Might be hard to find, there’s not that many global brands out there where you can advertise once and hit the world. Unhealthy food and beverage make up a lot of the sector.

Even Google or Apple don’t hit the China market well.

Even multinational car manufacturers sub-brand way too much.
How do you mean? Outside most major cities, ISPs tend to monopolize the playing field and there is great demand for cheaper or more personalized service. Having good customer relations would be a major differentiator, and it's not that hard.

Unless you meant obliteration by lobbying, lawsuits or something similar. There's little hope if your competition goes that route.
Is that a bad thing? Think about it from a perspective of legitimate resistance against the government. Not only are you training your citizens and preparing them for the fact that this occurs, but you're giving the citizens the cultural understanding that they can effectively respond when it happens. Internet goes out? Let me hop to our archaic method of message communication we've already devised with neighbors and other "group members" that we have no problems with.

For the first world yes I get it this is unacceptable. For the third world in a war torn country? It's almost necessary.
It is absolutely untrue that the more speakers you throw at Atmos the better, because most rooms are not acoustically treated. As you add more speakers you get more and more complex reflections and room resonances, which conspire to make any attempt at spatialisation - including basic stereo - a hot mess.

Sound travels at around 1ft/ms, so unless your renderer knows where the speakers are in the room and also where your ears are in the room, it's going to be making some very wrong assumptions in its models.

Atmos cinemas actually do this with precise measurements of speaker placing. Even then, you get wildly different experiences depending on where you're sitting.

Atmos mix studios also do it, because they have to.

Home cinemas and home studios - not so much.

If you're among the 1% of people with a high end home cinema room with acoustic treatment, you'll get a passable imitation of the full effect. Everyone else will get some vague sense of some sounds being behind them, and others not.

Headphones are better because the HRTF/binaural effect has no external acoustic space to play into, which makes it far more consistent and predictable. Measured customised HRTFs would be better still.

But that isn't what will kill this. The bigger problem is that good music mix engineers are expensive, and most have no experience with spatial mixing. So far it's been a thing for ad/movie market, and there's less crossover between those markets than most people realise.

If you're producing a stereo mix and a spatial mix your mix budget is going to be between 100% and 500% higher than for stereo alone.

Then you somehow have to do spatial mastering on top of that.

"But I have a DAW" won't do it. Yes, you probably do. But no, you don't have the 7.1.4 (!) speaker configuration needed to mix Atmos properly.

And even if you do, you probably can't mix like a pro. Not even close.

The enhanced budget might be feasible if spatialisation was so much better that it boosted sales to an equivalent extent. But it isn't. It's a nice extra effect - which won't pay its own way, except for special projects with prestige budgets.

And in movies/ads, which are a different market.
If you want to try something kinda unusual, here's what I'm doing. I have a sit stand desk, and I have two different chairs. A saddle seat and a drafting chair. The saddle seat is very good for posture because it opens the hips up and increases the angle from your legs to torso, which makes sitting upright much more comfortable. However, I can't sit in it for more than a couple hours (maybe I'll adjust over time), so I switch between either standing or sitting in the drafting chair. The drafting chair is great because it goes super high so you have a lot of different posture options with an adjustable height desk. I think any solution that involves being in the same posture for too long is flawed, so variety is a good idea to keep your body happy.

I think I spent about $250 on the saddle seat, and $150 on the drafting chair, so it's a pretty cheap solution that offers a lot of flexibility. I made the desk from a full sheet of plywood cut in half, finished smooth, and glued together to make it thicker and some electric legs I bought for $250. All in about about $700 for the desk and two chairs.
I've seen now multiple mail in letters that ask "Have you found employment related to your degree", or a question similiar to it. If you have a compsci degree and end up working an IT phone support job that is counted as "related". Which completely skews the results. Or, better yet, some ask "are you gainfully employed?".

There's good programs out there, but they are in the minority. If you run a good program, that's great. In my experience most places offering compsci are there to take the federal loan money and hand you a piece of paper.
I've worked closely with two of the clouds (GCP and AWS) and the one thing you need to appreciate is that with GCP, moreso than AWS, if you want to go from training wheels to basic car, you need to make contact with a human and establish a relationship, ideally by phone or video chat. This is doubly true if you're in EU where GCP has traditionally had a hard time billing small customers due to VAT issues.

