There's been much skepticism in recent years about whether microwaves were the cause of these officers' conditions.

This news confirms that govt agencies are taking the microwave theory seriously as a confirmed explanation for these conditions. It's reasonable to agree with the conclusion at this point.
I have considered doing this exact thing. Any tips?

One thing I've wondered about is if there is even any pager network coverage where I live. I suspect yes but I don't know of any coverage maps or that sort of thing.

> "Changing your name is a big existential act..."

that's mostly cultural. in some cultures (e.g., asian ones), it's normal to have multiple names for different levels of familiarity, and to adopt new names as circumstances dictate.

with that said, criticizing (someone else's) naming choices is a wholly aesthetic opinion and should be disregarded (perhaps politely).
I'd probably pay if this is an issue for me, just like I pay for other stuff that has popups for as long as you don't pay (Sublime Text, Little Snitch, etc). You're only getting Docker for free because you help them by upgrading automatically.

In fact, it's pretty cool that the only requirement is to stay up to date. Some companies make you pay to get upgrades, which is less secure in a way.
Perhaps burning trash would be the better solution. But it seems fairly unpopular with people in general, at least in the U.S. - you can imagine how easy it is to generate violent opposition to put a trash-burning facility in any place.

An acquaintance of mine from high school for some reason devoted much of his life to promoting trash burning technology. It seems like a good cause, but a futile one.

In Passover you aren't allowed to own certain foods, you arrange a sale to a non-jewish person, you may still keep the foods locked in your house, at the end of Passover you purchase them back (You both know the sell was fictive).

Jewish traditions have fascinating ideas and principals, but also those ridiculous hacks.
If you abandon the requirement to completely replace the existing systems you can have a much smaller wordlist. For example, if we trust people to know what county they are in we could have duplicate triples in each country. Arguably we could go even smaller, to the national subdivision (eg state) level
It’s unscientific nonsense, don’t waste your time.
> Where did all the money come from in last 1 year to inflate the prices to this insanity.

We've been printing trillions over the past 15 years or so. And we've disproportionately accumulated it at the top (including the audience here, although the top 1% and 0.1% are doing even better than that). That money has to go somewhere. Traditional conservative investments have low rates of return right now - think low interest rates - and housing has historically been seen as "safe". And it's providing fantastic returns.

Take COVID - nobody wants to move, so housing supply is low. Tight supply is just exacerbating an existing issue, especially sharply over the past year.

Totally anecdotal: I just moved from SF to Seattle, somewhat related to my job. We were outbid half a dozen times, often by cash offers. I remember one of them in particular, because we got beat way over asking by a cash buyer, and it was rented on Zillow the week after closing. Housing is an asset class, not a place we live.

> I don't understand why employers cant simply pay more and pass on the costs to their consumers. What's stoping them.

Passing costs onto consumers is a bit of a lie used to scare consumers into opposing wage increases. You can only pass on so much cost, and it depends in part on the elasticity of demand for your product.

Anyhow, employers generally can pay more, but they are optimizing for their shareholders and return on equity. That's going pretty well if you look at the market. But that's why the market isn't reflective of the economy as a whole.

Lot of people view 1mm as a huge number of commits. Which maybe it is... if your team has a habit of big PRs + rebasing.

On the other hand, if your team is used to making quick iterative commits, throwing them in a PR, never rebasing, and pulling in merge commits all over the place, uh, I can attest that you can get to a million commits pretty fast.

> saying that only black people would care about this is annoying me.

..But I think no-one said "only black people would care about this".

Like also I think no-one said "We need black people to change this copyright system" or "this is an issue between black and white people".

I'm not sure the quote is 100% serious, if they really thought things can or will be changed in their suggested way. But if I think about it, which I didn't until people said stuff like "Making it about race is extremely ridiculous."—it just seemed a commendable but unremarkable sentiment, one I never dreamed anyone could have a problem with—suggesting a black lawyer seems apt, for reasons something to do with what could be called self-determination. It would be more awesome and appropriate if black people righted the historic wrong, than if white people did it for them because poor black people can't do it on their own. Etc.

Ok, thanks, I think I learnt something about what your and other peoples' problem was/is, and I hope you learnt something about "my side", where what is extremely ridiculous is someone having problems with the noble desire expressed in that quote. But I guess it's hard here where we don't know each other at all, and don't know about what it seems are the unshared assumptions and beliefs that made my quoting a few lines on fixing copyright from a classic book from the 1980s into something extremely ridiculous and annoying in 2021. ..Ok thanks again.
Can you give an example of a painting that started its decline in the middle?
This exactly. The idea that we want to become beholden to a single country is preposterous. The comment you replied to made it seem like because US doesn't want our landscape torn up we are OK with an anti-competitive trading partner, the reality couldn't be further from the truth. Americans are fine with rising cost of goods but ideally we don't want those extra profits to go to a single country. Globisation in the Krugman sense was supposed to pull people out of poverty all over the world, not just in China.
More like two sides of the same AirTag.
I'm not sure how that refutes my point that there are millions of people south of the border willing to work these backbreaking jobs for low pay if only our government could come up with some sensible immigration bill.

