But they don't need to break the encryption because iMessage and WhatsApp are closed platforms without support for third party clients, so Apple and Facebook can just create a list of "undesirable" keywords and push it to the client (automatically, without any way for the user to opt-out) that would mark such messages or completely delete them.
There's different types of regulation to consider.. There's spectrum licensing, radio user licensing, and product certification.

2.4 GHz is considered an ISM band meaning it's license free meaning you do not have to purchase a license from the government to use that physical chunk of spectrum. There are certain chunks of spectrum (frequencies) that are auctioned off by the government. This gets you exclusive usage to that band, across a country or in certain parts. The government will (is supposed to) enforce the spectrum so unlicensed users aren't clogging things up. You may not need a spectrum license for ISM band usage, but you still need to be using certified products.

Next you have user licensing like HAM radio operators. Amateurs are legally required to have licenses to operate the radios. I'm not sure whether a HAM radio license also includes a fee for spectrum.

Last (but I'm sure there's probably more regs), you have the certifications for the product itself. If you're in the US, this means doing FCC testing and getting an ID for your product. Each country typically has their own regulatory body. A certified product means your OK on duty cycle, TX power, etc. There's other tests as well especially if you're dealing with wearables but that's a different story.

Because if you drop out of the work force, you get a different perspective. There's painting and music and they are a good contrast to your work, a good way to spend time not thinking about work.

But if there is only painting and music and cooking, it becomes kinda pointless, especially if most people you know don't have time during the day. You're doing this all alone.
Correct, they should remove the word "fundamentally" and then the argument probably holds. Because from what I read those training sets were quite often imbalanced.

Let's put it another way.

Suppose you've got a gearbox, with a shaft in it, and a stack of parts on the shaft. The shaft with its parts must fit in the gearbox. The gearbox has a max and min size, and each part has a max and min size. The engineer divides up the tolerances so that if they are all at max size, and the gearbox housing is at min size, the parts will fit.

Now, if a gear comes back from the manufacturer larger than its max size, but enough of the other parts are not near their max size, the stack will still fit and it's ok. (But engineering still has to approve the fit.)

This is not in any way a crisis. It simply costs extra money because the out-of-spec part gets bounced to engineering for review.

Yes, I did these exact calculations on the 757 stab trim gearbox.

Self-improvement: social media review
Jeff Bezos’ Dystopian Legacy Goes Far Beyond Amazon
I recently bought my first Android device and found Google Play infested with apps that want my location, access to network, list all my apps AND send adverts.

Google is assisting them by adding extra steps to find out what permissions app requests. Also, it appears, that Android is opting you in, unless permissions are configured before starting the app. Because of that, there are apps with sole purpose of tricking you into installing it so it can get your data.

I found that many Android apps, that are also available on IOS, insist on location data and refuse to run, whereas they run fine w/o it enabled on IOS.
> Also PLoS one is basically not peer reviewed - they accept every paper after a short review.

That is absolutely not true, PLOS ONE has proper peer-review, their review guidelines just focus on technical soundness and de-emphasize subjective noteworthiness.

(As a personal anecdote, I managed to get one of my papers rejected from PLOS ONE once...)
Considering the inclusion of Pandas in the book, I doubt manager types and econ guys are the target group. IMO, engineers would be the ones interested in applying Python to Excel work (because they realize how ridiculous VBScript is), and they are pretty likely to have install permissions on their machine.

I wrote my own for this, specific for my $DAYJOB application.

It primarily focused on configuration tables, and optionally a slice of the main data tables.

The tricky parts were:

1. Write code to write out DDL. This is easier than it sounds because not every DDL feature is actually used by the application.

2. Write code to dump out DML. Again easier than it sounds because not every datatype is used by the application. The tricky parts where automatic identity columns and large binary table.

3. The code from #1 and #2 has to be done in topological order (least dependent scheme objects to most dependent). After the DDL is write, write the DML.

4. A bit fancy streaming to ensure the webserver doesn't build everything up in memory before zip filing it and beaming it down the wire.

5. Some care needs to be taken for confidential information. User passwords (even bcrypted/scrypted) shouldn't come along. Nor should thinks like outgoing email server settings. Or incoming email server settings. I'm lucky as no PII or credit card details exist in $DAYJOB application.

If done carefully the code should be insensitive to simple schema changes (new fields, new configuration tables).

The goal behind it all is to produce a single (big) .SQL file that will recreate a working database.

So worth the time and effort to create.

>The Japanese were fanatical and vowed to fight to the very end.

That's the official pretext / party line of the US, to self-justify the nuclear bombings (as if they ever could be justified).

The reality is the Japanese were dead scared (also of the incoming Soviets) and were looking to surrender. They just didn't want an unconditional surrender, but to save some face/dignity.

That can't be emphasized enough. I've seen my fair share of situations where people get saddled with responsibility and no corresponding control. When that happens, they end up being other people's clean-up crew with no time for much else.

That's because Wehrmacht soldiers and their pals have warred on USSR, and took millions of lives and caused untold suffering there.

So, angry retribution against Wehrmacht soldier scum was to be expected...

