> Soleh et al. tested the device on six samples of dried chilies dissolved in an ethanol-based solution. They placed a drop in the detection chamber and found that the device could accurately measure concentrations of capsaicin in all six samples.

So in order to use this right now, you need to dry and dissolve the chili? This definitely doesn't sound like something a normal consumer could use by e.g squeezing a chili and putting a few drops into the device... or does it?

Maybe that means the delivery method still has to be improved.
Today I've updated to the newest Kubuntu release 20.10 and considered switching to Wayland, but then abandoned the idea when I found out that middle click copy paste is only implemented in Plasma 5.20, and I only have Plasma 5.19. I've seen they've fixed the screenshot program though (which I remember to have been an issue on older versions).

I'm looking forward to 21.04 for my next attempt to switch, maybe by then Firefox's native wayland support will have progressed as well. After all what's the point of Wayland when most of your software uses xwayland :).

Just wanted to highlight from the FAQ:

Who owns the map's data?

Wheelmap is based largely on the free world map OpenStreetMap which stores all the data. The data sets are published under the Open Database License (ODbL) and are available to everyone and can be used free of charge. On the service https://www.accessibility.cloud/ , which is the technical backend of Wheelmap.org, more data is shown, provided by partners with varying licences. Sozialhelden e.V. merely incorporates this data into the map.

It's really good to see a project like this open up it's data for sharing and re-use.
Interesting, and potentially useful to decrease payments friction, although the challenge with these sorts of transfer schemes is that non-repudiation of contractual “promises” is not addressed.

Oh yeah, aren’t ACH numbers fraud risks too, if they’re public?

I remember a story about a major German bank who reused an IBAN for one of their treasury accounts and honoured direct debits for quite some time, so there are some risks with IBANs being known in some cases.

I think that removing friction will also make fraud much easier and prevalent.

I don't think literacy has much to do with it, but rather the segregation of the population by income levels.

In India, in the southern state of Kerala which has achieved a 100% literacy rate, you have this sort of lively discussion in small teashacks in both villages and cities. People group together, read the news, and discuss it together regardless of political affiliation. If certain people start causing issues and fights, they are usually thrown out at the first unwelcome instance, and barred from ever entering the place again. What's different between Kerala and the West today might be the lack of Twitter presence for most, a disdain for political discussion on Facebook (due to police/government monitoring) and the more frequent interactions between the wealthy and the poor (since human labor is still widely used in India). And unlike other states with lower literacy rates, people from Kerala tend to be exposed to a lot of news, hence they are politically more active.
It didn't seem to need particularly much data, and all of it was justified. It's pretty much exactly the same as I gave e.g. Github and Steam.

I don't particularly expect Facebook to continue locking accounts used to just for VR. Locking accounts is expensive, both in terms of customer support and PR. They don't want to do any more of it than they absolutely have to. Their team for preventing bulk account creation just hadn't considered this particular use case. But there's a ludicrous amount of signals available for non-bulkiness here, I expect them to sort it out very quickly.

I have grown up in eastern Europe. In the high school we have a subject called "przedsiębiorczość" (entrepreneurship). If I remember correctly 1h per week.

My teacher was a guy that has his own small IT shop, and he was really excited about having his own (albeit small) business. Unfortunately he cannot teach us anything usable, because he had to follow the official curriculum. Which was about demand and supply theory and economics importance to the modern society. All theoretical stuff without any practical use. The other thing was that I was living in post-communist country, where people generally disregarded entrepreneurship. Everyone that has money was think of as a criminal or a person that takes bribes.

When I was attending university, my economy knowledge was very low. I only heard about so called incubators (you may think of them as watered down startup accelerators for students with good ideas) on my last year there. It never occurred to me to start my own company as I was a student.

Now I regard this times as a wasted opportunity. I really envy people that are 4 or 5 years younger than me. In these 5 years mentality changed and now I see a lot of people starting their own companies or joining US startups (at least here in Warsaw). The law was also simplified and some barriers were lifted (e.g. amount of cash needed to start LLC company). And I ended up working at late stage US startup...

The difference is that they probably wont tamper with someones data but they can. On a distributed ledger however "they" are many different humans who don't know each other and have only one common interest and that is that no one tampers with the data. And even if a majority would collude and tamper it would be impossible to hide that from the others.

No, the code is provided for the purpose enabled by ytdl.

I'll try to clarify that elsewhere:

> Youtube-dl is executing code provided by Google/YouTube, for Wold Wide Web user agents, as a World Wide Web user agent, and meant to be accessed _and run_ by user agents in order to access YouTube content. That is, youtube-dl's operation is entirely within YouTube's technical design and intent.
what I mean is I don't understand why the post is significant.

This is something I'd expect to see done by just about anybody along with the full 8th blocks https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements on literally the first day or two of starting this kind of project.

I like positive open source threads sure, but is that what this is about or is there some extraordinary technical details I'm not seeing?

