Interesting! Summary:

- They are using acoustic pickup for some reason (possibly for legal reasons?), there are plans on how to construct interfaces from home depot materials.

- The modem is fixed speed, 300bps and uses FSK. There is no dialing, pickup/release or ring detection, this is all manual. It is RS232 lines connected to modulator/demodulator and then to phone line.

- For modulator, they use NE567 which is designed as a tone decoder, but can be abused to act as tone generator instead. It can be muted by demodulator's "carrier detect", so the modem can auto-shut-off if the other side is gone.

- For demodulator they use XR2211, which is apparently special PLL designed specifically for the modems.

- Every other page is a full-page ad, plus there are ads inside the text, too. So 50%+ area is advertisement. If you thought that the web invented pervasive advertisements, you are wrong.
> I could still be wrong. To me, if he was trying to usefully inform other readers he would have commented on why his/her perceived historical connotations are meaningful.

Aha. See, if you had phrased that as a question, there could be room for curious conversation. Instead, you took the least generous interpretation and ran with that.
I guess I wasn't clear that the popular outrage over prices is about prices of SFHs. People aren't accepting the possibility of having to buy an apartment like people in big cities all over the world do. Expectations haven't caught up with demographic changes.
Nebula transits every EC2-to-EC2 packet at Slack, across lots of AWS regions and tens of thousands of hosts. It’s probably doing petabits of traffic per second. And it’s a safer, more expressive firewall than EC2 security groups.

So, yes, it works for personal use-cases but it works for truly gigantic applications, too.
At some point when you get 'mistakenly' kicked off Twitter for the nth time, there has to be a point where you just go fuck this and either throw up your own site or move to mastodon.
If Twitter blocks your account in the morning, Twitter is an asshole. If Twitter blocks your account all day...yeah Twitter is still an asshole.
>This is especially important given the fact that it is much slower sending wasm over the wire and instantiating the module and the wasm environment vs plain js

You might be surprised. JS is a very slow language to parse. WASM was designed to be parsed quickly. And browsers have implemented streaming compilation for WASM, which means once the last byte comes over the wire, 99% of the work is already done.

Check out js-framework-benchmark[1] startup metrics. The page weight for Yew (another WASM framework) is pretty heavyweight at 300KB, but it has a consistently faster time-to-interactive than vanillajs.

Oh, those cycles are free? That's not how I remember having to plan compute budgets and deadlines when I worked in real low-latency programming.
Sure so that goes back to my point, why does the US exactly care about France in the region? France can’t stop China (which is who would conquer those islands if anyone) and the US would have to do it anyway. Oh and France is staying at arms length from both the US and China.

New Zealand is kind of eh too. They don’t contribute much to the alliance of the Anglosphere countries and have been (for their own export-oriented economic reasons) reluctant to anger China… an ally in the region? Sure. But it depends on how (from the perspective of the US) annoying they are. The whole “no nuclear on the island” thing basically forces the US to violate New Zealand sovereignty in the event of a war if they’re going to dock there at all. So what’s the US to do? New Zealand wants to have its cake and eat it too.

Again, not judging NZ or France here, just speaking to what I’m observing in the geopolitical sphere.
I don't know if the "most people want a single family home" thing is entirely accurate. Hobsonville Point is mostly terraced housing, duplexes and apartments and prices there are well above the surrounding mostly-single-family-home suburbs. I realize there are other reasons for high prices, like local schools, age of housing, etc, but I think it shows that the demand for medium density is there. It's just no one has been building any medium density housing in the last 50 years, and until the recent changes to the Auckland Unitary Plan, it was very difficult to re-develop existing single-family lots.

Sorry, if you won’t concede that the vaccines save lives then it is not possible to have a further discussion in good faith.

They didn’t get a test but they got symptomatic covid at the height of both waves.
I think the connections are actually pretty obvious. Covid was like an atom bomb. No kind of sane invisible hand could have intelligently responded. Which is why the evil fed has very incompetently responded. You could write the same story about the restaurant industry.
Ya, the motor trike carrying a mountain of recycling is still a thing in some cities.
You could say the same for the piano. For most musical instruments, the first months or years of study are spent just trying to get a good sound out of the thing and to be able to play all of the pitches in its range. Then keyboard instruments came along and suddenly anybody could produce a sound with zero effort at all, just by pressing a key.

