Some of these can look like $ if they're really tiny, but generally you'll need a while to figure out what's they're supposed to mean if you don't know what you're looking for.
Commercial bandwidth is pretty cheap. You can get servers for a few hundred bucks a month that have one gbps unmetered bandwidth. Then just oversubscribe as much as possible, and the end result is a few bucks a month per user. The discounts are arguably a bit of deceptive marketing, as I've seen some of those services run the same 90% discount campaigns for years. At that point it's the base price, not a discount. The number of options is easily explained by the low barriers to entry, as virtually all of these services just stick a GUI on top of OpenVPN.
He can speak for himself, so I'm not interpreting him here, but:

This was an excellent article. To me "consciousness" cannot be thought of as binary, i.e. humans have it, no other creature does. That's the classical, religious view.

Rather it's just an illusion your brain puts on for you, and rabbits get a different illusion. So it's silly to say "animals are more conscious." They have a different consciousness. Go ahead and google "what is it like to be a bat."
are these the same people who chest on exams in undergrad?
I have a new laptop running Arch, and Bluetooth headphones which nominally can act as a headset as well, but I actively disabled that functionality under Windows, because if something tried to use the atrocious-quality headset microphone, the high-quality headphones output would silently (literally!) not work, and only the low-quality headset audio output would work.

The headset modes haven’t appeared under Linux at all, which happens to suit me just fine, so I haven’t investigated the lack. A couple of times I’ve had issues with connecting at the BlueZ level, but putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up again has resolved it. (Just restarting bluetoothd doesn’t help.)

I was running PulseAudio for a few weeks, then I switched to PipeWire. I no longer get the Bluetooth indicator on it in waybar, but other than that the switch was fairly uneventful. One point is an improvement: it now seems to remember which devices I like to use, so that when I plug in my Yeti microphone it doesn’t switch audio output to it (it has a 3.5mm monitor port and can feed audio from the computer through that too), which it had always done under PulseAudio and I hadn’t yet gone to the trouble of figuring out how to stop it from doing that. One point in the Bluetooth device handling is potentially a slight regression: when silence should be being fed through the connection, I observe extremely quiet whine which I didn’t under PulseAudio. Not sure what’s at fault there.
The problem is that it’s not just words. For instance, if you speak Tariana, every grammatical sentence must have a marker expressing how you know the sentence is true (‘evidentiality’). In Kalam, you only have ~100 verbs, all of which have extremely broad meanings, and any more complex verbal meaning must be created by composing together the verbs you have available. In White Hmong, every noun can occur with a ‘classifier’; its presence or absence specifies whether the noun has been newly introduced or not. And sure, I suppose you could lump all these together as ‘differences in verbosity’, but those differences matter: they mean that the most natural way to express something in Tariana, say, is going to be very different to the most natural way to express something in English, and a translation would lose some of the meaning of the Tariana sentence. (And a complete translation, losing no meaning whatsoever, would end up so verbose as to be almost useless.)
That is what has occurred in Uruguay and Egypt. If that grants universal access to the people, then it is a solution. The problem with that model, though, is that governments are then double-paying in many cases. First by paying for the research that birthed the paper and then by paying for access to the paper that resulted from the research the government paid for.
I agree. As long as you quit before you launch or sell something. One of the best ways to start your own business is to learn everything you can under someone else, then go work in that industry.

As an employer myself, I encourage and seek out employees with this mindset. If they are truly entrepreneurial and want to own something, that's good for me if they apply that mindset to my company (and are remunerated accordingly, of course.)

What I meant (and what the Amazon issue is about), is that it's not ethical to start announcing or selling a competing product while you work there. In the case of software, it's seriously uncool to develop competing software in your "off time" and then come out of the gate with it.
A PIP doesn't have targets the employee doesn't know about - not formally, anyways. The targets are the same whether you're on a PIP or not: meeting expectations for your level. At a company like Amazon these are going to be well defined and published. The manager would have also more than likely, if acting in good faith, found you a mentor by this point. If they weren't acting in good faith, then it doesn't matter whether you know about your PIP or not, meet your expectations or not, you're cooked.

But yes, I agree, you should pull the ripcord as soon as you get a good sense of what's going on.
It's that the handset profile which allows two way audio but only with crappy phone style codecs is different from the audio profile that only has one direction for an audio stream but has decent audio quality.
What are downsides?
I think it's the alcohol :)
You've missed the point. A company seeing what another is doing, and copying their idea and implementing it isn't cargo culting.

