The twenty minute thing is because of device classification.

If a device records twenty minutes or more of continuous video, it is classified as a video device, which changes the regulatory structure.

If you watch movies, these days, it's almost unheard of for a single shot to be more than a minute or two in length. Even films like 1917 are really digitally-stitched montages.

I think the real reason is that Canon is ferociously dedicated to video, and they market that aggressively. It's a very different market from still images.
It's kind of scary, especially when you've invested some sum of money in lenses for their cameras.
We moved manufacturing out of the west because wow, other countries could do it so cheaply. It never occurred to us to ask how they would achieve that. (Or perhaps some of us already knew).

What good is ending slavery here if we're still receiving the benefits of effective slavery taking place there? Did we win some moral victory by not doing it within sight of our citizens?

Companies that manufacture elsewhere but sell here should need to prove that the people who made their products did so ethically. Clearly, we can't take that for granted.
Android is fragmented (though that is changing slowly), which means it's much harder to port and validate a single exploit chain to work on many Android phones.
On a personal note, it’s hard to determine what measure of my success was my own doing, but looking back over my life I can see so many things that I had absolutely no control over that led to where I am today. What that inspires in me is gratitude and humility, and makes me much less judgmental when I hear others stories of their success and failure.
Well, I don't really use docker for my own stuff so installing it to simply use a third party application seems harder than simply installing the software required.

I am not questioning your choice of language. It's all fine and dandy I am just questioning myself and if I have enough willpower to actually host it myself. :)

> Will the vaccines basically be voided by this?

It has been around since September - if vaccines were voided it would have shown up in trials. It seems the human immune system is pretty smart and manufactures many different antibodies against many different sites on the spike protein. So even if some parts of the spike protein mutate, you still have antibodies that will do the job.

- Is it less lethal? Could it create more general immunity in communities without killing?

It might be - it carries one mutation (a deletion) on a part of the genome that helps it evade the host immune system - but more data is needed. If it was less lethal that is a mechanism that can help it spread - people are asymptomatic for longer, or feel better so are out and about instead of in their bed. But although I have seen rumours on this there's nothing definite and no data.

- Has is spread yet? I've read the UK gov knew about this in october...

It has been detected in Denmark as well. The UK - especially obviously London where it is prevalent - is highly globally connected. This variant will be everywhere in the world now in small amounts and if it does spread better it is just a matter of time. The UK does a LOT of genome sequencing compares to most countries so it is well equipped to detect the emergence of new strains and their spread.

I seem to remember that they eventually fixed the problem with slow startup for applets but it was long after people had stopped using them.

Let’s not forget that when applets were a thing Java was a proprietary, although liberally licensed, from Sun Microsystems and the only JVM available was though them. I don’t even know what the status of it is to this day even though there are far more options than there were then.

I didn’t touch Java for years because it was risky to invest time and energy into a language were the owner, Sun and now Oracle, could just yank it or start charging for the JDK at any time. It only became safe when it was successful enough that it became unlikely that thy would do something like that and there started to be viable alternatives. It’s easy to forget that Java had a huge cloud over its head foe many years.
You're looking at it from a very individualist perspective. In reality, genes don't belong to the individual, or a tribe or species for that matter. Genes belong to the ecosystem i.e. genes favor behavior which is good for the fitness of the ecosystem, even at the expense of the individual itself or other lower level organisms or super-organisms.

It will be clear if you look at it from a different perspective. White blood cells kill bodies own cells all the time. If you think the reason might be to protect the larger organism, it makes more sense. But there's more.

Think of the "freeze" response that, say, deer have when they get caught by a leopard. It would be best for the deer (and its family i.e. those with similar genes) if it didn't have a freeze response. It would be much better for them if they had a "fight till death" response. That way, every time a leopard caught a deer, it would get most likely get injured and leopards would be able to hunt fewer deer.

The deer has a freeze response because it has nothing to do with what's good for the deer and everything to do with what is good for the ecosystem. It's best if it outruns the leopard... but if it gets caught, it's best if it freezes while the leopard kills it.

