The real question needs to be how long good wireless headphones have ever lasted.

Airpods Max don't compete with any of these "um, see?" headphones people are listing. Very few people these days are settling for wired headphones. I know I got the hell out of that tech as soon as I could.
This is the case for some provinces in Canada, and is used as a healthcare boogie man in the USA. At the same time, US politicians for a single payer refuse to state whether private supplemental insurance would be allowed. This mixes up debate between universal coverage and eliminating private insurance entirely.

In HiQ vs LinkedIn, on the injunction the Ninth Circuit Court granted HiQ's injunctions on the grounds that they had raised serious concerns over whether the CFAA can apply at all to systems that do not have an access control mechanism.

to anyone with an Internet connection, fall into the first category. With regard to such information, the “breaking and entering” analogue invoked so frequently during congressional consideration has no application, and the concept of “without authorization” is inapt.

"visibility: hidden" is unlikely to meet that burden. It's not any kind of access control mechanism; the people who are able to see it are defined by their knowledge of the tool, not by being granted access.

This is the criteria they used:

> Put differently, the CFAA contemplates the
existence of three kinds of computer information: (1) information for which access is open to the general public and permission is not required, (2) information for which authorization is required and has been given, and (3) information for which authorization is required but has not been given (or, in the case of the prohibition on exceeding authorized access, has not been given for the part
of the system accessed).

Obfuscation does not require any kind of authorization. It makes it more difficult to extract information, but I think you would have a hard time arguing that other users are not authorized simply because they don't know the URL. There isn't even a list of who is allowed, so "granting" access in this case is nonsensical.

The only way I can see this being illegal is if Parler can successfully argue that they intended for this to require authorization, the scraper knew that Parler intended this to require authorization, and that it's a violation of the CFAA to do something that the provider didn't intend for you to be allowed to do. I don't see that as a remotely likely outcome.
This is definitely not entirely true of x11. I have mixed DPI (which, admittedly, does work for shit, but can be hacked around by using a wrapper script to launch things with different DPIs) and mixed refresh rates. The mixed refresh rates work perfectly, zero issues (as configured via nvidia drivers, admittedly annoying for other reasons).

That said I would use wayland if nvidia wasn't busy fucking everything up.
All good ideas for things to go fix!

I don't understand why this is "progressive," in the way that term is usually used. I have been reading various different conservatives arguing for supply-side changes in these different industries my entire adult life. Sometimes, a thing is just a thing that people can agree on independent of world view. For example, the author could have instead written "People who care about affordable housing must continue to unite against excessive zoning and NIMBYism."
Capitalism makes one feel like they are touching the absolute a not an example of human universality but rather as the universal. Each individuated human identifies as universal. This makes the entire article merely a description of our economic order. We don't need a new approach to nature we need to imagine a different economic order.

Obie | YC S19 | Mid-Senior Frontend, Mid-Senior Backend | Chicago, IL. | Remote, Onsite (when available) | Full Time

Obie is looking for passionate, talented software engineers to join us (Mid-senior FE and BE) with experience in Javascript, React, Typescript, Node.js, GraphQL, Database. A small pivot in our journey has led to a strong product-market fit and we are moving quickly to build something incredible.

If you own a building with leases to tenants, you need insurance - whether the economy is growing or not. It is also an industry that has not evolved to use modern technology: workflows are manual, communication is messy and time-consuming, and people often don’t know what they’re buying or why they’re buying it. Obie sells commercial real estate insurance in a new way: one that emphasizes transparency and human-centric automation.

We are a venture-backed technology company. Our early success is in large part due to our unwavering standards in hiring. We recognize that our product is only as good as the people building and promoting it. We look for individuals who find solutions by going through the cycle of ideation to implementation with curiosity, rigor, and a highly analytical lens. Ask anyone who works here and you’ll hear similar reasons for joining:

- Autonomy. For assertive self-starters, the opportunities to contribute are limitless.
- Impact. By challenging the way it's always been done, we solve problems that have a big impact on our business.
- Collaboration. We encourage rich discussion and civil debate at every turn.
- People. We are inspired by the collection of crazy-smart people around us.

