I SIM swapped myself twice on Sprint without authorization at an Apple store. Sales reps can generate a one time code for Sprint Support that allows them to bypass some of the IVRs and prove the call is coming from an Apple Store. Sprint support won't ask for a PIN or SSN. Just the line's number. Bam!

How many people can do this? See those mom and pop "authorized resellers" at the mall? Yeah.

I find a lot of pirate services don't really serve the 4k market that well. The vast majority of it is 1080p. Do you just use 1080p or 4k in your piracy adventures? Is the new thing not bittorrent?
I'm guessing this likely also applies to a Google Voice account phone number.
I have a problem which requires automated valve control — too many times a sprinkler failure has led to days of leaks before being noticed, so

1) I don’t want the water feed to the irrigation on when the sprinklers are not supposed to be running, and

2) I want a daily report on how many gallons went out that pipe to detect if something has changed.

The issue I’m running into is all the motorized ball valves or solenoids for 3/4” water pipes seam to be total junk.

Any suggestion for sourcing a decent motorized valve?
I think of it as writing everything twice to appease the unit testing gods. If done indiscriminately it really is more of a ritual to ward of the bug gremlins than an effective development practice.

Integration tests do suffer from a whole set of problems that unit tests do not but with one fundamental difference: they're usually problems that are soluble with better engineering techniques.

Integration tests that go red when something other than the code changes often provide useful feedback, so I wouldn't necessarily rule them out.

I don't think this distinction is exactly correct. I've worked on some enterprise projects with larger scale teams that have used React. It offers a bit more control than Angular does in terms of what your frontend 'stack' is comprised of. This level of control can be appealing for large projects.

I kinda see a trend that projects started after x date tend to use React over Angular, but I am unsure of what x is or how universal this is.

I beg to differ. Network connectivity in a managed home environment is fine. I use Termux to transfer backups, images, PDFs between my home server and an "old" Nexus7 tablet. And I sometimes use it as an offline map device while hiking, after downloading OSM maps and gpx files with track infos.
Correct, it means General Availability. It’s pretty common to abbreviate it (actually, I don’t think I ever see it written out).

I want cheap and refills. Reuse should be cheaper than buying new everything. Pricing today is backwards because it externalizes the costs of throwaway everything. We collectively pay the price of cheap, unrepairable, unrefillable, un-re-usable goods.
Really nice work, but also quite misleading. The "real" map isn't interesting enough, so 97% of votes are excluded from the most populous liberal counties using an artificially low ceiling.

There’s a few collective pitch quadrotors that use a single gas drivetrain to spin the props and servos for pitch control.

You'd need a good planetary alignment to get the huge boost that voyager got. But not to get on the trajectory. Your repeater would get further and further from voyager, but not as quickly as earth is.

And yes, the repeater can both do tx and rx repeating.

That said, I'd expect Earth based (including earth based orbit) solutions to outperform at a lower cost for a long long time.
Great story, perfectly written, I read it all.
The 1800s were not a period of domination for either gender -- by any measure. Pretty much every era has been a period of domination for the wealthy and ruling class. Within that wealthy and ruling class (which accounts for less than 1% of the population) you may be able to have a discussion about gender, but the fact remains that the vast majority of men and women -- for all of history -- have been subjugated by the ruling class.

Are you seriously claiming almost every academic paper in a prestigious journal demonstrates more innovation and creativity than that displayed by the deployment of the Voyager spacecraft? I strongly disagree.

Remember also that a large fraction if not a majority of the Voyager team almost certainly had PhDs or even came from academia. I think we can appreciate innovation and creativity everywhere without having to make it into a genital measuring contest.

I'm a bit of a weirdo but at the current time, my gigabit is provided by a company whose name histortically was associated with a monopolistic company (AT&T) but really was cobbled out of the bones of several large dead telecom companies and is now a monopoly again. It costs $100/month, is delivered by fiber straight to my house from a pole, works as described (in terms of latency and speed tests), and I don't want it to change at all for the next decade. I don't feel overcharged and the service is excellent compared to every broadband I've had before.

The counterargument is that I happen to live in an area where it makes economic sense for AT&T to do this (high density homes, high level of internet use).

It's the simplest way for github to archive a system which seems to work well in general.

Then they throw it at the community and hope that any rough edges/problems are overshadowed by the hype around it and by cool thinks people do with it. Then they can slowly incrementally fix it with "live" feedback.

Ironically while this might seem bad long term it can potentially lead to a better end-product from both the view of github and the users.

The only problem is that you run at risk of ossification, i.e. you no longer being able to fix a problem because to many rely on it being that way.

Keep increasing the tax until the alternative becomes a more affordable option.
A different way to think about this is that if Facebook had piecemeal released these new concepts it could have caused _more_ fatigue since it might have felt like an endless parade of new things.

This is opposed to releasing it all at once, meaning you could sit down and learn the new things in one go, and apply that knowledge for some time before needing to learn anything else.
Quite possibly, it's interesting how local these things can be. I'd not really even considered that places wouldn't sell battered sausages. It would be almost like going in and finding out that they didn't offer fish battered - it just seemed so standard. I guess while I've lived in a variety of cities I've only been to a fairly small number of chip shops, something I'd not considered until now.
I've seen pen refills, but they end up having as much packaging as cheap throw away pens.

