Look on the bright side, housing prices would come down to more affordable levels and wages would likely rise in some sectors. And less environmental impact.
I don’t think that’s it. This was on a new HN post on the front page.

Resoling running shoes has been around since I started paying attention to such things in the early 80s. (I'm more of a Shoo Goo guy myself.) One example:

Does anyone else see the tax collector of Prince John from 1970s Robinhood? Here to steal from the people to give to the government.
I am guessing extra computation? Maybe this sort of technology is in infancy?

The real interesting take away is it is always a mouse and cat game. The hackers will adapt, instead of reading memory they might just read packets, or use a m.2 memory reader card, because they have to -- and so will the anti-hackers. I am interesting in machine learning to simulate COD -- I saw a video of it and it's like a young child was playing the game -- not good but obviously on the path to competence.
>Literally (not nearly) impossible to detect, there is no difference between this and just aiming by hand. The video is already out of the box, and the USB HID packets look the same as the real mouse's commands.

doesn't "line" made of mouse coordinates look oddly for human?
Texas should pass a law declaring unborn children are legally Uyghurs, and thereby render them invisible to Apple.
> It's baffling that google are letting these ones slip.

Why would it be baffling? Google’s spam filters have always been extremely low quality, even mistaking email generated by Google itself as spam. They simply don’t have the pride of craftsmanship to improve it.
Exactly. I'm actually surprised that it's not standard policy to block ads at most companies.

Browsing sites at work is a frequent reminder of why I block ads at home.
That doesn't seem to be true in Japan yet. Housing and land are relatively affordable and yet they maintain very low birth rates and most people choose to live in large urban areas instead of the country. What would be different about the West?

I don't think this is true. Every single country is on the decline. They may sill grow in this century, but it's very likely that it would stop in 50 years.

As a buyer of both the original Freestyle Pro and the Edge (first edition, pre-rgb), I endorse this message. Either keyboard will likely take your pain away, but the Edge is the better option.

The Edge has everything that was missing from the Pro. It truly is the perfect keyboard, in my opinion: split, backlit, mech switches, fully (and easily) programmable, multiple layouts, internal memory, extra macro keys. What more could one ask from a keyboard...? The only shortcoming is that the keycap profile is custom, so it's hard to pimp if you are into color schemes, but that's it. I don't understand why they chose to market it to gamers, when it's the perfect hacker's tool, but I guess them kids are more willing to splash the cash these days.

At this point, is it worth it to turn it into a criminal case where you fight them for the cash? They're trying to keep the cash inside of civil rules. what happens if you physically refuse to let them have your items? Because they're yours and you believe they're attempting to steal from you?
Thanks for that connection. Quite interesting!

> In some Hindu texts, Agneya is considered the most powerful form of "holy energy" ever to have been created. The "Agneya Astra" is believed to have been the most powerful of the ancient nuclear energies and was often invoked by the most elite of Gods to ensure the victory of good forces. Hindu texts associate the Agneya Astra as a near infinite energy source with the power, brilliance, heat, and light exceeding those of a billion trillion Suns.
Again, my comment about "no one" was in the context of ads personalization, as in "no other part of google that might want to consume the model for broader use".

If we are going to do "threat modeling", we should also talk about the risk of nation state actors penetrating Google, or compromising your browser and getting access to your gmail that way. Or an accidental bug that changes everyone's password to be 12345. Yes, or the federal government could subpoena it.

Lots of things could be true and possible, but none of them are relevant in a discussion that's about the _internally permitted use of data within google_.

It's dishonest to offer that up as some kind of objective measure of public opinion on the law. An obvious partisan survey [1], just look at the questions:

> Texas has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country, and laws could get even more restrictive due to the makeup of the current U.S. Supreme Court. Generally speaking, do you think that laws regarding abortion access in Texas should be more restrictive, less restrictive, or kept the same as current state law?

We used to call that a leading question.

The Texas legislature voted this into law with a sizeable majority. If the large majority of people are against this law, they should organize, vote new people in, and have it overturned.

The problem with liberals is they're just terrible politicians. Everything is an appeal to the courts or their mega-corporate employers to help establish agendas instead of doing the only thing that works: getting bills signed.

