I’m not a Trump supporter, but in the most recent Danish election, the platform that saw the most campaigning funds by all Danish political parties (and we elect quite a few) was Facebook. Most campaigning funds by a lot, mind you. This has been an increasing trend since Obama.

We’ve even got studies that show, that Social Media are easily the platforms where you buy the most influence per money spent.

Of course with no oversight and no public record of what gets shown to whom, unlike all other forms of political campaigning in Denmark, we do kind of put our election results in the hands of a single American billionaire.

It’s no secret that I don’t think our elected officials should get off these platforms, but they are obviously not going to do so when they are so powerful mediums, which means we need to regulate them.
I worked at IBM a long long time ago, and this reminds me of one of my favorite stories. At the time I worked at IBM, they were going through a series of layoffs (what's new huh?). I kept hearing this term, "opportunity for redeployment" from my fellow team members and others. Sometimes it would be phrased as, "I heard Bob got 'the opportunity'". I eventually asked my bitter/cynical team lead what it really meant and why everyone shook their head in sadness when they heard that someone else got "the opportunity". The answer was simple. These people were being "redeployed" to other companies. And they should probably find the company they will be deployed to next, because IBM is no longer employing them. And the word opportunity made it sound less crappy than reality.

Maybe this is my favorite story, because redeploying myself from IBM years ago gave me many opportunities. I hope to someday forget Lotus Notes, Sametime, CMVC, Rational Rose, etc. And good luck to anyone trapped in a place like that.
QA is different for every type of engineering organization.

It shouldn't be automatically thrown around or diffused as something tertiary that can be subordinate wherever it lands. That works in a 3 person startup, but not if you're building an aircraft carrier or an iPhone.

This isn't a problem in practice though, you just get "strange" constants with units equal to some negative power of U in your equations. The same thing happens when you move from electrostatic units to SI: suddenly Coulomb's constant appears. Many people advocate ESU for precisely that reason: no Coulomb's constant.

It's the third only if you compare to Chrome experimental APIs, that Firefox devs feel pressured to implement too. When people say it's the new IE they are not saying it's IE6 in 2010, but it's IE6 in early 00's. Google thanks to their monopoly on the web as a platform (except for an iOS anomaly in some parts of the US) is now at the extinguish part of the MS playbook (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis...).

> Another useful tidbit is if your formula has a log or an exp, the arg needs to be dimensionless.

I have cognitive dissonance about that. I understand that if you look at the Taylor series of Exp(x), you're clearly adding terms containing 1, x, x^2, x^3, etc., and that it doesn't make sense to add a meter to a square meter to a cubic meter and so forth. So therefore Exp(1m) doesn't/shouldn't make sense.

But on the other hand, I can come up with examples that seem to make sense, but seem "dimensionful". Is a bit dimensionless? Because it certainly makes sense to consider 2^(32 bits) and 2^(4 bytes). Yet bits are deeply related to entropy and might even be considered a unit of energy. Are we sure they're dimensionless? What is a "square bit" anyway?

I can also define "specific meters" to be the length of an object divided by the length of a 1-meter-long stick. This value is now dimensionless, so it should be OK to exponentiate it, correct? Am I cheating? How?

Or I should be allowed to take Log(7 mg/kg) because mg/kg is dimensionless. But this should equal Log(7 mg) - Log(1 kg), which I'm not allowed to do. What gives?

Again I come back to: is this actually helping me catch errors in my calculation? I'm honestly not sure here.
It makes watching Star Trek more amusing.

I am having difficulty working out what your position is here. Before you were talking about taking out multi block areas. Now you're talking about consumer equipment that is prevented from interfering with other frequencies. I was objecting to the former -- wherever you choose to draw your line, clearly interfering with safety-critical communications over a wide area should be well past it. The latter is a prudent step for mass market consumer goods.

How to Build a Video Chat App
This device "could" produce 1.5 gallons per day, per square metre of solar collecting area. The researchers estimate a system suitable for a family might be built for $100, so double or triple that after profits etc.

I assume that the 1.5 gallons was the highest yield they would have had from a single day, had they had a 1 square metre solar panel, and the expected average yield would be less (accounting for cloud cover etc.)

But even with reduced yield, for very small communities of a few dozen people, this definitely could work out.
Did the engineers have any input in the name?

It certainly is surprising to me that kids would care. And then that they would think an AI product is a negative versus a positive or neutral example of the name. I thought bullies were more concerned with physical prowess or complexion or such things.

Maybe they should just deal with the bullies themselves rather than blaming 3rd parties for the insults bullies come up with.
Looks good. Fair pricing. I hope it works out for them.