My understanding is that it's not about airflow, but about unplanned for localized stresses rather than having them distributed evenly. This means the joint does not meet limit load requirements. While it's not so bad it could immediately structurally fail under expected loads, over time the stress concentration could weaken the structure at those points, leading to premature failure or more likely, significantly shorter service life than expected.
I've been using Planck for about a year now. F1 is combination of two keys: lower(special modifier key left to the space) and a. I usually have no problem with this, and kinda prefer this now as my fingers don't have to move away from the homerow.

> how long does it take for you to be comfortable with them?

Not so long for typing out letters if your fingers are disciplined to stick to each column. e.g. it didn't take me long to switch my Dvorak skills to use it.

Getting comfortable with typing symbols took more time, since there's more flexibility about where you put the symbols on the keyboard.

> Is there any type of work that is NOT suitable on these keyboards?

I'd say the reduced-size layouts don't lose much when you can keep both hands on the keyboard. (e.g. using Emacs or Vim in a terminal).

e.g. they're especially difficult to use for FPS games; or for (say) Blender or using KiCad where moving your hand all-over the keyboard. (It's possible to an extent to customise the layout to work with various use-cases, though).

> Price

ZSA's keyboards come with warranty, etc.

I got a BM40 (sold on AliExpress) for about $100. Expensive, but high quality.

There are ways to assemble niche keyboards for a lower budget, but it won't be as nice a quality.
I think the reasons for using plane geometry are pedagogical. Also formulating mathematically real life objects is a nice skill to have. I would never teach mathematics axiomatically, it's extremely dull and I usually find the axioms as an approximation to the real thing and not the source of truth.

How We Started Our Design Startup? 12k Ready UI Resources
As others have mentioned (only partially though, hence this summary), there are several ways (with varying trade-offs) to achieve this.

Multi-stage programming languages have, well, multiple stages of compilation and you can manipulate types as a first-class value in higher stages. This is a natural extension to the type-level evaluation, as the only thing changes is that the type-level evaluation uses the same fragment of language as the value-level evaluation. Of course we would then have a type of types, a type of types of types and so on; some languages do not distinguish them and a single meta-type is used as catch-all. This model is powerful but you wouldn't get stronger guarantees for lower stages; in particular this model is not a substitute for generic types which typically guarantee that every instance of a generic type is instantiable.

(By the way it is a common misconception that being able to use something like `function f<T>() { return T.size; }` is a first-class type; the type parameter T and the lowered value T is a different thing in different stages.)

Dependently typed languages extend the type system itself to handle mixed types and values. This can be much more huge undertaking than multi-staged programming and harder to reconcile with the type inference and other goodies typically available for strong (enough) type systems, but correctly done they can provide a very strong guarantee that was only possible with static analyses to the limited extent. Note that dependent typing is historically associated with proof assistants but still possible without them; its usefulness and usability would be limited though. (You might have guessed but this is why I don't think dependent typing at the current stage is not the future.)

Conventional metaprogramming methods like macros or code generation are huge wrenches always available for throwing. (Multi-stage programming is also a kind of metaprogramming, but not included in the colloquial "metaprogramming".) They would be significantly limited in scope and/or inconvenient to use, but depending on the scope they might be still appropriate.
I sometimes see headlines like this, saying that a given type system is Turing complete but I've never seen the end result of such a statement.

Are there any examples of programs compiled and runnable strictly in the type system of another language?
CyberCHEF is another great tool coming from a “spying” agency. I dont see how GCHQ could really benefit from it as there is even a local version for those who would want to keep their data from going over the wire.

This is the real problem. Any ergonomic solution is treating the symptoms rather than the cause.
First, you're a really good writer, and no one can take that away from you.

The big picture is this - we are nearing the end of this society, and thus (in general) bad people succeed and good people fail. (I personally am doing OK if not stellar, this isn't sour grapes.)

You seem like a thoughtful, compassionate guy so it's no wonder that you aren't doing well.

My suggestion is artistic detachment. Treat life more like a surrealistic comedy and less like a game with live ammunition - it has aspects of both, of course. If you think of life as a dramatic presentation for your entertainment, even the bad parts will be more entertaining.

Turn on a "professional personality" at work which has nothing to do with who YOU are and then learn to turn it off after work.

Find something unrelated to... all this... to keep you entertained - something small and cheap and fun. In the past I've studied magic tricks and origami - right now my wife is doing watercolors and I'm reading 50 year old SF books.

I think similarly, but not quite: "we didn't care to stop it on our own turf, we care even less to stop it on someone else's." Because that would involve even harder decisions to be made, like trade war, and uppsetting friendly neighbours who are not as keen on trade war. Don't rock the boat, basically.
It’s still exactly 3, assuming you’re defining it by π´ = c/2r and c = [count of number of hexes that require exactly r hex-boundary crossings to be reached from the starting cell]

6 cells at a distance of 1 hex, 12 at a distance of 2, 18 at a distance of 3, and the underlying growth pattern requires adding 6 on every discrete ring.
The mechanism is also interesting. It uses a worm drive which, I imagine, would to lock the steering angle in place, and offer precise steering (at the cost of fast steering like you say).
