The issue is that insurance companies don't always pay out as they have incentive to find ways to avoid paying. Then you're on the hook. If I remember, deductibles for example don't fully cover many hospital stays so you get hit with out of pocket costs. Those have a maximum cap but I'm sure there's some caveats if you end up in a hospital that's not in network for example. This is what people talk about when they say they went bankrupt despite having insurance.

edit: For example checking the Maryland ACA page is showing maximum out of pocket costs of $7k/person for most plans and up to $17k/family for some. When you make $24k/year that will wipe out your savings for years.
The headline says it wasn’t just the Fed and stimulus. But then the chart shows that in fact large swaths of it were PPP loans, unemployment benefits and stimulus payments. All in a year where apparently (PPP excepted) total pay for employees almost didn’t go down at all.

What this all suggests to me is that to pay for this we should have taxed high earners and not used debt. I say this because I fear inflating markets (stocks, housing, whatever) will actually wind up harming the middle class if/when the bubble bursts. Better just not to have the bubble in the first place, by taxing the money away on the front end.
I have done a lot of work with high resolution thermal imagers and never seen any images that look like these so I was curious what was going on.

>I also simultaneously shot a black-and-white photo with a regular camera and a wide-angle lens for comparison. I then wrote my own program to color the black-and-white photograph with the actual thermal data, using a false-color scale which you see in the upper-right corner of every image.

Amazing drawings, but these are not actually thermal images.
Worst offenders aren't even those. Some go as far as an 'Information not provided by developer', and the worst of them all - Netflix's 'You just worry about what to watch next.'. Irritates me to no end, I now only update manually and if there's no apparent benefit I just don't. Saved me from seeing some apps' changing icons into something awful, or hostile UX redesigns. It was a shame when Discord, who used to have some of the very best changelogs, turned into this practice.
The Apple XDR 6k is nice but isn't compatible in a PC+Macbook setup as it only has a USB-C input. No ability to connect a PC if you're already using the USB-C for a MacBook.
No, it’s a serious question as topologically they do border each other. So, are they arguing being able to sail from A to B is enough or must they be sailing across freshwater etc. Borders do get drawn across bodies of water all the time, but deciding if France and the UK border each other but Spain and Italy don’t is arbitrary.
Then you go back to HTML with attributes to control style, which is where we were before CSS.

It's good to have a level of separation between style and content. The problem with HTML and CSS is that often times you need to change your HTML to change the style of your application.

This is because HTML+CSS was meant to be for documents. It took ages to evolve into what we have today and it still has a lot of baggage.
Designing apps with it is a hack which became mainstream.

If we want to improve the situation, I think we need a couple of standards to define application content and application style which can be compiled to HTML + CSS (as browsers are probably going to stay around for a bit longer).

Component based libraries (like react) are well placed to do something like this and it would help developers faced with this uneven separation of style, content and markup.
As long as they are completely up front about being a courier, and they are doing something to insure food safety, and they deal with the establishment as any other customer, I am sure some people would use the service.

People did it with TaskRabbit, and one could get more than food done that way.

The resturaunt charges xx.xx

You are paying service yy.yy

For a total of zz.zz

Personally, I won't. Unless I talk with the restuarant, I have no idea about availability, time to prepare, etc...

And frankly, I can get my food. I know what it costs for someone to do that and not be way underpaid, and would rather not see people underpaid.

And let's be honest: they will do everything they can to capture traffic, and will end up handling deals that would have gone to the resturaunt and will then leverage all of that. Hell, I would!

So, no. Not interested. Perfectly happy to support my locals directly.
That is funny, appreciate the anecdote. I have encountered resistance to application of lesser known ideas in daily practice in my life, because even as engineers, sometimes there is the fear that we are veering off into esoteric-land. Especially in a corporate setting, getting the balance between true engineering and the science involved and "go fast and break things" is tough.

I have always felt that the key to being an engineer is to understand that theory is a tool, and what makes it fact is science (wow, cool science! LOL) - testing the theory by putting it into practice and measuring the result/iterating. The fact that Petri nets give you a way to talk about the proof as well as model the problem is part of what makes them interesting to me.

