I am going tangential a little bit from what the original post here, but I think the answer is you can.

GoPro Hero Action Cams can be used as a good webcam[1], for instances.

They are definitely NOT cheap though - running $250 - $500 new depending on the models and about $100+ for used models on flea bay.

The latest GoPro models like Hero8 Black or Hero9 Black that doesn't have HDMI output ports but instead having USB-C output ports actually make it easier to connect to computer as a premium webcam because not only those new models don't require a HDMI video capture device to convert signals but also the USB connection is slow charging the GoPro battery! All you need to get it to work is the GoPro camera with latest firmware, the bundled USB-C to USB-A cable and a desktop app (for macOS the app is about 10MB and super easy to use.) Let me tell you the video quality so much better! (1080p instead of 720p on MacBook Pro and the camera sensor is obviously different too).

Well, this was obviously thrown, and on multiple occasions. I will agree that trucks get used as trash bins too much by strangers, and sometimes debris flies out. But that wasn't my experience on these occasions.

The pollution in Delhi is like nothing I have seen anywhere else on Earth. Honestly, during my business trip there I couldn't wait to leave because feeling like the air is actively trying to kill you, all the time, is a horrible feeling.
Why would they do that? Then they couldn't hide all the pork in there and then feign ignorance when it's eventually uncovered.

Why people assume politicians work for them and not their own self-interests always amazes me. This isn't a democrat or republican problem - it's a political machine problem and in this respect there is zero difference between the "two parties".

> Ignoring all the other social/anticompetitive issues there is with Facebook proposing this, it stinks like a scam to get a tax writeoff or jump onto the same sort of FCC rural internet grant money Starlink is bilking taxpayers out of.

Facebook doesn't build and operate this kind of network. This project (and others such as efforts in middle mile fiber construction and funding cable consortiums) are largely intended to help regional carriers outside of the US past hurdles around capacity and density that limit their growth. Since it's not targeted at the US, the FCC's grants, spectrum allocation, and power limits are not relevant.

Cui bono?

Facebook's learned that just getting people connected to the internet in a content-agnostic way is sufficient for growth. This is why FB funds consortium fiber around and across Africa, funds internet exchanges, and makes free network planning tools available to carriers.

In the Czech Republic, most fines (for traffic offenses but also pretty much anything else) are defined by range, with the span 2x to 10x.
Here we actually do have modular parts for cars (at least common consumables, like headlamp bulbs, are normed into a range of a handful of types which are then stocked in all service stations) Schrader valves also mean that stations only have one type of air filler (which here is also always the same: a small bottle with a tyre pressure gauge which can be carried between the refill station on the wall and your car wherever it may be)

As for ways to turn sour, I'm afraid you're underestimating humans. We can't have nice things. (Ok, we can, we at least get some nice things with something like the square root of time... but we can't have all the nice things we could have had if we weren't so prone to defection)
You can file a complaint here https://oag.ca.gov/ this is not like filling a lawsuit but often gets good results. The AG is like the lawyer for the state. Considering baremetrics is based in san francisco, you might get some interest.

Likewise you could file a complaint with Stripe.

What we have here is inexperienced people in a startup acting stupid, but a little suggestion from the attorney generals office or their payment processor usually gets some really good attention.
Excellent! Lots of good tips.

The `with` syntax is new to me, but it looks useful for dealing with lots of subfields. Its also a good point that while Nim looks like Python, it very much isn't.

Nim is overall much better designed from a computer science perspective with saner scoping rules, etc, IMHO. That means that while Nim as a language is relatively complex, overall its easier to work with than C++ or even Python which have lots of special cases.

Interesting opinion: Fixed fines are inherently unfair to the poor. But prison sentences are inherently unfair to the rich. After all, if you already live in a crowded slum much like a prison cell, and your life is prison-level boring and oppressive already, then going to prison barely costs you anything. But if you live in a mansion and spend all day indulging in the finest luxuries on offer, going to prison is a massive decrease in your quality of life.

The reasons we did a better job(from our own perspective) than RocksDB are:
1. We moved lots of code out side db_mutex (db mutex is convenient but costs too much)
2. We introduced a new KV separation implementation that we believe is better than RocksDB’s implementation (we didn't hear any production user are using RocksDB's KV separation yet)
3. We introduced a lazy compaction strategy that can delay compaction task while online services are dealing with short-time heavy writing.
4. Other optimizations like time histogram based TTL, pipelined WAL sync.
Mikrotik consumer routers are quite decent. A hAP² handles my apartment just fine.
And also the intention?

Big companies like Comcast are just doing this to extract every penny.

