I have not one but two inkjet printers at home. One's an all-in-one, the other is a large format photo printer. It's been so long since I've used either that the ink is probably dried up.

On the other hand, I have a cheap laser printer and it just works. I don't print a lot. I've gotten out of the habit of printing and filing most things and just keep a PDF. But there's still a bunch of random stuff: recipes, trail maps, various things I do need to send as physical copies, etc. I don't need to print it all and could take 30 minutes to print the things I do need at Staples or wherever, but I have a home office and it's a lot easier to just print out a few pages every now and then.
I use to buy items on prime day. I totally forgot about it this year, and was surprised that it was prime day yesterday.

I was looking for a mechanical pencil last night when I stumbled onto the fact it was prime day. I think the biggest trouble this year is the categories. Rather than just showing me some popular products on sale, they want me to drill down into categories. This is my opinion was not a good strategy.

My point is that from the perspective of someone outside of both tribes, there's no reason why one has to accept the conclusion that each of those tribes is equally enlightened or ignorant.

I did not yet find a source for 300mcg slow release, I take 300 mcg vanilla melatonin.

I take melatonin in syrup/drops form -- it is jus that I take 2 or 3 drops (150mcg each) instead of 10 or 20, as is advertised.

I was saying that I'd love to find a source for slow release, because then I could first take the melatonin drops, and just as I would be about to sleep, I would take the slow release melatonin -- that way, I'd extend the 5 hours to 6 or 8 hours of good sleep.
> Employers should not be able to deny people their rights

Freedom of speech means the government will not target you for expressing your opinion. It does not mean that your employer has to tolerate it. If I write an op-ed about how my employer makes a shoddy product, they are well within their legal rights to conduct their business how they see fit and terminate their business relationship with me. You seem to confuse freedom of speech with freedom from consequence of speech.
I have this calculator and for me, the case cracked around the battery door. I haven't put batteries in it in a long time, but IIRC the springs are very powerful and that plastic case is very strained there. My calculator is 30 years old now and I'm guessing the plastic is less elastic now than it used to be...

Hi all! I first launched Google Analytics widgets for the "Today" view way back, but I've just re-built the whole App and re-released it for iOS 14 widgets. It also now has Siri Shortcuts so you can do things like get currently active users and metrics from the last 30 days completely hands-free.

It also has a dashboard that lets you get basic dimension information. It's not designed to replace the full Google Analytics App, but instead be an alternative way to more quickly get a quick glance at how things are going.

With the release of the v4 analytics API I'm hoping to update it to support Firebase analytics. I'd also like to add Apple Watch support so you can get basic realtime information on your wrist.

If jumping out of a window usually leads to uncontrolled descent and flight into terrain, which then leads to experiencing a very large and sudden velocity change, which is followed by death from the injuries caused by said ∆v/∆t, I'm definitely going to argue against jumping out of a window. Sure, for the above A->B->C->D(eath) chain, there are many ways to prevent it from reaching the last node, but the default behavior is still A->B->C->D, so it's fair to argue against doing A without evident mitigations of steps B and/or C.

I use Arch. I had to set up a network printer yesterday. I tried to add it via the Printer Manager, and it would crash every single time it tried to add the driver. This behavior persisted through a reboot.

It is definitely not a direct contradiction. It's very indirect. We have an email thanking Hunter for a potential meeting. We have no confirmation from Hunter. We have no confirmation the meeting happened. We have no confirmation any quid pro quo was offered. We have no confirmation Hunter said anything to his father.

The laptop was supposedly dropped off a few years ago. Giuliani, Bannon and the FBI have seen the data at least months ago. The NY Post has had it in their possession. None of these details are confirmed. Which means they either failed to verify any of it or they may even know it's a scam.
But that's not AIs. That's 'the algorithm', and has long since already been made. Hell, it was made in Germany in the 1930s: it's called 'radio'. Radio is STILL used to change the behavior of humans.

I'm not nearly as afraid of the very large media companies doing this as I am of HUMANS taking the controls of such a machine and using it for that very purpose. Very large companies, AIs, nations are aggregates and don't inherently take wild radical positions.

Individual humans do. We're the random factor, the chaos feeding the genetic algorithm, we're supposed to get up to some crazy extreme stuff that will sink or float on the larger scale depending on how it affects society. But when we are able to amplify our individual whims to the scale of companies or countries, which is ALWAYS through using these utility functions intended to change the behavior of humans whether that's exploiting YouTube or radio, there's trouble.

