I’m going to draw from the article and from my personal experience (somewhat related viewpoint of computers in small companies’ chemistry labs) and point out the leading cause of this obsolete technology persisting: cost (or rather, price).

Mainly we’re dealing with deliberate decisions not to upgrade exclusively based on price. This is quite disturbing (as an economist). It’s probable that by keeping the prices high on software the companies reap benefits from those clients that are willing to pay (presumably for updated specifications and algorithms but mainly for compatibility with newer systems), they’re also relegating users by not providing a more convenient and reasonably priced upgrade path that covers merely the compatibility aspect.
I think you missed the perfectly valid critique, that sennheiser sub bass roll off very quickly. An eq filter won't fix this without distorting sound.
This will work well until general artificial intelligence is invented and human labor is abolished.

Then we will be at the mercy of AI or the authoritarian state.

This seems a bit like a Faustian bargain.
More likely they'll just dig through people's history as needed to get them to bend over and take whatever way the university is mistreating them that minute.

I have a friend who is moderating a pride-relevant subreddit this month. They plan to postpone most of their social engagements in anticipation of the drama so they can keep the discussion reasonable. Imagine how it must get that they need to commit so much time

As far as I can tell those words only appear in the title of the article so I'm not entirely sure if that's the case.

My father has had a pair of B&W 7xx loudspeakers for almost 30 years now.

Once you get something like that there's no reason to ever look at anything else again unless you've got issues.

I've spent a ton of time listening to them. They're really amazing.

Funny thing is he spent so much money he never could figure out what to do about home theater when that became a fad. Now Home theater is pretty much gone but his setup is still fantastic for music.

Traiggy is a simple (PWA) Progressive Web app that will help the plantation of trees around the world using blockchain technology.
It has 2 advantages:
- helping reforestation organization to audit and to gain insight and transparency on how their funds are getting spend
- allow local citizen to plant tree and get rewarded for doing it
The title is mostly red-meat for the "anti-SJW" base of HN. Off-campus actions have ALWAYS been of interest to universities whenever it affected the image of the university.
Pseudonyms are ridiculously hard for normal people to keep up and protect sufficiently, even against normal (aka not State) level actors.

The more you write, the more data there is. With enough patterns and idioms - everything from word choice to punctuation to posting times - they can be used to correlate and potentially identify a user.

And realistically, since this isn't a court of law (where there are previously concrete rules in play), they don't need "beyond a reasonable doubt" or even "preponderance of the evidence" but something as simple as "don't these things look the same!?" to fire up a mob to start a campaign to get someone fired or suspended.

At that point, the target has to hope they can either a) prove it's not them or b) the leadership has integrity to hold them to reasonable standards. It's ugly.
Can you elaborate without giving away too much?

What did they ask about?
The politicians do what corporations and voters want or they get replaced by politicians who will.

Corporations want profit. People want jobs and products.

Why would a name I chose for myself be worth any less than a name someone else picked?
But there's a difference between turning down a bid because you want to maintain control over your vision and because you think your company is just worth more than the offer. The point is just that if you get what you think is a fair offer, and it's a very large offer, it would be hard for most people to say no.
It's against the ToS for Facebook and LinkedIn, it's perfectly fine on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Youtube, Tiktok, Tumblr, Reddit, Pinterest, etc. Definitely not most platforms, just the few that place weight on real identity.
Let me be clear: I am not claiming what others experience is not real. Simply saying that it's far enough from what I've experienced in my corner of the world, that I find it surprising.
They're not saying teenage binge drinking is never problematic – they actually used the words "risks of hurting ourselves is probably higher than the reward".

The point is that youths do risky things; it's a normal part of growing up, and is how you learn about risk and responsibility. Youth binge drinking shouldn't be seen as separate from youths just doing risky things because that's what youths do, else you'll come up with "solutions" that don't address the real issue and fail to solve anything at all.

It's fair enough to say that someone who parties a lot in their early twenties, but doesn't hurt anyone else or themselves too seriously, then grows out of it and lives an upstanding life is not a major problem, whereas someone who continues to drink excessively and destructively when they're older and needing to be responsible is a problem.

