Josiah is an interesting guy because it turns out his opinions hold quite a bit of nuance and he’s generally a good guy (not a snake oil salesman). I think he definitely had that perspective going in - the point of the experiment is partly inspirational to show it can be done.
I feel like preserving angles is way more important to this math/eng crowd than it is to casual map users.

> Also breaking a norm very similar to Mitch McConnell shoving through a SCOTUS justice 8 days before an election.

McConnel shoving through a SCOTUS justice 8 days before an election is breaking a norm. Adding justices to the Supreme Court because you don't like how they're deciding cases isn't just breaking a norm. Nine justices might be a norm, but changing the number of justices for the express purpose of getting different outcomes (which is what progressives want to do) is just breaking separation of powers.
For those curious, this is one screenshot I took of the UI that night: https://ibb.co/wzV8fQQ

I fully expect sober and patient people to defend this UI, but it was utterly confusing at the time (and as a consequence sadly hilarious).
They’re called liquidated damages and they’re typically only enforceable when they are reasonably close to the actual monetary harm that would be caused by a breach of a contract.
Source? Ajinomoto Build-up Film is used only for high-end flip-chip packaging. Very few automotive ICs use such advanced packaging. Most non-EV cars probably don't have any at all.

Yes, and it actually is one of the easiest sets to remember because there are so few exceptions. Everything that you expect to be there is there and works like you expect it to.
I recommend everybody to do so too. But not for this direct moral reason. (Which I'm honestly and sadly too ignorant and uncertain about.) I think there's room for smaller/niche providers, a subculture of self-hosters.

Probably the best example of this is the live oral polio vaccine. It's a bit risky (it occasionally reverts to being infectious) but in a population where polio is endemic it's much safer than letting polio keep circulating.

(In places where polio isn't endemic, you get administered a totally inactivated vaccine by injection instead. They don't give everyone that one because it's more complicated to distribute, the oral one needs much less infrastructure)
i like your optimism, but here is the thing: shorting is not valuable to society. if a company sucks their stock will go down. if it’s a good company their stock will go up.

shorting just puts artificial pressure on the price.
it’s a practice that i believe has no place in the market.

the same way that HF trading is just a big scam dressed up nicely. we need things that bring value, not scams
My knee-jerk reaction is this doesn’t seem like a great idea. I’m pretty sure Android would never have gotten so big without Google’s cash infusion, and even so they depended on Microsoft, Blackberry, and Nokia’s missteps leaving such a big gap in the market.

Success for startups is never certain. I’m not sure that removing exits would make success more certain. Not everybody has the luck and determination to go alone. FAANG were uncertain startups not that long ago.
For an author of an Open Source project to say it's "not socially acceptable" to use their software to make money without contributing back is heavily idealistic, but we don't live in a meritocracy.

If I use the software and make money, but don't donate, should I fear being socially reprimanded? What's the line there?

Piracy is one thing, but this borders on extortion and frankly would make me uncomfortable using this software.
Like you do with anything else: rule of law and private property.
The absurd hypothetical that CoinLab could have been Coinbase in some strange parallel universe should not take priority in the bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings over the claims of Mt. Gox users who held actual dollar/cryptocurrency assets on the exchange.

CoinLab's lawsuit has delayed the distribution process and their absurd claims are part of the reason why creditors with actual legitimate claims (i.e. Mt. Gox users) are still waiting for the remaining assets to be distributed.

It is like the bank has robbery and 20% of the money is stolen, but instead of distributing the 80% among the customers, it is given to the bank's US partner that said "oh hey we could've been the next big bank in the US if the other bank didn't get robbed".

>What if someone made a bible that claimed Jesus was not the son of god, but just a man. I assume you would be ok with that?

Like the Qur'an? No problems bud.

>What if someone makes a bible that says Jesus was engaged in a homosexual relationship with his disciples?

If I actually thought their religion truly believed that, absolutely a-ok. If they were doing it to be assholes, I'd still have no problems with it but I understand why there would be some people very upset and wish they would voluntarily stop.

That's also how I view depictions of Muhammad, if apps involving that were what Pakistan banned I'd see every party involved as objectionable. Here there's a clear victim.
The 6809 compares to ARM and RISC-V the way a bicycle does to a Greyhound bus.
That usually works if you can find something that (1) you can do (2) is valuable and in demand.

