Something I have been looking for quite some time. Thank you for this.
As others mention most of the problems seem to be tank is too full or not full enough to complete a heating cycle. Most consumer grade machines would just display that directly or at least list the error code in the manual, the McDonalds machines don't.
Still there should not be just one company who is able to service machines like these. Your company should be able to hire whatever company they see fit to repair such a thing and the manufacturer should be able to provide the information (plans etc) necessary to do so.

If you repair a car you can go to most mechanics, not just to the manufacturer. Everything else is monopolism
Congrats on making a small, useful, working tool! I like the minimalism.

Maybe you should mention on your GitHub page that it is for Windows.

Grifters is probably still on the euphemistic side -- one wonders what happened to those unable to meet "tax" bills. In the early 2010s present day Bedouins in the Sinai were widely reported to supplement their incomes by torturing would-be migrants from Africa to death unless their ransom money demands were met by the families or harvesting and selling their organs.

If I don’t pay my countries taxes, I risk being put into prison. Doesn’t sound that much different tbh.
Ofcourse you are sacrificing performance when you put slower cores alongside fast cores, instead of using all fast cores only. And for what - ARM cpu cores already are very efficient. So saving a few more watts with the slower cores, at the expense of performance (faster cores) isn't a worthwhile tradeoff when you are doing some cpu intensive task on your desktop. Saving a few extra watts matters on phones / tablets / laptops because you can use it longer on battery.
Not about pencils, but those two brands were my favorite when hand drawing PCBs on copper boards. I had used before a dedicated PCB marker (can't recall the name, ink was blue and it had a spare white tip on the back, they didn't last much) which left all sorts of unwanted marks while making nearly impossible drawing thin lines, aside costing like 5x.
One day I brought home some Faber Castell and Staedtler water resistant (this is important!) fine tipped markers and they opened a new world: sub-mm lines, well defined traces and very easy to use without leaving marks, almost like drawing on a piece of cardboard, and they lasted a lot and cost a lot less.
Clean the surface, then draw gently so you give time to the ink to transfer to the surface, then correct if needed using common alcohol on a swab.

I have one of those still working; bought probably in the mid 90s.
Scaled Composites was contracting for Virgin Galactic though. Rutan and Scaled did SpaceShipOne for the X Prize, then Branson contracted them to do SpaceShipTwo for Virgin. Also, i don’t follow what you are saying about the acquisition - Scaled was acquired by Northrop Grumman back in 2007, not Virgin Galactic / Branson.
Some people have suggested that somebody at McDonald's, involved in mandating the use of this particular model, may have benefited from the outcome.
For some strange reason, it seems like the first choice of those cost-saving business owners usually tends to be bad devs and then the irony is that it costs them way more in the end.
That's what I thought when it came out initially, but after the series 4 release, I decided to get one, and I use it many many times a day:

* Apple Pay on the watch is the fastest way to pay on any NFC enabled POS; now works on Caltrain as well.
* Silent haptic alarm, which doesn't wake up your partner
* Passwordless macbook unlock
* Automatic phone unlock when using a facemask
* Overnight HR measurement, if you want to track how overtrained/rested you are
* I use it to open my front door and garage door via siri when coming back from a bike ride or run (I don't need to carry my phone for this). I don't carry keys with me.
* Listen to music/podcast while on a run without my phone.
* Control media without taking out my phone.
* Vectorized maps and gps tracking for running/cycling and uploading to strava (workoutdoors app)
* Strava app
* Interval timers when at the gym
* Easy continuous visibility of air-quality/UV/temp-range/hours-of-sunlight-remaining on my main watch face. Useful information when planning outdoor exercise.
* I occasionally do high altitude climbs, and hikes, so I'm looking forward to upgrading to a newer model with continuous elevation readouts and SpO2 readings.
* Use it to ping my lost phone
* Flashlight when you're in a bind
* Navigation while cycling
* Pick up calls when you're hands are full and you're phone isn't nearby.

Of course, now Saudi Arabia has changed a lot due to oil revenue and, then, construction of cities, especially near the coast of the Persian Gulf.

But in recent years, surprisingly, Saudi Arabia is well into farming! The have borrowed the idea used in dryer parts of the US called center point irrigation. So, from a central pivot, they have a long boom, on wheels, that goes round and round spraying water drawn from the center point.

For the water? There was lots of it in the area some thousands of years ago, and it accumulated in fresh water aquifers now some hundreds of feet down.

