Fujifilm makes okay cameras...however, what I don't like about them is that almost all of their cameras seem to be the same product with a new name and a minor tweak. New arrangements of buttons and knobs are not innovations.

Sure, they have the GFX series with huge sensors, but that is a niche market.

They should do something like the APS-C equivalent of Sony a1 with a fast-readout sensor for their format, and maybe remove the mechanical shutter for good. What they've been doing for the past few years is just boring and plain.
> Finland proposes paying the unemployed (this differs slightly from unemployment benefits in the US) while Ontario proposes paying anyone below the poverty line.

Neither of these is a UBI. Paying only people who are unemployed is in particular quite the opposite of what you want, because it discourages people from taking a job since they'll lose the money. Moreover, you need more of the middle class to be receiving some of the money (they'll pay some but not all of it back in taxes), because that's what increases consumer demand.
That doesn't necessarily seem like a terrible sum, if the jobs are sustainable and the 2k is a lower bound.

OTOH, it seems likely the jobs would be created there without this payment, so why do it?
I have two AOC monitors, one is 1920x180 crisp and clear and great it was ~$180 when I bought it [0]

The other is 1366x768 or whatever, but it was only $69 when I bought it. But this one isnt too bright and has a poor viewing angle.

I use them both with my 15" HP Omen, and they work fantastic as a 3-monitor Laptop Setup... I use the high quality one for extra screen space for apps like illustrator , running a browser with say - youtube tutorials etc...

And I use the poorer quality one for text reading - or playing a youtube tutorial if I am learning something like, again, how to draw something in Illustrator.

I am not a housing investor, but I see many misguided articles claiming housing investors are driving prices up.

The factors that primarily control pricing in the housing market are supply and demand.

In Seattle, London, Los Angeles and elsewhere demand has risen steadily but supply has not. This causes prices to increase sharply.

The solution is to increase the housing supply. If the government removes regulations preventing developers from building new houses and apartments, many more will be built and prices will drop.

Many young people prefer to live in inexpensive high density housing. I remember looking at renting an apartment without a kitchen (there was a big shared kitchen for the whole floor) and without its own bathroom in my early twenties. Monthly rental price on this is around $300 per month as compared to $1,600 for a single bedroom apartment. Why aren’t there more of these? Government regulation prevents them from being built.

Government permitting processes take years to go through and cost millions of dollars for big new apartment buildings or for residential developments. If we lighten / remove these regulations, housing supply will decrease dramatically.

If you don’t want housing investors bidding up housing prices, then allow the supply to continuously increase. This will continuously drive down prices and no investors will want to buy.
Have you looked at interest rates lately? The times of "extortionate rates" are long gone.
You're being unrealistic about the reality of living in New Orleans and the level of capital investment in New Orleans vs Baton Rouge or other cities that aren't under constant threat of destruction.

People just aren't going to come in and build nice shopping centers in New Orleans. It isn't happening and hasn't happened. Why would it when they could build in another city where it won't get destroyed and it will be more profitable?

It is extremely stressful every year watching hurricanes and wondering if your house is going to be destroyed. Then when your house is destroyed it is no fun at all to be involved in gutting it and rebuilding it. On top of that no one is making investments in the city so it hardly has any good jobs.

It isn't alarmist to recognize what is already happening. The climate is creating more extreme weather events that are undermining New Orleans. It doesn't need to be some fake "The Day After Tomorrow" style disaster that people can easily recognize. It is an insidious, slow, hollowing out of the city.

How many water boil warnings have their been since Katrina? How often has electricity been inconsistent in the city? I can tell you it happens a lot more now than it did before Katrina, and it is going to be even worse after Ida.
They're apparently going to have a stacked sensor like in the a9/a1 in their next generation. Still not very interested in crop cameras but it's not a bad system overall.

"The thing we knew would happen and that every expert said would happen happened."
"Many of the raw materials needed for a SSP system can be sourced from asteroids or the lunar surface and if these could be used to manufacture the SSP components in orbit it would cause the cost of the system to plummet. In fact, in-space manufacturing may be key to making SSP a cost-competitive energy resource."

This is mostly an excuse to spend money on space programs. It has to be cheaper than ground-based solar power with batteries, which is working and works better every year.

It's one of those ideas, like automotive battery swapping, which were a bet against batteries getting better.
I really don't think anyone is being taught anything misleading here. curl|bash makes very clear that it's running arbitrary code as you, and I think almost everyone who invokes it does in fact understand that.

