When I started with that idea a lot of people considered it crazy. But for some jobs I've had the trouble of not having a network in some places was so annoying that I thought: not in my place. For me it totally paid off, it's just convenient to have a proper connection everywhere. Also because we were living in the house during renovations so moved desk multiple times. Granted there are sockets which I haven't actually used yet, but there's equal amounts for which at one point I thought 'damn, so convenient that this socket is here' :). E.g. FM reception here sucks for some stations, now I just carry a little RaspberryPi+speakers mounted on a piece of wood around as 'radio' and can just plug it in in any room. Also if I see the mess some people go through in a brand new house, dealing with wifi repeaters on all floors and sometimes long cables to feed them just to get a signal which is still worse than a fixed line, I think this way is more convenient.
I suspect we will continue to see services that unbundle social media's hottest topics.

Social media may have created an outrage economy -- a subset of the attention economy.

But like ebay, craigslist, etc, the social media platforms' broad focus means their product can't specialize when strong trends emerge. The outrage will be unbundled by niche companies.

I actually think this is a good thing. Seeing conspiracy theories on the same platform as your cousin's family photos, or nobel winners, has a legitimacy-building effect on the outrage content. Maybe on its own platform it will look more like what it actually is. Nobody mistakes the tabloids in the checkout aisle for a legitimate newspaper.
> Dick Costolo, the former CEO of Twitter, made a post about "lining up and shooting" people. AOC recently tweeted about "making lists" of opposition supporters, which was amplified by many others.

The former Twitter CEO is not the POTUS, and while the tweet is distasteful, is it really surprising that Twitter doesn't have the resources to flag tweets by every user on the platform? Auto-flagging works for links, not for inciteful remarks. AOC, on the other hand, wasn't talking about death lists, like you imply in your comment, she was talking about people taking responsibility for their actions under the Trump regime.

> Whatever pretzel-like justifications one may come up with for the obvious double-standard, the average person no longer believes in neutrality of media or of any of the major tech platforms.

Yes, because the average American is a fascist at this point. This says more about average people than it says about tech platforms, though.
This is not even an argument.

They don't say illegal immigrant is bad as a legal status (so that merely changing the law to make everyone legal would make it ok).

They say that illegal immigrants are bad for the same reason that the lawmakers made a distinction between legal and illegal immigrants: to place quota, immigration criteria, and so on.
The brick wall I noticed was MS Outlook and Teams on Android didnt let me copy paste text to any non-MS app, other apps just got a plaintext error message. To open any link, I had to install Edge for Android. The phone also has policies enforced by MS Intune. How will a new player break into this market?
It's not for me either. I feel as though there's a lot of peer pressure to say I love working from home, and I'm so much more productive!

I hate it, it makes me miserable and I'm much less productive.

I'm back in the office 5 days per week again, through choice. Most of the time, I'm there on my own, but get to see others when they show up, and also get to leave work at the office, come home and relax.
It's not the recycling, it's the sending them back through the same supply chain that would be the problem.

If it was crowdfunded somehow I’d think that. This is someone with plenty of room for their ideas (Mercers are pretty extreme in this sense!) so it’s someone making a space for others’ ideas in that case.

But more likely it’s a scheme to create a platform to deliver ideas to a specific target group. Or a way of attacking the established actors and regulation in the space. Or a way of simply creating division. Or (my guess) all of the above.
> Modal editing is not hard. ... Not harder than learning German or English or Chinese Mandarin.

Oh sure, it's not hard at all when compared to something really hard!

> Do you believe that if people in Germany speak german fluently they are trying to signal anything to others?

No they speak German because that's the easiest option for communicating with other people. Vim is not the easiest option for text editing.

Terrible analogy.

There are motorized whole house water valve shut offs that can be connected to leak sensors. Have a water heater rust out, leak, fill the pan, trip the sensor, shutoff the house water, continue to slowly leak its 30-60 gallons out, but at least it’s not continuous, pressurized leaking until you notice.

Even without an automated valve, you could shut off a manual valve yourself if alerted to a slow leak.

