That may well be fixable, case of what is the resonant frequency of the water protection an tuning this to induce resonance to overload the sensor - may well work. Though inducing resonance in the glass screen may well achieve the results.

I'd also be interested in testing this with contact mics as from my experiences - this may not work upon those at all.
Nothing would make me more demoralised than being given pizza and being told it's a party.

Pizza parties are for children.[1]

The whole concept of a "pizza party" is some Silicon Valley crap created to justify working devs into the ground then giving them pizza to "build team spirit".

And yes, Amazon's pizza based team sizing is very prominent in my disdain for all pizza based employee engagement.

Edit: for the love of Jesus, the fact that "pizza based employee engagement" is very real in software shows some contempt for us.

* Work unpaid overtime, hey we ordered pizza!

* Come into the office for Corporate Mandated Fun Day, there'll be pizza!

* Do a hackathon and don't sleep for 36 hours so we can borrow your ideas, we even provide free pizza!

* Your team delivered a well engineered and tested product that will bring in an estimated $2.4m in the first year, you bloody bet we ordered some pizza!

And some wedges, with the fancy sauces, you deserve it!
>Of course, Gates and Buffett would be significantly closer to Musk in the wealth rankings were it not for the duo’s philanthropic giving. Both have given away tens of billions of dollars to charitable causes over the years, while Musk has been criticized for not giving away more of his massive fortune.

Also Tesla’s P/E is 422 (!) and Amazon is 58. I suspect the weighing machine phase of the market won’t be as kind to Elon as the voting machine phase has been and his tweet of a silver medal icon to Bezos is going to look even more like peak hubris.

When minimum wage goes up, only people making between the former minimum wage and the new minimum wage get more money. Everyone else makes the same. This means increasing minimum wage by 10% might only see an overall increase in the cost of goods and services of 3%.

An increase in minimum wage means those getting the 10% increase have a 7% better quality of life. Those who already made more than the new minimum wage now have a 3% quality of life decrease.
I think a part of the liquidity is provided by Tether, but the "most of the liquidity" rhetoric rings false.

Honestly, crypto might crash now, sure, but long term I am confident we will see a crypto currency emerge as the global reserve currency. It just fits too well for it not to.
Which comments? The only comments here either agree, find nothing new (possibly due to the age of this knowledge), or argue that Mao should be no role model. Seems like you are looking to start an argument based on something that isn't happening.

The only thing you could discover is, that it's not indeed a natural RNG, but a PRNG.
Already changed that to "is rarely truly constant". Also, that flash can be written, even if not during the lifetime of a process.

> That's also why you want to use const whenever possible so you are not wasting precious RAM.

My point is to not overthink placement of "const" in function parameters, local variables, etc. Because those don't make any difference to the compiled output. I already mentioned string literals as one type of "reasonably constant" data, and of course any other thing that goes in the .rodata section (such as globally declared const variables) is as much constant.

To wrap it up, the "const" keyword totally makes sense in global declarations to make them go to .rodata. Using const for type-checking purposes can get quirky on the other hand.
Well, objectively, looking at that page or for example the grouper page (https://incommon.org/software/grouper/) I fail to get /exactly/ where grouper fits in, what it does and doesn’t do, and just generally why I would or wouldn’t choose it in my application.

Likely, busy people don’t spend a lot of time digging in to software that doesn’t effectively communicate clearly what it is, unless they know from a trusted colleague, friend, or other resource that the software/tool will be essential or a major win for them.

That’s a long-winded way to say “marketing” :)
It is a lie. The company does not "defy" anything about the opposing side of the minimum-wage debate. It is a deliberate and calculated lie about the characterization of the minimum wage debate.

Unless there happens to be a major group I've never heard of in that state which opposes legal minimum wages and also wants legislation to outlaw companies giving pay rises to their lowest paid workers.
Thank you for the unique perspective!

I've seen some neat code editors on iOS/Android that do some fun things like:

There seems to be no reason we can't also have that here.

