More sociable and outgoing people talk more with people.

Because of that, if halve the users become more outgoing and halve the users less so, for a net improvement of zero, what you’ll hear still can usually be in what they self-report as a good way.

As an extreme thought experiment, if 99% of users become depressed reclusive hermits directly after use and the others feel hugely improved, all self-reports you hear will be positive.
OBS is the only app I have been able to get working so far.

Dig to bedrock or drive in pilings to shore up your foundation if you can, it all depends on the local geography. Given the lateral forces on a bridge it seems unlikely that modern builders would float the footings of the arches in the riverbed, but in the case of this bridge I think that was what happened (a guess given the fact that three arches failed during a flood in 1890s when a pile-up of logs and debris forced a lot of water flow to push deeper to pass the bridge.)
We had it like that in school in literature. I don't even find it ironic. It was good book, had cultural impact, so it even made sense.

1984 is not an anarchist dream that would teach that every single mandatory thing is bad. It is about dystopian totalitarian state, but that does not imply there is something ironic about mandatory school reading.

An agreement for commercial growers is one thing. That's because the growers who sign it:
a) have time to review it and consider the implications
b) benefit substantially from the exclusivity because it acts as a price support. Many growers are perfectly happy to sign these agreements because it protects their investment.

An "end-eater" agreement that purports to bind the purchaser of a food product is ridiculous.
Fully Charging Your BMW PHEV’s Battery Could Spark a Fire
It's mandated by regulation in all cars after..2002? It's a port most often situated close to the steering wheel, the interface is a bog standard CAN bus. Where it differs between cars is what command sets are used and allowed (eg sometimes proprietary ones are used, and controlling things may not be possible).

It's common to extract diagnostics about the car from this port. For example, when buying a used car this is highly recommended. Buy a cheap adapter that you plug in, connect to it over BT from a phone, and read out error codes. Perhaps the owner has temporarily put out an error to mask it during your inspection?
"comparing BBC journalists to people selling personal lifestyle as a product is insulting."

In Sweden, influencer deals have been deemed as exchange of services by the tax authorities. In the example above the influencer has taken payment for rendered services in the form of goods. If there isn’t a corporate entity formed, that’s getting taxed as income.

The difference, argued by Bostrom and missed by the article, is the $smallpercent approaching and eventually reaching 0%, while the $bigpercent reaches 100% and then 0% - as the automated economy becomes a self-sustaining system with no need for any humans inside of it. Forever mining and building and trading, but with no one there to enjoy the fruits of robots' labor. A Disneyland with no children.
I am so sad that you are so cynical. I guess that reflects today's workforce, and, most likely, management.

It was never the company. It was me. The company was a corporation, and they were way too stuffy to do that whole "family" thing.

I kept senior-level C++ engineers for decades (I am not exaggerating). It was a small, high-functioning team that wrote image processing pipeleines for a very well-known company.

I am aware that today's entire management style is based on engineers staying at a company for an average of eighteen months. That's crazy. I worked for a Japanese company, and the Japanese would barely even acknowledge my staff, until they had been there at least a year. It was really important for me to keep engineers for as long as possible.

NEVER underestimate the impact of decent first-level managers. It is often said that armies run on their sergeants. First-level managers are the sergeants of the workforce. I was never interested in becoming a commissioned officer. I liked staying close to the ground. I'm entirely capable of doing extremely good strategy; I just didn't like it. I had to be dragged kicking and screaming into management, and being a sergeant was as high as I could tolerate.

I'm a really good manager, but I also never liked it. That's why I have returned to my engineering roots.

There has to be a balance though. I'm desperately missing the office and have experience moderate depression for the first time in my life working from home. Atm everything I read is 'WFH is the new normal' or 'we'll never have an office again'. If the balance goes too far to home working then folk like me will need to start clamouring for offices. There needs to be a balance and acknowledgment of each others preferences else this will become a crazy unhealthy culture war.
This drew me in but didn’t answer questions it’s raising. Why is the engine so hard to work with? What about it makes it so specific to Crysis and why are they insufferable?

