These Apps only really work when a large part of the population uses them. It can only record a contact if both persons are using the App. This means that contact detection frequency is more or less quadratic to the adoption frequency. If 1/2 of the population uses the app, you will only detect 1/4 of contacts. Likewise, with an adoption rate of 1/100 you will detect only 1/10000 of the contacts.

Also there are a lot of technical problems with proximity detection. There is a wide range of hardware (especially on Android) which makes it very difficult to calibrate the App to give uniform results. You can get wrong positives, e.g. through a wall, and false negatives, e.g. due to shielding.

It is a pity, the underlying algorithms are quite clever.
It's great to see the gains women are making.
Nope, the ones in the article are ASICs, so specifically for bitcoin. There are GPU based ones but the number of coins that you can mine with them is dwindling. You could probably reuse the beaglebone black or whatever little auxillary computer they're using but it's not really worth it. It's just e-waste.

You have a ton of heat with no power source to generate that heat ... so either they are stealing the electricity or have an illegal power plant of some kind. That is enough for a warrant for the electricity theft. The other evidence leads to their guess on what they think the electricity is being stolen for, but electricity was definitely being stolen.

What more do you want here?

The thing is - I read both EU and local regulations and they don't demand any certain approach to security. Nothing is stopping banks from providing a better experience except dire warnings and prescriptivism of security consultancies.

I talked with fintech founders and they mostly say "sure, we could give better user experience and then have a fight on our hands with auditors because we didn't fill out all the checkboxes from the reputable security consultancy that 'interprets' the requirements"
Such a shame there is no macOS support for the new '2021 Community Edition', for either x64 or the newer Apple silicon (M1). As ARM is supported for other platforms (even as a cross compiler only) - not sure why the whole Apple community is being missed out in this update, for both x64 and ARM. Guess AdaCore customers don't use Apple products any more, so hence no availability for the Community Edition either..? One of the benefits of using Ada was the great cross platform support for Linux, Window, and previously macOS.
Mining profitability hugely varies based on how much traffic there is on the ethereum network, since you have to pay higher fees to include your transaction in a block if there is a lot of demand. EIP 1559 changes the fee structure. It wants to burn the new basefee so miners don't profit from that, there is still a small tip part left though.

Facilities are leased and sometimes sub-leased all the time. Just because Joe's T-shirt Printing owns three warehouses doesn't mean they haven't rented one out to a yoga studio and another out to a machine shop.

Just because P&Q Precision Tool exists as a business in state records doesn't mean you have any idea that they're operating out of the Joe's T-Shirt Printing Warehouse that was vacant for the last 3yr.
The Chrome people are right. The browser is a user agent.
Many people compare SPAs vs "traditional" MVC with full page reloads or jQuery spaghetti, not realizing nowadays there are great intermediate solutions which don't take as much effort as SPAs by a long shot, such as Unpoly, Hotwire, etc.

It's unfair to compare a highly over engineered React application vs a lazily built jQuery mess.

The bigger issue here is that they would have already provided the source code if the prosecution requested it. Apparently California law requires them to hand over evidence such as this to prosecutors, but bars them from handing it to defense attorneys.

If I create a library I would usually make it to solve my own usecase. And if you mainly work with react-apps, and your plan is to use it in an react app. Why not also make the library in react?

In this case, I guess the developer wanted to use JSX to create it. And you could ofc use JSX without React. But most people are used to using it in react-context, and plan to use it in an react-app anyway.

So to answer your question, in my eyes it would be. Why not? If the devs plan on using it in react-app anyway, it's not their job to make sure it supports everyone elses usecase.
I truly believe we need a system where if you're paying for licensed music on any platform that you're able to play/listen to it anywhere else. Certainly it would take law as a foundation to lead to this functionality.

Why does this matter so much? Our team purposefully decided to use a really well known component library (Material UI React) so that it automatically takes care of browser inconsistencies. But no, I still find myself and my team scratching our heads writing a ton of Safari-specific CSS just to ensure it works on par with Firefox.
I tried

Samsung Smart things -> SQS FIFO -> My Home Server -> Hue Hub

to turn on a light when a motion sensor went on and found the latency with the FIFO was frequently "a few seconds", enough to cause all sorts of embarrassment such as "walk through the hallway, the light doesn't turn on, but it turns on after you walk out."

