His radar explanation for FLIR doesn't really hold well if you take their stories into account though. There's a limit to how far away it could have been since they're saying they saw it near sea level below where they were. He also doesn't explain why the jet engines of said plane didn't show up as a different color on the IR camera.

Eyewitness testimonies are not very reliable, no, but unless they're lying, there was definitely something unexplained going on there. It's possible there's an explanation which covers all of it, but Mick West's doesn't.

Not to mention that he's a game developer and not an aerospace engineer. I really doubt he has any experience using the systems that he's explaining. I would love to see that video "peer-reviewed" by someone who has the credentials to talk about those things.
Thanks for the info; I've been concerned enough about Windows 10 telemetry (etc.) to avoid it, and when I saw this script I thought "ohhh maybe I can just do this?"--so you saved me.

Do you have a rec or a resource? I haven't looked seriously at this so if it's just like "google it" mea culpa, but it seems like there's a lot of misinformation and what not out there. I saw "O&O ShutUp10" in a sibling thread?
Who cares? Time to go to tick tack.
My company is going to a 2 days at work and 3 days home setup. But they won't pay for anything except the computer -- if I want a monitor or a docking station I'm on the hook for that, they won't provide it. I recently shelled out for a $500 chair, and I know two colleagues who paid $2-300 for docking stations (I think I'd be happy with a cheaper one, personally).

I think they'll pay for a monitor if you're full-time WFH but that requires special permission.
Apartment owners will do what it takes to get renters. Most apartments have Cable TV wired in even those built before cable TV. If landlords discover that potential renters are refusing their apartments because they can't charge their cars they will install charges to attract those people. Of course this is an economic decision - they will consider if the additional rent they can charge is worth it (or in some cases if the high class people they can attract for the same rent are worth it)
> My hypothesis is that Americans cashed in on their increased productivity by socializing at work or browsing the internet at work.

Many people, yes. But the beneficiaries of an increase of minimum and hourly wages, which would affect like 60+ million US workers - they show up and they just work all day, they're not socializing, they didn't cash in anything.

What you're saying may be factual to some degree, but it almost universally talked about in bad faith.
Looks great, reminds me of Yahoo Pipes. Any chance of a launch discount for HN readers? ;)
This too. What you're suggesting requires completely changing our way of life from how we gather food to how we design housing and communities.

I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just going to be nearly impossible to convince people when lunking masses of steal around for no good reason is such a large part of their life.
Themes have control over how it looks. You can search, test, and install one directly within Firefox.
Seems to be video-dependent, tried the one you posted, and it seems to fail, but another one "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY4Gz_Axpew" worked with yt-dlp but not youtube-dl.
Guess it's the beginning of the end of watching youtube for me soon.

EDIT: From an EU ip.
The problem starts with the doctors. Regardless of who paying, if your doctor says "here's a thing, use it" you assume (because they are a knowledgeable specialist) that it's the "right thing". Most people don't/won't know if they've actually been prescribed the best option.

Not too long ago I went through this adventure and my experience with the ENT was terrible. Fortunately I was in a position where I could do an end run around the system and get something better, both machine and mask.

I still had a not-great experience, even with better gear. The adjustment period just never went away. Maybe a better doctor would have solved it, but I'm sure that for some people, the CPAP's just aren't a great experience at the best of times. Options are always good.

The biggest up-side to this mouth guard option is that it can be available to a lot more people for a lot lower cost.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

I guess it's unsurprising that UX designers would want to continue having work to do.
On the subject of masks. If it didn’t stick after the Spanish flu, what makes you think it is different this time?
This is a great tool, but remember to re-run it periodically (especially after updates) as Windows 10 will "helpfully" re-enable stuff you have disabled.
That really depends on how you define Spin(3), for example some would define it as the compact simply-connected Lie group of a certain type, at which point the unit quaternions model of Spin(3) is as good as any other.
Digging into Quebec's electronic proof of vaccination
Yeah I don't have a printer at home, last time I had to do something like that, I wrote the required stuff on a paper, took a picture with my phone, used PAINT.NET to put it on their document at the right place and messed the colors/contrast a bit to look scanned.
> The criticism should instead be directed towards Microsoft,

Totally agree that MS deserves criticism as you correctly point out. However, criticism towards the script and similar is equally valid (and important).
I can ask the same about knowing and pronouncing numbers.

regardless, this is an article about a UK company's product being used by UK emergency services. An injured foreigner who can't speak English is going to have trouble with numbers too (granted, you may learn numbers first). You don't just make a call to emergency services and start spewing out numbers with no other vocabulary.

