It's frustrating seeing the rhetorical tricks people pull - "these regulations exist only hurt/harm the rich!" - when common observation shows that no, they just prevent people from becoming rich. The poor have nothing, the rich have more layers than God, so the middle class gets the shakedown.
This is just the MVP culture we now have where only the very basics are implemented and nothing more. Whereas a computer used to be a power tool to maximise human capability, modern devices are now designed to subvert the user’s desires for the benefit of mega-corp by making users helpless.
Handwritten Chinese Character Recognition with Smartwatch
+1. I found Obsidian a few weeks ago and it really is everything I've been wishing for in a "note taking" app. I put "note taking" in quotes because I've moved all my writing into it, too--it's wonderful to have notes so close at hand while I'm working, and Markdown is the gold standard for exporting to every presentation format I care about. It's the only richly featured writing app I've found that seems to understand how overbearing WYSIWYG editing and proprietary file formats/cloud garbage just get in the way of productivity.

The only shame with the mobile version is that (last I checked) it doesn't have Dropbox support, which makes it more or less useless to me. Hopefully it's on their list.
Next post: how I burned my Casio calculator.

As a non-American, this is the only thing I think of when the prompt is "Big Pharma", and OP's original two points went right past me.
It's not the US. The US threatens to sanction any country doing business with Cuba. It also heavily limits who can do business with Cuba.

The US is a massive economic force basically pushing Cuba to adopt a political model that the US wants.

The calculator's dimensions are: 21.3 x 87.5 x 180.5mm

A 1U rack comes in various depths, let's assume 1m (1000mm), and the width between rails is about 450mm. 1U is around 44mm in height.

So in 1U, you could stack them 2 high, 5 wide, and 5 deep (this leaves a little wiggle room for cables and such), or 50 per 1U, or 2100 in a 42U full rack.
Apple Maps with the upcoming iOS 15 will also be changing their GUI a bit. I don't think apps should be frozen in time, but at the same time, I'm not sure how it can be updated safely given how human psychology works (people will fiddle with their phones while driving).
Self-Hosted Gitlab CICD Pipelines Not Starting
The search on MacOS is unusable for me. It always surfaces wrong/irrelevant things and defaults to searching in the oddest places.
Maybe something changed but last time I used family sharing would allow only one active game per account at a single time. But you can't go offline and keep playing while slightly risking an abuse detection. You can do the same, or at least could, with 'free weekend' games and play as long as you don't go online.
Well, it wasn't.

It's going to take awhile for people to go through all the stages of grief about how ineffective and intrusive many of the state interventions during this pandemic really were.

Judging by the number of young, healthy, vaccinated people I still see outdoors in masks, it's still denial for a lot of them.
This comment is not the way to win that culture war.

Agree that using phones while driving is generally bad, but implying that it is irresponsible to use turn-by-turn (and suggesting the alternative of just knowing where you are) is just more likely to make people ignore the problem all together.
The problem is that the US has a culture of freedom, and most importantly a Bill of Rights that outlaws violations of individual rights to privacy, speech, etc.

Casio is on fire!!
I suppose one could count IRON and TITAN as only one collapse. TITAN was supposed to partially collateralize IRON.

There's also Iron's TITANIUM token, which collapsed as well.

- IRON Titanium Token (TITAN) $0.00000145

- All-Time High $64.19 -100.0% Jun 16, 2021

The whole Iron Finance house of cards collapsed, taking down multiple tokens. Not that you'd know this from their main web site, "https://iron.finance/". The new hype:

Iron Finance relaunch scheduled for Monday, 12 July 2021 at 1PM UTC on Polygon Network
The relaunch will include a new token and IronSwap, the Iron Finance stable swap product.

As most of you are already aware, the Iron Finance team has renounced ownership of the old TITAN token, it is now actively managed by the TitanDAO community initiative. As explained in our previous Medium article, STEEL, TITAN and DND tokens are no longer part of the Iron Finance products and ecosystem.

The new official Iron Finance token to replace the TITAN token will be the ICE token (=“TITANv2”). We were inspired by A Song of Ice and Fire novels, where the Iron Throne is a well-known symbol.

Hi! Author's here.