However it still takes a long amount of time and a lot of practice to fully mesh your brain with the piano so that you can use it as if it was an appendage of your body. DAWs are no different, in fact a DAW is considerably harder to start using than a piano.

This would not help Apple’s case with the current Department of Labor probes, as well as the investigations complaints lodged with California’s Dept of Industrial Relations Labor Commissioner's Office.

Is it similar to Twitter where the <0.1% drive dialogue?
Saying you'd exchange a body part that you can technically live without for something is a pretty common metaphor to the point where I'd say it's not glorifying self harm.
An equally-quick but not-at-all-dirty version of this is to use the Accept header and do content negotiation. There is a solution to this exact problem in the HTTP spec.
It seems there may be some others...

From the wikipedia page:

> According to Epilepsy Action, research has suggested that Mozart's K 448 can have the "Mozart effect", in that listening to the piano sonata improved spatial reasoning skills and reduced the number of seizures in people with epilepsy. Apart from Piano Concerto No. 23, only one other piece of music has been found to have a similar effect.[2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonata_for_Two_Pianos_(Mozart)...

If we follow the link we get this:

> Apart from another Mozart Concerto, K488, only one other piece of music has been found to have a similar effect, a song by the Greek-American singer Yanni. Entitled 'Acroyali/Standing In Motion', it is featured on his album "Live At The Acropolis". This composition was chosen by researchers because it was similar to Mozart's K448 in tempo, structure, melodic and harmonic consonance and predictability.

So, we have K448, K488, K545, and a Yanni song. (Piano concerto number 23 is K488.)

Probably there are others, it's just hard to test every song. (It'd be interesting to see a list of all the songs that were tried that were found not to have this effect.) It's also likely that there's a kind of music that would work even better, but it hasn't been composed yet. The search space of all possible music is very large, especially if you don't constrain yourself to 12-tone equal temperament or conventional time signatures.

I also wonder if it matters whether the test subject is familiar with the genre of music or not, and whether it matters whether the test subject actually likes the song or not.
"Manual memory management" means more than just explicit free(3). If you have to create a destructor, and a class for it to sit in, just to make sure some bit of memory gets freed, that's manual memory management. The falsehoods here are yours.
I can totally relate to this myself. My father also recently just purchased a small sawmill which I think Youtube had a not so insignificant role in...
You pay $5/month for every 100,000 stored images and $1 per 100,000 delivered images.

that is for a cache-MISS or a cache-HIT (I assume).

This is not ML doing it, but legions of underpaid Indians, and North Africans.

The later are mostly needed, and recruited because of EU antiterrorism censorship. (Do terrorists never speak anything other than Arabic?)
When considering performance, some people presume that WASM is much the same as JavaScript; I’m just reminding them that this is not the case: WASM has better loading characteristics than JavaScript so that its cost per byte is much more like that of images than of JavaScript.
do you have a metric for what is reliable and unbiased? Any time I see an article on Bitcoin or altcoins on a MSM page its factually incorrect and heavily biased.

Also, can you provide an article showing that Bitcoin is used for "tons" (whatever percentage tons means) of illegal activity?
Believe it or not, there are reasons to perform amputations other than suicide and self-harm
And that’s why the US is moving away from Europe militarily. Not much to gain. No more Middle East wars. An EU that (again perspective of the US) isn’t clearly on the side of the US (I don’t care about the reasons here some are legit of course) and who the US is feeling annoyed with having to get the EU to “do something for their own good”. Big expense for the US in political and military capital and not much in the way of returns.

If the US left Europe completely what happens? That’s the question the US is asking now and by the moves they’re making it seems to me the answer is a resounding “nothing that we care about”.
"Guts" sometimes means "Something's gotta give or I'm outta here anyway." Other comments here suggest that was likely the case.

You are not coming out ahead. Buying a new car will have long term benefits compared to someone’s used car which may or may not have issues depending on the reason they sold it so soon.

Also, if you can’t deal with the “pain” of buying a new car every few years you must find a lot of things really painful.
Huh? Docker has limited amount of layers, and can easily consume a lot of disk space. It's also very easy to mess up data between layers.

Better would be to run Snap inside LXC containers, it works well:

The passing of Norm MacDonald (may he rest in peace) means that such dark humor no longer has a leg to stand on.
Not to mention, C/C++/C# are not things you can just scratch at, you need to dive in and make it your home, otherwise no one will take you seriously. C/C++/C# dabblers are dime a dozen, but if you crack the top 10% suddenly you're valuable.

