Well just try using google in China for one thing.

I really don't get the outragefilter here - Apple (take 'em or leave 'em) lays out for the public a system for checking uploaded content for illicit material that everyone else is already checking for and just didn't tell you. And somehow the disclosure is reason to get pissy?

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying the only alternative is to love the largest corp that's ever existed because that's a dumb-ass false dichotomy. I just don't understand the vitriol expressed in certain quarters over this issue when you know that the rest of FAANG, and smaller players, are doing no less and never even bothered to figure out how to do so with even an iota of respect for their users. Hell y'know google's using your photo backups to sell you advertising at least, training models in the mid, and at worst going to comb through everything you ever brought within their arms reach the moment local law enforcement makes them.

1. The games I play do not run on Linux (Call of Duty being a big one)

2. Some software I use does not run on Linux (Clip Studio, Adobe CC)

3. MacOS offers some of the benefits I would get from Linux with a more consistent environment, polished software, and better integration with my other devices

4. Linux is too fragmented, everyone seems to disagree and roll their own solution. This was fine when I had fun tinkering with computers, but now I use computers for leisure and work.

If they did nothing but throw it into a stock market index fund for the last 11 years and compounded it at the standard 8% they would have profited 9 billion dollars. Not a bad way to make a buck. That's at a standard 8%, the stock market returned 9.2% the last 10 years. S&P500 returned ~13%. These guys know what they were doing and were laughing on the way to sign the settlement papers.
I'm surprised by the section on including key travel time in the latency measures. Wasn't the Apple 2 keyboard about comparable in travel distance and resistance to today's typical mechanical keyboard switches?

I still can't find it in me to like the Apple Magic keyboard because I feel like my fingers are smashing into a metal plate hundreds of times a minute. That's a me problem though and others just have better form.

Now I'm curious about the latency of the stuff I've put on teensys in my own custom keyboards/controllers and will need to resist the urge to go shopping for a scope.

Also wondering how much PS/2 vs USB matters.
Haha, oh ok. Nah, how about I just install it? You can build it, tho. Got it? OK :p ;) xx
I'd written an EEG signal processing and inference backend for a drone control system that did this in 2010. It picks up on Mu rhythms from the motor cortex.

It flew around campus at UIUC..

Also, give up on that gifted ICE mower and go but an electric mower. It's so nice to not smell like gasoline, or have my ears ringing, or have my carpal tunnel exacerbated from vibrations.

After I got mine, half the neighborhood eventually replaced their mowers with electrics and the drop in neighborhood nose has also been great.

If you sell the inventory at a loss, you can 'write off' the 'lost value', which reduces your profits on paper in that fiscal year (and the corresponding taxes), but you did already pay taxes on holding that inventory.

These taxes reduce the amount of money you can spend on capital equipment, inventories, and facilities, which reduces your maximum rate of growth.

All of these are the reasons that software businesses are so heavily advantaged by the tax code. They don't have to pay taxes on (much) capital equipment or inventories, and the smaller facilities are also beneficial from a tax perspective.

Fitness goals are generally related to romatic goals.

Romantic goals are inherently competitive - if you succeed, you're taking the partner from whoever else would have gotten her had you never existed.

Financial freedom isn't competitive really, you're right.

Altruism is borderline, given how much of "altruistic" activity is really about social signaling and competitive status games through conspicuous giving. Even if subconsciously.

All the above are day-to-day goals though, except perhaps altruism. By not day-to-day I mean something beyond satisfying the desires of your physical body to feel good, fuck, eat well, be safe, be admired, etc. Goals about species, deep time, eternal questions, the fate of the environment or the planet.
So, I will argue "very little": Orchid's decentralized node "directory" runs on Ethereum, but transactions are only very seldom made to modify it (it is more than just servers coming and going, but not much more); in the future, when Ethereum moves to proof of stake, I'd expect this to drop from "very little" to "almost none" (well, as "overhead").

The real blockchain transaction volume we do is for backing the payment system, and there I'll note that Orchid's payment layer is somewhat chain agnostic: I designed the payment protocol to support some level of negotiation on how the payments happen. Right now, many of the active users happen to use xDAI (which is not based on proof of work).

