Luckey alleges that reporters were there and ready to cover it in case he lost. So there was still interest, just not interest in anything that was good for him.

This is pretty much a statement of the problem right here. If your goal in reading the news is to be entertained, then it's not a problem. But if your goal is to become informed, then this bias against a certain kind of story is presenting a warped version of reality to you while pretending that it is the truth.

It's not a vast conspiracy. It's just incentives at work, but the outcome is lamentable.
The network you're on has theoretical full access to everything. If the network is hostile you're screwed, because even with the improved protection in 4G/5G they can still easily force a downgrade attack.
That’s not entirely true. Some government forms where I live are shared in a PDF format but are only downloaded and displayed properly when they are opened in Acrobat, and otherwise display a page telling you to download acrobat.
I suspect this allows the form to be updated, and see why it might be done, but I still find it very annoying.
Java is that language though! It has primitives and primitive arrays and the language is built around many comfortable ways of using them compared to something "a bit more high level" like a python, javascript, or ruby; but you get to keep your compacting GC, chunky reflection, runtime introspection, compared to a C, C++ or rust.

Primitives don't play well with the generics though, for decent enough reasons, so the standard library leaves out many conveniences that you can pull in as needed. Of course we're excited about them playing well together, but the sweet spot in the design space is still being worked out. We call that effort ValueTypes, lol. (well sorta. there's more to value types than just primitive specialization but i digress)

I get that teasing jabs at java are always and fashion but consider that for many, it persists because it is a bit of a sweet-sport language. I think Go succeeds when it does for precisely the same reasons.
The problem here is each political leaning will say the same of the other regarding misinformation - which is always subjective.

The only difference is that one side has staked their existence on upholding free speech, to never silence the other, but not vice-versa. It’s not a fair fight.

I always think: “how do you get to Hitler’s Germany”. And it doesn’t come from the group that upholds free speech.

It comes from the group that says censorship has become an unfortunate necessity.

We should respect those that hold true to principles that do a disservice to themselves.

Copying and transporting data is a great example of this. That used to be extremely expensive, but today it is all but free. Today you can in seconds copy the equivalent of all books stored in the world 100 years ago and send it to the other side of the world, and the amount of money that cost you is less than a seconds worth of work.
> Jokes aside. I know a person named exactly like me just with a small diacritic difference. I realize they use secondary identifiers but this is identity theft waiting to happen.

I don't see how that really makes identity theft any worse. There's already a ton of people with exactly identical names, and differing only in diacritics isn't any worse than that is.
The iPod as a clone of existing technology is uncharitable to the point of being foolish about it. Like so many successful products implementation is more important than a bill of materials.

The click wheel UI of the iPod made its large storage actually useful rather than just being a bullet point on a box. If you had a thousand songs loaded on your iPod it was pretty easy to navigate to any album, artist, or playlist.

Most other PMPs (even after the iPod) had UIs that were basically lifted from the Walkman. Navigating HDD players was a pain in the ass.

Besides the click wheel UX the iPod had iTunes doing the heavy lifting of library management. It made editing and adding metadata to songs, which helped organize your library, very easy. That same organization completely carried over to the iPod. iTunes also supported automatically syncing an attached iPod so if you ripped a CD it appeared on your iPod after plugging it in.

Most of the competing HDD based PMPs were obsessed with just acting as mass storage devices when attached to a computer. So they had painful on-device UIs dealing with the multitude of differing naming conventions and poorly tagged files.

So while HDD players weren't invented by Apple they:

1. Made an HDD player small enough to fit in a pocket competing in dimensions with Flash based players.

2. Made a UI that allowed easy navigation of a large library.

3. Used a high speed connection that made it trivial to fill the large storage. This same connection also charged the device.

4. Had a very responsive UI not limited to the seek speed of the internal HDD. The iPod let iTunes do the hard work of creating the on device database. The iPod OS didn't need to go read metadata from every file to populate menus or display song information. It did the hard work once (in iTunes) and just used the database for everything but audio data from then on.
It's not a menu, it's a place where you go to get a clean, safe fix for your opioid addiction.