P.S. The mainstream explanation of the freeze response is that "it helps the deer deal with the pain". However, they fail to explain what the evolutionary benefit to not feeling pain as one is being eaten is.
It is sad that Indian state is not able to monopolies violence. For too many violent protests, incidents are not good for the country.
I think the main reason those exist in Japan is the special tax category for small vehicles: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_size_class#Japan In Germany such legislation would probably be opposed by the local automotive industry, who would be behind overseas competitors in this space.
Zoom with Support for Apple Silicon Set to Launch Today
I can't think of a system that would be using anything I write that wouldn't have bash, honestly. Not in... 25 years or so.

"portability" I guess is a goal, to a degree, for me too since I write in bash instead of zsh which I use interactively, but /bin/sh scripts for "portability" is just a fetish, IMO.
Note GP asked about revenue sharing, whereas you discuss profit sharing. That's not the same thing.

Salespeople and sales partners are often compensated with a sales based commission, which is a revenue sharing scheme. It's common and expected, and practiced everywhere there's deal flow.

Technical people can rarely prove "ownership" of revenue, so they can't leverage that in negotiation and are left with "general" ownership through options or RSUs or whatever. There's nothing inherent or natural (or unnatural) about it. If money flows through you, you can usually demand to keep some of it. If it doesn't, you usually can't.

Yes variants occur all the time but they don't tend to become dominant. This variant went from 30% of all infections in November to 60% three weeks later. In order for a given variant to supplant all the others and become dominant it must have some characteristics that make it more transmissible. That is why they are particularly worried about this variant.
Also, the UK seems to do way more sequencing of the virus than any other country, so one would expect such cherry picking to actually happen in the UK.
I can imagine, I also just switched from a Canon DSLR to a mirrorless Fujifilm. Even apart from smartphones, purely in the photography space, mirrorless cameras are becoming more popular (and I'm not aware of a significant offering by Nikon in that area).

> It isn't like computer graphics, geophysics, CAD or data compression are particularly hard spaces to work on for a software engineer.

As a software eng. in those spaces, you're required to grasp heavy math (quaternions, Lie Algebras, you name it), find suitable numerical algorithms and implement them them bug-free in a hard-to-work-with low-level language such as C++ (because performance matters). Writing correct code is tough for multiple reasons, for example these numerical algos are not perfect and the glitches you see may be an algorithmic problem and nothing wrong with your implementation. Compare this with the usual backend and web dev, where you're usually writing trivial endpoints which just move data from one system to another. Of course, there are some ambitious roles in the FAANGs (the algos behind distributed databases don't figure out themselves), but they come into the picture later, once the startup is already scaling up.
I wonder if we’d really see something like this on the iOS Facebook app. I’d guess that would make a lot of people way more hesitant to use Facebook: https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1339174301564604418?s=2...
In what world do we want employee to have stock options ?

I mean, for me this is where the problem is, there is no reason to promise a lot of equity to an employee. Pay them well. Now any (private growing) company is well funded, you can afford market salaries.
What I am really missing is some kind of real-time AI. A decade ago, I have coded some bot for an ego-shooter with RTS elements and have learnt so much from it (while having a lot of fun).

It starts with basic things like waypoint systems vs. area awareness systems plus the relevant routing algorithms like A*, but goes on to organizing a group of players and finding good strategies. And all of that with a limited time budget and an changing environment around you. Last but not least, you want to emulate human behavior which is probably the hardest part as it includes changing you behavior according to your situation (don't run straight against a wall for 10 seconds) but also taking into account the weaknesses as e.g. humans can't aim perfectly.

Granted, what I have done has a huge field of challenges, but even with a 2D engine I think you can learn a lot from the experience.
They are slow to move and have a hard time to keep up with the world moving on.

That leads to a world of trouble for them:

- mobile phones eating the “good enough”/ “well integrated” spectrum

- Sony eating the “best value”/“modern camera” spectrum

- Fuji eating the “different form factor” spectrum

- Panasonic still hanging on the 3/4 side

They’ll survive, and keep making good camera that pros are waiting for, but it will be rough.
> I really want this kind of thing to work but how can you censor it?
I imagine that a quantum computing device will eventually be similar to a GPU now - plugs in to a CPU, does what it needs to wherever its strength lay, and over the course of time we will find more and more uses for it (or entirely new fields like bitcoin).

