This is fantastic. Thank you!
Why does it matter if the fan collects dust on it?

Am I wrong to only be worried about cleaning the parts that get wet, and not really care about the rest?
Yep, that's the intention. But it's a frontend written by hand, and has to be updated by hand.

An automatic admin UI based on OpenAPI is one of the plans I have for the future. :)

>I would say the abuse of the DMCA by large entities is an unintended consequence of the existence of the DMCA, and it could be patched up by lawmakers if there weren't already a remedy for DMCA requests made in bad faith.

that's sort of a nonsensical statement - it would mean that abuse cannot be patched up if there is a remedy. But how does abuse happen if there is a remedy? Surely the remedy is not very good if it does not stop abuse? But abuse cannot be stopped because there is a remedy.

That's some catch there, that catch-22.

At any rate given that I said most things were neutral and only some things were bad or good I don't know that I am very Stallman-esque - or is it just because I, as many other people, have identified one particular thing as being bad that Stallman also identified as bad. Geez, I don't wanna be like that guy - I guess I should change my viewpoint.

Then again, maybe I'm just John Doe-ish, assuming your average John Doe when told about the abuses of the DMCA thinks - whoa, that's messed up! I wonder why the lawmakers don't do anything to fix it, I bet there's some non-working remedy that prevents it!

This understates the impact of the move. Everyone already was aware that Google was better at running cloud infrastructure than at making AAA games when they started their internal studios. This looks considerably worse than having never tried to make games in internal studios.

Something like Stadia requires customers to believe that it won't go away. Google, given their long history of mediocre commitment to projects, already had considerable skepticism for Stadia from Day 1. Shuttering their internal studios is just one more signal to skeptical customers that Google really doesn't know what they are doing and doesn't care.

Jacques Ellul also has a lot to say on the effects of Technology on Society.

I think the following factors, broadly speaking; will be our (i.e. Civilization as we know it today) downfall;

* Environmental Disaster as a consequence of rampant consumerism. The planet simply cannot sustain it. Our current "Renewables/Recyclables/Carbon Credit etc." policies are a joke. We have forgotten that our planet is a closed system with finite resources.

* Our "Baser" Instincts - We will always subvert any and all technological advances towards the pursuit of power, wealth, and greed and exclude "others" (i.e. those not belonging to our group) thus increasing the "inequalities" in our society.

* Non-linear "catastrophic" effects of many of our social systems - As Nassim Taleb points out in his books, many of our systems are non-linear in their effects and inherently fragile. Thus our ability to predict the long-term future is non-existent.

* The rise of mono-culture biological and social systems. Evolution has always proceeded as a loosely coupled federation of highly cohesive units eg. Madagascar/Australia vs. Asia/Europe, small self-sustaining villages/kingdoms bartering amongst themselves vs. megapolises with huge populations and pegged to a "common currency". This makes the entire system fragile to local shocks.

* Adaptation and Evolution of other species against our measures towards controlling them eg. "Superbugs".
I'm glad you liked it that much! ...I hope the refactor is not too bad.
Privacy from other users, not privacy from big G.

I don’t recall the specifics but I remember the whole thing being very confusing as a user. It was definitely when I started losing trust in Google because there was never a clear benefit to me as a user.

What attempts/proposals have been made to monetise reader? Genuine question as I was not aware of any.

The maintenance cost I mentioned refers to the cost of bandwidth and storage capacity required to cache and push content to the clients. No competitors to reader had the resources to offer a comparable product.

The service they pushed to replace reader was not Google+, but Google Now which ended up in the same graveyard in a few years.

> provide some form of automatic analysis for their customers.

These automatic analyses are much better when they integrate data from several satellites. This seems a job best done by focused third parties that choose the optimal combination of satellites. A single satellite company would be inevitably biased towards using preferrably their sensors, to a detriment of analysis quality.

The factual content of this blog is fine but the delivery is horrible. Why would someone randomly intersperse drawings of their character in the middle of an article about AEAD constructions?
No.

