wish to hell and back that being too old to get knocked up was some miracle cure for this issue. It hasn't proven to be.

I think that is the special* type of sand required for concrete production.

* Concrete requires coarse grains, which are found in river beds and beaches. A lot of the worlds sand is in deserts, which has fine grains due to its age / years of tumbling.
I don’t mean any disrespect, but history ancient and recent has shown that this is not true. On several occasions an upper class minority has been able to convince parts of lower classes to behave against their best interests. A very relevant example is the capture of the GOP and the enduring support they get from poor, rural whites even though their policies systematically favour wealthy elites. Witness how republican senators turned a minority of the votes from this limited support base into a weapon to completely remake the judiciary.

What is spent during campaigns is just the tip of the iceberg, and is a tiny drop in the daily deluge of propaganda. Look at the media landscape in the US. Private interests such as the Murdochs, Robert Herring, and whoever controls the Sinclair Broadcast group drive the narrative and the constant brain washing. I mean, they keep convincing a significant part of the population that accessible health care is bad. You seem to assume that people are rational and not easily influenced. They are not, and they are.
The article should be unflagged, you're entirely correct about the interest aspect of the treatment being used for the President of the United States.
Agreed. I maintain a fork of a package that loads plugins; and these plugins import from the original package's name. If I couldn't use the same name, users would need to edit every old plugin's code.
The criterion here is not is-it-relevant but is-it-interesting, and interest declines exponentially under repetition (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

Every Wolfram article contains provocative Wolfram-statements. It's our job to ignore the provocations and talk about the interesting bits. There usually are some.
It's sort of like how you shouldn't let the national reserve of masks go empty, even if they had not been needed for about 100 years.

The thing about farms is that you can't just start producing stuff right away. It takes months to actually grow out a crop, you need a seed stock ready, and you just can't deal with sudden shocks.

So you have to be always prepared because if you're not, even just for a few years, it can bite you in the ass.
I can't relate. Here is how I install pelican on my niche Linux distro:

sudo xbps-install pelican

I've used rbenv before and found it to be a PITA.
Chemical bonds are on the scale of eV---the cost to liberate an electron from a hydrogen atom is 13.6eV, for example. So the best you can hope for, in a chemical reaction, is a change in mass of the scale of 10s of eV / c^2.

In comparison, a single proton weighs 938 MeV = 9.38e+8 eV. So the fraction of the mass that is converted into energy is on the scale of 1e-7.
>The one that's almost completely harmless to everyone who wasn't severly ill and going to die soon

There are no facts I'm aware of the back this up. Existence of a comorbidity is not a severe illness.
With a traditional binary package manager for Linux, if some application needs a special version of a dependency, you need to install that special version of the dependency systemwide, overriding whatever would come from your default repos.

When you remove that package, you now also have to change the configuration of your repos to remove the one that it came from, or arrange a vendor change (the best case, with a powerful package manager like zypper), then run an upgrade to get the default one back into place.

What the GP is talking about is how containerized packages eliminate that step during uninstallation.
Yes, but that only gives me my own data. I might want to export events to a different platform, including which of my friends go to these events.

Also, I might want to read my friends' posts on a different client.
> Excel is an incredible enabler, and unfortunately it is indiscriminate in that it also enables people to do the wrong thing. The solution here is education I feel.

As someone who's both worked in education and is a designer for a living, I've seen this argument a thousand times about a thousand things, and while there's sometimes merit in it, it's usually a cop-out.

Why not bake some of the education into the product, rather than treat them as separate? You probably can't have finance 101 in there, but excel is an example of a product whose internal documentation is rarely sufficient to answer even basic questions. Most of it is also at the basic level of what some function is, rather than how to solve higher level problems or why you'd choose one approach over the other.

This approach isn't unique either, there's lots of education technology exploring the overlap between learning and doing within a single tool. The reason we don't see this more is it involves a different team composition than traditional software teams, which tend to not even consider documentation a central part of the product experience, let alone teaching.

