I just flashed Tasmota on to three Sonoff S26’s without any soldering. I did need a USB to serial adapter to connect to the serial and power pins - I got one that included an ESP-01 so I knew it should work [0]. I also needed some bits of wire and crocodile clips, but that's all. The S20 is easier by all accounts, but I didn't know that until I'd already got the S26's. Having three to flash, I was motivated to figure out a solution that didn't involve soldering.

I'm really happy to see this, they have a great product.
So - am way out of my depth here and I agree with the comment above - but I had imagined, given the fashion aspect you could consider something similar to the ear cuff design e.g: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PO5tT-NZ-zI/UYnN0LqO7_I/AAAAAAAABy...
.. as worn in many asian countries. I imagine more of the design could be aesthetic, it could allow you to place the microphone closer to the ear canal (and potentially hide components behind the ear?)addressing some of the other comments about sound quality.
- very happy to be wrong about all of the above :) - just some thoughts.
I am so glad I wasn't the only person that questioned this. Also in relation to another story I saw that had found tomato plants growing on railways - and found these due to the onboard toilets dumping their contents directly on the line. The assumption being the commuters ate a lot of cheese & tomato sandwiches. Does this mean disaster is inevitable?!
One of the few frameworks with decent SCXML support.
That's a Crytek title though. There's not many external teams licensing the engine (never really have been though). Arguably, focusing on creating great games instead of licensing the engine makes more sense for them anyway.

Wasn't the point of the Fi/Hangouts integration to allow making and receiving calls and texts even in situations when the phone/SIM isn't online for some reason, just like Google Voice?

It seems like the Google Voice app would be a natural fit for this functionality, but for whatever reason, Google seems to want to keep them as separate products.
Absence is a bit of a stretch. Look at that paper, it's interesting
Dropbox offered far more than just convenience. And at least it was something new.

This on the other side has very very slim novelity and convenience. And tools like this exists since at least a decade and never really took off. Maybe for a reason?
Except fuel prices going up was within the reasonable range of potential futures. Everyone suddenly forced to work from home wasn't.
Your stomach acid isn't that strong, only 1M HCl. Grape skins are made up of complex carbohydrates, which our bodies don't digest, bacteria in our large intestine break it down (somewhat). That concentration of acid will breakdown complex carbohydrates if exposed for a long time, but our stomachs empty in 1-4 hours.

I don't disagree that your body could extract some of it. The grape has a tear in the skin at the top, but compared to chewing? Very little is absorbed.
This seems like a decent tool to use in an oppressed, non-free country.

Except Tor (or Whonix or Tails), WireGuard, or ZeroTier are a better option.

All of these allow better management (and therefore control) of routes.

There is a very good reason Usenet does not require uploading, and P2P protocols like BitTorrent are used with a VPN. It provides a reasonable enough protection against a civil actor such as RIAA and MPAA while a determined actor (with more control over the used networks can dig up the data trail. Ie. police in case of serious crimes such as CP.

On a somewhat related note what was the name of the end of 90s pseudonymous network where you had to buy a 'nym' and could renew it for money?
Till you found somebody with 10+ years of "experience" who can sell himself well. We skip this question because of seniority. Hire him and turns out he struggles with basic for loop. This happened at my previous company.
It's not that easy and it's getting harder with each new car platform. But on the other end, some of the sensors are basic and will always be suspectable to false inputs. But don't worry, maybe it looks easy -> but it's not.

A parable about problem solving in software development (2013)
No need to be pedantic. No-one's arguing about the meaning of 'at your own risk', it's just that your decision to use this software affects more than just yourself.
Games bombing are almost never due to technical issues rather than people ones. For a game the size of Crucible it’d be my guess that the issues stem mostly from leadership and a team ending up thrashing trying to wrangle the game to fit changing visions and priorities. The end result of that is always going to be releasing something technically impressive but lacklustre.

Loov/hrtime: High resolution timing and benchmarking for Go
Great for you. But not everyone has the same circumstances. I was a short walk from my office, a beautiful route I run everyday anyway. But I live in an old flat that expensive to heat. Wfh saves me nothing at all and is going to be extortionate over Christmas (additional ~5-10% of my income in bills).
Why exactly would be concerning? You need to physically plug cables in the car you yourself own.

