I would think there is always value in patent-application because even if it could be easily challenged in court it allows you to claim you have patent or patent pending which will help your marketing.
Oh, I’m not OP but I forgot to add that the standard remediations are pretty simple: airflow.

Open a door and open a window. Pretty much nothing else does it, though an air exchanger in a home ventilation system can help.

This of course can get complicated by light (the door), sound (door and window), pollution (window) and heat/cold (window). So your local setup may vary.

In my own case the big challenge is winter. But usually just a small crack is enough to lower co2 a fair bit during the cold season.
These types of exploits are exactly why I just prefer to use the browser version of everything. The browser is superior (both mobile and desktop). It’s safer, typically faster and less resource intensive, and it has reliable and consistent controls. For example, “going back” means something different to every app, but in safari it’s always just a click away.

And most importantly in the browser I can have full ad blocking/tracking protections enabled.
Yeah, by plain math, making the working class richer will make your poverty rankings worse.
Just wanted to call out a company already active in this space called reconstruct:

https://www.reconstructinc.com/

Their software is pretty cool, came out of a research group I was working in. Originally, we were using drones to scan the site every day and building a point cloud. I know much of the research team went to the company (I was only working on the scanning system).

Pretty sweet stuff and honestly one of the best uses for a drone I’ve seen.

> you can observe what happens as you approach it

Yes, but you cannot extrapolate from this to say that the time lapse for a photon would be zero. A photon is not the limit of objects with mass going closer and closer to the speed of light, because "closer and closer to the speed of light" is frame-dependent, but a photon's speed being c is not. I can find an inertial frame in which each of your objects is at rest, and in that frame, you are the one who is "close to c" (in the opposite direction). But that doesn't mean your elapsed time approaches zero. By contrast, it is impossible to find any frame in which a photon is at rest. The two types of objects are fundamentally different.

In more technical language, the action of Lorentz transformations on photons is fundamentally different from their action on timelike objects. So it is simply not valid to view photons as some sort of limit "as speed approaches c" of timelike objects.

> Marginal is well over 50% in NYC, CA. eg top bracket marginal is 37% federal + 12.3% CA state

The top tax rate is actually 13.3% state, but even the 12.3% kicks in at over $590k for a single taxpayer, well above the 99th percentile individual income for the state, which means it's very much not normal for people to pay that much.

Re: Maybe $6k all in to FILE. But additional fees are needed when the patent issues, and to later maintain the patent. Also, often to negotiate with the patent office during the examination process.

Re: Provisional-- But be careful. For example, a Design patent application cannot claim priority to a provisional patent application. So the article's advice regarding filing a provisional patent application would not apply to design patent applications.

Huh, I hadn’t realized but apparently some of the causes can be trouble.

Mine was pretty clearly linked to an injury that eventually caused other tinnitus so I assumed the causes were similar. Note that per the link below pulsatile tinnitus can be quite benign, but is does have some causes worth excluding.

> "we should hope more liberal voters move to Florida and similar states"

Why? Seems like a good way to get the worst of both sides with constant gridlock. I prefer states to have a clear political stance so citizens can clearly choose the rules they live under.

Liberal voters staying in liberal states might learn more about how their policies work instead of escaping the consequences they voted in once those policies ruin the city, like they did to SF.
So I've been tracking this fairly closely via the Banking for All Act and I think a lot of the issues around this are not what they seem to be although I think they signal a very profound shift in the world of monetary politics.

For one this has NOTHING to do with crypto currency. This also has NOTHING to do with any kind of technological advancement at all. There is really nothing particularly more digital about the digital currencies being proposed than any other electronic bank balance or credit card database line item. I think the word digital here is an attempt to sneak in some radical changes to how the federal reserve works under the guise of doing something to modernize banking in the world of cryptocurrency.

So then what is this about? What these digital currencies are about is the ability for normal people to hold deposit accounts that are held directly in the Central Bank although a normal commercial bank would still act as the custodian and you would still access them through your normal bank.

So why go through all of the trouble to do this? I think it's basically an admission that Quantative Easing era is over and that monetary policy in general has run its course and are no longer useful in the age of 0% interest rates while we still face deflation. By having normal people hold central bank accounts, they will be able to implement a new kind of policy that they have wanted the power to do for decades: hybrid fiscal / monetary policy where the monetary policy outcome is deposited directly into the account of a normal person, not a bank.

