I do misunderstand. Please educate me! What makes these better than other headphones or the AirPods Pro, which are looking downright good value right now?
That is almost a form of abuse to be honest. I hope your friend has learned to set boundaries and enforce them. People like her mom are very good at manipulating their children and seeing absolutely nothing wrong with it.
You're comparing a protocol to a set of automation tools. It may or may not be an upgrade. If you want something to handle builds, SSL, routing rules, etc ... then yes.
But you can get good studio monitoring headphones for less than half $550.
Like most good advice, this risks being dismissed as obvious and simple; thanks for posting it anyway. Good stuff.
Eliminating market advantages for incumbents and wealthy seems to me to be obviously in society's interest: It creates a more competitive marketplace for consumers, reducing prices and increasing innovation, it creates more opportunity for innovators, and it's fundamentally more fair - a meritocracy. I think it should be aggressively pursued, but very carefully - we don't want replace one distortion and unfair system with another.

Painting my impressions with a very broad brush: It seems that capitalism was formerly sold to the public as good for society: It provided economic growth, opportunity, and fairness. Those were the goals, and where there were market failures (such as monopolies or prejudice), society would step in and correct it, to further those goals. Now capitalism itself seems to be the goal, the religion, the ideology. It serves no higher purpose - the highest purpose effectively becomes the capitalists. If society steps in, it's rejected as a perversion of capitalism.

I was thinking of Copenhagen Atomics' Waste Burner design where they describe their passive walk-away safety features as "Prime minister safety" [1].

> The CA Waste Burner has a set of systems governed by the laws of physics that cannot be overruled by humans, and which will cause the reactor to shut down safely if something goes wrong...This means that operators are not required to watch for alarms and act in accordance. The CA Waste Burner must be able to automatically shut down before any human can react to an alarm and choose what to do. If human action were ever required for operation, other than during startup procedures, then we would consider it a design failure...

Isn't this also the case with the normal flu? 30,000-60,000 people die from the flu in the US every year. That averages out to 2,500-5,000 a month.
One feature of A/UX that I'd like to see in current Unix and Unix-like systems is Commando. It was a graphical help system for command-line tools.

You would invoke Commando from the shell for a command and it would bring up a dialog to help you construct the command line, which would be written back to the shell.

There's a screen shot of it for ls here [1], and mount here [2].

I was surprised to hear this. Is this still true for Vue 3?
Your anecdotal experience is not borne out by either facts or my anecdotal experience.

Houston is literally the most diverse city in America, statistically speaking.

And you have to look hard to find religiously conservative people in any Texas metro that are also exclusionary. I say that as someone neither white nor Christian.

If anything, the only place you may find a lack of diversity is Austin, which is overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly intolerant of non-leftist opinions.

Do you have any particular reason to believe that? I've worked lots of places that looked very accommodating on the surface, but that doesn't mean they handle things like bi-polar well. In particular, "obvious" disabilities like a wheelchair seem to get handled a lot better. Conversely, policy exceptions like a bi-polar person needing to take more sick days, seem to breed a lot of resentment in certain sorts of managers.

I think there is a certain mindset necessary for success in this area. I believe it is a mindset where even 1,000 failures is not "nothing", it is 1,000 ways on how not to do something. More so than that it is also learnings, execution, and self expression.

The cross-section of people willing to spend "hundreds/thousands of hours building" just don't make it remotely close to that point perceiving their efforts as worthless.
The fun thing about "facts" is that even if the end death toll was the same, that wouldn't be reported on, those facts wouldn't be shared, and reality becomes whatever the media wants it to be.

> The hackintosh community was helpful in providing ACPI dumps from similar enough Dell systems in the same generation that I was able to paste in the missing device to get very consistent S3 performance.

+1. I love the Hackintosh community. Hackintosh forums are a gold mine of solutions to all types of ACPI DSDT problems. Many great tutorials, really helpful to Linux users. If the Hackintosh community doesn't exist, it wouldn't be possible. Not only DSDT, their EFI resources are also great, probably the biggest PC userbase of EFI bootloaders - earlier in this year I used a Hackintosh EFI device driver from Clover (free and open source) to help me booting from NVMe without BIOS support. In my previous life I also solved a non-standard graphics problem by backporting Hackintosh solution to Linux. Looking back, trying Hackintosh turned out to be a great decision, despite I only used it for a few months before quitting (I decided that voluntarily lock myself in a walled garden, then spent a lot of time installing a free software working environment back is unwise), otherwise I could not know its community and innovations.

