You can do this with sound. A hybrid system even better.

I built tech ~10 years ago to track quiet, sound emitting objects in real time to sub CM resolution using microphone arrays. And in one demo I even had a laser pointer mounted on a 2 axis.... "swinging thingie" (sorry, I'm not a mech-E) which would constantly stay pointed on the loudest object in the room, as it moved. Fun stuff. Creepy even.

Shame I never found a use or a buyer for the tech. :/

EDIT: I bet an improved hybrid one would use sound to get within the right 1-2cm, with a zoom camera mounted on the pan/tilt apparatus to get it even more accurate.
I mean you are free to believe whatever you want, but, unless you also believe that it’s a large secret conspiracy to fill the important positions with incompetence just in time for a crisis (or to create a crisis down the road), you’re going to have a tough time explaining similar disasters that show similar behavior from your fellow man.

At most you can say that greed causes leaders to promote and hire this kind of person, but that’s a tenuous argument in my opinion. The real world observation of WW2, the Milford experiments, Stanford prisoner experiments, Asch conformity experiments, and so many cases of corporate malfeasance, at least to me, show pretty directly that people like Allan McDonald are the exception. The reason also makes sense to me. Social conformity, if you’re in the “in” group yields a lot of benefits and being in the “out” group has a lot of costs. You’re talking not just about societal conformance pressures through things like being a pariah at work or being passed over for promotion. This can be personal pressures where you suddenly have financial pressures you didn’t have before because no one is willing to give you a break. You’ve got your family either putting pressure on you to ease their lives or your own guilt that your family is paying a price for your actions. To withstand that is a minority of people, like those who have strong support from family and trusted friends for whom the societal bonds aren’t as important.
It's media critique, it's not saying that everyone in the world is beautiful and unaroused, just that the way the world has changed has led to media showing beautiful people that aren't horny, and how that affects our view of the world (and vice versa)
Wow. Where can I go to read more about all this? Especially the part about dunking on his VP?
Ok, good to know. Well, Julia doesn't have those problems – in the REPL, out of the box, type "\pi[TAB]" for the greek letter, etc. And not needing an explicit multiplication sign in some places also makes mathematical code look more like maths, e.g.

julia> 2π

This would protect people standing behind the bug, but if the system mistakenly identified an eye as a bug you would still be delivering a burning quantity of energy focussed on the eye.
tldr: Basically a defense of the Copenhagen interpretation, i.e. "You shouldn't speculate what is happening to things you can't measure."

(which is opposed to the "many worlds" interpretation, which basically boils down to "Assume the simplest possibility when discussing things you can't measure.")
In other countries, things not tied directly to a university's educational mission are still available, but as local community organizations. There are drama clubs, sports clubs, but available to the entire community, not just college students.

There is no reason why the state should spend its educational subsidies on funding auxillary recreational activities solely for the benefit of university students when a good GPA is not necessary to recreate, nor do university students have a greater need of recreation than anyone else.

This is the norm in every company I've been in. It's infuriating.

Like with anything underground/dark.

If there is a open and clear way to it, it is no longer underground/dark web.

I bet they are a very paranoid circle, though.
Pure speculation, but:

Things suck by default. You have to make them better. So websites especially at the scale of Amazon aren’t automatically fast. Work (i.e. $$$) has to be dedicated to it.

Continuing with the hypothesis that Amazon ruthlessly “optimizes” for a specific goal (not necessarily “optimizes” their code,) the conclusion would be that Amazon found that a faster website does not in fact lead to more sales.

Or it did lead to more sales, but not enough to justify the cost of making the website faster.
Currently, you can copy links and view the videos on the web. You can't organize the videos in folders like Loom, though. Our goal is to facilitate a far more seamless back-and-forth collaboration.
You can't, you have to be galactic citizen and do the right thing or best we end up like the Borg.

If you want to remain true, you have to have FU money and know where that line is. Some peopled don't need that moral cushion, others do, it isn't a value judgement. We need to construct a world where Allan McDonald's can flourish.