You get what you get, the best opioid or analogue that the doctors decide to give you, possibly with a slow release mechanism that avoids the rush but allows you function throughout the day, hold a job, not stick the first AIDS-infected needle in your vein etc.
I actually think the American experiment needs to end. What we have was never democracy nor was it meant to be. America was simply a playground for European nobles to send their second and third sons off to either make a fortune or die; then those surviving second and third sons decided to form a government that their families couldn’t claim as their own.

We need a new American experiment that is actually government by the people. One that doesn’t take ownership of other people as a founding principle (but you know, it’s cool because we took it back).
A couple things come to mind here:

The cultivar of tomato determines how "stiff" it is, and somewhat how long until ripe. A different cultivar might result in a slight change in percentage damaged.

Heat ruining the crop? But tomatoes love heat. I know rot can set in much quicker as the tomato matures, if rot or nutrient deficiency was already an issue; for pristine 'maters, they can sit around for weeks at room temperature with no issue. Perhaps part of the issue is tomato health, and another part is ventilation / passive temperature regulation. So maybe someone could construct a cheap filler material that promotes airflow and put between the baskets.

The basket design could be altered to allow tighter packing of baskets. Currently they are circular, and so don't fit very tightly against the truck or each other. If they can be packed tighter, the baskets will help reinforce each other and prevent deflection. Square baskets may be best. There are many different designs for square woven baskets. In addition they can be made smaller which will provide more reinforcement material per pound tomato (this may increase the basket price somewhat but also reduce loss, making it a net gain).
Since M1 is designed to low power (but still impressive performance), it's unsure that M1 Max machine getting very hotter like Intel era or not. It uses 145W AC adapter so I suspect they getting very hotter if it utilized extremely.
It isn't even a partial retort because no part of the OP's point relies on there being no instances of attempts to improve things. And even if it did then you could take counter-examples for the UK and USA as well.
It would help for sure. My cousin died not because of overdose but because he shared needles and contracted hepatitis which turned into hepatoma. If safe injection sites had been available he might still be alive.
can we bring back RSS already? it wasn't broken.

Lots of answers at link, most amusing one is:

> The total mass of the black hole must reside, completely, and only, in the self-energy of the curvature of spacetime around the hole!

> The answer to your question, then, is this: information about the mass of a black hole doesn't have to escape from within the black hole because there is no mass inside the black hole. All the mass is distributed in the field outside the hole. Therefore, no information needs to escape from inside

It seems the general answer is that fields and particles are not the same thing, and black holes can generate fields...

Since time stops within a black hole singularity, is entering one a good tip for escaping the end of the universe?

Below is some interesting background, on how a field is static, already defined at the creation of the black hole, and particles, if they happen, are just communicating changes in the field:

> A particle is an excitation of a field, not the field itself. In QED, if you set up a static central charge, and leave it there a very long time, it sets up a field E=kqr2. No photons. When another charge enters that region, it feels that force. Now, that second charge will scatter and accelerate, and there, you will have a e−−>e−+γ reaction due to that acceleration, (classically, the waves created by having a disturbance in the EM field) but you will not have a photon exchange with the central charge, at least not until it feels the field set up by our first charge, which will happen at some later time

> Now, consider the black hole. It is a static solution of Einstein's equations, sitting there happily. When it is intruded upon by a test mass, it already has set up its field. So, when something scatters off of it, it moves along the field set up by the black hole. Now, it will accelerate, and perhaps, "radiate a graviton", but the black hole will only feel that after the test particle's radiation field enters the black hole horizon, which it may do freely. But nowhere in this process, does a particle leave the black hole horizon
Almost every country in this table [1] in Europe, and almost all developed countries, has fewer road deaths per 100k inhabitants / year than the US. The US is at 12.4 deaths / 100k inhabitants, up there with countries like Belize and Moldova. Germany and Span are at 3.7 deaths, Netherlands at 2 deaths, France at 5, Italy at 5.2, and even _Canada_ at 5.8. Even Canada has half the road deaths / 100k inhabitants as the US. Road deaths in the US are more similar to countries with a fraction of our GDP and development. Let's get near Canada, so maybe even 6 deaths / 100k inhabitants first before we stop the scrutiny on car violence. Those are the goals I'm willing to set.