"Systemic" means a problem throughout the system, regardless of design. For example, systemic infection.

"Systematic" means creating a plan or system to do it.

"Disparate impact" is a legal theory for proving systemic discrimination.

I dunno, I'd say it's rational for someone to be weary of joyriding in the first flight of a space capsule only designed to fly for three orbits.

It's pretty common to define risk as probability multiplied by severity.

The wright flyer flew about 30mph 8ft off the ground. Death would certainly have been possible, but unlikely. I could imagine someone walking away from a crash. Moderate probability of crash, moderate severity injury. Moderate risk.

C1 was the first flight of an early prototype (over a year before it was ready to fly a mission longer than 3 orbits). It was launched on a rocket with maybe half a dozen flights? Rocket fails: death. Payload separation fails: death. Pressure vessel fails: death. Propulsion system fails: death. Heat shield fails: death. Parachute fails: death. Moderate probability of failure, very high severity of injury. High risk.
There are a lot of frustratingly silly responses to this article supporting Sale's side of this bet. This is utter madness, Sale wasn't even close!

By virtually every material measure society has improved in the intervening time, in spite of the horrendous response to the financial crisis of 2008 and even the bungled response to SARS-COV-2.

Lots silly self-indulgent stuff that is really indirectly about alienation and whatnot, get over yourselves!

Its not like I don't stress about democratic backsliding and income inequality and God knows what else but the big picture perspective is clear, Sale is obviously so wrong that he should be embarrassed. But he's a crank, so he's doubling down.
can you imagine if they used mac os and also google stadia is such a joke i didnt even know it used linux

Can anyone recommend a good humidifier that doesn’t mold!? This is so relatable it hurts. I bought one of these too for the UV functionality. But it didn’t do much and there was mold not just in the wick...BUT on the blades too which I couldn’t take apart to clean. Any review on the Dyson humidifier in terms of mold?
It is probably the same mechanism. The only thing that took time was wiping down both sides of than fan blades.

I would still be using the venta if I didn't have a new geothermal system installed. The ultrasonic humidifiers I had before the venta didn't last more than two years.

How big is the difference then? I see EER ratings in a huge range, and if I trust those then getting the right model matters much much more than single vs. dual hose. Are those numbers not to be trusted?

Edit: I found some numbers, but they seem to support the 'minimal' theory. This page[1] says that SAAC ratings take the air infiltration into account, and that SAAC for a single hose model is 55-58% of a simpler rating, while a dual hose model is 63-70%. That's only about a 15% loss in efficiency. But the difference between a good model and a bad model with the same number of hoses can supposedly exceed 50%!

I would be interested to know how many of the 450 apps actually needed your location data to do their job. If the app is an exercise app with a map, its a feature that it knows where I am.

If it's a messenger app with a feature that can share your location, then its expected that it will have access to the API's.

Cool, I have done something similar (partial kanji replacement in English text) 10 years ago.

But today you can just use Google Translate which will give you 3 panels - kanji, romaji and English. So you can see the symbols, their sounds and their meaning at the same time. I like that they are displayed in separate boxes because it forces me to think and not just look for the answer. Furigana is too easy to cheat.

It's the settlement for back pay. Not the claimed shortchange amount.
If that works to sustain your lifestyle, way to go.

My comment really doesn't even do your comment justice, but... It really made me think about that scene from the Matrix where Agent Smith described humans as a cancer. There are just so many possible perspectives on it all.
Had a similar problem a couple years ago where I needed to use alternative DNS libraries to troubleshoot issues in a company's infrastructure.

The risk depends on your net worth and earning power, as you allude to. Your net worth might have low variance if the ratio between it and your car's cost is high.

This is the most precise way to phrase the original recommendation. Don't get insurance for things that are easy for you tolerate the variance on. That can be true if you buy a cheap car and are pretty well off. What's the actual chance your car gets stolen 3 times in a year? After the first 2 times maybe you could change the place you store your car, get a GPS tracker or something?