Do you have a good heuristic for finding something valuable to do that meets these criteria?

Seems like everything worth doing has been done or is capital intensive to get into.

I am mechanically inclined and have all the tools and a garage (inherited) to work on cars in maybe I can buy wrecks and fix them up. I am not too good at sales though and there is a lot of regulatory burden to get set up. Not to mention zoning and other stuff. Maybe it is worth looking into...

With interest rates so low these days though almost anybody can finance a new or newer car and it kind of hurts used car dealers but then again with covid there is more demand for cars from people leaving cities.

But the work is hard and dirty and not quite as lucrative as a best selling book...lol.
I read your comment 3 times. I still can't understand what you're saying.
ARM32 has the same "feel" to me as the 6502 and 6809 do. If you wanted to have a similar experience as those of us who cut our teeth on those systems, but on a more modern platform, I think you'd get it from ARM32. Really the most noticeable differences are, you won't have to waste cycles (literally) writing out 16- and 32-bit arithmetic carry code all the time, and you get registers instead of the zero-page. (Though the experience of writing carry code is still there, if you want to do any 64-bit arithmetic.)

The historical reason for this is that ARM32 was directly modeled after the 6502, which in turn was based on the 6800, as was the 6809.
Good call out, thanks!

Thanks for reiterating this. In the end, what we leave behind is the love we gave others and the wisdom we bestow. Hoping they learn sooner than us, and benefit.
Obviously our colonial history has had a huge impact on our psyche, and influenced our democracy. As for "traditonal hindu values" or "native traditions", these are clever bogus arguments used by the current right-wing to do away with the indian secularism envisioned and enshrined in our constitution.
Sounds like usability instead of QA.

QA is orderly process of utilizing techniques to create instability in stable systems.

Everything has a breaking point. QA is finding out if the breaking point is above specified threshold or not.

QA knows anything can be broken at some point. The job of QA is to verify that it meets specified criteria under certain stress conditions and document them.

QA is more than randomly pushing buttons hoping to pop open the box.
Interesting. I wonder if that requires a lawyer or not. (Legal fees for this sort of thing are exorbitant in California, and the cases tend to be a stretch.)

It’s an odd (broken?) process if the judge would ascertain the person’s mental health. Hopefully, most judges would call in professionals.
Your immune system is not intelligent. Through natural selection it has evolved to be able to handle some things, but it can't see permutations like that, as they are not something it evolved for, it's all chemical/physical matching.
I probably have ADHD and poor impulse control too. It works in some roles, but not so good with planning boot strapping from nothing and following through on a plan. If you are already rich and empowered ADHD may be more manageable if you can rapidly switch your attention from one thing to another and then have people under you actually execute on the details.
Teetotaler, it's a weird enough word you speak more often than write.
I am 52, and it's getting tough to hear flyback.

I miss CRT's too, and I have a couple. One, near my work desk, is a lightly used SONY PVM, high pitch Trinitron. I love to have movies playing on it when working. Above it, on a shelf, are a reasonable VHS that I use for capturing tapes and watching movies on as well as some not so special DVD/Blu-Ray player I should hook up via RGB, but is running S-video.

Rambling aside, I would enjoy a video series on character generators. Lots of us geeked out on broadcast details.

Personally, I would enjoy any tech info on how the characters were done and what trade-offs got made any why. Some of what was out there looked very good. Other gear, not so much. Bet it's a few minor details that differentiate those outcomes too.
That's true. I totally agree. I was just thinking that most of the hard-working poor people should not get lumped in with the criminals.

But I think it's important to point out the strong link between crime and poverty. And personally I think that the best ways to address crime start with addressing structural inequality.

I also personally think we should have a lot more mental institutions rather than relying on prisons or just letting everyone with problems fend for themselves. As long as they don't start lobotomizing people again or something.

Nox has been known to be adware and there are multiple guides on creating firewall rules so it doesn't phone home or update.
I wouldn't be surprised if the developers themselves did this on purpose for monetary gain, if I remember correctly Nox's subreddit hates them already.
I couldn’t disagree more with you. I can’t understand how we have extremely intelligent people coming to this conclusion.
99% of games I play doesn't run on genymotion, shows "your device isn't compatible with this version". Some say it's because they don't emulate ARM CPUs. Anyway around it?

