These cables continue to surprise me, I remember prototypes for robotic “hands off” fuel pumps for petrol/gas that were being built in the 90s. With the rise of the standards around charging electric cars, it seems like a no brainer to standardise on robotics to handle the hook up as we go to higher power levels.

Park car roughly in the correct place, and wait. No more issues using any cable technology that’s appropriate like coolants or the sheer cable mass in terms of copper. The robot can be built to match , and every charging port makes a nice standard looking target for vision tracking and alignment to drive the robot to the right place every time.
feels nice to play around with it. you can create really fast some mock up ideas.

found some bugs or maybe just something i found strange take it if you want it:>, (was just testing the demo)

* adding some components and clicking shuffle removes them for instance the form thing adding it -> clicking 2 times shuffle -> gone

* you check that the html is valid but the editor shows it only after you close and reopen it. used 'teams' removed the last section-tag in the html editor, clicked save -> looked the same -> closed -> opened -> removed tag was back (as it should)
Some would like it, however the problem is that you wouldn't use it enough for it to be worth it to him to build it. Quote:

Where, even in the best, you'll find 1/10th the substance you'll find in the best of books

That's assuming people read the best books.

Let's not forget that Fifty Shades of Grey was the best selling book of the decade (in the US):

In an era where we buy things on Amazon, which is famous for not paying all the due taxes, how do you plan to enforce this?
Also, I live 5km from the german border, I will just buy my TV there.

What was/is? existing is that every for every TV sales, you had to give your name to the shop, which would transmit it to the taxman.
I assume the 500 Euro includes inflation, doesn't it? Oherwise, I have to agree, back the day you didn't have to let these guys in. You didn't, you were save. Just another reason why the switched to a household fee. Regarding that so, not having a TV cable connection at our home, we do watch German public TV through their apps for Fire TV, so not oaying the fee and still wtching would be kind of using "alternative" streaming services, which I did too before Amazon prime and Netflix came about.
I drew a circle and it got flagged nsfw
I did say exactly that. Currently I want to spend time on my stuff and my partner's stuff. I do not want to pause that and spend all the time on my children. I'm enjoying life so much, the traveling, personal hobbies, that I do not want to ruin it with children.

I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be able to spend months travelling every year, or a week cutoff from the rest of the world, doing my own projects, every couple of months, if I had children.

I'm also sure the rabbi has a massive support circle. I, on the other hand, am alone with my partner.
I see, so developers had to take an action to disable their apps on macOS. Natural reaction, considering the uncertainty of how much a mobile app poorly adapted for macOS could suffer in terms of ratings.
Extremely likely. That is probably the best place to put it.
It's not a recurring revenue stream like a subscription though; they'd need to apply a lot of tax to recover the same amount of money (something like £10/month IIRC)
I agree with your assertion. And I would add a bit on the "content moderation is difficult" argument.

The current state of content moderation - or lack thereof - on these platforms didn't happen by accident. It's the direct consequence of their business model.

If you create a digital space and you host millions of people, you will also pull in the fraught complexity of human relationships. The digital space isn't free from the same challenges regarding governance of communities you'd encounter in the physical world.

However, the businesses that provide the infrastructure and engineering that underpins digital spaces aren't in the "building communities" business. They are selling advertising and business intelligence. Which is a very different proposition.

As such, the very design of the large platforms never quite incorporated proper tooling that models the complexities of (self) governing millions of people in a central digital space. On the contrary.

Recommendation engines - people who you know, people to follow, this might interest you as well, this article was shared x times,... - do the exact opposite. They have helped shape emerging social dynamics which are spilling over in the real world, with real world consequences, creating social feedback loops that escape control.

Rather then acknowledging this fundamental issue, these centralized platforms assumed that they could solve this through centralized content filtering, or through centralized human moderation teams which have to follow company policies. Which is an incredibly difficult proposition considering the amount of digital data produced daily by billions of people.

So, why did they chose this type of content moderation? Because the social issues that stem from these platforms are seen as an expense which ought to be externalized. There's only an incentive to invest in content moderation to the point where the issues caused by the people they host are threatening the performance of the business model.