Leak sensors can also help if you have a failed sump pump. My sump pits have a main pump, about 6” higher a second battery-backed pump with a (local) alarm. It’s a good idea, but the battery pump often fails to run when needed because of sitting so long, so the alarm is a wise addition. (If it ever goes off while you’re not testing the system, something needs attention.)

Hey brother, I'm sorry to hear you're going through all of this at once. I've been through the grinder a few times - still am - but not like this, so I can imagine it must be tough.

When you're with somebody, especially for so long and on the road to marriage, they almost become your purpose in life. Losing someone like that means you also lose your sense of purpose, so everything else feels like you're just aimlessly passing time as you described.

The important thing is to not let it continue to spiral down. Force yourself to stay away from the mindless browsing. Start doing things to stimulate yourself more and work towards something. For me, it was running. I hated running. I still hate running. But it gives you something to work towards, and you'll begin looking for other things to work on too. It's difficult at first, and it will initially seem like just a distraction, but if you stick to it you'll realise you still have a journey to go on. It doesn't just stop here, so don't let it. It's hard to believe it now, but it will get better.

I know I'm just some random bloke on the internet, but if you do want someone to talk to, shoot me an email. I'm not a professional, but realise that you're not alone, and if it helps you reconnect to the world in some way then I'm happy to chat. And that goes for anyone. We'll all make it out stronger on the other side.
What do you mean by always on the developer?

Do you mean that the developer caused them? Because that is _mostly_ true but not always (because you can have bugs reported to you that are upstream ones).

Do you mean that developers are responsible for fixing them? That is simply false, even in commercial software you have no moral imperative to fix bugs, and very often with good business strategy you ignore a lot of inconsequential bugs.

Just about any serious FOSS developer I know has commercial software development experience, so I don't think your opinion is as unique as you might imagine.

The only thing you've actually told us with this comment is you follow people who post a lot of drama. Presumably because you like reading it. I have no sympathy.
We haven’t really had a bad economy for tech in the past 10 years. Ever since the mobile App Stores opened up and cloud computing began to take off, tech entrepreneurship entered a boom cycle and it’s been eternal September since then.

The ease of getting investment throughout the years has varied, notably the hardest point to raise money was around the middle of the decade, but for the most part if you have not made a lot of money from tech in the past 10 years you have done something wrong.
Hey thanks for the input. I haven't tried that approach yet, but I'll consider it for future endeavours.

So far I'm quite happy with the SaaS approach as I'm able to prioritize my effort on improving the product for customers who support it via paid plans.

As a one-man team it's important to reduce operational efforts. I like very much the idea of having monthly subscriptions with predictable cash flows. Let's see how it goes.
It's a complex issue and reducing it to a "yes/no" questions doesn't live up to it, is what you mean.

Having said that, just taking a simple poll like this is a great starter, I think. Simplified, but very clear and understandable result and also: Easy to conduct.
I see, ok, thanks for your feedback @wcerfgba.
> I didn't call you to put my information in your systems,

They also didn't release anything that wasn't already available by a variety of other means. This is all non-sensitive public data.

So many comments in this thread are an ad hoc emotional (crying) response to the phrase leaked data without any thought as to actual harms.
And more safely, as there is no possibility of superheating the water.
Do you think there's something inherent about forwarding packets or beaming WiFi that make devices unreliable or have you considered the possibility that purchasing a more expensive device might resolve these issues for you?

MikroTik routers a good for the price, WiFi is decent. Ubiquity APs are good for their price, WiFi is about as good as it gets.
HP ProCurve switches has been to space.

You could use any device that runs Linux to DYI these things. Though you need one 2ghz and one 5ghz NIC in the device acting AP.

Since i started working IT 5 years ago and got some gear from work I've never had to reboot my device because it stopped functioning though I have scheduled automatic software updates checking (and installing if available) every day at 5am which implies automatic reboots every once in awhile.
Apple is actually bigger by employee count, however about half (I think) are retail employees in the stores.

