Well, that would be true. I'll bet that Germany has administered more vaccinations than Lichtenstein.
Sounds like you didn't use money to hire staff and tools to accelerate progress.
> cannabis - though relatively harmless - causes people to space out uselessly in front of the TV

You sound like your knowledge of cannabis is from anti-drug TV commercials. Speak for yourself, cannabis can definitely be a social drug. People are just forced to do it in the privacy of their own homes due to prohibition.
Many therapists use the DSM only for insurance purposes, as insurance companies demand an official diagnosis before covering treatment. The DSM's role in therapy itself is highly questionable.

Qualcomm Halo is able to transmit about 3.5KW. They once got up to 20KW in a demo. The technology has been sold off to WiTricity. Tesla's biggest Supercharger model transfers around 250KW. Although Qualcomm has been announcing that technology since 2013, there seem to be no non-demo installations.
> Again, if there is concern about workers being paid less, the solution is to not lower their compensation.

Then kitchen staff will continue to be paid poorly. Just understand that's the tradeoff.

> Raising kitchen wages does not necessitate lowering server wages

How?

> It is worth noting that tip pooling with kitchen staff is standard practice in many restaurants despite being flat out illegal until recently

It's still illegal in many states. Meyer, one of the restaurateurs who switched to no-tipping and back, is in New York, where it's illegal both to add a service charge and to collect part of the tips to share with kitchen staff. Switching to no-tipping allowed him to compensate the kitchen staff more fairly, at the expense of the departure of his entire waitstaff.
This is exactly where the article ends:

So what if, Glynn proposes, a scene in a movie added, subtly, light in a very specific wavelength of green? Then just kept ramping up, more and more green—and, at a key moment, the screen dropped all the green out at once. The movie would induce the complementary color as an afterimage. You'd imagine you were seeing a specific red, not projected on the screen but as a neurophysiological response to stimulus. And if you pick the precise wavelength, “you could actually cause someone to perceive a color that they could never otherwise see. Like, there's no natural way for you to have the perception of that color.”

That color wouldn't be onscreen. It wouldn't be anything a projector could cast or a computer could generate. It'd be a function of pure cognition, different for every viewer, existing only in the mind, then fading to nothingness. Which is true for all colors anyway, when you think about it.
The question really is whether the team values version control history with good commit messages. A simple test would be to make all commits with the --allow-empty and --allow-empty-message flags which allow you to make commits that don't change any files in the work tree and don't include a commit message.

If the team doesn't see an issue with it, then using those flags should be mandated since what the team is really interested is just snapshots of the codebase. Any associated message (the commit message) is effectively useless and ignored, so why bother even including it?
The technical writer can be involved in the release management and ask for details that then he can use as a starting point.

They can help identify gaps in documentation, outdated documentation, etc. They can take care of the clarity, formatting and distribution. You can create a ticket about documentation and assign it to them.

Then, while many developers write excellent documentation... some other developers truly SUCK at documenting. Some people like to sound intelligent and their comments read like a choose-your-adventure monologue that cannot be read linearly. Or they use vague, ambiguous language, or overuse acronyms or abbreviations. Or they sign every piece of code they touch like a dog scent marking your entire code base. Or they use profanity, or they get offtopic or humorous... All of that is a distraction from doing my job.

The technical writer takes care of those problems for you. They can create guidelines for documentation so that people treat documentation with the respect it deserves.
Imagine that!

To imagine it requires understanding how technology works.

Batteries are chemical processes - they degrade slowly over time. An older battery produces less power, and so can’t support the same peak performance.

You can therefore extend the useful life of the battery by throttling the CPU performance to within the power envelope provided by the battery.

It’s fairly simple to understand.
> If an app has automatic call recording that works well, the manufacturer probably put an insecure OS on the phone, because then any app or game you download probably has that capability.

I think that's a simplistic way to think of it, and assumes that there are only "apps" with exactly one privilege level. There are a multitude of things the OS could do to give a good user experience AND stay secure from random apps recording you.