I fear you are right. While there might be commits in the Wayland repos, featurewise progress has ceased. Waylands broken architecture has made progress hard to impossible. Porting of popular window managers is extremely slow since there is just no thought given to X compatibility. Input handling by each application on its own is insane and broken. Feature-consistency across compositors on things like screenshots is a pipe-dream. A promised easy ssh -X replacement doesn't work right after a decade.

Waylands broken architecture makes progress slow through unnecessary duplication, incompatibility and the lack of a smooth migration for many software packages (usually it's rewrite-time). Wayland should be abandoned and the design redone.
It seems like they are repackaging Gutenberg books. But did not mention Gutenberg.
Funnily enough earlier today I checked the status of Wayland on my setup- Arch - with KDE and my main issue is still mouse gestures. Currently using easystroke, which is itself an abandonware, but until I find something that works under Wayland I can't change yet nomatter the quality of DEs etc.
Considering the Victorian who were heavy tea drinkers, no.

Note that London was a hotbed for a lot of revolutionary people, including Karl Marx (who eventually settled down there).
It's amazing that people will defend apple on this. apple and others should not have gotten away with locking down paid for devices. It's ultimately the fault of the consumer. They bought an expensive device but still accept to pay 30% to apple for every app they buy, forever. Yes, ultimately it's still the consumer that pays for this (companies will of course factor in the store prices before launching). not to mention the censoring power that apple and google now wield; they can close down any app with "hey, you didn't abide by the T&C that we wrote ourselves and keep amending".

also, consoles and phones are not the exactly same story. phones are ubiquitous now. everyone has a phone, not everyone has a PC and very few have consoles. it's one thing to get a cut of every transaction and another to get a cut of a few transactions. imagine your ISP is allowed to take a cut of every payment you make.

Wheelmap mostly a front for OpenStreetMap; it doesn’t own any data.
Pen and paper, honestly. I didn't even need a calculator for most of my maths degree, never mind a programming language.

Learning and exploring maths will involve theorems, deriving stuff, solving textbook problems, that kind of thing. Not much of this will involve actual numbers or explicitly calculating anything. In any case, the calculation is very often the "easy" bit, without much to be gained knowledge-wise unless you know why you're doing what you're doing.

And then Julia is probably your best bet. I'll also recommend R, just because nobody else has. It's got all the advantages of Julia with the added benefits of being a much slower and quirkier language. It does do a good job of getting out of the way when you just want to do explore some math concept though.
I have an HP desktop I bought for photography work and I have the weird behavior described, too. I've found that if I uninstall HP Audio Controls or whatever it's called it leaves me alone and the windows output selector does a perfectly fine job of switching outputs.

> The MIN, MAX, and AVERAGE of an empty list is N/A. SUM could have been 0, but then SUM(X) / COUNT(X) would be different from AVERAGE(X).

0/0 is mathematically undefined— it is a reasonable calculation to produce NULL on its own, and then SUM could do the sensible thing of returning the additive identity.
Most chiles used by consumers, especially the really spicy ones, come dried? The only fresh chiles I regularly see at grocery stores are jalapenos, whereas I often see up to a dozen varieties of dried ones.
As a web dev I needed to know some trig to visualize a star shaped diagram. Not that advanced, I know.

In HFT firms you need to know some calculus as some of your data are going to be mathematical objects that are squarely in the field of calculus.

Game devs need to know about matrices and quaternions. Mostly on how to use it, no proofs necessary.

There are some fields and exploit chains where knowing some math to advanced math is necessary for hacking. For example checkout Triton and PIN from Intel and SMT solvers. I needed to instrument a binary program in class and use Triton to make an SMT equation, solve it and crack a password that way.

Data scientists need to know statistics but you could argue they aren’t software devs but I bet some of them are both while having data scientist as a title.

When performing speed optimization experiments, it is necessary in some cases to know statistics as you’re really finetuning things. Simply hitting run for a few times and observing a 5x to 10x speedup doesn’t fall into this category, as the speedup is obviously visible. I am talking about stuff that you can’t distinguish that easily.

In general life, I would say strong knowledge about statistics is helpful. It helped me accurately assess the covid threat where I live. It also taught me to take every small chance out there. If I take enough chances then the likelihood of me hitting one of them becomes very very likely. I played poker as a teenager and have used statistical/chance-based thinking ever since and it helped me to experience more certainty in uncertain situations. I have played enough hands to know what a 1% chance of losing feels like (it feels like paying a fee to win the other 99 times, on average. Except if you’re not paying attention. Then it feels like you shouldn’t have lost and you’re probably going on tilt.).

That’s what I know so far.
Everyone should take deno seriously, at this point imho it is pretty clear that nodejs is legacy and deno the future. It will not happen tomorrow of course as especially tooling and the nodejs compatibility layer has a long way to go but never dealing with node_modules again and a sound security model as well as web apis instead of custom nodejs ones is allready enough to make it killer, on top there is the integrated typescript runtime of course...
Why are 3rd party password stores like 1Password better than Apple’s Keychain or Google’s password store?
IMO, anti-trust laws should punish this.
Where is that supposed Wayland progress after a decade? Input is broken and inconsistent, screenshots don't work, remoting is broken, every WM has to be rewritten or abandoned, trivialities like c&p handling are not yet there. Wayland is still in the early phase of catching up to X11, for any progress it will take another decade or maybe even a Wayland replacement. We should face it, Wayland is a dead end.