That these same people also exploit undocumented people is a separate issue. Give them papers and you'll have no problem finding jobs!
I imagine the conclusion of the book was that the microwave was used to send energy to a listening device inside the ambassy? (same technology as the contactless smart cards used in public transport)

What you wrote is all correct. Just don’t confuse creating the transaction and adding to the network (which is relatively expensive) with verifying (which is cheap, an SHA-256 hash can be computed in 2 days by a human with pen and paper, and for verifying the transaction you need an exponentiation on an elliptic curve, which is still efficient, though slower).
Ubuntu is a horrible example for well one UX or even a stable linux system. Times change, and i totally agree thats its hard to see trough as average user.
Did they change that recently? My Mazda is a few years old and while it does have a touch screen, it only works when you're stopped (and it doesn't seem to work at all in android auto/carplay).

Absolutely love the tactile feedback from the knob that clicks at each position as you turn it. Also putting physical shortcut buttons to take you directly to the "now playing" screen of whatever is playing media or to whatever navigation tool is active is wonderful.

When did we all become so paranoid?

Pagers used to be used by millions of people, in thousands of companies. 99.999% of the messages sent would have been utterly mundane. Stuff like 'call the office' or 'go to place x'.

Just like our chat platforms of today, the data just isn't that interesting.

Pagers were good for the era they were invented for, and at scale ended up being almost free to operate for the companies that used them.

Encrypting stuff requires CPU grunt that pagers simply did not have, especially when the driver was to have as long battery life as possible.

If anything, I miss that simpler era when we didn't have to assume that everybody in the chain was a bad actor trying steal our information.
You keep making these assertions, but do you have any sources? Again, there's a reason why monospaced fonts are used almost nowhere. Think about it: monospaced fonts are much easier to typeset, and yet English texts almost universally use proportional fonts. Proportional fonts give each word a unique width and shape, which makes them easier to skim; monospaced text is so grid-like that you have to actually read the word to skim it (there is no "flow"). There are actual studies that have shown that monospaced fonts are worse for legibility and comprehension, and take longer to read.[1]

Input lag on an iPhone or an iPad is best in class. The Mac leaves much to be desired.

I have never had an issue with Bluetooth on the Mac. Maybe there’s issues if you’re doing audio recording on the headset, but that’s a limitation of bluetooth 4 and would be similar on Linux or Windows.

My Linux laptop likes to negotiate HSP (low quality but with audio recording) over HSDP (high quality) with my Bose QC35s, but the Mac is quite happy to dynamically switch as needed.

Because it's not going to be $13, you'll surely be able to buy 5 for $6 off Amazon soon for whatever kind of holder-with-loophole you want.

In this case I think Apple made the absolutely right decision.

> At one point I was interested to know if there were versions of the paging technology (for some critical application?) that tried to solve this by issuing multiple redundant messages over some amount of time, and the pager ignoring the redundant ones after the 1st one had been received?

This is in fact how pagers work.
I personally like the Shit key better (typo in title)
Easy. Put the burden of legal fees and risk of censure on a DMCA mill for false positives. This means if a host takes down content to maintain their safe harbor status, and the person can prove the copyright claim was false or frivolous, you get a cause of action to counter-sue the original claimant. Moonlight Sonata is in the public domain. The teacher's performance != anyone elses. Therefore, false, therefore it should have reprecussions for the signing attorney. If it was pre-emptive by Google without a DMCA request from an external entity, that's a different issue.

People don't get it. Perjury actually means something. When you have the blade of perjury over head, it is absolutely the case that as a human being, if you have doubt, you should be saying it, or you're misrepresenting the truth of the matter.

The level of perjury inherent to generating these claims via automated process is absurd. It is absolutely reasonable that when you have a group going around and using the legal system as a cudgel, the proper response is to return the favor.

This process should not scale at all if people would punch back. Perjury should be trivial to prove when no one even looked at the content in qustion aside from an analysis suite.

Regardless; there is always the self-hosted option.
the key here being all of that is adjustments, it's not a separate system. Are they still trying to work out how to land a dragon 2 with Draco's or is that a dead end after NASA said "no". it seems like spacex still wanted to use rockets so took a route they made an alternative impossible. starship will have to be so good it cannot be ignored for humans. big bet.

TBF 1/2 of them weren't even born...
My foray into 'blue collar' society (in large urban areas at least) taught me this clear and wide: most of it is run by vultures. The simplest equipment is optional, safety equipment is optional, hygiene is optional. Inhumane production rates are mandatory. Companies will scam you as much as the first stranger on an undeclared gig.

