That depends on what the risk is. If the risk is to the credibility or business model or relationships of the $80bn core business, then sure, the big company absolutely must be more conservative. On the other hand, if only a tiny fraction of that $80bn is needed to underwrite losses from your skunkworks' niche product taking too long to launch, lack of rapid uptake isn't an existential threat (even if the project gets canned, most of the team will still have jobs and they might even keep the profitable part of the project alive) and resources can be shared with other areas of the business, there are other risks that are easier to take.

> they can't get to the next level of scale because they can't solve yield issues and they can't solve those because they can't get higher volumes

I really doubt that theory, either. This world has just way too much money completely idle waiting. It would be extremely easy for them to get really big money if they really had anything that would be world-changing.

The problem is that, once you really look into it, there is absolutely nothing in eInk that is world changing.

Consumers have problems distinguishing the supposedly better contrast from cheap reflective+monochrome LCD displays (like the Pebble or stuff sold in amazon for $10 these days). But they can easily recognize it the moment the slow refresh comes in. So your average customer only sees disadvantages and high price. They will choose reflective LCD any day over pure eInk. And thus all use cases where eInk might have succeeded are perfectly covered with plain old reflective LCDs (e.g. week-long battery life, primarily outside use such as smartwatches).

So your only other benefit about eInk is the passive power usage when not refreshing. Which is why they are making some in-roads into this type of market, e.g. sales price tags, signs, etc.

But consumer market? There is just no interest whatsoever from consumers. None whatsoever. Only a handful of geeks know what benefits eInk brings over reflective LCDs (angles, polarity), and out of them only a handful care enough about them to buy.

No, if you are trying to actually protecting someone, you don't end up isolating them nor controlling who they can talk to. Protection would be that the artist decides who she/he talks to and you enforce that. If you make those decisions and expect artist to comply, it is not protection anymore.

The penultimate paragraph points out some irony:

> Employment at will has always been a conservative ideology, so I’m a bit surprised to see support for it wane (but only for actors who hold privilege). Most employees are subject to the wrath of their employer if they tweet the wrong thing. Law firms habitually scour the social media of prospective hires. In fact, most of the country lives under the fear of being fired for saying the wrong thing. Given this economy, that has dire consequences. And many who scream about “cancel culture” equally decries workplace protections.
Weird way to make your point. At least you are calling them “wind turbines” instead of “windmills” now.
It's because these posts are late.

Do you know why "bash does [these things] natively"? Because zsh had them 20 years ago when bash was barebones and people were envious and over time bash started copying these features over. Sometimes poorly.

And for the "one line alias", in a bunch of cases it's with additional commands, which are not always available, the most famous example being rename.

Which rename? The binutils one (I think) or the Perl one (which has more features)?

Does your distro even package both?

Both Flutter and React will take the next UI frame and figure out what the diff is between the last frame and the next and only apply the difference. In React it’s called the shadow dom.

I did feel your pain when my last CRT died 5 years ago, but I got myself a good enough LG LCD[0] and am quite happy with it. I can't notice any motion blur, which is what always drove me mad while using lesser LCDs and no need to move my head to see the actual correct color.

What's wrong with using stolen hardware? I mean we could argue stealing is wrong, in which case we'd have to take a look at why people are stealing and from whom (partitioning of wealth) so we can find solutions.

If we're not looking at the root of the problem, then we're just complicating legitimate use cases. Preventing theft is only the official argument, but it doesn't stand any form of scrutiny: as long as there's inequality (i.e. incentives to expropriate people who have too much, to serve people who have too little) there will be theft.

The truth behind iCloud lock is Apple has been involved in mafia-style dealings with national mobile phone operators (which involved promises/contracts to sell millions of units), inundating the market with operator-sponsored iPhones, and they really don't want a second-hand market at all because they are a luxury brand.
> the keys have enough force to actively push back into position, which gives a great pressed/not-pressed response.

I'm not sure I understand this. How does a rubber dome keyboard not do this?

