I think Apple is already on its way for a convergent device with the Apple silicone. They've already unveiled an iPad with an M1 chip and in the near future we would get iPhones with powerful chips which is able to act as a fully functional MacBook once the phone is connected to an external monitor/TV, of course with a bluetooth keyboard and a mouse.

They can retool very, very quickly. The slight unknown is running another trial.
There is a popular modern form of thought that developers should be the ones to decide which versions of their software are running sheets anywhere and what versions they are; that they are entitled to that level of control, and should exercise it because their users cannot be trusted to make an informed decision about running outdated and insecure software.

I think it's paternalistic and egotistical but the usual counterpoint is grandma getting a virus because Windows is unknowingly out of date. With developer tooling that holds a bit less water IMO.
There are tons of women out there who are successful COOs. Just to name a few: Amy Bohutinsky, Belinda Johnson and Catherine Bessant--not to mention the all-time greats like Sheryl Sandberg.

If I were you, I'd try to learn from how these women overcame sexism like what you have faced, by watching or reading interviews with them. Or, you could even try to find COOs that could mentor you, by cold-emailing or finding them through your network. I'll bet there are lot of successful women out there who can find the time to at least take a 15 minute meeting with an up and coming female executive.

Long story short...it's 2021. We have tons of successful female COOs and of course it's possible for you to get a COO role if you can differentiate yourself from your competitors. It doesn't come easy for anyone to get a title like that, but it's absolutely possible.

I wouldnt jump to conclusions, as we haven't seen the real impact of the vaccines yet. We still don't know if they actually prevent all-cause deaths. We also don't know anything about long term side effects.
Sorry OP, this is naive on every level, economic, political, environmental, psychological, etc... Every assumption you made to form your proposal is incorrect.

You need to do a bit more research into the fundamental mechanisms of Bitcoin. Read and understand the white paper (it's widely available and widely talked about). Namely the game theory behind why proof of work is so powerful and compelling. Also some research and intuition building into how big numbers work, human psychology, group dynamics, the foundations of political theory, and the history of economics would help answer your questions.

To address your plan, step by step:

Gamers aren't a united front. They're not that pissed off.

Bitcoin and crypto aren't causing crime (weapons don't cause crime, humans use weapons to commit crimes when they have an opportunity and a motive) and their negative environmental impact is minimal compared to, say, big oil. You'd have to look at where the electricity comes from for each miner to do that, and nobody's done that as far as I can tell. All I've seen it total electricity use, not source of said electricity. Some of it is renewable and/or carbon neutral.

If they did get together and start a mining pool they would likely keep the money they make. It would take a severe pathology to form a huge group and then burn money. The electricity used to mine those coins costs money.

It does happen but it's astonishingly rare:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_Foundation_Burn_a_Million_Qu...

Nobody is going to deposit their coins into a write-only wallet.

Those useless transactions wouldn't take up a lot of block space. See again about burning money.
Is pickpocketing still a thing? My perception is that between wallets full of plastic and phones that can be remotely locked, it has almost completely disappeared. I remember being told to be wary in crowded places as a kid, but nowadays I'm very careless and nothing happens.

Bike thefts though, they are a serious issue that I plan my life around.

The wiki on Normans in Ireland cites Brenden Bradshaw on what the Irish called them but that applied only to Donegal apparently.
> That’s why they’ve excelled in font rendering, colour accuracy, sound fidelity, and input-lag.

That'll be why mac laptops connect to bluetooth speakers using the worst default settings for sound fidelity so it sounds like a dying frog.

And the input lag is quite terrible when the machine is under any load.
They said it would be unsporting and they would feel bad about themselves for cashing in.
To me this (the microwave part) just sounds like jumping to conclusions. I mean why not some (toxic) knock out gas? It reminds me of the cartoon pinky and the brain:`we use microwave and coffee creamer, everybody will believe our miracle, because nobody knows how these things work.
> I doubt you find yourself needing to look at the president’s ears to tell if it’s Bush or Reagan

Indeed!