I can see your point on an international scale, and agree with you that this product is not globally scalable. Language barriers are language barriers until we all have the fictional babel fish.

edit: besides, you can always provide phonetic 'translations' if you want in to a foreigner's language/script if you must - not my preferred solution either though.
It's true, my SO had to switch from a mouth guard to a CPAP machine because the guard was changing their bite "pattern" to worse.
I used to commute 1 hour one way pre Covid, so 10 hours per week. If I go into the office for only 2 days a week I could live twice as far from my workplace and still only commute 8 hours a week. I was meaning to say that even with 2 days in-Office per week it opens up possibilities regarding housing.

I was spending 1,5 hours per day in a train, and walking to the station for 10 minutes or so, yes.
The question is what we replace it with. One of the reasons we bailed everyone out in 2008 was because no one could convincingly sell a model other than keeping on the same as before...
I did something similar. It was that day I tried to make sure I use some alias when posting. What is benign one day will be heretical tomorrow and vice versa.
While the technology you are developing may allow that proof of COVID status, as the OP mentions, it is questionable if it will actually be used broadly in many countries. When countries have already reopened their hospitality sectors to all regardless of status, then they may be loathe to begin requiring COVID proof. Nor do hospitality staff necessarily want to given the duty of checking statuses.

So if COVID status proof is required country-internally over the coming months, in many countries it will probably be used for mass events (e.g. the UNTOLD festival in Romania) but otherwise not.
Just from YouTube it looks like because YouTube-dl works on pornhub and other XXX sites too.
I've found YouTube increasingly unusable in general over the last few months. It seems to be pushing absolute rubbish at me. There's a gap in the market for a music-only video service.
It depends on what your needs/interests are.

For example I've worked in medical devices, I had to watch a lot of different types of surgical procedures for a specific application.

A lot of surgical content gets tagged as 'adult' even though it has nothing inappropriate as such.
LNG powered cars have been available for a long time. They never caught on (speaking from a Swiss perspective). Whatever the reasons may be: Less dynamic driving experience, not enough LNG gas stations, expensive to retrofit, no cool new cars, no that much cheaper compared to gasoline - the consumer apparently just doesn't want them.
On a Mac ?
YouTube had to crack down on all kinds of videos because of some laws that congress passed under the pretense of "protecting children". For many content creators it's easier to mark your video as age-restricted than to try and comply with child-friendly guidelines. This is also why so many videos now disable the comments section.
“I want everyone to be super excited about wildlife crossings, but I don’t want people to forget that a wildlife crossing is like a Band-Aid,” said Trisha White, an environmentalist who was integral in moving wildlife crossings from the fringes to the mainstream in the United States. The structures, she emphasized, can only fix a small part of the road’s damage to wildlife habitat.

“The road,” she said, “is like a wound.”
I mean, that wasn’t stated, but when the bar leads with the line “Circuit music returns…”, it’s implied.

The impacts mentioned by OP aren't predicated on companies hiring globally. Simply expanding hiring across the US (or even just your US timezone) will result in a significant drop in salary for your average role.

Employers aren't going to drop salaries in the midst of a pandemic, but if remote work persists, salaries will drop substantially. It's simple supply and demand, and I'm sure there's data out there (for existing remote positions) that corroborates this.
No, but Opportunity is lost, it survived for 15 years though, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_(rover)
I've seen disk images of windows on piracy sites that have all this stuff preconfigured

you can get slim builds with chrome ready to go already, builds with all these cleanup scripts configured, and more

sadly, they also know people in a rush are looking for this or prefer it, and they install backdoors or ways to steal your crypto on them and stuff

I wouldn't even trust the scripts itself at this point, so I'm another for just don't run this stuff
Looks like they are trying to reduce the friction to subscribe to Youtube Premium
There's no way that I'd be caught dead paying $30 for this when there are tons of platforms online that do this for free. What is the value proposition here?
Same situation here.

This, the 2/3 ads being forced down me which are of no interest at all and the constant upselling of YouTube music and the recent shoot down of ad blockers on the desktop browser front really makes it a hostile place to be a consumer of media. I have experimentally uninstalled the YT app off my phone and not used the web site and I haven’t missed it a bit.
With the disconnect from the page, they’re not really “tabs” anymore at all, and haven’t been on mobile for a while. The tab bar is now a dock/task bar/window manager.
Anti-social argument ad USSR is usually considered to be a fallacy common in the USA.

For example, Swiss are very social people. Up until recently they did not even have a minimal wage defined in some of the cantons, yet even the worst jobs are usually extremely well payed. I.e. a python developer has just like 2x more than a garbage man. Anything a human touches is expensive.

In European countries, even some of the Eastern ones, there is usually a top-notch single payer health care system. That's social.