> The key travel distance should be about the same as a membrane keyboard

I must disagree. I've tested them side by side, and all the mechanical keyboards activate at at least twice the distance. (I've tried like 5 different ones, so not exhaustive, but still)

> activation happens at the midpoint, not the terminal point

I do know this, but it also irritates me. Why not just stop at the activation point? That should give you better feedback than trying to find the activation point somewhere in the middle.

> Please show me the meeting notes where vDL was decided to be the new Commission head. As far as I'm aware they aren't public, but I'd be very interested to read them as would many other people.

You are incorrect, Council minutes have been public since Lisbon (so for a decade now). https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/documents-publications/pu...

> The Commission has the exclusive power to propose changes to the law.

Yes, but those laws have no effect until both the Council and the Parliament accept them.

In many ways, it's similar to the fact that most governments (i.e. the executive) have practically exclusive powers to propose laws (as they'll have a majority by definition). I agree that it's not ideal, but things are trending in the right direction.

> That makes the non-Parliament worthless. There is no point in the so-called parties that populate this so-called Parliament having any policies because they can't do anything. In turn that makes so-called political campaigning also useless because there's nothing to campaign about. They can only rubber stamp the Commission's prior decisions. It's a fake Parliament which is why such a ridiculous proportion of MEPs are actually against the EU as an institution, something you don't find anywhere else.

So, from Wikipedia, it appears that approximately 130 of the 700 representatives are considered to be Eurosceptic. So that's about 18%. I think that's a fair reflection of the level of EU-scepticism across the continent.

> which is why such a ridiculous proportion of MEPs are actually against the EU as an institution, something you don't find anywhere else.

I'm going to make the assumption that you are British (apologies if this is not true). In the current UK parliament you have 47 SNP MP's, and 6 SF MP's. Neither of these accept the validity of the UK parliament, making that approximately 8% relative to the EP. This is lower, but definitely it's possible to have people like that (another good example would be the pro-separist parties in Catalonia).

> Where were they on vaccines then? The Council "decided" to give all the responsibility for that to the Commission. That's the general flavour of their decisions: give the Commission more power.

Speaking as a member of a small EU state, I'm glad the EU took on procurement as we would be in a much worse state otherwise. That being said, the Commission fucked up here, I don't think anyone denies it, but hopefully they will learn from this mistake.
> The general consensus is that

> Many believe that the difficulty in dealing with them

I already mentioned that... but is there any actual evidence? It's very easy to claim "oh but they're evil! they're so evil they hide their evil actions behind NDAs!". It's a textbook example of non-falsifiability.

But what I see from my side is a shitton of chinese manufacturers (not very well known for their respect of NDAs or trade secrets overall whatsoever). So I have a hard time believing such an accusation.
How about if I was a stay-at-home dad for a year? I haven't included that in my resume - I figured if I were asked I have no problem speaking about it, I'm actually super proud of it, it just doesn't strike me as something I should put in my list of experience.
The article hackaday links to [1], which has much more information, suggests it's running a "custom Amiga 1000 emulator and file system to allow users to explore the images themselves. The emulator even recreated the slow disk access and lag of the beloved Amiga."

They also talk of "a simulation of the GraphiCraft application"

To me this means it's not clear if it's even running a full Amiga emulator vs. just a skin deep simulation of Workbench and Graphicraft. If they were running an Amiga emulator they could have used the real deal.

I find it hard to believe you genuinely asked yourself this question and came up empty before posting this vacuous comment.
I am going to face such a project myself. I got a Minitel terminal (lovely, with a qwerty keyboard!) but if got badly smashed in transport and the CRT seal broke.

I'm not aware of any way to recreate the vacuum in the CRT (is there one?), so my option will probably be to get a 9" LCD and make a resin lens with a negative of the CRT's face (or detach and fill the implosion mask). To that I'll need to add a controller that can take the TTL RGB signals from the board and remove all the high voltage stuff before I fry myself.

A Trinitron replacement should be a bit easier to fake with a flexible (and large enough - that's the problem) OLED display.