So yes - a very large organisation. However Apple's chip design teams are much, much smaller than that. And because Apple mostly doesn't do chip design those teams are likely able to work like a startup, without much internal politics or in-fighting. Where as all of Intel's 100,000+ employees are basically devoted to chip design and manufacture.

Apple as a whole, though, is starting to look rather sick from the same sort of problems that Intel has. Under Jobs there was an energy and clarity of purpose that's been lacking for some time. The drift in Apple's core businesses are obvious. The iPhone has been stuck in turgid incrementalism for a long time now, and has already been largely "disrupted" by Android which sold into cheaper markets and used that to fund R&D budgets that match Apple's. We don't think of it as disruption because Android arrive so soon after the iPhone and thus there was no obvious delayed "disruption event", Apple just had their market share capped by the refusal to compete on price, which is why Apple fans have for years been forced to make arguments about why Apple is successful because they take a larger profit margin than others.

Their core Mac business has also been adrift for many years now. I and many others actively avoid trying to upgrade because things frequently get worse rather than better. The first decade of the century saw constant innovation in the Mac business, after all their best people were reallocated to the iPhone and iPad, quality entered a long period of decline. macOS releases struggled with regressions and rarely introduced new innovations worth caring about. Their apps and hardware have also stalled with own goals and unforced errors like the keyboard fiasco <looks at butterfly keys with holes in the plastic from ordinary levels of use>.

Developer experience and docs are another area of problems, there was a good rant about it posted here the other day.

All these are due to organisational rot, and most obviously, a form of in-fighting between iOS / macOS in which the iWorld got the best people and resources, leaving macWorld to pathetically try and steal things from the other group occasionally, regardless of whether it made sense for a laptop context or not.
Because I don’t want to read in full darkness. I sometimes read for several hours before I sleep, the lack of light would make me fall asleep far too early (I already wake up at 4 in the morning when I sleep normally).
> Have you explored opportunities to apply data science to agriculture?

This is the most straightforward route imo. Just pick up some of the skills required to get going, which it sounds like they are based on the post, and just start tweaking with stuff in your field. They already have a great advantage of specialized knowledge about the subject they would be applying it to and Ag, from someone who grew up and worked on a row crop farm, seems very ripe for exploration through data science.

Yes, too expensive. People who live in $5k per month matchbox apartments in global alpha cities are not the type of people who buy luxuries.

Ask any high earner in a place like HK, central London, or Singapore.

They will wait for a cheaper Chinese copy.

> All the code of this project is in Python, so who cares about what it is using under the surface?

Because this can be considered a special case, where the required critical logic is available as a library, which is not something that can be assumed as a general case in product development.

Dude's in Iran, not New Jersey. Pretty sure "western countries" the only ones experimenting with gender neutral anything, mostly because there are large populations of over educated people with weird ideas who have never been around children.

The easy solution is to have the intelligence in the lightbulbs the way Philips, Osram and IKEA did on their Zigbee based systems.

I have all lights (100+) in the house on Zigbee but without changing any wiring. Only non standard is that I replaced all the wall switches with a variant that's electrically "always on" and sends a Zigbee command when pressed (and can be pulled out to access a traditional physical switch as a backup in case of full system failure). They fit the original Siemens outer wall plates that my house was built with so everything looks standard. Returning evening to non-smart in case I want to sell the place is an afternoon of work replacing the switches behind the plastic face plate with their old versions. Those are all in a box in the attic :-)

The benefits of smart lights for comfort are pretty big, auto-on lights by motion detection is great for bathrooms, storage rooms etc. Having the color temperature match outside and time of day is also much better than traditional dimmers. Voice control is useful in some situations (mostly when cooking or carrying kids or groceries). And being able to walk out the front door saying "Alexa, turn off all lights" is a great way to save energy and make things easy.
I don't have hands on experience, but I read about it a lot.

Yes, it is not meant for DIY, but in Germany there is a big DIY community, unfortunately that also means a lot of hands-on experience is shared in German forums and Youtube channels.

The main issue is the ETS software you need to configure KNX devices. Full license is around 2k€, but if you have up to 15 KNX devices I believe there is a cheaper license.