We submitted multiple appeals, but they were all declines — presumably, by real humans.
I appreciate your feedback on the copy though. I guess, no harm in trying.
bold statement. i wonder why you're so completely convinced?

is it that the author is The Smahtest Guy To Evah Live?

or....i mean, s/he has a long list of Nobel Prizes in Physiology?

or maybe just some long history of unbelievably incredibly insightful comments/writing/literature/research on this or any other topic?

i figure i've read and listened to at least dozens but probably hundreds of articles, books, youtubes, etc. over the past few years, and i'm not convinced i have the answer, but one blog post citing one tribe and you're all in? seems strange to me.

i suspect a plurality of folks would say that there are multiple contributing factors to obesity, something like:

- sugar (in particular, highly processed sugar in all its forms/delivery mechanisms),
- highly processed foods generally (don't send 'full' signals to the brain, lack of fiber, etc.),
- modern lifestyle/quick eating/lack of exercise, cheap sugary/processed/fatty foods, etc.

...but to rule out sugar....bold.
Funny position for a guy running a company doing a lot to restrict freedom of speech.
Sure, maybe, but why should my or my family's life be put at risk until they figure it out?
Yes. What do you think Hitler expected from the 1936 Berlin Olympics? What do you think Xi wanted out of the 2008 Olympics? Why did the East Germans, and other fascist states deliberately engage in ridiculous state supported athlete doping?

Even Beijing today is abusing children in the hopes of national glory. The state puts kids through factory-like conditions to make athletes from a young childhood age, doesn't even give them beyond a 3rd grade education, because everything is maximized on winning for national glory. Franky, state-based olympic camps IMHO are borderline child abuse.

Oh yes, the Olympics are 100% about nationalism and CCP glory for China, and indeed for many other nationalist authoritarian states.

> easily followed by other forms of totalitarianism as exemplified by the USSR, China

China under Xi is fascist. Mass rallies under a glorified leader for life. Calls to return to a mythic past of nationhood under national rejuvenation. What's the difference between Nuremberg rallies, and the mass rallies the CCP runs? The near constant glorification of the CCP and Xi, the huge number of young people in the party and at the rallies (almost 100 million people in the CCP Youth League).

Let's look at some of the defining characteristics of Fascism:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism.
2. Disregard for Human Rights.
3.Controlled Mass Media.
4. Obsession with National Security.

#4 is especially good example of how China is using national security to crush Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and internal dissent, by claiming pretty much any thing they don't like is a national security issue. Thus, an 80 year old women with a protest sign on the street is arrested in Hong Kong for "national security" reasons.

China under Deng might not have been Fascist, but under Xi, it's definitely trending that way.

Your body adjusting itself to burn less energy is also physics.

It's like having a thermostat that adjust the temperature to 70 degrees, and you want it to be 75. So your solution is to bring in more heat while ignoring the thermostat. The thermostat adjust by engaging the air conditioner. Which certainly will work, but also very inefficient.

Your body isn't that stupid and it's not certainly a dumb engine.
Of course, neither I nor my (late, so I can't ask him) Dad knows what Turing's motivations were.

Yes! That’s the episode. To hear two people realise they’ve been effectively having two different conversations with each other about the same topic without realising it is a special kind of amazing.

There is a much stronger argument for tactless communication.

In tactless mode there is little space for manipulation, misrepresentation, and other kinds of bullshit.

In tactless mode coercion cannot be sugarcoated, becomes overt, imposing a much higher social cost on the one attempting it.

All in all, tactless communication is much more efficient and clear, this is why it is used, e.g., in the military.
Hi! Author's here.

Hell, it's AN INNOVATION I came up with — or at least so I thought I thought most people would be able to see this name instantly BECAUSE of the brackets, lol.

Thanks for your sympathy, I appreciate it.
I am sorry, I don't agree with your interpretation.

My interpretation is aligned with this: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sdi/7.2.0.2?topic=reference-rest...