If anything, every access to hardware you own SHOULD be this easy.

Most people in the United Kingdom would be using Ordnance Survey.

Also, I think Ordnance Survey's record of the use of these footpaths has significant weight in keeping them legally protected.

So Ordnance Survey is the best tool here.
I'm honestly more surprised by how few followers the influencers need to be able to do it for a living, 180,000 followers seems rather low.

The "professional" influencers likely isn't the issue, I suspect. If you're doing social media for a living, you don't care about free cake, you want money. The problem is more likely to be the wanna be influencers, with a few followers, who just want free stuff and forget that they need to pay taxes on their free stuff, and correctly label it as an ad.
The Marvellous Analytical Engine- How It Works
This is also evident if you blend up oats to make a smoothie. It will hit you like a ton of bricks. Eating a bowl of oatmeal doesn't have the same effect.
There are famous experiments of people taking LSD and becoming much more religious.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_Chapel_Experiment

I don't remember the experiment, I think it was on Radiolab, where something like 10 non religious people took LSD and 9 ended up becoming priests from the influence of their experience.
Or it’s because we watched our sisters and daughters change from bright happy driven people to living in filth, on welfare, and becoming completely miserable in life.

Drugs change people. Personal experience, mostly negative.
I don't know how it was back then, but I used SoundHound recently to hum Bizet's March of the Toreadors and it worked on the first try.

SoundHound is definitely not a tech demo.

I really hope hot desking doesn't become a thing. I love having my own desk that's setup as I like it.
I really hope this happens.
>>> Its like, 5 lines of code. What happened?

I have no knowledge of the specific, but I think most people have experienced a freeze up in an interview - I certainly have. (I tried to reimplement basic math functions on a coding test - I still have no idea what happened)

That's why there is no silver bullet - fizzbuzz is an indicator. But we rely on expertise to spot itself - or spot potential. Which is why we need to be careful of just cloning ourselves and our cultural biases.

For example, you could put your Indian dev in front of me and I would not have the Oracle depth to recognise her as skilled enough to go to bat for. But Python internals? Yeah maybe. PostgreSQL once upon a time.

Its frankly still a hard problem.
This ThinkPad C13 Yoga Enterprise looks really nice
Also since these companies are already using the product and perhaps have even paid a licensing fee or royalty for it, it is unlikely they will want others to get it for free.

Or perhaps not. Perhaps some companies will see the value in getting more people to commit code to this product - which will likely happen if it goes open source.
We have raised money from YC and other institutional investors and will continue to do so in the future. Our reason to enable public participation now is to bake it into a core part of our model while learning all the benefits and pitfalls of such a model as early as possible.

In the long run our hope is to lower the cost of the tech enough so that anyone can participate in the ownership and distribution of broadband at a reasonable price. This is the first small step in that direction.
Commons Defence Select Committee Warns of 5G Dangers
I'm not taking sides... except that I think it would be funny if the guy won his case. But:

>The company was willing to pay £30,000...Mr Green refused and the company increased its offer to £60,000, which he also rejected.

>Mr Green said "the last two and a half years have felt like hell on earth ... You wouldn't treat an animal like I've been treated by Betfred," he said.

Hmmm... to compare being offered £60000 to being treated worse than an animal is slightly stretching the hyperbole a bit.
Did you take the offer?
One example of an outlandish information story is how the passport(s) of 911 hijackers was found on the ground in NY. I mean you can't make this stuff up.

It should mostly be the information on the HD that indicates the validity, not the fantastic way it was recovered.

That was average lifespan that includes child mortality. Once you survived puberty, chances were high you will live to your sixties, at least.

It's the same as if your dog attacks someone - even if it's "in their breed" it doesn't matter, you as the owner are responsible for its actions. If the dog is particularly aggressive it might be destroyed though.

Well, not exactly. Once you have plugged this device into your can, it can be hacked. It's just a phone after all, and it has normal wireless connection options available.
But look at how you get footpaths to be legally protected, and how you get them protected again after they're been forgotten, and how to protect new ones - using evidence from reputable archive sources like Ordnance Survey - that's how they argue these cases.

