I had a Neon in the late 1990s and it had disc front and drum rear brakes, I assumed it was just because it was a cheap car. That's super interesting how it just isn't as needed for EVs.
Oh thanks! I didn't realize the dongle attached to the computer, I thought it was like a power brick for the keyboard itself. That looks pretty nice!

So basically all the smarts so to speak are in the dongle, which you reprogram, etc?
I 100% agree with not just relying on the meds and moving on, even though the new ability to maintain focus and context switch without overwhelm is so novel in its own right. But yeah, I'm currently on a waitlist for the diagnostic testing and am seeing a therapist who specializes in the condition.

The most fascinating part of this journey is finally understanding myself better. I've been spending hours every week reading others experiences with ADHD, watching videos (Dr. Russell Barkley is awesome), and in general just figuring out who I am and why I'm that way. I'm beginning to understand that habits I've had, such as being "hyper organized" (actually, being utterly dependent on my calendar) were just coping mechanisms needed to get things done. It almost warrants an entire self-evaluation.

Your description of the stress response seems plausible. All my life I've oscillated pretty strictly between hyper-anxious and utterly indifferent, the latter probably serving as a coping mechanism. Suddenly now I'm able to comfortably live in the middle ground. I'll do what needs done today, and know that what needs done next week/month/year will get addressed when it's time.

Anyway, I really appreciate the feedback and wisdom. Wishing you the best of luck.
The fact that they only found discrimination worth 5 million means that they found no evidence that discrimination is a huge issue at Google.
Is remote from Melb possible?
Absolutely agree! And Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramon y Cajal is still highly worth checking out.
The Honeywell one does... probably has some benefit, but doesn't solve the issue.

Friendly reminder: If this is not the internet you want, please try to support indie content producers whose work you think is decent and who take tips/Patreon/et al. And if you can afford it, subscribe to online newspapers and the like (because journalism is in a world of hurt and it is negatively impacting minor little things like freedom and democracy).

I blog and I take tips and Patreon and I sometimes hit the front page of HN. I make a pittance. This means that I have no real choice but to do other kinds of paid writing.

So I've thought long and hard about this and I've read the stuff on HN for years where people here don't want ads on the sites they visit, don't want paywalls, don't like content marketing and "pay for play" affiliate sites, etc etc etc.

And then also do not want to leave tips, support a person's Patreon, etc.

If you give writers and other creatives no means to earn an adequate income trying to meet your prissy high standards for so-called ethics [1], then don't be all shocked that they will do whatever happens to actually work to line their pockets, though it involves lying, writing reviews for pay without actually ever touching the product, etc.

People need to eat. Not everyone can be a programmer.

Make it possible for creatives to establish a middle class income. Stop telling people like me "Writing doesn't pay. You know that. Go get a real job." and find a way to make it pay such that doing the kind of writing you want to see is what gets rewarded and not sketchy garbage.

Writing does pay. It just pays for doing bad things and occasionally someone like J.K. Rowling gets stinking rich. It doesn't have to be that way. The world can decide it values good writing and that writers deserve a decent income and make choices to move the world in that direction.

[1] These so-called "ethics" seem to boil down to "we expect writers to write for free and find some other means to support themselves while producing quality content as...a hobby, I guess" -- aka slave labor. And then folks get upset if you frame it that way.
Fastmail | Onsite | Melbourne | Data Scientist

We’re looking for a Data Scientist to take Fastmail to the next level! You’ll work in our Melbourne CBD office, building a data reporting and visualization platform to empower the teams building the privacy-forward email service we all deserve.

This is a new role, and you will have the leeway to shape it.

Go back to prohibition, liquor was quite expensive compared to legal liquor post prohibition.

And again, bootleg cigarette markets are almost devoid of violence compared to illegal drugs.
You can do a few things well, or many things poorly. Google used to be the former but they've shifted towards the latter over time.
> The cloud isn't some magic thing that solves all scaling problems, it's a tool that gives you strong primitives (and once you're a large enough customer, an active partner) to help you solve your scaling problems.

I don't think anyone who's got any reasonable level of experience is expecting that it's a magic wand.

There are, though some things in AWS (and for sure other cloud providers) where you get no useful signals or controls. It's entirely managed by the cloud provider, based on their own internal metrics and scaling behaviors.

Behind the scenes, their load balancer services don't give you indications of how heavily loaded they are - nor do you get to directly control how many/big those load balancers are.