I agree with any tool capable of doing complex enough things, there's a discipline and an art to its use. But to say Excel doesn't really have a place to improve here is false, it's just stuck in its ways like lots of mature software is.
Have you ever seen the way modern AAA video games are made? I have a feeling they are really the product of our time (large amounts of money, poor labour laws, etc), and we are not going to see anything of a similar scope before or after for a while at least.

This has been a godsend for us with a young reader that loves series books (Boxcar Children and the like) and our library closed for in person visits. There are literally hundreds of titles in some of these series, so she can pretty much always find one to read or re-read, even if most of them are checked out.

I would dispute that this hurts sales—at least for us. The long hold times and 2-week checkout limit mean that I’ll often buy the ebook to complete it or read it without waiting in the queue.

Plants grown in hydroponic systems tend to have shorter roots because plants don't need to grow deep to acquire the same amount of water. If you ever looked at roots in soil, you may notice many roots branch off into very fine whiskers, almost like the capillaries in our vascular system. Plants grown in hydroponics lack this whisker-like growth because it doesn't need it. Depending on the hydroponic configuration, long roots may not matter at all. For example, in a deep water culture grow, a very long root would just curl up inside the bucket, so it doesn't matter as long as the bucket has enough volume for all the roots.
It's my understanding that 170,000 per year is more than most managers will ever make in most parts of the country. However I can maybe see 170,000 making sense if it's based on household income and a household may have two manager class employees making 90,000 a year.

That said i'm still having a hard time believing the claim that a large number of households will have top 5% earnings. I'd love to see a blog post or something along those lines contexualizing that journal article.
Yeah you probably could. The problem is that major exchanges like nyse or cme have hundreds of order types and absolutely staggering volume. Not to mention the billions of dollars on the line as well.
Why are paywalled articles even allowed?
Wind blown sand you find in the Sahara is fine for glassmaking. The shortage is really about a specific type of sand useful for it’s mechanical not chemical properties.
For sure. I think the question is what does the empirical evidence say in this case. And, for complex issues where drawing conclusions from data is nontrivial, using judgement.

> There are multiple ways to shape, work with, or interpret data.

This is correct, but no matter how you look at it, the data tells largely the same story.

Maybe you think that the median paints an insufficient picture or you want to consider all quintiles including the bottom 2 -> https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/tables/time-ser... — there's been a real increase across all 5 quintiles, adjusted for inflation.

Maybe you think that this doesn't account for housing/healthcare/education. But no matter which inflation index you use (each put different weights to housing, medical costs, education, etc), the adjusted median personal income is up. (And YES, this all accounts for all those things -> https://twitter.com/jmhorp/status/1308799186301747200)

Maybe you think this is attributable to dual-income households. But when you ignore those and focus on single-income households, it's still up, and higher than boomer counterparts -> https://twitter.com/ernietedeschi/status/1308775197311467520

Maybe you think this is attributable to working more hours instead of actual wage increases. But hours worked is actually decreasing -> https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/AVHWPEUSA065NRUG

Maybe this is all well and good, but the lower wages have stagnated, and that's what we should be talking about...except that has also not been true in the 2010's -> https://www.cbsnews.com/news/low-wage-workers-are-getting-bi...

After a certain point, it's worth reflecting on whether you're imposing new constraints / explanations on the data for the sake of intellectual curiosity, or just because you really don't want to revisit prior conclusions.

> But, speaking of data, is the guy who's tweets you referenced - Ernie Tedeschi, a reliable source? What are his general biases?

He's a policy economist https://www.linkedin.com/in/ernie-tedeschi-74ba48b/ who's worked for the US Treasury, who's focus is labor markets. His biases are no different from Piketty, Saez, or Zucman, who also have biases. What's more important is what to make of the data they cite.

Personally when I am blogging, I am not interested in jamstack etc. I just want to launch a decent editor and type my post. WordPress does it well. I then want to self-host it quickly on a server. Again, WP has tons of support with webhosts that I can just install it without hassles (even though I like to get into nginx, php-fpm etc myself just because of the geek I am).