You can also have a high quality state funded education systems. A social aspect of politics does not require you to go all dictatorial suppressing basic rights. Please stop using it. It's ridiculous.
I just think it's ironic to point out they "stopped" making thin stuff in the comments of a post about a new and notably thin desktop. To avoid comparisons with a very old desktop then, I can't think of a thinner desktop on the market.
Still no fix for the massive energy waste on Mac? Oof.

Stream a call through Firefox vs Safari and it uses literally 40x the energy. And turns your MBP into a toaster.

Been over a year, we all live on streaming calls, shame they haven't addressed this.
>It could easily circumvent this by pretending to embed the video.

It doesn't work.

It depends. Most have garages without assigned spaces. Some are street parking. Where possible they just have surface lots because it is cheaper. None of these are wired.
Wow, I'm on a macbook and Smart zoom works. Double-tap with two fingers to zoom. Christmas came early this year!
The problem is that again you are attacking an argument I did not make. At no point have I suggested "maybe we should shut that down and give the money to them" or that we could feed the entire population of the world using Bezos' clock budget, never mind enthused about US arts funding. At no point in this thread have I made any public policy recommendations at all.

I simply observed that it seems unreasonable to argue that a person saved from starvation by a marginal dollar doesn't feel more benefit from that marginal dollar than someone who wouldn't stoop to pick one off the street feels from marginal dollars that accrue to their bank accounts anyway. So some, but not all, redistribution can be positive sum.

Acknowledging the marginal utility of a [disposable] dollar to Bezos might be lower than that of someone earning less than subsistence seems both fairly obvious and not at all close to communism as the user I originally responded to suggests (Funnily enough, denying the validity of any sort of interpersonal utility comparison whatsoever actually does makes it impossible to make inefficiency arguments against communism or any other sort of government waste. Obviously millions of people behind the former Iron Curtain are wealthier today, but who's to say the Politburo members losing control over resources didn't suffer more?! I mean, that's silly, but so's arguing Bezos cares about loose change at least as much as the average poor person). Arguments against the idea that public might need education less than the wealthy needed to keep those dollars were pretty critical to there being a viable market and workforce for the Amazons of this world too.

If we actually want to discuss the efficiency and inefficiency of different forms of government and private [non]intervention it's much easier to do so without the unsupported and vaguely feudal assumption that no improvement on a status quo can be observed.
Researchers claim they have sequenced the entirety of the human genome
I think it's a creature-comfort for webdevs who don't like getting their hands dirty.
> “For the last year,” a friend recently wrote to me, “a lot of us have been enjoying unaccustomed courtesy and understanding from the world.” When people asked how you were doing, no one expected you to say “Fine.” Instead, they asked, “How are you holding up?” and you’d answer, “Well, you know.” (That “you know” encompassed a lot that was left unspoken: deteriorating mental health, physical atrophy, creeping alcoholism, unraveling marriages, touch starvation, suicidal ideation, collapse-of-democracy anxiety, Hadean boredom and loneliness, solitary rages and despair.) You could admit that you’d accomplished nothing today, this week, all year. Having gotten through another day was a perfectly respectable achievement. I considered it a pass-fail year, and anything you had to do to get through it—indulging inappropriate crushes, strictly temporary addictions, really bad TV—was an acceptable cost of psychological survival. Being “unable to deal” was a legitimate excuse for failing to answer emails, missing deadlines, or declining invitations. Everyone recognized that the situation was simply too much to be borne without occasionally going to pieces. This has, in fact, always been the case; we were just finally allowed to admit it.

A bit harsh but to me this is one long keening whine.

This is the new elite in a nutshell: extremely privileged but obsessed with their own psychological frailty which they flaunt like it's something to be proud of.
I update and the Mac's native sharing is gone.
Wondering if the company employs product managers responsible for Mac features (i know it's complex to handle various capabilities for different OS versions) because i assume a storm of negative feedback is coming.
Yes, that’s right. I sync any directory which has files moved into it.

That's the key for me. I think every remote company should pay for co-working space for their employees if they choose to. Also, it's important that co-working spaces design it to be more like a quiet office with stations with big screens etc. Not like the old co-working concept where it's like a cafe, cramping multiple people together.

I recall once interviewing at a startup. Their office was in a co-working space. When I arrived in the morning I knew after 5 minutes that I'm not going to work there. The entire team of 4 people, including the CTO who was supposed to be my manager, were sitting together in a tiny room with zero privacy.
While this "enumerate all the costs and benefits" calculus is really appealing, the "how much is the land (de)appreciating?" factor dominates everything. This is why most people can buy homes without much serious thought and still come out very happy and ahead, because the land appreciation (or depreciation) sort of bakes in all your complex considerations for you.
>> Pynguin can cause serious harm to your computer, for example, wipe your entire hard disk! We recommend running Pynguin in an isolated environment, for example, a Docker container, to minimise the risk of damaging your system.