"...but creates no load and consumes no per-client storage on the set of servers or on the network"

So no, per-client session state would be against the principles of REST in my view.
I’m mistaken. The best I could find in support of my claim was this in Wikipedia:

The Helms-Burton Act has been the target of criticism from Canadian and European governments in particular, who object to what they say is the extraterritorial pretensions of a piece of legislation aimed at punishing non-U.S. corporations and non-U.S. investors who have economic interests in Cuba. In the House of Commons of Canada, Helms-Burton was mocked by the introduction of the Godfrey-Milliken Bill, which called for the return of property of United Empire Loyalists seized by the American government as a result of the American Revolution (the bill never became law).

I don’t know the exact mechanism but I believe our sanctions cause more than just a pain for American companies doing business with Cuba.
> it's been long acknowledged that "accident" is a problematic word to describe vehicle crashes because it minimizes the agency of a driver and intentional decision making processes that lead up to a crash

I seem to recall that this was intentional, to improve acceptance of motor vehicles in the early days.

Certainly the way laws are written, there is quite a high bar before an "accident" brings the kinds of criminal charges that any other reason for a similar action would trigger. For example, if you kill someone through inattention, that is often charged as involuntary manslaughter, unless you did it with a car and were following traffic laws, in which case it is rarely charged.

As a society we have traditionally come to accept that driving kills lots of people, often but not always at random, and we don't want to be handing out random prison sentences for those with merely bad luck. (Or, at least, without provable blame.)

I suspect there will be backlash, your post is one example.
I disagree, I think it was 95% being a de-facto island and shutting down international travel without aggressive quarantine upon arrival.

Why, you ask? Well I was living in Hawaii during the pandemic, we're Americans, and we had very similar results through the end of June 2020, nearly extirpated the virus in fact.

Unfortunately the US Military couldn't be compelled to follow restrictions, and a huge outbreak in Pearl Harbor escaped containment and ruined all that hard work.
My country wore masks too, did everybody in SK wore N95s or more?
One thing to note is that the bookmark manager the article describes is Chrome's bookmark manager rather than Google Bookmarks, which, remarkably, is still around given Google's penchant for killing products that don't work out. It looks almost the same as when it launched in 2005. The "Gooooogle" links at the bottom, for example, still use the old serif logo.

Oof, that's not even a $700 repair. What's pictured looks more like a $200 repair. The rest is straight profit for Electrified Garage, for having Tesla knowledge at this point in time.

Personally, I would have used a plastic fitting so that if it were to get hit again, the fitting would take the damage instead of the part that has been threaded into.

The driving force being this story seems to be that the owner didn't have road hazard coverage. You've got to wonder how much Tesla is just raking in by defrauding insurance companies who don't yet know any better than to sign off on replacing the whole pack for a simple repair.
Plot twist. We do what you said and eventually destabilize the Moons orbit from mining. It becomes a heated debate on wether it’s going to happen like climate change.

Or we do a reverse Armageddon[1] and mining causes an asteroid to split and hit earth.

the vast majority of folks on the right are like "I'd never do that."

They say that, but they also don't seem to be willing to call it out. When presented with the electoral equivalent of coal rolling, they clicked "yes", enthusiastically.

There appears to be an asymmetry: both parties have their extremes, but one party marginalizes theirs and the other celebrates it.

> It shouldn't matter who owns a patent. If the person or company who registered it has decided to 'cash it in' and sell it to a company whose business is patent licensing is OK. Whether or not the patent is valid is the important issue.

Disagree, fully, 100%. To believe this you have to first buy into the idea that the patent system is a good one and/or that people who are doing none of the actual work should be able to rent-seek the people who actually are. If you aren't using the patent you should not be allowed to force other companies to pay you for it, that's just a stupid system (even if it's the system we currently have). I don't care if it's Apple, Google, Facebook, Oracle, or an indie developer, none of them should have to put up with BS patents like this.
That sounds inconvenient compared to `pio run -t upload` I use now.
There's no stock art from Humaaans and it doesn't look like a generic BigTechCorp website.
Sounds like we're employing the same strategy. I'm not a big fan of AC overall, but OMG the humidity can be stifling. I have my thermostat set to 79F, sometimes I'll even raise it to 80F or 81F. I'm not looking for cool so much as I'm looking for not muggy. There have been days when the humidity is 68% or more but it's only 77F and it gets uncomfortable. Crank the AC down to 76F and it takes care of that humidity. Do you know if they make thermostats that put a priority on reducing humidity rather than just reducing temperature (for AC)? I mean 84F can feel great if it's not humid.
If you need to know, France. I live in Paris, people here are very docile and obey the rules.
There are 65 Million people in the UK, China and the United States are significantly larger both in terms of population. I haven't checked the numbers, but it is not unreasonable to assume that there is a similar amount of iPhones sold per year per capita in the UK as compared to those other two markets.
I use Google maps for navigation between locations and it works great, not sure what your problem with it is, but if you want an alternate Waze works better imo.
I don't want my tax money wasted on that. In most urban areas there's simply no space for separate autonomous vehicles roads. Would rather see that money spent on maintaining existing roads and improving schools.