The key feature of cargo-culting is immitating another without understanding the why behind what they're doing.

Imitating is simply imitating. Many companies have gotten rich doing this.
By granting an app a permission, it can then do that thing. There's no intent detection possible. Any app with full filesystem access could wipe your C drive. A new Bluetooth API and access model needs to be devised to fix the information leakage present in scanning and beacons -- how can we prevent fixed-position radio beacons from being picked up by people scanning for new gadgets?
There are modern, “hyper heat” models that can heat at 90% of rated output down to -13°F.

That might still not be enough if the local 1% design temp is +5°F and, as a result, your unit is sized to maintain temp at +5°F, so doesn’t keep up for the 88-ish hours per year that your temps are below the design temp.
> The truly surprising behavior to me is choosing to name the forked project nsm.

I think the point was having the binary be of the same name, so it could work as a drop-in replacement that is compatible with existing software.
Re. the darker possibility becomes the bias, since the organization (maybe due to its size), with its focus on success, has a low tolerance for an employee who is struggling.
Agreed. The description on the site itself is also quite different from the description in the comment or title here. Asking people to sign up to even look at the app, let alone try it out, is basically telling us "go away". I think you should have a demo of the editor with a basic example in it right on the home page. The home page also needs demos of the output embedded or linked.
Yes, programming producing products that have zero marginal cost gives us a glimpse of what the future may look like - either the open source volunteer future, or the neofeudal artificially locked down future.
Yes, if this has said 'Linux Audio Consortium' it would have been a lot clearer. The described behavior sounds appalling, but the author is also not doing himself any favors in how he explains it.

I have never heard of NON before and beginning the story in media res while omitting any details of what the 3 antagonists asked him to do with his project makes the whole thing confusing. Until he got to talking about the LAD mailing list, which I am somewhat familiar with, I thought it was some sort of scam post.
This isn't a stretch, this is actually what anticheat software does. The valorant one also uploads driver listings and driver contents!
You’re right.

I think there’s a surprisingly large number of white collar workers who accept that their work is the whims of the next person up the org chart. A sure fire way to create an organization full of lost souls and suck-ups.
While I did specify theaters sort of like I expected a whole theater complex to be devoted to it, the more common example (at least around me) is for theaters to devote a portion of some theaters (as in "screens", the "theater" terminology is long past the point of being savable as referring to one distinct thing) to running specialty programs. For example, a weekly horror series where a couple showings a couple nights a week are Hellraiser this week, and Nightmare on Elm Street next week, and there's posters on the wall advertising the schedule and there have been fliers out for months outlining the schedule.

Theaters do that not just because they have arrangements with local governments, but because it's profitable. The way the theater industry works (or at least did when I worked in it at the entry level twenty years ago and had it explained to me) is that new releases have about 80% or more of their ticket sale cost go to the distributor/producer, and the rest the theater, and that percentage goes farther in the theater's favor every week after release (making movies that draw crowds for a long time much more lucrative). That's why concession purchases are so expensive, it's where they make a lion's share of the profit.

Older movies are likely much less costly to get and run, and could also possibly be offered to patrons for cheaper admittance. Concessions, of course, cost as they always do, and they still make that money. I suspect in a lot of cases, theaters might turn a better profit offering tickets at half price for older movies, making more money per ticket and for concession sales for each admittance, as long as they can fill the seats.

Things like that are what appeared to be going on in my area prior to the pandemic, where they would do a cult film series and have the 7 PM and 9 PM showings on Thursdays devoted to the cult film of the week (not sure if they ran one or two screens for it, possibly depended on attendance and how good the other movies where doing on the 14 screens it has).
I would worry about a scenario where I grab the shorthash at some point in time, and it later becoming ambiguous.
Is it true that if i buy and install drm free games, like those from that european distributor (GOG?) then i have nothing to worry about right?
What I don't get is that why the H/W companies don't just solve this by including a 2nd Bluetooth chip. Give up on running duplex, run high quality audio out to the headphones, and the mic as a separate device using whatever is best there.
Do you have privacy when you sit in the exam hall?
It sounds like the main argument you're making is that having a record wouldn't catch every single edge case. But maybe that's okay? If you get 90% of the value of preserving the language and you miss the 10%, it's probably still worth doing vs. trying to artificially keep a language alive.