This is basically the Fed acknowledging that they are getting ready for MMT.

Edit: I'm getting downvoted on this, maybe because this seems conspiratorial but I don't think I'm really saying anything that speculative here. Look at the title of the article linked to in the attached tweet from the IMF: "A New Bretton Woods Moment". The people involved clearly see this as a time when they need to completely rework the international monetary system (which is what Bretton Woods was in the 40's)

Eh, that view doesn't make sense since every particle has it's own light cone, hence it's own time cone.

> What if my distance to one point on the shell was zero?

Then you are not inside the shell, you are on it. The shell theorem only applies if you are inside the shell.

> Would I not feel infinite acceleration towards the massive point on the shell that I was infinitely close to?

In General Relativity, matter is not viewed as point particles. It is viewed as a continuum, described by the stress-energy tensor. This is one of those cases where the difference shows up.
Correct. This may cause some copycats to move on and pick a softer target. But foreign copycats (e.g., Chinese companies) would likely not care.
Great video.

Reminded me of the arguments still going on about ‘whether this is true or not’ in the sense that the mathematics is painting this more accurate picture than what Newton’s math painted, but the math can’t explain most of the universe’s lack of observable mass/energy, so there might be some higher level of mathematics that describes a different but ‘more true’ state of events.

but the calculation of time dilation due to a gravitational force results in a DIFFERENT amount than time dilation due to accelerating in a spaceship at one G. So the equivalence principle would fail- I can tell if I am accelerating due to gravity or if I am accelerating due to motion by measuring time dilation. Without doing the math you can know this is true by looking at the age of a person on the ground on earth and the age of a person in a spaceship accelerating at 1 G. The spaceman will experience greater time dilation (age slower) as his speed approaches that of light. In a spaceship people will age slower. But both people will only feel 1 G.

I don't think it's better for the consumer. It's great for the producer since they can keep selling you the things you "own" on standard MRR and have a forever-growing catalog. That's why MS is gobbling up studios.

Interesting to think that Vietnam might have a mix of all those cultures. I guess the same can be said about Macao or Hong Kong - you had traditional east asian cultures mixed very recently with western culture.

I wonder if there are any examples of the reverse?
Correct. It can often be worth it for the marketing aspects. Or to be thought of as an innovator or thought leader. Or to provide leverage when trying to get funding.

I see this article more as a resource for curious people who want to improve their interpersonal skills and provide more helpful feedback. (I especially feel this way based on the author's blog, and their activity on Twitter! They create a lot of kind, supportive, educational material.) I _don't_ see this as a prescriptive piece trying to impose constraints on other people's behavior. If the specific advice doesn't resonate with you, then that's okay!
And that seems pretty simple to fix. "The same level of awareness that created a problem cannot be used to fix the problem" - and maybe that's why they hired you, to fix these problems. I've been that guy before. What was really fun was the codebase I had to fix that used mexican slang words as variable names, and I only speak English. So much fun. But I sucked it up, accepted the challenge, and I improved it.

It really doesn't take a super-genius to code javascript simply, efficiently, and without errors. Funny that a lot of programmers that think they're very smart are the ones that either shit on javascript, or make a lot of stupid errors with it, or both.
In the aggregate this may be true but the public markets don’t need any given investors. There are hundreds of thriving startups that simply would not exist today if ten people who did invest had chosen not to invest. No public company is that dependent on investors especially if they don’t need to make another offering.

Yeah I noticed recently that I actually prefer browser apps from a UX point of view - creating tabs of content and jumping between them is something I do a lot, and it's baked in very nicely to the browser. (As is sending a link to share the exact screen i'm on, back button as u mention etc etc)

It’s nice to have that capability, but some databases are just too big to have multiple copies lying around, or to able to create a sandbox for everyone.
There is a key difference in nature, with some practical consequences.

You don't have money in your bank account, the bank has a debt toward you. When you wire money or pay with a credit card, it triggers a chain of intermediaries to move that debt. It is costly in part because of the counterparty risks. In most countries, an individual however is protected from a bank default up to a certain amount.

Cash is directly minted by the central bank. In a trustless manner, if you exchange goods and services for cash, the settlement is instantaneous. Legally, this cash can be used anywhere in your country.

For everyday use, it might not change habits overnight, but it will have a long term impact on the financial infrastructure.
The systems being proposed here have absolutely nothing to do with crypto currencies, blockchain, bitcoin, or anything tokenized. They are simply reshuffling of rules about how central bank reserve accounts work.