Python/JVM/Ruby are the opposite: It's more about a diverse skillset, because most of the time you'll have to use Java AND Python, or Python AND Ruby.
so this whole zerocorp/zerotier/encrypted-mesh networking approach is pretty cool, but every time i see it i ask myself: how do you monitor for malicious nodes? in old setups, typically there would be some sort of passive monitoring system that would monitor the traffic between hosts and could be used for forensics/malicious traffic identification. but if you're encrypting traffic at each node for each other node, then only the participant nodes are privy to the traffic. if one or both are compromised, how would you ever know? sure you can run userland security agents on them that collect data, but if the machines are actually compromised, you can't really trust what they say, right? (that's the whole reason why you use a third system for monitoring!)
I think it’s obvious to an everyday English speaking person, this is a take on a regular saying, like “costing an arm and a leg” or “sell my firstborn” or something. Though if I were this Twitter person, I would definitely avoid any metaphors involving things like this if they’ve been banned or whatever so many times.

Still, as an average person, it isn’t taken as anything but a riff on a saying.
I work for Automattic (Wordpress) and internally we use https://wordpress.com/p2/ as well as slack. P2 is basically every team having an internal Wordpress blog. This serves the same purpose as mailing lists but with rich content and other nice features I think it works really well for long form discussion.
As a standard or low end option. I was thinking of a Mac SE/30 that probably came with 40 or 80MB hard drive. It was black & white, but on the other hand, it had a fast CPU and space for way more than 8MB RAM.

$9600 in 1990 is an absurd amount, even compared to Apple prices at the time. That is/was a new economy car price.

In any case, I didn't have any contact to speak of with PC compatibles until I went to college, only Amigas, Apples, and Macs.
> Still, why not send actual CSAM then, so that they are actually caught? Getting them into review just causes them inconvenience.

Because that requires possessing illegal images, while legal pornography that also happens to cause a hash collision with NeuralHash doesn't.

Again, no one at Apple is reviewing the source image. They're reviewing obfuscated derivative images, and then informing law enforcement if they suspect they're illegal images.

What law enforcement then does is get warrants for all of the accused's electronic devices and raids their home and workplace in order to collect evidence.

It's another version of SWATing. Sure, eventually the authorities might find out that the accused isn't actually a mass shooter or holding hostages, but by then the damage is already done.
I have no real point to the article itself, but since the OP says it's the 4th time they had their account locked. I wonder if people who get their account locked are more likely to get it locked more than once?

I'm curious if there is a tendency some people have in their style of humor or topics that leads to a much higher likelihood of being flagged?

From the perspective of the US , Europe is not committed to the degree the Uk and Australia are to China (I would say this is a fact really) so there isn’t really anything to lose by shifting away to more important regions. Trade stays the same, and then the US can focus attention elsewhere and let the EU deal with Russia if there is such a need.

Australia is a big country, lots of resources, extremely important as a land of last resort in the Pacific. Far more important to US global interests than the EU. No question in my mind.
The tweet that got the account locked was a reply to the first one presented: "@craigmod There may be a video on how to cut off your leg"
Customers don't adopt new systems unless they see a benefit.

But novel new systems have a difficult time starting and proving themselves when large gatekeepers suppress innovation.
I wonder if the "well they're a private company" brigade of mostly-newfound libertarians will ever concede that lots of private companies are heavily regulated for the good of society. My guess is yes, the second they are on the receiving side of discrimination and unfairness.

Am I the only one who despises Intuit, root deep in my soul? I'm thrilled for the founders of MailChimp don't get me wrong. Just today I was offered a monthly rate, and reimbursement for an account that was created over 7 years ago, and was charging me every month until I discovered it. Now they are retracting the agreement, raised their prices by over 50% and now offering me a insulting rate monthly as if they are giving me some huge break. I don't see Xero, FreshBooks, or any of the others encroaching on their territory anytime soon. Web3 can't get hear fast enough.
Personally, I think Gitlab needs to match with features of Github and its reliability.
Not sure what I think about this.

I don't use Tailscale because I don't trust their key distribution, and this open source project would solve that, but it might undermine Tailscale's sustainability.