In that regard, I think that a "social media market" were platforms provide affordances for equitable (self)governance of communities involves a fundamental reflection/reshaping/rethinking/overhaul of the business models and business incentives that underpin such a market.

Yeah I read the book first at like 22-23, then at 25-26.

I never had to read it in high school, but as school reading goes, I bet I would have loathed it.

I had to read _Catcher In The Rye_ and yeah, did not like it.
Given the shoddy security engineering in other bits of their product, why would watermarking be the part they spend a lot of effort on?

Presumably preventing things to be stolen at all is more important than finding who did it after the fact.
What if you buy your TV overseas ?
Leaking almost anything to anyone provides enough information to trace you back as a potential source of the leak, thus compromising your identity. A Zoom meeting is no exception. Generally the best policy is to plan on being identified at some point, and how you can best protect yourself once that happens.
I've always mostly known public funded radios to be actually quite critical of the current ruling party. I do not watch much televison but I would expect a similar behaviour.

Howerver I guess it depends on the country you're from.

Does it include "reading comprehension"? I understand being able to read and write, but understanding what you're reading should be part of it I think.

And I don't mean "deep thought" level critique and understanding. More like following a paragraph and understanding what is being said.
This is most of it. EMH can't apply to low float stocks because the ability to borrow is scarce and so the market can't easily correct the price without the supply side taking on enormous asymmetric risk. All it takes is a few million dollars in buying power to keep a small stock up 100 percent and not even the biggest hedgefund can correct the inefficiency.
>If you study a lot of history, you start to notice that old ideas are bad until they’re suddenly very good.

Also the opposite: dumb ideas are tried again and again to no avail ever.
Many people here are commenting on the fact that public broadcasters tend to do documentaries and educational programming which wouldn't be able to survive at that level of quality under a free market system, which seems to be a cause that almost everyone can get behind and an argument frequently being used for defending this system.

What riles me up personally: the ludicrous sums of money that these broadcasters pay for rights to broadcast the olympics and other major sports events. I really don't understand why I should be forced to give money to corrupt organizations like FIFA and the IOC to hold sports events that I don't watch and otherwise don't have a stake in, just because I happen to live in Germany, to make this stuff more affordable for other Germans.

Another thing that I find infuriating about the German system: You have to pay even if you don't watch and don't even own a television and even non-residential addresses and addresses used solely for business purposes have to pay. The only exception is that a home office within a residential premise doesn't have to pay twice. But in some cases you might actually have to. For example if you have a residential home and run a car repair shop out of your garage, then you have to pay a second set of fees for the shop on top of the fees that you already pay for the residential home, even if there is no programming ever being consumed in either of the two.

I also find the collection tactics highly questionable: When you register your business, they send you an invoice for paying that second set of fees for the business and never advise you of the home office exemption. It was only because of how infuriated I was that I did some legal research and then managed to claim the exemption after exchanging some letters with them. I bet most people don't do that and just pay up, which adds to the unfairness of the system.
Are you sure? I would put it now down to the increased usage of cars.
For the same reason, smallish countries seem to be much more democratic and closer to the people (e.g., Switzerland). The "sweet spot" seems to be between 5 and 10 million people maybe?

You make it sound as if there were four Intel/AMD x86/x64 architectures. And well, there aren’t. The vendor split is not a thing, we’re all running the same software on Intel and AMD x86/x64 processors. And you could argue that the x86/x64 split doesn’t really matter for this, since x64 is a superset of x86 and inherits this tradition from the 16-bit and 32-bit eras.
The whole issue seems to be dedicated to watermarking, but relevant to this discussion is also this article:

"The basic principle borrows from spread spectrum communications. It consists of addition of an encrypted, pseudo-noise signal to the video that is invisible, statistically unobtrusive, and robust against manipulations."