And sure, they're somewhat related, but not so much so that they should be considered one and the same, when the underlying causes are usually very different.

I don't understand how that comment fits Comac development. See their current aircraft:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comac#Aircraft_in_production_o...

Their 2 planes in production use GE/CFM engines and the 1 in design is expected to use Rolls-Royce or GE.

Interview with an NFT Platform Founder
Well this is what we all wanted right?
The trouble is if you need VPC peering then it requires a dedicated VPC, dedicated k8s, dedicated instances. Confluent currently only offers one instance size, so that dedicated offering can't be scaled down.

PrivateLink allows for shared VPC and hypothetically a shared k8s. So the cost structure can be better on the Confluent side. Of course scaling down instance types would make a huge difference, but I don't think that's supported currently. The cheaper option is multi-tenant Kafka clusters.

In general, I think VPC peering is a dead end for use cases where you are connecting two companies networks together. It's not great operationally and puts a lot of security / filtering burden on each party.

PrivateLink is a much better option.
Exemplary modern dialogue shut-down tactic. Don't question me, don't debate me, don't ask me questions, don't think. If you don't do exactly what I say is good, you're problematic. If you're not as extreme as me, you're as bad as the enemy. Things like this have made me lose faith in modern civilization; we're watching the beginning of a catastrophic downfall.
No. Ut I’d tell a designer that’s a stupid design and we can get pretty close to it if they really wanted it but overflows will make it look ugly depending on where they want this magic unlimited tab box.
The context of the parent comment is what investors think. Investors — especially VCs — like acquisitions; they get them paid out at the 10x they were looking for, within their fund's time-horizon.
I kind of like how protocol improvements have made the domain an authority, almost like a frontend security boundary.
FWIW, I disagree with this in principle.

I think institutions of higher ed should serve humanity; knowledge is beneficial to all people for the sake of knowledge itself.

I am saddened that many take their intellect and direct their energy solely towards making as much money as possible.

Think of all we could do if our best and brightest weren't so damn distracted with status and money
The article says that their share of the single-aisle plane market has fallen from 50% to 35%, and could fall farther still (with Airbus continuing to eat their lunch) as the A321neo continues cannibalizing Boeing's market share.

So clearly Boeing cannot safely sit back and do nothing. They risk ceding this single-aisle duopoly to Airbus entirely, turning it into a monopoly.
Yes, that would be another example.
Bulb appears to treat lists as cons chains, which is a fairly normal approach in Scheme implementations. Beyond that, it looks like a minimal Scheme without macros or quoting. I bet it doesn't have tail call optimization, either.
I don't even see how this could scale to a whole University's worth of students.

The current population of U of Oregon is 23,600. If you have say, 10 administrators dedicated to monitoring social media, that means each have to sift through ~2000 students posts each and every day. Yes, some students don't have any social media, but a lot of them are on multiple social networks.
I'm a Carleton grad myself. Really interested in hearing what happened, if you can disclose.
There are cryptographic primitives that can be instantiated via a multiparty key signing ceremony when the satellites are commissioned and then the keys thrown away. After that, you'd have to grab a satellite and disassemble it in a clean room and use some kind of nanometer-scale logic probe to extract secret key information to Sybil attack anything.
At this point I feel like we have 2 political parties trying to create different dystopian nightmares and there’s no non-dystopian option.

Yeah the lag is tough but going without or being late on payments is part of life when you’re on minimum wage. It sucks, I’ve been there. It’s probably a lot worse if you have a family or live far out of town but that doesn’t mean people don’t quit shitty jobs. I’m not saying people don’t stay in shitty jobs either, they do, it just all depends on the person and the situation but most people I’ve known have walked out of jobs that were unbearable at one point or another.
Maybe Harvard could get away with this but the fact remains that there is no Oregon university, let alone UO, requiring more than a 3.25 GPA to get in and that’s already being extremely generous.

UO simply isn’t prestigious enough to pull this kind of stunt.
I've always understood that airframe/airliner construction is quite orthogonal to engine choice. (I am very far from knowledgable on the subject!) A given airframe will, afaik, be available with choices of different engines from different manufacturers at the customer's choice.