If anything, I think package managers create a false sense of security, especially ones that allow anyone to publish packages and declare dependencies on anything else. Installing an npm package -- even one from someone you trust -- could very easily transitively install something malicious. Debian packages are arguably better in that not just anyone can push packages to Debian's main package repo, but there's still a very real danger of a hidden backdoor. But I think a lot of people just assume installing from a package manager is not dangerous.

> The very intelligent people at Docker used to have this pattern at get.docker.io. They changed it.

Probably not for security reasons, though. There's a separate, very legitimate argument for distro packages, which is that they implicitly promise to play nicely with your distro's conventions and install themselves in a clean, manageable way. How to update or uninstall a distro package is well-defined. None of this is actually guaranteed, of course -- a package can do whatever it wants in an install hook. But assuming you trust the developer isn't malicious, then you can get some comfort knowing the package is unlikely to screw up your system.

curl|bash provides no such promise, even implicitly. Who the hell knows what it might decide to do. Maybe it has one of those `rm -rf $SOME_VAR_THAT_MIGHT_NOT_BE_DEFINED/*` bugs like Steam did at one point.

Sandstorm is careful to avoid messing up anything, installing itself to a self-contained directory, and providing an uninstall script. But the user doesn't really know that in advance.

The reason to use curl|bash in spite of this is because distro packaging is a lot of work (there are a lot of distros!) and may not be the best use of time for a small project. Docker is definitely big enough to do it, though.

So yeah, there's definitely a cleanliness argument. But the security argument is bogus.

I'm fairly sure Sci-Hub (and book scanners like CZUR's) made DOI useful, even (and perhaps especially) for working and teaching physicists at large research universities with excellent librarians.

You're clearly someone who never had issues with cravings and diet control. Good for you!

For many people though, cutting out carbs come at an expense. You need to police yourself constantly in order to not give in to cravings. You get twitchy, you get anxious, you get a lot more withdrawal symptoms and you need to soldier through them.

Once you're out of the habit and your body has adapted to getting most of its energy from other nutrients, the cravings reduce or disappear.

Playing golf will probably have no real connection to these results. Making an effort (sometimes a huge one) to cut them down to the point where they cease to be a phisiological and psychological necessity does.

On the point of alcohol being a carbohydrate, you may be right. I am no chemist. It does contain all the same core elements. From a behavioural, dieting and additction points of view though, they are quite different.
The GP is talking about Dual EC (the infamous algorithm in question) and abbreviating it DEC.

Another aspect is that if you are a regular exerciser you tend to also take your weight seriously. In part because lower weight means easier runs.

But heavy drinking tends to also increase your weight and it can take several days to get rid of that excess weight.

So it's a bit of a paradox really.

Perhaps it's the "high" feeling that a good exercise leaves you with, that also makes you seek out alcohol for that same feeling.
Not surreal at all. It's exactly what everyone in the cryptography communuty said would happen if people listened to the government and added backdoors for the "good guys".

Hope this sort of thing keeps happening. I want more concrete examples to cite when people defend this stupidity. I want the governments of the world to be too embarrassed to talk about cryptography ever again, least of all demand backdoors into private infrastructure.

Same boat here. I've turned so many friends on to software defined overlay networks over the years and most can't understand how ZeroTier is free for everything you get. I use both Tailscale and ZeroTier for different purposes. With ZeroTier L2 bridging comes at less of a cost than with ZeroTier. I honestly wish Tailscale has a bit more flexibility and functionality in their routing capabilities. Both are fantastic though and I highly recommend both!

I'm also surprised that ZeroTier hasn't been acquired. I was working for a prominent network security vendor about 6 years ago and mentioned to some higher level product folks that ZeroTier is basically "next-gen VPN" and how it would be a fantastic addition to our product suite. I remember getting snide comments about we already did what ZeroTier was solving for. However DM-VPN type implementations aren't remotely like how ZeroTier solved for and now I think the light bulb has likely lit up for those folks given how all the Zero Trust / Perimeterless / SASE / SD-WAN have taken off. Totally agree that most of the "enterprise" solutions are just garbage built on OpenVPN or overly rigid IPsec implementations with poor performance and even worse functionality.

https://twitter.com/JWMason1/status/1426245765437952010 it's far from universal across prices. The fact we where so much about prices and not about wages indicates a big bias in which these yeomen-presenting small businesses control the narrative.