If you read about this language, it emerged from Old Norse. Do you think there was some kind of "Preserve Old Norse" movement?

I just don't see how an effort like this could possibly succeed. If you make kids learn it, the chances of them retaining fluency in it are pretty low I'd think? They'd have to be using it a lot. And I think most people would probably rather their kids learn English as a second language.

I guess a solution would be to teach the kids English and Elfdalian instead of English and Swedish, and then when they need to talk to people from other regions they just use English as the lingua franca.

Why do people go to the cinema at all? Because the experience isn't the same. The screen is way bigger, the sounds often better.
It's never wrong to leave if you disagree with the company's direction. We would have far less evil companies if more people did this!

There's a great real world example in the HP 9110A, the world's first desktop computer. The inventor worked for Smith Corona Marchant and the machine he proposed was way ahead of what they wanted to do, so he quit. He shopped it out and HP hired him as a consultant to build it (he never wanted to be anyone's employee anymore, which is the crux of my entire argument here), but HP did have to pay a license fee to SCM to make sure they had the rights to the machine because it was developed while he worked there.

Of course, since no one ever heard of SCM and HP is a household word, clearly quitting and doing your own thing was the right decision!

I'm not seeing any insults in there, just a detailed explanation from Jonathan for why he didn't want to merge it. I don't understand the full technical details, but it's clear he gave it a lot of thought and there was a difference in project philosophy.
It's the only reason I've used a VPN occasionally. Watching the soccer world cup etc. Unfortunately, streaming sites seem to have figured out how to detect VPNs so it was no longer useful when I wanted to watch The Great British Bake-Off in 2020.

Well the problem is that science makes predictions, and that is all.

If we want to talk scientifically about consciousness then we need to be able to make predictions about it and test those... then refine our ideas.

Up until that point its metaphysics or religion. Do I agree that rabbits are probably somewhat conscious? Yes. Do I know what that MEANS? No.
Really depends on the hardware. My XPS 17 didn’t have fully functional sound (speakers, mic, headset) until kernel 5.11. And even then, if I restart, I lose everything except speakers. The solution is to shutdown and then boot up.

An older latitude works perfectly.

Since there is no technical definition (not to speak of a measure of degree) of consciousness, we could assume that it is very likely, statistically. All life forms have undergone the same amount of evolution, after all.
And even if we are wrong, this assumption would do this world great good.
Right. It seems unethical as well as misrepresented. Anyone good enough to actually do this must be charging $500-1000 or something per interview.

So if it’s only $50/hour or something then the customers probably aren’t getting a good value of grassroots promotion either.
The problem is like any other modern business. The business consolidated and scaled up to the point that it can only survive with big blockbuster movies. They need to grow and operate at scale to survive.

How do you sustain 20 theatres in a super expensive mall that charges insane rents while sending 75% of the gross back to the studio? It’s not going to happen without big movies that appeal to a broad audience that is compatible with mall foot traffic.
Yes, thanks. I realized something wasn’t right but just glossed over it. I clearly need to get some sleep.
The nature of what different people consider insulting seems to vary greatly. I'd like to judge these supposed insults for myself. Have they been archived?
Please continue reading the articles past their headlines. Some more context, this has been an elections issue in Iraq since 2014, people who blame irresponsible chain of command (Everyone besides the Maliki faction) and people who blame sectarianism and scapegoat others (Maliki and his friends)

For those who dont want to read more into the articles, this is a good summary
"Decades of free-flowing arms into Iraq meant that when IS took control of these areas, they were like children in a sweetshop."

Well the topic is car A/C and indeed if the outside temperature is 45C (113F), and the air conditioner only produces a difference of 20C, and your target is 22C then you’ll fall short of that by a few degrees.

Also with car A/C (or indoor spaces which take in a lot of direct sunlight), hotter days tend to be the result of greater insolation. If direct sunlight is hitting your skin on a clear summer day it has a significant warming effect which you would want to offset with more ambient or active cooling.
M bad, the only takes I could think of when reading the comment where the ones I usually hear in the echo chamber im in.