So I guess I'm saying, moving fast while applying science.. and the learning and iterating.. that just makes sense right??? If the result is a working system, even better! Science and being agile are totally compatible!

The burden of proof is on everyone, to say, OK.. I am following this technique because it helped me build a working system. I am standing on the shoulders of giants, and the system has been tested and works... but if you don't think the theory is correct, then please, prove it wrong. Make it better, improve, iterate!

In this case, with a genuine and positive attitude, I kindly turn the computer keyboard around to the other person and ask them if they know a better way, to please explain it and I'm happy to learn and adapt. I'll show my proof if you show me yours, and we can discuss, kind of thing.
Thanks for the article. I'm looking forward to giving this approach a try at work next week.
Do I have the power to subpoena these people? I don’t.

The SEC has been working on Tether’s case for a while, though. Recall what happened to Ripple last month when the SEC reached a conclusion on their activities.
ITAR compliance assurance isn't free and certainly impacts operational costs, but the sensor I have isn't export controlled and still normally costs >$1K when you buy it from FLIR.
“kill your idols” is good advice against this trend you identify.

I can recommend my article on Medium that helped a lot of people in your situation:

https://tomaszs2.medium.com/how-to-learn-programming-from-sc...

Moreover I think the most important thing to learn coding is actually not learn it. Coding is only a tool, and what you really, and only thing you need is enthusiasm for it. With all available contradictory statements people share about how to learn how to code, you can be confused and have a feeling of loosing control over it.

So it is important to regain the control over the process, and gain focus. I have developed card decks can help you gain enthusiasm, control and focus on what you want to do. It were featured lately on main page of Hacker News. You can check them out here:

There are also decks for PHP, Python, C#, and Java.
Because "the markets" meaning the stock markets is the owners and managers of capital, the wealthy adn the powerful. They did well, large Internet conmerce companies were positioned to take advantage of the pandemic. The markets don't care if lots of people lost their jobs or had an atrocious year. It's all about the quarterly profits.

And the stimulus bill was a huge boon to business. Most of it went to business.
This isn't some obscure quotation from a non-cannon trek novella. It is quoted everywhere, from Doctor Who to Men in Black. Preview text from first google result:

ESP32 in deep sleep modes is reasonably battery friendly (all depending on your frame of reference, of course.) 5uA in RTC-only and 10+ uA in RTC+ULP sleep.
I also find it a source of distraction in that the other monitor that I’m not currently working on disperses bright lights out of the corner of my eyes constantly vying for my attention
If you had last practiced software development between 100 and 50 years ago, and spent the last 50 years doing business leadership, I don't think you'd necessarily have as much value in a software development meeting as someone who just finished 20 years of software development. Even more frighteningly, you would likely be very convinced of your knowledge in software development, and would have the gravitas to silence any opposition to your ideas.

Note: just to be clear, since text sometimes misses tone, I'm using a rhetorical 'you', not trying in any way to accuse you personally of the attitude described above!
probably not, it'd be like asking the IRS for information on taxpayers. You won't be able to get your neighbor's AGI over the past four years, but you probably could get some summary or overall statistics on the income of people in your city or state.

GDPR doesn't define IPs as PII, unless you use them as such. If you have a legitimate use for IPs, then you're fine.
There are no numbers or evidence in this article. I need more information before believing this in the slightest.
I would rather have my files be Page.component, Header.component, Details.component, Article.component than have my three files be Page.html, Page.css, Page.js.

What is the benefit of separating code by file type? If your reasoning is to reduce coupling, I think this is false simplification - again, in complex applications with lots of interaction, there is no escaping the coupling of DOM nodes, JS logic, and styles. Any feature changes change is going to need to modify all three. Maybe for a mostly read-only site de-coupling these things makes sense, and you can achieve your goals with something like Bootstrap, where you compose a bunch of reusable CSS classes. But for the majority of work I’ve done over the last 8 years, that decoupling model doesn’t work. It’s an even harder nest of snakes when you multiply 3 screen sizes x 2 input methods x N pages where CSS could be used - again for something simple, it’s fine to just collapse columns on mobile (the typical CSS column-css-6 style) but frequently you want this stuff to be much more responsive to user device and input than decoupled styles allows.
At the same time, can't this make it harder for members of the different teams to become friends with each other -- in a way, they are competitors, not coworkers. And maybe they'd be worried about getting fired if they "lost"? That could cause some of them to start looking for other jobs? Or some could feel bad, get demotivated. And other weird side effects.

