In my garage are a Tesla and a Subaru. They're both the first new cars I've ever owned and both are far more technologically advanced than anything I'd previously driven. So I'm a great guinea pig for testing modern car UIs.

The great thing about the Tesla is that the important things: park/drive/reverse etc. are all motions on a physical stalk. The rest is done on the touchscreen which has the advantage of being able to have full-text labels and clear submenus for less often used options. It's much more discoverable. The other great thing is that the touchscreen interface has the opportunity to GET BETTER over time.

The Subaru has more buttons and dials than any other machine I've ever owned. It's borderline aircraft cockpit. There is a physical control for darn near EVERYTHING. I love physical controls once you learn them, but figuring out the cryptic symbols for a button while driving is no safer than navigating a touchscreen.

I think there's a sweet spot somewhere between the two: the Tesla has too few physical controls and the Subaru has too many (though that opinion may change over time as I learn them all). I also wonder about interface wear and tear tradeoffs as both vehicles get older.

Don't forget that we also develop muscle memory for touch screens, which is why it takes a week to adjust when a popular phone app (or the whole OS) changes the position of an on-screen control.
The usual implementation is you simply check every few minutes which nodes are up and then in your A response you return all the working addresses.... are you trying to do something more complex?
> That is an extremely presumptuous statement to make.

No, especially in the context of the pandemic, it's easy to start talking about pandemic policy as though "everyone should just do X" where X is something extremely convenient, profitable, even pleasant for tech workers and other white collar jobs.
I love how Cherry Browns became déclassé key switches, due to their popularity and everyone ran to the other extreme (extremely stiff tactile switches) and are now running back to the other extreme (softer tactile switches like the Browns) with special lube and keyfilms to improve their sound and subtle typing feel.
Of course it is. It's just slow enough that you can take your time to get to know tge dependency graph and how to build everything to the point that it's not as big a deal if you don't have a legion of volunteers doing everything for you.

I use it for my personal servers. Keeps things nice and stable so I can learn the quirks of individual packages. Like the differences between the various terminal emulators.
Worse than that: you have an autographed photo of a banknote.
Oh that's a pretty important clarification, thanks!
I'm struck by the analogy to investing. If asked to pick from among several stocks, there is doubtlessly the one great stock that will make you rich. Yet as a whole, stock pickers under-perform market averages. "The rest of us" are better off buying index funds.

Another problem with hiring is that in reality people will be flexible and adapt to the traits of a new person in their group, if that person has something valuable to offer.
Invest globally instead of throwing it all in the S&P500, and add some other asset classes.
> It's false to say that multiple avenues for app installation destroys apples leverage over app makers.

Sorry, I just completely disagree. 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.

> Apple can put up a scary message before you install a non app store app, and epic can side load their app.

Yea until that becomes anti-competitive. Besides, that makes the user experience bad. Why do any of this at all? If you're sophisticated enough to want to side load apps, you're sophisticated enough to jailbreak your iPhone and get what you want.

I can already see it. You see some app in the App Store - you download it thinking it's an app but it's just a message: "Want to download our app? Go to our website!". Then I get all these pop-up warnings, download some malware on accident, whatever.
IMO (and I'll vote with my dollars at least) it's just a dumb experiment to run. I see 0 benefit in doing any of this. 0.

> It's been shown repeatedly that they let scams through all the time

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

> I am personally interested in this, as a cryptography PhD student, because the state of “provable security” is an absolute dumpster fire. In my opinion this is one particular application where machine-checkable proofs need to be established as a baseline standard.

As a non-cryptographer and generally a layman, I wonder how useful machine-checked proofs about crypto are in security. What do they tell you?

The underlying reason for my skepticism is best illustrated with Spectre: it made architecture people sweat bullets, but also rendered previous applications of formal methods less useful. What good is a formal proof that a crypto algorithm is constant-time, if it assumed a model of computation that is a research toy? You can only verify properties that you can formulate within a given semantic model. I suppose, for hardware those are way less understood than for programming languages.

