But that's still less than half a percent of the US population.
I used to care for the security of my work machine. I was sole admin. No corporate crap- or spyware. I was responsible and I learned a lot.

We got bought. Big corp enforced Endpoint Management and a whole barrage of corporate spyware.

I am not an admin anymore. I can't even use an AdBlock solution anymore.

And guess what. I don't give a damn anymore. If the device enforces an update, so he it. If I have to double approve every external mail address when sending, so be it.

But I don't feel ownership or responsibility anymore. Should corporate overlords care. I am out.

san diego long time resident here. the city has the climate you describe only by virtue of it being centered almost entirely within a coastal scrub biome about 20-30 miles wide. it's a sweet spot both created by and geographically impacted within the enclosure of a low coastal range immediately east, beyond which things get very hot and barren almost immediately.

this strip exists in some form for most of the so cal coastline up through roughly the central coast, where the mountain range edges up to the water line itself.

it's just not anywhere near enough land. Too narrow, and much of the land is impractical to live within outside of retirement or vacation circumstances (not even considering that vast swathes are on military property).

It cannot absorb a mass westward migration. this is evident in the property values where settlement has already been long established.
Where I live in Florida, roofs routinely get hotter than that. Listed temps measure air temp, in a ventilated box 5 feet above grass. This is nothing like being on a roof in Summer here. We aren't a desert and we have tens of millions of people. This isn't going to work.

An aside, I was dating a woman from The North. She came here and we were travelling around the State. We stopped in Venice at a restaurant, I wasn't paying attention, and she just hopped out of the car barefoot! Only did that once, though.
> Just throw a sprinkler on the thing.

Yeah, that's a brilliant plan for a part of the world that is severely restricted on water usage and is routinely in drought conditions.
Not really. Pretty much every single national broadcaster of note used Realnetworks streaming in 1995-1996. They just didn't care for archiving, just like they don't care about that today.

uBlock Origin is using Web Assembly now for certain critical code. Anyway performance differences between the two have always been negligible and often fluctuating.
Well, if the thoughts are bad, they can lead to anxiety and torment, so removing them can alleviate these feelings, or so the thinking goes. But perhaps the causal relationship between the two is the reverse? Interesting to consider.

No it doesn't. An AC essentially transfers more heat energy out than electricity it consumes. Most heating generates exactly as much heat as energy consumed (electric heaters, burning fuels, etc.). Heat pumps are an exception but they don't work well before freezing temperatures.
Just because lots of people made the same decision doesn’t make it smart or reasonable.

I guess we should also avoid rust proofing metals since most people don't live by the ocean, too.
> When Nguyen bought a new charger from RavPower, she received an offer for a $35 gift card in exchange for an Amazon review. That kind of manipulation has been against Amazon’s rules since 2016, and Sunvalley’s statement suggests that’s also the reason why these brands were suspended.

Legimately don't remember the last time I bought a product on Amazon that I found for the first time on the site that didn't come with one of these. Kitchen gear, USB Cables, Knickknacks, Clothing, "Wanna leave a review for a 15 dollar rebate?".

I also got a free umbrella on a freelance site once for leaving a review for said umbrella. I didn't understand what the motivation was for the sellers and I really only found out after I had gotten the umbrella what the TOS Violation was, so I immediately mailed the appropriate Amazon email to report the violation. Naturally literally nothing happened. Umbrella has been nice enough though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
How many Realnetworks streams from 1996 are playable today? I’d wager not many.

By 1996 it was obvious that streaming video was technically possible. I don’t think it was anywhere near as obvious that it would become a cultural force to the extent that it has, nor that archiving such streams was particularly important. Not to mention the monetary angle: such deals would have cost the BBC more money and I’m not sure the majority of the population would have seen it as a worthy use of money at the time.
Right. Server replacement is ~5 years but it's staggered. So you'll gradually roll out new servers & gradually decommission old ones (with a rapid decommissioning phase towards the end of the server lifetime). However, not every company will adopt AMD processors when they first become available OR they may hedge their bets & do a mixed blend (e.g. Amazon offers Intel & AMD for their customers). Both of these are why it'll probably take 5 years to start seeing the initial impact & longer to see the full impact (e.g. AMD start exceeding Intel marketshare) for the early majority/later majority & laggards to adopt.