I am fairly certain that there are already OS's designed to run entirely on a GPU rig.

Whataboutisming when people are justifiably calling out an Israeli company (shielded by Israeli courts) for continuing to be the reason why human rights activists and journalists are being jailed or murdered, is a very cool and contrarian thing to do.

Why does this shining light of democracy allow/encourage it's companies to perpetuate authoritarianism for their neighbors? Not a very democracy-loving thing to do.
I don't see why this would be Switzerland's fault. Hypergrowth stories from SV are not typical for Europe instead businesses here are grown slowly and rather silently.
That might be a problem if your business model is somewhat shady, but if you want to grow a healthy business it's perfectly fine.

Yes. Only the upper-end cameras were produced in Japan, as well as the top-tier lenses.

Don't worry about it, it was close enough to get your point across.
Lock-free is a bad substitute for having larger task size.
“I took FSFE to court. This is my story”
I think camera bodies make a much larger difference these days than lenses, actually. Obviously the lens still makes a notable difference, and for certain forms, like wildlife photography, the lens requirements are inescapable. The new models out in the past few years have absolutely incredible low-light performance that completely change the lens landscape, even; you can now ditch the requirement of carrying a hefty f/2.8 400mm lens around and swap it out for a lightweight f/4 with a camera that more than compensates for the light loss.

But with the capabilities of modern cameras the production requirements for them are high and the challenge to make something that works for a variety of consumers even higher. I can't even look at a camera that isn't "weather-proofed" as I live in a place with a 90% chance of rain at any moment, for example. And a lot of these advancements are designed to work in combination with the lenses, such as in-body and in-lens stabilisation working together, weather seals that line up, etc. I think it's pretty important to maintain the same manufacturing quality between the two areas. I'm sure that's possible when moving production to Thailand, but I expect it will take time for them to iron out their processes.

My personal experience of Canon vs Nikon is that I prefer the software of Canon, and historically I preferred the physical ergonomics of Nikon, but the newest Canon models have improved a lot there. On the lens side it was always Canon for me, although I do have a lot of love for Sigma: my 150-600mm Sigma lens has a USB dock where I can actually manually configure the autofocus, among other things, which appeals to my gadget side (and honestly their quality has jumped up massively in the past decade).
Must Haves for HealthTech App to Protect User Data
Are you sure about the clasification? From what I heard the main issue is often cooling. Cameras and sensors are often not engineered as video capturing devices, so recording time needs to be limited to prevent overheating. Often you cannot just stop and re-start the recording after the recording limit, because the camera is still too hot, it will stop recording after a few seconds.

At least this is how it works for Fujifilm X-series cameras (which have higher recording limits though and are frequently used as hybrid cameras for video recording jobs).
I think to qualify as "almost" it would have to be at least, say, 0.1 miles.
> It has been around since September - if vaccines were voided it would have shown up in trials.

The variant didn't reach a significant proportion of infections until November. Evaluation of the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine was done in July and August. We don't have data to understand how effective the Pfizer vaccine is against this variant yet.

Are comparisons to slavery missing the point? I understand that companies are always going to go for the lowest bidder, but if the lowest bidder was mistreating it's workers and they know about it then it's socially irresponsible.

Companies like Apple have plausible deniability when it comes to things like this. That's one of the major reasons they outsource rather than building their own factory. Apple is built on vertical integration.
Where in the world is Sony and Canon cameras produced?

I bought a sony android phone (which after a lot of research seems to be produced in Japan) to my father because he refuses to use anything produced in China and I am also very hesitant to buy stuff that is produced in countries that don't generally care about quality, the environment etc. I have thought about buying a Nikon for a long time but this maybe will make me reevaluate that pick.

At this point, there's little trust that RH wouldn't change the terms on a free RHEL offering at some point in the future.
Not really. Thousands of variations have ben sequenced, the notable thing here is the (potentially) faster spread.
Well, it was what was explained to me by a marketing manager.

The cooling thing hasn't been an issue for many years, since they changed their sensor design.

Might also be a power-consumption thing, as the shutter needs to be kept open (I don't think they are using virtual shutters, yet), as well as (for DSLRs) the mirror.