My US city allows you to consume alcohol in public in a big section of the city center. So people stand around in line for BBQ drinking beer they've got in a cooler. Of course it's also completely legal for women to be topless in public in this city so it's not the American norm by any means.
That looks much more complicated than scp a yaml file and run a single command. Which is all you need for a lot of real production apps.
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate that. I'm sure that the branding will evolve over time - I made a conscious choice to spend less than an hour on the logo once we picked the name itself. I find that many startups will waste time on this, when it's so easy to redo it after you find traction later (see Apple, Facebook, Twitter and others).

By the way, our working alpha name until we chose BurnerPage was KingsLanding.Page. This was never intended to be commercialized for obvious legal and branding problem reasons, but sure was a fun pop culture shoutout. :)

I live near Paris and there are many ramps to put a boat in the Seine. It would be absolutely extraordinary to cross Paris on the river and then come back home and park in the street. (Also, freshwater.)
If you're buying a jet obviously the more fuel-efficient one has an advantage, assuming everything else is the same.

The killer for airlines is that the older ones often have a lot of capital tied up in the planes and they basically have to keep them flying, whereas a new airline can get the latest and the greatest for effectively the same capital expenditure.

Fuel prices changing rapidly could affect the equation.
>>for the former it would have been a serious offense

Looking at ART would be a serious offence at a high school???? Are the history/art books you use at that school also censored?

I mean, sure, someone might react to it if they only saw the painting briefly flash on the screen, but surely any sort of misundersstanding could be explaineed in a grand total of 10 seconds of conversation.
I've noticed that online influence campaigns are starting to really kick into gear. Any comments in news articles posted to the r/worldnews subreddit about the Uyghurs in Xinjiang that do not defend the status quo there will be downvoted to -15 or more, and if you take note of commenters, it soon becomes clear that there's a lot of brigading. Many of the comments conflate criticism of the situation with racism or a desire to start a war.

First of all I appreciate the time you've taken to answer my question but I still have to disagree with you that bailing out the air transportation industry doesn't have long lasting effect on our Co to emissions and it is not compatible with a sustainable development. The bailouts are used in the same way as in the agricultural sector. They're used to protect domestic capabilities the environment be damned.
Your take is wrong.

Having a domain is identical to having a driver's license: This org says I am "X".

It is fundamentally different from uniquely identifying me.

I am still the same person if I give you my library card - a different ID from a different org that says I am "Y".

yeah... in india this is the same feeling. you are not supposed to diminish or try to suggest ideas that would incite feelings of diminishing the authority of an institution, usually courts or ruling party or some professional institutions... The "image" of an institution is worth more than the life of an individual. Again, if i write a tweet critical of some public figure, i have somehow brought the wrath of an entire country because of this and this automatically vanishes my rights, usually now a days my right to live.
Integrating Drones into the Transport System [pdf]
I've read both the policy and the proposed changes to the Student Conduct Code and they aren't lining up for me.

I'm also left wondering what I've missed. It seems there's no language calling for active monitoring, passive monitoring or surveillance. It also seems that off-campus behaviors were previously considered to be within the scope of the Student Conduct Code and the language has been cleaned up. The new Conduct Code actually seems like it (very slightly) narrows what the University considers applicable off-campus behavior in that it introduces a new burden on the University of being able to "demonstrate a clear and distinct interest as an academic institution".

I'm not really familiar with this document, so I'm hoping someone can help me understand how the proposed changes line up with the headline of the linked post
In Europe, the EPC QR Code is taking off. Most bank apps support them, and they are making their way onto payment requests, both in paper and digitally.
You then open your banking app and scan it manually. It's not exactly a link.

Details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPC_QR_code

Would be nice for something more generic to take off, though.
I wish some day showing off purchases, vacations, parties, achievements, and any happy moments, will be classified as "producing emotional harm" and "creating hostile environment". And I think it is possible, because statistically some groups have more of those to show off than others, and group disparity indicates systematic discrimination.
Any reason you can't just use a PCIe RS-232 card? e.g. https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/serial-boards/8988545/
The author goes far beyond just assuming power law distributions.

