I can't tell if I'm missing something here because for some reason I think you're expecting the answer to be "no"?

But, yes DVD players come with license agreements, EULAs.
Agreed, seeing those pics of the kids standing next to the fossil warmed my heart. We need more hands on science.

One thing I always thought would be cool would be to take say the 100 most famous experiments -- from Galileo rolling balls down an incline to Hertz measuring the strength of an electromagnetic fields based on the number of footsteps from the center, and do them in an afterschool program or homeschool program. Lots of kids would enroll, and it would be quite a bit of fun.

FYI, Amazon is selling the connections DVD series for 20 bucks now -- Burke covers a lot of the great experiments.

> I have a hard time understanding why you would want a company to tell you what you can and cannot use a device for. Their suggestions are always welcome, but why would you be in favour of their restrictions?

1. I'm in favor of locked-down devices for certain classes of users, because it reduces the technical support burden, one that I might otherwise be saddled with!

2. I'm willing to put up with walled gardens that have high-quality software, such as certain iPhone games and music apps, or first-party Nintendo games on the Switch. DRM is irritating, but I can live with it if it doesn't get in my way too much.

3. I'm in favor of several of Apple's developer restrictions that are aligned with my priorities of privacy, security, and battery life, so I'm willing to put up with the others that support Apple's business interests. Sideloading obviously makes such restrictions less enforceable.
for now rubs hands
Just use email - except to make your point about just using email. For that, you need a blog.
Not as far as I can tell. What are you seeing?
> So, if some guy hides it in your bag at the airport, with the intention of finding where you live, and you get to your home within the same day, you wont be notified about it for many days, or possibly months, if you leave your bag stationary at home.

IMO, this is just proof that the impossible is being asked of Apple here.

Totally legitimate use case: you put an AirTag in your bag while at the airport. The bag is stolen and you use the tag to track the bag to the thief's home. You're able to recover your bag.

Illegitimate use case: you put an AirTag in someone else's bag while at the airport. That person takes it home and you use the tag to find out where they live.

In the first case, any form of notification to the thief would be non-ideal and go against the point of having an AirTag (tracking missing / stolen objects). In the second case, nothing but immediate notification would be sufficient. So unless tracking products are not to exist at all, there will have to be uses of them that are illegal but not technologically preventable.
Ask HN: What's the best way to protect a network against ransomware?
It is really not obvious that it would be worse experience than sitting it with your fiberglass hull. (Clearly worse than an aluminum hull though.) This happens all the time in the Pacific Northwest where I boat, floating logs. Worst are the deadheads, waterlogged so they float vertically just below the surface. Never known anyone to actually sink, but there've been a few destroyed propellers and thousands of bucks worth of hull repair.
That does raise the question of where group consciousness ends though:

* Is my family conscious?

* Is my community conscious?

* Is my country conscious?

* Is the universe conscious?

I like the term "type hint" because that really is exactly what they are.

Typecheckers like mypy are (1) optional, and (2) are only as good as the type hints themselves. Unlike with a language that's actually statically typed, the relation of the type annotations to the actual types of the data operates largely on the honor system, so the type checking is more a validation of internal consistency than full-on static type safety. Which is fine, and well within Python's "We're all adults here" ethos. It's just that it's still not anywhere near the level of rigor you get out of the type checker in a language like OCaml.

Where are you getting this? If you joined Coinbase in January, your equity was granted at an $8bn valuation. Today it’s at $56bn for a quick 7x in 5 months.
I imagine this was somewhat tongue in cheek, otherwise her boss at The Cut might say “ya know what, good idea, we’re letting you go to pursue a job that appeals more to you.”
> It literally is just an electronic equivalent of sending a letter, and inherits most of the limitations that implies

that's not giving email enough credit. Email has zero limitations unlike real snail mail - the email client is the limitation, and that's "just" software.

The fact that gmail client was so successful is evidence that email could've been _the_ premiere platform for open communication. Instead, we now have many separate walled gardens vying for dominance. Imagine how the world would've been if snail mail back in the 20th century needed different stamps for different recipients!

> Per-flight costs for the shuttle was $1.6 billion USD (2010 dollars).

