Research has made a lot of people rich and let average people have luxuries of royalty and royalty have what was unimaginable. The problem is the roi takes awhile and people would rather have their marshmallows now than more later.

It is only social signaling, which is actively discouraged here.

A Suburban is a "full size SUV", which weighs, drives, and has the fuel economy of a truck. Minivans are closer in size, weight, fuel economy, and cost to the car derived "mid size SUVs", but they have much more cargo space. Still, the Odyssey claims roughly the same amount of "maximum interior cargo volume" as the Suburban, and almost twice that of the "most popular SUV", the midsize Ford Explorer. It's highly optimized for providing interior space: where the spare tire should be is a deep tub for cargo or to hold the folded down rear seats. The actual spare tire is located in the second row footwell, though you could never tell.

I just turned 43 and Eleven Table Tennis and also the bowling game on Oculus Quest are my main avenues for exercise.

And I also have more video games than I could ever play but I have spent quite a lot more time in VR table tennis. It's very realistic and fun. And a lot easier to figure out than most of the games now which seemed to be designed to be as intricate as possible.

I have two daughters (4, 12). Here is how I do, copied verbatim from a previous discussion on HN[1]

I don't have strict rules, methods, or patterns. However, I follow common themes such as skimming (or speed-reading) boring/mundane sections, change books and come back later, read multiple books at a time.

Personally, I feel something missing if I totally skip something, so I tend to or try to finish what I read. I was known to be that kid who read Newspapers top to bottom of all pages, so that is that.

My tricks;

- Don't drive, get an Uber and read. I have finished so many books inside an Uber car. I'm in India and is cheap to get a private driver, the monthly cost pays off with the amount of things you can do in the back of your car, reading books is one.

- If I'm flying, I finish about 2 typical books per leg of the flight.

- Always have your Kindle or a Book with you. Read instead of looking at your phone. ;-)

- If you have kids, read (physical books) to show them that you read, they will follow.

The situation here is that the service was so borked that it didn't know what it didn't know.

Hard-failing good addresses is a much worse bad than soft-failing bad addresses. In the latter case, remote sender tries again later and eventually gets a hard bounce. In the former, good addresses are permanently dropped from numerous services, and sent mail is lost rather than retried.

Critical failures should soft bounce until positively determined otherwise.
For running Silk Road perhaps, but I never fully understood the whole "hired hits" part of this case. Did Ulbrecht actually think he was hiring hitmen to commit murder? Was it just bravado? Because I can't understand supporting Ulbrecht's clemency if he really thought he was hiring assassins to kill 5 people.

Edit: To be clear, because I've already got what feel like knee jerk downvotes, I honestly don't understand the hitman charges in the case and would like if someone has any more info. I mean, the chat logs looked pretty damning, but then all of those charges seem to have been thrown out, so I'd like to understand the reason for that. Were the chat logs forged in some way? Was it a technicality? Did the Feds just not care because they had enough in the drug charges?
Nothing particularly wrong with them, they just (completely) fail the 8 year old, $6,000 bar set by the poster I replied to. Looking, I see 2006 Camry's with 100,000+ miles pricing out at $6,000.

He isn't really just blaming the workers for this, he's blaming an ideological component of our everyday lives that have been engraved in the minds of both workers and capitalists. In his book Graeber goes onto length on how this dialetic of "compensatory consumerism" has been established throughout society, going all the way back to the Protestant work ethic, the labor theory of value, and then the scientific management of Taylorism. He doesn't just critique the phenomenon of bullshit jobs as simply "blame capitalism" or "blame the workers", it's far more subtle than that, and I would recommend reading the full book if you are curious about it.

I run pi-hole with recursive dns so I was able to see what domains any app contacts and then I am able to lock it down on my local network no problem.

On my devices (iPhone / iPad) I also use Lockdown app which allows you to blacklist IP addresses and domain so once I can see what an app is up to using pi-hole, I manually add those domains to Lockdown so that even when I am out of the house the trackers are blocked.

> The difference is in natural languages you can make tons of errors and be extremely fuzzy and it won't harm the interpretation.

> Natural languages are so full of ambiguity that even native speakers from similar regions often confuse one another.

These two statements are contradictory. There's a difference between not caring that an error is present and being robust to error. Natural language represents the former. Yes I might not shout "Error: finger shoes not recognized" but that error nevertheless occurred, I don't actually know what they meant. I'm going to assume gloves, but if their life depended on me getting them mittens they'ed probably wish I had said I don't understand. Luckily, we live in a world where getting things wrong is typically harmless, but history is full of disastrous misunderstandings. If you are doing something important like drawing up a legal contract, your lawyer should have no problem telling you "that wording is unacceptable." which is conceptually no different from a compiler's syntax error.