In addition, on their west coast, that is, along the Red Sea, there are some mountains and, surprisingly, moisture blows in from the west and generates rain in the mountains. Soooooo, they've been capturing the runoff from that rain and using it for more agriculture.

The higher the price the more valuable the users who pay it are to advertisers. Thus the price needs to be even higher and endlessly up it goes.

Well, the price is higher for an ever-smaller set of users! It’s a demand curve - in principle you can pick a point where cost $C x N users is worth more than the loss of advertising revenue from those users.

Arguably headlines are closer to tweets than comments.

I’d argue the opposite!

As a compromise -- how about links on Twitter are similar to HN headlines?

Just google Ivermectin. There is no shortage of information. No sane honest person can portray that list of side effects as less than those seen with the vaccine. There is no such thing as a "safe" medication, it's always a risk-benefit analysis and dose-dependency.

It is complete insane bullshit to believe those vaccines might somehow exhibit "long term" side effects that have eluded the whole world for more than six months after hundreds of millions of applications. No vaccine has ever done that, not even those who didn't make it through clinical trials.
Nobody says that Ivermectin definitely doesn't work. What's being said is that there isn't sufficient evidence that it does work, and that until such evidence exists, people should stick to proven measures and shouldn't spread unproven claims.

Spreading unproven claims could, for example, cause people to rely on Ivermectin instead of getting vaccinated, which would be an extremely dangerous bet with almost nothing to win and almost everything to lose.

> The root premise of free market (with transparency and regulation) is [...]

I'm not aware of the existence of such a free market, properly regulated, outside of liberal economics textbooks. The claim that free markets are intrinsically efficient is based on unsupportable assumptions about the behaviour of "economic agents" (i.e. individuals).

Incidentally, this notion of a "free market (with transparency and regulation)" appears to be a contradiction in terms. If the market is subject to rules, then in what sense is it free? What kinds of regulation are consistent with the market's freedom? There must be some kinds of regulation that would render a market non-free; for example, rules on who can own a business. Can you regulate press ownership in a free market? Is there such a thing as a person that is "unfit" to be a company director?
Well, to satisfy your impulse to optimize your hardware you can look into undervolting. Getting lower temps/noise/running cost. In case of the AMD RX (4|5)(7|8)0 even higher performance, since they can hold their boost because they don't hit their thermal threshhold. For laptops it prolongs battery life.
Are you planning to make use of this flexibility to create something good?
>only force you into viewing a subscription offer

Nothing only about it, considering any offer is like requesting a quote for my time. It's a task I must assess. I never feel bad about using adblocker or coupons to excess because gaining the opportunity to form my habits is something I charge for.

In this case I am thinking about entering the display advertising business and declaring their overlay ads as anti-competitive computer hacking and vandalism on my equipment.
Hi dang. Is there a way to delete my 2 comments in this page?
You are being downvoted, but the core idea isn't entirely wrong, it is only too crude and needs some further analysis. (E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn_suicides)

To actually start blaming the employers with some level of plausibility, I think you would have to show that rate of small aircraft accidents for their employees is significantly higher than average for similar unaffiliated group of youngish men who like to fly small aircraft.

There is some background nonzero level of death in flying small aircraft (or suicide, alcoholism or other common ills). Unless it can be shown that the levels of such ills among employees of some Acme.com is significantly higher than background noise, it is not fair to assign blame to Acme.com.

Even then there can be confounding factors, but that is a different story.
Thanks, sounds interesting, I'll check it out.

Your probably write about avoiding the on stop shop.
I think parent is commenting here that the CDC is talking about self-reported data. We're not talking about a diagnosis from a doctor. Calling them "confirmed" is just as disingenuous, if I'm understanding the explanations in the slides you link.

Although I am not familiar with emqx, from their web page I can see they have a more "enterprise" solution and integrations with Oracle, Timeseries database, Apache Kafka.
With QoS 0 they say that message throughput is around 200,000/s while on QoS 1 it's around 100,000/s.
If broadcasting, they manage to get around 900,000/s.
They've got a ton of features and I'd say probably a better, but paid solution compared to some other brokers.
For those who rather listen. The podcast 'The Sporkful' has an episode called 'Hacking McDonald's Broken Ice Cream Machines'

(And I just noticed when looking up the link, they also have video)

https://www.sporkful.com/hacking-mcdonalds-broken-ice-cream-...