You're showing me the result - I'm telling you how that gets achieved in practice.

It isn’t either/or. One system can be overall superior another and that system can have different vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Cars are generally considered better than horses for transport, but cars also cannot use grass for fuel.
Cluttercore: The pandemic trend for celebrating stuff, mess and comfort
Speaking of cross thread contamination, I think the only person in Brave New World who budgets for anything is The Savage, when he pulls his peaceful Kaczynski at the end.

(then again, I'm pretty sure soma overdosing means saving for retirement is not a thing.)
This assumes that didn't know the person before they took it though. If you did then you'd likely hear their self-report even if they became a depressed recluse.
Except that the aspiring pro athlete is doing esports now. They are trying to get World of Warcraft or Fortnite pros.

The meaningful difference is the changed morality. The main goal seems to be shifting. Before it was: principled, ethical, decent, proper, just, honorable, honest, good. The goal would be to serve your team as a principled, ethical, decent, proper, just, honorable, honest, good leader always raising the bar, first for yourself and then others.

Now the main goals seem to be exploitation, spammy link building, dishonest marketing, the me-first principle.
Reddit now requires an account to read the comments
Only noticed today, but I only visit every couple days when a link shows up here or via friends so not sure when it kicked in exactly.

Logged out users can now only read the top level comments, and clicking the links to expand the comment chains prompts you to create an account or log in.

Another one of their recent changes that seems pointlessly user-hostile for the sake of metrics.
I suppose it would eliminate those that would walk out of an interview if asked to do fizzbuzz. I guess if someone genuinely objects to the "easy" question we can jump into some harder technical areas but I would definitely see it as a red flag.

Will they refuse to manually fix up the test data because it is "beneath" them? Will they think that getting the HTML to float right on that screen is for juniors only?

At some point meet the interviewer halfway.
Demonstrating Quantum Supremacy (2019)
Certainly nothing a bit of extra theology and geometry won’t fix.
If someone pretended to be a famous actor (etc) in public, I would say they probably weren't very happy with their own life. Somehow with influencers, this has actually become a "trend."

I think it ties in with Instagram travel posts, hiring grounded private jets for 10 minutes to take selfies in, etc. For Gen-Y/Z, it's like you have to pretend to be rich and famous, or else you're nothing.

And from the other end, their parents see them as daycare units while they go about their jobs. There's no on-ramp to society anymore, just fake it til you make it.

How is a young person who isn't in tech or finance supposed to be appreciated these days? I'll tell you how: they offer to advertise for local businesses to their friends ("followers"). There isn't even a major war for them to die in.
Life on Venus – Deep Dive
Pfizer eyes emergency use approval for vaccine in November
The tech is extremely new and other telecom companies and ISPs are testing it to plug holes in their network, this gives them only limited ROI on the tech because they've already got fiber networks and their entire organization is geared towards the deployment of fiber.

Also, it's worth noting that most ISPs/telcos are manpower and regulations based resource extraction organisations. Their moat is being able to handle local bureaucracy and pump in the heavy capital required to deploy the network. They like to buy and use proven tech that comes with SLAs and support from large tech vendors. They will wait for FSOC to be mature before they do anything meaningful.

We get the largest ROI from FSOC tech simply because we're building the network from scratch and are targeting the low cost market that is currently underserved. Most other ISPs are aiming for the premium market.
The article reads that OpenPilot uses facial recognition to detect a distracted driver.....Can that be fooled with an image, or perhaps a mannequin? I wonder if you could apply this autonomous car tech to vehicle-borne IEDs. The driver could dismount a few hundred meters short of the target and provide eyes-on ground-level surveillance (if for some reason you aren't using a UAV for the same) while the vehicle drives on a final attack vector.
I would suspect that an app that depends on (and is shipped with) a GPL engine gets contaminated with GPL.

