I tried to read your links above. The first spends over 80% of the article telling everyone how stupid they are and then presents 5 different definitions of "electricity" and then ANOTHER rant about how they are all wrong and finally a list of other articles about various related concepts. If I were a trained EE I would be turned off by the unnecessary ranting. As a grade school level hobbyist I have learned nothing that will help me connect some batteries and LEDs in a useful way.

Same thing for Digikey and Mouser. I've tried to use them to buy a educational kit, set of parts for screwing around with on my desk. Can't figure it out. Here is what i get looking for "kits" at digikey (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/miscellaneous/657).

Amazon has sadly replaced Radio Shack in this space. I have half a dozen FUN kits on my shelf I ordered there from a coin cell battery "toothbrush" robot up to one with bluetooth, USB, ultrasonic, "AI" cameras and all the other fun bit. I even have a SMD solder practice board that cost me 5 dollars and after stressing like mad that I needed to buy some special solder, flux, iron etc I decided I'd give me old butane powered iron and the "High-tech Silver-bearing" solid I got 20 years ago from RS a try and use my cellphone as a microscope. Works fine. 49 of 50 0603 resistors tested fine on the first try.

It's tempting for folks with lots of experience and understanding to look down on beginners or fear they will miss some deep understanding if they learn the wrong metaphors or tools early on. Its fine, my daughter at age 5 thought variables where 'bags' that could hold numbers or letters (some of them only worked with one thing or the other). It doesn't describe the memory model of a modern computer correctly at all but it works well enough that she can write some games for herself a few years later. If she continues to have an interest she can go read "data sheets".
Aren't monitor size changing things though? Like I don't care what size my task bar is if my screen is so big it makes up for it.
I do not know, Apple is a place where most practices are need to know only.
As parent is an actual user, I guess they'll be able to tell if the UI pleases them.

Edit:

> UX used to be driven by researchers like Bruce Tognazzini and Jakob Nielsen, who absolutely did studies with actual users to drive their designs.

Large [UI driven] companies still do this or hire agencies to do so (of which there are far more nowadays given the field is more mature). The fact that UX researchers haven't much visibility outside of UX -- Nielsen started blogging relentlessly at a point in time where there wasn't really anyone else doing that, and it was hoovered up by a wider audience that needed that knowledge. That doesn't mean in any way that he's unique, or that companies who can afford UX teams don't do this. Nielsen and Tognazzini -- they were popularisers, good at producing easily digestible writing for a general audience
Lol what kind of comment is this.
I am pretty sure that China would lose more trying to take the heavily guarded island than they could ever get back from occupying it afterwards. Unfortunately that's not enough to stop major powers from invading for irrational reasons. If major powers only invaded when they had something to gain, Saddam would still be in office.
By the time the "I told you so"s can be deployed, there isn't much we can do. With brains optimized for short-term thinking and over-optimism against all evidence (or just the innate ability to compartmentalize and ignore an imminent threat), it's like this crisis was custom built to kill off humans.
By "stuffy" do you mean just stale air, or is there also excess humidity?
> can read, write, use basic math operations, know a few facts about the country they live in and speak in a way that doesn't require his fellow countrymen to use subtitles

This seems achievable by the 8th grade.

Paternal investment massively improves outcomes, including fitness, for the offspring. There is a ton of data supporting this.
Honestly, I don't think that almost anyone in real life cares about this "line of death" than yourself.
there was a contravariant scheme where web became chromeless, everything was ultra cute, flat and abstracted away while the web became more and more sophisticated (js loading, cdn, reactive/components) too

back in the days you had more information about the technical details of browsing (and prior to that, some browser exposed GC/ram use as a toolbar button)
Corporate taxes directly impact consumers and employees. Corporations just increase prices or cut costs to manage it... Or, if they are multinational, play accounting shenanigans and choose not to remit money back to the US.
"Distracted walking" is pretty well discredited as a deadly scourge to society. Also, walking is travel, and restricting walking already makes travel more inefficient and inconvenient. So I'm gonna go with lowering speed limits.
thankfully they didnt put up a loading spinner. i would explode. :D
This is great. I've had this idea myself but for major legislation in general. A checkup on any new federal law first 2 years later, then 4, then every 8, or maybe a provision to allow a longer time after enough successive affirmations. Congress could live with their easy jobs getting a bit harder.
Indeed. Imagine what this journalist must be paid to write crap like this. Reams and reams of filler that does nothing but waste people's time. Let me take a crack at this:

"Some people have claimed there isn't any tuna in Subway's sandwiches, so I sent some Subway 'tuna' to a lab for testing. They couldn't find an Tuna DNA, but cooking destroys proteins and there's probably no viable substitute or motivation for Subway to use it, so this entire experiment, and by extension this article, was pointless."