In some parts you can hack around this by pre-warming infrastructure by generating fake traffic - but that assumes that you have those metrics and knowledge that you even need to do this.

This applies to all sorts of things - there's hidden caps and other capacity limits all over AWSs platform that you don't know about until you hit them. There's even capacity limits that you can know about, because they're publicly documented, but AWS lies and won't tell you the actual limit being applied to your account - the console and documentation says one thing, but in reality it's a lot lower.

If that capacity limit resulted in an outage, well, tough luck.
In the sweepstakes it says the Approximate Retail Value ("ARV") is $2.21 Million. That is one expensive ticket!
Yeah, I kinda forced myself through that one. Not sure it was a good decision.
The average car on the road is 6-7 years old and won't be junked until about year 15. Show me how well Android devices that old are supported.
I was there. I'd say they did fully commit, and that included committing other teams by force. Everything was going to be integrated with Google Plus come hell or high water.

Unfortunately, the evident intensity of their commitment did not correlate with the wisdom of their decisions. Perhaps it was inversely correlated, because boy were there a lot of terrible decisions in that product.
That's interesting. I haven't read Dodge. Thanks!
Superstar Cities Are in Trouble
>For most people the economy is not working for them.

For most people in the world, they are quite a bit richer than their ancestors, even by 50 years ago.

In fact, the number pulled from poverty over the past 50 years is astounding.

Even in rich places like the US, the poor today are vastly richer than 50 years ago. Median wages are at all time highs as well.

So how do you conclude "for most people" (which I take to mean at the very minimum more than 50%) "the economy is not working for them." Which people are these? How do they compare for income or assets or access to things to their ancestors?
Keep reading the rest of the (very) long document that you linked, it describes two additional ways to enter.

Of those three I was initially least interested in reading Anathem. Maybe as a result, I was most pleasantly surprised by it. Agree that none of these compare to the Baroque Cycle.
it may not inspire confidence in a deliverable date.

Maybe not, but it has other qualities. The prashing does seem to convey that if your boss really think about it, Q4 is very early. He's lucky that it isn't Q3 of the following year. Try it. Report back.
To be honest it's still kind of a mess. I started out with a FastAPI service that wasn't performant enough and figured that putting ray serve behind it would take a day but it turned out to be a pain in the ass. The docs are really lacking and they're transitioning from flask to starlette in 1.2 (which is not out yet) so a lot of the information is wrong or misleading. I ran into a ton of random serialization issues like simple dataclasses holding a torch tensor and some plain metadata getting pickled and copied, and pydantic models failing to serialize and crashing the whole thing with assertion errors (broken recently in their nighly releases, which are needed to use 1.2).

Depending on string names and handles is also very hacky and completely cripples PyCharm autocomplete / type checking.

The core of the project is great though. We're working on a video processing system that has a ton of downstream models and using Ray makes it possible to get away with running inference in pytorch without going down the TensorRT/inference engine rabbit hole (would be torture for some of our detection and sequential models).

For anyone looking into it I recommend starting with their Architecture Doc(https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lAy0Owi-vPz2jEqBSaHNQcy2...) and Design Patterns (https://docs.google.com/document/d/167rnnDFIVRhHhK4mznEIemOt...) Docs.
How about heart rate and blood pressure?

I get the same reaction as you - I'm calm, still, patient. Much more "present" with my wife and far less likely to argue. If I need to plan, or organize something, the initial feeling of "oof" is no longer there. I just do the task.

I have however noticed that my heart rate (normally in the low 50s) hovers in the low 60s. I assume (but have not checked) that my blood pressure is also increasing. Both of these things are concerning.
It is interesting to see crypto collectively become the things its supporters hated most about the traditional financial system.

>For people with ADHD, they can be truly life saving. For recreational use, avoid.

Just so you are aware, amphetamines are and have been used widely, and successfully, by people without ADD/ADHD. It has addictive qualities for sure, but I appreciate that people are allowed to try whatever substances they would like to try.
You should include the previous line on that second quote

>there is no plausible mechanism for systemic discrimination by the alleged wrongdoers. Lower-level managers...

If the suit is about systematic bias, this seems to be a pretty good line of reasoning. Complete chaos in compensation outcomes == no bias, or at least if there is, it's probably not coming from the top down
> you just have to scroll past a page of Google garbage first.