Yes, but fortunately on a secondary account. My main account still seems to be safe from it, but my secondary account has been getting spammed to hell the past week. CCs are the same username @ aol.com and other domains, which is amusing because those aren't domains I've ever used (with that username, and I haven't used AOL since 1995 or so).
Do you really think so? Both parties have assiduously avoided making any material legislative moves to address any issues raised by the BLM movement. Democrats have been more eager to make symbolic gestures (renaming things, removing statues, kneeling in the Rotunda wearing kente cloth) but I can't think of one substantive bill that was passed because the BLM movement championed it.
I don't think the fact that the government loses most of the CAF cases means this isn't a problem. Winning the case will cost the person money and time, and they will be without their money for that time.

It's bizarre you're getting downvoted, since last week CA reported having record job recovery compared to the rest of the nation (https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-09-17/california...).

Notably, on a county-breakdown, unemployment rates are highest in rural counties where anti-vax settlements are pervasive. (https://edd.ca.gov/newsroom/unemployment-august-2021.htm)

Also notable: the CA labor department hasn't actually released an update for September, or a PR release about jobless claims through Sep 18, so I'm curious as to where the Mercury News got its information.
I take offense to this, and the assumption that I hold this view because "because nobody’s coming for your rights in particular." How do you know that? To what "rights" do you refer?

I, like you, am a resident of Texas. I think for Apple to do what the article is suggesting is taking away my right as a Texan to have my representatives craft laws. Politicians need the consent of the governed, and now apparently, the consent of Bay Area corporations who are decidedly progressive.
The conference and some sorts of legal expenses are pretty legitimate expenditures if you operate with the opinion that going to a conference makes you a more productive employee. Training employees definitely shouldn't be double taxed (we might even want to subsidize it as a society) but it's a hard area of activities to define.

Legal expenses brought on solely due to your employment (i.e. the rando manager at dominion that a bunch of people sued last year) also shouldn't be considered individual benefits. Employers should never have the ability to shift liabilities onto employees without really good cause (i.e. gross negligence). That's why, if there's an accident at an autoshop with a lift and you're injured you're generally better off suing the shop rather than the employee.
How were you able to invest, if you don't mind me asking?
Coming at this from a personal-choice-oriented perspective, the answer for those women is not to get an abortion for themselves regardless of whether the law in their state allows it.

Of course, that doesn’t solve the problem for those who strongly prefer to live in a state where nobody’s allowed to have an abortion.
This article explains a bit the findings:

https://www.newsecuritybeat.org/2013/08/demographic-transiti...

Tl;dr Demographers have previously assumed that since Asia followed the same path, the European model of demographic transition was a universal truth. However they underestimated the impact of cultures (in Africa having large families is considered has an assurance as if one of the children succeed the parents will be protected), religion (in Islam even if contraception is legal, one need a valid reason and procreation is heavily encouraged), traditions, genetic differences (I think I read somewhere the age of puberty is a bit lower for people of West African descent) etc.

The Texas population is almost purple, but the Texas legislature isn't close to purple. Thanks to the legislature's ability to choose their voters (gerrymandering) that's not a situation that's going to change any time soon. Add in the voter suppression laws they've also recently passed and you can be sure Texas is going to be Red for a good long time.

On another note, I know people who were thinking about moving to Texas. They're not now. On the flip side I know people who moved to Austin in the past two years. They're now looking at leaving. One has already done so. This is where renting and working from home is a blessing - you can quickly change residence.

Pidgin has a feature that notifies you when someone starts typing at you or goes from "Away" to "Online". Kind of weirds people out when you message them just before they message you, or you message them the instant they sit down at their PC.

The reasons I own and drive a car would be impossible to meet by anything except self-driving personal transit pods that can link up with other pods to form dynamic trains. That's the sci-fi future I'd like to live in, where I have a private pod, but if I want I can connect to a train for a long distance ride, use the dining car, meet other people along the way, etc. Kind of like how ferries work now, except you could stay in your car if you want, and faster.

The problem might be that they can't or don't want to set up an infrastructure to offer support to that many developers and companies using it, so they rather squeeze as much money as they can to the few companies buying it because they're forced to in order to maintain older projects.

The other odd thing about placenta: "The placenta is unique in that it is an organ which arises from the tissue of two genetically distinct organisms; part of the placenta develops from the tissue of the mother’s uterine wall, while another part develops from the fetus’ own tissue. After the blastocyst which will develop into the fetus makes contact with the uterine wall, blastocyst and maternal tissue grow together to form a single, cooperating organ that links the two together."