I'm not defending GCP here (personally I think this is another sign Google doesn't actually take cloud seriously as a business as Microsoft or Amazon do) but, the reality is that many of these things unfortunately do require high-touch human interfacing to get started and to expand. I'm more a "take my credit card and shut up" person...
It doesn't seem like there is any meaningful distinction gained from this term.

Yes, successful formation of a habit often occurs when you start small. That isn't anything new. Read anything about how to start a habit, and you'll almost certainly find this recommendation.

Author talks about reading books, starting with just one page a night. Well, presumably the goal is to read more than one page a night, at what point does this stop being a micro-habit and start being a normal habit? Maybe that's hard to answer because they mean the exact same thing?

This type of "lets make up a buzzword, so centuries-old ideas sound like something fresh that I did" seems so self-aggrandizing and annoys the heck out of me.
How can it be bull crud if they are using the accounts of people who have actually lived in Israel?
Time would feel faster too. We perceive time moving faster as we age.

Apparently, it’s because our perception of time is relative. At 5 years old, 1 year feels like a long time because it’s 20% of our lives. But 1 year at 30 years old is a much smaller fraction.

What do you call it when your wife who you deeply love develops schizophrenia and bi-polar tendencies less than a year after you get married and then you sacrifice your 20's to take care of her only for her to end up killing herself, and then you feel sad and try to block the sad memories that make you feel depressed by working all the time and putting yourself to sleep every night for the next ten years by drinking alcohol?

I consider myself to be a high-functioning, depressed alcoholic. Most people who know me have no clue I'm depressed.

Keep in mind, I'm not suicidal. I just often find myself feeling sad and like life is ultimately pointless, and I try to find ways to self-medicate so I don't notice the sadness as much. I also feel severely burnt out, even though I enjoy my job which pays well (which is a very strange paradox that I can't explain even to myself).
I wasn't singling a specific party out here. Merely pointing out that the ruling class is largely (neo)liberal.

Also, I hate to break it to you, but even if GOP opposition to social programs disappeared overnight, I would wager money that we still wouldn't get basic social necessities like UHC or UBI or housing rights. Liberal ideology is just as good at letting the poor die and starve as are the conservatives. The dog and pony show where they pretend their hands are tied cause of opposition is almost completely BS.

See how we still haven't gotten any student debt relief even though the executive could immediately provide it. See how these two liberals are still blocking the filibuster.

I had a garage door problem with the sun too. I tried the toilet paper roll trick, but it was only partially effective. Finally had to replace the sensor.
> it can purge any content globally in about 150ms

Hmm, how can that be? Light in a straight-line fiber optic cable would take 200ms to traverse a greater circle around the world. Add some bends, relays, routers, not to mention servers, and it'll only get longer...

Are you sure the content is really being purged globally in that time, and not just from your local point of presence?

(Disclosure: I'm an engineer on Cloudflare Workers. I have no idea how Fastly does purges. Just trying to understand what you mean here...)
>Most countries keeps drugs illegal without sending addicts to jail.

This has to be a joke, right? Which countries?
Next step: have a system registry for conversion pipe tools.

eg. GPS data. You write a tool that takes in application/gpx+xml, and gpsbabel is registered as a conversion tool so you can just pipe a FIT file in. Of course, there's conversion lossiness issues to be dealt with, but that can then be decided by your tool.
Why don’t the piston heads melt when touching the molten liquid?
It's a perfectly correct term. They're smart because they do some computation, just like a smart speaker or smart phone. They're contracts because they're an agreement between parties. Not legal contracts, but neither are OOP contracts or social contracts or any other kinds of contract.
i had this poster on my wall (actually, the predecessor, which you could order for free by physical mail) my entire sophomore year while taking biochemistry. I used to joke to people that by the end, I would have memorized most of it, and that did actually turn out to be true. Even today, some 28 years later, I remember the hexose mannophoshate shunt.
The problem is that it's a matter of degree. Like another comment mentioned, having some wine every few months isn't being an alcoholic. Being distracted sometimes is completely normal, being distracted too much is a disorder. So it has to be a line you draw somewhere.

And it's not like you can just count them or something. It's not like you can say "5.2 distracto-particles is normal, but 5.3 distracto-particles is ADHD".

And traditionally, "too distracted to hold a job" is a common place you might draw the line between "normal" and "ADHD".

