Base model ID.4 SUV for approximately $33,000 (price taking US government tax break into account. $39,995-$7,500) is getting very close to that. A mid-20's priced EV would be amazing but low 30's is starting to get within range of a lot of people (and it ends up being nearly $10,000 less than nearest competitor Tesla's Model Y... best price I could find was $41,290... which sadly no longer qualifies for the same tax break. If it did I would probably say the Tesla is a better deal).

This is basically the "flipped classroom model", which I like a lot.

The slowest modem I ever had the pleasure of using was 9600 baud, but even at that rate, it was way too fast for me to actually comprehend that there was a series of high and low tones representing bits.

Back in college, we had acoustically-coupled TDD devices at most payphones on campus - you'd pick up the handset, dial a number, and put it down on the coupler. Or you could just type on the coupler, and hear tones come out the speaker, at a blistering 45 baud. 45 baud is slow enough for your brain to process the different tones.

If you run minimodem as `minimodem --tx tdd`, you can hear the same thing yourself today, without the coupler.

Minus some further nifty hacks above 2400 baud, it was very convenient to think of modem breath as "the TDD tones, but much faster".

Yikes. I have a (Ubiquiti) EdgeRouter X that I previously used for a fiber setup (and it's shelved now because it doesn't like this ISP's modem), had planned to get a ER-4 later down the road. Been on the fence for any of their APs for months upon months, now I'm glad I bought neither.

Technically EdgeRouter gear is unaffected as it's very cloud-optional, but I can't bring myself to trust any firmware from them at this point. It supports OpenWRT so I guess I'll install it and go back to OpenWRT.

I see this thread already has people discussing alternatives, so I won't ask for ones -- just had to put it out there that if you own an EdgeRouter, chances are that OpenWRT has a build for it.

Yeah my few Unifi devices (and the controller SW instance) are already restricted to their own VLAN, but I'm going to disable outgoing internet access as well.
Just verifying my understanding: this will make it impossible to reach the device from ui.com or otherwise off-network, but an attacker could:

1. use leaked SSO keys to forge an SSO token

2. craft a malicious webpage

3. get an unsuspecting UDMP user (e.g., me) to navigate to that page

4. run scripts on that page that would access & interact with the UDMP from the browser within the network, using the forged SSO

Is this still a possible vector? Presumably UI would have rotated their SSO keys by now, but since there's no way to disable SSO-based login to the UDMP....
For any complex codebase, people will build their own sugar and that may differ in implementation so it depends whether that is a good idea.

>Every single social welfare program is "messing with the free market"

I mean, saying that a human life is worth something so you can't just treat people as expendable labor is "messing with the free market" technically, but thats a very low boundary. Social welfare addresses the lower tiers of income, specifically to aid people in basic needs of housing, food, healthcare and education. Those people aren't putting any significant money into the economy.

Unionization on the other hand is selective inflation of labor value in certain areas. Thats definitely messing with the free market. Didn't work for France very well, not going to work for US.

I run eth0.me - a similar service. This might be the IP lookup service with the shortest URL, which is the reason why I run it.

Some anecdotes:

-At the moment the service has 10 GiB of traffic/day. In February, there were 295 476 879 requests.

-Because the service returns only the IP address and nothing else, the requests are larger than the replies.

-At some point a russian ISP began querying eth0.me from (apparently) all of their eyeball routers. Thousands of devices from their address space would query this service every second, which resulted in many Terabytes of traffic monthly. I decided to block their address space.

This service was run by somebody else up until a few years ago. It became more and more unreliable and went offline. At some point I noticed that the domain had expired. I decided to buy it and run it myself.

Apple took the existing model and automated it. They didn’t invent it, it’s been around since RCA/Victor. Retail takes bigger cuts (Walmart used to get 60% from AV vendors).

I vividly remember being woken up by my dad returning from a squash match the surprise me with the set of poster paints and brushes I'd been dreaming of that cost 99c in Woolworths...

I'm no artist but when I had the desire to learn no obstacles would discourage me in my quest to afford materials and the process of obtaining a new watercolour book would take weeks and weeks I think the first third of school summer holidays actually.

now I'm wondering if I inadvertently lost interest in the impatience of adolescence...

but access to incredible artists materials is equally amazingly nearly ubiquitous in the western world along with peak uninstructed leisure time for young people to dabble but unfortunately not study and practice and master their tools in the dedicated way I remember absolutely everyone who had aspirations applied themselves in my youth.

by no means do I mean to hand waving dismiss the younger generations for laziness, but the economic realities are radically different from the seventies and maybe we haven't culturally adjusted quite yet to the increase in availability of purported artwork which might have formerly been graded as something less. Certainly the self regarding high social status of the art world at the time I was growing up excluded too many worthy creative talents from serious consideration, but that seems to have flip flopped to most liberally apply the glaze of authenticity over a entirety of output with unclear to me discrimination.
There are great tool trying to do virtual gatherings.

> and my response is "why would you ever need to know that?"

The author wants to know, so this is simply the wrong question. I agree with the author that it is strange that a quantity which is in principle easy to compute behaves in such an unreliable way. It makes designing stuff more an iterative instead of a first-time-right experience.

Also, if you specify X and get Y instead, then that is a way for websites to fingerprint your browser, which is another reason to make the computation more reliable.

> It's ok for apps to look different on different platforms.

We've been all in the situation where you designed something for device A and it looks off when viewed on device B. A word that wraps in the wrong place, or a button that is 1px taller than the button next to it, etc. More control over what is shown in the browser is always better. (Of course, a user should be able to override everything, but that is another matter entirely).
> To me, the frequency has become a "blob". It means nothing.

That seems reasonable across microarch versions, but presumably is totally reasonable within a product-release-cycle? i.e. to compare the FX-9590 to an FX-8350 based off clock speed. If it's the same core count and microarch, presumably clock is about the only difference, aside from other features like PCIE lanes, cache, etc.

> Virtually nobody uses font-only zooming.

I don't know how you can claim this. I have set up multiple computers for elderly people and taken advantage of that feature. Heck, I have taken advantage of that feature on devices with weird aspect ratios like the older Surface Pros.

> It cannot be set as a percentage of viewport size using HTML/CSS, that doesn't exist as an option in font-size

What?

font-size: 1vw;

> If the browser sets a minimum font size, that too is ultimately in px.

This is being pedantic. If a user or a parent container is setting the font size, that is clearly a different scenario then setting it in the container itself.

If you're going to go down this route we might as well claim that browser fonts are set based on physical pixels as well, since ultimately the browser resizes its internal representation of pixels based on the device aspect ratio.

> it's just a matter of developer preference.

I don't know any experienced developer who writes CSS for a living that would claim this. Pixel-based CSS files are a nightmare to maintain when nesting components, this makes a tangible difference to how you architecture your CSS files.
I don't know how you can confidently compare (post-war) China and the U.S. this way. No doubt the U.S. has some degree of corruption, but surely we can recognize that corruption isn't a binary and indeed China is in a different corruption ballpark than the U.S. Similarly, you listed a handful of names of citizens who were killed by the U.S. government and indeed these are tragedies, but how long do you reckon the complete list is, and how does it compare to China's? So if you're only here to argue that the U.S. is imperfect, I don't think anyone here disagrees--no one has argued that the U.S. is perfect in this thread, and indeed I began it with an admission of U.S. imperfection. But I don't see how anyone can contend that the gap between these countries is small.