What are you doing on your laptop where you can see such a big difference? My x86 laptop (Purism Librem 14) has an all-day battery and plenty more performance than I need. But I don't do things like compile code all day. If I were running a really big compute task I'd use a desktop or cluster.
Lol. Texas is the state of freedom for only a select group.

Remember the argument how businesses were “private property” and could refuse service? Fair enough, I’ll go along with that. Except now, private businesses are not allowed to set rules on immunization.

Texas is the opposite of free market, just look at its recent energy crisis.
The ethics of using risky dangerous drugs on children (who grow out of GD over 50% of the time) is pretty clear cut to me.

You risk permanent bone damage for the minority of cases where it has some advantages? The "advantages" are apparently easier transgender surgery, which in its current form is essentially a disaster. The operation is brutal and the results are rarely good. The majority of the time there are serious, life-changing consequences. All this risk for something that I think even transgender people would agree isn't there yet in terms of utility nor aesthetics.

After all that, the suicidality of transgender people post-operation is virtually the same as pre-operation.

For those reasons, I find it extremely hard to support the use of risky drugs and a very rocky pathway for children who have GD. The fact transgender people tend to ignore these risks, paper over them and encourage questioning people onto this path isn't a good look.

The drugs are dangerous, irreversible and have a very questionable upside. Full stop.
So I read the first sentence and my immediate reaction was "Well I don't. And I'm not sure anyone has ever expressed that opinion to me" and I stopped reading.

We can define "man" as someone's mental state.

Or we can define "man" as having XY chromosomes.

Alternatively the argument could be about the legitimacy of the definitions themselves. Was liberty taken to redefine a word without standing?
If your thinking is "yes, I'll make money by selling firearms (components) to people looking for a cheap untraceable gun", then you've basically decided you're comfortable with the risk of being found guilty of accessory to murder, in order to make a couple hundred bucks. Because of course "untraceable" doesn't mean the person you sold the gun to can't tell the police who made it, for instance in a plea bargain.

That alone puts such business far, far outside the comfort zone of any normal 3D printing hobbyist.
No.

> The very same Apple employees who were demanding that Apple fight Texas’ new abortion laws were also demanding that Apple support Palestine — where abortion is 100% illegal.

I can find no articles linking Janneke Parrish to opinions on Palestine, so I'm not sure how that's relevant.

(and of course this is a vapid test for sincerity of beliefs. Are all people who want to ban abortion but supportive of Israel similarly insincere and disingenuous?)

Besides the Iraq thing someone mentioned, Gaddafi in Libya got taken out right after he spoke about wanting to sell oil in euros.

But most importantly, there's Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has no military except the US military, and Saudi Arabia prices oil in dollars. It isn't conceivable that they could price oil in another currency and still receive protection from the US (i.e., continue to exist).

The US kind of "has" to continue this arrangement because if the world stops trading oil in dollars, the demand for dollars plummets and the dollar crashes because there are just too many dollars out there. The Fed can't "suck in" all that excess money without causing a severe recession/depression.

Fascinating and I like how cheap it can be made - those ultrasonic emitters are right of a HC-SR04 by looks of it and those are cheap as (got half dozen for £1 each few months back).

I did start a project to jam gopro's (audio and visual recording) - was combination of IRDA emitters and resonance inducing the housing - but this is less niche and focused. My design was to use a hat with sensor emitters attached. Though canned progress after friend asked if it could disable a police body-cam, of which I said no and yet it probably would and morally weighed up the pro's and con's and canned that.
Oh yeah. There is an overproduction of elites in Korea. If what you mean by "they all want to be upper professions of society" etc.

Being a labourer is often highly regarded in lots of low population or first world countries. Not in Korea. Not even without significant immigration. They are just all sardines trying to squeeze into the upper jobs. No one wants to be left out and certainly doesn't consider it a career path.

>Where would you say this pressure comes from and is communicated?

Their workforce and/or lack off work stability, almost entirely.

>This seems contradictory.

