Also a Casio fan, having picked up a GWM5600BC Radio Controlled/Solar model in 2010. I'm wearing it to this day, having never changed the battery, taken out through all manner of wet and cold situations. I did sometimes have the problem of the battery running low in winter but switched off the wrist-flick light feature which constantly misfired under-sleeve and haven't had it since. Atomic clock updates daily are the cherry on top. Here's to the next decade!
Yes, my criticism is about 7GUIs as benchmark, that’s right there in my first post.
Oof good point. You don't want to be compared to the Tuskegee Study.
I was hoping that Koreader would be a solution but after hacking my Kindle I found that Koreader would keep randomly locking up and require me to hard reboot the Kindle (wasting several minutes, and it would lose my place in the book). I ended up buying a used Nook for around $15, the online service is discontinued but you can still sideload books (including epubs).
air resistance is too high on the height where asteroid can clip a mountain, for something to reach levant. it’d explode right there. But I could believe in asteroid fragmented much higher
Going with your logic, it's correct to say that it's a bad e-reader, because it's not an e-reader but a Kindle.
Distraction-free is not just an excuse, it's absolutely a valuable feature for me and a nontrivial number of other people.

It's fine if you don't like that feature, but not every customer would like them to "finish the software" by putting a highly functional browser on every e-reader. There's room in the market for both types of devices.

People aren’t saying why bother to apply, their saying why bother to promote such salaries as somehow common. More people applying doesn’t somehow increase the number of openings it just pushes down salaries at [big studio].

I mean Google getting 300 vs 200 applicants for an opening is kind of silly thing to promote.

Some of it might benefit AVR, which being 8-bit, shares some of the same problem space. But most of the changes we've made so far are of the kind where LLVM says "this doesn't happen", or "when it does, it's not important." And now the 6502 says, "uh, I actually do need that..."

So in absolute terms of maximizing the flexibility of LLVM, yes, the changes do seem to be broadly useful, but they're mostly in a direction that doesn't benefit most processors all that much.

For example, the 6502 really wants to replace stack usage with global usage; we do this absolutely whenever possible. Other targets actually run the opposite transformation; they replace global variables with stack ones! Placing things on the stack maximizes the chance it'll be in a fast CPU cache (or that it may be folded into a register; this does apply to us too.)
I bought a F-84W off eBay a few years ago, and can highly recommend it. Same innards as the F-91W and very similar look, but with slightly muted colours and a sleeker design.
Accounting for its own biases. Our brains are so good at automatically filling in the gaps it can be hard to know what is true and real and what the brain filled in on its own.
> - Requiring boosters to maintain "fully vaccinated" status undermines public trust in the vaccine's efficacy.

Booster shots confirm that the vaccine doesn't actually work. IMHO, vaccines for colds cannot work because "cold viruses" are fundamentally different than viral diseases like chickenpox or measles.

A very large percentage of the population thinks the public health authorities are full of it. I gently poke fun at people who half-heartedly take mask recommendations seriously [0].

> - While the long term prevention of COVID contraction and spread seems to be beyond these vaccines, they do significantly reduce the severity of a COVID infection.

I think the injections were only tested/deployed in the spring/summer, when virus 'cases' would be expected to decrease anyways. I expect the injections will be recognized as a total failure by next spring.

IMHO, the pandemic-as-vaccine-marketing-campaign was obvious from the beginning. It reminded me of the time I convinced my passenger that the moon was 'going away' [1].

> Something to remember when it comes to public health: you, the individual are unimportant. What matters is the herd. If that means sacrificing a few to save the many,

At least you're honest about this.

> governments will do it and lie to you the whole way if that is what is required to accomplish their goal.

The core lie is that SARS-CoV-2 is a super-virus that warrants extraordinary measures, when in fact the commonly-used treatment (oxygenation) for SARS-CoV-2 is what drives the deterioration [2]. Public Health should have stuck with the 2019 plan for pandemics, instead of tossing all the old recommendations.

If the Government had used the "pandemic" to address the 'obesity epidemic' it would have improved public health. But instead lockdowns worsened the obesity epidemic. Whoops.

Maybe you still think there's a ventilator shortage [3]? If so, take SCUBA diving classes. They'll teach you how to not blow up your lungs.

> In fairness to Apple, that’s not fair at all.

