The Blue Yeti is an okay mic, but is a little pricey for what you get and also buys you into some other stuff you may not want to spend the money on, like a bit of a heavier-weight arm, etc. to be close to one's mouth. It's also a little sensitive for spoken word and while it can sound great in a treated room it's not great for conferences or untrained users due to its habit of picking up a lot of ambient noise through untrained positioning or habits (drumming on a desk, that sort of thing).

Most folks I know recommend the Samson Q2U or the Audio Technica ATR2100 instead as easy mics to deal with for untrained users; shameless plug, but I wrote an article for Mux about this not long ago which explains in some depth why one mic may be preferable to another for untrained users: https://mux.com/blog/zoom-like-you-mean-it-1/
It’s not insider information. You might consider it material non-public information, which you can’t trade on in Europe, but in the US insider trading has a much more narrow definition: roughly it has to come from the insiders of the company. If your friend at Microsoft tells you that they won some massive contract, you can’t trade on it. If you overhear that news in a café, you can. If your friend at the government tells you they’re going to agree on a big contract with Microsoft, I don’t know if you’d be allowed or not but if you weren’t allowed I don’t think it would be insider trading.

Anyway, that obviously isn’t legal advice. And I agree that people should expect legislators to act with high integrity, but that’s not really how they vote.
i feel like maybe there is some game to be played here: create some escallating tiers of sponsorship, keep trying to invite & incentivize companies to support higher & higher tiers, one up each other. play your industrialists against each other to... dare i say... virtue signal. in this case, given who we are trying to tap, i think perhaps that concept & idea may be ok, may be an accurate description. for once.
Fortunately I have an office I was able to more or less stage manage. You're right that in a lot of circumstances virtual backgrounds will still be better than reality.
Is there a serious assumption the US would risk an all out war for Taiwan?

I didn't dive deeply into this data, but it doesn't sound like we even need to find 536 idealists. If you sort by number of trades descending, it becomes less than mine very quickly (I buy 4 mutual funds once a month, automatically). If you sort by value of trades descending, it looks like there are only a handful of officials with any meaningful amount of money in the stock market. (For some value of meaningful; there is an example in there about a $50,000 trade, and it just doesn't seem like very much money to me. 50 million dollars, get out that microscope. $50,000? Doesn't change anyone's life, so not really worth being corrupt for.)
> every device that maintains a copy of the chain.

Of the full chain. You can run a Bitcoin full node in pruned mode, only using the most recent 5GB, with more or less the same security. (A 3-day chain reorg would be needed to reduce the security of your full node.)

It does make it take longer to set up a pruned node, though.
As I understand it, ants and other similar it's like bees don't have a hierarchical structure that issues orders. Instead they follow quasi-baked in behavioral patterns and pheromone signals provided by peers.

I would prefer a 2-core CPU, when Oracle Enterprise Databases run around $24k/core after discount, and SQL Server Enterprise runs around $15k/core.

From single-core performance and low core count, Intel appears to be the better choice.
I guess it shouldn't be doing that? I mean, that also breaks in the case where you're running something like dnsmasq as your local resolver, which will also require 127.0.0.1 in your resolv.conf.

As much as I'm not always comfortable with the larger complexity, the CoreDNS pod really needs to be doing something like the flowchart described in the article. If systemd-resolved or NetworkManager are in play, it should be using D-Bus to talk to them to get the information it needs.

resolv.conf is an old idea that is too inflexible for today's DNS needs; a more complex solution with more complex interface is unfortunately warranted here.

It depends on the text of the regulation, it may be written in a way that bans all uses not explicitly allowed, which I believe is common for EU regulations.
To be honest I hate all of the aforementioned programs trying to battle over /etc/resvolv.conf. That's why by default I have the file marked as immutable, and pointing to 127.0.0.1. This way I cannot have accidental DNS traffic leaking. If I need local network DNS I send a manual dhcp command to get the wifi's DNS and add it temporarily to my dnscrypt config. Similar thing for VPN DNS.

I have designed/coded two redundant systems before.

First one is super complex redundant router done by 100+ engineers. All TCP states, BGP states, complete configurations were replicated to backup CPU. If the primary failed, power off, etc, the standby will take over, etc. When the failed unit comes backup, it become the new stanby. Demo works fine, but the company sold just 1 system for $200K. The company did sold for four hundred millions. It paid off my mortgage.