As far as being unable to buy AMD based servers I don't know. There's certainly a lot of announcements about it:

https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/amd/

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-new-amd-ep...

Obviously it's hard to know how many they've rolled out but I think it's more than a trivial amount. I'm suspicious of the graph because I don't know how they're capturing that data.

I'm 5'10" too and have an average build! I had terrible back pain from my Office Max chair so I tried the Aeron, Mirra, and Embody. I didn't like any of them. I was about to give up, but then I tried the Steelcase Leap v2 and it was perfect! I purchased it ~6 years ago and haven't looked back. I think someone with a stocky build might prefer the Aaron since it has more seating room, but for my build the Leap is perfect.
I think a natural key that I’ve encountered is a database containing professional NBA data. Teams never play more than once per day, and there are only two teams in the game, so a natural (composite) key for games is simply the date of the game and the two teams that played. You can create a “game ID” if you wish, but you aren’t actually doing anything but adding a column of redundant information.

Where can I find these streams now?

You're talking about people finding out that streaming was technically possible, not that society would adopt it as the way to distribute content in the future.
> If something works really well, they'll keep using it, sometimes for decades.

But why does it apparently not apply to the operating systems themselves? And how would running win32 apps in a seamless VM (a-la Apple's classic environment) break that?
I might be wrong, but I think the data from the accelerometers would be enough to know the position of the steering wheel without any accumulating error. Of course, the gyro data can be incorporated to improve the system.
As a technical novelty, it is interesting, but I personally don't like the spirit of such a project. I opened up a demo video of the gameplay, and started to 'see' things in the distance that wouldn't normally be seen - things that are meant to be hidden at first, and then 'stumbled' into as you advance a little bit, adding to the sense of mystery and adventure.

I am not buying it either. AMD has been the performance leader for a while. OEMs putting the fastest CPU into a junk chassis because "they are cheaper" makes zero sense unless we're talking shenanigans

Based on this data (someone else shared in another thread): https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/hardware – the numbers shared in the link on this post are misleading.

Looks like the sample size has some bias built into it given the data is from those who use their performance software. I would trust the numbers from Firefox much more (higher scale, much more ubiquitous product).
Browser vendors can carry small patches against Chromium but significant changes are very costly to carry long-term as the code changes under you. Furthermore, Google controls how heavy that burden is for you. In practice browser vendors who choose Chromium don't challenge Google's Web platform decisions except in very narrow cases like FLoC. In contrast Mozilla and Apple examine every Google-proposed Web platform feature or change to see whether it makes sense.

Mozilla's influence over the Web platform is much lower than it was but it is also far from zero. Lots of major sites still test in Firefox. Apple has even more influence. That is why Google doesn't yet has absolute power over the Web platform.

Coincidentally I just commented[1] earlier today about someone who is going exactly what you are looking for with American newscasts. It is likely a time consuming project and can get expensive depending on how public the "publicly accessible" requirement is, but it is doable for a single person or small group.

Interesting ideas, this could be very useful for the IoT space.
I just don't understand comments like this. 7 million people didn't decide to move here this year. Conditions in Arizona have dramatically changed over the lifetime of the state.

It doesn't make sense to live where you can freeze to death or don't have access to water, either, does it? Except those two scenarios include most Americans. Without modern infrastructure, it hardly makes sense to live anywhere.
(not saying I think this is a solution, but...)

If the goal is to stop companies from paying ransom, then why not just make that illegal?

In 1996, almost everyone in the UK was still on dialup. Real videos typically resulted in significant latency for a not great quality image. As such, streaming wasn't obvious at that time, at least as a ubiquitous access medium.
This is just a trick to hide that the documentation is terrible and useless. If we get to a “this content doesn’t exist” then we think that there is an answer to our question, we just can’t find it. We eventually give up, blaming ourself for not finding it; instead of finding and getting something stupid and not useful.
In fact, the basic sources used by etymonline.com are mentioned on the site's home page, which also links to this more extensive (complete?) list of primary and secondary sources: https://www.etymonline.com/columns/post/sources

A few of the individual entries do reference one or more of these sources by name; for example, the entry for "better" says "...Boutkan finds no good IE etymology", where "Boutkan" is one of the entries under "Other Sources".
I agree 1-1 is great but I don't find it exceptional. Most of level-based games (at least during that time) are like that. You learn mechanics by playing easier levels, no direct verbal tutorials or whatsoever.