I don't know whether mothers think of the placenta as their own body part or part of the baby, but personally I think it is in poor poor taste to eat baby parts.
> Please elaborate how complaining about the software being incomplete

Did they sell you a device promising a vibrant app ecosystem? Did they tell you it was a general purpose web connected computer? No, they sell it as an electronic notepad with syncing capability. Just because you think that is an “incomplete” feature set doesn’t change the fact that what it’s sold to do it does, and does it moderately well. Are you the type of person who goes into a vegetarian restaurant and rails on them for having an “incomplete menu” because they don’t offer filet mignon cooked to your liking?
I'm guessing governments will find a way to relieve pressure to educate and invest in children at some point, starting with China's attempt to curb private education, but that's not enough. They will have to dismantle the public education industrial complex as well. After a while parents will not consider childrens education to be too much effort or too costly and they can start producing more again. Unfortunately my generation will be too old to reproduce by the time this happens
The best thing in this book is all the information on how pilots have checklists for everything. The plane that landed in the Hudson is used as an example and the checklist for total engine failure used in the book is one of my favorites.

In big bold letters at the top is "FLY THE AIRPLANE" along with each of the things the pilot should check.

Takeaway is the reminder in the moment that you are trained for this and the checklist itself is exactly what checklists are for -- don't miss a step. Nothing more, nothing less.

The MS Natural split keyboards are easy to find but aren't satisfyingly clicky mechanical keys just like olden times.

How long do these last?

Edit: "Ergonomic keyboard" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergonomic_keyboard > #Split_keyboard:

> Split keyboards group keys into two or more sections. Ergonomic split keyboards can be fixed, where you cannot change the positions of the sections, or adjustable. Split keyboards typically change the angle of each section, and the distance between them. On an adjustable split keyboard, this can be tailored exactly to the user. People with a broad chest will benefit from an adjustable split keyboard's ability to customize the distance between the two halves of the board. This ensures the elbows are not too close together when typing. [2]

You may say that Wittgenstein in his later phase (W II) was more interested in pulling the threads, when he explored concepts like pain as a stand-in for internal evidence (or, as W I put it: the mystical). However, this was also on an entirely different page, as in comprehending the subject as a social process.

Mind that I do not mean to suggest any kind of parallelism in a strict sense (hence the emoticon.)

Regarding the lost cause as a distraction, I'm not so sure about that. I guess, Wittgenstein would have insisted on this being about all, which was important to us, but nevertheless being out of reach of any kind of theory in the strict sense.

(And this is, because – according to Wittgenstein – it is essentially outside of any reality, which is accessibly to us. On the other hand, it may have still reality beyond this, "The contemplation of the world sub specie aeterni is its contemplation as a limited whole." [6.45], "Die Anschauung der Welt sub specie aeterni ist ihre Anschauung als-begrenztes-Ganzes." However, there are no legitimate question that may be actually posed regarding this limited whole, which is reflected just as a feeling from the inside; hence, the proposed riddle – which is really about existence – doesn't exist on any level of disciplined discourse.)

Regarding evolutionary fitness, there may have been a niche: According to the Tractatus, the mystical arises, which might have been further explored by some theory of emergence. But this developed only much later and – as far as I know it — a connection was never made.

Presumably the string literals are zero-terminated but other slices aren't? In a language that doesn't have safety promises that feels like a bug waiting to happen, somebody's code "works" with all the string literal test inputs but alas, real slices sometimes aren't followed by a zero terminator and it blows up nastily.

And then also the same misfire can hurt in the other direction. Since Rust's str is really a UTF-8 slice, the zeroes are just zeroes, valid UTF-8 characters, you can ask if a Rust str contains(0 as char) because that's a completely reasonable question - but if your code thinks zero might be a "terminator" it can't actually handle arbitrary UTF-8 this way.

Actually I think this makes the call for an actual str built-in even more appropriate because Zig's owners would need to wrestle with this and work out what they intended whereas just saying []const u8 allows you to hide inconsistencies in the libraries and people will get bitten.
Ah I see. A friend of mine who definitely has the money and makes it as a developer bought the real base model with baseline storage, and it's a bit funny how little he can do with it.

Didn't have the budget at the time to upgrade past that though, for the absurd prices you stated.