But I was really just listing the discriminators for the benefit of people who perhaps haven't looked at chimps very hard. For a few of the chimps, I can look and immediately say "that's Bart" or "that's Thelma".

This may of course be my mind having internalised a few distinct 'settings' of the discriminators. But the overall effect, coming back to my original point, is that apparently without conscious thought I can recognise specific individual non-humans. The Primate Care Staff, who work with these individuals 24/7, have very good at-a-glance recognition for the entire community.
Interesting that there’s no discussion of forgeries? I feel like with Bob Ross paintings they’re the perfect target for forgeries. No one knows how many real paintings exist, anyone can copy them by just watching a video and as long as you practice the signature a bit yours is indistinguishable from the original.
Is that another proprietary algorithm?
That's an unreasonably low standard for wealth. I do that and I'm below the median salary for my country (western Europe).
HP also has one. It's more expensive than normal ones, so it doesn't smell like razor-cartridge business model.

I'd happily buy one of these but, my current one runs like a champ and it's ink-advantage model, so it's really cheap to run.

A bunch of replies to this are "I implemented my own version of What3Words". That sport has been around for a few years now. https://what3emojis.com/ is probably the most long-lived; I'm writing from telephone bus eggplant. (Hacker News' lack of emoji support makes interop here a little difficult.)

Unfortunately http://www.what3fucks.com/ seems to have ended their incredible journey.

It's a really stupid idea for addressing, triply so when you consider the pathetic little proprietary word database that's What3Words tool for extracting rents. Geohash is the oldest system that solves the problem of "give me a short textual name for a place" and has a nice ability to get more precise.
Paranoia is the feeling that you're being threatened in some way, such as people watching you or acting against you, even though there's no proof that it's true. It happens to a lot of people at some point. Even when you know that your concerns aren't based in reality, they can be troubling if they happen too often
for most thing that I do with my brand new microwave, I only need to push one button to get it going ... I don't think that my microwave from the 90s could do that
That might be a generational thing. I can't remember the last time I ever used my phone as a phone.

Also, what you're calling complexity, I see as simplicity. In my ideal world, I wouldn't need to install three different versions of a web browser across three devices in order to get through my day.
The only problem is there’s no indication on the pager whether or not you’re in range, and no way to know whether you missed a page due to being out of range.

At the same time, the reason they’re still used is there’s no good modern alternative in a lot of ways (battery life, range).

Troubleshooting paging issues is one thing I do not miss from my time in healthcare I.T.

Well all these convoluted rules and workarounds are “dumb” from an objective point of view, in that there is no objective reason for their existence.

Depending on the vaccine, they are all only X% effective, so this type of thing is expected. I think too many people try to use these cases as “evidence” that the vaccines are fake, or the government is just trying to control people, but some just not being effective is really just how it’s expected to work.
Sure, but it's nice that Windows is coming along in terms of developer-friendliness.
9dB is really not a lot. If you're going to be sending 10kW+ of radiation 9dB of directionality still means you're gonna light up the whole neighborhood.
That's my take on it, but I've ran into people praising it like it was alien theory of everything dropped by gods as a gift.

I like python but I'm a bit fed up with the mobthink (how surprising).
To reply myself:

I actually do see a strong connection between a state magazine activly promoting the awesomeness of that state - while that same state is activly doing the holocaust more or less in secret.

Because people believing propaganda leads to less resistance to the Nazi forces military and diplomatically, effectivly meaning more jews could be gassed.

But .. there is likely no point here, debating this any further.
A small bit of trivia:

In the days of HP Deskjet 500C/510/550C trio, HP sold official black cartridge refill kits. It was a bit clunky, but you inserted your cartridge to a contraption, pulled some levers in order presented on the device and you'd have an officially refilled cartridge.

