Right, but this is what makes the situation so dangerous in the U.S. If no one’s mind is changed over events like these, then we’re at a point where there are essentially two citizenries which both see the other side as toxic. We’re slouching towards civil war. Most people don’t want war, but do see the other side as harmful, so we have to try hard to avoid it.

Maybe we’re all looking at it wrong, maybe a civil war increases shareholder value for Facebook? Because the way they went about this is another escalation. Nothing drives engagement like military engagements, right?
White progressives have become more liberal on race issues recently as well: https://www.vox.com/2019/3/22/18259865/great-awokening-white...

> In the past five years, white liberals have moved so far to the left on questions of race and racism that they are now, on these issues, to the left of even the typical black voter.

Trump has plumbed the bottom of the non-white vote. The protests rankled many Latinos. In recent YouGov polling, a narrow majority of Latinos rated “the breakdown of law and order” as a “bigger problem” then “systemic racism.”

Meanwhile, Millenial Black voters are twice as likely to have favorable or somewhat favorable views of Trump than older Black voters: https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/ucla-study...

> The data collected from April 2-May 13 by the Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape project, an initiative that conducted weekly surveys of thousands of potential voters for nearly a year, found that 29% of percent of black voters ages 30-44 and 21% ages 18-29 have a "very favorable" or "somewhat favorable" view of President Trump. This compares to just 14% of black voters 45-64 and 9% of those 65 and older.

It’s not going to be Mitt Romney’s Republican Party. But Democrats shouldn’t be popping champagne corks assuming that the opposing party will never be in power again.

JavaScript support isn't a requirement for being a web browser. Never has been. Still isn't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Links_(web_browser)

Ftp support, beloved as I think it is, was also never a requirement for being called a web browser. Nor gopher, even though some web browsers also supported them.

I believe the only requirements for being called a web browser are: 1) support for HTTP (in at least one of its various forms), 2) being able to render HTML (in at least one of its various forms, including XHTML) as something more presentable than raw text, and 3) an interface component letting the user follow at least some hyperlinks.

However, I think bastawhiz's argument is a bit dubious. Many people use "internet browser" as a synonym for "web browser", and indeed a DDG search for that phrase just now shows advertisements for Chrome and Opera. I also see that Sony offers an "Internet Browser" for their TVs which is a version of Opera. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00014209

So had things been just a bit different, we could have been calling these things "internet browsers" instead of "web browsers". (Rather like when places offer "Internet access" only to find all non-http(s) ports are blocked.)
Why would you mock your own code, when you have your own real code right there?
In late 1981 I built a computer around the Z80, TMS9918A (actually 9928A as I wanted PAL-M output) and the TMS5220 voice synthesis chips. I called it "Einstein" and only found out decades later that there was a computer from Tatung with the same name, processor and video chip that sold in the UK in 1984. Great minds think alike, it seems...

I was not able to get a datasheet for the 9918 and had to abandon the project. In early 1983 I did get a nice book from Texas Instruments by asking them to send it to an address in the US, but I only skimmed it. That was a huge mistake. A few months later I started a new computer project for the Logo programming language and remembered that Logo in the TI99/4 kept "running out of ink". There were only 256 different characters which could be redefined but the screen was 32x24 = 768 characters in size. So 2/3 of the screen had to be blank as the turtle moved around it. So I went with the Motorola 6883/6847 combo instead (the same as the TRS-80 Color Computer).

It so happens that the TMS9918A used in the TI99/4A has a new mode that the TMS9918 didn't: you can divide the screen in 3 with a different character set for each part. That would have given me Logo with infinite ink.

This is pretty obvious; the while purpose of ssh-agent is to do this. Once you have access to the user account of whoever is running any software that does any kind of crypto (or in some cases root, depending on kernel hardening settings re: debugging/ptrace), you can always get the keys.

Those concerned about this attack vector should use hardware tokens, like a YubiKey. They aren't infallible, as they could be stolen while unlocked with some USB trickery to keep them active, but it beats being able to trivially dump the key material.
Have you considered at least logging to the terminal on container start whenever a port gets exposed to the internet because of a 3306:3306 (i.e. without an explicit ip to bind to)?