At Obie, we judge people based on the merit of their work. If you are passionate about what this role entails, are excited by solving real problems, and you want to help shape the future of commercial real estate, we want to hear from you.

We’re based in Chicago and have an office in Florida, but (like everyone) we’re remote at the moment.

We welcome US/Canadian based remote applicants, but be warned: we’ll try to persuade you to move to the City by the Lake.

Email me directly for more info or to set up a chat! Would love to learn more about you: adam@obierisk.com

It's pretty obvious that the current healthcare system in the US is bad for business, in addition to not serving a bunch of people. Yet people still take the position that changing it would be risky.
Sure, over the long term 'lump of labor' is clearly wrong.

However, that does not mean that those displaced from work will not struggle to find new jobs. You're not going to turn most coal miners into coders. There's also no guarantee that you replace automated jobs with better jobs. Much of the service sector work that's been created in recent years has been low wage.

TLDR: Just because there will still be jobs, does not mean they will be good ones or that the workforce can easily shift to them.
well yeah, i just got used to it working a certain way, now i gotta figure it out again.

fucking nerds acting like it,s no big deal when shit i use every day is all changed up.

do you have any idea how much cognitive load that is for the average user to figure out new ui?

and usually for no good reason, just to change shit up so someone can get credit for a project.

don,t blame the users for software being shit. it,s shit. it,s built by arrogant emotionally-children with no concern for empathy or quality.

The author is kind of a jerk. He complains that users don't like wayland when he entirely and wholesale rejects anyone who wants to use an nvidia graphics card.

Maintainers with attitudes like this are why we can't have nice things:

Sadly, the OSS driver doesn't support the 4k monitors I use for work well enough to actually use day to day. So my option is to use an "evil" but very stable driver and no wayland to do my job and get paid, or not.

'Quarter of a century' sounds dramatic... but it's just two and a half decades and less than a third of one lifetime... not passing down generations.
NVidia is broken, not Wayland. They refuse to implement the same APIs as everyone other driver does.

Wayland is 10 years old, and extremely stable. If it isn't working properly it's either your driver vendor or your desktop environment that is to blame.
Exports empty Canada's canola bins, driving prices to near records
Your use of "was" here is sadly, incorrect. PA is still horrifically broken on simple PC desktop systems I use (with integrated AC97 audio, btw) and on custom embedded systems I have integrated new sound chips into.

I regularly have to open pavucontrol to fix basic things like "where output audio streams are routed to", fight with audio frequency rates, etc. On new embedded designs, PA is often the bane of my existance because of the insane heuristics it runs to figure out audio policies and mixer/routing behaviors. Even the major desktop environments have trouble trying to integrate with the blasted thing.

PA is still hot garbage, straight from upstream source.
> So, didn't it make that security claim irrelevant because each window can access the screen?

No, because these APIs allow the user to audit the requests and allow or deny. You could have a default-allow policy and get back to the X security but most implementations ask you to confirm first.
The reason is because the markets are not the same. And why are they not the same? Government(s).

> How do you explain nations with more government involvement in healthcare who have lower healthcare costs?

They made other tradeoffs and inverted the graph. For example cellphones are way more expensive on some countries, cars are taxed up to 100% on others.
The real "one free miracle" is that the universe started in an anomalously low-entropy state, lower than could be explained by random fluctuations.
In containers it’s entirely reasonable and desirable that you only ship your app with minimal dependencies. I suspect that the people who are grumpy about upstarts doing away with libc are also inclined to argue that containers are the work of the devil or some such.
I only developed on smaller FOSS projects but can tell you this blogpost ist just an abyssnormally small piece of the hate you'll get for changing things.
On the other hand, Nova N 176 is written in a known (albeit mostly lost) language and there's relatively little indication of the content. Whereas Voynich is written in a mysterious unknown language/cipher and has fascinating illustrations that inspire curiosity. Voynich also has the "advantage" of resembling a European language, which makes studying it much more accessible to scholars and amateurs who lack the necessary training in non-European languages. (In other words, the problem is not that people are choosing to study one vs. the other, it's more that the set of people who have the necessary training to study Nova is either smaller, or doesn't have as many people interested in this sort of puzzle.)

