"Open networks are more prone to cyber security threats because they introduce additional interfaces, additional functions, and functional splits, which expand the surface for potential threats. The fact that open RAN relies on open source software increases the number of potential entry points for security breached."

What is this supposed to mean, if anything?
Thanks, then it looks like these people are different than I am, when others sloppily use my illness than I get angry. Will need to ask some cancer survivors amongst my friends.

The best outcome is just to change the name right now and be careful not to violate trademarks and avoid any chance of conflict. They won’t be sued if they hurry to rename it to something generic, change the domain name, change the wording to say “compatible with headphones made by Bose”, include prominent text that says “Bose is a trademark of Bose Corporation and this product is not endorsed or supported by them in any way”, stop using their trademarks incorrectly (some instances are improperly lowercase), etc.

They can even redirect the old domain to the new one for a while. A company like Bose is not going to punish a mistake that was corrected in good faith in a timely manner.

May I ask what SNR is short for?
This is what worries me.

I would say that they need to do an RNA test and a Genetic Test as well.

I have Bipolar Disorder and even I go through periods of remission. Looking at genetics might give a better clue about how the trauma may effect a person long term.

They really need to figure out how to test for these catecholamines in the brain...

Man I been working in a tech job I got without even a degree for two years. I was literally told by the HR dept that the boss was set on hiring me as soon as we met because I was apparently so far above every other candidate.

Still I feel imposter syndrome like any day now they’ll work out I’m not as great as they think I am and I’ll lose my career.

Totally irrational but I got low self-esteem.

I also have ADHD among other things but the Dexedrine helps me focus on anything. Feels like Limitless pills.

They do. Actual diamonds have occlusions, slight color shifts, unique sparkle patterns, and other characteristics.

Grown diamonds are too perfect, and it’s trivially easy to tell the difference. You don’t need a loupe at all.

I don’t own any diamonds, but I like rocks and minerals. Hank from breaking bad would be proud.
Thank you! There seems to be a more detailed documentary on it, thanks for pointing me towards it.

Using the US as an example, too much land is used for cereal grains like corn and wheat, to the point where it has become politically necessary to subsidize worthless and inefficient usages like ethanol just to get rid of the surplus. Ergo, I am making the assertion that if the US can afford to waste arable farmland growing corn that then needs to heavily subsidized to turn into ethanol and HFCS this arable land is being wasted and could be better served as space for solar panels.

Taking land like this out of production will serve the purpose of supporting crop prices (limiting the political fallout of such a move) and it is well-established that modern farm practices have done significant damage to topsoil and that leaving land fallow or planting gaps between panels with prairie grasses will help build back some of the topsoil and soil nutrients.

Do you have a counter-argument to refute my assertion?
American culture is deeply rooted in what is called expressive individualism. The idea that to unleash their potential, one has to outwardly express their individual feelings, views and preferences via public channels. That is coupled with moral utilitarianism which prescribes that every action should lead to the greatest quantifiable amount of happiness for the greatest amount of people.

It is certainly a shock for people coming from more inward-looking, collective cultures.

SEEING WORK | Ann Arbor, MI | Remote

What I am: SysAdmin for hire. Linux, Windows, you name it, I've been mixed up in it. You'll notice I said SysAdmin and not DevOps--thats a conscious decision. I focus on the platform and delivering a stable foundation for developers to work on. I strive to be an asset for your development team--in a perfect world your developers should never need to think about how the sausage is made, they should spend time writing code (which is what you really pay them for). I'm happy to act in a consulting role/guide for your internal teams as well.

If thats something that sounds interesting, reach out and we can have a chat. Even if we're not a good fit, talking tech is always interesting.
This is the mission at Terraformation[0] (no affiliation)

These are excellent examples. I’ll throw one of my stories into the pot:

One time I had a client that was using a large and complicated C++ library to build a larger and yet more complicateder C++ program. It had an intermittent crash that they just couldn’t track down. The stack traces they showed me were always deep in the bowels of the C++ library, in places no crash should ever be. The library was open source and widely used; I _knew_ that it didn’t just crash in any of those places.

I recorded it in rr a few times until I captured the crash. I set a watchpoint on the memory address of the crash, and ran the program backwards from the crash. (Memory addresses are stable in the replay, making this kind of thing super easy.) A few seconds later it stopped on the line that was responsible; turns out they were accidentally overwriting the method pointer to the deconstructor in the vtable of this one class. Eventually one of those objects would go out of scope on some random thread, and need to be deconstructed. BOOM. I checked a few of the recordings where it didn’t crash, and in those cases it had just overwritten something much less obvious, like a string containing HTML that it had downloaded.

My advice? First, always make sure your pointers are initialized correctly before you go dereferencing them. You won’t like what happens otherwise.