Zoom has a less than stellar reputation now for security. Meanwhile this entire feature seems like a checkbox for customers, just one more feature to add to the list. There's only going to be a very small segment of customers going to look into the details. It may not be worth it to them yet to build something more sophisticated.
Because there are some really terrible projects out there made by guys who think that a two week "bootcamp" is enough to make you a competent developer. An SPA needs to access a third party resource of some sort (in my case it was Power BI), and fetching the necessary authentication information from your server with proper authorization is apparently too complicated. I ain't rewriting that shit, I have too much work already.

Not really. And if a user does, they will hear rather mundane codec artifacts, and or noise that is basically like other noise.

Given a redundant mark, and the system I linked has multiple, concurrent redundancy, the chance of the mark surviving grows with the amount of audio.

As others in this thread have said (in other ways) other organisms are black boxes to each of us. We cannot know whether they intent to do things, feel, have emotions, etc. We can only try and guess on basis of analogies (some philosophers will argue we cannot even know other organisms exist outside our own mind)

If it walks and quacks like a sentient being, why not call it a sentient being? One argument is the lack of complexity in reactions. That may be valid, but if so, where do you put the border between simple mechanical response and pain/warns others/…?

If that’s a gradual border, you can’t say the least complex of them aren’t feeling/having emotions/….

I think the distinction is gradual, with no clear border. That’s why I’m fine with calling this kind of responses ‘feeling’. On the other hand, I also don’t think cutting of a branch of an acacia is torture, but maybe I should call it torture on the extreme end of the scale of torture.
It's not a duty, but I'd certainly be nagged by the thought that I'd 'missed something'.

In theory, I agree. In practice, there doesn't seem to be any other snap store out there?

This is a years old quote from [0], but it doesn't feel like anything changed since.

> If you want to distribute your snaps, your choices are 1) publish it through the Canonical store, entirely under Canonical's control, 2) upload it as a file and tell people to use the CLI to install it, or 3) try to figure out how to reconfigure the snap client to use a different server by reading the source code, then write your own server end from scratch, and tell your users to do that.

Software development is a knowledge business, as Fred Brooks has realised nearly half a century ago [0]. In order to build any kind of working software, you have to learn a lot of different things first, on all levels -- from how to write a list comprehension in Python all the way to why a certain end-user needs a particular functionality.

Lobbying isn't easier in a centralised power structure. When Amazon wanted favours from municipal governments, it held a competition to get them to lobby themselves to cut taxes and bend rules to earn the patronage of the corporation that was bigger and richer and more important than them.
Indeed.

I like the push approach outlined here:

http://marcio.io/2015/07/handling-1-million-requests-per-min...

I have done a more generic version of this with success.

You have N workers, each reading from a separate input channel for work to do.

Then you have an outer "channel of channels", holding those worker channels. When you want to submit work, select a worker channel from the outer channel, submit, and push the worker channel back on the outer channel when done.

>Did people „want“ cars when there were only horses.

That's not the right question (as based on the well-known quote).

The right question is: if I showed people a car on actual paved roads, with its load capacity and speed benefits over horses, would they jump for it?

And they did.

But for this thing, they didn't.

This person didn't merely talk about his yet un-made app to some people who couldn't even imagine what could be.

I feel like, maybe, just maybe, the United States of America doesn’t need more government funded statues right now.

Because you know it will somehow turn into a political issue, and once you add one sensible historical political figure like say Lincoln or Roosevelt or FDR or Kennedy it’s only a matter of time until people are arguing between the right and the left.
This is only true when estimates are in concrete units, the way we did it in the 80s and 90s. Unfortunately that still impacts contract structure today and it's hard to change on that level.

TFA is talking about estimates inside projects, which are not time based anymore in any environment that cares about the problems you laid out.

Personally I offer my customers to either pay by the week, or pay by extremely fixed scope with a 3 month definition period up front and a 50% buffer above the estimate. I stress that paying by the sprint lets them change objectives at any time, gives them an always-current report of how much "effort budget" they have left to work with, and guarantees they only pay for what they use. That felt like a risky move the first time I did it, but I never lost any business over it.
Why do they still make car alarms? (2015)

This is really true somehow. After working my first job for 8 years a friend asked me to come work with him somewhere else. They were desperate for techies and preferred hiring through existing employees so it would be quicker and there would be some level of guarantee about performance.