I stopped using Chrome but now realize I never thought to check into what it has saved for me. I’ll have to check into that and erase it all if I can.

The better answer to obvious trolling is downvoting/flagging and moving on. Feeding the troll only derails the thread.
Gmail killfiled a domain I was running on a small but reputable ISP I had used since 2001 (there were no spam or reputation issues in 17 years).

They did let one-in-20 or so emails through, but everything else got to gmail recipients’ Spam folder. I wasn’t able to troubleshoot this with Google tools, and there’s no one to talk to at google.

(Worst thing, you get no feedback - except realizing a month later that someone didn’t get an email you sent)

I gave up and replaced small ISP with fastmail.

My bottom line is that, no you can’t really run your own SMTP server anymore unless google, Microsoft and fastmail let you, by virtue of hoisting 90% of your recipients.

Are there some other languages support something like condition system in Common Lisp?
X.org works fine, Wayland seems to be another RedHat thing.

I must admit I haven't tried it, but given NetworkManager, systemd and other pearls from RedHat I'm not optimistic.
I would much prefer 4G instead of paying premium for 5G. 4G is fast enough for me and it is hard to find 5G reception. Also recent battery tests of iPhones which suggest 5G uses more battery is discouraging as well. I would much rather have better battery life.
How was 2FA bypassed here?
Lack of an alternative does not make Wayland any better unfortunately.
Where is the line between your right to repair and Caterpillar's rights to the intellectual property embedded in the various controllers on board the equipment?

When does this become an issue when you and Caterpillar have regulatory obligations for the operations of that equipment with regard to emissions, OSHA, MSHA, etc... ?

I am sincerely interested in understanding the reasonable expectations between anything we purchase (hardware, equipment, cars) and the IP we license that provides the functionality we expect from those devices.

If the license were to say up front, before purchasing, "You are purchasing this hardware and receiving a license to use the embedded IP in perpetuity. If you screw around with the IP, all functions will stop working as expected and YOU personally take responsibility for the hardware from that point forward."

Would that address your concerns about, "Right to Repair?"

It's a start, because it clearly articulates the relationship between you and the the hardware you purchased, however, I suspect you also want more information so that you can take any reasonable maintenance actions necessary for the life of that hardware without relying on the manufacturer

But that is speculation on my part

I want a clearer understanding of where you would draw the lines and what you really want from a modern, culturally significant, "right to repair" policy.
Yeah, there's a difference between Microsoft saying "We love open source now" and Microsoft saying "fuck the police, IP law needs to be rebuilt from the ground up anyway".

The idea that Microsoft should lose some of the goodwill it got doing the first for not doing the second is really naive.
I also have the Sony and have noticed the mic issues. But they seem related to Linux, as the quality seems ok when using my iphone. I've never tried it on Windows.

If you don't mind having different gear for conferencing, I use a Jabra Engage 75 [0] which works great on Linux. Lag is unnoticeable to me. Audio quality is terrible for music, though, especially compared to something like the Sony.

So although 54M sounds dramatic, it is not such a big deal.
Yeah, but Wayland won't ever be able to "catch up to X11", because it's broken by design. (See my next comment.)

I'm not sure how fibre optics could help here, an you expand?
Thanks for your comment, and I'm glad to see that you are excited about it! I personally won't be an early adopter and I don't want to do any of the work, but it would be great if lots of people get on board. I'm personally really happy with the current state of JS tooling, and I think node_modules are generally great and work fine. So I'm not too convinced about Rome or deno.

I'm personally looking forward to building a new toy project with Svelte, Sapper, Tailwind CSS, and Snowpack (with TypeScript, Node.JS, and NPM.) This still feels like the future to me.
It's disappointing that Carmack is still working for them in some capacity.

I wonder if Michael Abrash is OK with Facebooks behaviour. He hasn't commented on it as far as i know and he is still leading their VR R&D.
X.org is not abandonware, it is actively supported.

The fact that it's not updated with Awesome New Features every month, well, neither is Bash or Postfix.

Some things should just work.
The attack vector in this case appears to have been read access to the user's SMS messages. (Via some kind of a tee rather than a traditional SIM swap, since the user was also getting copies on their phone. My best guess would be that their mobile operator runs one of those crappy services for reading your SMS via a web browser.)

There is no sign that the attacker had a keylogger on the user's laptops, for extracting passwords. If they did, they wouldn't have needed to do account recovery on all these accounts. So the master password of a traditional password manager would not have been compromised.

But our goal is to make a platform for authors to write, publish and sell unfinished books aka manuscript. So basically author will be able to publish two pages from a book and then write in online, discussing everything with his fan community and having controls who see a book.

It will be free for a free books. There will be 15% fee for selling books both finished and manuscripts.
And some twitch like tools for managing and growing a personal community.
And there will be no ad.
Apple phones aren't the only ones available on the planet, and portable gaming devices can also make phone calls over Internet connections.
