Isn't it a bit of, "Don't hate the player, hate the game"?

The regulatory incentives are what they are. Democracy necessarily creates an incentive for lobbyists. Politicians and bureaucrats have similarly aligned incentives. Given these incentives, the outcome is almost entirely predetermined.

Too much focus is put on the sales pitch and the bill of goods while the deliverables are ignored. Narratives and elite promotions take on lives of their own in the minds of the public. Observe the incentives and watch who gets paid. There's a strong chance that everything else is just marketing fluff.

Most of the world does not have access to cheap and easy dollar-denominated payments. Using Bitcoin for this simplifies the implementation for Twitter, and reduces fees.
Cool idea, I suggest you add some disclaimer about data policy. My first thought on the landing page was "neat way to gather some personal data" :D
At first glance it might seem like that but the hotspots are measuring signal from eachother and are rewarded accordingly. The Proof of Coverage comes from actual measurements of RSSI against distance and power variations.

This is one of more interesting parts of the Helium network. It's wholly not forkable. Helium hotspot owners get their firmware updated automatically... which again seems like a big negative (single company controlled hardware) but it's imperative for this stage of network bootstrapping. I want Helium to tightly control quality now to get to a level of resources where trust itself can be disaggregated amongst DIY hotspots and firmware developers.
I disagree. Fuel emissions are an externality [1]. And for the free market to function, externalities should be appropriately (dis)incentivised.

Well done, OP. Break a leg.

Ah, damn! A subscription! For a desktop app! Noooo...

I have to withdraw my praise and the upvote. Subscriptions for installable apps are completely unacceptable.

Did you use flea preventative care before this happened? If so, what brand did you use? I am curious if various type of flea preventative care has different impacts on those fleas. My GSD is on Simparica (monthly oral med) and never got the fleas from the dog park. My GSD goes there bi-weekly for exercise and improving dog socialization.

This, particularly if your hardware has Thunderbolt capabilities. It's been proven that Thunderbolt can be exploited to give an attacker direct memory access[0], and there's really no recourse for it in the spec. Physical access is going to be game-over for a very long time, unfortunately.

I actually export the data from Amazon every year. They have nice CSV reports with all orders and all products, including cost, category, ASIN, etc. I wish there was a way to hook that up into mint.com to auto-categorize Amazon purchases.

I noticed they stopped including product details in emails a few years ago, didn't click until reading it now that they're doing it to prevent data mining. Kind of makes sense if you think about it, but maybe they should have an option for that for people that self-host their e-mail or use privacy-focused providers.

That's just creating a poverty trap. Sure you can use math and do a phased in/out credit based on income but that just replaces a welfare cliff with a welfare "steep grade". Unless the credit is so generously applied as to defeat the point of the price hike you're still making the metaphorical gravity well of poverty deeper.

Edit: Did I say something mathematically incorrect or is it just inconvenient?
In CS, you encounter lots of problems that are naturally solved by recursion not because such problems are especially common, but because they are favorites of CS professors.

Language parsers do a lot of recursion because the languages we invent are invented by CS people who like problems that can be solved that way, and because language itself is one that lends itself to that.

It is hard to tease out which recursions we find because professors just like it, and which ones real-world problems demand. Many commonly cited as the latter turn out, on close examination, to be the former.
In no way thanks to Apple's insistence on using weak solder and forcing the device to be as thin as possible. I've heard people argue this up and down the street, but I have a hard time believing it when most Windows/Linux devices have no problem managing their thermals in a way that doesn't destroy their hardware.

Tesla shouldn't get a say. They don't produce cars that use fuel so this is purely and obviously self serving.
Yes, but we are talking about the interests of users here. The idea that apple would prevent Nvidia GPUs from being used with their machines is further to the point of Apple putting its grudges ahead of the interests of their customers.
The title for this confused me. I read half the article expecting it to be about why advances in boots made it so the next generation of cobblers wouldn't repair them. A better title/summary, IMO is "The next generation of shoe cobblers are focused on sneakers".

This will hit poor, and low middle class, the hardest.

We are barely getting by as it is.

The poor don't have the luxury of buying new fuel efficient, or electric cars. Our roads are not safe for motorcycles 365 days out of the year. They buy what will get them to work and back hopefully, at a price that won't put them further into debt.

My biggest fear with Global Warming is they make the poor pay for it in sneaky ways.