What could be ways to avoid such things

It requires that going forward all such companies must register their beneficial owners. Not a matter of retroactive application, most companies have yearly filing requirements anyway.
Yeah he did... maybe they shouldn't have done that.
Does any third-party GPU that Apple uses even support adaptive sync on the Windows side? Because the recent iPads have adaptive sync technology, using a complete Apple stack from GPU hardware to iOS software.

“ At the township level, the lowest level of government surveyed, only 11.3 percent of respondents reported that they were “very satisfied.” “

I'm curious what kind of thermal camera he's using.

I bought a Therm-App Pro 640x480 a while back and it's quite good - and reasonably priced compared to Flir - along with a github repo for different false color palettes. But what's really weird is it seems to not be available anymore. I'm guessing export restrictions or massive demand for thermal cameras during Covid along with supply chain issues. IIRC it is also 25 frames a second, which is unusually high for thermal cameras due to export restrictions.

Edit: Here's a post on creating panoramic images with therm-app. https://www.flickr.com/groups/therm-app-users/discuss/721576...
"I don't believe innate talent exists" - This, in light of 100 years of (mathematized quantitative genetics) and thousands of years of empirical observation, is a profoundly wrong observation. There is variation in, broadly speaking, traits and (almost) all physiological and behavioral traits are heritable. Do you believe that taller parents tend to have taller offspring? I guess the answer is yes; then, it is not any different for other traits that are less-observable, for example control of motor functions.

There is a time, early in life, during which traits are more plastic, for a variety of reasons (for height, nutritional interventions are more likely to be successful early in life than during the teenage years), but you won't make a genetically slow phenotype into a top 1% 100-m specialist.
I have considered this. Landlord (property management company in this case) makes margin on the difference between my rent and their mortgage, but they also assume the risks that come with that (leaky ceiling, structural issues, rework from bad tenants who trashed the place, etc). That’s what I meant by “sticky floor” vs “non-sticky ceiling”.

There’s money in it for sure, but it sounds like more trouble than it’s worth (for me).
That's true, but then you don't get notifications or anything, since it's essentially off.
That's so interesting. It is crazy (and frightening) how quickly we forget. I can't imagine a world without record types.

I was thinking about this the other day. When Djikstra was coming up with his graph algorithm, how the heck did he represent the graph as a data structure??
One place I would look is some, but not all, medical device companies.

Making devices that are helpful and not lethal is motivational and fulfilling for employees, and great PR.

Disclosure: I worked at such a company, and have much respect for the care and capability of almost everyone I knew.
Really amazing photos.
It’s not about being insecure and junior, it’s about being a good manager and putting the right tools in place to help your employees succeed. No one — junior, senior, insecure, or secure — wants their time wasted doing nothing. It’s one thing to go on vacation, but it’s another to not put the proper support system in place for the new employee as to not keep them in the dark. That’s just one of the things that differentiate bad/average managers from the best.

Unfortunately this industry is just too polluted with managers like the one referenced in the blog post who end up contributing to bozo explosion
My experience was locked files or lost shared folders (VM doesn't see them until you say the magic words, aka randomly stop and start services until it works). Both happened so (relatively) frequently that I just lost confidence in the feature until version 16 where read-only folders works fine. (I stopped using it in version 9)
Listening to your customers doesn’t mean “give them what they think they want”.

Customers typically just mention a solution that’s a bit better than what they have, and won’t even mention the root problem they want to solve (they’ll ask for faster ways to fill in paper forms, for example, without questioning the existence of those forms)

Good designers will ask follow-up questions to unearth the problem to be solved, then think about the best (given the state of technology, available budget, political and social constraints) solution. That may be a faster horse, but need not be.
On android you can just use data for voice anyway via eg signalwire.