That was the improved cost. In the late 80s I interviewed at the contractor running shuttle ops (Lockheed missiles & space?). The head of the NASA project office told me it was close to 2.4 giga$ to turn around a shuttle and they hoped to cure that with a new prime contractor arrangement (and also fix the management problem that was the proximate cause of the Challenger disaster, but apparently only suppressed it for a time...)
what was important to me is that a state space search can generate similar walks even though the species might have no genetic legacy link [0], which makes evolution trees just too shallow an abstraction (but again, I never read real books about the matter, maybe the trees we see regularly are only one part of the theory)

[0] two organism can evolve light sensing because of appropriate context and some luck for instance, but you can't search for a common ancestor based on this

The Decline of Intel
I think the key point here is "outside of work".

I think the thrust of this article is mostly work related. He talks about being a consultant and seeing people waste so much time on SaaS tools, for example.

Personally I don't mind using "throwaway" services in my personal life - all your examples are things that don't matter - but for important stuff like work I want one place with all my information - not lots of crappy silos that don't integrate that I have to search for that key bit of information.
I am a professional SWE and am exploring several music-oriented startup ideas at the moment. I definitely do not promise anything, but would love to stay in touch in case I get funded in the (distant) future. I will message you on GitHub.

Nothing wrong with specializing.
This probably won't fly in Germany as Germans are very privacy cautious. Germany is a hole in the Google Street View Europe coverage because of this.

They can limit some functionality and the Germans might be O.K. with it, however the margin in functionality would be someone else's opportunity.
I just heard an ad on the radio from a local grocery store chain, advertising jobs in their warehouse and saying they pay $20/hr, have benefits, insurance, etc.

A number of businesses have signs on the doors saying they are hiring at $15/hr - I think Burger King, Home Depot...

It's disappointing that when Republicans say unemployment benefits are preventing people from going back to work, that Democrats just deny it - they should say "yes of course, that's the point!" And then go on to explain why it's good for the economy and idolatry of unemployment numbers is wrong.
Superhistory, Not Superintelligence
Perceptions of prices are up more than prices are.

I did some grocery shopping for my parents the other day. Three tomatoes, three green peppers, a half gallon of milk, one bunch of bananas, and a soup bread. "Give me a twenty(USD)," I said. "No way, prices are higher than that," said my dad. "Take two."

The bill came out to $13.60.
Are you suggesting that the German government try to prevent its citizens from using Facebook "for their own good"?
Email isn't owned by anyone. It will always be there as a refuge for people when the owners of the current platform turn the frog kettle up too fast.
> Plus, who cares if my good friend knows where I am at any time?

I would guess that my father would have also said "who cares" if his best friend knew where he was at all times. Until he found out that his "best friend" did detailed reports on him to the stasi for Years. You never know with these kind of things.

Giving up your privacy for the tiny convenience of not needing to spend 5 seconds to write a message after you arrived home sounds insane to me.

> If I didn't want them to, I'd just disable the location.

Why is that the logic you apply here? It could easily be applied the other way around: If I want them to know, then I can enable it temporarily.

Doesn't that make much more sense than the opposite?
I’m sure you would gain a lot of satisfaction from it.

I remember there were plans to require large social platforms, of which Facebook is the largest, to at least provide an equal access to as much API as their official apps have, and at most support interoperability (federation).
IBM seems to claim Gartner coined the term:

>At this point there is very little economic sanctions US could impose on China that Trump didn't already either try or talk about.

This is incorrect.

Trump/Pompeo would have instituted US capital market controls (and pension fund disinvestment) had they been re-elected. That destroyed the USSR, and would have shattered China in a matter of 24 months. At a high level, BRI/etc. rely on a few trillion USD from New York.

What Biden needs to do is re-enforce the Trump actions that were rolled back, and continue the capital controls. However, the Biden family is involved in CCP corruption, and Biden's Chief of Staff is a CCP lobbyist.

In addition, CCP assets can be seized globally for the Wuhan corona - I think $10 million per death plus $100,000 each for the remainder of the globe would work.
It's weird how people are still acting as if Donald Trump has been effectively erased from existence by the all-powerful, Orwellian jackboot of the deplatformers, when here we all are in a thread whose OP is an article by NBC News covering his weblog.

I mean... we're all supposed to be terrified of the example that's been made of Trump but he seems to be doing just fine.