> Using `acpiexec` was very helpful to simulate invoking sleep/suspend and being able to follow the execution path of where it would get stuck. Also want to add that random wakeups can be triggered by interrupts hitting devices in `/proc/acpi/wakeup`. These wakeup sources can be selectively disabled once the problematic ones are identified. I disable XHC (USB ports)

Thanks for the tip. I hope I'll never have to use it, but it could definitely help if I had to use yet another broken laptop for some reasons.

Emotional management and being able to detach yourself is a legitimate skill that needs to be trained, and it applies to other real-life situations too. Frustrating video games can help! Personally, I already grinded this skill pretty well through many hours of playing and losing at Nethack, an unforgiving roguelike.

I would definitely recommend something in the roguelike/roguelite genre if you're interested in improving your emotional management, since all of your progress can be wiped away by permadeath due to one false move, and you just have to learn to deal with it.
As I said, though, there were any number of other ways you could have visually portrayed childhood innocence. The same model wearing early-childhood styled clothing, or barefoot with a flower garland around her head, would have conveyed the same message. The band was either naive or willfully blind to the use of nudity purely to be "edgy".

I didn't downvote you but you make a lot of patently false claims, which at best show you're ignorant of what SpaceX is doing. As others have said:

- You say "some domains don't lend themselves to rapid prototyping" - yet SpaceX's results speak for itself

- You say "unusually prone to safety incidents" - can you list 5 of them so that we know what you're talking about? "testing incident where a fuel tank exploded" - that's literally their designed operating mode, nobody was put in harm's way, you're basically disagreeing with how they operate (should have the humbleness to consider that their impressive results so far might indicate they're right and you're wrong)

- You say "they can't even take a rocket out safely, how are they hoping to achieve anything" just after even their competitors praised them for the impressive results.

etc. Is it really surprising that you get downvoted?
Crappy drivers. Is there a chance you've been using some device that fails to suspend? Are you using NVidia or other proprietary drivers?

My suggestion is that you run Linux on laptops that everybody else buys. These days the famous ones are Dell XPS and Lenovo Thinkpad.

Also, please make sure you report your issues. Regressions on S3 are often common. Unfortunately developers lack properly testing S3, because it's difficult to test.

Oh, and forget Hibernation (S4). It's crap and it's just never going to work fine. It's not even worth it since the machines boot fast.
My best Airbnb experience was my first one 4 years ago, when with a partner I booked a room in a house with the owner living in. We had a tremendous time, we had bbq one night together, it was an enjoyable not planned semi-communal experience.
Nowadays, the experience Airbnb offers is mostly that of a poorly managed hotel that has properties all over the world. It can be worthwhile when traveling in groups, but otherwise I tend to prefer hotels.

Just in case anyone's confused (I was at first), the title refers to COVID deaths only. The all cause US death toll was ~7,700 per day over the 2017-2019 period, and has likely exceeded the 9/11 number (2,996) every day for decades.
If someone asked me if I've ever used functors or monads in Rust, I would unequivocally say "no, I haven't." And I would say that because I've never written code that's generic over functors or monads.

I think this kind of "you've already used functors or monads, they are just scary names" retort is really missing the point of what folks are complaining about.
It's the daily death toll that exceeds the 9/11 death toll, not the monthly.
Wow, does this bring back memories!

Ambrosia was a huge part of my early days with the Mac. Such great stuff!
In part…updatability.

Let's say you bought a 100-baseT network card in 1995. The features were fixed in metal, and so were the bugs. Even if a new revision of the board or ROM came out, you still had the exact same card. If a flaw was found in one of the chips they used, chances are someone would need to program around it. Settings were probably done once using DIP switches and never touched again. You probably never even knew if a new revision came out.

The wifi card you use today is going to boot up in a pretty dumb state. It'll identify itself on the bus and not much else. Your computer's kernel is going to poll every device on the bus to see who's out there. The wifi card driver is going to match the ID of the wifi card to one it knows and then upload firmware. Then the card will need to briefly reboot into the new firmware and identify itself to the driver again. Then the driver is going to configure it.

It may take a couple of seconds for all this to happen, and it needs to happen for almost everything. Even your CPU which booted the machine in the first place might get patched microcode uploaded when the machine boots.

Nothing is just a device anymore, and nothing is just a device driver.
Bundling is a legitimate market strategy and not inherently anti-competitive. So long as the overall package is not sold at a loss I don't think there's an issue.