I just don't see how one could argue that "exclusive Right" means anything other than exclusive. The intent behind the copyright clause is that when authors have exclusive control over their work, they will be incentivized to produce more. When you start carving out exceptions to their exclusive right, well then it's open season on what control they have, as "exclusive" can no longer be interpreted as to mean the plain understanding of the word.

Let's move away from the Dr. Seuss example and look at another instance of where artists have used their exclusive right to restrict distribution of their work. In 2015 the Wu Tang Clan produced a single copy of their 7th album "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin". The album itself then went on a tour of its own and was showcased at museums until it was eventually sold to the infamous "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli for $2 million. The contract he had to sign included the following genius clause:

"The buying party also agrees that, at any time during the stipulated 88 year period, the seller may legally plan and attempt to execute one (1) heist or caper to steal back Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, which, if successful, would return all ownership rights to the seller. Said heist or caper can only be undertaken by currently active members of the Wu-Tang Clan and/or actor Bill Murray, with no legal repercussions." [1]

The legend behind this album has now birthed a forthcoming Netflix documentary [2]. So here is a situation where the author's exclusive control over their art has birthed not just a documentary, which is art, but a legal document which I would classify as art. None of this would be possible in a world where an author's exclusive copyright doesn't exist or could be infringed if they choose to restrict distribution of their work. So I would disagree with your conclusion that it's hard to claim that restricting the distribution of work doesn't "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts".

Now if only we had some sort of... protocol... that would allow for us to exchange text based documents from different "servers" that each individual content creator is able to control and interlink with other "servers" via some kind of address based referencing system embedded in those documents. That would allow us to discover content and decentralize from platforms like Youtube...
If the offering is announced and expected the price impact will be lower than surprise-selling. And companies at-the-market offerings aren't exactly unheard of.
I forget the source of this, but I read that it was by design. It was understood that inconsistent censorship and oppression was actually more effective than the consistent type.

Knowing exactly what you are not allowed to say can be comforting: You trust in the rules and there is no reason to be afraid.

Add in inconsistencies and suddenly this comfort is removed. It adds an extra layer of uncertainty and fear to everything. Two people can say the same thing and only one disappears. No one knows where the line lies. It's a nasty psychological game and quite sick and twisted actually.

Unpopular Opinion on HN.

This is hard. And sort of force everyone into the same bracket of privacy. As a contrarian, I actually want to know returning visitors ( It doesn't even need to be 100% accurate ). Right now, Tech uses privacy as a word for anonymous. In a real world analogy, the current privacy definition means I would be intruding my customer's privacy if I recognise the same customer coming into my coffee shop everyday during roughly the same time ordering the same latte with Oat milk.

I dont need to know who they are, and I shouldn't be able to buy what ever set of Data to match their profile or be able to sell my data for others to match him/her. Which is what I think is wrong with current tracking and adtech. But knowing my customers should not be it.
You don't have to wait a year for 6.2. 6.2 will be released immediately, and also the initial bugfix releases (e.g. a future 6.2.1, or most recently 6.0.1). Only once a particular version branch is declared LTS do additional bugfix releases become commercial-only - with 6.x, that means the next feature release (and perhaps even bugfix releases for that) will most likely be already available by the time an older branch goes LTS.

Additionally, Qt changed its approach to bugfix commits to go to dev first and then get backported, so even if a distro is stuck on an older version branch in LTS mode, critical fixes will be available publically and can likely be backported manually.

Overall the change to the LTS support strategy isn't amazing, but it's impactful mainly to 5.15.x since it's LTS and the transition to Qt 6 will take some time. Once the transition is over I suspect it won't be a significant issue however.
> This cinematic trend reflects the culture around it. Even before the pandemic hit, Millennials and Zoomers were less sexually active than the generation before them. Maybe we’re too anxious about the Apocalypse; maybe we’re too broke to go out; maybe having to live with roommates or our parents makes it a little awkward to bring a partner home; maybe there are chemicals in the environment screwing up our hormones; maybe we don’t know how to navigate human sexuality outside of rape culture; maybe being raised on the message that our bodies are a nation-ending menace has dampened our enthusiasm for physical pleasure.