2nd, WordPress comes with a huge community and theme/plugin ecosystem. Yes, thats where WP can get bad too but if you don't abuse the themes/plugins, you can achieve quite a lot with WP without a lot of extra work.

As a professional though who provides websites to clients who then want to manage the content themselves, WordPress is the best CMS by far. Yes it can have issues with performance and security compared to say JamStack but again, if you know what you are doing and don't abuse WP, you will do fine. I cannot tell clients to use JamStack so that gets ruled out for any CMS needs for which WordPress is really really popular for.

If we want to kill WordPress (they came , they tried, they failed), we have to figure out a way to create the same ecosystem, CMS capabilities that WordPress created.
I mean I have no issues with fixing the immigration system.

My issue is with the problem being the cartels which the US has had a lot of historical connections with their rise to power, so I feel like 1) we have a lot of responsibility because of that 2) those countries don't fully have the means to solve the issues by themselves (obviously we shouldn't just go in uninvited), 3) we'd be attacking the root of the problem which is beneficial to both people here (from drug war effects) to people there (also drug war effects).

Trying to claim I said we should simply eliminate global crime is not a good faith read. It is a far exaggeration from what I said. Clearly a laudable goal, but we can significantly slash NA and SA cartel power without coming anywhere near solving global crime. If we consider Pareto effects this would probably be a better way to spend resources too. But the answer of how to do this is complex (not that fixing the immigration system is by any means simple). Saying that reducing cartel power is impossible perpetuates the problem and in of itself is a problem because it does not allow us to have the conversation in the first place.
Excellent suggestion. I would use garlic rather than peppermint because an observer could judge their reaction rather than relying on a verbal response.

That sounds incredibly dangerous. Shattering is a safety feature of modern glass, so you don't have huge jagged chunks to cut an artery if you break it.

They work toward making it more energy efficient (by using more optimized miners), but it only results in faster miners, not less electricity consumption. Kind of like how processors of today are several times more efficient than processors a few years ago, but they still have the same TDP.

Also, though maybe this is unfair, but Japanese culture doesn't work very well for software development. I worked with a couple on a project and they are absolutely unwilling to ask for help, ask questions, or proactively fix problems. Of course this is a very small sample, but I've heard very similar things from a friend who worked at a Japanese conglomerate for a couple years in Japan.

We know how this goes, because forms of it are what the current system evolved into; there are obvious descendents of what you say in the legal system. But that doesn't mean applying it literally, as with your "early developments", wouldn't have awful consequences.

> ...If they have enough money to pay the fines when murdering tens of people...

It's not about "murdering tens of people". It's killing someone whilst drunk driving, or murdering someone in an argument. These situations clearly still happen in the current system. But with what you're saying codifies that, if someonene is rich, as long as their crime is not against someone else rich, they can generally avoid any repercussions. Blood libel is still a thing, can literally see it in action in countries which have legal systems that allow it.
fuck "responsible disclosure"

the outcome of this runaround was that grindr stated they will create a bug bounty program

proving once again that the "market based bug bounty program" has better aligned incentives and results in solving the same thing, vulnerabilities that should have been fixed to begin with were fixed.
In that case, why even get a new TV in the first place?

It is not actually a very bad thing for the whole market to go down for everybody at the same time. What is bad is for part of the market to go down, or for it to go down for some people but not others.

This failure highlights how frequent, scheduled testing of your failover system is needed in order to be able to say, honestly, that you even have a failover system, and not just another box burning power and doing nothing. When you have a choice, it is often better to have both systems running all the time, at less than half capacity and sharing the load; or each doing all the work, and throwing away half.

If you choose the former, traffic can sometimes peak over half capacity, without loss. If the latter, you can check that they are producing the same answers, too.

No, not if the "risks" is comically small. The warning label becomes meaningless when applied to anything with an astronomically low chance of causing cancer.