Afaik you buy this thing as a dashcam and then flash the self driving software on your own at your own risk.

To be clear, I don't have a car or a driver's licence, I was just surprised that this standardization was a thing at all. Seems like a stark contrast to all the walled gardens in every other technology-related industry these days.
CryEngine was just that - an engine for Crysis games. Early Unreal engines also had the same issue of being an engine for FPS games and nothing more. Later on they transitioned to a more generic engine design and things like Unity3D caught on and no one really cared about CryEngine anymore (except for Star Citizen, but that's another story).
You should add (2018) to the title. I knew I had read about it before.
> MDMA can be neurotoxic if taken repeatedly and heavily

I remember back in the days on a certain research chemicals subreddit where people were raving about the "borax combo" -- a mix of 4 or 5 substances that were indistinguishable from MDMA and had no crash like MDMA and the ingredients themselves were not known to be neurotoxic.

I think they just looked at the MDMA receptor affinity and just combined substances that would roughly match that receptor affinity.

Also as far as I know, MDMA is only neurotoxic because of it being processed by the liver and MDMA injected in pig or rat brain was not supposed to be neurotoxic.
As _Microft says, the gif is making rounds on the Internet (I've seen it last night on Mastodon).

And to be honest, I'm not surprised that it beats the video - it communicates the exact same information, and the same sense of awe as the original video, but in a much more time-efficient manner. Watching the original now, I can't shake the feeling of how boringly slow it is.

No, simply becasue they are publicly talking about it. Not much of a cover up, it seems. Especially since the government is headed by Johnson, who I would suspect to be first one to publish such things.

"Doesn't this suggest that if you want to eat a lot of food but don't want to absorb too much of it (i.e., are concerned about weight gain), you should chew less?"

Erm, did you never noticed how some food like corn comes out on the toilet pretty much unchanged(and therefore not digested) if you ate in a hurry before?

So obviously yes, even without complex chemical analysis your theory seems to be right.

I'm not sure I understand your comment. This is an Electron alternative. Is it common for companies to release modified versions of Electron? I admit I don't work in this space, but I thought the point of Electron is to make it possible to distribute a web app as a "native" app. Why would a company dig into the source code and develop a modified version of Electron rather than simply use it as a tool to distribute their app?

As I said, ATMs and doing shopping at WalMart are completely different things.

When you are shopping your card is used through Visa/Mastercard network.

When you are at ATM your card is used in a completely separate way, basically functioning as an identifier. The same way you can use phone number to log in to your google account even though it was not originally meant for it.

Also you mix debit/credit thing with other stuff. Debit and credit cards authorize the same way. The difference is how the transactions are processed at your bank, but this has nothing to do with whether the transaction is pin or signature.

That's an interesting take! You're probably right.
I'd expect the same in any tax regime. If someone gives you something, that's income. Exemptions are usually small.

Thanks for your reply.

1. The cost for a setup and maintenance is $2M for an entire Tier 1 city in India - that's peanuts compared to the revenue you will generate if the general public starts using the network and pays for it. You can self fund this to a large scale.

2. Wifi Dabba as an entity controls this infrastructure and that entity also controls the software that powers the infrastructure. The PoP is not an independent entity working in a decentralized matter. If the Indian govt says Wifi Dabba as an entity has to shut down - it can easily do so without any problems and the network goes down with it. So its hard to agree that this solution is truly decentralized.

3. There was some weird calculation error on $13.2M figure. I fixed it - sorry about that.

4. That I understand, but my question isn't about the legitimacy of the fundraise.

Apart from point #2 - my original question is not addressed.

Have you explored and ruled out traditional forms of financial instruments? If yes - why?
If not - why not do that first for 1 or 2 cities and then the model can be flipped into public retail investment/franchise model at a later point once you prove a successful rollout on a city scale.
Makes me wonder if they've been done in parallel or serially.