Some sort of hardware limitation preventing two protocols(profiles) going through CODEC or something. “Back/return channel” features are emerging to encapsulate profile over profile so it might change in the future
Many characters "require" at least 5 pixels in both axes unless you take some creative liberties: W and E are the obvious ones.
The logo should be 4 words (one of them being Linux), and the other 3 whatever you think Linux is best at.
I don’t think DEC had much choice other than to kill the PDP-10 at that point. It was obvious that the non-legacy software world wasn’t a 36-bit one and never would be again. It was obvious it was taking increasingly incompatible hacks to extend the base 18-bit memory addressing (various combinations of magic segments). And while some may disagree, it wasn’t easy to make that architecture fast, hence the long standing performance plateau (the version codeveloped w VAX8600 never fully worked and XKL is only a proof of a faster system in much later technology but still much slower than other current CPUs). Nostalgia takes no prisoners.
Personal issues are at least as important as technical issues in large software projects.
You will find that in professional work for a salary, they are not paying you for hours but for many aspects of the relationship they have with you. One of them is what you do while you're there. Another aspect is what you do while you're not. You'd be hard pressed to find any big software company that did not have rules about your "off time" in the contract, and working on competing products is definitely one of them.

This is, yet again, the reason that people should really try to get away from big companies. If you don't like how big companies don't work, folks shouldn't say, "Aw, I don't like how companies work!," they should get together with other like minded people and make a company.

Of course, they will quickly find that, regardless of that company's size, they will want the same kind of rules for their employees! It will not be a hippie commune and, if it is, it won't be in business long.

Say you do quit and start a software company with two buddies. Six months in, one of them decides to start working on a different product that you didn't want to do. He's still "doing his job," of course. Would you be ok with that? No, you would have a heart attack. Because you need that person 110% on for you and only for you.

This is the reality of business. If you operate a company where everyone isn't "on for you" all the time, you get low efficiency. This is exactly the reason that FAANG companies pay so much. This is the golden yoke. If you accept the big salary from the mother ship (which you didn't build), then you accept the golden yoke and you help keeping them build their empire. Or you quit and wash, rinse, repeat!
Agreed +1.

It doesn’t seem like Google wants to win. They’ve been distant #3/4 for 10 years.

If google wanted to win, I’d expect them to be more competitive.

I don’t really use GCP much but it seems like a hobby product line.

For example, they only have $4B revenue last quarter with almost $1B of losses (9% of Google’s revenue) [0],
Compared to AWS’ $13.5B (12% of Amazon revenue) and Azure’s $15B (not sure what percent as this number includes lots of things that I don’t really consider cloud).

Mint doesn't have them either.
Assuming this is the main cost, at $5,000/ton it's not so far from existing extraction methods:

> Most of the world’s lithium comes from brine deposits in South America, although companies like Talison also operate hard rock mines in Australia. The cost of extracting a ton from a brine site costs around $2,000 says Paes-Braga while mined ton of lithium costs closer to $4,000. (These are operational costs that do not include capital.)

Of course for those the main expense isn't electricity but labor, etc.

Thank you. I was trying Medium for the first time to see if it got any more traction over our own page.
Despite the fact I share your tastes I think things have simply changed. In the 80s I had a choice of theatres to go see funky underground and classic movies. I remember one place played Rocky Horror, Liquid Sky and Heavy Metal every weekend for years. I saw Rocky Horror in three different Houston theatres and sincerely regret not seeing it in at least one or two more, which tells you how many places we had playing non-mainstream movies.

The River Oaks Theatre played so many different movies they had to publish a monthly calendar because it was often a new movie every night. In fact they had a bar in the same parking lot (Marfreless) that was movie nerd hangout downstairs and make out spot upstairs.

Fast forward to today and most of those theatres are gone. The nameless theatre in a strip mall on Gessner is gone as is the Landmark Greenway, The Alabama Theatre was turned into a Bookstop and is now a Trader Joe's. The Bellaire Theatre was squeezed to death by Whole Foods dominating their parking lot. Even a recent entrant with Angelika downtown which became the Sundance theatre ended up flipping to an AMC. The one to last the longest, River Oaks Theatre was shuttered after Covid 19 put them a year behind on rent and their landlord refused to renew the lease without an agreement to pay the back rent.

River Oaks had already sold to Landmark just to survive and Landmark let the lease lapse which tells you all you need to know about the margins they were operating under. It just isn't profitable enough to sustain a theatre any more. Marfreless is still alive and well.

People have a surplus of choices and immediate, online gratification available 24/7. No need to plan with friends, arrange a baby sitter or slog through traffic to sit in a theatre. Although I agree that many movies are undoubtedly best viewed on a big screen with a good soundsystem, it appears we're in the minority and there just aren't enough of us to keep places profitable.