And if you both don't want to watch video, nor listen to the podcast episode, the page has a full transcript of the episode.

I found it to be a pretty interesting story.
Neat setup there, using SQS to ease up to not hit SES limits.

If one wants to go further than just one-off emails, listmonk by Zerodha, a fintech company that builds most of its tech in-house, is pretty decent for an email-list manager. It one-click deploys to Heroku and the only dependency is Postgres. It could use SES as its SMTP server.

It's interesting as on HN frontpage today there is also a book about a VC explaining that we are switching in a new post material scarcity era and that the economy is transforming into one where only attention is scarce.

It's really on point as it's clear from many papers and years on research on piracy that mostly people that downloaded pirated content would not have bought it but might still buy derivatives (and do in average). So generally piracy is a net positive for copyright holder.

Nevertheless, this group members were chased and prosecuted around the world as their crime is that they unfairly competed for people's attention which is transforming into our world currency.
What happened to their helm chart? :D

How To StartA blog And Make Money In 2021
It is extremely annoying to me. Microsoft goes a similar way for authentication against a lot of their APIs. I dropped some of them because the maintenance isn't worth the benefit anymore.

I also don't want to register apps at them and don't want to wait until they acknowledge access. The market is too competitive for that.

An overall it doesn't really add security to my threat model. A complicated authentication isn't necessarily a secure authentication. Given, passwords have to be handled with care, but any ssh key could just as well be scraped by the OS vendor as any password or by someone that compromised your system.
this could be OS independent since it’s mainly an ffmpeg front end
Ever thought about launching your own blog? Ever wondered what it takes, not only to start up that blog, but also to successfully build it over time to make money online or generate a passive income? Clearly, you're not alone. Millions of people try their hand at blogging, but so few actually ever generate a substantial income from their efforts.

However, if you're starting a blog for the purposes of making money, and you're not actually passionate about writing in the first place, then you're largely wasting your time. The art of blogging isn't simply scientific or formulaic. Without a deep-seated passion for your craft, you'll face a tide of frustration and upset.
It's not one or the other.
Vaccines work great, but the prevention is not 100% effective.

It seems now doubtful, that we can achieve herd immunity, so we still need something to treat people for which the vaccine doesn't work.

I wouldn't hold my breath on ivermectin though either.

My understanding from one of the articles was that McDonalds wanted them to make a special model that did away with some portion of the manual process in favor of press-button maintenance, and they did.

Unfortunately, it turns out that it's hard to replicate the reliability and adaptability of human manual labor mechanically sometimes.

True, it is called the race to idle. A lot of work went into transitioning between pstates really quickly.

Any air accidentally injected into a vein as part of a vaccination would be insufficient to cause injury. It takes tens or hundred of milliliters of air to cause a venous embolism in a typical person.

Covid vaccine syringes are 1 ml. It's impossible to inject enough air using one of these syringes to cause any sort of trouble.
Longhorn failed due to sabotage from Windows team due to the usual WinDev vs DevDiv politics, hence why since Vista all Longhorn ideas have been redone in COM, and COM followed by WinRT (COM + IInspectable + TLB replaced with .NET metadata).

Best guess: Taylors made a generous bid to McD corporate to become the exclusive provider of ice cream machines. This bid gives a chunk of money to McD corporate and promises maximum machine costs and maintenance call-out costs for franchisees. However it has no guarantees for call-out frequency, so as per a razor-and-blades business model this is how Taylors is now getting all their profits and the KPI they are maximising.

HN does not have an edited tag and doesn't allow editing past a brief window (for both headlines and comments). Ones that are edited are invisibly edited: there's no notification that they have been, unless someone points it out.

I edited this comment multiple times. No edit tag.
The same kind of stuff one would use an Arduino for.
Regarding the max-performance-out-of-the-box, unfortunately you're mistaken. Part of the reason people could often get insane overclocks out of their hardware was that AMD and Intel would periodically produce a higher than expected number of processors that could handle a greater clock speeds. And rather than cutting prices on those parts they'd simply configure and sell them as a lower-spec'd part - so back in the day AXIA core Athlons may have been sold at 1GHz, but would often comfortably hit 1.33GHz and beyond[0]. This still happens to this day[1], nothing's different about that.

Whether you're comfortable going down this unsupported/warranty-breaking route is another story, but it's certainly not the case that all processors nowadays are sold at their peak possible performance out of the box.