Second, learn rr. With rr, and a little brain–sweat, you can do in a couple of hours what an entire team of engineers couldn’t do in months. Admittedly they had a lot of things on their plate, but it’s definitely a superpower. I think this might have been the first time I ever ran rr, too; some of that time was getting rr built and installed. I think I even had to ask a question on the IRC channel, because there was a confusing error message.

Third, learn Rust. This was a few years back, when Rust was little more than a crazy idea. If the program had been written in Rust, there would have been a lot fewer landmines for them to step on. That’s a rather different kind of superpower. Incidentally, you can combine these superpowers… but that’s a story for another day.
Off topic remark:
your comment has my upvote already for just linking to old reddit.
Yes, I've mentioned the first point in my post. I could imagine this is the main reason for the better results. The second point is also good to consider. I hope a third factor is that frontend developers actually do care more about making their website more accessible.
I understood it as: he married and divorced someone else, then started dating his first ever love after GP said that. He probably realized the depth of his relation with his first love.
I tried the app on my mojave macbook and it's throwing an error when trying to connect to the headphone (I sent the details to your email). Hopefully it's something that easy to fix as there are many people like me who still stuck on mojave for the time being due to 32-bit apps support.
Where's the interview? I see just two paragraphs introduction, and then a list of links to (unrelated) books and articles.
You can be <anything>.org but it doesn't mean people will find your website, or use it, or tell other people to use it, or even trust it in the first place. Same goes for <anything>.com, <anything>.net, etc.

.org is a great way for low-income websites to stay on the internet. I run a tiny organization, so I use .org.
> at a fraction of the cost

That might also be the reason. If something is cheaper, it feels inferior.

Also with diamonds it's probably a factor that the fiancé is expected to present serious intents with a deeper monetary investment. "Look honey, it's an ethical, clean diamond and only cost 1/20th of a dirty one" sad, but feels wrong.

Edit: I also remember a guy at dinner party bragging about buying a 5000EUR ring, it goes both ways.
You don't need a mobile app to set these headphones up at all. Everything is available on the device with phyiscal buttons (part of the reason it's such a good pair of headphones), the tech existed before people became conditioned on having apps for everythng.
I enjoyed this article. Especially his discussion of writing filler text in scripts that would be ironed out later during rewrites. I see a nice correlation to writing software. Get it working in general and then go back and optimize it.
>If your business is to force people into slavery, then it is part of your business to remove other avenues for them to get out of slavery.

I suspect your sentence got a little mangled. It sounds like you're saying that businesses should try to prevent people from getting out of slavery by removing other avenues by which they could free themselves.

I suspect you mean that they should create those avenues for freedom, instead.
I have the same feeling. OP might can ask for donations, but charging is way too risky
What about cutting off those who condescend others without recognizing the limits of their own understanding?

I’m not an expert in this but I know that “optimally encoding a video” is an actual job. That’s because there’s no global definition of optimal (it varies depending on the source material and target devices, not to mention the costs of your compute, bandwidth, and time); you’re doing it multiple times using different codecs, resolutions, bandwidth targets, etc.; and those change regularly so you need to periodically reprocess without asking people to come back years later to upload the iPhone 13 optimized version.

This brings us to a second important concept: YouTube is a business which pays for bandwidth. Their definition of optimal is not the same as yours (every pixel of my masterpiece must be shown exactly as I see it!) and they have a keen interest in managing that over time even if you don’t care very much because an old video isn’t bringing you much (or any) revenue. They have the resources to heavily optimize that process but very few of their content creators do.
> In my case I bought a joke ring that cost me about 2$ in a toy store.

I love it.

My ring was a spinner, which people find far more interesting than some pretty stones in it. It cost about $10.

Hers was one with a fingernail-sized stone the colour of her eyes, that cost a few hundred.

The metals matched on eyesight, which was good enough for us.

The rings represented what we expected from our marriage - to join us, the way we were, rather than some showy way of expressing our love. We're no longer in the age of selling a ring to get by if a marriage falls apart or something else happens.
Honestly I’m surprised they didn’t do this earlier
You don't. It's entirely their failure to set expectations without prior technical consultation. In this case they'll get the blame.

They'll blame you, and you can blame the external partner, but this line of blame nobody cares about.
A currency’s value is the trust that you will be able to exchange it in the future for something you want.

An army can help that by signaling the stability of the country. An army alone does not do the job though, the real value lies in the trust and organization of the society itself. The more of that there is, the more others will believe the currency will be able to buy something they want, since organized societies with high trust are able to produce desirable things.

A secondary concern an army helps with is enforcing laws and preventing fraud, such as counterfeiting. If you know the US is not going to let some other tribe or country counterfeit their country, and has the capability to stop them, it helps you trust the currency more.

