You can add o-ring on the stem to soften the bottoming out (varying stiffness), or you can go for super-light springs so there is minimal strength required for pressing. Or I've seen people adding neoprene foam to the plate for a softer bottoming out.
> This flow was designed to take advantage of the S3 trigger system and break each action into a small Lambda.

The email flows from S3 => Lambda => SES so the underlying design seems to prohibit sending of emails directly from SES.

It sounds like SES could still be used directly, but you then need to add in authorization and user management if you're accessing it externally.

It's a cool project and I can envision it being used for internal tooling for automated email notifications or something of that nature. Just doesn't seem practical for users.
I never thought that a luggage lock is a great theft deterrent.

It's useful that your luggage can't just be opened up quickly and on the sly. For example when you check a suitcase in by baggage handlers [1]

Same goes for hotel room safes. I would certainly not store anything very valuable in there. But to lock away a couple hundred euros, some equipment and your cards, which you don't need to carry on your person it's good enough.

Certainly much better than just having your valuables lying around openly.

[1] Sure, a baggage handler with a set of TSA master keys can open it very quickly and possibly discreetly. Who has ever thought about anything which can go wrong with that implementation?

I had the same experience. I bought cherry mx brown and on day 1, I thought I need to give it sometime to feel its superiority. I thought I am typing the wrong way and I need to relearn how much force I apply. There seems to be no consensus on how deep I should go. So I tried both bottoming out and till the bump. But I only feel the bump if I am focusing on it. If I go in work mode, I don't get any feedback and thus miss so many keys. I have been using it for 2 months and I feel it was waste of money.
the problem is just that you don't know when it's a good or bad timing, that's why you shouldn't bother and just put your money in. If your money is long enough in the market it doesn't matter anymore that much as it averages out. It also sounds that you think 15yrs is a long time, but for ETF you should consider more like 20yrs and up

I'm sure Disney would sue regardless of whether or not they had any right to, but as far as I can figure out, anyone could make NFTs of Disney's entire online movie catalogue and there'd be no copyright issues at all. Someone like Banksy or even just some random person off the street could make another NFT of "Disaster Girl" and sell it for the same price, and it's not clear to me that the original author could do anything about it.

It's worth hammering home over and over that the vast majority of NFTs are just a link. They don't carry any ownership rights at all, or any exclusivity rights. It's no different than pasting a link into a Facebook post.

Not OP, but I'll pitch in because I'm an old Slackware user (late 90s to late 2000s).

Slack was as close as you got to the system you would get if you compiled everything from scratch. Basically, you just had Pat do the package selection and compiling for you. Even the package manager was really just a script to compile the source package. That made for a really clean, simple setup and made it easier to get support for software directly from project forums or mailing lists. If you had an idea of the dependency graph, it was dead easy to troubleshoot because there was no package maintainer making choices that you (or the developer) didn't know about, which cannot be said for Debian.

I really liked it, but Linux got more complicated and I got more busy and eventually I just wanted a system with sane defaults and a choice of DE. Slackware is very opinionated about its package selection and developers have shifted to the reality of systemd so now it's sometimes more of a hassle to get a package working out of the box. As apt improved, I also had fewer issues with Debian, though its sometimes out-of-date repos are frustrating because apt makes compiling from source more complicated than it was on Slack.

If you want the Slack philosophy of close to upstream but the convenience of a modern distro, I think Fedora is the good choice, but I have a soft spot for Slack.

This is just my opinion, but I have not seen significant human changes that would influence gas emissions and storage. There is also a lack of consensus around the ultimate impact. [1] I am not comfortable with some of the proposed changes, such as Bill Gates wanting to dim the sun. That could also go horribly sideways and I have concerns about our ability to dial that back. There has also been an increase in volcanic activity which adds to the gas feedback loops and I am not sure how we address them or even begin to understand how that fits into the big picture. There are changes in ocean currents, some getting warmer, some colder and this releases CO2 in some places and allows for storage in others. Storage is slower than release. I believe we need more sensors around the world measuring much more than CO2.

I think consultancies do serve several purposes:

1. Indeed looking at the situation with fresh eyes. The people inside a business might not have the slack to rethink things, and are used to the way things are (German has a nice word there, "betriebsblind" = inured to the working methods of a company and therefore blind to their shortcomings).

2. Institutionalised industrial espionage, under the banner of "best practices".

3. Improving communication inside a company. Consultants can talk to people on the floor that know what they're doing (but are often ignored), and translate it and transmit it back to upper management levels. (Note that this is a best case scenario - there are consultants that take pride in interacting with the C-suite only.)

4. Professional scapegoat, to justify and sign off on whatever management actually wants to do ("We don't want to fire you, but the consultants said we have to, in order to save the company.")

I'd say some of these functions are actually benign, though some only to the executives that hire the consultants.

Thanks for pointing this out, I wasn’t aware.
An OS only takes a small part of the computer's overall storage.