The regular SQS queue works much better; I turned off the "easing" when the light turns on to hide the perception of end-to-end latency @ 90% and I rarely feel tempted to push a button.

Maybe not but you do still have to be in a pretty niche industry.
Having a more direct pathway to citizenship through university/graduate studies, if properly regulated, could be a tremendous benefit to the country rather than forcing graduates into H1B serfdom. Such a pathway would require careful oversight and restrictions to avoid abuse (like creating fake degree programs), but the benefits to everyone involved could vastly outweigh the costs. Interested in what others would think about this.

If you have the money to pay for the electricity you'll see more profit by just buying the BTC at the current market price. You start making money immediately instead of having to make it to the electricity price you paid. So it still only makes sense as a strategy if you're stealing electricity, have an off grid system with excess electricity (or you don't get paid for back feeding the grid) or have a (really really) weird cashflow situation.

> hopefully someone will also make a cross-platform library to provide accessibility and IME primitives for Windows TSF/macOS/etc.

I'm planning to do this for accessibility. I don't think I have the expertise to cover IME though. Do you think they both need to be done in one library, or can they be decoupled?
After our experience with a moving company: never again. We boxed it all. They grabbed boxes and larger items. They broke so many things. Took tires and seats off bikes that got lost, wrote our last name on some of our items, broke some furniture, and then couldn’t find a driver to get our stuff to our state for several weeks (3? 5? It feels like maybe longer but it was a couple years back). Tried to make a claim against them, but the way the contract was set up is that they could pretty much do as much damage as they could up to the deductible on the insurance and not have a thing to worry about. We thought of the $5k deductible as a guard against total loss (moving truck burns down or falls in a lake), but it was mostly a license for them to damage our stuff ip to $5k and force us to use their internal processes for claims which paid out a pittance compared to the damage.

Not just electrical rate, also what you do with the waste heat. I know at least one person who is heating his garage. Mining bitcoin is cheaper than an electric heater for the same task. A heat pump would probably be more cost effective in the long run, but I didn't tell him that.
The last linux distro I tried was ubuntu 20.04.

There was no GPU acceleration for my nvidia card out of the box. Installing the drivers caused X11/wayland/whateverthefuck to glitch out and I had to do terminal magic to get it to boot.

Using some other variant or version of nvidia drivers caused Chrome to screw up compositing which would result in pure black sections out of the viewport during scrolling.

My front panel microphone inputs weren't working, and multichannel audio playback was garbled.

I couldn't turn on GSYNC on my monitor, and it flickered at 144hz.

Most of my mouse buttons weren't working.

My printer/scanner wasn't working.

I couldn't play any of my games.

Do I have to continue? I'm not interested in Linux apologetics: "That's because you're using nvidia / chrome / realtek." "That's because you're using XY distro, you should be using Arch/whatever". "That's because that game developer sucks, Source engine games work fine". "That's because Logitech..."

I don't care.

There are multiple distributions under different licenses.

If you compile this source (CE) - yes your code must be GPL. Adacore's distribution is the most up to date.

The FSF distribution has the normal gcc exceptions. The FSF distribution is normally what's shipped with linux distros. It tends to be slightly older.

"By the standards of republican politicians" is a low bar and also a relevant topic. Cotton was more careful with his words than a lot of his comrades but he was very tightly allied with people (like Trump himself) who were well known for spouting complete horseshit.