So yeah, you might have to draw the line somewhere arbitrary, but that doesn't mean that the thing it's trying to measure doesn't exist. Any line you draw between "short" and "tall" will be arbitrary, but that doesn't mean height doesn't exist.
I'm not particularly knowledgeable on the topic, but there are all sorts of religious courts (at least in the US). Generally they coexist with the secular legal system.

> truth is this is a headphone genre. Which at the moment doesn’t support Bluetooth

I’m not sure I follow this comment because Apple phones don’t have headphone jacks, so the majority will listen to atmos via Bluetooth from Apple Music.

I listened to the track the author mentioned, and it was good, in some ways distracting, but nothing mind blowing. I use Bose NC700s over ear headphones. I was expecting something like the THX experience when visiting an IMAX, but without movement, it sounds like enhanced audio. Definitely more layered
The phased array wisp thing has been tried before and failed. People seem to think that wisp is somehow using different physics than 4/5G. In reality it's more like Joe's taxi vs Uber.
Amex has a large purchase notification email you can set up. Have it go to a mailbox with a limit of like $0.01 if it will let you and trigger events based on when the email arrives.
Why doesn’t the heat of fusion vaporize the metal? Does the plasma touching the metal stop the reaction?
You can get email notifications for transactions, posting those to a web hook shouldn’t be hard.
Yeah, my question is more like "uses of non-Monero cryptocurrencies". Monero has a very clear use case: it's the new digital cash, and people actually use it to buy real things.

Why not just mail the faulty drives and get a replacement non-SMR drive?
The whole point of this charade is to prevent negative rates. The Fed can put a floor on interbank lending of reserves by paying interest on them, but it also wants to keep a floor under the non-Fed overnight money markets. Reverse repo is the answer, as it can always offer a positive rate even when market participants refuse to.
Specifically for something that feeds data from an API (or really any other data source) into a blockchain so it is available from smart contracts.

Not GP, but perhaps he's thinking of the TcpStream, which is a sort of "shared state" between executions of parse_line?

Canceling an async task feels a lot like aborting a partially executed DB transaction without rolling back any changes.
> they're just inventing new ways to kick the can down the road

Yes, even mainstream voices are starting to say things like this. Hard to imagine that this doesn't end very, very badly.

The fundamental contradiction is that the Fed wants to goose economic activity with money printing, but simultaneously imposes capital adequacy requirements on banks to prevent systemic risks. You can't have your cake and eat it too; or, in the parlance of classical economics, there's no free lunch.
I assure you I haven’t, and neither has the FBI.
True. Part of it is just a personal problem of mine; I like Ethereum, smart contracts, dapps, DAOs, and decentralization, but I hate finance. (Of any kind.)
Here's the real problem: DEC was doing hand designed processors to get a 20% improvement when everybody else could get 100% by waiting 18 months and riding Moore's law.

What made this possible? Chemechanical polishing.

Why? Because you suddenly had more than 2 layers of metal.

Synthesis systems suck rotten eggs when they don't have lots of routing resources.

Once you had 5+ layers of metal, standard cell synthesis systems are a NoBrainer(tm). You make alternate layers orthogonal and put power and ground on the topmost level.

At that point, anyone not riding the synthesis train was roadkill.
It'll be nothing like as good as Comcast.
> You can't say "ADHD is this" and point at a definitive cause

There's plenty of existing and on-going research that demonstrates differences in brain structure and development in people clinically diagnosed with ADHD. In other words, ADHD is caused by parts of your brain being underdeveloped or damaged. There is on-going research applying machine learning to MRI brain scans to try to predict ADHD through brain scans rather than only clinical diagnosis.
Many people in the audiophile community believe that measurements and bit-perfect are the entire scope of good sound. The author is clearly someone who appreciates good audio, with mid-range headphones.

The smaller part of the community acknowledges that beauty is in the eye/ear of the beholder/listener.

When it comes to headphones, though, audio is to some degree already spatial. Apple does seem to be spreading butter on butter here.
> In FY2019, Apple sold 35 million pairs of AirPods at an average selling price (ASP) of $162 (both are my estimates). On a revenue basis, the AirPods business is on a $6 billion per year run rate that is doubling year-over-year.

$6 billion a year revenue on headphones is insane. Apple is a juggernaut!
The "evil" referred to in Arendt's original usage is being one of the architects of The Holocaust.

The "evil" being described here is trying to sell a few extra units of sugar water. The analogy would be no more appropriate if the "evil" was trying to sell a few extra servers regardless of what IBM did in the 1930s and 1940s.