Obviously, the armed forces aren’t directly involved in the first few layers of conflict, but it’s always advantageous to have the ability to park an aircraft carrier fleet off someone’s coast during negotiations.
Damn, should have taken that BCG director for digital something job when it was offered to me :-( - small army of back-office staff sounds refreshing after decades of startups and lean tech companies.
Food supply is a strategic priority for any country, and a bit of surplus is to be expected as you want such important things to have a slight slack built into them and not break under stress.

Not everything is done in the name of 110% efficiency.

" seems to be a normal reaction to worsening life conditions and not merely a brain chemicals imbalance"

Just to make a distinction here. Worsening life conditions will also cause a "chemical imbalance" so it would look the same. The problem with people who have a Mental Illness is that the mood changes appear without any "known" life changes, which makes it harder to find the cause.

For me it is diet and environment that seem to have caused most of my issues.

Depression is a symptom, always, since it is caused by something more fundamental.
How to Sell in the Digital Era – The Digital Sales Institute
Engagement rings are rings of ownership - They are a marker to tell other prospective suiters that the wearer is is 'off the market' and belongs to someone else.

If you think you are any kind of forward thinking person, you would not be on board with this archaic practice at all.

Also, De Beers invented[1] the concept of diamond-based engagement rings back when diamond jewellery sales were at an all time low, as a business-saving incentive. There zero romance in buying one for your partner.

OK, but then there's still a physical difference, purchasing the physical object, including original box, published by nintendo, or reprogramming your own generic which will contain different electronics.

But yes, as I said above, there is value to some people in the rarity and uniqueness of that original, even if you could pump out something that is to all intents and purposes identical.

But diamonds aren't all that rare, the market is managed to restrict supply, even with that everyone and their grandmother has one on their finger. And few people (other than geologists I guess) are really bothered about the back story here. They have an idea about what's "real", and what's not, but that can change.

(I also think where we're just talking about lumps of a material, it's slightly different to a manufactured object, perhaps)

Psychiatric conditions are physical conditions.

No, this was done with living subjects.
You are Gish-galloping at this point. Yes, Anglo-Americans making fun of Anglo American names is not racist, nor is a group of people exclusively joking about names from their own culture. But that’s not the situation here.

Jokes that begin more innocently can turn racist; happens all the time. It’s best not to allow them to turn in that direction by including the types of jokes that racists always love to latch on due to an element of plausible deniability.

If people took all the mental energy they expended in being apologists for inappropriate behavior and simply applied it to finding ways to enjoy time with others that don’t have all these issues, none of this would ever be a problem.
My Grandfather’s Memory Book (2018)
> Of course, making such simplifications sort of defeats von Neumann's original purpose

Yes. In von Neumann's last book "Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata", he thought about machines having viable offspring. This was more than a trick with patterns. He had invented the architecture of working computers, and was now moving on.

As a math grad student at Harvard around 1980, the wine flowed freely on Friday afternoons. I nevertheless headed over to the biology department, where cannabis-fueled discussions centered on work like von Neumann's.
Signal to noise ratio.

> Does anyone, other than geologists of course, really care about the back-story of the diamond, how it was created and how it was mined?

Yes, very much so, as is the case with all lifestyle products. People want to believe that they’re buying something special.
Hm, that makes sense but it's also a bit of a stretch from the GP's comment, I especially don't understand why the wife doesn't count as a girlfriend.
Nice attempt at pulling meaningful matters out of the noise. I think this will benefit from greater network effects if the app explained the use cases better. Somehow the ‘p2p simple job notifications’ phrase doesn’t really tell me anything.

Also, noticed a bug in the app on iOS where you sign up and then get taken to the Timeline for the first time. If you slide back for whatever intuitive reason, you get taken back to the login screen and you can’t login unless you fully close and reopen the app.

All of which can either be recreated in a lab now, or are likely to be possible before long. See for example synthetic star sapphires.

Blogposts like this don't really help -- someone knocks up a basic WebRTC implementation for a weekend project, reckons it's better than what the specialists do and wants to show it off. That puts the message out that WebRTC is easy, when in reality scaling it to production usage with a full feature set has a hell of a lot of challenges.

It would be better if this sort of thing was heavily caveated ("this is the Hello World of WebRTC") because otherwise a lot of people (non-technical types, junior engineers) see it and think -- well we can do that, should take us a few weeks max.
The only reason people buy "nice" locks is because the cheap ones can be fiddly (and it should be obvious why that might be undesirable). Trigger locks are dumb compliance box checking exercise that provides little security (for mostly the same bunch of reasons anything short of full disk encryption doesn't help you if you lose your device). Of course they're cheap and crappy by default. Anyone who wants security buys a safe.
Right, using DAI means you don’t have to actually touch the original video (good!) but doesn’t stop a smart enough client (youtube-dl) from pattern matching and ignoring those segments when stitching the final video together.

I am not, however, suggesting that encoding ads into the final stream is appropriate or scalable, though!