There, I just saved you 15 minutes of reading. Where's my $100k a year?
>This is an abhorrent comment. He is already maxed out in terms of clients and time. He doesn’t need more business.

He's so maxed out that he is spending time here answering questions, so charitable of him. I'm sure he won't follow up on any good leads since he has too much business.
I'm wondering if a block of IP addresses got shifted from Asia to Europe recently? That's about the only thing that would make sense to me. But then again, ascribing sense to secret-sauce algorithms and AIs probably isn't a good idea.

People can talk about their own experience without "naming and shaming" other people.
Neat idea! If the author is checking the comments, videos don't work on Firefox Android (they do on Chrome Android).
What would be appropriate?

Firefox has it under "Choose your preferred language for displaying pages" which seems appropriate to me.
How much are you thinking in terms of price? I'd be willing to pay between $10 and $20 USD.
I don't think bankruptcy is likely at all but they have more competition than for a long time (if ever) in their most profitable markets. I don't think backwards looking measures like historic earnings are that useful - if you look at the price / earnings ratio of 12 that tells you that the market is sceptical about Intel's prospects.
> I think Thomas Jefferson is a reputable source for my assertion.

You need more than one because the founding of the US was a group effort. Not all ideas pitched by any given founder made it in, and even when one did many of those who voted to include it had a different understanding of what it meant.
Yeah I had been issued an Aeron at my office and although it wasn't the worst chair I've ever had, it did cause me a lot of soft tissue pain.

After about eight months with the HM, I couldn't take one more day of it so I bought my own generic chair and have been happy ever since.
I have a controversial theory.

Foolish design is everywhere.
Look at web trends. No underlined links, no clear button distinction, childish color schemes and rounded corners everywhere.

Apple UI/UX design is trend setter. They try to be cool and resonate with naive audiences. This is Design by Marketing.

This is the result of corporations hiring cheap millennial designers without proper design foundations, ready to serve and adapt to marketing concepts with compliance and enthusiasm. The burden of boomers expertise and professional code is no go for the future designed to serve boards of executives and shareholders.

This trend will continue rapidly, complexity will increase to the point where users will need AI to make choices and filter UX crap created by semi-pros for pennies.
Yep.
It seems like UX/UI design has devolved to eliminate extensive (actual) user testing/feedback/enhancement.

Instead, the big FANG cos are happy to accept whatever their 'experienced' designer thinks is an exciting new look with some perfunctory review by the marketing dept.

IMHO the what's-old-is-new-again can't come soon enough when it comes to UI design!
I agree that your solar-powered cooling is a giant improvement. But the water situation still seems totally unsustainable.
It also determines who is in the wrong. Cars normally have to yield to pedestrians and are usually presumed at fault if they hit one. The fine is just an extension of formalizing who has the right of way.
In college, I had the privilege of taking and then teaching a VLSI class like this. It was an amazing experience and I think more engineers need to go through the process. When I get the chance (no IP agreement with a company), I want to do the efabless thing that Google is offering
I'm envious that you can prevent interruptions to such an extreme.

For the highly-organized, I hear there is a "tab group" concept, for additional joy. Not sure how that "plays" with multiple windows.
They only gave temporary unemployment and stimulus because the pandemic was temporary
I didn’t like Ender’s Game and it’s portrayal of military boot camp. I had no idea what the training in Enders Game was about besides bullying and cruelty and very simplistic tactics.

I went through US military training in the early 90s. A lot of it was bullshit but the intent was clear to weed out those who cannot handle an incredible amount of stress while you get little sleep or rest. There was no physical or verbal abuse. The intent of the training was to get people to keep performing and getting along with your team while everyone suffered the artificial stress created by the instructors.
"He thinks that ideology is good so for him the glasses are ideology, not the cut-through-ideology tool."

But he's deluded. Regardless of his beliefs, the aliens have in fact imposed an illusion (or "ideology" in Zizek jargon) on him, and the glasses do in fact let you see through that (as he himself does later). He can think whatever he wants, but that doesn't change these facts.

"Once you rebel against bullshit your life becomes very uncomfortable real soon."

So, contrary to Zizek's contention, it's not his "enlightenment" that causes problems, but his trying to fight against those with power. A lesser man might have thrown away the glasses after seeing the truth, or perhaps consciously and deliberately started cooperating with the aliens, as various traitor characters did in The Matrix and V, for example.
The benefit would be if the downside of having one fewer person doing that work is less than the downside of multiple people hearing wrong advice from someone whose license implies they won't talk nonsense about healthcare.

I've no clue myself where the line should be drawn, but there's at least a debate to be had (by people who understand the scenarios a lot better than me). For example, would you say the same about a nurse who tells every patient they see that smoking cigarettes is the best way to prevent cancer, even if apart from constantly saying that they were doing a fine job in other areas?
Those that think Taiwan is not next are fooling themselves.
Hey Peter! Thanks for doing this again. I’m a prospective immigrant founder from India. I’m currently working on a H1B.