A startup trying to survive and make their product better for customers--or fix something that went wrong--is completely different situation IMO.
Reason I asked this question on HN is to see what people think. But I predict that BitCoin will never reach even $1,000,000 million per BitCoin. I think much less! Maximum it might ever get is 100K per BitCoin and that pushing it. I honestly think that there will be a huge crash for BitCoins one day!

I had a gym that you could not cancel over the phone but required letter (preferably certified) to their main office to cancel.
I think it is more a supply and demand issue. There are less people that can buy shares pre-IPO. If the IPO was accessible to everyone the price would be the market price.
In response to people questioning Cellebrite's claims, the creator of Signal - Moxie Marlinspike - dismissed the idea that the app had been compromised.

"This was an article about 'advanced techniques' Cellebrite used to decode a Signal message on an unlocked Android device," he tweeted.

"They could have also just opened the app to look at the messages.

"The whole article read like amateur hour, which is I assume why they removed it."

Grid is nice but overused in my opinion. However, at the end of the day whatever gets the job done and is sane is a valid solution in my eyes but I prefer to think of grid as anything requiring centering on two-axis and/or macroscopic to the task at hand.

So for instance I would do the responsive page layout in grid, probably. Then I would do positioning the elements within a article or section with flexbox.
I believe this approach came from NOA (the USA branch) and specifically the Anti-Piracy team led by Jodi Daugherty. It seems things shifted to a different organization after that, and she is now retired.
Yeah I agree. So are you saying the problem is with "call to cancel" itself or with the response the OP got from customer service rep when he emailed them?
Only to anyone over 70.

Anyone who would take offense at that is going to find something to be offended by in anything ediger than Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.
I'm pretty sure most Linux desktop environments these days have decent support for UI scaling. Last time I tried it worked well if your dpi was close to an integer multiple of 96. And if external boot works well with the M1 Macs, a thunderbolt enclosure with an m.2 drive would be pretty darn fast.
It looks as if some of the money goes toward Arte, as well. From what I've seen of the content, that seems like a pretty good use of the funds...
>I’m not proposing that some purchases should be illegitimate

>(sales) techniques available for cheap nowadays should be regulated

If I am reading you correctly, you're saying that some sales techniques are illegitimate?

Aside from outright coercion, marketing is not violence. Comparing it to a 'drone strike' sounds like hyperbole. Fraud and violence should be regulated. Segmenting an audience and targeting them with products is neither of those.

I have trouble with, "there ought to be a law!". We have so many laws already. Regulations increase each year. The Internet has been a free and open place. It created so much growth because it was a new, largely unregulated frontier.

We've observed regulatory capture in other industries. More laws will do little to protect consumers. Gov has almost no incentive to punish those who are collecting data for them. History shows that the big players will gain an advantage, while smaller publishers won't be able to afford the compliance costs. More platforms and walled gardens will follow.

If regulation were a panacea, the developed western world would be a utopia. Perhaps individuals would be better served by educating themselves and thinking critically about advertisements, propaganda and the media they consume.

tl;dr - you don't "have to register" them, because by definition the ones that are legal are already registered. In '86 they stopped allowing new registrations for automatic weapons, but existing registered weapons were grandfathered in. US gun law considers the lower receiver to bear the "identity" of the weapon, so some pretty extensive modification can occur while it technically stays "the same gun" in a Ship of Theseus fashion.
It definitely never hurts to ask. I recently, very absent mindedly, parked in a disabled parking spot and got a $250 fine. Wrote in with my sob story and that I truly do care about this kind of thing, was only there for ten minutes during which time several of the adjacent spots were open, and of course I’m willing to pay the fine as those are the rules... they forgive the whole amount.

Not something I’d abuse, but second chances can be had.

We already do have such a tax: inflation. The fed increases the monetary supply and uses it to buy treasuries which help fund the government.

The problem is the rich have lots of options so you need to consider second order effects. If you print lots of money (as we are now), people and especially the rich tend to exchange their dollars for assets, such as stocks, art, etc. If you attempt to tax those assets as well, people will purchase other untaxed assets.

I'm also not sure it actually matters as much as people think. It's not like Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, or Musk are using their funds to compete with the average person, IE buy up all the beef. Them having less really won't make us more efficient at producing food or increase the amount of housing available in cities.
> Lately there has been a resurgence, especially in the political right, of the cities are dangerous mantra. It seems pretty odd to me.

Urban violence (such as in Chicago and Minneapolis) might have something to do with it.

Well I would argue a part of the controversial issue is that not everybody who is forced to pay likes the quality as much as you do. ;-)

High-quality privately-run television like an HBO, a Netflix or even a hey-day NBC never emerged in German broadcasting. In part because well-funded public broadcasting would immediatly outcompete private broadcasters in verticals that are "acceptable" for a public broadcaster to engage in. Thus the incentive to "go low" in quality for private broadcasters.