Exactly. That's why Tesla's approach is bad. There is no rush to let this technology out on the streets before testing it rigorously for flaws. But Tesla promised FSD for all current models with FSD hardware, so they have to move or they will potentially be on the hook for fraud. I call this irresponsible and dangerous.
1) Working out of my bedroom. I think a lot of people forget that some people simply don't have the living space to make a home office or can't go out (accessibility issues) in a way that a proper office allowed. By far the hardest psychological part of Covid to deal with; I have a lot more empathy for prisoners in solitary confinement now. Going out once a month is not what the body/mind was meant to have.

2) Not having the work social circle and chatter. I consider myself an introvert but I still find myself missing the short conversations in the open office and in the hallways that often led to new ideas implemented, quick checkups, social integrity.

3) Not having work equipment. I'm a designer. Been able to work off of the laptop fairly well, but I miss our (specialized) printers deeply.
I'm not a fan of Google, or their UIs, but describing this as a "dark pattern" is ridiculous.

> I believe the argument is the software will improve to eventually be as good or better than humans, and I have a hard time not believing that, not because the software is good but because we are very bad in aggregate.

But logically this doesn't really follow, does it? That because humans are not capable of doing something without errors a machine is necessarily capable of doing it better? Your argument would be more compelling if Tesla Autopilot logged anything like the number of miles in the variety of conditions that human drivers do. Since it doesn't, it seems like saying that the climate of Antarctica is more hospitable than that of British Colombia, because fewer people have died this year of weather-related causes in the former than the latter.
OSM coverage can be very good, but quality varies by location. People have to be interested enough to put in the detail and keep it up to date.

As far as I know, it doesn't do pathfinding either. A client will have to take the data from OSM and use its own algorithms to navigate.

Thank you so much for pointing out fx-115ES PLUS2! I looked for a good hour yesterday trying to find an alternative to the fx-115ES PLUS (first edition) with the same features, after Casio discontinued the original. I'm honestly embarrassed that I had overlooked this...

I do absolutely agree that Casio calculators are just wholly better than TI in general. Their menu driven interface is a game changer for me back in middle school. TI-36X Pro felt cumbersome and confusing, while fx-115ES was much more intuitive.
The article clearly explains all of this. It's more than one tribe.

> We can further cite the fact that many cultures, such as the Hadza of Tanzania, the Mbuti of the Congo, and the Kuna of Panama all eat diets relatively high in sugar (sometimes as high at 80%), and yet none of these cultures have noticeable rates of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.
Humans do way, way, way better than what we've seen in the FSD beta testers' videos (most of whom are huge Tesla fans)
Not sure why this was downvoted. It is my responsibility as a driver to not be distracted. If I am, I just stop at the next possibility - what's stopping me (pun intended)?

I'd rather not be responsible for any accident related to google maps, because ultimately, it'd be my fault, and I'd not feel relieved just because google changed its layout.

This is not about excusing the bad pattern of modernizing UI just for the sake of it, just about not relieving myself out of responsibility.
I do work at a farm and around farms that use regenerative grazing. It works great.

However as a vegan my hope is that we eventually let animals graze and simply do not kill and consume them. One could argue “the meat is there” but that meat is beings with a heart and a mind. When I see the grazing animals with their babies in toe, I think about how they will be separated and the pain the mothers will go through.

We can take great care of our soil with regenerative grazing but that is quite apart from whether or not we need to treat those animals as mere property and eat them.