Edit: I tried the ARM translation tool on Android 7.1/8.0, it's better now but still have lots of games don't work. I guess I have to stick with Nox/LDPlayer etc. for now since they just work. Don't know how they achieve it.

When's the book coming out?
Of course everyone would want the greater of the two. But the claims need to be balanced because some users held cryptocurrency assets while others held dollar assets, and there aren't sufficient assets to return either one. The rehabilitation trustee has already come up with a plan that balances the demands of the various stakeholders, and most people are happy with it. There are many reasons why the assets haven't been distributed yet, but one big reason is because CoinLab keeps parroting their ridiculous claims; obviously CoinLab's lawsuit will be thrown out eventually (because their claims are absurd), but it's part of the reason the distribution keeps getting delayed and likely won't happen until, say, 2022-2023.

Only in January 2021 did CoinLab finally say, okay, we will agree that the distribution of 90% of the assets can start while our lawsuit continues (they are ridiculously demanding that CoinLab get some big portion of the other 10%, so they want that money held up until their absurd lawsuit is finally thrown out). See https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-15/coinlab-r...
This concept behind earlier screening is a whole thing amongst medical professionals, and a point of controversy in a number of specialties.

As with most things, procedures have risks and benefits. Colonoscopies have risks too, right? Bowel perforation (bad news), bleeding, infection, etc. So, balancing that with the obvious benefit of catching cancers early, the USPSTF (United States Preventive Services Taskforce) made some recommendations on when patients should undergo screening for colon cancer.

As of right now, per their highest level of evidence recommendations, you should get a colonoscopy starting age 50, and every 10 years thereafter. Note, I said colonoscopy. Not sigmoidoscopy, not stool testing, etc. Those have different guidelines and intervals (but do still start age 50).

If you have family history of colon cancer, or certain diseases that put you at higher risk for colon cancer, the recommendations are significantly earlier. In the case of a positive family history, you get a colonoscopy age 40 or 10 years before the earliest colon cancer diagnosis in the family, whichever comes first.

The reason I bring all this up is to point out that if you go to the USPSTF web site, you'll see an evidence level B recommendation to start screening age 45 as well. You'll also find the American Cancer Society has colonoscopies starting age 45.

The evidence and safety for colonoscopies at earlier and earlier ages is getting better and better. Doctors should absolutely be screening well before age 60. If your doctor isn't following uspstf guidelines due to practicing outdated medicine (some variation due to personal preference/evidence based practice I guess is acceptable), in my not so professional opinion you should probably find a new doctor.

Stimulants and hallucinogens for the most part.
I agree, that's a lot. High/drunk people are legitimate users, especially for something like Uber!

Another heuristic I user is, "can a person with an upset toddler work this?" Spending time around parents with small children made it clear that even the smartest person can end up with what is effectively a cognitive impairment if they are trying to keep a small child alive. Attention? What's that?
China did it. Many countries routinely block Google stuff.

> It would certainly cause the constituents of these regimes to reconsider their support of the leaders.

How can we be certain of that? I think many people drastically underestimate the number of people who a) don't care b) are invested in the regime c) gullible d) care, but won't do anything because they don't want to rock the boat, e) care, want to rock the boat, but won't because protesting is still not without some danger.

Yes, sure, other political parties would do whatever they do. Does that work? Not really. (Maybe over long-long periods of time.)

> When Google/Apple remove these apps from their stores, they're directly taking action to further the oppression.

Agreed. Yet it's close to meaningless to look at it in a vacuum. Their choices are a) comply, don't even put up a fight, b) comply, try to exhaust legal options, b) stop doing business there.

I'm asking how to weigh those. What's best for the people of Pakistan. What's best for this particular vulnerable/oppressed group? What's best for all people?
I have a copy of that book near me. For a very long time, Moto would send docs out for the mere asking. Free of charge. I got mine as a high schooler. Didn't use the mail though. Instead, I visited a local Moto office and they handed me the ones I wanted and I got to talk chips with the people there for a while.

