The distinction between "easy to delete" and "easy to replace" is subtle but important. The latter can lead you to write interfaces, proxies and factories. The former, to stateles and pure functions.

Doesn’t justify the legislation, but I believe the streaming has to be intentional, and is directed at companies.
This is a little off-topic, but a little tangential. Why do so many people insist on doing video chats? Regardless of camera quality, you're going to come in as a blocky and stuttery mess to most people anyway.

Audio-only has worked really well for my team for a few years now (my team is all remote all thr time), so it's always jaring when interfacing with the rest of the company and having people pop up with video.
>I just completely don't understand your point. There's no misleading advertising here - the resolution is exactly as promised ,at the size promised....what's the problem?

That would be relevant is my problem was false promises or misleading advertising.

But my problem is not

(a) "Monitors say they are 4K and they are not"

but:

(b) "Most monitors out there are BS-4K, but for the best quality/viewing comfort at their 27" and above diagonal they should rather be 5K, but most manufactures like Dell aren't bothered to produce at such a resolution and the few that do have prices to the skies".

>There are 5K monitors out there, maybe even 8K? Or just get a 4K one but in a smaller size?

Perhaps you've skiped through the thread?

My comment responds to (and agrees with) the sub-thread started by a parent commenter writing:

"Dell used to have good offerings, but all they seem to push now is the same 27” not-quite-4K 3,840 x 2,160 panels everybody else does.".
I think you're 100% correct (minus some weird lab-grade setup or software-base DoF)
I don’t think that’s it.

Apple is the most valuable company on earth right now, entirely due to their thesis that people will pay for quality hardware.

The “creator” market is much more profitable than the gamer market where kids only have as much as mom will allow them to spend (vs The tech workers, coders, designers, youtubers, etc that need high quality displays to make a living).

It’s why Apple is able to get insane 50% margins in many products. It’s crazy to me that the big Asian manufacturers don’t see the market opportunity in catering to this crowd.

In their minds you’re either an office drone using excel or a gamer who wants neon lights. Both of which are market segments with terrible margins.
Actually, nobody will ever see your face in 4k because none of the platforms that are used for this will ever transmit video at that resolution. Most cap at 1080p with a very heavy compression.

Also understand that real time compression is different from offline compression. To compress well it requires a huge amount of CPU. Real time compression results in higher bandwidth for the same image quality but more typically less quality for the same bandwidth.

Is this related to newer firmware or so? Because I have a gopro and the usb stream quality is only very low, compared to the HD recording facilities of these devices.

You do not talk to your house. Rather than using a dial which reads "off", you say "off".

"Progress" in the sense you mean isn't happening at all.

I have no pretensions about human intelligence; I do not think it is much above a dog's.

The issue is that computer "scientists" (ie., mathematicians") havent even bothered to understand a dog's -- or any animals. Or even intelligence.

The field which will produce any artificial intelligence is biology, not computer science. And very little progress is being made there; with pretty much all theoretical approaches to neuroscience, I think, wholy invalidated.

The computational approach has been a pointless detour/dead-end.

Yes. Consider most people only care about the resolution, sometimes manufacturers substitute a lower cost panel that is inferior in say, gamut or response time.
I hate it. I'm 41. A web dev (laravel / php), but totally burned out, to the point I can't focus on freelancing hardly at all. Depression has been raging in me all year, and I feel bleak about it ending soon.

The only time I come out of my haze is when I work on side projects or think about ways to change the world by creating some sort of dual-power healthcare union co-op that basically is medicare for all without gov't control. However, having been 3 months since my last client, I'm struggling to put food on the table, let alone work on social good projects.

if I had 400k, I'd invest that so I could live off dividends, then work with other left-leaning programmers to figure out ways to build non-statist programs for UBI and Healthcare.

I had to crowdfund this month's rent and Christmas presents for my two children (under 4). So, financial strain is kind of sucking the life out of me too...

i definitely have empathy, in that i've had good months, years, and bad ones. So, I've been at both ends of spectrum, though never earned > 100k before, i've lived comfortable enough for me. I also want to devote the remainder of my life to helping others, and finally start my non-profit/union/co-op endeavor to build a true sharing economy. Where workers and consumers own the companies they work at and buy goods from, and execs do not get compensated above a decent multiplier of the average worker salary. (Voted on by said workers).