(Which is not to say that formal verification is hopeless of useless as it is. Just really curious what kind of proofs a crypto person would benefit from machine-checking, and how.)
It doesn't work as a status symbol at a dinner party, but I'm not sure that's necessarily the target market someone buying an NFT is trying to impress.
Are you allowed to profit off the ownership? Like put the NFT on physical media (shirts, stickers, etc) or license it to others?

Verifying emails just involves SES sending an opt-in / verification link to the recipient email address in question.
Can you elaborate a bit? How is there coupling between a thing which uses an interface and a thing which implements the interface of the two don’t know about each other? Especially if the interface is implicit à la Go interfaces or structural subtyping?

If that's too recent for you the increase of extreme weather events as a consequence of fossil fuel induced climate change is explicitly stated by the world meteorological organisation back in 2009.

https://public.wmo.int/en/bulletin/weather-and-climate-chang...

Shell oil admitted they knew this back in 1991 and made a video about it.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/feb/28/shell-kn...

I can keep going, shell knew back in 1980.

https://mashable.com/2018/04/05/shell-knew-truth-on-global-w...

The fact that Climate change causes an increase in extreme weather events is common knowledge, or should be. Many people on this site have grown up learning about this in school. Though I can't speak for the quality of education that everyone in some unscientific states have recieved. However, the science is irrefutable.
I decided to play with these numbers myself because I had some questions. I believe the data is the same as I found here[0]

The average single-year return over that period was about 7.5%, not 10%- though in half of years, the market did better than 11%. But what happens if we bucketize by a larger period, like 5-year? My method was to take $1, multiply by the return for 5 years in a row, and then take the 5th root of the result, then convert to a percentage return per year by 5-year bucket. Overlapping 5-year buckets.

The end result is as you'd expect. There are bad years, and there are good years, but the storm is pretty tame when smoothed out. In more than 75% of 5-year periods, the average return was positive. Only 69% of 1-year periods were positive.

As a fun aside, if you invested in an S&P500 index fund the day Clinton was elected and sold it all the day Bush was elected, you'd have made close to 25% annual return on average.

>Also "abusing market position" what does that mean. It's purposely broad, it can mean anything.

There's a reason for that. Not everything can be defined clearly. If every law gets defined down to a t, we will be in a very sorry state indeed. (off topic, but that seems to be happening more and more, with every lawsuit that goes to court and gets somewhat arbitrarily -and permanantly- defined)
Wouldn't that be fairly trivial to verify on the blockchain? I'd expect someone willing to spend millions would - or have someone - do some due diligence to confirm that the NFT they are buying is the first, unique NFT for this particular item.
There have been some updates in the Github repo since then (https://github.com/tLDP/LDP/commits/master) but I don't notice any new content. It was a great resource for me decades ago, but now I understand TLDP to be mostly old and stale (and sometimes arguably bad, such as the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide) and generally better sources can be easily found.
Have cells reactive immediately to variable changes in other cells is great. I wish Jupiter did that.

I also wish I had an excuse to get more into Julia. I really like Flux.
As long as you realize that you're choosing the least bad of a bunch of bad options. Far too many people are claiming that stocks are safe.

You're right: stock picking, index funds, bonds, crypto, cash, real estate, collectibles -- they're all bad options in 2021. Myself I would recommend holding a sizable portion in cash. Unlike many, I'm not overly worried about cash holdings getting destroyed by inflation, but I do believe that coming interest rate hikes will make stocks cheaper soon.
Grow Up or Blow Up
This is FUD.

iOS will have the sandbox, if some shitty app ask "Do you want me to open the microphone now?" the user can still say NO, if the app asks "Please give me access to location!" the user can still say No, or Apple could even be clever and offer the user the ability to give fake location data,

From your point of view iOS users are so stupid that they shold not be allowed to use a OSX device or a browser(not sure if you know but browsers ahve access to camera, , location if the user allows it so go unsintall your browser (I think you don't have the freedom to remove it , sorry for you)).
Thinking about this, all i can come up with is: some people have WAY too much money on their hands.
I was impressed when I bought a car for the first time and the dealership had a gigantic touchscreen for reviewing and signing all the paperwork. Took away the needless cycle of printing and scanning papers in an otherwise digital workflow.