It's adversarial relationships from top to bottom. People are clueless, and don't want to make things better. Things rot as long as people involved are accepting, or forced to accept, the situation. Actually one gig I did was newspaper delivery and it's clear that the web took a lot of the money from them and they're barely surviving at the cost of employees.

Another factor, systems struggle accelerate when out of the mean, the lower the company is the lower the work life is, the worse the employees they can get is .. less means, less profits, more work.

A little off-topic, but can an artistic person or graphic designer help me to understand why every airtag in Apple's literature with the Apple logo has that two-color (light gray, dark gray) scheme with a not-exactly-straight line dividing the colors [1]? It seems like an odd design choice.

EDIT: Ha! Thanks for the push. I would have never seen it. My eyes are broken I guess. It truly looks to me like they are two-toned gray, even after the explanation.

It depends what type of trading you would like to do. For high frequency trading, then using a deep neural network might work but could mainly predict order book imbalances. There is a nice article here - https://www.coindesk.com/five-machine-learning-methods-crypt...

For daily trading or slower trading strategies there is also a company called https://crypto-ml.com/ who are providing ML signals (Twitter @crypto_ml). But most people are listening to signals on telegram or discord groups.

There is also a new entrant called https://www.edgebase.io (Twitter @edgebase_io). They let you build your own ML models with data they provide as well as data you bring. You construct the features and they do all the ML under the hood

I upgraded from an iPhone SE (5 body) to an iPhone 12 mini.

Here’s the thing: the 12 mini has the same dimensions as the iPhone 6 that I deemed too big originally. I picked up my old phone the other day and holy shit did it feel nice in comparison.

If you were holding out for an iPhone 5 sized phone then this wasn’t it; no wonder it didn’t sell so good in that demographic. I only bought it because I wanted to support smaller phones- but realistically it’s not small enough.

EDIT: I think I’m wrong but it’s closer to the 6 than the 5:

5:
H 123.8mm (4.87 inches)
W 58.6mm (2.31 inches)
D 7.6mm (0.3 inches)

6:
H 138.1 mm (5.44 in)
W 67.0 mm (2.64 in)
D 6.9 mm (0.27 in) (inc. lens, 7.5 mm, 0.30 in)

12 Mini:
H 131.5 (5.18 in)
W 64.2 (2.53 in)
D 7.4 mm (0.29 in)

The real purpose of most taxes on "the rich" is to prevent the middle class from accumulating capital.

The truly rich, by virtue of being actually wealthy, can structure their finances to avoid most of the worst taxes. Up-and-coming strivers can't do that.
Thank you for writing this -- it's 100% spot on from my experience. Dogs are extremely social animals and naturally have a strong need to communicate. Just a little time and effort put into understanding their signals as well as teaching them/guiding them towards ones that work better for you will go a long way.

When my dogs have lost a ball under something they will bow at the location and look at me; if that doesn't work they will come up and make a little grumble and wait for my attention, then go and bow in front of the location again. Similarly if they want to go outside, we set up a little bell by the back door that they can jingle. At first we would ring it every time we let them outside, or let them outside every time they accidentally knocked it. They learned the association pretty quickly. Now if they need to go out (or spotted some bunnies in the yard) they will ring it; if we don't respond immediately, they'll come up, make a little sound to get attention, and run back to ring the bell again. I also have the same experience re: permission into areas and one-time-pass signals. Also the singing -- it's fun to get a choir going!
this is honestly a great idea. It sounds hard but doable. Microwaving properly is in art though.. I find myself juggling between lower power to high power to avoid absolutely destroying the food.

But seriously, someone make what OP is saying
That would definitely be great, and I'm also wondering why we don't actually have this.

That said, given the current trends of our industry, I'm afraid that we will get connected microwaves that leaks private data and publishes to TikTok (or whatever) sooner than this actually useful feature.

One of the very few open minded answers I've seen so far. Of course people will complain, specially in HN. Even though I agree Docker's communication and execution wasn't the best, I applaud them since they're trying to monetize their work in a different strategy than the standard "support plan". In the end, I really hope this ends up working for them since it'll ultimately be reflected in the quality of the product.

Yes? Rebuilding and (retesting!) the system on every major update is not a bad idea at all. I rarely install binaries from out-of-repo sources so that is not a great problem for me. And those I do install tend to be statically linked anyway.
Of course it depends on the person, but I have never really used the dock for anything. I usually use the overview, or start typing the name of the app I want, or even more often just apt tab to it.
I often have used the microwave as a timer/alarm before switching that function to my phone.
Back in the day many countries had nationwide paging networks. Nowhere was safe from getting a page.

You couldnt just use the 'I had no signal' excuse.