This stresses me out as a young and not sexually active millennial. What do we do as a society to improve some of these trends? Do we want to? What do I do as an individual to change my individual situation?

"A 1-phase transmission line needs 2 conductors"

Right, but for many single phase installations a ground/earth return is often employed. This often simplifies things and saves a lot of infrastructure costs.

Whether it's single or 3-phase, calculating the coupling efficiency will, at best, only be a rough guesstimate unless great care is taken to accurately collect and collate all physical and electrical parameters. Not only will interline coupling be relevant so will the fact that three phases are involved and we'd have to take into account standing waves etc. (mind you at 50/60Hz the wavelength is enormous (thousands of kms) so the transmission line effect is likely be trivial at the local level - see note).

I reckon this article deliberately avoided the transmission line/multiphase effect to avoid that controversy or complicatlation.

__

PS: ignoring the transmission line velocity factor and ground effects, the wavelength at 60Hz is 5000km and it's 6000km at 50Hz; therefore the first voltage maxima (lambda/4) will, in both instances, only ocurr at over a thousand km from the source. Standing wave effects due to the presence of three phase will reduce this but it's still a big distance - too big to have much of an effect to vary much over a single farmer's land.

The solution therefore would be to calculate the various vectors for any given point on the line (here, at any area on the farmer's land and take that as constant for calculating the coupling to the secondary (pickup) inductor). It seems to me the most practical way would be to just measure the field strength empirically or to look up the various tables and monographs readily available in power engineering.
Cute article, but may I.offer a simple alternative? Movie makers want to appeal to viewership in homes where there are children, and younger audiences in general. You can't show much nudity or direct sexual themes to minors. That of course doesn't explain why the house in Poltergeist was more normal looking, but that point isn't really bolstered by too much else.
Bufferbloat may be solved, but it’s not over yet (2020)
Also, it is "Romanian" not "Soviet". While Romania was a part of the Warsaw pact they were more open to western countries than the rest of the soviet block.
Maybe he can clarify. I don't want to assume he meant "not equals" but thats what I found on google
There's another part to this story I remember hearing, that there is a way to measure of impedance? capacitance? in this powerline to detect where the coil is. anyone now how that works?
I've played that a bunch of times this afternoon -- and succeeded in beating it in a few games.

I've been able to grab a few of its pawns early in the game. (I think its weakness is it assigns a low priority to protecting pawns. Or maybe it isn't able to look ahead far enough to see that I've got two attacks on the pawns instead of one.) It also didn't seem to be able to anticipate a "discovered check." It's good at setting up forks -- although at least once it forked me and then when I'd moved my King, didn't take the other piece!
They've lost their passion, they're just doing it for a paycheck :(
It's very much a deliberate metaphor.
I think this is why British crime dramas / police procedurals seem to feel more real (to me, raised in a post-colonial country) - very few people look like temporarily financially embarrassed models slumming it as detectives.
Basic respiratory physiology: one of the functions of the nose is to increase the humidity of the inhaled air to close to 100%. Breathing through the mouth defeats this apparatus. Whenever a patient has their upper airway bypassed due to a medical procedure (such as intubation), we use a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) or a humidifier.

I run with a surgical mask during cold weather because it acts as a poor man’s HME.

Haven’t we learned by now that the “I have the secret of X that only I can tell you” is almost always bullshit.

Yes, ideally a kid will learn basic stuff in 50 hours. What happens when he doesn’t?

My son is a super smart kid, way smarter than I am. But he struggled to read at first... his teacher helped him immensely with different strategies to get him on the reading train. Now, we can’t get him to put books down.

The Gatto stuff is appealing but relies on a false assumptions. There was never a time when we were all yeoman farmers reading great literature on our own or in self organized study groups. There was never a time where every kid had the family life they deserved, with enough food, present parents, nobody struggling with drugs or alcohol, etc.