If we were talking about LGPL this wouldn't be a question because of the linking exception, but with the GPL no company would want to risk being forced to release their source code. Anyone with a legal department would opt for the commercial licence
Men stopping pursuing women because it is so much easier to get a man in bed would be a problem. So much of todays social web is built on men spending a lot of time and resources on women, what happens when that stops?
World of Warcraft had Nagle's algorithm enabled for YEARS. That's one reason that VPN services were so popular and could cut 50-100ms off your ping time, especially if you were playing from Oceania.
The bigger ones definitely required decent periodic maintenance. Typically you'd contract DEC or a third party to come out semi-annually to vacuum things out, apply field fixes (yes, run wires on boards and the backplane), and run hardware diagnostics.

There were a lot of wire-wrap connections on those things. If they had been done right you were good. Done wrong, and your system was haunted until someone found the loose wire. We had an 11/45 with a flaky Unibus bay that could be "fixed" with a little percussive ablation. Finally got DEC to get serious about the problem, and they spent several days tracking down a bad socket.

I don't miss wire wrap. At all.

We have it good these days. Rack a bunch of servers, run them hard for years with only DIMM replacements or maybe the odd SSD, and recycle them once the bathtub failures start edging up. I don't want to think about the comparable compute power; my wristwatch runs rings around that 11/45. We live in the future.
"Cloaca" is a Dutch theatre play/film that has this idea of being able to spot real talent as one of the starting points of the story.

One of the main characters is an art historian and archivist at a municipality with this ability. Ignored by his superiors, they keep him happy by letting him pick out one painting from the depot in the basement every year for his birthday. Due to his ability he knows which paintings are truly good among all the kitsch.

Then one painter suddenly gets world-famous after his death, and eight of his "worthless" paintings he had are suddenly worth millions. Then his boss demands that he hands over the paintings again, accusing him of stealing from the municipality.

This is the start of the film. I highly recommend it, even it's not really about this but it's a really good character study.
'Stupid' is very subjective. Let’s take your example of the face masks. You (scientists including) call stupid whenever people aren’t wearing the masks. Others (also including scientists) might say that wearing a mask is stupid (because it’s weakening your immune system).

Another example. If you’d be living in the Middle Ages and there would be a growing group believing the earth wasn’t flat, you’d be called stupid. Now, it’s the other way around.

Either way, stupidity is very subjective when applied at an intellectual level.

At a more practical level, stupid would be a child that just heard their parents say not to touch the furnace but still touches it and burns itself. One could call it stupid, but it’s also a way of learning, exploring and getting experience.

So even at this level, 'stupid' is subjective

Fraction of money earmarked for Covid-19 recovery could boost climate efforts
Nice animation, but I bear in mind that stuff that is presented like this is really just hearsay - we don't really know that it was built as presented. It could well have been built as shown - its a plausible hypothesis. But it is also plausible that the bridges were only built in the 18th century. Or maybe they were built 100's of years earlier.

With any historical claims, we should have access to the source to be able to confirm.

On the wiki page that was posted we read:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bridge

"Throughout its history, Charles Bridge has suffered several disasters and witnessed many historic events. Czech legend has it that construction began on Charles Bridge at 5:31am on 9 July 1357 with the first stone being laid by Charles IV himself. This exact time was very important to the Holy Roman Emperor because he was a strong believer in numerology and felt that this specific time, which formed a palindrome (1357 9, 7 5:31), was a numerical bridge, and would imbue Charles Bridge with additional strength.[4]"

Where 4 is:

"Frucht, Richard (2005). Eastern Europe : an introduction to the people, lands, and culture. 1. Santa Barbara, CA: ABC-CLIO. pp. 251. ISBN 9781576078013."

https://archive.org/details/easterneuropeint0000unse/page/25...

When you search that book on archive.org though, there are no references to "1357", "5:31", "numerology". There is a single reference to "numerical" but this relates to 1944.

So we have a paragraph in wiki, that has some very specific information, that it claims is from a book that doesn't seem to contain that info.

This is to say that 'we' don't know anything about this bridge - the sources do not check out.

I was hoping to get a little further than this. I wanted to track the primary or secondary source for this claim about the bridge build date. But I couldn't even get that far.

What should one conclude, when the detailed information being provided does not check (or should that 'Czech') out?
