interesting concept. so it is like a mix of linkedin and mailbox. though it is not quite clear if it is intended for HR reps, or exclusively peer to peer.

you're kidding. I mean to people of course all mosquito look the same. It is a top of anthropocentrism though to think that mosquito would not differentiate. The basis of selection is "best fit" (to bring in and/or bring up new generation), and the weakness to the point of infertility is naturally selected out very quickly.
Hahaha, that seems to be true, I've been surprised by the enthusiastic response. Sorry for the delayed replies, everyone.

For anyone still interested: I can print a bit larger than A2 format: 43x65cm, the cost is around 4 euro for a print on glossy 190g/m2 epson photo paper or 11,1 euro for Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308g/m2 matte paper (that one is expensive but really good).

Edit: yes, I'd be happy to print the poster for you, feel free to write me!
I use QC35s with Windows and Linux and have always found them excellent despite having what appears to be the same behaviour as you. This is what I have:

Once paired, two audio output devices are created - "Bose QuietComfort 35 Stereo" (A2DP) and "Bose QuietComfort 35 Hands-Free AG Audio" (HFP). The A2DP one is the default output source for the PC, so I get this behaviour:

* When I'm not in a call of any form, normal system audio (Youtube, Spotify etc.) comes through A2DP with good quality

* When I start a call, the headphones switch to HFP (you can tell due to increase in hiss) and audio quality drops. During this time you can't hear what the PC is playing over the A2DP output (unless I switch the default Windows output).

I'd be curious to know if you get different behaviour on Macbooks because the above "one profile at a time" always seemed to me to be a fixed limitation of the hardware and Bluetooth.

It does, but you could store them underground and capture carbon. Not sure if it scales.
There are a few areas where I see carbon capture viable:

- Catching CO2 of unavoidable CO2 emitting processes, namely burning trash. In Europe we decided that we do not want landfills anymore, and what cannot be recycled has to be burned. We already start with a higher CO2 concentration, and have energy that is created while burning. Seems like a perfect opportunity for catching CO2.

- Natural processes that catch CO2: Trees, olivine, ...

- Systems for better indoor air with controlled home ventilation systems: I guess you will find people willing to pay for air with a lower CO2 content.

The news biz has its own version of SEO, keyed mainly off of article titles but also to a lesser extent off of image titles. Both of those are selected by the editor, not the reporter. The main difference is that they aren't optimizing for search engines.

There were tons of cases of this weird "article/photo title is trying way too hard to spin this story while the text is pretty neutral and unbiased" during election season.

It also shows up in the tendency to insert the prefix "Commentary:" in the title of any article noting any negative facts about a certain particular country. The WSJ is particularly hilarious in this respect.
You can store energy by e.g. pumping water up a hill during the day and using turbine generators at night, or if you don't have a hill heating up water any converting heat back to energy.

The video on the linked page started playing, verbalized the first few phrases (ending with "... recent years") and then went silent.

The video kept on playing, the subs were changing, you can hear the original (muted down) soundtrack, but the narration audio was gone.

Skipped forward by a minute or so, the narration resumed and then again stopped once the current subtitle was exhausted.

Subsequent dragging of the video slider made no difference, the narration stayed off. The dev console shows "Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play method is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission." popping up, seemingly randomly, both when the narration was playing and when it was not. This is in a recent Firefox on Windows.

PS. FWIW, the quality of the narration is really good.

> Cool idea, probably unrealistic.

There's a 3200km(2000 mile) long, 12GW HVDC transmission line somewhere in China that does exactly that.

Its main purpose is to connect regional grids but given the sheer length of the thing the difference in solar time at each end is well over an hour - could have been better, but that would require a different angle.
It would be great if Amazon would extend the same non-tolerance towards scammers on the seller side though. Fake products, co-mingling and "we give you 10€ gift card for 5 star review" is way too common.
Not sure why he talks about the financial side. CC on scale will be a government driven operation, paid via taxing the population and it will cost whatever it costs, like many other things.
It would be far more efficient (since additional energy is used for all the actions around it all) to not bring up carbon from below ground in the first place. As long as Norway brings up new oil those actions are just marketing.

See the article we are talking about here. First you spend energy to bring up carbon. Then you spend more energy to get it back down again. The math does not check out. Not bringing up the carbon in the first place would have been far more beneficial for atmospheric CO2 levels.

Worse, they plan to do more of the oil-digging: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-norway-oil-environment-id... (this is dated Dec 2020)

I think you have the wrong perception on how YubiKeys add to your security.

2fa means you use different proves. A password is proof that you know a secret. A YubiKeys outputs proof that you are in possession of this device. The tapping is there to avoid rootkit based exploits (e.g. streaming the data to another device on demand).