'Google garbage', aka Google Maps listings (which DDG also has above their search results, although it uses Apple Maps).
On Apple's own store, sure. In fact in an open-API world Apple could make their store as secure, as walled, and as privacy respecting as they wanted and we would never need to even debate if Apple abuses their market position. I'd also be perfectly fine with letting Apple demand that phones ship in a factory default state or alternatively outlaw pre-installed apps because you're right that most of it is trash.

However once the phone has reached the user I do not see at all how open protocols reduce Apple's appeal to people who want to exclusively use Apple software. You can simply do just that.

Would Microsoft be more valuable if we all could only install software through the windows store and the OS was locked down? Nobody would claim that. Third party apps are what adds marginal value to the phone. This is precisely why Apple let's third party developers put apps on their phone, something that Jobs for example initially opposed. He wanted to build everything in-house.

I think Apple is valuable for a lot of reasons. They have a great sense of aesthetic, user friendliness, UX, great hardware, but I do not believe at all that a lack of software raises the value of the phone. If you had a universal chat app that interfaces with all other proprietary protocols on your phone right now, your phone would be worth more.

If you do a lot of conversions - you might want to look up Handbrake - it has a more intuitive interface, but uses FFMpeg under the hood (another project managed by VLC folk that is world-changing by itself.

> Lincoln may not be evil, but he's a man of his times and we are in a different world now. Statues get torn down, that to me is a sign of progress. People recognize he wasn't an angel, maybe the best America could do at the time but the hope is to have heroes even greater.

I think the end result of that line of thinking is the end of celebration of those who have achieved positive things. I think we have to distinguish between people who achieved good (and definitely in comparison to their contemporaries) and pushed things forward, but who weren't perfect when judged by anachronistic modern standards; and those who's primary achievements are now rightly viewed in a more skeptical light. If we don't all we end up doing is just condemning everyone that came before, and if we are honest we could condemn the contemporaries we want to celebrate too, because sooner or later some later generation will come up with a test they will fail.

For the record, I also flagged the OP.

Huh! Also funny that the French wiki is so much more extensive. The quote from the English version is the complete section!

Seems like a western adaptation of tatziki or tarator sauce, plus some orientalist confusion over who to call “tartars”. Interesting stuff!

I personally think an evaporative humidifier is the way to go, as long as you are okay with the evaporator getting gross over time.
> Any company making incremental improvements to existing cool mist humidifiers will probably get a lot of eager buyers.

I don't buy that. Japan has a ton of high quality air cleaner combo cool mist humidifiers. We don't see these units sold in the US because Americans are cheap. The idea of paying 200$ for an air cleaner feels like a scam to American ears.

And thus the American market continues to race to the bottom.
Artificial "product segmentation" is such nonsense. If you're able to put in the extra effort of disabling features that you just get for free otherwise, and make more profit by doing so that's just a sign that the market you're operating in is severely lacking in competition. It's good to finally see AMD giving Intel a run for their money.
No it's not only this. I have to change Hue, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Gamma slightly. Quicktime on Mac does a better job in this. VLC is not color accurate by default or not optimized for subjective pleasing color results (unlike most TVs nowadays) but the manual sliders can compensate it. However it's annoying if you change monitors. Then the settings are off again.
Huh. I find that interesting - for myself, Plex worked immediately, out of the box, was incredibly easy to use, and has held up like a tank. I’m watching a show off it right now at the moment; actually!

I just installed the Server on my MacBook or Windows laptop, installed the Plex channel on my Roku stick, added two folders, one for films and one for TV Shows, and I have never looked back.

Not saying your experience couldn’t have been the exact opposite - I’m just wondering what particular issues you ran into? Plex is solid af for me.
I have an under-sink RO/DI system, the whole system was about $200. It's a great investment for a place with hard water. I use it to get demineralized water for my house plants, fish tank, and drinking.

I use the RODI for expensive steam appliances like my Wagner, but I don't use RODI for regular old vegetable steamers or humidifiers. It's just not worth it. The scale buildup isn't a big deal and it's very easy to dissolve with an acid or just brush off.
It says WiFi/Ethernet is done. It also looks like Power management is done? Getting GUI online? The pictures show a full desktop working.
Just the other day I was trying to view a small USB camera I had plugged into my Kubuntu machine. Cheese couldn't find it... kamoso was crashing... uninstalled them both. Pointed VLC at it as a capture device and it came up instantly!
