Look into digital signage displays. They're just big dumb monitors, but tend to be cheaper than similarly-sized displays that are marketed as monitors.

Just glancing at Amazon, I see a 65-inch 4k digital signage display for under $1200 USD.
I wonder if institutionalized corruption in the Chinese military is the same, worse or better. If they are not paying $600 to replace 20 cent bolts, we are heading towards a massive shift in military power, because their military spending has surged since 2016 and they are now spending almost as much on defense as the US.
In the UK many mobile networks block sites by default unless you go through age verification.

Huh? This technology (using electromyography to detect hand/arm movements) has been around for at least 6 years (https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/myo-gesture-control-armband) but has not become a "community staple". The company producing the armband actually shelved the product because it was so bad and focused their efforts on AR glasses instead.
This study makes 2 assumptions that seem suspect to me:

1. It's unaffordable to spend more than 30% of your income on rent + utilities.

Perhaps ironically I think this rule is the least true in areas with highly priced housing markets- if you're paying 40% of your post-tax income on housing, that leaves a ton of room to spend money on other things. I realize this isn't necessary true for people making minimum wage, but I wish they did a more analysis that for that. Instead they just used the ancient 30% rule of thumb.

2. You can only afford to live somewhere if 40% of the 2 bedroom homes are within your budget

I'm definitely not an economist or housing expert, but it seems unintuitive to me that we'd ever reach an equilibrum where the lowest earners can afford to the majority of homes. If everyone can afford most housing, wouldn't landlords just raise prices on luxury or above-average properties until only people who make more than average can afford them? Two-income households also have an inherent advantage if there's any sort of bidding war.

We’ll never know for sure, but this seems like revisionist history and motivated reasoning. Gore and his advisors supported regime change in Iraq when he was in office and intelligence failures didn’t suddenly start in early 2001, nor were they restricted to the United States.[0]

It’s possible that the tone around climate change would have been different under a Gore administration, but the entire composition of Congress would also have looked different after the mid-terms in response to a Democratic president making sweeping changes to the economy (as it was republicans already controlled the Senate for half of Bush’s time in office, and the house for three quarters). The fiscal conservatism of 90s republicans may have stayed intact instead of accepting large deficits as they did under Bush.

The feature and bug of the US system of democracy is that radical change is hard to do and disagreements can’t be steamrolled over. Sometimes the right person can have an enormous effect on the course of history (Washington, Lincoln, FDR), but it’s unlikely Gore was one of those people.

Agreed. Hyperion Knight playing Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (Bach)[0] is also a really good demonstration of the incredible clarity of the bass keys. It's really astonishing to hear. In fact I feel some of the concert pianists playing it are a little sloppy on the low notes—probably because they're not used to being judged on them! My old Wurlitzer upright could never compare :)

It's worth noting that this construction relies on the axiom of choice, so exists in ZFC but not ZF. Generally a lot of counter-intuitive constructions disappear when eliminating the axiom of choice (such as the Banach–Tarski paradox and non-continuous functions).
> Asking his team to build a sub is inexcusable

Is that what actually happened? Version I heard is that his engineers came up with the sub idea themselves, the idea didn't actually come from Musk. He just told them they could work on this and use corporate resources/funds to do so.

The sub didn't end up being used in the rescue. But, were the rescuers to any significant degree hindered by SpaceX/Boring/Tesla's offer of help? In a scenario like that, it makes sense to explore different solution options in parallel – the fact that some of them end up being culled doesn't mean it was wrong to explore them to begin with. Musk released an email exchange with the (co-)head of the cave rescue diving team [0], in which he asks if he should stop work on the sub and is told to continue with it. A lot of people paint it as if Musk and his team were hanging around the rescue site doing nothing but annoying the rescuers and getting in their way – but you'd think if that was actually true, they would have told him to abandon the submarine project not continue work on it.

> That’s reasonable advice for growth stage companies aiming for huge user bases.

Not really, that's the result of hard-earned lessons that pay off from day 1.

Think about it: you have data in a database, and you put up an API to allow access to it.

Your API needs change, and now you need to make available a resource with/without an extra attribute. You need to provide it as a new API version in parallel with the current API version you're supporting.

What will you do then? Reupdate the whole db with a new migration? Put up two databases? Or are you going to tweak the DTO mapper and be done with it?

"TFA" means WHAT the heck?

I just followed the URL given in this thread and commented on what I saw in LOTS, dozens, of pictures and compared with some of what I know about how the US has solved the problem of gathering and safely storing summer hay for winter animal feed.

In the URLs I followed, nearly all the houses I saw were what in the US are called log cabins and had old logs and no paint.

I didn't see any "mud bricks".

From what I saw, there was no sign of electric power. Thus there would be no "land line" telephones either; from that I concluded no "telephones" -- I didn't think of the old satellite phones, cell phones, or the new versions of phone and internet via constellations of satellites.

Maybe everything I saw was just for tourists. Okay. I saw a LOT of pictures; maybe they all were for show.

In that case, John Deere should open some branch offices (if they haven't already) and sell some of their terrific, highly computer controlled, automated farm equipment, in particular for converting hay fields into bails of hay. Or for planting, growing, and harvesting wheat, corn, or soy beans.