Wondering what your take is on EB5 via loans. My understanding is that you effectively just pay the interest? Are USCIS approved investment schemes that invite folks to invest, a lot of times in property in like random american towns super shady? https://www.eb5daily.com/2018/02/eb-5-loan-work/

Also, what do you think about pursuing a PhD to be able to work on my startup and eventually getting a O1 visa and green card via the PhD. How does this compare to getting funded and applying for O1? Whats also the numbers for how many YC immigrants get an O1?
It won't happen. It would be like Russia in Afghanistan. The US would funnel supplies through almost all of their Asian allies in the Pacific as well as deploy a UN peacekeeping force much like in the Yugoslav wars.

You can be damn sure that an American politician would use that as rhetoric to bring jobs back. I can assure you republicans would leap for this opportunity. It would be the best PR they could ever get.
Unlike computer code, laws tend to have wiggle room. IANAL, but I expect in this case "best effort" is good enough.
Investment personalities predicting crashes is a classic PR move, because if the predicted crash doesn't occur, there's no penalty. If it does, the person receives universal permanent adulation.

Ultimately, this nonsense preys on the public's misunderstanding about how markets work, and that all financial positions are bets, which express a measure of certainty in an uncertain outcome.
Does anyone know how condensed mathematics would fit into the modern theory of PDEs (which is heavily based on functional analysis)? Perhaps it's a relic of the sort of math Scholze works on, but it looks far too abstract to provide an impetus for people in those fields to embrace it. Topology, on the other hand, is relatively easy to define and work with (though there are some quirks with dual spaces of continuous linear functionals I've seen aesthetic objections to). Or does it "contain" topology in some sense, allowing people to continue working with notions of convergence obtained from norms?
Right now that would be politically untenable as majority in the House and Senate have the position that Corporations are evil and do not pay their fair share™, they are actively working on rolling back Corporate tax cuts from previous administration.

Further there is a large amount of political power that is openly hostile to manufacturing believing the US should move beyond manufacturing as it is seen as "dirty" and not viable instead they put their stock in the "service" and "information" economies which have yet to prove their viability absent a strong mfg base.

In the short term given all the news about chip shortages being a national security and economic security issue many politicians will look the other way for a small concession to a critical industry but still remain openly hostile to manufacturing in general
If the expert witness were lying, wouldn't that be perjury, and doesn't that come with its own legal repercussions?
I'm not measuring anything but current in amperes. There's plenty of things I can measure in cups besides water.
Meet isn't much integrated into Chrome, so absent a Chrome bug, closing Meet stops running Meet code, so stops the meeting. “Closing” Zoom relies on Zoom detecting the closure and stopping the meeting.

It's not about spying from the software authors (having these softwares on your computer makes that impossible to defend against), but about knowing whether the people you were just talking to still have access to your camera and microphone feeds.
That’s great to hear :)
Scottish cuisine is pretty good, maybe you meant English...
It's not so simple.
A German citizen in the US is protected by the GDPR if he uses a EU company's service, even a US citizen in the US is then protected by GDPR.

Here it is the same, if he uses EU Google he is protected, because of the switch to Google Malaysia he isn't anymore.
FWIW, while watching my mom use her MacBook I've noticed that sometimes she can't tell the difference between a website with a back button and the browser's own back button. For less tech savvy users, the delineation isn't always clear. Especially if the browser's chrome changes frequently
i think that is true for jobs in general, but I strongly suspect it doesn’t apply generically to tech and finance salaries.
Maybe VPN or Proxy servers
This sort of thing is very easily gamed using transfer pricing. There's a worldwide effort to see whether it's possible to tax using some combination of where profits are made, where the workforce is, etc. (OECD BEPS) but you can't "just" introduce a new bit of tax law and hope that it will survive the scrutiny thousands of tax lawyers eager to get their clients to pay as little as possible.
Most people on the planet agree that the ideal family involves both parents in a loving stable relationship who are able to provide for their children’s needs.
Anything far from C. Anything related to AI-driven mechanism operation: you'll be put in jail if it kills a human. Start your own software business, learn marketing and design, invent a solution to some problem, and become best in that. The other way is to becom a "dev" perpetually fulfilling some capitalist's dream of becoming rich and famous.
You can also just hire them part time so you don't have to pay benefits. Also change their schedules weekly so that the "employees" can't find additional work. That way, whatever taxes you do pay would just pay for EBT and Medicaid, you would have otherwise paid for with higher pay and health coverage had you hired full time.
Offshoring profits is not related to manufacturing offshore.
I didn't mean to go for an argument but am sorry if I did and hope you have an excellent rest of your weekend!
How but just asking your customer instead of guessing by unreliable factors?
This has nothing to do with JS.
Yes my mistake it was slog, this is easily reproducible w/ truenas, add cache, manually remove cache from cli, hardlock, there are multiple reports of this in the openzfs issue tracker
Um, you don't need to waste copious amounts of dollars on designers and developers to know that it is a terrible idea to mix the address bar with the tabs.