I started out with self-hosting mail-in-a-box [1]. If you really want to self-host, I can highly recommend it. Would be the cheapest option. At some point I decided to let go of it, because maintenance and configuration can still be a bit cumbersome. There was one thing (DMARC or DNSSEC?) which I never was able to set up properly for some unknown reason, even after long hours tinkering around with it...

So I started to look at other mail hosting offerings with custom domain. One thing I like is that gandi offers free mail hosting for a domain you order through them. [2] That's quite unique for a domain registrar.

Also, be aware that free 3rd-party mail hosting with a custom domain does not exist. I started out with the free plan at migadu, but they switched to a paid plan soon after. [3]

The same happened to postale.io after a while. [4] At least I could keep my free plan there.

Zoho is free [5], but their custom mail application and the countless other services they try to sell you completely put me off.

Cooking in a pan is in general 400-500F. But "normal use" also means you occasionally burn, overheat or scratch the pan.

At that point your nonstick pan releases toxic fumes, and starts to deteriorate.

PTFE is banned here, after research showed correlation with cancer.

With "normal use" there would be 0 car incidents, 0 plane crashes, 0 shootings.

Of course, there's a kinda reasonable reason for the hardware token requirement: Widely publicised 2010 virus 'StuxNet' had a driver signature, using a stolen copy of Realtek's driver signing certificate. [1]

And stolen certificates make the whole code-signing house of cards falls apart - you can't trust something signed by Realtek if it was not, in fact, signed by Realtek!

Of course, hardware tokens aren't a panacea: Some malware authors simply set up a shell company and get a certificate issued to that company.

I guess water evaporates naturally, adding sunlight speed up the process.

Is the water pumping also passive? I'm just assuming that you'll have salt water on a lower level, and you'll need to lift it up to this installation to process it.. with a pump.
What's the point here? Is electricity even the bottleneck of water desalination? I thought the biggest issue with these plans is the brine. That is the major pollutant, and no amount of solar panels will solve that.
That is very disappointing. Having a verified publisher signature is a good security measure, but Apple seem to not believe that.

Shortcuts is buggy as hell in the beta, but it looks like it will be better than Automator when it's done - even for advanced tasks. What's most important is that third party apps actually support it, and that's way easier with Shortcuts.
This feels like the same argument as giving airtime to climate change conspiracy theorists. "We have to give both sides equal airtime".

Embracing ambiguity is fine when there is genuine ambiguity. Portraying minority or fringe ideas as 'ambiguity' is dangerous.
> Parents of children called Alexa say their daughters are being bullied

This is, as they say now, disturbing and shocking.

First, if some child is chosen to be a target for bullying, then the name is just one of thousands reasons to do so. If it is not name, then something else, surname, dress style, hair color, birthmark, height, whatever. In a different situation the same name can a reason to be envy of that person name for example.

Second, likely these "parents" exaggerated the situation for their 15 seconds of fame: nobody is going to write an article about a child not being bullied about name "Alexa".

Third, this might be another sign of victimhood culture. They teach their children to be a victim and be proud of it instead of teaching their children how to defend themselves:

- Alexa, play disco
- I'm sorry, I don't recognize your accent

- Alexa, play disco
- La-la-la, there is a boy named George, he is not very smart, this is a disco song

- Alexa, play disco
- Sure, it will cost you a quid

- Alexa, play disco
- I didn't recognize the command, please repeat louder
- Alexa, play disco
- You are dumb, aren't you?

It looks like feature size is roughly 0.2mm. This is achievable with hobby grade printers.

Even though the video shows an FDM printer, these look like resin prints. Resin printers tend to have better resolution.

I might be able to print this with my Ender 3, but I bet a resin printer would do better.
Considering some of the behaviour described just amounts to bullying, Amazon should be liable for the bullying this caused, since it WILL cause suicides and deaths. Bullying is not to be taken lightly (of course the schools in the article will deny it's taking place).

People who think Apple is killing MacOS generally do because they think Apple is sacrificing the utility of the desktop in favor of sharing code/UI with their mobile platforms.

I don't think these people will be fond of the sweeping changes made in Win11's UI that are dedicated to touch interfaces/tablets, and to the big new feature of running Android apps "natively" on Windows, along with an Android app store.

The ability to run Linux software is also mostly irrelevant, as MacOS/Darwin has largely been able to run those same programs natively since the beginning. It's never needed a POSIX compatibility layer -- it was built to support that functionality from day 1. e.g. Apple didn't need to build a compatibility shim to tunnel Wayland/X11 applications because Quartz was designed from the start to support that use case.

One thing is not very clear: how many custom domains can I have? Can I use 30 domains with 2 users each (random number, but i do need 3 domains).