For a small town kid interested in all this stuff, that made quite an impression. Instant Moto fan.
Agreed, yes, conditions for workers have improved over the years. Being a good boss has become harder as the bar has been raised. Good.
That's what happens when you centralize silicon production to a few players. Integrated circuits are a requirement for modern life. Every country should have its own fab, even if not competitive, to cover its own needs during shortages like these. What if the shortage was longer and more severe? Are people living in smaller countries willing to go without electronics?

I hope people will learn from this.
NDAs are wonderful things.
Try freelancing. You get almost all of the perks of being employed minus the downsides, you can leave whenever you want, the pay is better and you can ignore most of the corporate bs. You will have to take out your own health insurance and you should save like a squirrel to ensure continuity in case of mishap.
The things that are covered in first chapters of flight theory textbook for pilots, but which confound otherwise very knowledgeable laymen, can be summarised as close to all of them ;)
great question. Organizations such as the American Cancer Society will help out occasionally with treatment. If you qualify for medicaid/medicare, you can get some treatments that way. Your doctor could try and get you into trials that are funded and cover the cost of treatment.

At the end of the day though, there are many that fall through the cracks of our healthcare system. And that sucks.
To be honest, you approached this problem pretty badly.
Is it unfair? I've done this with ATMs before and never had much problem. There are a lot of ways to signal information besides raw text.
It'll be really interesting if stock comp plans start ditching board approval as a requirement to sell exercised shares. If I remember correctly, the invention of SecondMarket is was brought about making that term standard.

We're currently in a prolonged startup bull market, with tons of liquidity. I'm sure many VCs, either as a way to buy more or to get in on a hit deal, will use secondaries to increase their position. I wonder what the appetite for companies to allow this behavior in a tighter startup market.
Chip is fairly common nowadays in the USA.

Fraud liability was shifted from card brands to retailers if they don't support chip. That was a big deal to start supporting it.
> How about... OP waits until there are actual results before posting?

It seems to me there's value in posting the details before the results are in:

- Helps prevent publication bias, by encouraging posting negative results

- Elicits comments from knowledgeable people who may be able to help

- Discourages doctoring the story after the results are in

> Even fewer can make a safe vaccine.

I don't know, the article, whitepaper, and comments seemed to make a pretty convincing case for the nasal vaccine attempt here to be not very dangerous - probably useless at worst. Do you have a more substantive counterargument?
FCC Imposes New Req's on Nonmarketing Prerecorded Calls to Residential Lines
ARM32? I would disagree. I've had occasion to do reverse engineering and hand-assembly of various bits of ARM32 Thumb code recently. It brought back all the feels of hand-assembling 6502 on my Apple //e in 1994. Moreso even than AVR assembly. The ARM32, 6809, and 6502 are all cut from the same cloth. Same type of vehicle, just more cylinders.

ARM64 and RISC-V I would agree are very different beasts. One of the key differences I feel, is that caching and pipelining become much more important on these systems. Most (not all) ARM32 systems have very simple and short pipelines, and no cache. E.g. Cortex-M3 and -M4.
I’ve been considering using my 3060 Ti for this due to it. But electricity here in Aus is kind of painfully expensive, so I dunno if it’s worth it.

You're first point is well taken looking back now.

That being said, I didn't wait until my exit interview to raise hell, I mean, the alarm.

The most frustrating thing to me is that you, the patient, had to ask the doctor who is supposed to help you coordinate your care about one of the most important pieces of the puzzle that was still pending after your procedure.

All of the view alerts, the notifications, reminders, people involved in your care, fancy computer systems, read backs, none of that prevented the potential delay in your treatment. It could have been months before someone noticed and said "hey, we should probably get you into treatment."
Why are Pakistani people dismissive of arguments for support for Ahmedis? Sure, it might be ultimately their own making, but how much of that is the product of brainwashing by certain rival groups trying to gain power? It seems the people are just as much trapped in this, even if they don't realize. (Like the QAnon cultists in the US. And there's a very big political party in the US basically cheering them on for very-very-very short sighted goals.)

People ought to know better, people have the responsibility to better themselves, their thought patterns, their reasoning, refine their worldview ... but if their ability to do so is already thin, it's hard to blame people, since - it seems - they had very little power to act responsible.