10+ years ago I wrote one of the first browser addons in this space. It was powered by a backend that crawled data for hundreds of merchants, and Amazon was easily one of the most difficult merchants to parse (and I ended up writing a lot of the parsing code). We had entire sections of our codebase dedicated to piercing Amazon's "add to cart to see the price" tactics and other countermeasures they would throw our way. This was all just before AJAX took over the web; I was laid off before I could see how that change affected the company. (I don't think they are around any more)

Anyway, Amazon is a tough nut to crack. We were technically hostile actors, but at the time I don't think they allowed anyone to crawl them. So, props

I don't have a problem with them increasing price. We don't know the cost of the changes in this version and even more so users are not entitled that Apple keep the same profit margin even if the cost is the same.

The deception though is claiming that new new phone has all these new goodies with the same price. This is effectively all these new goodies with $50 increase in price ($30 career, $20 charger).
>2-10 times the total energy the battery will store - presumably they mean over its lifetime

Their number is the reciprocal of this.

i.e. the total energy stored/discharged by the battery over it's lifetime = 2-10x the energy required to manufacture the battery.

Which still seems a bit conservative. The corresponding number they quote for their storage system is 240.

I think since you've asked this question, it's been answered that this specific tool was written using SculptGL.

How do you even start? I started with `three.js` about two years ago and a ton of documentation. I didn't write a sculpting tool, but I wrote a PoC for a tool that "renders" custom tessellated data, pan/tilt/zoom, by the documentation from their site in about a weeks' time[0].

[0] I do more back-end than front-end, but I did the PoC in React/TypeScript with a kludge for the Canvas and a few ugly functions for handling loading/camera positions.
For things like garage door openers that only run for a moment and only once in a while, the payoff would likely never come. But for things like dryers where it's a simple continuous motion for hours on end, I could see it easily justifying an air motor conversion.

Bonus: Compressed air is inherently dry. It'll come out of the motor cooler than ambient, but pass it through a heat exchanger and you'll get almost-room-temp super-dry air. (And maybe use the exchanger to condense some of the moisture out of the dryer's exhaust; you're halfway to a ventless condensing dryer already!)

I wonder if refrigeration appliances would be designed differently if they assumed compressed air as the power source.
Good for you but I can’t fall asleep with earbuds in my ears.

Most Amish sects do not prohibit electricity. It is not uncommon for them to have electrical devices powered by solar panels. I don't think most have anything against internal combustion engines. As your own link notes, they might use such engines to power air compressors.

What concerns the Amish is being too dependent on the outside world. Tying to the regional electrical grid would make them too dependent.

They aren't isolationists, though. They will still buy from and sell to outsiders. Using things like gasoline or diesel generators to power air compressors is OK because it isn't seen as requiring becoming too closely tied. Probably because if their gasoline supplier becomes unreliable, they can buy from someone else.

In general, the Amish avoidance of technology is greatly overstated. They don't so much avoid it as take a very cautious approach, making sure they know how it will impact their society before they let it in.

They have a few people try it out, while the rest observe how it goes, and they watch how the outside world handles it. Only when they understand what changes it will bring, good and bad, do they decide if they are going to adopt it or skip it.

They are kind of like where the rest of us were 20-50 years ago (it varies depending on the particular technology) except they are avoiding the mistakes we were making back then when we were rushing to embrace the latest stuff.

In a few decades, there will probably be Amish equivalents of Facebook and Twitter but without being full of trolling and misinformation, because the Amish will wait for us to figure out how to control that before they make their versions.

Here's a good article on Amish and technology [1].

No one who voted for Trump in 2016 would vote for Biden. A decent chunk of people who voted for Clinton would vote for Trump.

2020 events showed the true colors of political ideology and think it's safe to say the left lost just about all of their center-left leaning base. (see Portland, Cuomo, un-constitutional shutdowns, hyper-sensitive political correctness, etc as examples)
Off the cuff I'd think that they accept it because they view almost anything that causes people to buy from Amazon to be a good thing.

They think that most people aren't seeking, or missing, such a feature. That suspicious/especially frugal people who want to see a price history would actively seek such service, and find it anyway.

If Biden becomes president, his 2018 quid-pro-quo admission to fire a Ukranian prosecutor is all the assurance social media companies need that Biden would likely ignore calls for reform to section 230. At worst, its a bold gamble social media companies appear to be taking in the face of the Trump administrations almost certain intent to reform.
Dejanews used to have posts at least back to early 90s, I found some posts I made to rec.games.corewar in 1991 on Dejanews at one point (Edit: Found it https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.corewar/c/6rUdOS9EDIM/...). I'm kind fo sad Google essentially let Dejanews (Google Groups) whither. Yes, you can create groups on it, but it's second mission to gather the world's information and make it accessible was kind of abandoned, otherwise they would have continued to pursue the old archives.