I'm not nearly as worried about AI or aggregate entities like corporations. I'm worried about the existence of these utility functions, and before radio it was 'the broadsheets' and yellow journalism, and before then maybe it was nefarious clay tablets or papyrus.

Power corrupts, and individual whims aren't good models for healthy societies. We keep rediscovering this over and over, and sometimes the civilization collapses, and sometimes it doesn't. Here's hoping if we do get AI, it has some insights into this and why its own existence hinges upon not blowing up the underlying levels (of corporations, of individual people, of cells and the well-being of the individual people).

I feel like the 'thine arm/subgroup/demographic is unclean, cast it out and burn it cos it's eeeevil' is far more often an individual human perspective, amplified by these utility functions because somebody LET that human do that.

I don't know how this ever became an issue of "free speech" in the first place. This isn't a matter of free speech and never has been.

If you call up Rush Limbaugh or Howard Stern in the middle of afternoon drive hour and he doesn't like what you have to say, he's going to hang up the phone on you (assuming you could get through in the first place). This is no different - google has absolutely no obligation to host your garbage on their site.

If you want to post conspiracy theories, go buy a server from dell, pay for a business line from your ISP, and setup your own site, and host your own content. If the content you're hosting violates laws, it'll probably get taken down.

You're free to say whatever you want, nobody else is REQUIRED to listen to you, host you, or advertise you and never has been. About the only way out of that box is if you can prove they were discriminating against you because you were a member of a protected class (in the US) and not because of the content of your data.
Dropbox Converts to Permanent WFH
Whilst there is a pretty well fleshed out stdlib, since Nim can compile to C, C++, Javascript, and even LLVM, you can use any library written for those languages/platforms. That's a huge mass of ecosystems that are natively accessible.

Nim's FFI is excellent and makes this very easy without worrying about the ABI (since you're compiling to the target languages).

There's also excellent interop with Python with embedding Python within Nim or calling Nim from Python.
I was affraid that people with actual US military experience would share that sentiment. Also the international impact that would have. just thinking about a situation in which the US military would have any real role in who the next President will be gives me the chills. And it kind of would force every country with a US military presence to basically pick a side. Scary thought.

I just hope that the outcome will be chrystal clear, hopefully democrat. And that if it is not unit cohesion is strong enough to prevent the US forces from falling apart.
How to Enjoy Coffee
The article mentions ADHD once. It is clearly not the focus. But, yes over diagnosis of any form particularly when it leads to the unneeded medication of children is a huge problem. I think it is clear that I am not advocating dealing with boys by sedating them.

I'm glad you raised this related issue though as I believe that many of the legions downvoting my opinion feel that somehow I am ok with that strategy. I feel that the systemic need to identify energetic and inattentive students and then solve those issues with medication is a travesty that rises directly as a result of increased classroom sizes resulting from school funding shortfalls. I'm not advocating that at all. What I am advocating is that teaching strategies in my opinion do not need to be altered to accommodate boys contrary to what I perceive the article to actually be about. Changes such as:

* Lessons that are structured as competitive games.

* Lessons requiring motor activity.

* Lessons that require a combination of competition and teamwork.

Boys (in general) are already proficient in learning though competition and movement, starkly opposed by middle school girls who (in general) are not, at least not when it comes to physical contests with boys. Boys just don't need lessons that reinforce competitive games and motor activity. If anyone would benefit, it would be girls but that would also likely require a single gender school system.

Boys go on to dominate (almost) every profession so clearly altering middle school teaching strategies to favor and accommodate them at the expense of girls is both unneeded and would likely lead to larger systemic disadvantages to women.

I've been writing about this a lot lately.

Intellectuals tend to be VERY dismissive of critically looking at charisma and persuasion as tools.

They're convinced that since they're ideas are SO GOOD they should will just be accepted upon stating facts.

Besides, only manipulators and cult leaders try to be charismatic and persuasive.

But I argue that "If only bad people study charismatic persuasion, then only bad people will be charismatically persuasive"

> everyone should know how to go about general problem-solving, but not how to code

General problem-solving ability seems like a synonym for fluid intelligence, which is not very malleable. Learning to code, on the other hand, is possible with effort. I learned to program in the 4th grade, with videos and books I myself bought, without having internet access. (I could use dial-up if I really needed it, but it was expensive and slow, so I used it very sparingly; I don't remember how much, but around 5 hours per month seems an upper bound.) I had no support whatsoever from anyone (except that my dad paid for the books and videos), my mom only let me use my computer for like 3 hours a week (shared between gaming and doing anything else), my computer was old and slow, ... . Now, I sure have a high IQ, but I doubt that we couldn't have 20% of the urban population reach some basic computer literacy when they are 24 years old. Heck, calculus is known by more people than coding. Most non-poor people waste 16+ years of their life in K12 and undergrad, and learn very few useful skills. Imagine what would happen if we taught people a curriculum that did something other than pure signalling.