In theory, such a mandate can be adequately resourced and the institution providing the funding clearly has such funds.

Are your objections to Rubocop's dictates in tests only (or primarily) about the complexity rules?

I hear your security concerns.

In case of Discord, there are three key causes for preferring the desktop version - and I don't see any easy workaround to them without adding explicit support to web standards:

1) custom audio codecs & filters; Discord is primarily a gaming VC app and the codecs available on the desktop version are superior for purpose of cancelling echo, noise etc. at low latency,

2) ability to capture any keyboard & mouse shortcuts for VC activation

3) ability to use voice & keyboard shortcut while the browser window is not focused (in particular while in game)

Incidentally adding general support for those to general browsers would lead to subtle security bugs & gotchas.
I’m familiar with the Hawthorne effect but I don’t understand what you mean here. Could you clarify?

Do you mean to say that collaborative document editing is perceived to be more efficient but that it is in fact not more efficient?

Assuming that is what you meant, that may be true, but for me when working on a document with others there is more to it aside from saving time on writing together. Specifically, being able to see the document as a whole means that I can write sections of text that are more coherent with the rest of the document, and also that I can suggest changes in other people’s sections while we are working on it.

Collaborative editing is also useful when discussing a document on teleconferencing or when we are in the same room. For example if we are talking about a budget and we all have the Google sheet open I can point to a cell or group of cells, say something about it and make a change immediately in accordance with what we conclude, and they can make concurrent edits elsewhere in the sheet for other parts of the sheet that are affected by our discussion.
More than this, by what standard is something blockable and who determines this.

Maybe it just doesn't stop at allegedly hurtful words, Maybe two folks are discussing something political and someone else is offended by these hurtful ideas. I mean, Amazon just banned some books having an alternative Covid 19 narrative, so our isn't out of the realm of possibility..

Just my thougts as well. I guess we are simply another category. There is a variety out there, it’s a good thing.
Aside form timesinks, communities are a necessary part of the human development, I am hopeful to see a changing trend where people move the part of the community in the real world and use the technology part to solve the logistics
I think treating gravity as an acceleration is too abstract for many high-school students. For all the on-the-Earth problems, you'd have to analyze them in an accelerating reference frame. That means Newton's laws and the equations of motion don't apply. You'd have to use special linear acceleration equations. An inertial reference frame is simpler and more general. Gravity fits that OK if you consider it to be a force distributed in proportion to mass.
The technology side is secondary. However, if it wasn't for cryptocurrencies, we wouldn't be discussing this topic today. Bitcoin has proven that it was possible to build an open financial infrastructure, and has inspired many similar projects.

The hybrid fiscal/monetary policy is an interesting perspective, especially in those times. My understanding of ongoing debates is that there is no clear strategy yet.

> Good for humanity? We are talking about video games. It is just entertainment we are talking about. Get a grip!

I picture you decrying the same thing about the telephone, in 1949 when the us government sued at&t & forced them to sell off Western Electric, the maker of telephones. And again in 1959 when Carterphone was created & AT&T sued, forbidding anyone else from connecting their own devices. It's just a telephone! What harm is there in consumers being forced to use only no-fuss officially endorsed solutions. You can say whatever you want, do whatever you want, as long as you say it & do it with an AT&T product.

There are limits to innovation & diversity, & when left to rot, when too protected, systems ossify & stagnate. Beyond the scary platform wars afoot, I think Linux has absolutely cutting edge drivers in some places that can do things absolutely no other tech out there can. DMA-BUF & PipeWire are in early early days but already showing incredibly promising zero-copy streaming that few if any can replicate, for example. Linux drivers push advanced features to devices that mainstream support has moved past years ago, while increasingly offering best of breed implementations of cutting edge features & rapid adoption of Vulkan standards & extensions.

The other topic worth mentioning is systems like Stadia, which is Linux based. Maybe that wasn't necessary, but it is a strong indicator to me that Linux is an interesting & worthwhile place for gaming. That there's interesting stories of system utilization & decreasing latency that no other platform could have provided. New frontiers are possible, because the platform is not closed, and that enables new interesting gaming to emerge.
Electron is going to get a lot of shit for this, but this is really Discord's screw-up for allowing third-party (e.g. not vetted) iframe embeds.. why would that ever be a good idea? CVE-2020-15174 is an interesting exploit (the only part I find pretty damning).