Why? Apple really pressures manufacturers to squeeze out its profit margin as much as possible. If the consequence of that is that factories make up the difference on their profit needs by overproducing & reselling those components, that seems like a natural penalty for Apple in the way it conducts business.
Guess who bought a Paperwhite 2 months ago?

Anyways, despite the new model I'm still fairly happy with my purchase. I don't read a lot (in fact I bought the Kindle just to use it while on a vacation), but I have to admit that epaper in general is something I never had the need to use - until I tried the Kindle.

The software still sucks though, but that will probably not change with an upgraded HW release :)

As other people mentioned here, Amazon is really locking in their users on formats that are beneficial to them only - but for its price I guess that these kind of limitations are okay-ish

Have you tried the KindleUnpack plugin? [0] I originally used Calibre's built-in "convert" option, but I found I've gotten much better results from KindleUnpack. It gives a much "cleaner" EPUB with less of the annoying Calibre watermarking in the CSS and such.

Absolutely! And since type checkers will likely never be able to implement support for __subclasscheck__ or __instancecheck__ the best we can ever do is annotations about the desired results of those methods. My only statement was that match isn't magic and you can do exhaustiveness checking (inasmuch as type checkers can detect it) without it.
And this doesn’t even take into account “in state” vs “out of state” tuition rates.

Movile Cave in Romania. "Discovered in 1986, it is notable for its unique groundwater ecosystem abundant in hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, but low in oxygen. Life in the cave has been separated from the outside for the past 5.5 million years and it is based completely on chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis. The cave is known to contain 57 animal species. Of these, 37 are endemic" ~Wikipedia.

An Update on Memory Safety in Chrome
It's both.

Most of RISC falls out of the ability to assume the presence of dedicated I caches. Once you have a pseudo Harvard arch and your I fetches don't fight with your D fetches for bandwidth in inner loops, most of the benefit of microcode is gone, and a simpler ISA that looks like vertical microcode makes a lot more sense. Why have a single instruction that can crank away for hundreds of cycles computing a polynomial like VAX did if you can just write it yourself with the same perf?
> We need shorter release cycles with less risky upgrade paths, not this nonsense.

Why do "we" need shorter release cycles?

> My issue was you saying Islam doesn't consider other religions infidels

I see the disconnect. I agree that they say everyone else are infidels, however there's some infidels who are more acceptable than others. My understanding has always been that the sentiment is a lot closer to "these infidels are so close to the truth!". Or, at least, close enough to allow marriage and coexistence. This point was intended to counter the comment that religions say others unilaterally wrong. In this case, there's some acceptance that the others are 'on the right track'.

The thing that drove me crazy about Tumblr is how you would find a post with some interesting content and scroll down to see if there was any more information about it.

The comment section would be thousands of lines long, but every line was something like:

User blahblah reblogged this!

User whatever likes this post.

User someone reblogged this!

You can't hold a discussion when your own system spams the comment section with irrelevant crap like this.

There was also the meme of the "shitty Tumblr gif" thanks to their fairly low image size limits.
Yes I have been to actual shanty towns including in a very poor latin american country and the middle east. I don't know why people here have such a hard on for there being something wrong with the people in trailer homes and shanty towns. They seemed like people who were just in different housing than some of the rest of us to me and I'm very glad their shanty town / trailer was available to them, because otherwise they'd be completely without shelter.
or rather, why you can't sue them if they fail to protect you, which is slightly different. It is still their role to protect you.

Kind of like it is a doctor's role to try to cure you but you can't sue the doctor if they don't succeed.

I did that for about 70 books recently. I purchased a scanner for very little (about 200 dkk, no idea what it would cost in USD), put it in the USB on my laptop and opened a spreadsheet. The handheld scanner automatially "enters" a newline once it has written the ISBN number, so the only thing you have to do is move onto the next book. You can scan books faster than you can pull them out and put them back.

Actually getting the book info from the ISBN was very time consuming, I didn't know about Library Thing.

You can almost certainly use a smartphone, but that will be a lot slower, comes with the risk of dropping it and then you don't have a bar code scanner left over for other projects.
It may have been more accurate when it was published in 2014 but it’s definitely not more accurate now.
I'm not sure I would agree with New Cooperative's assessment that this could be a bigger impact than the pipeline attack earlier this year. They are the 51st largest farm cooperative in the US...compared with the Colonial Pipeline providing 45% of the fuel on the East Coast. Food spoilage is one thing, but the impact of not having fuel caused not only shortages but panic as well.