Starlink is not meant for densly populated areas where 'urban canyons' as you called them would be found. The bandwidth of the simultaneously reachable satellites is basically constant everywhere, except at higher latitudes where satellites on different orbital planes get closer to each. So distributed users are preferred to lots of users in a single place, since the latter would have to share the bandwidth while the same number of distributed users would access via different satellites instead and would see an increased total bandwidth available.

Look at the graph on "population and satellite density per degree" in [0] to see why SpaceX has most likely chosen the inclination that they use.

"Signal keeps its database encrypted using SqlScipher, so reading it requires a key. We found that acquiring the key requires reading a value from the shared preferences file and decrypting it using a key called “AndroidSecretKey”, which is saved by an android feature called “Keystore”.

Once the decrypted key is obtained, we needed to know how to decrypt the database. "

TLDR: which is saved by an android feature called “Keystore”, Android Keystore compromised ?

I’ve dealt with companies where the “cancel” option really just meant contacting support.

If I need to do anything more than sending the message (on my own schedule - this part is important, I manage my personal life on nights and weekends) saying “hi, I’d like to cancel please” in order to actually have service cancelled and billing stopped, I’m likely to be frustrated and not give any feedback.

I’ve had very positive experiences with reps replying to confirm my service was cancelled, and then initiating a quick conversation about why I asked for that. I’m usually happy to offer at least some quick feedback, because I didn’t feel like I was being held hostage.

I’d still prefer virtually any other no-contact mechanism for ending an agreement for consumer services, though. Offer me winbacks if you want, add an optional exit interview to the process. But really, please don’t gate my ability to end an agreement I’m theoretically able to cancel at any time behind a manual process that’s any more difficult than my signup was. The intent is different but the end result is the same for the customer.
Hasty generalization fallacy right here.

> The children of the wealthy benefit from connections obtained while their parents are still alive. They receive a head start from birth.

what about the children of parents who has good genes? If a child is athletic/healthy/good-looking, because their parents had good genes (and the good luck for a good combination), do you also resent that the child has a head-start?

parents helping the children get ahead is natural, and should be encouraged imho.

For reference: a few years ago I lived in an apartment where I counted at least 35 different 2.4 GHz networks. This wasn't even a high-rise but in a street with normal 3 story apartment buildings. Wifi only worked on channel 13 reliably because many access points don't include channel 13 in their "random channel" configuration because it's only available in Europe.
This is true. Symbian was very versatile. I worked at Playsoft - then, at 2007 it was company dedicated to porting games. We had big safe cabinet full of phones from all of the European countries. It was more then thousand of them. Some had TV built in, some had chatting apps, push to talk apps, beautifully animated built in games, calendars, internet browsers, Bluetooth sharing content apps, etc, etc. These weren't Android phones, all of them were Symbian with Java ME.

That's not the point at all. The point is that starting a company was not a risk for these men, because they would be just fine if they failed.

And I think you're way off with that hundreds of millions number. I doubt there are that many people that can fully support their adult children, including footing the bill for all startup costs.

In that case, you can use: `git config -global pull.rebase true`

After that, `git pull` will automatically attempt to rebase your local commits on top of new commits pulled from a remote, so you don’t even have to do it manually.

(I still do it manually, though, because I’m a little bit paranoid about my version control and prefer to do my merges/rebases explicitly, with a lot of extra testing and inspection. Though obviously that won’t work for everyone in every codebase!)
> Meh. I've think Option is just null with extra steps.

Yeah, but those extra steps are worth it. I've written a fair bit of typescript and javascript, and I feel like I need to be always careful about nullable values in javascript. Like, I agree that Option is null with extra steps - but those extra steps make it harder for bugs to creep into my code.

In JS its all too easy to accidentally write getNullableVal().doStuff(). Or doStuffWith(nullableVal) and inside the function accidentally forget that the value can be null. In typescript the compiler forces me to consider the nullable case for nullable values, and as a result my code ends up better. And when I pass a nullable value into a method, its clear from the type signature whats going on. I still make bad assumptions sometimes and unwrap when I shouldn't, but when crashes happen they happen closer to the bug in the code.

My favorite syntax for all this is Swift, which understands nullable types at a language level. (Rather than at the type level in rust / haskell). It means the language can coerce X -> Just(X), so making function arguments nullable doesn't break callers. And let myVal: SomeType? / myVal!.foo() syntax seems strictly better than rust's let myVal: Option<SomeType> / myVal.unwrap().foo().