Also, I'd love to know how the bridge was designed. How did they figure out the shapes of the supporting structure, or location of the piers? Etc. We have this knowledge systematized today, but we use mathematics in a form that was developed much later than those bridges.
If your library is already merging buffers and preventing small writes then you would still want to set TCP_NODELAY, to eliminate delays due to send/send/recv patterns where merged buffers are less than the MSS... because you know for sure that you're already doing all you can, and Nagle's algorithm can't help further except introduce delay.

Hello, Ian

"Every user is exit node" concept in addition to legal question raises more practical questions. What are you going to do if majority for your users (and when you call something "free" the chance increases) will be from countries like China, Russia, Iran and other where government controls and blocks a lot of the websites and services? And I'm talking not about surveillance but about actual block of the IP subnets like Russia did to AWS, DO and GC when they tried to block Telegram.

Also on the website you declare

> No bandwidth caps. No throttling. Stream all day, and download away. Unlike other VPNs, FreePN will never bottleneck your connection.

Sorry but this is simple lie. If we will take Turkmenistan (their internet censorship is better than China's one if you wonder why I take this unknown country) max bandwidth you can get as average citizen is about 2mbps. And there will be users (exit nodes) from TM for sure so for external users there will be bottleneck.
I've just asked him for you. To paraphrase - most people take them up on it (nothing to lose). Some people never place an order, lots of codes are never used. Some have been used many, many times - but often they'll then go on to find them on the voucher code sites (at which point they'll usually just bin the code).

It honestly scares me to hear my nieces and nephews, all around the 10 year old mark, talking about aspiring for internet fame more (and in some cases exclusively) than any other actual profession or healthy aspiration.

And the education and affluency of the family has no bearing on this, which scares me even more. That this need for wide audience social acceptance is so ingrained in humans that no matter the nurturing environment that the kids grow up in, they will still heavily latch onto this as anything worth aspiring for.

Obviously they will not all (or even any) attempt to go this route when they grow up, yet I can't help wonder if this is closing off some part of their minds to all the other paths in life which wont get them direct public audience appreciation.
> Additionally, I think China would never relent; doing so would be an admission of guilt, which is poisonous for their regime.

They could spin it in the same manner as Putin - "those degenerate Western bastards are against us, we need to be strong and united to face them etc.".
> Of course it does, where do you think IrisGL and Renderman were used for?

Not only are you confusing native UI stack for OS/HW capabilities, you are also seemingly confusing CPU/GPU workloads.

Nothing at all stops Renderman from running on Plan9, other than Renderman not having native Plan9 support.

Renderman does CPU ray-tracing, as ray-tracing still cannot be done in GPU (and no, RTX has no value in production quality rendering). The only GPU feature of Renderman is a post denoising filter, which will otherwise happily fall back to CPU.

> An OS architecture that doesn't do DMA for maximum hardware performance just isn't up to the game.

DMA has no effect on Renderman.

At this point, based on this history of this thread, I'll have to conclude that you have no idea what you're talking about at all.

>Section 230 was supposed to make social networks public squares

Wrong. There is nothing in the statute that implies neutrality.

Section 230 was to enable online platforms to engage in good-faith community moderation without fear of taking on undue liability for their users’ posts. Online platforms are within their First Amendment rights to moderate their online platforms however they like, and they’re additionally shielded by Section 230 for many types of liability for their users’ speech. It’s not one or the other. It’s both.

X-ray inspection is indeed done for critical parts. I found reference to cosmetic interior 3D printed parts being used in production to test the waters.

I don't work in anything related to human safety, and I think very few parts on an airframe would be suited to 3D printing (surely something though). If you're coming from that background it makes sense to be very skeptical. But as another commenter mentioned, some aircraft engine parts are already 3D printed.