There's room for independent apps in the face of a bundled solution. By focusing on one thing you can do it better and cheaper than the packaged solution. And indeed Slack, at least to many, was worth the extra money.

> ...Apple caught everyone with the pants down in the PC industry...

Pffft. There's no competition between PCs and Apple, they're not even in the same class. PCs are general purpose computers and Apple products are closed platform devices that you don't really own or have any control over.

That's why Macs only have 10% the market size of PCs.
Yes, the death toll for the first ten months of 2020 vs first ten months of 2019 is +388K, so unless there's about 200K less deaths than expected in each of Nov and Dec we'll be well above

edit: and since over 200K people die in the US every month during an average year, that is not particularly likely, to say the least

> All the articles on the shortage of COBOL programmers is actually companies whining that they can’t find cheap labor.

The word “COBOL” isn’t necessary in that sentence.

And, for that matter, “programmers” could be replaced with any skilled work field for which such complaints exist.

An actual shortage of labor (where the demand curve is above the supply curve at all price points) is theoretically possible, but in the real world nearly 100% of complaints about labor shortages are really complaints that the intersection of the supply an demand curves are at a point that results in purchasers of labor making less profit from whatever they are buying that labor for than they’d like, and laborers making more than those employers would like.

I find this interesting, Why is Parler a right-wing thing? Why do right-wingers feel the need for a different platform without censorship? Why doesn't left wing people feel the same need? I would assume both wings are equally censored?

I usually use this https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

It looks like close to 3000 deaths were reported the last day or so, but note how there's always this 7 week cycle. I assume it has something to do with reporting delays over weekends. I even noticed a big dip in reports around Thanksgiving in some state graphs, particularly the case counts, followed by apparent spikes to catch up.

So, I always use the 7 day average. It's very smooth, and it looks like we're actually closer to 2500 today. That said, maybe the CDC is using different numbers.

And as long as I mentioned this, I should caveat that in Sweden they actually mark the deaths according to date of death. However, this means that it always looks like there's a big downturn in deaths in the last couple weeks, when there may not actually be.

A lot of rocketry advancement would not be happening if SpaceX didn't enter as a competitor. For that reason alone SpaceX should be lauded. It helps that SpaceX is pursuing the dream of a space faring civilization that was promised decades ago.

Relativity Space looks cool. But until they launch they will sit in the stack of neat tech to maybe be excited about.

I am excited by humans doing things to advance the species. I don't care much who is doing it. But, I have been burned by too much vaporware to get excited by marketing pieces.

One more reason to ask for Elsevier's dismantling.
If 1MW is the actual design limit, it should be possible to test the loop with a mock heat source. At this scale, you could pay for grid power ($40-60/hr).

100MW would be a lot trickier to test due to infrastructure limitations, but you could probably figure something out with natural gas or propane burners.
By putting enough resistors inside, and pumping 100 MW of electricity in? If you're a utility trying this out, you can probably handle that (for some hours, maybe not for weeks).

Baudrillard eat your heart out.

The almost innate human quality of seeking the relative (and modest) safety of what the middle class call "financial freedom", an escape from the hamster wheel of wagecuckery, is now accelerators filled with bullshit artists and financiers at odds with status-game playing success-shamers and the typical rent seekers found around any popular delusion.

People with honest sensible small business advice get treated like heretics or, worse yet, how the bullshit artists should be treated.

Apple wants to _feel_ like a luxury company. It's just a good bit of marketing.

Rolls Royce is a luxury company. Rolex is a luxury company. Apple sells a product that's in the pocket of every other snot-nosed preteen.

However, they charge a larger-than-normal markup, so people feel like it's luxurious.

EDIT: There seems to be some misunderstandings of what a "luxury" good is. Something isn't luxurious just because it is subjectively a little bit better than the competition. Bosch makes the best dishwashers but they are not a luxury brand. Similarly, the Golf GTI is an absolutely incredible $30K car, but that does not make it luxurious.

A Rolls Royce is a luxury car because it is full of extravagance and opulence. There is absolutely no concern with keeping costs down, and there is no expense spared to make the car as comfortable and luxurious as possible. It also fits the economic definition[1] where spending on luxury cars increases with income. The richer you are, the more money you spend on luxury cars. This isn't true of Apple products because it is a mass produced, mass market good. A billionaire can't buy a better iPhone. That's the opposite of what it means to be a luxury, exclusive brand.