When smog checks were required in CA, they made it sound like the low income wouldn't be hit hard financially. It didn't turn out that way though. If your vechicle doesn't pass increasing harder smog tests every two years; you end up paying a lot. (I can work on my own vechicles, but thinking about buying a smoke machine because they are now failing for tiny holes where hydrocarbons might escape.)
I think to understand the UI you've got to have grown up with vim or emacs where offering a wide range of features via rather shallow keyboard interactions to enable power users. I wouldn't say that nested menu driven interactions are entirely suitable - and I think that the first time you go through it helps immensely to have a tutorial open that will lead you through some basic things (designate chopping some trees for lumber - for instance). I also think that people who have been with it longer have a leg up here since the UI has slowly accumulated more complexity over time - the military interface and trade interfaces in particular are pretty hard to grok.

That all said - I would say that DF doesn't fall into a trap very common in modern games: it never lies to you in the UI for simplicity, it is clear about what it's doing and most of the errors are relatively clear to comprehend. Some of these have been accumulated over time (i.e. damp/warm stone warnings) but generally when a feature is added that feature gets consistently signaled in all the UI portions that need it and information is sanely repeated. A good example is lava-safe metals which are pretty clearly highlighted in areas where it might be relevant (i.e. building a floodgate and switch mechanisms).

I've frequently heard talk that cell-shading adds artistic flair or bloom allows better tooling around creating bright scenes - but the immensely obvious and clear style that DF achieves brings precisely what it needs to bring to the table. Ascii graphics make that game clearly legible while still allowing the imagination to roam and beautiful structures to be created - making a multi-z-level dining hall with balconies adding extra floor space around the roaring fire in the middle of the hall with dwarves dancing merrily around it... that is quite possible in DF - it's just not going to look like a triple-A game.

The problem is that HN actually does understand crypto and blockchain. The layperson might believe the myth that NFTs, for example, are "amazing tools with huge potential for monetization of all sorts of digital goods", but most of HN will know the reality - you are "buying" nothing more than a URL in a JSON file (i.e. no legal ownership of anything), almost all artists will lose money (there are over 20M listings on OpenSea and almost every one of those will not sell or sell at a loss to the artist given all the costs in making a listing), and most "investors" will too (unless they are one of the rings of anonymous bidders who collaborate to artificially inflate the price of their selected "artists").

Or just, you know, use a high frequency. There are tiny antennas. You can just power it via induction (like RFID) and you're set. It still couldn't transmit super far but I bet it would work.
That is the side effect of using someone's platform that does not belong to you. If you are passionate about a topic and wish to ensure that people can discuss it without forced redaction then register a domain, set up a forum and chat server and invite people to discuss. This of course isn't foolproof as you may find your hosting provider gets pressured to remove you so use a CDN and hide your origin servers. Be ready to change CDN's at a moments notice. If your platform is small then you should be able to keep it going for some time. If you become too popular then may be exposed to the same pressure that sites like Ars are facing. Assume ahead of time that search engines will also put your audience into a bubble or echo chamber so don't rely on search engines.
Centralization of power can do impressive things. Like conquering the boom/bust cycle, or mass imprisonment and ideological reprogramming of entire ethnic populations. I don't find it "impressive", just a consequence of different first principles.

To lazy to find it, but there are some youtube videos of a car reviewer doing cross country trips in tesla's to review the difficulty. They are generally favirable, while pointing out some of the possible issues (broken chargers!) that might cause problems. A year or so after the first one, he did the exact same road trip along the northern US to compare how well it worked in cold weather to determine how much effect it would have. (answer enough to be inconvenient but he also changed to a more optimal charging method to compensate). All that is to say, in the end he published how much it cost him for this road trip, per mile in charging fees and it ended up being something like 15% cheaper than driving a similar family sedan (30MPG IIRC) and buying gas.

Two which, I would like to point out that gas taxes to pay for the roads he was driving on where likely more than 15% in most of the states he drove through. It might have been slightly more carbon friendly, but i'm a little tired of people with electric cars being given quantity discounts (if you will) buying from power generation mixes that are >50% carbon while those of us cooling our inefficient houses and powering our piggy computers are on tiered pricing models that rape us for excess consumption.
Take more money from poor people and then give it back at the end of the year - after paying the salary of all the new bureaucrats you had to hire. Great idea.

Hello everyone, I see that you need some insight into how the online dating scene works. I think it's safe to say that there's a lot of bad dating platforms.

Once you find your partner, you'll say thanks.
I mean, if a part isn't supposed to be opened up to be serviced, then them doing so would increase liability in case they botch the repair or it later catches on fire. If the part was on a smaller scale, say replacing a mosfet on the ADAS unit when the service techs are only allowed to replace the full ADAS unit, would it be the same story?
Yes, you can. Go to https://www.amazon.com/gp/b2b/reports and you can generate a report of items, orders, returns, or refunds for a time period you select. It generates a .csv file.