Natural language and programming languages are different in many ways in terms of degree. Natural languages need to be used in vastly more circumstances, they have been in use for vastly longer, and they generally represent an ad hoc development cycle involving millions of independent contributors. They thus have much more deprecated functionality and conflicting user conventions. But while different in degree, the two aren't really different in kind - every fundamental trait of one is shared by the other, which is why the fuzzy compiler for natural language will accept the terms for a programming language as a substitute without raising any error.

I bought an Intel 6000-series NVMe, on the strength of their previous good reputation, that utterly failed two years later. I was told that was not surprising, it was a bad product, they all failed.

With Intel product quality getting slipshod, and the company under such pressure, is there any good reason to trust these new items? How can Intel demonstrate that they will be more reliable than my NVMe device was?
Can someone explain why it’s not exceedingly simple to clone the existing Centos concept? Isn’t all the code that does the builds, artwork replacement, etc all open source?

I would think that rebranding CentOS as Rocky is a rather trivial process of replatforming all the codebase and replacing any “Centos” with “Rocky”.
That’s why I said “close to”.

I work in a group that has about 30-50 students, 2-3 professors, 3 scientists, 2 postdocs, and 5 techs/engineers (depending on how you draw the lines). Professors make $200k. Scientists make $80k. Techs make $60k. Every single person is highly competent and could easily fetch a higher wage for their skillset. Nobody’s here because they think it’s a path to a cushy life. Working among exclusively smart people, having good conversations, not being in a nasty corporate framework, and doing work with purpose are all top reasons to stay in academia. The list of reasons not to is long (and easy to come by).

No, the resolution and refresh rates were increased but the field of vision was actually REDUCED from the already narrow oculus quest which had a fov of about 90 degrees. Think about that for a minute, the normal fov for a human is about 200 degrees.

It's like looking out of a damn periscope on a submarine, which is the first VR experience I would develop for the oculus quest.
> everyone (including him) gets a nice payday and can move on to some other area?

This is what bugs me the most about the corporate landscape.

You can be incompetent & cause huge damage to a business, but if your a c-level, your usually given the option of leaving quietly, with a nice payout and then continuing your career like nothing ever happened.

Just wait 6-12 months and you'll see this CEO pop up at another company, and on their website in his bio it will read something like "Implemented and executed a revolutionary vertical & dynamic cyber and security strategy at SolarWinds saving the business $xxx"

As I say, it's been a few years, but if I recall, it just generally didn't feel like a Mac application. It worked alright and was basically calling the same tools under-the-hood as Xcode does.

I have researched it and it used to be 100-200k range. It's also possible they don't sell them anymore. Depends on the stage, camera and enclosure. Might have changed though. However you can build your own decent non confocal microscope for that price range with individual parts.

You can rent time if you just need it for a bit here and there, or if the economics make sense that way for sure. But then, I'm saying I can also buy or build my own and still do it with just regular tech salaries on the side!

Further, does anyone else find it odd that most of the states leading this antitrust suit are all Republican-led?

The claims in this suit are damning and non-partisan.

Had Big Tech not angered conservatives, they probably would've continued looking the other way. And the Democratic states/politicians are still looking the other way about this issue. (Don't forget that most of these companies support Democrat politicians.)

Seems we may only get justice because Big Tech angered the wrong people at the wrong time, not because their actions finally reached a threshold of wrongdoing.

It is an office design website I started for fun in 2007 to highlight the offices of interesting companies. At that time it was quite common to start a blog with a single and very niche focus. Over time it has grown into (probably) the largest office design site online and it a household name in that industry.

Oh; it's all client-only (GUI) right now. So I've only been using Dart in this app (stack), if I need to add server components (which eventually I likely will) I'll write those in Elixir and/or Rust (i.e. languages I already know).

Nothing against the idea of server-side Dart, I just don't see a reason to bother with it. I've never really been sold on the idea of using the "same language" for both frontend and backend. I (try to) prefer the right tool for the job; which for my requirements, this time, is mostly how I ended up with Dart and Flutter... and I've been pleasantly surprised. It is the first cross-platform desktop language & sdk pairing I've used that I, personally, don't totally hate. Every other time, I've just said "fuck this" and gone and implemented it whatever the native SDKs were.