I agree this is a better architecture but this creates more work for the kernel team but doesn't free them from ABI stability constraints anywhere in the near-term. It would take 10-15 years to pay off I think.
Look, desktop Linux has enough things that barely work (I haven't had working sound since the switch to Pulse Audio).

The strong reaction to Wayland is due to breaking even the few things that used to work.
> Since it didn't appear to be legit, couldn't he have ignored it?

Given that he contacted an attorney, who then reached back out to the government, the answer seems to be no, he could not have.
> I don't understand how that gives you dictatorial power over 100s of users who don't like the changes you've made.

The option always remains to change it yourself or stop using it. It's not as if it's bound to the hardware (Apple) or shipped with the machine (Windows). It's not a SaaS that may vapourise or change underneath you.

There's no way to force consensus in situations like this. The best you can do is force out those maintainers you don't like with a harassment campaign.
The "more expensive" goods and services are not relocatable, or otherwise have special limitations on supply. College textbooks, for example, are priced monopolistically to maximize revenue as opposed to quantity. Housing is priced based on mortgage rates.

Improved manufacturing and (essentially) cheap Chinese labour is responsible for the cheaper goods.

The connection here is that "inflation" as it is measured by central banks is artificially lowered by improved and cheap manufacturing. This allows them to keep very low interest rates while being congruent with their "charter" of keeping stable average prices.

Artificially low interest rates can be seen as the cause of the most of the "more expensive" goods. It inflates the price of assets relative to income.

And there are many stake holders in asset inflation.
Correct. It sounds like “being able to persist at mundane tasks” is perceived as valuable, and people who don’t, try to accommodate that illusion. While your superpower is actually “easily ignores bulls8t”, and it should be celebrated! Just an opinion...
The easiest way to do it is by leveraging the existent communities.
Search for places where your potential customers hang out and start to help people, ask for feedback.

I did it for all my last products, that's clearly the easiest way to start getting your first users.
This is incorrect. The premiums and fees paid to and by private insurers subsidize things like medicare and medicaid, which have such low reimbursement rates that they could not stand on their own without serious changes to the underlying structure.
> It's not just the FOSS community, look at how non technical people react every time gmail, outlook or excel makes a tiny change to the UI

This seems to point to the general situation of change fatigue. If you pick up a random Android device, what does the "settings" app icon look like? Individually, these things are small, but the small impedances these changes introduce does take a toll on people, especially when you're trying to just get stuff done.

I don't think there's an easy answer here when the developer needs to make fundamental changes, though.
Here is a challenge for you. Find out where the idea for lockdowns came from and the science behind those. (There is none - we just blindly copied an authoritarian regime).
> It's not just the FOSS community, look at how non technical people react every time gmail, outlook or excel makes a tiny change to the UI (not to mention big ones). It really makes people angry when things don't work the same anymore, let alone when it doesn't even work anymore for their use case.

Most of them are too frequent, automatic, plus they are not actual improvements.

Instant Response to India's Budget: Machine Analysis
The ISA fragmentation issue is the worst thing I've consistently heard about RISC-V.

Fragmentation is in general horrible. It was a major problem with ARM32, and that was much more strictly defined with less variation. ARM64 tried to define things more rigidly and has mostly banished the problem. The ARM ecosystem continues to be held back though by fragmentation around bootstrapping, hardware enumeration, and other aspects of the system that surround the core. Every ARM board tends to be a special snowflake.

I can't imagine RISC-V beyond niche applications unless someone publishes a more strictly specified version of it that provides a unified platform.
That's not strictly correct. Give the `feature/pgtk` branch from upstream a try, `make` it yourself unless your distro has a binary for it -- that (`make`'d myself) worked for me on Void Linux.