It is not that simply selling soda is "less severe than the Holocaust", it is that it isn't even in the same realm. The analogy is drawing comparisons between one of the banalities of living in a capitalistic society with one of the worst atrocities that humans have ever committed. At a certain point it isn't even about offending anyone. An analogy that strained is just straight up a bad analogy.
> You’re in the arena. You’re building. You will, at one point in the near future, be miraculously happy and successful

It was a little weird reading this because I became suicidal after I became successful and had a big bank account, beautiful wife and status home.

I'm still trying to understand it, but basically I was so focused on success that I forgot to have a life outside of work. Then when the work was done, I didn't have a life. When I looked around I saw that my kids were grown and I was never going to get that time back. Be careful what you wish for is all I can say.
Storing an essentially plain text copy of your entire phone on an Apple server is the default setting. You have to actively find the setting to enable the security feature (not having Apple give your data to any gov they want) by disabling another feature that makes no mention of security (backups). iOS is not safe.

(author of Dgraph here)

> my impression of dgraph was they had a bunch of unnecessary and poor abstractions in their documentation

I'm surprised to hear that. Dgraph uses GraphQL (and DQL, a fork of GraphQL) as the query language -- which is a lot more widely adopted language than Cypher. Dgraph users really like the simplicity and intuitiveness of the language and ease of use of the DB.

I'm curious what was confusing in documentation.

What constitutes midwest? Googling suggests it's more mid and north - is that right? There's still some charm in flat desert or forest. And if midwest includes South Dakota, I wouldn't cry about that - loved it.

For me, half of the appeal goes beyond the scenery to the ability to freely use a space. I'm not American but visit a lot and think the hierarchy of national parks, state parks and then monuments/forests/BLM is brilliant. If you don't want the rigid rules of a national park, go camp on BLM land for 10 days and pay nothing, etc.
Definitely true. I'm also curious about non-finance use case ideas, though, even if they're not implemented yet or don't have much use.

Smart idea. I want a little more structured data though, around merchant name and transaction amount.
run into "You actually has to pay for the Enterprise edition" a couple of times for what I considered trivial things.

recently trying to ban ip blocks from some bad actors, found I can't get their actual ip in my raw access logs. The really bad people just show up as cloudflare ips in the logs.

So I find a cpanel plugin that is to help, but it was once promoted by cloudflare and no longer supported. There is now some command line thing that needs install and some nano/vim to add cloudlfare things into it.. after a few rounds of trying to piece this together I found it much faster/simpler to disable cloudflare.
That's about the shortest, but most on-point and total, take down of the free market I've seen in some time.
He funds Blue Origin to the tune of a billion USD a year, and he is scheduled to take the first commercial flight on BO's New Separd in July. I doubt he is bored. He also funds Bezos Earth Fund, if you're curious what else he is up to once he steps down from running Amazon.
In other words: find a way to short their fifth project.

> first steps of the self realization process

Every time I see a well written apology letter, I cringe at all the self-actualization rhetoric people respond to it with.

As if they must do more and become some kind of Buddhist monk before true retribution is to be awarded to them.
Ah. By using more complex FHE states and operations, such that part of the state can be decoded/decrypted by the server to direct the server's actions, while other parts remain opaque.

The server may or may not find those decoded parts meaningful: Meaningful would be something like console output while the computation progresses, and a "finished" signal. Non-meaningful (but still useful to the FHE program) would be something that looks like a sequence of memory requests whose locations may as well be pseudo-random.

I've browsed a few tags and haven't been able to see that button and my reputation is 40k+ so I'd expect to have all features enabled.

Are you able to point me to a Meta/Blog post or even just a screenshot please? I'd be keen to see it.

Actually it looks like https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/405302/introducing-... is the announcement for wanting to tackle the problem. Not sure if they've implemented it yet though.
This is cool, but the high cost of using step functions ($0.025 per 1,000 state transitions) makes me pretty wary of using it for anything that doesn't really need the orchestration functionality (i.e. long term wait / retry logic)
My finger was hovering over the flag button for a while. I was following the discussion and for the first hour or so the comments were of ridiculously low quality. I think of the first 20 comments less than 5 had positive score. I was thinking of flagging it because I just didn't see how any good discussion could form on it. I didn't flag because it seemed like the post itself had relevance.