The black cartridges on these printers were transparent, held really liquid ink to the brim and the refill device had aluminum, HP branded ink bottles. Oh, the cartridges had air-pillows inside to maintain a positive pressure at all times.
You could, but keep in mind mRNA occurs in 3D and thermodynamic and kinetic forces play a huge role in biochemistry, so it’s quite a bit more complicated than your average program.
No? Water is a "chemical". The contents of your digestive tract would probably sound scary to most people as well (hydrochloric acid in the stomach, chenodeoxycholic acid in the intestine, among others).

The reason for putting it in a case is not the price tag. People buy 100k cars and don't cover the outer surfaces with protective plastic.

The problem is Apple builds the phone in a fragile manner, prone to breaking and scratching. It's true of other phones too.
> browser checks of yore

The same shit is happening today, except it's Chrome instead of IE6. We have an entire generation of webdevs who learned fuck-all from the previous round of the browser wars.
Well, push messages :)

The problem is, if the Mac can't reach APNS, it won't get informed when there's update to things like MDM profiles. If I push a new MDM profile it happens immediately on a Mac that receives push notifications. On a Mac that doesn't, it can take more than a day!

This is something I'm fighting with our network team about because they're not allowing that traffic right now. Understandable, but for proper management it's necessary to make changes quickly sometimes when a user needs to get an exception applied. It's also necessary for things like iMessage but we don't allow that in work anyway (at least not for work purposes)

We're running an internal proxy but APNS doesn't work through a proxy, they need to make an exception for it so it can go out direct.
It sounds to me like GP is hinting that the rate of particle emission for a given mass of uranium (maybe just the more fissile U-235?) is deliberately misreported in the literature. The way people originally determined that value experimentally was to count the light flashes produced over a period of time by a source of ionizing radiation placed at one end of a vacuum tube. I'm not a physicist, so hopefully someone can correct me if I'm barking up the wrong tree here.
Aren't we then shooting ourselves in the foot then by being scared of burning trash/plastic waste? As an interim before solving all plastic waste, it seems like a much better solution than just stacking plastic into giant dumps.
So basically the model was just a single layer neural net with extra proprietary data?

I obviously don't know all the details here, as this is, by definition, just one person's version of events. That said, I'm always highly skeptical of any account that essentially paints many/most others in the org as the source of the dysfunction, and if only they implemented my brilliant idea would things get fixed.

All large organizations have varying degrees of dysfunction, some more than others. Sometimes that dysfunction is toxic, but other times it's just a result of people being human with different opinions of how best to do things. Coming in to a new organization and making an announcement that is some version of "you're doing it wrong", unless you're very high up in the org, is rarely successful.

All the major changes in my life in IT have centred around networking or 'friends' as I would call it.

Key opportunites have come from a school friend, the husband of a wife's friend, a friend from church and a friend I worked in a supermarket with in my teens.

I'm not sure how much you can make these things happen. Be a good friend and try to live in the moment. As in don't stress about what may or may not happen in 6 months. Plan, work hard and see what happens.

There is a lot of good advice here about joining tech communities. These are great spaces for learning...not sure about them being a place where others will have your back. Stick to people you can literally poke on that front :-)
This reminded me of this video covering this exact topic https://youtu.be/UiS27feX8o0

I put my phone in a case so that when I drop it, the corner of the case takes the brunt of the force instead of the phone itself. Unless the phone had a floating edge around it (essentially, a case), I would still need one.

(Yes, it’s still possible to drop my phone face down on a rock or something, but most of the times I’ve broken a phone screen, it’s been a crack in the glass emanating from a corner. Which makes sense, given the physics of the things.)
EmuTOS runs fine on Hatari on my Mac (never tried EmuTOS on real hardware). One thing to bear in mind is that some software, especially games, might not run on EmuTOS, but you ought to be able to find real TOS images without too much hassle.

It's nice to be able to read the source for EmuTOS as well (though I would love to see the source code for the real TOS).