You can use keybindings to achieve similar function, put `G: '| grep'` to your ~/.inputrc and every time you type G, you get '| grep'.

This may break something because it mapped a regular letter, so maybe `Control-g: '| grep'` is better.

Apple paying their contractor's employees? That's not how business works.

I'm on the side of the workers. Their treatment is dogshit. The target should be placed squarely on the taiwanese company however, not Apple. Apple should have a higher standard, but they can only apologise for the actions of their contractor. If they did that it would make no sense business wise
Yeah, adding a little bit of caching (at least as WordPress plugin without dependencies for external entities) is now the DevOps problem that requires the DevOps solution, nice.

Well, I mean, you can front the blog with Cloudflare using their wizard for free without any technical knowledge. What kind of DevOps magic do you need there?
> In some applications the turnaround time either doesn't matter or can be overcome. (i.e. with FDM printing it's pretty trivial to use 2..N print heads to get an increase of 2..N in part production)

Not if you only need one, which is true for the vast majority of prints.
I can understand how it eats into the compact camera market (I wanted to buy a compact camera a year ago, and essentially all models on the market today are from 2005-2010 and usually vastly inferior in quality to a high-end phone). However, while a lot of photographers use something like an iPhone in addition to a regular camera, good cameras are still needed.
The fault lies with decisions taken by Wistron [local] management, but the incentives to ensure similar decisions aren't taken in future depend on decisions taken by Apple.

> Apple is not fundamentally responsible for the labour relations of other companies

It's a funny world where everyday individual customers barely making a living are supposed to unite, educate themselves on the supply chains of everything they see on the market, and vote with their wallets to filter out unethically-produced products, but a single $2 trillion tech corporation ("person"?) who's a customer of another company with all the leverage in the world isn't responsible for caring if it's reaching the $2T market cap ethically.
Apple lectures me on all kinds of things, from climate change to political correctness. Just give me a fucking device and stay out of my politics. They have earned the outrage.
This shit isn't new, and it's not like Apple don't know about it. They will move to a new supplier, do a press release condemning them. Rinse and repeat, see you in a few years when the next thread pops up.
Spectrum diseases like schizophrenia and autism seem ripe for splitting. In particular, I'm holding out hope for improved diagnoses (and treatments) once we learn more about genetics and neuroscience.
How about "almost almost a mile"?
Apple probably audits their suppliers and contractors better than almost all of their peers but they are also culpable here for creating the ingredients for workers to be treated like shit by their pseudo-contractors. This isn't some widget factory that Apple signed on to make iPhones for the near future, it's a factory that only exists in the first place to make Apple iPhones and Apple fronted all the money to build it, etc. But Apple has set it up in a way that artificially distances themselves from what should be Apple employees (or at worst employees of a joint venture where Apple execs could run the HR and avoid these shady labor violations). I'm sure there are many benefits in doing it this way and they are lauded for those every quarter so they are also going to take the lumps as well.
Facial Hair Is Biologically Useless. So Why Do Humans Have It?
I understand the business model of these companies. Really.
I dont blame Apple or Foxconn or whoever that tries to squeeze as much as they can.

But we (as the western civilization) can make deals with most of these countries and set basic standards and minimum wage requirements that is both beneficial to them and to us. I dont want western workers try to compete with cheap labor from India or Vietnam but at the same time I dont want these people be exploited as much as they are now.

They can make a decent wage based on the economy of their country and still be treated like humans.
Yeah I agree, web dev was not yet a solved problem in 1996 and maybe Paul just didn't update his biases since then.

Could it still be that this variant is as infectious as others, but just happens to be the dominant one in the regions where the virus circulates the most, for reasons that have nothing to do with the genetics of the virus?

London and the South East are some of the densest populated areas in the UK, and one could expect exponential growth of infections there while other less populated areas could manage to keep their Rt around or bellow zero. If this strain was more prevalent in these regions, you would also see it taking a larger share of the infections nationwide.

However, the precautionary principle has been the keystone of good handling in the pandemic, so they are right to apply precautionary measures before it's too late. We will learn more about this strain in the next few weeks.