Money recovery to the degree possible? That's up to the investors and the courts. That's not the SEC's job. The SEC does attempt, with only a degree of success, from fraudulent investment schemes from being offered in the first place. (And, to the annoyance of many here, prevents low asset investors from investing in less regulated/more speculative types of investments.)
"Today, many residents rent semi-permanent space for such homes from land owners, creating an unfortunate side effect: an incomplete form of ownership."

That applies to apartment rentals too. But if you can't afford to buy or to get a mortgage it's a feature, and not a trivial one. I lived in a trailer park for many years, and the savings over an apartment made a large difference in my lifestyle and cost of living, which helped me eventually become a home-and-land owner. If someone had "helped" me by preventing this unfortunate side effect of incomplete ownership, it would not have been helpful. My ownership of the trailer but not the land was much better than owning none of it.

Today, I am happy to share the vue-notion library with you – it is now possible to use Notion as a CMS for Vue (e.g. a statically generated Nuxt blog).

Here is an example Notion page rendered in Vue: https://vue-notion.now.sh/basic-example

As Notion fans we always wanted to be able to use Notion as a CMS for Nuxt. React has had this for a bit. So, we decided to port the react-notion project to Vue and are introducing the same functionality to Vue!

I hope there are some Vue & Notion fans here, we would love to get some feedback on this new package!

Let us know what you think – Have a great day everybody!

That makes sense and sounds pretty interesting. How “exciting” is this field in terms of innovation currently? Is it mostly about getting high level access to exchanges to speed up trading (which presumably requires paying your way in), or is it more about finding novel signals and ways to use them?
You are so right here. Clearly you worked with enterprise distributed systems and learned the industry body of knowledge for that - things like configuration driven binding 'services' to 'host processes', distributed transactions or compensation, auth propogation, and advanced tooling for distributed development enabled by strong typing.

Alas most developers weren't aware of all these things that SOAP delivered.

.

Programming's Eternal September of the twenty first century has thrown the baby out with the bathwater - those unwashed masses didn't understand why SOAP was a wee bit complex, the very good reasons!

They RESTed instead of scrubbing up on their studying. They twittered and twattered instead of studying. In their multitudes they cast a POX of JSON on our world!

They weren't the strong silent type to refactor, to compensate and rollback their mistakes .. and that is why they renamed SOA to micro services .. to make the huge mess sound smaller than it really is ..

Trans folks in the LGBT movement were an inextricable part of the movement since day 1. Partly because distinctions at the time between gay men who did drag and trans women did not exist, but also partly because the overarching theme of the movement (and the hate it received) has been the sense of 'disgust' by mainstream society of its subversion of heteronormative values.

Many trans men and women lead the movement vocally when many gay men and women who could survive in the closet sat and waited.

But that's the thing, the good faith discussion happened so many times, and it has been litigated many times. For many of us, trans and non-binary folks gave us many of our rights, and they did not out of a sense of solidarity, but literally because they were fighting for the same thing (really, a revolution against gender norms and expectations).

As the gp said, however, this good faith conversation happens a few times (and has been litigated to death over and over, and continues to). But the domination in the "drop the T" movement is really dehumanizing language about trans people, accusing them of an agenda, brainwashing children, etc. It's really harmful, and it is things that gay, lesbian, and bi folks have been accused of already.

> A lot of what makes a picture great comes from lighting the scene in a correct way.

IDK why the author thinks a "good" webcam should be able to do 4k, just to show one's face??

But yes, lightning is paramount.

I installed custom lightning in front of my desk and with a cheap Logitech webcam I get very good image quality.

Basic photographic lightning kits are cheap; I paid $80 7 years ago for 2 x (stand+light+bulb+umbrella) and it's still working perfectly.

Ok, we get it, microplastics are everywhere and have been for most of our lifetimes.

Can someone explain why this is a bad thing or even IF it is a bad thing?

As far as I can tell, humans have been dying from the same illnesses for the past 100-200-300 years, except we're living longer than ever and dying more from lifestyle illnesses now.

