I think to the swiss market, branding it as 100% swiss is both reasonable, and a positive point. So, not silly.

And for the international market, probably "swiss" is mostly to be understood as "not american/russian/chinese"
I wondered if this might happen when I first read that they were planning to release a Vue 2.7 backporting some 3.0 features to the 2.x branch.

Never seemed much point doing that and an IE port of 3.0, especially considering that 2.x works great on IE (even back to IE9 with transforms and polyfills!) if you absolutely have to support it.

Public services also have the benefit of being connected to the greater tax pool. If profitability is a goal of a public service, it shouldn't be measured in isolation. If the service causes an indirect increase economic activity it will cause a proportional increase in tax revenue.

> Monopolies are inherently harmful to the customer. A monopoly implies lack of competition.

I disagree. When you look at a company that is dominant in some part of the marketplace at a given point it time, you need to understand how they got there. The monopoly poster child Standard Oil rose-up when there used to be many more oil processing companies, but Standard Oil was able to do things for cheaper because they used more byproducts from the oil to create different products (which let them sell things like lamp oil for less). So sometimes monopolies rise-up because that one company is able to fill a market segment better than the competition.

The question then becomes, once they have a monopoly and others see this, how can potential competitors react. Can others copy (and improve) the same processing system that the monopoly has to produce a similar product for a similar price (maybe even less)? If so, then they can rise up and the original company will no longer be a monopoly. But if that original company takes steps to squelch the competition, you start getting into what the US has defined as "anti competitive" practices. These were developed because the past showed us that this leads to harming consumers.

We also have a lot of government granted monopolies. Copyright and IP law are time-limited monopolies on a given product. We have private business that operate on federal land (like national parks) that may be given a local monopoly within that region. Sometimes we make tradeoffs and grant monopolies.

I don't think people here are considering all forms of ransoms, but you hit on an interesting aspect of it all the same.

It's why, I think, such a law wouldn't pass Constitutional review.

If your person is threatened with imminent danger, you have a right to self-defense, we'll even let you commit intentional homicide if the threat is serious enough.

And self-defense also covers your property and livelihood to a lesser extent.

I think it'd be extremely hard to convince courts that this right to self-defense doesn't include negotiating with an attacker. Imagine if it were a crime to toss some money at a mugger and run away, for instance.
"It's usually not malicious, but lazy."

> My camera is from shortly after 2010, incidentally, and I don't see a need to upgrade.

Mostly same boat. I had (well, still have) a Nikon D70 from 2004. Just last year I benched it in favour of a Nikon D300s from 2009.

I've bought newer lenses because lenses have appreciably improved over the years, but in general I really don't think the camera tech has moved that far for most people's application.

I love Nikon, but I've spent... maybe $500 with them directly over my lifetime (35mm prime + 50mm prime bought new). With the F-mount remaining more-or-less compatible for over 60 years, there's a huge used market for their lenses and the older camera bodies are still workhorses a decade later.

It's sad, but the fact that they haven't been trying to wring every last cent out of the market with different lens mounts, planned obsolescence in the bodies, etc may in fact be a significant factor in their downfall.
Might as well be a very large subset. Just want to point it out.
1. At the moment, we've seen teams use Ditto to localize if they already localize their mockups (i.e. have mockups in different languages). However, we're releasing the ability to create variants of text (i.e. for translations, user states, etc.) not mocked up in the design in the upcoming week. It's been in development for a while (and to be honest we were hoping to release it before today), but still requires a bit more testing.

2. We built Ditto to specifically tackle product copy, whereas existing CMSs (including headless CMSs) are much more geared for marketing copy (longer form, clear H1/H2/body structure, authorship, etc.) -- which we think are pretty different use cases. With product copy and microcopy, teams have to think a lot more about how that fits into the UI/design/implementation; we're also excited about how our CLI can fit into teams' dev processes (like CI/CD) to streamline workflows!

3. Yup, we're super excited about all the potential extensions of Ditto, A/B testing included.

Interstellar is a great film but I would not consider it a scientifically accurate film.

Traveling through black holes would at least crush you via gravity or kill you from radiation.
If you're competent and happen to be wrong, admitting it underscores your competence. Conversely: you can't fight reality, but trying just makes you look worse.

For me, I've always respected people who admit they're wrong. It shows they know they're capable enough generally to show weakness and know it won't affect them negatively.

Basically, if admitting your mistake doesn't shed light onto anything but the fact that you made one mistake, it won't negatively affect you in a context in which you wish to be working.

If you're good at what you do, nobody who matters will not be convinced you're not by a single error. Additionally, if you have an area in which you recognize you need growth, humbly admitting that and taking steps to grow also looks amazing on you (again, to the people who matter).

I hope these points of perspective can help. It's anecdotal, but they're things I've re-discovered numerous times in my own and the professional lives of those around me whom I respect.

A practical step that would not be excessively costly would be to standardize the three types of rail in the US - local tram, commuter, and intercity/high speed (fun fact - depending on your definition of high speed rail current Amtrak trains can hit that, as on correct track and with positive train control they can do 125+ MPH).

If it's standardized it will be easier to make sure you can develop it piecemeal.
Strictly ties a given card's value to its rarity, instead of rarity*condition. Mainly useful for, well, rare cards.