Off the top of my head, how about: Apps can record you, but only by registering a special chunk of code that will be run with a special "tempfile" privilege, where the app doesn't know where the file is stored to. Then, once the call is over, if the app tries to access that file again, with normal privileges, the OS puts up a confirmation screen that says "Good news! App <Dave's Cool Pachinko Parlor> has recorded your last call. Do you want to keep or delete that recording?"
> On the contrary, electricity gris has to follow very strict rules

The electric grid is regulate as such, to define the acceptable ranges. ISPs are regulated differently but the law still defines acceptable ranges for their service. They either don't prohibit, or even explicitly allow saying "up to 1Gbps" while offering lower for example. If you find the practice bad look to change the law. Internet should be regulated like a utility.

You make a case for having a crappy ISP experience but not for them deceiving you because you bought an "up to 1Gbps" connection and get less than the upper bound. You could get some guarantees but you didn't want to pay. Most things you pay for deliver lower than the upper bound, by how much determines if it's fraud or not, depending on the law.

> car milage cones from tests inaccordance with specific methodology, they cant just slap a number that's wrong by a factor of 2 and call it a day

It's very ironic that until just now you insisted "the consumer is being defrauded with fraudulent claims" and now you justify equally unrealistic numbers in other scenarios like car fuel or pollution numbers (don't get me started on how they measure PHEV fuel efficiency, factor of 2 would be great). So you willingly accept equally fraudulent claims if they're obtained in an irrelevant standardized test. Do you really think Virgin Media couldn't pass a "standardized test" with flying colors? By your own admission it's no longer fraudulent because they did a speedtest against their own servers and it came out great.

How many times will you switch tracks like this and just throw stuff against the wall to see what sticks? It looks to me like your argumentation is very poorly thought out, and you wobble between conflicting ideas, or misunderstood ones. You moved the goal posts around so much neither of us knows where they'll pop up. I get you have a bad ISP but their problem isn't the marketing slogans unless you go for the most superficial of reasoning.
I’ve been looking for just this!!! Thank you!!
Consider ‘My team is a good team’ vs. ‘My team are a good team’.

I bet ‘is’ sounds better to you in this context, though ‘my team’ and ‘The Patriots’ are similar noun phrases that could refer to exactly the same thing.

The difference is that Patriots is a plural. Replace it with Manchester United and ‘is’ sounds good again.

Printing presses were not ubiquitous. There were relatively few of them, not everyone had access, there were limitations to the scale of copyright infringement due to the physical nature of books. People had to be major industry players in order to infringe copyright at scale and it was necessary to do it for profit in order to cover the significant costs involved.

Today virtually everyone has access to a computer that can create and transmit unlimited copies of any data at massive scales and at negligible costs and there's no way to stop it from happening unless you destroy computing freedom by making it so processors refuse to run software not signed by the government.

Copyright needs to go away because the alternative is the total destruction of free computing as we know it today. I want a future where I'm in control of my devices and can write my own software if I want without the need for some government license. If the copyright industry must die in order to protect that future, so be it.
Joh Scott is awesome. I second the recommendation of this channel
Cars are about to be a software platform, subscriptions and all
I just made the switch, mostly, from a desktop I built running Ubuntu, to a new M1 Mini. It's... I dunno, I'd give it an OK. I realize now that everyone raving about the amazing M1 speed were comparing that to their old MacBook. It's not that the M1 is slow, it's just not any faster than my other desktop, and running Docker on it IS slower, much slower. Docker is also weirdly buggy. Docker is also a big part of my workday. I've already had 2 kernel panic crashes from OSX in just 3 months of using it too. For me and my work (I'm a sys admin), OSX and the M1 are fine, but it's not worlds better than my old Linux machine. I'll stick with it, it's nice having iMessage built in, but Linux was pretty much the same thing (for me and my work).
First of all, if there is no documentation then it's not engineering.

If you don't agree, then imagine civil engineers which don't bother writing documentation, or mechanical engineers not bothering to do blueprints, or electrical engineers don't bothering to document schemata, properties and behaviour of components, etc. Would it be a work of an engineer?