Underrated comment, right here.

I think the dream for most US actors is to get signed to a popular long-running TV show. Guaranteed work and income, with options to negotiate higher pay every few years, what's not to love? Unless you're that even-more-rare talent who can jump to movies and make more on one film than a few years of TV. But many have tried to make that leap and ended up poorer for it.

I wonder sometimes whether Robert Sheehan thinks he made a good choice leaving Misfits. He seemed very certain at the time that he would be a movie superstar, but most of what I've seen him in since is other TV shows, like the recent Umbrella Academy.

But hey, Sheehan leaving opened a spot for Joseph Gilgun, who seems to be doing pretty okay too.

There are countless examples in history where the majority believed medical facts that were utter nonsense, such as bloodletting, lobotomies, electric shock therapy, radioactive dinnerware, etc. It seems naive to think that somehow human nature has changed and the propensity of mobs to correctly determine what is factual or not is different in the 21st century.
You're getting free speech wrong, at least by european standards. In Sweden or in France, you can certainly discuss the topics you proposed without risking prison or worse. But free speech applies to other people as well, who are equally free to refute your opinion. Free speech is not censorship merely because it stops at other people's basic rights. That's merely finding a balance between fundamental rights that may come in conflict.

Russia and China do not have free speech. If you say the wrong thing there, you go to prison (or worse). That's censorship.

Oh no Pottering at work again! That's what finally drove me from Linux - PulseAudio and having dysfunctional stuttery sound after upgrading from Fedora 7 to 8 I think?? It worked fine beforehand. And then realising I was spending forever tinkering rather than actually getting anything done.

Like front page newspaper stories, senior politicians and even a dramatisation on the desperate-to-be-inoffensive BBC, you mean?

Fossa reels in $23M to tell companies how much open-source code they’re using
A few years ago I took apart my Correcting Selectric III with exactly this aim. IIRC there are around six levers which can be actuated in different combinations to select and imprint all of the symbols on the type ball. I had a lot of fun selecting them by hand to try to map all of the combinations.

IBM must have had this use in mind because they actually made a variation of the Selectric design that could be used as a serial terminal. We have one in storage at work but I think the mechanism is seized. Wikipedia has a surprisingly long section about modifying the Selectric to work as a computer terminal[1].

Asylum is a human right, that doesn't mean everyone can successfully claim it!

It means everyone has a right to put in a claim to asylum and have it assessed properly by the authorities.

> There is no right to freely cross borders.

In some circumstances, yes there is.

If there's a war in country A, and non-combatants flee to neighbouring country B out of genuine necessity for safety, yes that border crossing is widely regarded as a human right.

It derives from the basic right to life.

Doesn't mean country B will respect it.
Oracle launches high-performance Exadata Cloud Service X8M database
Yes, I learned a lot about inverse kinematics when I was upgrading my 3d printer to be used as a 2d plotter (simply printing a pen holder and figuring out how to create the GCODE).

Drawing a circle with X/Y stepper motors is more involved than you'd think. You can either resolve every step with a high resolution (command the steppers to move fractions of a millimeter at a time), or approximate the curve and let the printer do its own IK to figure out how to best represent them in real space.

Both have advantages/disadvantages. The high resolution approach can product more accurate lines, but can sometimes require more computation than the little MCU is capable of (which can cause inaccuracy of plotting as the printer fails to keep up)
Okay, then name the examples. It's not sufficient to say that examples exist without any further proof.
This isn't new at all. If I wasnt under an NDA I'd tell you more about how deep the rabbit hole goes. Keep digging, lots to find and crooked stuff to expose.
Plastics have an ingredient called plasticizers to add elasticity and reduce brittleness. This materials sometimes evaporates or degrades over time, hence plastics become so-called dry and become brittle.

This is why things crack over time and become more brittle. Some modern formulas are much more stable and can protect their properties for a longer time.

Of course, we see the effects of this resiliency as pollution nowadays. Looks like we made some wrong choices while selecting the items to make more resilient.