2nd is relatively simple done by me in 3 weeks including testing, etc. It is a system convert 48 channels digital MPEG streams to analog NTSC signals for analog cable plant such as Comcast. Xilinx power PC running linux. All configurations were sync. Auto switch over on power off, network disconnect, etc. The system can detect all failure conditions in 50 milliseconds. Very cool to demo - if you blink your eye and you will miss the system failure over event. Support in service SW upgrade - update backup to new SW, sync config over, force switch the primary and update the new backup to new SW with ZERO downtime.

The product was very successful - only one firmware bug found after two years in the field. Sold $100 millions+ to various cable companies. But the VC air drop a "professional CEO" and "scale" the company from 16 people to 300+ people. Did two more rounds and manage to burn the company to the ground and sold it for pennies.

Redundant system design are not that hard and can be simple. It is best to remember KISS - "Keep It Simple Stupid".

While I disagree with the statement that there is nothing cool in the blockchain (as suggested by my article ;-)), I have made a critique of its actual practical value at: https://cirosantilli.com/cryptocurrency But I'm not an expert, do let me know if I have missed any key technological developments or benchmarks. So for now, I treat it only as art.
Doesn't the existence of blogs and Q&A sites like Stackoverflow indicate that current approaches to documentation are failing to deliver. I think there's more to the rise of cut & paste development than simply a lack of skill or a lack of time. The volume of state in some software systems is simply too great to put down in a linear document. Indeed the number of branches in state maybe too great to represent in any meaningful way or in any timeframe that's practical.

If you look at a framework like Django. The documentation is generally considered excellent. However now there is simply so much stuff that many complex things get only a cursory treatment. So everybody heads over to SO to find the question that is the closest fit to theirs.

I am not sure what would be better or indeed if there is any solution to this. The framework here layout a multidimensional approach with tutorials to get started and reference to follow up with. However creating documentation systems with that level of complexity is an enormous task and for anything of any quality, an enormous cost.

So what's the answer? I'm not sure there is one.

In all seriousness, if we are talking about privilege this privilege the ruling elite has to participate freely in insider trading behavior is bonkers. It likely just isn't the politicians themselves. Their staffers, confidants, and so on could all be benefiting.

If Presidents are goaded to put their assets in blind trusts when taking office why shouldn't principal members of the other two branches of governments be obliged to do the same?

> I'm a little confused on how you are interpreting the majority of your customers opting for discounted pricing as an indication that you should raise prices.

The way I see it, most customers are happy enough after a 30-day trial to commit to my product for at least a full year. That's a good signal for loyalty and the product being worth it for the price. While I agree that the discount aspect is a signal in the other direction, I think overall it looks like people will continue to subscribe even if it's pricier. That's why I'm leaning towards increasing prices. I don't know much about businessy things and I'm learning as I go, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

I've had some really good suggestions in this thread to talk to my most recent subscribers to really understand why they paid annually straight off the bat, so I'm going to do that first before taking any action.

This is a weird take on history, it contradicts directly what I was taught and understood to be true. The dust bowl was pretty bad but as far as I understood it there was very little fertility to much of the land in what we now call the USA, which is why life was difficult for the early European settlers.
TOTALLY!

A lot of the answers here commit the original sin of think SQL = RDBMS.

Expose the sql OF the rdbms is not ideal (security and all that), but none in this world say SQL demand to be the one of the rdbms.

You can create a SQL layer (alike GraphQL) that is "compiled" to calls that MAYBE are translated to a rdbms.

MAYBE.

If GraphQL is ok, sql is too.

I'm not a soccer person and only have a vague sense of what the offside condition is for that sport. It would be helpful to have a reference, even just the text of the rule, for making close call decisions.
There is a lot more to governance than expenditures and safety nets. I'm starting to think we've been in a free society in the west so long that people have simply overlooked the history of large governments stifling industry and life. Limited government is a very big thing in the West, even in countries with very generous social programs.

> Content from a site like Facebook cannot be moderated without causing harm to human moderators, and A.I. is not yet able to do the job.

It absolutely can - all you have to do is to discourage posting bad content in the first place by attaching actual consequences to breaking the rules.