We've run into some issues with getting AWS Batch to play nicely, though I wouldn't say it is Metaflow specific. Initially we did quite a bit of troubleshooting the Stuck in RUNNABLE errors. We sometimes have issues with batch jobs that can't be satisfied by our compute environment causing other jobs in a queue to be blocked.

There are other small issues, but overall our ML engineers are very happy with it as a tool.
If we're doing Aphex stories, my favourite one is that Selected Ambient Works II was made via Lucid Dreaming.

Lost In Space - Interview with RDJ by David Toop (March 1994, The Face)

Broaching this subject of dreams, he becomes animated and talks a long streak. "This album is really specific," he says, "because 70 percent of it is done from lucid dreaming... To have lucid dreams is to be conscious of being in a dream state, even to be capable of directing the action while still in a dream. I've been able to do it since I was little," Richard explains. "I taught myself how to do it and it's my most precious thing. Through the years, I've done everything that you can do, including talking and shagging with anyone you feel that takes your fancy. The only thing I haven't done is tried to kill myself. That's a bit shady. You probably wouldn't wake up, and you wouldn't know if it had worked, anyway. Or maybe you would.

"I often throw myself off skyscrapers or cliffs and zoom off right at the last minute That's quite good fun. It's well realistic. Eating food is quite smart. Like tasting food. Smells as well. I make foods up and sometimes they don't taste of anything—like they taste of some weird mish-mash of other things."

...

"About a year and a half ago," he says, "I badly wanted to dream tracks. Like imagine I'm in the studio and write a track in my sleep, wake up and then write it in the real world with real instruments. I couldn't do it at first. The main problem was just remembering it. Melodies were easy to remember. I'd go to sleep in my studio. I'd go to sleep for ten minutes and write three tracks - only small segments, not l00 percent finished tracks. I'd wake up and I'd only been asleep for ten minutes. That's quite mental.

"I vary the way I do it, dreaming either I'm in my studio, entirely the way it is, or all kinds of variations. The hardest thing is getting the sounds the same. It's never the same. It doesn't really come close to it. When you have a nightmare or a weird dream, you wake up and tell someone about it and it sounds really shit. It's the same for sounds, roughly. When I imagine sounds, they are in dream form. As you get better at doing it, you can get closer and closer to the actual sounds. But that's only 70 percent of it."
> US corporations created the "big enemy" China by exporting jobs there during the last 40 years

I've noticed that for the most part every time a corporation export jobs it's the corporation's fault. Whenever a corporation brings jobs to the US the politicians get credit for good policy.
I would expect that the US government would apply diplomatic pressure to prevent such outcomes as it would lead to copycat measures.
Severe burnout and severe depression, both of which go hand-in-hand, are really difficult if not impossible to understand and appreciate for those who haven't been through it themselves.

At some point some people come to a breaking point... what used to be known as a "nervous breakdown". I think of it as a progressive paralysis, a psychological (not physical) inability to continue.

The lucky ones can "just snap out of it", take a break and come back refreshed, or switch jobs and everything's ok again.. or at least bearable.

For the rest of us, it's not so easy. Yet, paradoxically, and this can be a source of tremendous guilt, "getting over it" should be the easiest thing in the world.

"You just..." fill in the blank.. pick up the phone, dial the number, take a shower, brush your teeth, get out of bed, put on your clothes, go to work, do what you know how to do and what you've been doing for X number of years all along, deal with your colleagues, deal with your boss, eat your lunch, eat your dinner, go back to sleep, wake up for another day, rinse and repeat day in and day out again and again...

Some can manage it, but for some it gets to be too much.. simple things, such simple things... most can do it, their whole lives, they just do it, why can't we?
How are you getting the $8bn number[1]?

In any case, that's moot. Because if you join now (after they are making this change), your equity is being valued at ~$60bnm so the upside is significantly lower.

[1] If that's from the valuation at last funding round, then that's being disingenuous since no one thought that they are worth 8b then, and I would be surprised if they were offering equity at the valuation.
Of course, any house totally shielded with a Faraday cage would look extra suspicious and thus receive closer scrutiny. You'd need most of the house to be non-shielded to act as a honeypot while maintaining a small shielded section of the house for "emergencies".

If you want up-to-the-second research results on Wi-Fi vulnerabilities, you are welcome to start your own research group, generate your own results, and share them however you'd like. You are not entitled to access to other people's results on your own terms.