This would be a shame because Tailscale is working well with the open source community: open source clients, working well with distros, working well with Linux DNS stack, supporting a more P2P secure Internet, and documenting their well through it.
Sure that can happen. I can also see Australia “opening up” as a condition of the alliance too.

All speculative here so thanks for your thoughts!!!! (Serious)
This experiment doesn't tell us much of anything about the future of humanity.

* There aren't enough parallels between human social patterns and mice. Human intelligence seems to be largely about managing social relationships and we might reasonably expect that to have big implications at scale.

* Resource scarcity is still the major problem at the level humans operate at. The global median lifestyle is sustained on less than $10k/annum, and a human can comfortably consume an order of magnitude more than that without giving in to hedonism. There is reason to believe resources will give out before we hit that limit.

* The experiment is a bit artificial.
They permanently suspended my account because I made a joke about a chocolate fountain to a parody account of Biden's dog due to the insensitive nature of the account's tweet (something about the Texas ice storm DURING the statewide outage that left my family without power for a week). So much fun sleeping in your car because there are no hotel rooms and it's 42 degrees inside your house.

Is it a free speech issue? No, it's an asshole issue, and I guess there's enough assholery to go around for everybody.
I can recommend With Folded Hands.

I think I listened to it on Audible, there is a bunch of anthologies of short SF stories.

It is not long, but it is for sure scary. Scary when you look outside and you start seeing similarities.
> Richard Dahan, who is deaf, said he had struggled at his former job at an Apple Store in Maryland for six years because his manager refused to provide a sign-language interpreter for him to communicate with customers, which federal law requires under some circumstances.

This just doesn't seem like a reasonable accommodation for a retail job. Your whole job is to communicate with the customers. If you need to hire another person to do the communicating, what are you doing there? Why not just hire the interpreter?

This is like if you're in a wheelchair and you get a job to hang drywall. They pay you, but then have to hire another person to actually hang the drywall while you...point out where to put it?
Interesting. Those laptops look nifty. Hopefully they'll have some Ryzen based ones by the time I'm ready for an upgrade. :)
The majority of Australians grumble about it but agree with the lockdown restrictions. Looking at the insane number of people dying from COVID in the US compared with Australia I understand why.

I wonder if gps tracking got messed up. Isn’t he under some type of bridge? That causes gps reflections and other forms of ghosting.
Omg exactly this.
The obvious answer is that self-reported race is correlated with many biological traits throughout the body. This is already known. It's no surprise that ML can detect those differences. If somebody's self-identification is abnormal (doesn't know their ancestry, say), then sure, the AI might see through it. Conventional measurements could see through it too.
As someone who works in the biotech space it’s still fuzzy to me what Gingko offers. Looking at their pitch deck I see partnerships with milestone payments across multiple industries agriculture, chemicals, bio security and now pharmaceuticals.

Does Gingko have a proprietary technology to offer or are they just a centralized platform?

I did notice their latest focus is pharmaceuticals where the huge margins are, but most biotechs will treat manufacturing as a patented process. So with Gingko just take royalties? If so there are plenty of other biotechs (probably many no one has heard of) that do this very successfully.

The business model is still not clear.
Install your own mastodon instance or join an existing one. That would be much more better than naive complains on centralized social networks driven by venture capitals.
> that joke is not obvious to someone who doesn't know this person

The internet must be a scary place for these hypothetical persons you pretend to know.
This quote seems real interesting: “ Romesberg thinks that these findings could raise questions about modifications of bacterial DNA that were thought to be epigenetic — that is, changes made to nucleotides after the DNA was synthesized, usually to influence gene expression. The Z substitution, he said, “shows that things that you might have thought were epigenetic might not be.””
Your suggestions are also the only way I can manage to deal with adults effectively. The only difference is that I don't have any kind of legal or biological obligation to coexist with most adults and since it really does require a lot of energy and time as you say, I rarely ever do it. There's nothing more infuriating to me than being the only person in a room full of adults actually trying to communicate maturely. Especially when the people I'm talking to are older than me.

Depends. I wouldn't want to get slapped with a high fee if I were held up in traffic, I'd end up renting elsewhere. Also, I've heard that rental agencies often lend vehicles between one another, which could further complicate the issues that make capacity unreliable.

You can possibly buy a subscription but tell the devs that you're using headscale. If enough people do this they might make a host-your-own version like bitwarden.