Things like restrictions on new accounts such as limits on posting links, media, number of posts, etc until the account slowly levels up its trust level. This would protect both against spam from new accounts (as they aren't able to do any significant damage) as well as incentivizes people to not break the rules as to not lose their "leveled up" account. This worked very well for a decade on various forums often run by volunteers with near-zero budget.

The real problem is that unlike the forums of the good old days, Facebook's business model is not to provide a safe environment for quality discourse - instead it's to keep as many people "engaged" as possible - in this case banning rule-breakers is actually counter-productive, and is only done as a last-resort when their misdeeds are serious enough to become a PR risk for Facebook.

Their complaints about moderation being impossible is a sleazy attempt to make people accept this and for bad content to eventually stop being a PR risk, thus theoretically allowing them to completely do away with moderation and still earn ad revenue from bad/criminal content.

M-W considers itself a "descriptive" dictionary, not a "prescriptive" dictionary. That means that it will tell you what people who use words mean to say, but it will not tell you the actual meaning of the words. Therefore it is absolutely NOT a standard reference for English.

The nuance is sometimes important, M-W was the first dictionary to give "figuratively" as a definition for the word "literally" due to the way some people use the word "literally" online.

But there was more: by claiming that the Renaissance—and all its glittering art and innovation—was caused by individualism, Burkhardt was really advancing a claim about the nature of modernity.

All the text is an ellaborate argument against this. He's framing it as if it's a historic simplification to promote this value.

Why is it a fallacy? Because Renaissance was brought by a number of factors and several of them had in common that they were more on the individualism side than what existed in the middle ages.

So what does he does to undermine this wide consensus? He invents some conspiration to appropiate Renaissance spirit, idealize it and use it to promote some agenda. That's called projection, BTW.

Middle ages weren't so bad? In what sense? If you take it to mean material life conditions, it could be right. But it was a millenium with an oppresive military/theocratic system that for the most part stalled all progress in the western world.

When the civilization started to get rid of that yoke of course it caused bloodbaths, revolutions and all kind of disasters.

Question is, would have been it better to keep the old regime around?

You don't need a professional camera for this. There are a few apps like Camo[1] or NeuralCam Live[2] that let you use a smartphone as your webcam for a much better image quality than most webcams. Just get a phone clip with a flexible arm to mount it on your screen.

Note that since they create a custom webcam device, these programs don't always work with native videoconferencing apps (check their websites for a list of supported apps). A common workaround is to use the platform's browser-based call interface, where the virtual webcam usually shows up without issues.

I wish I had a glorious comeback story about how I got fired and then got a job at Google making $500k/year and completely disrupted the tech industry with my insane coding ability and work ethic. In reality at first I was happy that my suffering at the previous job was over, but later on it crushed my confidence and caused me to be very depressed for a very long time. I took a massive pay cut because I was desperate for any dev job but couldn't clear any of the interviews with companies that paid a decent salary. I still dread getting fired (again) every single day at work, even if there's no indication that I'm doing a bad job. I'd like to believe one day I'll fix my mental problems and come back here to write that glorious comeback story.

> I can sell a house faster than I can get out of a lease.

Closing on a house = pain. You have inspections, appraisal, loan applications, contingencies, counter offers, staging, open houses, closed showings, and at least an entire day of signing papers. It takes nearly a month on average to close on a house. That's not a passive month either. If you're selling, you'll need to vacate your house for showings at whatever day and time is convenient for the buyer. And if you're moving to another house you get to do this twice. I've found an apartment, signed a lease, and moved in in a single weekend before.

You can also find leases shorter than 12 months. And if your landlord isn't a total jerk (or some giant faceless private equity company) then you can usually talk to them as reasonable adults do. Even better if you have a potential replacement lined up for your rental. Breaking a lease isn't a crime. You can do it, if you need to.

Things have almost certainly improved at least on some platforms. I do wear wireless headphones (but use a wired mic) for critical recording situations. But, yeah, tons of the people I have on my often hours of calls a day are not wearing headphones/earbuds and I just don't hear the problems that the "never use speakers" folks raise.

And I've never used Teams. Combination of Bluejeans, Google Meet, and Zoom mostly.

If I were this rogue speaker person ruining things for everyone else wearing headsets, I'd maybe accept that I was a general problem. But that's just not what I see.