I got a slight chuckle out of this because it reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from Slate Star Codex (in this case the blog post was talking about Voat):

> The moral of the story is: if you’re against witch-hunts, and you promise to found your own little utopian community where witch-hunts will never happen, your new society will end up consisting of approximately three principled civil libertarians and seven zillion witches. It will be a terrible place to live even if witch-hunts are genuinely wrong.

IAMA Former founder @ Hack Reactor, one of the larger coding bootcamps. I left Hack Reactor some time after selling to Galvanize in 2018. I now run a clean energy startup and am commenting as a bystander (no insider knowledge @ Lambda). Here are some thoughts in no particular order. Feel free to AMA as well.

0) Bootcamps are extremely sensitive to complaints to their regulators. If you are eg. seeking a refund for monies paid and have a grievance, know that forms like this [https://www.bppe.ca.gov/forms_pubs/complaint.pdf] exist for your state, and know that bootcamps will be very motivated to reconcile the matter before you fill one out.

1) Many bystanders think the ISA business model is predatory. I've seen it compared to slavery. I've talked with hundreds of low-income, high-promise people, and ISAs are 1000% more attractive to that audience than more conventional debt-like instruments, even debt-like instruments with forgiveness protocols. When people talk about what's good for low-income students, and say it's not ISAs... I don't think these people have a cohesive theory of educational access??? I can't explain it.

2) There is a lot of skepticism about the practice of hiring recent grads as alums. I think it's a good idea for prospective bootcamp students to ask a) which specific individuals with work experience will teach me, b) what kind/how much access will I have, c) can I talk to them. I will also observe that recent grads do the bulk of of non-lecture/non-curriculum work in pretty much every educational context ever. I live next to UC Berkeley, which has more graduate TAs than all other instructional staff put together.

3) This looks bad for Lambda. I hope they course-correct and I hope prospective students look at all their options. PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS: You should write off Lambda because a) you have better options, or b) because you've talked to current students, not c) because of coverage like this. I can't speak to Lambda but I can say I've read coverage like this about places that might be the best option out there for some students (eg General Assembly). Anyone who likes coding and wants to make it their job should go to the best bootcamp they can get into. It's an incredible onramp into a world of prosperity, and "worst bootcamp" is a quality designation that is close to "median university CS program" in terms of return on investment IMO.
but...why? just install Rectangle and forget about it why does it matter so much if it's "built-in" or not..? It's like complaining that Apple doesn't make Alfred built in because you don't like Spotlight.
Terrible amount of storage indeed, so I did not bother with it. I went with a 40 GB iRiver H340 instead. By the time the battery was dying (2009?) I went with an iPod Touch and an iPod Classic with ~200 GB storage. I could not get used to the wheel for scrolling. Why not? Simply because I cannot aim with it, and it does (perhaps therefore?) not feel intuitive either. iPod Touch however was my first capacitive touch UI and I was sold (though again it had not much storage, hence I bought the Classic). I very much liked how Nokia was investing in Maemo (mobile touch UI Linux, largely but not completely FOSS), had various of their devices, but I knew at that point resistive touch UI would end up as a niche. They figured that out, too, with Qt and N9 but burning platform memo killed it.

I don't have the perfect answer, but my criteria for services might be something like: Is it serving prod traffic? Did you deal with keeping it online, performant, and available in parallel with your development iterations? Did the the experience of keep it running provide critical feed back for further design choices?
I always thought amp was a power grab by Google. Serving sites from their cache instead of letting viewers go to the original site and then going out of their way to make it hard so that you can't even click through to the original.

Then u have this recent thing with the alerts. And before that, the web browser consolidation with chromium.