Would a color LCD survive being bent in an oven?

I need to run just one command with bash: "bash command<Enter>".

I need to run just one command with cmd: "cmd /c command<Enter>".

These problems are trivially solvable :-)

Don’t forget that municipalities are counting on interest rates staying low so that assessed values of homes can stay high and property taxes remain high. If interest rates were to cut home values in half then numerous municipalities would face extremely hard decisions or even bankruptcy.

Interest rates have declined for 40 years. There is no reason to believe they will trend up long term. I don’t know if it ends in hyperinflation though as the number of people that can access the cheap money is limited.

I mean, they can afford it.

Their entire business model boils down to "exploit people's unrealistic expectations of themselves to make money". They obviously feel awkward about it, and they soften the blow a lot, which is to their credit, but at the end of the day this is where their money comes from.

> Additionally, the SEP data is stored separately from the OS (in one of the volumes of the first container). To wipe that, after wiping the partition and before reinstalling, run `xartutil --erase-all`.

I believe the "Erase Mac" function in Recovery Assistant also erases the SEP data, based on the output of `xartutil --list` before and after. If I'm correct about that, going through Recovery Assistant should be the recommended way to fully erase an M1 Mac (short of a DFU restore through Apple Configurator which also restores firmware).

On T2 Macs, `xartutil --erase-all` would wipe all SEP data, including the encryption keys used for the drive. In other words, it was the equivalent of a secure erase and was my recommended way to fully erase a Mac before resale. I suspect Recovery Assistant is just doing the equivalent of `xartutil --erase-all`, but I haven't tried `xartutil --erase-all` on an M1 because I'm afraid to brick the machine to the point of needing a DFU restore, and I don't have another Mac at hand to run Apple Configurator with right now.
> One of the major reasons people can’t overcome it is because we’re not very good at treating addiction in this country.

I am often wondering about how addiction "feels". I don't consider myself being addicted to anything, and always wonder how an addiction actually manifests itself. Is it a pain? Is it comparable to being extremely hungry or thirsty?

Slightly related: a few years ago, I overheard a conversation between a fairly large woman and a child. The child said that it was hungry. The woman said: "Oh yes, that hurts". That struck me as odd, because even after eating nothing for 1-2 days, I never actually felt pain when I was hungry. It was surprising to me that some people seem to do, and it would have certainly explained why the woman was so heavy: I, too, would of course eat much more if being hungry was painful.

> Hart presents himself as a model drug user. “I am now entering my fifth year as a regular heroin user,” he writes. “I do not have a drug-use problem. Never have. Each day, I meet my parental, personal, and professional responsibilities. I pay my taxes, serve as a volunteer in my community on a regular basis, and contribute to the global community as an informed and engaged citizen. I am better for my drug use.”

Anyone who has plumbed the depths of addiction either with a family member or personally has spoken this exact paragraph, potentially word for word. It's a rationalization for addiction, and honestly the most common and basic one.

Good luck to him as he descends through addiction. He's extremely educated and very assured of his self-perception so for him to hit Step 1: Realize you have a Problem, is going to be a lot harder than the average person.
> I think talent should be rewarded, doubly so if the person is a villain

Why doubly so, it is literally rewarding the bad behavior? A person that does not abuse people should be rewarded as much as those who do abuse them. And it seem to me that current culture or at least culture last twenty years was rewarding abusers more then non-abusers or their victims. And it just leads to more abuse.
When I left the UK 11+ years ago, I cancelled Sky, or so I thought. 6 months go by in another country, all my mail was redirected to my parents address in case I missed something. My parents got angry letters from Sky demanding payment, but I had already settled this before I left the country. Well, turns out they cancelled my TV subscription but was still charging me for Sky+ (ability to record). I'm not sure why it wasn't cancelled at the same time, surely when I told them I was moving to a different country as to the reason I was cancelling, I wouldn't need the Sky+ feature.
That looks perfect! Exactly what I need. Thanks!