It's a mess, and the vertical space you save is nominal compare to the increased frustration you will create for users when they have a tougher time being able to read their URL (something that's already an issue for everyone) and relegating the tabs to about half the horizontal space they could have had.

This is utterly pointless. It's not about being an old person resistant to change, it's about "fixing" something that was not broken and not even doing a lateral move, but totally regressing the utility it served.
Not the EU branch. Global boycott laws, like US ones, are forbidden.
If they're also hitting phones that were only in the state temporarily it must be using cell tower locations right? I use an always on VPN and it still auto installed (without opting in) but I have my E911 address set here so I'd have guessed that otherwise.
Hi, thanks for doing this.
I was working for a tech startup under H1B. I was laid off 1.5 months ago with less than 1 week notice. They didn't say anything about covering transportation costs for me to go back to my country. I think they haven't submitted the request for withdrawal either. (I checked on USCIS).
- Is it true that they're legally responsible for paying the transportation costs? Can I accept the money without actually going back (due to Covid)?
- Are they also responsible for paying my salary if they "forgot" to submit the withdrawal request? Can I sue them later?

I couldn't find a sponsoring company for H1B transfer. I know I'm out of time. But I have plan B so I'm not worrying about overstaying.
Thank you!
In this article, Google wasn't incorrect though - this person just wanted the rules for a country they werent in to apply instead of local rules. Google made a good faith attempt to comply with local rules for this customer based on the (correct) location data they had.
> there are students who can understand the material but lack the ability to sit still

These students would benefit from a different teaching style, no?
I've tried tree style tabs a few times but it always ends up being too much.

The implementations of vertical tabs I've liked best so far are OmniWeb's (perhaps one of the original vertical tab browsers), Edge's, and Firefox with Tab Center Redux and custom CSS to hide Firefox's frustrating mandatory sidebar header.
i generally decide my own clothing. and... if I choose UI X... I would like to keep using it. At some point, I have to adopt someone else's ideas of 'good UI' in order to keep using a computer for 'every day' stuff. At some point, my online banking forces an upgrade, and that means 'new UI', whether I like it or not. I can keep wearing 70s flares and still go in and use a local bank if I chose to.
> The US government makes zero dollars on exports.

The companies that make the exports pay taxes. Their employees pay taxes.
A lot of the article was about how human behavior varies based on culture, including the role of the father. It also talks about studies where children without fathers had the same survival rates as those with fathers, and speculates that the father role might be fillable by other members of society. So that conclusion was not totally out of the blue.
I mean, not currently, but you could make them related with legislation. Which is kind of the idea of this tax credit in the first place, I guess.
I don't think previous commenter was thinking about the promille of the wine but rather referring to a strong flavour, in order to mask the taste/feeling of eating maggots.
I disagree, even EU companies don't have to adhere to the GDPR if they don't target EU countries. Google doesn't have to adhere to the GDPR for people in the US, whether they're EU citizens or not.
Chip shortages came around when Covid hit the car industry and everyone dialed back their orders, manufacturers reduced their output. Now everyone wants chip as a “post-Covid” world wants to spend the money they’ve saved by staying at home last year.

Apple, in the meantime, bought out all of TSMC’s initial 4nm capacity, so they’re likely fine.
This is an attempt sneak DRM into an industry full of passionate and knowledgeable buyers.

Bad move.
Because Trump did that. And as we all know anything that Trump did has to be wrong.
You don't have enough personal experience perhaps to know licensing is more about power and protectionist rakets than the claimed purpose.

My dad was a doctor who lost his license (nothing dramatic or gossip-worthy involved). He was primarily treating opiate addicts with something called Suboxone. It is sensitive enough that the state puts a hard limit on patients you can have - 100. This means people who need the treatment are often on waiting lists because the doctors who have the qualification to write Suboxone are often at their 100 patient limit. Father told the medical board they need to find placements for his 100 patients or they will end up dead WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. Medical board couldn't give two shits since that's not their problem, last we know at least three died within 4 months or so of not being able to find a new doctor.

This is why I like installing a firewall in my phone.

I have used Glasswire and am pretty happy with it (no affiliation) because it allows me to block individual apps from having internet connectivity, and can configure it to notify me the first time an app tries to connect.

Of course, the problem is that it's a hassle to have to check and block new stuff, or unblock when I need to use something (e.g. Uber).