And it's not really perfect, for example I literally never knew Mario has acceleration in my childhood (granted, I didn't play on NES but in emulator on computers).
Do you have any reading material about how you achieved this?

I can't really see how zero-knowledge proofs could solve this. There is no cryptographic way to prove that software executing on a clients machine triggered a notification.
Especially on Linux where an open source notification manager could be modified to reject it.
We had 3 at home (too much enthusiasm, not enough brains). I still have one in the room and one upstairs, one went to garbage a few years ago. There are much better chairs out there, but you may not know until you find them.

People who are downvoting you don't realise that sometimes corporates even spend millions of dollars to determine such small things, like even choosing the right word or colour to determine how to best influence consumers.
ironic that within the first paragraph they cant even briefly explain what it is.

Surprised to see that yours is the only mention of the Steelcase Think!

I’ll add my 2c. I’ve had a Steelcase Think since around 2012. Every other chair for me before that (including an Aeron) led to back pain - this “fixed” that problem for me, although of course ymmv.

I’ve had almost 10 comfortable years in that chair. Recently the gas cylinder finally gave out, but Steelcase replaced it for free - including sending a technician to my home to do the work - notwithstanding that it is out of warranty.
I mean, I don't expect California cars to get undercoated, for example.
> Of course they were supposed to do so, then. But they didn't, and now they've been hit.

In order for this to be a useful tactic, there needs to be no defection. The only way there can be no defection is if the legislature prohibits defection.

At that point, the hospital is on notice that they have to apply adequate security measures against this kind of attack. For instance, hospitals normally have power supplies that are capable of getting them through foreseeable blackouts. If they're going to rely on computer systems in the treatment of patients, they had better make sure they're secure. Right now, today, it isn't a surprise.

And the hackers are on notice that they are effectively killing the patients. The hackers are after the money. If the threat of death will get them the money, they're all for it. If it won't, they'll move on to a country where it does work.
I will call reactive paradigms "satisfactory" after I get to see any real framework on it that is easy to read and write large programs on.

Yes, they are very promising. But since every single widely deployed language (and "widely" here includes things like Haskell) is a bad fit to it, we are missing some more development before that promise is fulfilled or failed.

(And by the way, the JS frameworks, popular as they are can not claim to be free from the Von Neumann constraints. That requires a pure language.)
>You can move west without moving to a desert.

is San Diego really different from LA water (or climate) wise?
Because the cost would go up, and marketing becomes harder which makes it harder to get data and revenue to continue engineering.
As well as interesting discussions that got me reading up on Binary Space Partitioning [1] and other collision detection trickery. I just wish more UI developers cared that much about interaction latency.

Given the size of Phoenix, people don’t give a fuck about their resource use.
I second the Steelcase Leap. I have used both the Aeron and the Leap a lot. The Leap is a significantly better chair
This sounds pretty good to me.

This point stood out to me:

> I think of everyone in the room as an equal in such settings, and I expect them to see themselves this way. I clearly forget that I am the oldest and most experienced—and I should act this way in a post-mortem conversation.

Clearly this is a major blind spot, esp. when considering the "free speech experiment" section of the site... publishing what Damore posted as a mere Jr. SoftEng in Google is radically not the same as doing it as one of the most senior people in the organisation - it's pretty much the opposite of speaking truth to power and of course it can be seen as an act of intimidation, even if you are in the ideological minority.
Thank you very very much for the tips!
I'm American so I can't say I'm too familiar with how the BBC was streaming content in the 90s, but RealNetworks didn't have video streaming technology until 1997[1] so the BBC surely wasn't using them for anything but maybe radio in 1995-1996.

Half Life Alyx was an interesting example of this.