Before joining I thought it was a good time to do some interviews so I would know what my value should be and if maybe there were other (better) options than working with my friend. I had about 4 interviews and 2 immediately did an offer, that felt good. It took some time before I could "interview" at my friends place and meanwhile one of the companies started upping their offer to sway me to them.

The way I entered the interview at my friend’s place was totally different than if I wouldn’t have interviewed those other places. I felt empowered and like I had nothing to lose. I asked for (to me) ridiculous amounts of money and benefits and got them without them batting an eye.

But now here we are, a few years later, and the feeling is coming back. "What if I lose my job?", "Will I ever make what I make now?", "Why am I making so much more money than my way-more-educated friends?". These doubts are weird but they feel valid. I sometimes think if I lose this job there is no place for me besides a service desk or something.

I got another pay raise this week for my “excellent performance”. But I feel I just get this because I can talk to my manager about games we both play and he just likes me. Is this imposter syndrome?
most of the money in circulation is actually debt, or promises to pay for things like cars, phones, or anything you take out in credit. Since most of the world's money supply is debt between individuals and corporations, their needs to be a healthy supply of credit. The credit supply must exceed the demand from debt - so to speak. Inflation generally means there is more credit available in the system.
> I wonder if there is a music notation woftware which allows you to just enter all the notes first, then you can go back and edit the duration- then it will calculate the measures for you.

Dorico works like that. It automatically rebars the music so you don't have to think about it.

My own music-notation editor, Soundslice, doesn't automatically rebar, but it has a "we're all consenting adults" attitude about note durations within a bar, allowing you to add a lot of notes in a bar and worry about their durations later.

> But, that contradicts 4.1.9 that says zip files maybe be streamed. If zip files can be streamed then both of the example above would fail because in the first case we'd see file B and in the second we'd see file A (old) before we saw that the central directory doesn't reference them. If you have to wait for the central directory before you can correctly use any of the entries then functionally you can not stream zip files.

You cannot filter a particular file in a stream using UNIX fifos and constant memory, but you could replace the old file A with the second file A in the stream because it is later. In this way, yes you can consume a zip file in a streaming way, even if you have to wait until the end to pass any of the output to another process.

TAR and CPIO have the same "feature".

Stop spreading misinformation. THE COURT CASE IS LINKED IN TFA, and I linked it again (from another source) above. The article does say that she was an instructor. Not a tenured professor but the person she had the relationship with was her student. All of this is described in the unhinged 300+ page document she wrote where she herself documented in cringy detail how their "relationship" unfolded (WHICH IS PART OF THE COURT CASE).

Just because two people are adults doesn't make a relationship between them not dodgy; think about how bad it is for a doctor to date a patient. The situation here isn't quite as bad (well, if you start stalking a former student after they break up with you, I guess one could also argue that this case is much worse than some other situations where everything unfolds amicably), but still, relationships between people in power and those over whom the power is wielded are not just socially frowned upon, they are recognized as Bad News (if not always strictly illegal) for a long time now.

I'm not sure why you're so insistent on defending if not a sexual predator then at least someone with highly questionable judgement. And again, maybe all of this has little to do with the whistleblower stuff, but there is no question about whether or not it's true that she had an inappropriate extramartial affair with a student, stalked him after he tried to end it and was fired over the whole ordeal.

Oh sure, education has a vital role. It always bemuses me how bad education and health care seem to be in the US. It's like a left winger's parody of how bad these things would be in a capitalist system, except they really are like that. It's the main reason I fully support the public systems here in the UK even though I'm a full blooded capitalist and life long Conservative voter. If it ain't broke...
Absolutely! Countering the deflationary pressures to keep price levels stable (and fixed contracts reasonable), would be another way of looking at it, I think. They're doing their job!

The question is, politically, can they be so responsible in contracting the money supply thereafter? Hopefully!