It’s only capping the saturation, so that counties with > 60000 residents are shown in brightest color. The color itself though still varies from red to blue based on percentage vote margin. In my mind, this is a great tradeoff, with the only exception that dark Grey counties (large counties with roughly 50:50 split) are way more important than they look since humans tend to de emphasize greys. I would have preferred a brown or something. Purple is not used as it has an imbalanced perceptual effect.
>Where is the competition?

60 to 90 percent of households have access to two or more options for fixed (wired) broadband[1] depending on how you classify broadband, and that's not even counting the wireless options.

That, to me, seems as about as competitive as you're reasonably ever going to get across a medium that is a natural monopoly without putting the government in the same line of business, which quite frankly, I don't see as their place.

If wrapping something in plastic makes it so expensive (through taxes) that it causes the end product to lose competitiveness with something not wrapped in plastic, companies will be incentivized to not wrap their product in plastic.
I think telecom is like power, the only way it can be split is by creating horizontal markets, emphasis on plural, and preferably along some natural lines to the fictional overhead such as generation/distribution in the case of electrical markets.

For communications I think the way to do it might be to create 3-4 levels of responsibilities and say that no single player can operate in more than a few levels at once and must offer their services via live public auction or standard public wholesale pricing.

For wireless the way I'd split is is:
1. Location/site management, aka who owns/manages the poles.
2. Operating the actual Networking/Peering equipment, networking to the site with permission of #1.
3. Consumer/retail such as MVNO; direct-use in the case of large businesses, or value-add aggregation/resale for intermediates.

For wired the way I'd split is is:
1. Global networking/peering.
2. Regional networking/peering.
2. Last-mile equipment/rights, servicing.
3. Consumer/retail, value-add etc.

The goal here being to reduce the barrier to entry for small players via horizontalization which increases competition but not draw too many hard lines so that players have some flexibility in organization and so that players in one level have the opportunity of punching through to an adjacent or skip level if it is being overpriced.

I know someone who needed to run a large-ish distributed workload. The project had a pretty respectable budget (I think more than $10k, less than $1M).

They were going to rent DigitalOcean servers, because benchmarks showed they were the cheapest hosting provider around.

Then their account got banned due to "patterns associated with cryptocurrency mining." And they had no way to get in contact with a human, appeal the ban and explain their situation.

(Interesting side-note: Even if they were doing cryptocurrency mining, AFAICT it isn't against DigitalOcean ToS.)

They ended up switching to another provider (Linode I think?)

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, it's an example of a cheap provider who has good paper specs and even good benchmarks. But when you actually try to use the platform at scale, you'll discover there's some catch and you can't actually use it.

(I speculate that maybe DigitalOcean madly oversubscribes physical CPU, so anyone who actually uses the resources they pay for trips the automated system and gets their account banned, because DigitalOcean can't both keep their cheap prices and pay for the engineering effort to figure out how to throttle customers who peg their CPU. So they make enough money to stay in business from websites and non-CPU-heavy workloads, but have to use the backdoor "cryptocurrency mining" banning excuse to turn away customers who basically want to buy CPU-hours.)

Why not both? There's also a big difference between one time usage of plastic and reusable/reused plastic. For example, used in packaging, its almost all one time usage. However in say a laptop or smartphone, the product gets used for years.

I agree. Good, stable abstractions covering complicated logic are where unit tests shine.

Unfortunately I find this scenario is also more the exception than the rule.

Big ball of mud apps with few effective tests are the norm and apps which do very little complex logic under the hood (focused instead mainly on hooking together services) are also not at all uncommon.
I prefer to think of plastics that break down easily. Some plastics can be composted. Landfills already capture methane emissions, so a plastic that breaks down to methane and other simple (safe) things in a landfill is ideal: we get energy out of waste. (Breaking down in a landfill is a tricky problem)
"MMT’s political bullet point of “deficits don’t matter so spend like crazy” empowers a unique set of policies."

Good job that isn't what MMT says then isn't it.

Quite why people insist on putting up that straw man I don't know. It just makes them look ridiculous.

MMT says when you run out of things to buy at a price worth paying the spending automatically stops, and that means you can only really buy the unemployed.

If you want anything else you have to tax first to make what you want to buy unemployed. Then you can buy it.

It's no longer a matter of running out of money, as that is impossible, it's a matter of running out of unemployed to deploy.

If anyone reading this consider getting into long distance hiking, I'd encourage you to do so. While it is always best to avoid getting into dangerous situations rather than finding your way out of there, getting yourself either:

1. A subscription based satellite messenger (Garmin Mini is only 100g/3.5oz and is backed by Iridium. Globalstar is the other big network).

2. Personal Locator Beacon (COSPAS-SARSAT backed device) that has no subscription fee and is backed by better availability guarantees (Resqlink is only 4.6 oz) but has no messaging capabilities other than an "SOS signal".