The biggest problem with SW documentation is that people don't know how to do it properly and even why to do it at all. Mostly because people in universities also don't know how to do it properly and so it is not taught. As a result the documents are often a mix of useless prose with some incomplete and imprecise diagrams. That's why most people don't bother.

David Parnas makes it clear WHY and HOW to write documentation for SW.

If you wonder how good can documentation be then google "requirements document for A-7E aircraft". Barry Boehm has said that it's the best requirements document he has ever seen. I guess that it's still the best one!
Chia claims to be a more green solution. Even going as far as to call their white paper a "green paper." Not sure anyone told them that burning through hard drives isn't very green either.

Again and again the same basic "but it's free" refrain.

Sure, building on quicksand is free. No one wants to pay for a service that is as undependable, and impossible to appeal in case of fraudulent or just mistaken bans.

So go ahead and build on that quicksand... but do it knowing so, and stop complaining when the quicksand swallows you.

There might not be much land around the edge of the quicksand patch, but it's solid ground.
Not sure this applies much for the ROM's on microcontroller. They're pretty small and mostly handle very low level details so there doesn't seem much space for meaningful improvement. Even when the firmware is completely open, the original firm often maintains a competitive edge because they have the know how to work with the code base and rest of the chip. Ideally they have internal simulation tools, a broad range of expertise, etc. The firmware often doesn't contain as much "secret sauce", but does contains lots of possible vulnerabilities or bugs for customers.
As an app developer, I spend a lot of time trying to find the right opportunities for apps to build. I'd happily spend $50 to cut down research time by a few hours.

What you have described completely destroys the security model.

> In case of a running iPad, an Apple-authorized update could be pushed to the OS to unlock it and allow it to run binaries directly.

Which of course an attacker would be able to do too.

> Apple could also document any hardware features that would allow someone to put an iPad into "free-for-all" mode. Presumably this would require opening up the device to attach a serial cable to a JTAG connection or something similar.

Which of course a police department, the FBI, or the agents of an oppressive regime or anyone who bought a JTAG device off ebay would be able to do too.

These are exactly the reasons they don’t do these things - if they did, they would be opening attack vectors.

Security is hard. I’m not saying it’s impossible to achieve this, but it’s not simple.
> As is any other object in git. Not only that, you can't delete objects either. Every git repo in the universe together represents one giant, immutable, append-only object store.

He's blaming being from Alberta for being shut out? Seems like a slight stretch especially given the lack of proper studies.

"Chia" also refers to the plant "Salvia hispanica", that's Nahuatl/Mexicano.
I believe "guinea" is pronounced "gin-ee" (with a hard g) and GNU is pronounced "guh-noo" (again, hard g).

I think he's pronouncing it right in the video, but he's not enunciating super well, so it gets a bit muddy.

Edit: When you have a schwa, some people will use more of a "u" sound ("guhnoo") while others might use a different sound (this guy's closer to "gihnoo") - it really depends on accent/upbringing and how you speak I think. It actually took me a few listens before I could parse it out.
Sure, and those are valid arguments to make to encourage or discourage use. I know you're just Devil's advocating, but to kind of one-up it: similar or stronger arguments could potentially be made for criminalizing things like gambling, pornography, watching Twitch for more than an hour per day, etc.

There are a lot of things that carry potential for social harm. It's the job of a nation's citizens to decide which are socially harmful enough to warrant fines or imprisonment. Ranged weapons certainly carry potential for social harm, but the US has decided they don't cross that threshold as long as they aren't fully automatic or explosive.

I think the social harm of even the most "notorious" drugs, like PCP and methamphetamine, don't cross that threshold, personally. There's a lot of pushback now, but I suspect within a century or so most or all drugs will be decriminalized in the US and many other places, even if mostly for practical rather than philosophical reasons.