Most of them were actually SV tech people who were well off. So I think the system was working fine for them.
Very nice. As a very experienced programmer who has now learned more languages than I can remember, I generally look for these kinds of cheatsheets whenever I'm learning a new language, followed by the official documentation. Other than that, I don't personally find tutorials very useful.

The cheatsheets give me a quick intro to syntax conventions, and then the official documentation provides all the detail on specifics. I'm looking to mentally map how different PL constructs common across different languages are expressed in the new language I'm learning.

Along the way, I end up learning one or two new PL concepts. Fewer these days than in the beginning, hence it gets easier and easier to learn new languages.
Oh, blessed are those who never had to deal with the assumption that every shell is bash despite using /bin/sh in shebangs of their scripts, or with the assumption that all core utilities (like find or grep) are of the GNU flavor.

Ignorant they are, yet their ignorance is a bliss.

She will probably stay employed: github knows that the blowback of firing her will exceed the cost of maintaining her. Erica has a whole twitter posse ready, and she has a high profile in the media. github doesn't want a redo of timnit.

BVI has already passed the legislation to set up a beneficial ownership database. The battle for this ended about four years ago (there will be hold outs like Mauritius, and Nauru but they are now very small in number...beneficial ownership disclosure is now accepted).

And btw, this will make no difference for most foreigners doing evil things (the ever-present "Russian"). Russia doesn't participate in information-sharing, money laundering today is largely a problem of govts choosing not to participate in information-sharing (and I think the implication is that this is anti-corruption, this globalist approach to corruption does nothing, it will help no-one).
Lots of CVEs are illegitimate. You have people creating whole "vulnerabilities" that are just long known features of various technologies. The worst one I'm remembering is the "discovery" of "Zip Slip" and "ZipperDown", which were both just gotchas in the zip format that have been known about for decades now. Both got trendy websites just like Spectre and Meltdown, and loads of headlines. ZipperDown.org is now an online slots website.

Only the lazy people. Normal people will see something they do not understand, take that failing as a learning moment, and do some basic research. Any googling would find this instantly. I hazard it would take less time to cut-and-paste the line into google than it would to type out any multi-word comment on HN. Not a day goes by that I do not see some term on HN that I don't understand. What better way to learn?
Plenty - higher end Intel Macs use discrete AMD GPUs, and AMD hardware has supported adaptive sync since 2013. It's just not wired up in macOS.

The Intel iGPUs used in lower end Macs don't support adaptive sync though, so maybe it's a case of Apple waiting until they can offer it on the whole stack.

They aren't carrying forward the functionality of WSL1. Yes, there are issues that cannot be fixed in WSL1. There are also issues that aren't, and quite likely can't be, fixed in WSL2, that do work in WSL1. The file system corruption that happens here in WSL2 is a nice example, it is something that could not possibly ever happen with WSL1 because of the way it was designed. WSL2 is not and will never be a full replacement for WSL1; WSL1 and WSL2 are two separate products, both with their own advantages and disadvantages, and I wish Microsoft would treat them as such.

> Should Mac Office not be called Office because they completely re-wrote it?

I do not know how different Office for Windows and Office for Mac are, but to go with a different example, yes, I do think Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio Code should not have carried the Visual Studio name, it causes unnecessary confusion.
In LATAM(the place I know the best) middle class people tend to be center-right by a big margin compared to working class people.

In the US things like NIMBY are in essence a conservative position taken by the middle/upper-middle class. The same happen with the school they choose for their kids, the self-segregated gated communities they live, the companies they work for and the closed social circles they frequent.

They CLAIM they are progressive. But supporting your also-white-upper-middle-class-professional gay colleague is a far cry from the things that leftism are really concerned about, like income inequality,gentrification,environmental destruction, third-world labor exploitation,imperialism. On these topics your liberal FAANG friends at best do nothing about it and at worst they are the cogs supporting the oppression machine.

It depends on where you live, but the main cost of a 3D printer for me would be less the machine itself than the space and ventilation needed.

Friends who made the jump basically dedicated a room to making stuff so they can run prints overnight while ventilating (setting up a fume extractor is another option, it’s just a bit more investment in the “hobby”)

I see all of it as totally doable, but needs a serious level of dedication, time, space and money.