I'm not a believer in coordinated disclosure and long embargoes (I think P0 does it just about right, though I'd make it 45 days instead of 90). But if I was offered information about a protocol vulnerability under a long embargo, accepted it, and then broke the embargo terms, I wouldn't whine about it next time when I wasn't included. Honestly: I wouldn't whine about it under any circumstances, even if I studiously complied with the embargo. Because we're not entitled to other people's work.
JavaScriptCore can’t JIT when run in process, the entitlement isn’t there on your app, so the kernel won’t let it. I think that’s part of the reason for WKWebView (which runs the browser in a separate process and proxies it).

Similar to how some companies are intent on speaking about themselves and employees as "family," you may be having the same reaction from the word usage of "obsessed."

Of course, most companies say you must now be "obsessed" with customers, or quality, or some such things.

Language control in this respect seems a bit easier to understand with the phrase that became very popular for companies to try and model Apples consumers during the iPod revolution (at least how I remember it while studying a bit of Industrial psychology and Marketing / Cognitive Neuromarketing (that fad died out thankfully))

I'm sure its been around for a while, but its been more "we need brand evangelist fanatic zealots" for the last 10-20 years.

"Obsessed, evangelist, brand fanatic, turn your customers into zealots," etc is also used heavily in internal company "values."

*Guy Kawasaki at least helped promote the idea for other companies after he left Apple:

I was making the point that surviving without something in the past or currently is no reason not to improve it.
Sorry but the premise of this is bollocks. An atom moving between quantum energy states is in a superposition of the "before" and "after" states for some finite time which is related to the energy of transition. Just because that superposition was never observed does not mean it was thought not to exist.

Guess what modern technology the Arduino IDE uses?

Now that I have fully read the article I think this misses out on due credit though. The arduino cli looks pretty cool and there's no necessity per se to use the IDE 2.0 nor does it seem like there will be in the future. I just wish we weren't so reliant on web technologies to power what should really be native apps and it seems like everything uses electron nowadays.
You know, if I could have my time again, I think I would be a microbial ecologist. I would spend my time studying micro-organisms in their natural environment. I'd cut my way through forests of bacteria on a grain of sand. I would imagine myself in a submarine in a drop of water that seemed as large as a lake, and for one more turn around, I would be an explorer naturalist in a new world.

I was unable to find any useful information on the web about this vulnerability. The question on many minds is whether using a reverse proxy or layer 7 loadbalancer is sufficient protection for IIS servers exposed to the internet. Most of the analyses I found simply said "specially crafted packet to a targeted server utilizing the HTTP Protocol Stack (http.sys)" which doesn't really tell us much - Packet is a layer 3 terminology, and we're talking about everything from L3-7.
Fair enough. I'm trying to link up these liabilities with the growth I think they originally supported, but I'm not articulating it well, and likely read too much into your comment.

Thank you for asking a question instead of resorting to a flame war. I'll try to come up with a better way to get my point across.
This came up a while back and no one seemed to be able to say what tax is paid on inventory. The best we could work out was you need a warehouse and warehouses are taxed as they are real estate.

JIT is about freeing up capital (which in the 80s when JIT came in was expensive). It also reduces waste a lot.
We study yeast like crazy. Hint: it's not because of bread. And the knock-on effects of studying yeast have been good for other fields (students t-test e.g.)
Vendor ID and device ID together indicate a specific device. If you make a physically and electrically compatible device, it would make sense to also indicate that fact by duplicating the vendor and device IDs.

There's no 'legality' involved in duplicating device codes. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.". The practice is widespread of using the same code numbers for interchangeable devices by differing manufacturers: batteries (AAA, AA, 2025, etc), thermionic valves/tubes (6A7, 12AG8, etc), ICs (555, Z80, 8085, etc), and so on and so forth.
I feel so bad for him. He clearly had so many better things to do than die for the “honor” of a woman he wasn’t even sleeping with but somehow ended up in that situation.
This gives cart blanche to mark the price increases of each car year as hedonic adjustments. The BLS can simply say the price increase is due to enhancements. While some fraction of the increase is due to improvements, at least a portion is due to direct inflation.

Further, if the reality is that a 1990 equivalent car cannot be purchased today - then the consumer who could only afford the 1990 accord will instead buy used. Is this person going to feel wealthier than they did in 1990?