If you take it out of context..... yes. But I just said that it'd be financially beneficial to have a kid. But then also introduces instability that might pull the rug underneath when your financially beneficial decision removes your larger chunk of income.

i.e. babies are very affordable, and you get benefits that aren't bad. But also this coincides with losing your job due to having a baby. It's not contradictory as they're both alternate directions. Your job is stable whilst having a baby AND you have a baby? You're benefiting. You have a baby and it ruins your income stream? Those extra savings from having a baby are cancelled out.

There's plenty of good socialist critique of bureaucracy and the managerial class done by thinkers who weren't mass murderers and dictators. Mao is one of the last places I would look for a critique of Stalinist bureaucracy.

Let's just start with, say, Milovan Djilas, Leon Trotsky, Hal Draper, Raya Dunayevskaya, Tony Cliff, Ernest Mandel, I could go on...
If your motivation is to be able to work "at a FAANG or any of these beautiful environments with amazing people dedicated to the craft of engineering", then maybe it's more useful to think of the advice in terms of, making it easy to get a job "where your job really is just engineering and good engineering is recognized and rewarded". Or is this not actually your motivation and it's more to lightly mock people who grinded to get such jobs? If you've never worked at a company that has amazing people, that was a beautiful environment, that had dedication to craft, then it might be difficult to believe that such companies do exist. But once you enjoy it and recognize it, then that just becomes your standard for companies, so you'll only interview at companies that you think might meet that standard, you carefully evaluate them during the process, and you switch if you find that not to be the case.
That would depend on the definition being used for "man".

If the definition of "man" is someone's mental state, then yes there may have been billions of pregnant men throughout history.

I read Thinking in Systems a few years ago, in part because Bill Gates recommended it. (I had seen it elsewhere too, probably on Hacker News.)

As I recall, there are problems with the book, because the author actually passed away before it was finished.

The biggest problem IMO is that it doesn't adequately address modeling error. It barely mentions it at all. It simply introduces models that were simulated on a computer, and talks about their consequences. And I remember there being a tenuous connection to the original research, which is notable because I believe the author's group did a lot of it.

So I would be interested in some other high level / overview books on the same subject. I'm not sure I got a lot out of this book. I think the main thesis was to focus on "points of leverage" when trying to change systems. I think it is valuable to hammer that point home, but it's hardly novel, and it wasn't justified with practice. I felt like it was too focused on simulations, and confused the simulations with reality.

Interesting! I have questions.

* Did he have to start off in the 2k range before he had the skills/brand to make the 50k watches?
* Did he take any steps to avoid getting trapped in the 2k market (too busy making 2k watches to make a 50k watch)
* Were there any intermediate steps up to 50k or was it 2k->50k directly?
* Are the inputs for a 50k watch significantly more expensive?

I imagine you won't have the answers (unless you can dig up the interview), but what a fascinating story with lessons for software. I've read plenty about avoiding the $9/month SaaS customer in favor of the $500/month or $10k/month customer, but it is interesting to see it play out in a different, consumer focused space.
>The fastest programmers writes quality code

I've spent effective years of my life unfucking code written by fast programmers because no one can extend, change or understand their code.

As far as I am concerned the probability that a fast programmer also writes quality code is approximately 0.

There are outliers out there. But if you tell me someone is a fast programmer I'm not betting they write quality code.
Likewise, The Last Kingdom TV show covers these characters probably even more - Æthelflæd is in all 5 seasons [1] (although season 5 isn't out yet), and there's a lot of focus on Mercia.

Serverless and Databaseless Event Sourcing
“ Most people agree that the hit-to-kill phenomenon stems at least in part from perverse laws on victim compensation. In China the compensation for killing a victim in a traffic accident is relatively small—amounts typically range from $30,000 to $50,000—and once payment is made, the matter is over. By contrast, paying for lifetime care for a disabled survivor can run into the millions. The Chinese press recently described how one disabled man received about $400,000 for the first 23 years of his care. Drivers who decide to hit-and-kill do so because killing is far more economical. Indeed, Zhao Xiao Cheng—the man caught on a security camera video driving over a grandmother five times—ended up paying only about $70,000 in compensation.”

Interesting to see economics play a life and death role. It’s analogous to the millions of forced gender selective abortions in China due to the experienced lower economic value of girls and the 1-child policy.