With the availability of free languages such as

You have a solid option that cover ever possible paradigm and style of programming you may fathom

Why would any one invest time or effort in a commercial language such as Ada, Eiffel or even Xojo and LispWorks, that require you to pay for Automated test support and what is considered by most standards now basic libraries

And not only that, the communities are usually tiny and support is probably very limited to the commercial support they provide, and when it comes to languages, languages with big communities, provide infinitely better support than commercial support for proprietary languages or implementations

The cost of AdaCore is not just the compiler license, its the total ecosystem cost
Plenty of examples, mostly boils down to:

- said contractor ships enough code to tick the check-boxes on the contract

- management: * surprised Pikachu meme *

- management: you will need to fix this ASAP and throwing blame around is childish, so don't bother
If it makes you feel any better. I kept that junk too for years (25+) after graduating (3 moves). They sat in a box doing nothing but taking up space in my home. On my last move I took what textbooks I could to the library (they did not want it, they already have 8 copies of that sort of thing). My notebooks I would open each one up and realize I had 0 idea what my notes meant. Like no clue. I could see oh this is a calculus class, but what the notes meant out of context of the class and where in the book it referred to? Nothing. I tossed them. I had forgotten they even existed until I opened the box up and sighed in a sarcastic way 'oh good more books that I never use'. The only ones I kept was some ideas I had for programs that were well fleshed out and documented nicely. Plus some nice books on algorithms and graphics. But most of that you can get on the net. Even now 25 years later? That is pretty much out of context of what I was thinking then. I would probably start completely over, notes and all.

I purged about half of my stuff a few years ago. I still have a huge pile of junk. On my next move more of it is 'going away'. It is in the way and takes up space.
Sure, I'd be happy to share, but this is just an opinion.

Secure an appointment in a genetics clinic at a world-leading institution - think the sorts of hospitals that routinely see the rarest genetic diseases in the world, CHOP, CHLA, Rady in SD, Emory, Children's Boston, Lourie in Chicago (the children's hospital, not the cancer center), Nationwide in Columbus, Hopkins, etc. Ideally you'd be seeing someone who is continually identifying and publishing newly discovered genetic diseases.

Compose a short, concise document detailing developmental milestones as well as symptoms. Include all interventions that you have found to work and not work. Include all prior test and imaging results. This document will be given to the geneticist and genetic counselors you meet with. You can also look into having the medical record transferred over from the primary care facility to the geneticist's office.

Let them handle the rest. They may recommend testing, they may recommend consults with additional specialists, they may feel the issue is not genetic. It is important to keep in mind that one does not need to be far outside of the box to butt up against the limits of medical knowledge. It is possible that this strategy may not help. There are also research programs, such as the undiagnosed disease program at the NIH, that may also be potential avenues to pursue. It is also possible that the issue does not have an identifiable genetic cause, or if there is, the underlying pathology is currently not understood.

Good luck.

I'm not alleging a conspiracy theory. Those are words you are using to construct an ad-hominum by implying my assertion in in bad company. I'm firmly of the belief that the cops are rational humans responding to incentives.

A "raid coming up empty handed" is exactly the failure mode I'm complaining about. The police should be realizing there's no grow-op long before any sort of "raid".

I didn't say they did. I said they will routinely prosecute minor stuff they weren't looking for that they normally wouldn't pursue rather than come up empty handed.

I remember seeing some talk about a company creating ASIC blocks to heat houses but grows afaik don't generally need more heat the lights and everything creates enough heat for the plants.
Worst was being actively aggressive in their tone shooting questions and approach "well you have an engineering degree, we will see about that". Then there were quite some dismissive with sighing when not getting answers they like to hear.

They could keep it to themselves and go back to their colleagues and nag about "what a waste of time, that guy was".

I am also interviewing people from time to time, but I see it as part of my job not some kind of punishment. So maybe don't push technical colleagues, who are not happy about it, to do it.
If the heat is beyond what could be produced by a high-efficiency heat pump and other heat sources, I agree there’s likely PC (and I think I said so, or at least tried to).

People get upset over others having more them they have, but rather than overtly stating they hate those who have more, it sounds far more appealing to say the attack on those who have is really a nice thing they're doing for the poor. But if you look at the actual actions and rhetoric, it's more about hating the rich than concern for the poor.

Businesses that are not consumer facing are often far less diligent about signage and advertising than people think.

You'd think one of the largest (legal) indoor grow-ops in my state is a shipping products manufacturer if you went by the sign on the building. The shipping products manufacturer outgrew the building and is leasing it to the pot business. There's a business near me that manufactures medical plastics. Before them the facility was occupied by a company making pasta. Neither has a sign out front. The only difference is the company name on the white box trucks changed.