Imagine you bought one of those high-capacity SSDs off AliExpress, and unbeknownst to you, what you got is a small flash drive in an SSD enclosure, cleverly preformatted to report it's 10x as big as it is.

You install your OS on this drive, and happily do your work, but then you start realizing that some files are going missing, even though you're sure you've saved them...

Something similar may be happening with the brain - perhaps the core compute runs on the surface layers, but that doesn't mean non-critical functionality isn't occupying the deeper parts, and a person with less of those parts may not realize they have decreased capacity.

False. Not when there is a monopoly or the cost is too big(do you need examples? or definitions?)

From what I've seen on youtube, pretty much every lock you see on a day to day basis is trivially bypassed. Unless you buy a fancy lock (and even then there is probably a way around it if you work hard enough), they act as a deterrent but if someone wants to break in or steal something they can whether it is a padlock or a door lock.
I've run similar calculations in an attempt to convince an acquaintance not to pull out their money when they "had a bad feeling" about something.

To me the takeaway isn't that "timing is critical for good returns" but that "you can't time good returns, so don't move all your money at once". You'll be investing over the years of your career and withdrawing over years of your retirement. Historically, it ends up working out.
> Google's Play Store or w/e it is on Android is the fox in the hen house. Google is one of the offenders that Apple is making disclose data collection practices! I don't think they situation is exactly comparable and it's different enough that the prior precedent may not be applicable.

You don't think that it's a a good comparison to compare the only other large scale play store which implements the exact behavior I'm talking about?

And googles bad behaviors, and Google does have bad behaviors, is irrelevant to this conversation.

> Yea until that becomes anti-competitive.

How would that be anti competitive?

> If you're sophisticated enough to want to side load apps, you're sophisticated enough to jailbreak your iPhone and get what you want.

Jailbreaking your phone is a huge pita, even if you are technical, and it forces you to always be several versions behind. Not to mention very few companies will be making apps for jailbroken phones. This isn't a realistic alternative. If jailbreaking your phone were allowed by apple, then maybe it would be a reasonable compromise.

> Failures like this aren't indicative of overall policy so I don't really see the point here.

It is very indicative of the over all policy. It's very clear that the app review process is a tool for stifling competition, and that apple is abusing it.

--

The big argument I see is that the app store provides value, so the 30 percent is justified. If that's true, let apps side load, and keep the 30 percent fee, and let people side load.

If it's truly worth the 30 percent, very few apps would switch away from the app store. If it's not worth 30 percent, then we have introduced a mechanism for competition and it's healthier for the whole ecosystem.

General consensus is to invest using dollar cost averaging so you don't rely on timing.

Invest the same amount of money each pay cycle. If stock is expensive, you'll be able to afford less stock, if stock is cheap, you'll afford more stock.

All very good info that as far as I know is all pretty unique to SES regarding the default/sandbox vs the upgraded production capabilities. The set up makes a lot of sense to prevent abuse and it works just fine out of the box for dev purposes. The production version also operates way more how you'd actually expect an email service to work.

All that said, I don't know of any other services that have this "production" upgrade that is needed other than maybe just the general service limits (which have always seemed more of a "protect you from yourself" situation) so it can be a touch confusing.
It makes sense to say it's x% smaller. It's clear what the UI means anyway.

Is it fair? Yes.

The cost to Apple is largely flat. A free app costs as much to host per user as a paid one, and both arguably cost less than a service client like Spotify. And what does Apple add?

I hope the outcome of this is the dissolution of "free" distribution. It's not free, it's sending and revenue to Apple and Google, and the balance is (more than) paid off by paid apps. Flat fees for everyone, pay a cent or so per user per year. It's up to you to make that work.

It’s not discrimination — pricing is based on cost, actuarial risk in the case of life insurance. There are even pooled models where otherwise too risky people can get insurance.

Yes it is encoded. Essentially the rate of firing for a neuron encodes an exponential value to be represented. This is called "spike trains".

You can see this clearly if you do an extreme slowdown of a human movement. Then, suddenly, what looks like a smooth movement, like raising an arm (and because of inertia it is smoothed of course), isn't really smooth. A pulse arrives in the muscle, and there is 20ms where the muscle is tensioned, and then it's back to neutral for 100ms. Then another spike arrives, another 20ms where a lot of tension is put on the muscle, the movement accelerates, and the muscle goes back to neutral. It's not a continuous movement at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_neuron_model

But odds are good that it's not just the value that's encoded. Many experiments have shown that it matters a lot if the signals are in phase (ie. they encode the same or some multiple of a value, but that the signals started at the exact same time matters, maybe more than the value itself. Or in the encoding: while for the value only the distance between 2 spikes matters, if 2 spikes on 2 different neurons occur at the exact same time, this will be interpreted as very relevant, even those both spikes may have very different firing rates)