At the same time I reckon we should throw money at stuff even half- (not baked, but, half-) completed...because the pay-off is high (if it works) even if the current state of art right now is weak.

There are often competing approaches, and funding favorites.

But I didn't know this--what you said about the difficulty of signal collection, and rejection--and really value that alternative perspective to the one I've seen in the press about using AI, which you think is overblown. Thank you! :)

I now have 2FA from Comcast, but I get hacking emails daily. I don't care about the emails. They keep me up to date on the latest scam.

This email is not attached to anything important besides my doctor.

Seeing this again makes me want to dig out the sketches I had for a FPGA-based keyboard controller. There's no poll latency when nothing is polled! (Okay, okay, there's a few clocks.)

The trouble with that project was always that I hate prototyping with BGAs, having to deal with carrier boards sucks, and all the QFP or similar FPGAs were limited to 144 pins, which is just not quite enough for 108 keys given the number of other demands for I/Os, and the number of I/Os you actually get on a 144-lead package.

I wasn't much looking forward to dealing with the USB either (I seem to remember it would require at least a small softcore?) but at least there's plenty of open or vendor implementations there to "borrow".

If anyone wants to rip this off, go right ahead as long as you let me know... this controller was only one piece of a larger idea, and I love it when people do my job for me :)
Agreed.

France is 60% fully vaccinated, Australia less than 30%. There's the real problem. At that disastrously low vaccination rate it's only lockdown keeping the death rate that low.

the issue is unvaccinated people are hogging up healthcare resources. and the vaccine isn't being used on children yet.

Really i wish we just stopped giving hospital spots to unvaccinated covid patients. I think then we would go back to "normal". For what ever reason decision makers keep trying be empathetic to people who can't be bothered to care about them selves
> instead has relied on rolling lockdowns and other invasive measures.

Perhaps I misunderstood your point, but it appears that you are arguing that Australia preferred the option of rolling lockdowns?

When you have no vaccines available there are two options. Overload your hospital system or lockdown. Everyone would have preferred having vaccines when the US and the UK received theirs.

Furthermore, the state governments that are actually in charge of lockdowns, are not responsible for procuring the vaccines. The federal government were under minor scrutiny for making a mess of that. This reflects the media landscape in Australia that is dominated by NewsCorp.

Sometimes I try to imagine what things would be like if people were still trying to optimize their stuff as if it were to be ran on a 16mhz machine with a few kb of ram. Then I get back to the 6 electron apps I gotta work with, where latency between a key showing up in the search box and search results appearing gets close to 10s.

I find the opposite to be true. Small town parochialism is cliche for no reason. Small towns have historically relied on a high degree of trust rarely given to so-called outsiders and engage in subtlety coercive acts that prevents "insider" from adopting the ways of the greater world. In a small town, an old lady whose hobby involves spying on their neighbors has a lot more power over other people's lives than most landlords in New York City.

The best way to attack this subject is to first define "freedom".

But if you want my opinion, the internet has created a greater expression of liberty than anything else ever invented. The issue regarding the restraint of individual liberties isn't the medium but the people and what they value.
Good for them but this is all political theatre.

Texans have been supporting a little too much freedom during the pandemic, with public opinion being against CDC recommendations.

So the controlled opposition decided to pull a Trump.

A bit of a digression about tariffs:

Something that doesn't make sense about political discussions around tariffs (at least in the U.S.) is that it seems like the overwhelming narrative is that "tariffs are bad for business, so we shouldn't have them if we can possibly avoid it". We don't talk that way about other taxes. If you said "we shouldn't have corporate income taxes because they're bad for business" the Republicans would mostly nod along, and the Democrats would say, "Wait, hold up there. Of course they're bad for business, but the point is to raise revenue to pay for other things. Governments need revenue from somewhere." But then when it comes to tariffs for some reason it's treated differently and Democrats are suddenly on board with lowering taxes, with the whole debate being in the context of whether protectionism versus free trade is better for local business (with both major parties mostly leaning towards free trade), and the aspect of revenue isn't even part of the discussion.