That sounds ominous.

Why do they execute the generated tests though? I mean I'd expect this to go only as far as generating the tests. Also that means that at least someone needs to review the tests.
Also, depending on the type of commute, I need to factor in the exhaustion that comes with using public transportation like Bart. So for me it was an hour each way plus a substantial time to decompress from standing in a packed sweaty train. In the evening it usually meant that I was just too tired to do anything else after work.
The people in poorer countries aren't driving 2021 BMWs either.

It takes a while for new cars to become old cars in order to be cheap enough.
Also, a lot of people may not just need a CPAP machine but a more advanced bipap machine that also pulls instead of just pushes.
Ten Kilograms of Chocolate (2020)
I took a (quasi) sabbatical recently. I worked 1.5 days a week for one year. I dialed down my expenses so it was enough to pay the bills. It gave me the opportunity to work on some hobby projects, spend more time with my family and just enjoy life. It was fantastic. Now I am planning to repeat this every 5 years at least. I only wish my overworked friends did the same so I could spend more time with them as well.
Also an user of Sideberry, from my experience it just works a little bit better than TST.
Petrol service stations are already a marginal business and closing in droves. There will be a tipping point where they will no longer be economically viable on interstate highways and it will be ICE car drivers who will experience range anxiety.
"assuming that you have provided YouTube with a scan of your ID card"

I expect that at some point you'll have to prove your identity to use youtube at all, because its in Google's interest to know as much as possible about its users.

Youtube will also probably turn in to a pay-to-view service at some point. They already dominate the video space, and their network effects are enormous, and a huge number of people will pay to continue to get access to that.
It is insane to me that a 2432 line script is required to achieve this.
No, the CSAC is a Rubidium standard. It measures the ~6.8 GHz ground-state hyperfine splitting in 87Rb using coherent population trapping with a modulated 780 nm diode laser. This signal is used to lock the local oscillator to the atomic transition frequency. And all that in a tiny package with 120 mW power consumption. Pretty cool stuff!

Edit: At second glance, it seems liks they are actually using Cesium now (some other demonstrators use Rubidium). The principle is the same, but the hyperfine splitting is 9.192631770 GHz (by definition) and the laser wavelength is 894 nm.
I think evaluating this as purely financial decision is an error.

The power, control and ability to monitor workers to ensure “productivity” is part of the decision making matrix.
According to google ID cards are deleted after age has been proven, but for some reason they might keep credit card information.

>Important: If you enter your credit card info for age verification, Google will retain this data as necessary to meet legal and regulatory requirements.

Must be because of audit laws relating to processing credit cards.

If you have a sailboat you are using it more than once a year.

The 1000 mile trip is something you do often anyway for shorter trips. You take the sailboat to the cabin most weekends and the special 1000 mile trip once a year. Or you take the family to grandma's monthly, and the family on a 1000 mile yearly vacation.
Did you really just use the word "only" in relation to 17 million people? Are issues 17 million persons somehow beneath your notice just because they're a smaller part of some arbitrary selected whole?
The difference is that we (both as people and countries) have more tools to deal with governments/european countries that spy on us, but we can't vote american governments out of office. The EU can apply pressure to denmark to stop collaborating with the NSA, but can't realistically pressure the US.
Alternatively, you could put the CPU core on top of RAM, closest to the heat sink.

You also don't want to run your CPU at 80°C, else the RAM will produce much more errors. (ECC is a must anyway, I suppose.)
If you're really working totally independently, then you're running a 1-person company. As soon as you get two "seniors" on the same project, if they're working independently, then you're just going to two different, unrelated outputs, by your definition.
I had a 2h round trip daily commute from downtown Sunnyvale (about 10 minutes walk to Caltrain) to downtown SF (2nd and Folsom). It was pretty normal.

Basically an hour each way, of which 20m fast walking, if you timed it right. Hit a slow train, try for the 10 bus and miss, get rained on, train late, miss the train, train runs over someone — sometimes it took longer.

I moved up to the city and had about 40 minutes each way by bus, and if you haven’t tried it let me tell you: an hour on Caltrain is much nicer, not to mention safer, than half an hour on a MUNI bus.

On Caltrain I could at least read the news, on the bus it was pretty much watch your back.

I haven’t commuted at all in the last 12 years but I accept that if I ever work onsite in the USA again I probably will need to, and the trick is to try and find a form of commute that isn’t a complete waste of time.