One thing that I found really weird about the EmuTOS source is that the dependencies for certain system calls go in the wrong direction. For example, certain linea (primitive graphics) routines depend on functions in the VDI (high level graphics library), whereas I would have assumed that the dependencies would go the other way. Presumably they had reasons for doing that but it seemed odd to me when I discovered it.

I really enjoyed playing with Hatari and EmuTOS when I discovered them. I learned to program on an Atari ST when I was a kid and I still feel really sad that the platform reached a dead end and died back in the early 90s.
combining SHIFT with other keys often inverts their function (by design).

Space bar will scroll down the page of most web browsers. SHIFT+spacebar will scroll up.

Tab will move to a new element on a web form.

SHIFT+tab will move "backward" to the previous element in the form.
Apart from that being destructive testing, my guess is that the first time you burn something feels different than the second time you burn it. So you may well end up doing more damage without obtaining conclusive results.
A very important note: Pages are plaintext, they are not encrypted. Anyone with a radio can receive and decode all pages sent within reception range of that radio.

(which is evident when you read the article, but not called out explicitly)

This is a big deal for any use which involves private/sensitive/confidential data, as it can inform eavesdroppers about current issues, internal tools/architecture, personnel status, etc.

For example, do you want to know when a major cloud company is having an internal outage? Listen for pages which follow their internal notification format. Or maybe you want to know if a critical patient at a hospital is having troubles - listen for pages to their doctor. Does the military command center use pagers (I hope not) - that could be interesting too...

If your employer is using pagers, raise this issue to their security team (and share this great page showing how easy it is to eavesdrop). At the least, the pager messages should be as vague/simple as possible while still being useful. At the best...don't use pagers.

Pagers are already a poor choice - messages are delivered "with best effort" but there's no guaranteed sending, no receipt, no retries. If you're out of range (or signal blocked), the message is lost, and it's up to the sender to implement their own ack & retry system.

(I carried a pager for work for almost 15yrs)
Beside the size it's probably a tradeoff on mechanical integrity: a keyring can introduce immense mechanical stress. On my last tag the small loophole just broke away after a year on a key that was not used daily or in harsh environments. With the AirTag you can just replace a $2 third party accessory. Apple didn't have to engineer a very durable (maybe milled?) loophole, which would have increased cost.
It turns out I was thinking of the exposure/brightness controll.

Sorry I don't use iOS very often (and very rarely use the camera app.)

I think my point still stands though. The UI is not at all discoverable (and not all that ergonomic either which is why most people might tolerate some lack of discoverability.)
Cuba isn't exactly Switzerland. It has a long history of being a Soviet puppet state during the 20th century, and a nucleation site for anti-US activities elsewhere in Latin America. Furthermore, there would be no Maduro regime without the influence of Cuba, and that regime is expressly pro-Russia and destructive to Venezuela.

Let's not distill away the complexity of the situation.

Yes, but by how much, and the gravity is of course still getting figured out.

A lot of nutrients though has fallen between 5% and 40% - which is worrying because if it continues, who knows how much we are going to rely on supplements which lacks a lot of phytonutrients. Also, already healthy people have to double or triple their vegetable intake to meet daily reqs, which isn't feasible.

Fair point - switch white for upper middle class, my bad. I wasn’t making a point against them being humbling and learning experiences, but rather against the idea you can dip your toes in for a minute and be washed of your pretension (while writing an Atlantic article).
I don't think the existence of this product means it's impossible to earn money without using unethical proprietary practices. It just means that this company is yet another one where honestly selling a product one time for the customer's money is not enough. The goal, more and more often, is to lock the customer into a scheme where they will be milked monthly for even more money. It's just too bad these schemes are spreading into every product category. And since they are often disguised as normal products, it is getting easier and easier to accidentally get roped into one of these without realizing it.

Also consider that sugars in the blood cause a pH imbalance, and if they are not rapidly metabolized this causes damage to our organs (and diabetic symptoms). You could make the same argument that fires are a priority in the kitchen because a cook will address them first.