Are we just assuming that eating microplastics is bad? Why not assume it's good? I mean, I haven't seen any evidence for either outcome and the stress and worry about eating them is probably worse for our health than the microplastics themselves.

Edit: I'm not sure why downvoting this comment helps. I'm not saying microplastics are good or bad for human health, just that we get scary articles all the time telling us how they are everywhere, but no one saying anything yet about their harm (or harmlessness).
Reddit is literally unusable on mobile.
When this pandemic fuss was at the beginning in January, I've decided to buy a webcam just in case I got sick and have to work from home. It was Logitech C310 HD[0] for like $40 including delivery. When we became full WFH in april, people in working chats started asking me what kind of that super nice camera do I have.

Our company is issuing MacBooks for workers. Turned out that internal webcam of MacBook is so crappy that even cheap 720p Logitech looks "HD" compared to it. Logi also has quite nice mic.

Another thing was that I made my workplace in the erker, facing windows, so I got plenty of light in the summer. I noticed that I got the best picture in the morning and on the sunset, when light is abundant.

So, the takeout is: get yourself not a great but just a decent webcam, figure out the lighting. And for god's sake, do not buy this clown looking mic to hang in front of you, you don't need it at all.

Theoretically the same can be said for all homes as property tax in effect means the state owns your land and by default your home. Michigan recently had a spate of bad news events where tax commissioners were confiscating and selling homes for even small amounts. Worse the homeowner, if receiving any funds at all from the sale would see a paltry amount.

I look at it this way, how long do I keep my home if I stop paying the nearly four thousand a year property tax? I count myself lucky as family friends in up North pay three times that for a postage stamp lot and older home

Exactly, most things are easy when you understand them, so even if it took a long time to "get" them, once you do, you tend to forget with time, how difficult it is.

Buying "pro" entry-level photographic lightning equipment is about the same cost and much simpler to set up.
It is dystopian, though. “Shove all the poor people in tiny boxes, then stack the boxes on top of each other.” That’ll fix ‘em.

Maybe in our plague-ridden new world order the idea of dense urban areas is just flawed. City living is great for the wealthy and indentured servitude for pretty much everyone else.
Everything shaves off particles in varying amounts. The question is whether those particles decay on their own, make their way into our food supplies, and how toxic are they.

I don't know the quantitative answers to any of these. But I would hazard that wood decays fast; and glass and concrete particles are inert, very similar to soil and not very harmful in the amounts they make into our food supplies.

Plastics on the other hand, don't decay, float in water (so easier to spread) and empirically make it into our food supplies. The fear is that they are carcinogenic and cause unwanted hormonal changes.
Yes, indeed, there is no difference between good things and bad things.
Voat and Bitchute are the platforms that convinced me censorship just radicalises people more. I tried to use Voat a number of times after the subreddits and communties I liked online were censored one by one, but each time this happened I noticed Voat got progressively more extremist as it started to become one of the last places that allowed that type of speech on the internet.

While I never felt I needed to use Voat the problem because there are many alternative communities online, I do feel I HAVE to use Bitchute if I want to watch some of my favourite creators because YouTube banned them for reasons I can't quite understand. I'm aware this is now exposing me to a lot more radical content than I would otherwise be exposed to if I was still watching on YouTube.

For example, just yesterday I shared a funny video I found on BitChute to a friend, but he wasn't able to view it because it was deemed potentially illegal in his country. It was a fairly innocent parody video so I didn't really get why it was banned until I took a look at the channel which was full of extreme and racist content.

I'm self-aware enough to know that exposing myself frequently enough to content like this could shift my views and I'm making efforts not to click on related views on Bitchute, but just to watch and support the content I used to enjoy on YouTube but it's obvious to me how many people can become radicalised by communities that consist solely of radicals that have been banned from the more mainstream platforms.

Here's the video btw, https://www.bitchute.com/video/AlSYTmkVfUFw/ I love Bill Gates and don't agree with all the conspiracies surrounding him but I did find this parody kinda funny. I'm a big South Parks fan though, and it reminds me a lot of that.

If you are suggesting that we should be manually entering passwords into sites as copied/observed from our password managers, that removes the anti-phishing benefits of password managers altogether by giving primary control back to the human.