Strange place for you to force a Hillary mention. If you'd read the article you'd understand that if you want to politicize this you can start with Trump:

> Israel had paused the sabotage and assassination campaign in 2012, when the United States began negotiations with Iran leading to the 2015 nuclear agreement. Now that Mr. Trump had abrogated that agreement, the Israelis wanted to resume the campaign to try to thwart Iran’s nuclear progress and force it to accept strict constraints on its nuclear program.

Understanding probabilities intuitively
Recently our client (a manufacturer looking to partner with commercial real estate developers) built over a 10M+ sales pipeline in a new market in 26 days.
I’d like to share the exact process we used, because if you’re like my client, he started his business for two things: legacy and freedom. Not inconsistent growth and constant headaches.
So without further ado, here’s the exact 6-step process my client used to build a $10M+ sales pipeline in only 26 days, in a brand new market…
Step 1. Develop Your Avatar
As always, we began by defining the ideal client avatar in detail, including both demographics and psychographics, to craft a story-driven message that resonates.
Step 2. Develop Your List
After defining our client's avatar, we produced a high quality, pre-vetted list of 500 perfect prospects that matched our client's targeting criteria.
Step 3. Market of One Research & Strategy Development
We researched our client's industry and competitive landscape in order to identify the opportunity gaps for them to make the competition irrelevant.
Step 4. Develop Your Market of One Positioning, Messaging & Copywriting
After research, we refined our client's positioning and messaging from "a market of many" to a "market of one" and wrote a hyper-personalized sales outreach sequence designed to stand out from the crowd and generate responses from qualified leads.
Step 5. Launch Your Business Development Campaign
We launched a multi-step business development test campaign to a small list of 500 targeted prospects in order to generate interest in our client's service offerings.
Step 6. Respond to Leads, Follow Up & Set Appointments
After prospects responded, our team responded, pre-qualify leads based on our client's criteria and set warm discovery calls on our client's calendar.
There you have it - the exact process our client used to build a $10M+ sales pipeline in only 26 days.

Fair enough.

I can see this being useful for someone with Parkinson's or even someone who just has trouble regularly lifting their arm (they can lift a book and place it, but flipping the pages would just tire their arm out). I now wish there was a straightforward remote control you could buy with the Kindle.
Some history on the site:

Only some 7 years ago, this very area was targeted to be the heart of a new stadium development for the Major League Soccer. It was going to be the West Village home....for NYC FC soccer franchise

It made sense: Pier40 city park, across the street from 550 washington St, was basically a decreipt property stuck in time as was the rest of the neighborhood. Then hurricane Sandy hit. The damage closed the Pier40 building for almost half a year. Some support did arrive from Sandy hurricane aid, which ironically did more to help the building than any other city park initiative.

Post-Sandy, Pier 40 park seemed destined to stumble along.

Then came the MSL. They were convinced they could sell the idea to the site: redevelop moribund Pier40 and 550 Washington St next to it. Everyone seemed excited.

However, they did not count on a surprise rival: parents of the little league baseball kids that regularly play at Pier40 turf fields (as does DUSC soccer kids). They protested. Loudly. Some of them likely well connected.

The project then died and moved elsewhere.

Now, some of those parents live in the area. They are now looking to benefit enormously from this Google development.

Kudos for them. They earned it

This is not to say anything nice about the Axis powers, but more to dispel the illusion that the American military were some kind of heroic force.
I didn't say that. I'm saying that if you don't like how the device operates you can still use it in other ways. If the Kindles forced WiFi to be active and connected to Amazon servers, I'd see your point.

Big Mac pricing varies throughout Europe. Dutch McDonald's employees are paid way less than the $22 the Danes get, but our Big Macs are more expensive.

There is definitely a tradeoff to be made because nothing ever comes for free. However, that 4.73 billion dollar profit can give every one of their 210k employees each an extra 20k per year (regardless of the average income in their respective countries) before it would even turn a loss based on 2020 numbers. And that's not even taking into account the fact that 2020 profits were significantly down.

In a fair system, increases in price would pay for wage increases and vice versa. In practice, price increases flow towards the top.