I've played lots of games, so of course I am good at reading the "language" of games: when I can interact with something, when a door is openable vs a prop, when an NPC is important vs background character, etc.

But in VR, all my experience was thrown out the window.

When there's a door right there, right in front of you, 100% full sized and in high detail - your instinct screams "you can open this."

Valve painted anything you can interact with bright, vibrant red. But even the bright red wasn't always enough to distinguish between the life-sized 3D garbage can that you can open up, and the one that is simply a prop that is glued to the ground and totally inert.

I think there will be a strange dance between game designers and gamers when it comes to VR. Everything old is new again, and even veterans players of 2D games will need to learn the new language as it is being written.
Please. The whole point of Starlink is that it's suitable for places where there is poor existing infrastructure. The desert tops the list! They also have service area restrictions for sign up.

Just say Tesla dropped the ball on this engineering prototype and V2 will work on the sun.
I have two boxes that are mainly used as NASes, and I just wait to upgrade until I can fit the contents of both onto one new array. So I bring one down and set it up with the new array, copy the old one still up onto the new array, then swap the now copied array with the array I removed to set up the new array. It's a juggle, basically, but since I use mdadm everything sets itself up pretty painlessly.
For me I drink anything I can get my hands on and force myself to burp it up. In rare cases water doesn't work and I need something carbonated.

Great point. I think this highlights the importance of what we consider acceptable tolerances.
Try asking your Google assistant this question.
I have to disagree, but will consider your argument.
I just don't think you can write code that does money transmission and publish it and say you are now not doing money transmission because you can't modify it after it is published.
Paypal could write some code and publish it on AWS, perhaps they make it so that they can never modify it every again and imagine it functions just fine. Are they now not doing money transmission?
If you don't like the video, flick up to move to the video.
we have Argentinians in Dublin too. they were previously in Spain.
(Audio, not video. Doesn't anyone remember that Realnetworks only did audio at first?) Okay, let's say that high audio quality (mp3 128 kbps) audio streaming wasn't obvious until the year 2000. Surely after year 2000 all of the rights must have been worked out and all of the radio shows were properly stored and served for public on-demand consumption?

Nope.
> it's simply an unrealistic expectation that URIs don't change.

I disagree. If I generate urls systematically, then when I change the scheme I can easily send a 302 with the new url.

It’s also not hard to just keep a mapping table with old and new.

I think that it’s lazy programmers who can’t handle it. Or chaotic content creators.

I’ve had many conversations with SharePoint people who frequently change urls by renaming files and then just expect everyone linking to it to change their links. They seem to design content without ever linking because links break so much.

It’s the damndest thing as it makes content hard to link to and reuse. People are too young to even care about links and stuff.

Of course if SharePoint search didn’t suck it wouldn’t be as much of an issue.
> For the climate-friendly but less glamorous northern cities like Albany, Worcester, and Pittsburg, a successful marketing campaign could make them the climate-proof cities of the future.

Putting aside any of the climate change arguments, suggesting that successful marketing could make Albany a “city of the future” is absurd. I don’t know what you would have to pay me to be willing to live in Albany, ever, let alone during the winter — but it would be a lot. Like, at least $1.5m a year. And even then, I’m going to be taking many bad for the environment flights to NYC or a more desirable western city as often as possible. I abhor the Midwest (although Chicago, Boulder, and Denver are some exceptions), but if I’m going to have to live in a shithole, I’d rather be in Michigan or Minnesota or even Indiana before I would live in Albany.

The article also seems to ignore non-coastal western and southern cities that aren’t as deeply impacted by climate change. Yeah, Phoenix and Las Vegas might be fucked, but Denver? Salt Lake City?

It says “don’t move west,” but also mentions Seattle, NYC, and Boston and places that need to still concentrate on affordable housing to be attractive — which as a person who has lived in NYC and Seattle, I can tell you housing/rent hasn’t been affordable in NYC compared to the rest of the world in decades and Seattle is getting less and less affordable (I pay more in rent than all but one of my NYC friends and her mortgage is a monthly figure that would make even most New Yorkers choke), housing isn’t affordable because it doesn’t have to be.