Adding a password to you YubiKeys does not add anything to this. It does not strengthen this.
Right, I suppose they sacrificed, or bypassed the "allows the killers to operate at a safe distance" advantage by having someone literally rub it directly into his face in public.

Author here.

I actually agree that a lot of academic scholarship (including Stolterman's and my own) is "inside baseball." This has many reasons, for example, it's easy to publish things that provide value to scholars, even if they aren't relevant to practical or commercial work.

This is actually why I started the Design Disciplin project, which this post is part of. It's meant to be design scholarship outside the establishment, hopefully improving the signal/noise ratio.

It doesn't happen in one day, and it's not for everyone. I keep iterating on the scope, topics, format, etc. Happy to hear any suggestions from the HN community as we move forward.

Fiat was surely used for crime since the beginning of it, and this hasn't prevented its adoption. Frankly, anything can be used as a way to fund crime, whether it's a fungible currency or tangible goods/services.

Just because something can be used maliciously doesn't mean it should be demonized and banished despite its non-malicious potential (cryptocurrencies is one of the very few real use-cases of blockchain).

Yeah, the Bose legal department is probably laughing right now at the easy slam dunk...

To elaborate, the lawyers will probably say the fact that it's made to work with their headphones, and the name which can be confused with theirs, means it's a misuse of their trademark, and it's confusing enough that people might think it's an official Bose app, and who knows what sort of nastiness might be hiding in there.

They had to get special permission from the US government to export TPU's abroad to use in their datacenters. The TPU's fell under ITAR regulations (like many machine learning chips). The US government granted permission, but put some restriction like 'they must always be supervised by an american citizen', which I imagine leads to some very well paid foreign security guard positions for someone with the correct passport...

Read all that on some random government document portal, but can't seem to find it now...

There is no conflict between democracies and accomplishing long term goals. Common perceptions are skewed because (1) "everything works as expected" and (2) "obviously clever long term plan bears fruit" make boring headlines.

If the democracies ever bring out the brass knuckles and try hard they'll probably succeed. Even mild tweaks like loosening IP protections and letting failed financial institutions go bankrupt once in a while would do wonders.

But the political will is focused on, eg, the Green movement (and Germany is one of the world-wide leaders there) which sees it as essential to our survival that we replace cheap energy with clean energy. Now I'm sure a lot of readers believe in that as a goal but industry would rather go where the cheap energy is.

The English speaking democracies have spent years deprioritising industrial reform in favour of improving welfare and supporting environmental initiatives at the expense of industrial competition. These are widely supported policies and fair enough, it is great to live in the west. But the long term effect of this is easy to anticipate - challengers will find it easier to compete.
Hi, just to chip in because I read your request for feedback and also because I'm interested in seeing what Monito can do. I’ve been heading QA depts at large tech companies for a while now, and part of my job is to be up to speed with the latest tools and trends, and to write automation tools for various tech stack layers. To answer your question, my preferred front-end tool at the moment is Playwright (via C# binding). Playwright is the new kid on the block, but it has great potential; I’ve migrated all of our Selenium tests to it and I couldn’t be happier.

It's not just google as a corporation, it's google as a legal entity.

Have your own site in your own individual name with no corporate entity nor search for profit offering to host people's videos for free, and I guarantee you that within 24h you are dealing with things ranging from pedophilia to copyright violations and the like. And if you don't clear them out, you're the one responsible.

Google is acting the way society has decided they should act through the laws it voted. Could they act another, more expensive, way in order to save a bit more of content that get caught by mistake ? Definitely, but why would they as a company when the laws says any mistake or delay is their fault.

Source: like many people, I once made a free image hosting thingy. It was overrun by pedos within a week to my absolute horror and shock. Copyright infringement is obviously not the same at all, BUT the way the law act toward the host is not that different "ensure there is none and be proactive in cleaning, or else ...".
Of course costs matter. If it costs 100x more to capture the carbon than building higher levees, we will build higher levees and (hopefuly) use the leftover money to evacuate people in very low and/or poor countries to higher ground.

i don't know how you connect talking to someone with hiring them. those are entirely different actions.

i might hire them after they renounce their kkk membership. are you ok with that?

where i am from, discrimination based on political opinions is illegal. on the other hand, political activism by employees is also not allowed. so i probably could hire someone who is not already known for their kkk membership, and you would not be allowed to fire me for that. they are allowed to stay as long as they are not becoming active. that scenario is unlikely to happen though because hiring friends is considered a form of corruption and strongly frowned upon. qualifications only.

but let's be clear. i am not giving someone legitimacy just by talking to them.