> Just not sure how you're going to get mail accepted by others from constantly changing (and possibly blacklisted) Amazon IPs without using trusted smart hosts.

Are you thinking about EC2 public IP addresses here? That service uses a different IP range than SES, which you can verify by comparing https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json to `dig amazonses.com TXT`. In my experience, we haven't had any issues with SES emails getting blocked, but you must set up DMARC properly and respond to bounces quickly.
The original comment had just the text, without the link.
>>If iOS becomes the android wild west it'll kill the entire selling point of the iPhone.

What always baffles me, truly leaves me flabbergasted and confused, is.....who is going to force you to use any other app store other than the Apple Store??

I'm on Android, and yes, there are other stores that exist - you can download the Amazon Fire store or many others, or even sideload apps......or......shocking......you can continue using the Play Store??? How is the mere existence of 3rd party stores going to affect your experience with the Apple Store?

>>To me, the iPhone is the equivalent of buying a games console instead of a gaming PC. Less flexibility, less to worry about.

Again, if you could load a game on your PS5 not from PSN, can you explain to me exactly how it would reduce your ability to only buy and download games available on the PSN?
Of course. Still a lot of people suck at their job even if their on paper credentials check out. You need some mechanism to make sure competent productive people are in proper positions and are compensated for it. Otherwise you get what we tried too many times and it doesn't work.
We're all aware that this is just for money laundry, yes? Nobody really thinks "owning" an NFT of a meme is really worth $500k to anyone, right?
The author tries to convince that these stones are so ordinary, ostensibly to argue that they will not be stolen. However, watch what happens as these stones start to develop a provenance and get photographed and documented along the way.

Reading this I had a flicker of desire to steal "Lily of the valley", and likewise this desire to take hold of such a rare coveted object will grow in the hearts of man over the centuries. What gives something value is not always its intrinsic worth, but also how it takes hold in the public consciousness. Just look at worthless NFTs.

And so starts the secret brotherhood of stone-keepers who will fend off the evil advances of those who would break the sacred lineage. Or, liars will introduce new stones to inflate the supply and claim to be sacred stone-keepers. So let's put a blockchain around this thing and be done with it.
And copyright generally belongs to whoever took the photo, at least in the US. Simply being in the photo doesn't grant copyright
For most of its history Amazon reinvested all of its excess revenue; the "Amazon wasn't profitable" soundbite is misleading. Amazon made money, and spent it on buying and building more Amazon instead of distributing dividends to shareholders. On paper that is "zero profit" _for shareholders_.
I have a PS4 sitting around collecting dust - I’ll have to give this a try! Thanks for the suggestion
High speed cameras produce significantly more output data, which makes them more expensive I'd have to imagine.

Not to mention a high speed camera misaligned on the finish is going to produce similarly skewed results. Anything not happening exactly along the optical axis is getting distorted by perspective. At least a line camera doesn't pretend to have accurate information on anything except the line you aim it at.
10% return investing into a company doesn't even sound as crazy as 10% return on a savings account.
That leads to the question what is IP.

NFTs may not answer that, but they put a price to it
Using loaded terms like "racism" or "white supremacy" to describe major incidents as well as minor "not even intentionally so" infractions is pretty much the definition of dilution.
Honestly? Yes, if you made a mushroom risotto with chicken, and it was genuinely designed to imitate a mushroom risotto, then that's what I would call it: a mushroom risotto with chicken. What would you call it? Would you come up with an entirely new name?

> Except serving that to a vegan claiming it's a "mushroom risotto" would probably make me an ass

To be clear, the jerk part here would be serving non-vegan food to a vegan, not the name. If you made a mushroom risotto and slathered butter over it, it would be just as much of a jerk move. This is actually something that comes up a lot with vegan food, it's why we need to read labels. There are multiple artificial meats that are made with milk and eggs and are vegetarian friendly but not vegan friendly. It's rarely safe to assume something is vegan just because vegetables are the primary ingredient or because it's "plant-based".