Gatto has good points, but frames them in fantastical bullshit.
Exactly. Many people prefer text messaging to phone calls because it’s faster and integrates with the rest of your life.

That's post fact. He blew the whistle before and very publicly.

This event almost doesn't matter because he didn't care he would have gotten demoted - he was driven by being able to do the right thing.

I believe there's a moment before he doesn't sign off on the launch or maybe just before he speaks out against his employer in front of the presidential commission... what will happen to me? what will happen to my family, 4 children? What work will I do? How do I make money? this is all I know...

If you've ever worried about your future, job prospects, the unknown, the fear of not being able to provide, these thoughts are heavy. He made this decision and would gladly make it again regardless of outcome.

I wish I could say the same for myself.

But I do know about software design in general.

So I can imagine, that a very well designed, modular hacker weapon by the NSA is something they value and want to keep for themself.

But having the whole world know how your tools run? Sounds like a nightmare. Because that allows for detection.

I had to laugh at this. I went on a meal replacement drink (Aussielent) for a while for all meals, and I vividly remember for the first time in my life, I dreamt of eating a juicy hamburger. It was like some oasis in a desert, and that burger was all I thought about the next day
Consulting jobs tend to come about through one's network of business contacts. Most of the consulting gigs I've picked up came by way of people I had worked with previously, or knew through the technical communities I've been involved in. It always helps to let people know what sort of project's you're interested or curious about. Consulting can be a great way to get paid to learn more about a topic you're interested in, but it can take some time to find the right match (which needs timing, project fit and financial fit). The more consulting you do, the better known your services will become.
This equivalent of "RTFM" is a hostile percept for communication, as it implies that it is right to hide or obfuscate relevant information so that the speaker has less of a job to do when producing clear speech.

There are benefits to "RTFM". They may involve making sure there are shared assumptions during speech that allow further speech to be economized equitably between speaker and receiver. They may involve the internalization of the structure of a model so that they it be applied fluently in some practical setting. Your suggestion fails to satisfy either condition as the cost is either inequitable, or the benefit is irrelevant.

Putting a tag that says "moderator" next to a username is such a cheap quality of life improvement that even if what you claim is true, it really shouldn't be the job of the audience to figure anything out in the first place, as by comparison, it looks like a strong disfavor.
> Isn't it so that when the max current flows in one direction in one conductor it will flow in the opposite direction in the other one? So what you can steal is determined by d1^2 - d2^2 where dn is your stealing coil's distance from conductor n?

There are two wires because of Kirchoff's current law -- if the current goes out in one direction, it has to come back somehow. There are "single wire earth return" systems that use the ground as the return wire, for better or for worse.

If you replace d^2 by d^-2 in your equation, you'll be closer. Although, as noted in the OP, the magnetic field around a wire is proportional to distance^-1.
Right. This is an example of the dumbest kind of NFT. It's not even a signed original, it's just a token that says "You own the thing!" but for a resource that anyone could download anyway and ownership isn't tied to use or display. It's about what I expect from Jack.

At least with cryptokitties, love em or hate em, the NFT was the character and the permission, so while anyone could admire your cat nobody but you could publish actions from it.
I think people with this kind of integrity are very few in general. Being HN participant does not really increase the chances. Might even be the other way around as being smart asses it is easier for us to come up with the reason to keep our conscience quiet.

I do not think it has anything to do with "move fast and break things" way of doing things though. You can't expect the same approach and investment in safety in generic company vs some nuclear power plant or likes.
The fastest LoRaWAN data rate specified in the US is Data Rate 13 LoRa: SF7 / 500 kHz: 21900kbit/s.

Even dropping outside of the highly restrictive LoRaWAN specification and going with the fastest physical parameters available for LoRa on the 900Mhz bands (on-time restrictions aside), BW500 (500kHz bandwidth), Spreading Factor 6, Coding Rate 4:5, you end up with 35700 baud.

You can drop these modems into 2FSK mode and increase speed, but at that point the range isn't particularly appealing.

Regardless, the point stands: not a mesh network WAP internet redux, an IoT tool.