Focusing solely on the personal harm arguments can be interesting to think about, too. Can a case be made for legalizing fentanyl, despite it often causing personal harm (death)? I think I lean towards legalizing both buying and selling of it as long as failure to disclosure it's contained in something is illegal; though in practice that might be too hard to enforce, in which case maybe selling should be illegal as long as there's some safe government-sanctioned source of it.
To me it's worse than that, as service providers will record calls and use these recording only at their benefit.

In these situations where recording is agreed by both parties, getting restricted on the individual side is frustrating.

Basically it's the proverbial technical solution to a social problem.
Just yesterday, I was looking at a PlayStation Vita that my girlfriend’s brother scored off eBay. Released in 2011, it was Sony’s last handheld console.

Yes -- but. Take the UK for example. The UK is the most unequal major country in Europe. It's a rich country which also contains some of the poorest regions in the continent. And yet, that doesn't translate to killings.

EDIT: to be clear, I am not disagreeing with you, but the same analysis could be applied to other countries, without the same conclusion. The US is not unusual in containing multitudes.
I think that's an improvement upon Forrest M. Mims III's plotter scanner. (He's the one who hand-drew some of the books at Radio Shack, like Getting Started in Electronics, and the 555 timer application notes circuits.) IIRC, for an article for Computers & Electronics magazine, he rigged up a flatbed X-Y plotter with an optical sensor (maybe one of the cadium sulfide photoresistors that RS sold?), and the resolution was very low, but it was pretty inspiring to kids. (It also gave you another reason to crave a plotter, which you now saw was really a robot module.)
That's regression to the mean and perfectly normal, there's a whole science associated with it. It's not a curse or even specific to any outlet. This is a suitable example: https://web.archive.org/web/20210121061334/http://wmbriggs.c...

Being poor does not justify murder.

US population is at over 300 million people and police kills about a thousand people yearly. It might sound heartless, but those kinds of numbers is what I'd realistically expect from such a huge country with legal firearms.

I don't recognize any problem, but people in power seem to and if I'm not mistaken the police was defunded and there is overall less police in some places, so you're already getting what you wanted. I think as a result there is a rise in homicide, but truth be told I didn't care enough to verify any of those claims.
Or, you know, have everyone "dial in" from their own computer. That was how a number of teams I work with were pre-pandemic. If anyone's remote, everyone calls in separately. Otherwise the remote experience is inherently going to be worse than the in-person one.

That's been one mildly positive aspect of the pandemic. I'm no longer dialing into calls where there are a bunch of people in a conference room and then there's everyone else.
You can have massive poverty, guns everywhere, a war on drugs, police as a revenue source and an uber "macho" culture OR you can have a reasonable number of police shootings (eg 10 a year).

You can't have both.

Part way through the hellish first year somebody asked me a similar question (after commenting the first year is brutal) “if you could go back in time and tell yourself about how hard this is would it have changed your mind?”, my answer was and still is “my previous self wouldn’t be able to understand”.

My friend took this to mean I regret having and kid and wish I hadn’t; that isn’t the case, my point was it’s just hard and different in ways you can’t convey to somebody without kids and also there is no way to prepare you for it. There is a feeling in society in general that having a baby is beautiful and affirming etc and either you want to have kids and it’ll be great or you don’t want to have kids and it’ll be hard, it’s just not that simple.

We wanted to have kids, we also would have been ok not having kids too if that’s how the cookie crumbled, we tried and had one and he’s awesome. I think my point here is don’t overthink it, you can’t think yourself through this one :)

My advice would be lean on your support network early and often, we felt we had to be strong and shoulder through it ourselves and I do regret that.

> But otherwise these labels don't have much meaning.

Hard disagree, the experience of somone with bipolar is a lot different than somone who's schizophrenic or only has major depression or generalized anxiety. Mania and the specific difficulties it causes for psychosis are radically different than what the others have to deal with and so is the general unpredictability of life (for planning and commitment purposes) and especially the types of effects it has on relationships. Each of the disorders have totally different profiles subjectively and objectively and different things they have to deal with. It's definitely not just a "statistical artefact" dispite the possibility of multiple diseases causing the same symptom clusters.