The Web has a strange way of feeling both important and interesting while, on reflection, not really being either. There's some kind of time-eating black magic at work—and that's before something like TikTok or Facebook get involved, where there's no mystery about why they have the effect they do.
> the locals (at least the young folk who dabbled in fast food) much preferred Quick, which was a local fast food competitor.

Everyone knew Quick was far worth than McDonald's. It's just that they always had insane promotions for students. They were never really profitable and ended up being sold to Burger King (the French state owned part of them for a time through a serie of strange events).

> I never saw a single Subway in Grenoble, Paris, Tour or Lyon.

There are 36 Subway in Paris, 10 in Lyon, 3 in Tours and 2 in Grenoble.

But you are right that Subway is not really popular. McDonald's is where people go when they want to indulge for cheap. If you don't mind paying more, there are now better local burger chains in France large cities (Big Fernand notably) and I think Asian food remains generally more popular than American fast foods in Paris.
I hated the Reddit app so much I bought BaconReader.
Fees and chargebacks are the ones that usually come to mind. Oftentimes major credit card provider networks set a "minimum" interchange fee to disincentivize small transactions (a chargeback on a ten-cent transaction is often not worth the squeeze from a support/processing perspective).

Basically all major payment networks are facilitated by a middleman of some sort, and that middleman entity usually has operational costs that disincentivize them from offering micropayments.

Your point about a "balance" lands though - nothing stops NYT from making one "big" charge and then deducting from it other than consumer psychology (paying $10 up front can feel different than paying $0.05 at a time, for example).
The main reason flash was killed by Apple was also spite toward Adobe, they made valid excuses sure, but spite was the driving force

This is the sort of advertising that I have no problem with, and I really wish it were the dominant form.

As it is, every time I see an advertisement, I see a spy. There are some (like this) that are fine -- but most are not, so the only safe assumption is that all ads are signposts of danger.
There's absolutely zero clinical/valid evidence that Cherry MX switches do a shred of anything for RSI.

It's all hype. There's nothing medical behind any of it.

I find the extra key travel of those switches fatigues my fingers/arms far more and makes me feel far more like I'm going to have RSI.

I did have full blown RSI, and ditching mechanical keyboards was a key part of getting past it. Now that's just my anecdote, there's no evidence the mechanical switches are actually worse. But there's no evidence they're better either.

No one knows whether it's hard rebound or key travel or anything that actually causes the issues. And different RSIs are totally different. It's possible Mechanical switches could be better for carpal tunnel but worse for tendinitis or vise versa. But it doesn't seem like it has been studied.

My experience with medical treatment was doctors and PTs don't even know what the different types of keyboard switches are at all. They know about desk positioning and ergonomic shaped keyboards but switch type was not something that they had any advice on.
> I have to believe this is truly disruptive to the internet as we know it.

Maybe so. And maybe I'm all right with that. The ad-supported internet has turned into the ad-on-every-square-inch internet. We get lots of great content for free, but the amount of ads are overwhelming, distracting, annoying, and eventually disgusting. (Not necessarily the content of the ads, just the volume.)

Back to security: We have come to the place where really interesting content that asks you to turn off your ad blocker is now a phishing vector.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive." - C.S. Lewis

Freedom to do what you want with the device you purchased is a right that is not to be infringed upon, especially not for the reason "the users might hurt themselves".

Setting up a technically nontrivial flow to unlock the bootloader (e.g. connect the device to a machine with an SSH client, approve SSH connection request with scary message, SSH to the phone, execute a shell script that tells you that you shouldn't unlock this unless you know what you're doing, and after confirmation the script unlocks the bootloader) is more than enough of a deterrent for the vast majority of non-technical users.

The remainder are acceptable casualties - people who refuse to read warning labels are going to have other bad things happen to them anyway (drinking poisons, injuring themselves while working with power-tools) as a result of their foolishness, and the solution to that is not to take away the power-tools from the whole population, but to train them to read and follow warning labels in the first place.

Those technically skilled users who want to unlock their bootloaders (and, you know, do what they want with the devices they paid for) should not have to pay for the stupidity of a small minority of foolish people who refuse to read warning messages.

Facebook and Twitter ‘should use volunteer moderators’ says Jimmy Wales
Without a huge reduction in their use, it's really hard to square car use with human health. For example, most damaging air pollution, and the most microplastics in ocean near SF, comes from tires. EVs don't fix that. And then there are all the health problems that come from requiring people to use a car to visit friends, or get a loaf of bread, or really do anything. Cars are killing us in many ways.