How is the mailbox on phone? My major problem with email hosting is the lack of a decent mailbox service that's available on. Windows, android, linux that's either. One-time-purchase or open source. A monthly fee is fine if for unlimited users (I have a family)
I would leave too if my employer tries to put me in such a box. They ignore the fact that most people don't want to be called Latinx+. Not surprising in my opinion.

Even Google seems to have some idiots working for them. They cannot be convinced otherwise, even if you state that you don't like it. They are even more repellent than racists that just stand by their views.

I don't think racism was a problem at Google before it was invented by people that push such labels. This is pure snake oil, selling the problem and the solution.

I'm in the UK and have never met someone called Alexa. Is it really a common name? Perhaps it is in the US, but it's not like Amazon chose a popular human name e.g. Sarah, Ben, etc.

Of all things I am suspicious of why they would choose a female name for an assistant.
They just sell a product that consumers want. If people want to reduce co2 emissions, just stop buying anything involving fossile fuels. Which is every product on the market today.
Cool! I'll make a note of it on my task list (I think I still have the old task on there too, which is nothing against SaaShub, I was preoccupied).
At what point does it make sense to simply use the web for this? This is what the web was meant for, to enable standardized, dumb clients to consume content from any provider. What we have today is a wonderful architecture and a solid set of standards that is the result of over 20 years of evolution. As a user, there is not much I haven't been able to do on the web, that I do on mobile apps. Why do companies insist on the apps model, even when it causes them so much pain as to reinvent the web? Is the performance or user experience over web really that bad, even in this day and age to warrant shipping a 100MB package to the user? Or are there some nefarious gains or access to privileged information to be had by having your app installed on the user's device that the browser sandbox typically safe guards against?

I always had that little voice in the back of my head, that told me that RH and all the others are just feeding small investors' money to the big ones. I never really figuered out how, selling their order low at worse spreads than others explains a lot of my doubts, so. It also means that I will stay away from those brokers as far as possile. Well, not that I'm a potential client anyway, the only trading I do is with RSU and ESOPs I received over my career using whatever brokerage came with these packages. And then only to sell some from time to time, like once every other year if a all. If I want to gamble, I take ten bucks to the nearest casino's roullette table and have fun or an hour or so.
Yes, I know. I’m specifically talking about underwriting where the company raising funds typically pays a portion of the proceeds. This would be the first instance where the underwritee is earning fees off this process.

If you’re referring to Gatekeeper, that was introduced long before even Mojave. Likewise the third party kernel extension lock down was also a security move. The former can be disabled in recovery mode and you can add exceptions to the latter. Apple usually allows power users to work around their security features. Besides the introduction of new bugs, most changes in recent years have been cosmetic and the unification features are bloat at worst, for users that don’t want them.
Isn't the article you linked referring to carrier unlocking? Because there are indeed laws regulating that (i.e., stating that after 2 years from the purchase all phones must be unlockable, or stuff like that), but in that case it's just a matter of having the modem run on all carriers IIRC.
There really is a need for an unfiltered, long form, respectful interview. Rogan does that better than anyone right now.
While I dislike concepts like "body shaming", and don't believe obesity is due to "body type", I fully agree with the decision. Weight loss products are ALWAYS a scam and with the false hopes provided actually prevent the users from searching a working, healthy and long term solution.

And I could go further than that: the entire internet fitness industry is a scam. I know it's a strong claim and I don't offer proof but the discussion is huge. "Unrealistic body standards" is a real thing - "influencers" are using steroids, plastic surgery, makeup, lighting, photoshop, dehydration, etc, while selling weight gainers, weight loss pills, horrible workout programs, etc.

Exactly. And I don't think anyone could have predicted that people will complain about it so late. But there are other issues that they probably didn't forsee. People have complained that they are all female as well, but I could see why an engineer would want to mimic Star Trek or didn't think in detail about giving it a gendered name and voice to start with.

Other voice assistants aren't as easy to pronounce as Alexa as well; Mycroft, Siri, Ok Google, Bixby.
Oh goodness have I experienced spammers.

The first version that I made ~6 months ago had basically zero protection against spammers/trolls/etc, and it's been a non-stop arms race since then. I could rant for long hours about the numerous types of attacks and what I've had to do to prevent them.

I like the random code idea. But you'd have to ask more than once, otherwise spammers could go through the code once and then turn on their script. So it again becomes a tradeoff of how much to worsen the experience for normal users
> democratised is day trading and gambling, and that's not good

why is it not good? I think as long as the person doing the trading understands the consequences of their actions, they should be allowed to make that trade. If you could prove that people are being defrauded into thinking trading is risk free, then the problem isn't with robinhood but with education and awareness, and that issue must be solved at a societal level, rather than placing all responsibility onto the company providing a utility.