There were 6858 vehicles stolen in NYC in 2020 (nearly doubled 2019) [0].
There are roughly 2M cars registered in NYC [1].
That's a 1 in 300 yearly chance to have your car stolen at least once. If we assume events are uncorrelated, there's a 1 in 100000 chance of two or more thefts, and a 1 in 25000000 chance of three or more. The odds of dying in a motor vehicle accident in the next year is something like 1 in 8000 [2].

That aside, there's all sorts of optional coverage that most people definitely can tolerate the variance on without calculation.

> You can't just be chasing the positive EV when the variance is potentially large.

There are many investment strategies that are exactly this. Writing options is one example. Forgoing insurance, like option writing, isn't possible without sufficient collateral of your own. I recognize that this is not possible for everyone. There are some cheap cars that work fine though. The biggest takeaway is to second guess the sales pitch on premium insurance plans.

Your example is another instant bankruptcy case, with reward that doesn't come close to compensating the risk.

Actually, G+ was full force UNTIL there was an agreement for Google to back off in exchange for Facebook not competing with certain ads products.

All the dirty laundry is coming out in the antitrust suits.
To some extent, you just need to look at the hard data: promotions and raises. See who's getting them. Whatever they're doing is what's actually rewarded.

It sounds cynical but I learned too late that a company's success is only incidental to your own success as someone who works there. If you think this is too negative, I'll just say I've seen a lot of "executives" run companies into the ground, then get great, high-paying jobs at acquirers, because they managed the politics well. It sucks but it's life.

Most tech management, especially young founders of VC-backed startups (vs. larger companies or owner-operated companies where the owners have a lot of skin in the game) is frankly pretty bad. It's just not celebrated or taken seriously the way it is in other industries, or fields (e.g. the military). I'm not saying this pessimistically, quite the opposite--I've seen a lot of bad management and I think there's better out there, but it does seem to be vanishingly rare.

I'm not sure that I would invest significant cash to buy games for a platform, which may be killed on a whim. That's apart from all its other disadvantages, namely a lack of choice.

> I don’t think it says much about the future of the platform one way or another.

We probably disagree here, but to me that's an ear piercing yell about the confidence Google puts into Stadia and its future.
why does VLC still fail to support click to play/pause?
I was wrong, I feel it is important to admit that as a decent human. I still feel my reasons for the prediction are valid but nevertheless, I was wrong :(

> I'm a serial founder who was diagnosed with ADHD in his mid-forties.

I've seen this a lot.

A lot of parents were in complete denial about their children having ADHD, and the rampant diagnosing of ADHD at a point in time. Turns out a lot of children actually had it, and it is not the most compatible with the environment they are in and will be in.

All things did happen: rampant diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and parents in denials. But none of that means any particular child didn't have ADHD.

I've brought this reality up to other parents repeating the same things.

Interesting look on the lobbying industry: the day-to-day life is more mundane than popular opinion might suggest, mostly consisting of handshakes, conversations, and research. However, the impact on America's policy is still profound, especially since members of Congress don't have time to scrutinize every bill and need loads of money to run for election.

I work as a data analyst at a FAANG and what I love most about my job are the data visualization aspects. I really enjoy constantly revisiting and refining charts and dashboards until I’m satisfied with them.

That being said I’m able to spend very little time working on visually appealing content and instead I’m usually buried in SQL. So in my free time I like to publish visuals (leveraging whatever data visualization platforms peaked my interest that week) on my site thriftythoughts.io which focuses on bringing additional insight to financial independence and the FI/RE movement. It has quite a few subscribers but I started it with the intention of it being a creative outlet- not a means for revenue.
Agreed. I don't think that would necessarily change for most people under the new setup.

On the other hand, if you were the kind of person who had a specific interest in any of those things, I think it is very likely that your friend group would enable you to get them pretty easily. (ie you'd probably have some friends for that purpose)