But John Deere can change the culture of a farming community: Their equipment can be highly productive but also highly expensive. The pair can mean that a father and his two sons can run a farm of 5000+ acres. E.g., my father in law's farm was just 88 acres. He raised a family on that (40,000 chickens per batch) and got all three of his children through college. And as electric power came along, he led in the effort and became the head of the local electric utility and lobbied in Washington, DC for the relevant legislation (REMC -- rural electric membership cooperative). He did well: One of his daughters was Valedictorian in high school and Phi Beta Kappa, Summa Cum Laude, Woodrow Wilson Fellow, NSF Fellow in college, and high end research university Ph.D. One of his grand daughters was Valedictorian in high school, Phi Beta Kappa in college, got her law degree at Harvard, started as a lawyer at the high end New York City law firm Cravath-Swaine, got an MD, and now is practicing medicine.

But the 88 acres doesn't work very well now; what he did was tough; it would tougher now. Due to progress in productivity such as from John-Deere, there has been massive consolidation of those little farms into farms of a few thousand acres operated by remarkably few people, for growing wheat, corn, soy beans, or grazing cattle for milk or meat.

So, maybe Romania is doing the same, the hay stacks put together by hand with wooden tools are just for the tourists, and John Deere is getting a lot of business. Good for Romania.
> Once the transition is complete and previous APK-based packages are fully deprecated, it’s easy to see a future Android release that no longer supports APK at all. At that point Android and Google Play will have caught up with iOS and the App Store in its ability to control what software users can install.

I don't follow this argument and it seems to get some facts wrong. There is no sign that APKs are going to lose android support, AABs will be used to create dynamic smaller APKs that are customized to your device.

The closest this comes is if Google stops updating tools to build your own APKs, which would seem to have a huge negative impact on the development and testing cycle...

Google already could implement APK signing requirements to break the ability for non-rooted devices to install APKs not co-signed by google, they don't need AABs for that.

There are significant security concerns with AABs regarding giving keys and APK checksum verification...but that's a different topic.

> There is absolutely zero good-faith use of the internet that can result in you getting irreversibly banned by a significant number of domain registrars, therefore this example is completely unrelated to the original quote

How is it unrelated? A noxious branch is exactly something that many or most people would consider abhorrent and perceive as not in good faith.

There will always be some moral veil put forth by censors to justify their actions. A good example is banning discussion on Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID. Some consider that a noxious branch — quackery endangering public health — but if it’s immediately pruned we won’t be able to see if it yields proper fruits.
A device with half the resolution of your phone, not enough storage for a single AAA game, and a maximum of 2 hours battery life. But it's by valve, so hype, apparently.

I just added a new kid to the conversation for best JavaScript template engine
So I finally came out of my shell to release my first open source project: sharender.js. You can find it at https://github.com/seyiade50/sharender.

I have actually been using a less polished version of this guy on my sharember project for over a year now; so it's well tested in real-world use.

It is built purposely by be:

- Tiny (no deps, 3kb minified),
- Supremely fast (no parsing, caching templates as functions etc etc)
- Very simple (it's only js template literals plus a few functions to wrap your head around)
- Highly adaptable (you can use in any environment and with anything else)
- Powerful and complete (auto escaping, control flow, inclusion and inheritance, async and streaming... everything you wanted in a template engine)
- Automatic IDE support (there is no new language; just html and js most of the time)

You can choose to use it with other frameworks and libraries or you can build just about anything on top of it. It can render on the server or client equally powerfully (I use django for my backend but this guy for all my rendering on the frontend)...

Kindly check it out guys. Hopefully it makes your life easier and you can chip in with comments, advice, stars, shares, contributions, anything good.

Cheers...

I don't use social media and aggressively block all ads, but my wife does so I've seen how it works. While scrolling through she sometimes she's clothing or jewellery that matches her style and will engage with them to see what's available and how much it costs. Nevertheless she hardly ever converts.

The ads themselves aren't a problem from what I've seen, rather it is the incessant stream of memes and emotive content that keeps you scrolling through the feed.

The moral value of the employer is mostly irrelevant when discussing the remuneration of the employee.

I'm not working on Obsidian, but I'm also building a desktop app with Electron now and a non-obvious performance tip is to offload things from the main process to a separate child process and use something like node-ipc to communicate.

> If we start taking collapse as inevitable, it will become a self fulfilling prophecy.

This. This is the biggest issue I have with r/collapse and similar crowds. If collapse isn't inevitable, then they aren't helping, and they sure as all heck aren't able to prove that it is inevitable.

This mindset reminds me of certain videos I've seen on YouTube where some people have been proposing just letting society collapse due to global warming and founding an anarchist society in the ashes. Spoiler alert: If everyone thought like this, society in the first world probably would continue, but you'd kill millions upon millions of people in the third world.
I think technology will result in a great outcome for humanity as long as our greed is checked somehow.

Most of the problems today are caused by our greed. I’m no MIT scholar nor as educated as most of you here, but from a anecdotal ground level I have seen it really seems some people at various positions from a office manager all the way to the highest political offices are driven by greed. Their greed usually results in negative outcomes for a lot of people.

I’m not sure how we can solve that.

Good metaphor for the computing hellworld we are living in.
We thought we would hit 'peak oil' in the 1980's but then we learned to drill in deep water.

When we learned to make fuel from Oilsands, the world's reserves tripled.

When we learned to drill sideways, it grew.

When we learned how to make more efficient use of the tapping, it grew.

This notion of 'finite resources' is a very bad constraint. Obviously there are limits but we adapt quickly.

If we decided to use 1980's style Nuclear Reactors - we could power the world for 10 000 years using known reserves. And it would be clean.

Trees? We grow them. Metal? We recycle. Even soil we are starting to figure out sustainably.

There are very few hard limits we're facing on that front.