Next apartment/house i buy will probably be wired with KNX for roller shutters, heating/air conditioning and for lighting either KNX or KNX-Dali Gateway.

This feels a bit like “Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a homemade megaphone using only some string, a squirrel, and a megaphone.”
I have been doing open source for 4-5 months now (main project has 1.8k stars on Github so far), so I am a newbie. However, I have always found ignoring people to be difficult. I immediately get a sense of guilt when doing it.

The question was for wireless lights. A radio-controlled dumb-switch used this way is still wireless lightning.

And what privacy concerns are there with lights that have no internet connection whatsoever?
Maybe the author should add a stripe integration in front of their website
You know... light switches ain’t so bad. All this pain in the ass and expense, I don’t understand it. I want less of this in my life. These piles of shit we make with computers are worse than useless. We just make more and more mess.
I like to do something mundane with a guaranteed success. For example recapping vintage gear like EQ etc. Or do rewiring.
Yes, it really just depends on the circumstances.

At a friend's house at 2am in San Diego, first hard rain in months, outdoor drain that parallel garages cement slopes into was clogged. Water got to be hilariously high, he'd mentioned that before he rented the place his ground level bedroom adjacent to the garage had been remodeled because of a flood. So like, 8 inches high. Anyways, we had thousands of dollars of lithium batteries on the garage floor... shit got dangerously close, and all it took was clearing some leaves out of the drain to fix. If nobody would've happened to be there though, would've been quite the bad situation.

That's a bit not answering your question tho - with regards to alarms tripping, know somebody with a warehouse in Sacramento - owner hadn't been at the shop for a few days, employee had. One night a security alarm trips, he makes the 20 min drive to the shop, turns out the security alarm circuit had shorted from water 4" high water level caused by a paper towel clogging a sink that was left on. Fortunately he had mostly everything on raised shelving.

If you you have a reason to have some alarms, and they go off when you're away, you'll likely be able to say whether or not it's worth it to call emergency services and say literally break my windows and go inside to see what happened. In the case of a burst water pipe or something, they'd be able to shut off your water mains saving you from further damage. That's the jist or so.
Well, the problem is that OSCP is leaking which applications you open (and when you open them) which is the big deal IMO. One solution would be that the OSCP is checking the HTTPs certificate in cleartext once upon startup (and maybe once every day or so thereafter), and is using HTTPs for all subsequent application requests.

I don't really see a problem here how that could cause a loop. This way, an attacker can only see:

- When you boot your Mac because it verifies the HTTPs certificate once.

- When the OSCP daemon makes a clear text request to check that the HTTPs cert is still ok

- That you have just opened an application (but not which application)

IMO that still leaks an unacceptable amount of meta data but it is miles better then using cleartext. Maybe a bloom filter here would be a much better solution + make the daemon regularly fetch bad signature that are not added the the filter yet instead of pulling. Sure the filter may hit false positives sometimes but in that case, the OSCP server could be checked and apple could see if a certificate has a high rate of false positives and adjust the bloom filter accordingly.
Heh, I meant trickle down as in the model we got was the top of the line, and the lower ends seem to have the rotary thing so I assume good old electronics there.

We chose built-in mainly because a built-in regular oven was better in terms of ergonomics for my gf, and due to specific constraints of our rather small kitchen a built-in micro above it was the best solution.
CA gave Trump an upgrade from a no clue operator to a very efficient marketing operation with hypertarget personalized ads. Trump ran/runs several paid conversion funnels on social media. He build a community of followers that he leverages as an army. He gamified the engagement with his community and monetizes their attention. Marketing innovation is like technology innovation, companies spend similar amount s on innovation but the ROI is very different.
Absolutely. You follow humans. Whole humans. They have every right to attract followers with technical tweets and then suddenly anger half their followers by being political come election year.

I don’t think it’s possible to create a safe space from opinions you disagree with. What happens on twitter could happen with your friend or uncle. On Twitter it’s at least easy to unfollow someone and it’s not a personal tragedy like it is if you need to break from a relative because they turn out to believe in conspiracy theories.