Ditto for old BITNET/LISTSERVs needing to be archived. A lot of my childhood is wrapped in up BBSes, BITNET/LISTSERVs/Majordomo lists, and USENET, and being able to see some of it on textfiles.com and Deja was a nostalgic joy ride down memory lane.
so zero censorship has been tried over and over and failed miserably. Unless you like CP.
"However as internet censorship becomes an ever more prevalent issue, individuals and businesses are discovering that they cannot rely on central services to host their content. Legislation has failed to provide rights for creators and cannot be relied upon as an ultimate solution.

A protocol that guarantees censorship-resistance and anonymity is necessary for truly reliable distribution software."

There have been attempts at creating something like this, and just a couple of projects that look similar, but never has something like this actually been built. And if Elros are the first people to do it, I feel like they're opening up a juggernaut of a Pandora's Box. Think about it...
When a politician is ambushed with a question like "when did you stop beating your wife" the politician can't respond to the allegations because that ads to the story ("politician denies beating his wife").

UX overall is under-appreciated. It's very hard to measure "soft" attributes (effects of aesthetics, chaos/consistency, ambient stressors, physical exertion, etc. on mood) of humans, hence harder to gain consensus. It's unfortunate it has such a tremendous impact on humanity, yet we have such bad instruments to measure it.
I think it’s actually becoming quite common for these... Luddite (for lack of a better word) groups to use electronics in business settings only. They’ve mostly accepted that if you want to run a successful business with customers outside the group, you simply have to use electronics.

Because software totally doesn't require prototyping, experimentation and measuring of intermediate progress. /s

Dealing with data teams that just won't learn reasonable software engineering practices but still want to run software in production is incredibly painful. Eventually you just have to sit down with them and lay down the ground rules on what is and isn't acceptable.

Once they get over the initial stage of complaining they eventually convert and can't understand why they ever did it wrong in the first place... just like junior software engineers.

The snowflake part where they feel they are somehow different and entitled to use poor processes and force poor tools and ecosystems on everyone else though really does irk me.

I think it is due to motion processing attempting to remove the blurring of moving objects. It processes a window of frames and tries to produce an image that has the object without the motion blur that would have been present. This can result in artifacts which some people find objectionable and might be the cause of the artifacts you have observed.

Immigration has a direct impact on the labor market. Unlimited migration would likely outpace any sort of economic growth and massively depress wages. I would not look forward to competing with an order of magnitude more candidates for jobs with mediocre pay.

This is precisely what I do. Pretty much anything that sends my mind off into a cool direction works well. Some narrators are better than others (Stefan Rudnicki has a great voice, and William Dufris does a wonderful job of voicing characters).

I searched high and low for headphones that I can sleep in. I can't sleep on my back, so big cans are right out. I hate earbuds and things that poke into my ear canal, and headband-like arrangements slide around, are hot and compress my ears painfully. I finally found a set of small, disk-like phones that fit flat and in the center of my ear, just outside the ear canal; with a little extra padding these are very, very comfortable.

[The product I liked are Bedphones, from dubslabs.com; they are expensive, but I found them totally worth it. I use the wired version, and they tend to tangle badly unless you take a little care wrapping them up, but I hate having yet another device to charge]

Netflix ends free trials in the US after years of giving away first month
It seems that the flywheel is a monolithic system, and the proposed next gen ultracapacitor is a modular system.

You probably only have one giant flywheel, as the mass is where the energy storage gains make it worthwhile. Maybe you have many of them in parallel, but the size would make scaling an issue. Not to mention that there’s an associated drivetrain and linkages and so on. It’s a fully integrated contraption. It works, but many parts must work in tandem for it to be so.

This is in contrast to an electronic system, which would benefit from miniaturization and isolated redundancy. Racks of capacitors could run as hot spares when energy is abundant next to racks that may be down for maintenance. I doubt that a flywheel can be meaningfully inspected, let alone repaired or upgraded while operating.

That is the benefit of a modular approach to certain problems and not others. The two approaches are not always mutually exclusive either. Capacitors could be used as regenerative brakes for flywheels, for instance.