If you want to think of it from another perspective, I would say the same thing is true of allergens. If you made a mushroom risotto and incorporated a peanut sauce or glaze, I don't have an issue with you calling it a mushroom risotto, I don't think anything fundamental has changed about the food. But it would definitely be a jerk move (and potentially negligent homicide) to feed it to someone you knew had a peanut allergy, and you would need to make sure that if you sold it in a store that it showed peanuts prominently in the ingredients.

> intended to produce confusion and blur the definitions for the purpose of marketing

I don't particularly care about marketing purposes, I don't think the term "almond milk" is any more deceptive than the term "turkey pepperoni" or "black bean brownies". And I do not believe that when the meat industry lobbies to get stuff renamed to "almond juice", they're doing it out of concern for confusion, they just want to create certain connotations in the exact same way that vegan companies want to do.

But if you wanted legislation that required food to clearly indicate whether or not it contained animal products, it would make my life a great deal easier, I would be able to stop reading individual ingredients to find out whether or not a loaf of bread was vegan.

Right now you can indicate whether a food is vegan/vegetarian, and many products that are marketing to vegans do, especially imitation meats and plant based cheese/milk/butter which I've found to be pretty prominent. But there's no requirement to do so, and many animal products (esp less 'palatable' ingredients like shellac) are allowed to be listed in ingredient lists with no other information at all. I often have to not just read ingredients but look up new terms that I'm unfamiliar with on my phone. Some ingredients don't even have a clear answer, they might be derived from animals or they might not be, and there's no obligation for food manufacturers to indicate which version they're using.

An easy way to solve this problem would be for labeling purposes to treat animal by-products and meat more like an allergen, require a line after the ingredients stating "contains ingredients derived from animals".
Wait till you see their ads. Start with a generic tag line like 'From house to home' or 'Everything for beautiful women'. Then put any random thing under it. Like 10 different vendors of the same box of 500 screws I just bought.

Another time I bought an antistatic rubber mat for electronics. Ali express ads have only 1 reaction for the keyword rubber, so for 6 months I got ads for all kinds of rubber ... things.. for, you know ... hobbies...
I don't know, I'd definitely call myself a mech keyboard fan, but not a zealot.

The one I'm typing on right now I've had since 2013 (changing key caps once in a while) and as I'm working from home, my private other one is close by.

I do have a few more (I think 3 others? [0]), but I've not found something to replace my daily driver and I'm not actively searchign. I'm not completely averse to building one at some point but I don't see the need, it might be a fun (expensive) project.

I was hoping that since chia is related to the creator of bit torrent it would be a competitor to sia/filecoin too but it really doesn’t seem to be the case or even plan. I was amazed that there doesn’t seem to be a discussion on actually using this space. Chia is already using over one EXABYTE of storage just for proof of time space. Simply insane.
This kind of thing is why I gave up on specialized TV devices and just hooked up a Windows 10 [0] thin client with wireless M+K device, Kodi, and Chrome. I want one device to watch all the things, why is that so fucking hard for the appliance manufactures and media companies to provide? I only miss the ability to cast youtube videos.

I quite like the IKB canvases because they're outside the normal colour gamut; if you have an opportunity to see one in person you'll understand, because the colour cannot be accurately represented on screen or in a photograph. A neat trick. But I still can't see how it's worth millions.
>There's no room left for full sized, affordable, practical, run of the mill, "Ford Model T" mk.

I bought a boring (by mk community standards) Filco Majestouch in 2010. I think it was around that $125 price point, but you know what, it is at least 10 times better than the keyboard I had before it and costs less than 4c per day. I wouldn't even be surprised if this thing lasted another 10 years.

Personally I don't understand why people spend thousands of dollars on new PC hardware just to use a 10$ mouse and keyboard. Of course people are free to prioritize whatever they want, and I'm not suggesting everyone should have DIY custom $400+ keyboards, but if you put a 10 year old K120 infront of me with missing keycaps, I'd be measurably unhappy while trying to use my computer.
>Why would she own the photo or the meme just because she appears in it?

It's somewhat complicated IANAL. She has certain publicity rights to her own image. So while the photographer probably holds the copyright, if a company wanted to use the image in an ad after obtaining rights from the photographer, she would likely have a claim. That's why stock photography typically requires model releases for recognizable people in the photo.