I don't own a car, I don't pay for gas. I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, even with haircuts. If my haircut price did go up, and the barber's wage did too. I do not resent it.
I've noticed that old discussions of the US economy talked about things like how many million tons of steel and concrete were produced. The number of houses and cars produced. Electric power generation per year.

Now all economists are interested in is GDP and the rise in nominal real estate, stock and bond prices. And they don't care about the things I mentioned above. Or things like 95% of real estate investments are for existing stock.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that two 'currencies' can have such divergent rates of return. Either its the arbitrage of a lifetime or a massive Ponzi scheme.

Organizations such as Fidelity and Susquehanna have access to cash at rates much lower than 5%, why then would they need to borrow crypto at that rate? Or, why don't they just leverage a whole bunch of cash, convert it to crypto and lend it out at 5% and make $$$ on the arbitrage?

I'm skeptical, but this whole setup is pretty interesting (and tempting).

Various issues with this tech:

1. "A 2,000 MW SSP system would require a ground receiver covering about 30 square kilometers"

2. The satellite would be in geostationary orbit, or 22,000 miles up, so a directed microwave beam would need to be sent that distance in as tight a beam as possible, so likely the transmitter side on the satellite would be a large dish (to go along with the large surface area of the solar panels, so maybe if the solar panels are solved, then a large dish is ok)

3. Now, if you flew an airplane through that 30 sq km area what happens, or various wildlife like birds fly through that area? Slight cooking?

4. Likely that receiver can't be located near a city because people would be freaked out about being irradiated by a giant microwave beam, so you need transmission towers going across the land to the city you are hoping to power

5. If something goes wrong with your giant power plant in the sky you need to spend serious money to go up and try to fix it.

Or, you can dispense with all of that say, ok lets put up a 30 sq km solar array and a battery bank with it and just live with the fact that you don't get sun all of the time. Far cheaper and easier to maintain and upgrade in the future.

If this was a discussion about doing this from a space solar farm beaming energy down to mars, then that would be a different story since putting mass into orbit around a planet is cheaper than getting it onto the ground -- so it may actually make some reasonable sense for powering a mars base for some period of time rather than deploying tons of solar panels down on the surface of mars, then on the surface you come up with a low cost way to create some receiver that is low mass and ideally would be just a bunch of wire on a spool that somebody drives back and forth building up over a month or something.

Yeah, the position you articulated is my main concern. Do you think it makes any differences if the features are enabled-by-default? If so, the "default" experience isn't any different than it is today, but discerning consumers can disable things if they need it. But also, an "everything-by-default" approach doesn't seem that helpful to the global ecosystem.
I have had ~4 of their laptops over the years - the support was "good" -- but when three of the exact same models had issues, they wanted to charge me a shit-ton to fix what should have been replaced:

Three of the machines had screws inside the case that came loose and rattled around in the case - they wanted a bunch of money for replacement screws.

The power supplies had shitty cables that failed all too frequently and replacement power supplies for the machines were $90

Two of the models (built by CLEO) were "identical" but when one of the LCD screens failed in one, I attempted to change the LCD from the other machine that was kind of a spare, but they used a different LCD connector on each machine, even though they were "identical"

Then the main machine stopped booting, and no matter what I did, I couldnt get it to take an OS again.

the HP Omen is the best machine I have had (my macbook pro 15" was a part of the recall some time ago and it caught literally on fire in my bed while I was asleep and apple refused to replace it after "investigating it" for more than 2 months - even though it was a part of the recall, and had caught fire)

Anyway, my point is I likely will never buy a S76 again, nor an Apple machine...

However, I am sure the S76 boxes are much better build quality now (assuming they aren't still OemING from CLEO in TW.

I do not believe that it does.

Literally is used to distinguish figurative speech from literal speech, while verbatim is used to distinguish exact wording from paraphrasing.

For example, if I had temporarily lost my voice and couldn't talk, and someone texted "want to call", if I replied "I can't talk right now", they would assume I meant I was busy, but if I replied "I literally can't talk right now", that would accurately convey that I was in situation where talking wasn't possible, not merely busy. "I verbatim can't talk right now" is nonsense.
Welp, yeah I'd say that's a pretty good reason.

it's easy for people to look at 90's/2000's vernacular and assume a level of explicit bigotry that simply was not necessarily present. kids will always be drawn to an easy shorthand to use as a pejorative, preferably one that distinguishes them from earlier generations and makes their parents mad. they will probably start using the term through osmosis without even understanding its webster definition because that won't be their definition.