> We don't yet know the breadth of planet sizes on which intelligent life exists. Some will be larger than others. The larger planets have a greater area, and receive more energy from their star. Therefore they are capable of sustaining larger populations, on average.

It is a major leap to go from planets with larger surfaces sustain larger populations. For starters, increased planet size will increase gravity, which means everything needs to expend more energy and either animals or their food getting larger becomes more difficult. Then what effects will this larger planet have on plate tectonics and continent formation. Further, life does not spread out uniformly over a planet's surface, compare the land area of vietnam to siberia and ask where you would expect to find larger populations.

> A similar connection between area and population is seen among countries on Earth. Those with a larger population also tend to have a larger area.

Compare Canada to Bangladesh. The sizes of nations are an incredibly complex function of conquests and mergers where tiny feudal states tended to get gobbled up by larger polities who in turn became stronger and able to acquire more territory, which was critical to pre-industrial societies where population density was constrained by area and then break apart into smaller polities during industrial times when population densities were not so constrained. Planets have no analogous function - Earth doesn't get the moon's land area because it is more populous, nor does it break into tinier planets as humans gain technology. If instead of countries we looked at continents, we'd see 5 out of 7 do not match the prediction.

On the topic of individual size, the author assumes that if a human is a normal member of a group with the variation in size of the great apes, the average size should be 320kg. Obviously though if you applied the exact same logic to the great apes, you'd be way off. Indeed looking at earth, most species tend to be small. The simple assumption that just because something results in a smaller population size means it should lead to more populations is clearly incorrect in this case, and likewise is questionable in other cases where there isn't a clear causal link.

More generally, the author's logic is a permutation of the doomsday argument, which while being mathematically intriguing is widely critiqued as a method of making predictions about reality.
> women less determined than her will just return to becoming the defacto childcare for the family.

Don't discount those women who stay home to take care of baby. I know many women that, after having a baby, realize that they're in a situation that allows them to hang up the rat race and settle into a more simple life of raising a child.

How many YT channels and IG influencers flout their "simple" life and people flock to them? Now imagine you suddenly not only have the means, but a really good excuse to simplify and focus on things that you've come to realize in the last year matter more to you than work. That's where many women (and men) find themselves these days, especially after having many previous leisure activities unavailable. Some have come to realize they really didn't find actual joy from those things, so they cut them out.

And it's why the "return to work" stats for women will continue to be lower than expectations for a good while yet.
I don't think silica gel has the absorption capacity for this amount of water and the bag would be difficult to seal if you have cables for docking.

We clearly need to invent an over engineered system for condensation free freezing of an entire docked laptop, for science.
I think the point is that eventually you have to buy a new one regardless, so regulations ensure that whenever that time comes, whatever you buy (if it's new anyway) hits some baseline of efficiency.

This sort of thing is the logic behind CAFE [1] for automotive, anyway— it forces all the manufacturers to hit a certain baseline efficiency rather than relying on them to all just be slightly less bad than the other guy (or to ignore efficiency altogether and make up the difference in performance/features/marketing).

In addition to the OS handling, browsers will happily let Gmail or other websites handle mailto links. I believe they are normally registered with registerProtocolHandler[1] which is how, for example, Fastmail has a "Open mailto links from other sites in Fastmail" button in the advanced settings.

Notably, payto does not seem to be on the allowlist for registerProtocolHandler.

Can anyone recommend an Android/iOS app that does the same thing?
Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I have had my fair share of drunken/high video game time :)

FWIW this is a side project I _want_ to work on, I'm not trying to make money on it, purely a passion project. So I'm not feeling pressured to work on it, I'm just trying to keep the momentum going and I found that drinking will stop that momentum.

I go through waves of video games -> projects -> reading, it's always fluctuating.
> I'm all for reducing my reliance on American big tech.

As a European completely agree - but not to instead have reliance on Chinese big tech! But I guess anyone who buys Huawei doesn't care where their data goes.