If you own a rare card and damage it or lose the physical version, it's okay because the publisher will send you a new one for a small fee.

On top of this, it acts as proof of authenticity; if someone's trying to sell a rare card, instead of the buyer having to figure out whether it's a fake, the seller just has to prove ownership of the NFT and ideally the publisher would maintain a catalog of valid NFTs.

Trading these cards can use existing nft platforms instead of the publisher having to handle marketplace concerns; all the publisher needs to do is be able to issue the NFT to the owner of the physical card
idk, considering humans are the weakest link and socially engineering them is easy, I don't think they're going to end up much safer. A determined nation state will always be able to get in, at least with how computers currently work.
Coinbase is an interesting company. They're grossly underrated and laughed off as an online casino, but they invest all that money they make very wisely and strategically to grow the business.

I find another paragraph from that press release interesting:

>Traditionally people expect they need to negotiate for the best package after being hired in a new job. Those that do this well tend to be rewarded, and those that don’t lose out. These negotiations can disproportionately leave women and underrepresented minorities behind, and a disparity created early in someone’s career can follow them for decades. We want to do everything we can to ensure that’s not the experience at Coinbase. All employees in the same position, in the same location, receive the same salary and equity offer. No exceptions.

If this was mandated to be standard practice, instead of the insane approach some countries take with minority quotas and such, we'd be a lot further in terms of equality in the work place. Also salary negotiation favors aggressive and outgoing types, while there might be qualified candidates who get left behind just because of their personality.

My theory: the person in charge of a landing page doesn't want people bouncing off the site from the page they control (don't want the metrics to look bad!), so they tend to make it opaque to encourage click throughs. It doesn't matter what the best user experience is because they don't get measured on that. They get measured on bounce rate.

"Gravity" is the curvature of spacetime. An inertial "straight line" follows that curvature, like going "straight" on the Earth's surface draws a spatial curve. Remove what's supporting me (dirt, bridge) and I'll continue on my inertial straight line, which actually orbits and settles down to the center. Even "at rest" at the center/bottom of the gravity well is not zero inertia per se, it is a continuing inertial line orbiting with still-constant velocity at zero radius. Ergo gravity isn't a force; gravitational attraction is just masses' inertial lines being distorted by the infinite-reaching distortions of other masses. There is no "gravitational force" to unify with other forces. OMG.

I've been trying to get my head wrapped around gravity for years. You just tied the knot.

Next questions: why does mass distort spacetime? As E=mc^2, does/can energy distort spacetime? Mass & energy being just different units of the same thing, what's the nature of that thing without thinking in terms of divided mass/energy colloquial thought? And then questions on to weak & strong nuclear forces, and reconsideration of electromagnetic force.
These are the moments when I am at a sort of loss; maybe more accurately I realize that people live very different lives than what I came to expect as normal. I could not fathom a $900 obligation aside from rent, that I could already barely afford, at 25.
Turbo chargers are not heat recovery turbines they will not increase and engine thermal efficiency by any significant amount, diesels use turbo charging to increase power they are just as thermally efficient without them.

In order to utilize the increased air mass that forced induction creates more fuel must be injected, this should be obvious. Most turbo chargers do not engage under light throttle.

Turbo charger also adds significant cost and are not inexpensive to repair.

An actual useful heat recovery turbine is much larger and more complicated, all of the examples of one attached to diesels or fuel cell are either steam turbines as is the case with the Freightliner SuperTruck [1] or full gas turbines as is the case with some fuel cell implementations and some of those also have a secondary steam turbine [2].

The Freightliner still has a turbo charger like any diesel along with a recovery steam turbine, much of the effective heat recovery comes from capturing heat from the engine block itself not just hot exhaust gas.

Again your claim that a full heat recovery turbine is a simple as a electric motor is ABSURD.

Careful there. It is easy to do stupid things and so not get that growth. A HSR from middle of nowhere south Dakota to NYC grand central station will get approximately 0 riders - the distance (all distance in transport is measured in minutes not meters) is too far to commute every day, and there is nothing else to draw people.

I wish this didn't need to be pointed out, but there are a lot of stupid proposals out there. So be on the lookout - don't blinding support HSR: put support where it will be useful.

No, the intensity of light is not reduced. ISO is not gain. In other words, ISO 200 on full frame is the same as ISO 100 on M4/3 in terms of what actually happens inside the sensor. This is because of how the ISO standard is written.

As for light angle, it's a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics, that translates in optics as the conservation of étendue.

Basically what this means it that the amount of light captured from a light source is equivalent to the solid angle of light from that light source onto the entrance pupil - whose size is the focal length divided by the f number.

So basically, what determines in the same scene how much light is received by the sensor depends on the size of the aperture in milimiters.

So on a sensor of the same efficiency, it's the physical size of the aperture that determines how much light is captured.

Have you tested the laptop’s materials for offgassing?

I’ve had problems with offgassing odors that never seem to go away on multiple monitors, MacBooks and an iPad in recent years. This leads to headaches that makes it impossible to use the machines for more than a few minutes, even with good room ventilation.

It would be great to buy a laptop that is known to be low offgassing. I was wondering if a Framework laptop would have less glue and could be more effective offgassed in a shed by disassembling the components and ventilating.