There are also a few forks on GitHub with native wayland patches out there too if `feature/pgtk` doesn't.
> Graphical corruption in Chromium when on webgl sites.

Can’t speak to Chromium or Wayland, but Chrome on Mac has this problem for me and I just had to completely disable hardware acceleration.
Exactly. There is no real mystery when you look into it. If there was any real value to these "discoveries" they would be kept secret. Just the fact that the patents were public were enough to know that it's vaporware.

The most surprising thing about the whole story is that some higher ups were helping push through these patents, going so far as to claim that the patents are operable [1]. How any one of them couldn't see this for vaporware is beyond me.

[1] - "the inventor Salvatore Pais, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division's (NAWCAD) patent attorney Mark O. Glut, and the U.S. Naval Aviation Enterprise's Chief Technology Officer Dr. James Sheehy, all assert that these inventions are not only enabled, but operable." - https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/29232/navys-advanced-a...
Why does this distinction matter? Gnome on X works perfectly fine, Gnome on Wayland does not. Why does it matter it to state that Wayland is a protocol, not the implementation?

It depends on the compositor. Some allow any app to record the screen (bringing us back to X) but most require user approval.
Both "standing on the shoulders of giants" and number of people should apply equally well to the progress in CS. We are however slowed down by the effort put into the distraction of commercialization.

> > [errno]

> I can believe that there are other issues I fail to consider, but again it works for everybody else, what makes Go so special here?

errno being thread-local doesn't really help all that much with a M:N threading model -- the runtime is going to have to be extremely careful to not stomp all over it. (Whenever calling into anything which uses errno. Of course system calls do that as well, but it's a much smaller surface area than "most of libc".)
I barely know what Wayland is, but this attitude doesn't make me eager to try it.
At least it allows for pinch zooming, which is (IMO, of course) an acceptable compromise. Maintain readability for the text while still making it possible to hit the UI elements.
I'm pretty sure that it's a bug in Chrome / Chromium since other applications are just fine even when Chrome is being dog slow.
That's not how masks work.
The masks rating is mostly a function of leakage not filter material for the particles of concern (biological aerosols) and using multiple harder respirators can compromise fit or provide no benefit.

The rating percentage is for specific test setup. For biological aerosols, the result is quite different in that small particles are stopped by diffusion, and the filter rates tend to be better than rated for masks, as long as leakage is low.

Now, the situation is different with weak filtering materials such as used in surgical or cloth masks, but the result is not additive either.

Have you actually tested that the specific double N95 configuration even provides single N95 protection? (Esp. leakage) No? Then better not mess with the design.

> This is ... not true, either broadly or generally

I’m saying that because if you ever type in your password, e.g. into a screenlocker, into a terminal with sudo, or an apt-get gui, every application can listen to those input events. Every application has the ability to be a keylogger by default. And with that captured password, it then can either inject input events into your terminal, or run sudo itself.

> The Wayland protocol provides the building blocks for someone to create an Android-like sandboxed environment, but doing so would break every application. Snaps and Flatpak come closer, but still generally miss the mark, since many applications require your entire home directory to be bind mounted in their container.

That’s true, but also not. With X11, even a flatpak without any special permissions or bind mounts can still basically control your system. Just listen for input events until you see the keys "s u d o", then listen until you see something that looks like a password, then wait until the user is not paying attention, and inject virtual input events to start a terminal and inject input events to run "sudo rm -rf /*" with the password you captured earlier.

By making the ability to intercept, record, or inject input events a special API, wayland at least allows flatpaks to be sandboxed at all.
That's not true for Wayland I think, Wayland is much closer to the Unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well: it is a (library implementation of a) local display protocol, and only handles input redirection and display configuration. It uses the kernel for device management, and puts clients fully in control of their own canvas through OpenGL.

It doesn't do output configuration, input management, application window drawing, font rendering, or remoting, all of which X did itself (although modern application rarely made use of that part of X). Those things are delegated to the kernel or to application libraries.