I can't wait till a new browser upsets the new ie
You're crass, but not an asshole. And no, I'm not trolling. Like I've explained throughout the replies, it appears as though I've been grossly misinformed.

You're right; I did way too little research, but again, I was told by recruiters working for the bootcamp not to worry about visas, and that the visa requirements were 'malleable enough', to the point where the degree requirement for H1-B's could be exchanged with literally 0 years of experience. (At the time of graduation)

I was even told of someone a few cohorts before me that was in a similar position. They took the bootcamp after high school, graduated at 18, then got hired at Google soon after. I don't believe this happened anymore, and again, I think this was told to me due to the bootcamp's incentives being where they were. I do feel slightly cheated, but I undestand that I'm responsible for my own due diligence.
Etleap (YC W13) Is Hiring an Integrations Engineer
Software Engineer - Integrations

About Us

Etleap came to be out of the frustration with how much time data wrangling takes away from the actual analysis. We were just tired of spending time building and maintaining data pipelines. Then we noticed, so is everyone else! That is why we’ve created an intuitive ETL tool that easily enables the data analysts themselves to integrate data from any source. This way data analysts can do their most significant work faster than ever before.

Now we are looking to add engineers to our core engineering team to help build the infrastructure and the integrations that modern data teams depend on to create and operate their data warehouse! It shouldn’t take a CS degree to use big data effectively, and abstracting away the difficult parts is our mission.

Are you ready for the challenge?

What you are going to do:
- Be part of the team that is building the next generation of ETL software
- Build fast, scalable, easy-to-maintain integrations that gets data flowing with minimal latency
- Come up with novel ideas on how to extend Etleap’s integrations framework, and then implement those ideas as reusable interfaces and components

What we want to see in you:
- You love data engineering
- You write robust and maintainable code three times as fast as other developers
- You find reverse-engineering systems interesting
- Coding in Java is second nature to you
- You’re excited to work in a scrappy, fast-paced environment
- You’re down to earth and fun to work with. This is an absolute must!

This role is open to individuals living anywhere in the world.

To apply, send your resume to jobs@etleap.com.
This isn't the denouement it's a Monday.
I think the article messed up there. The FBI press release claims that they did use the coupons themselves. Maybe the link should be changed?

It seems I misunderstood.
> There’s really no way to understate what a colossal achievement Apple’s M1 processor is; compared with almost every modern x86-64 processor in its class

On the other hand I'm sure there's more than a few chipheads out there who are saying "it's about time", there was a longstanding prediction that the arm architecture would overtake x86.
It's hard for me to imagine a less surprising result.

And yet it's going to happen again, and again, and again. Voat, Parler, whatever.
... Yes and? They pay the taxes that fund the development for the miles of power lines and piping that need to be placed to support non-city dwellers. We can play this game all day. Civilization is all about paying into the common good.
Not even government blacklists mean anything if you have money. And then the CEO gets released not long after the negotiations?

One administration is as corrupt as the next. What chance do regular folks have when you can be sent to jail for "lying" rather than a proven crime (ala Martha) but then people like this can pay half a million and get strings pulled and be set free?
I think GPs point is, given their streaming habits and what Spotify charges, it’s not possible to pay 1cent per stream on average.

Though my math would be slightly different.

Assuming:

* 3 hours (180 minutes) per day

* 30 days in a month

* $10 subscription

* 3.5 minute average song length

180 * 30 / 3.5 = 1543 streams per month

$10 / 1543 = $0.0065 per stream

So for a listener listening on average 3 hours per day, if Spotify gave away 100% of what they charged the user, they’d still only be able to pay an average of little over 1/2 a cent per stream.

No matter how you distribute that money, unless you charge the user more, there isn’t a way to pass on an entire cent per stream to every artist from that users subscription.
I feel so stupid that I was chasing down audio hum issues for a while and even though I knew it was ground related I didn’t even clue in to use the 3 prong adapter.
The cheaper coolers will work fine yes, but as I said with Ryzen specifically they won't allow the user to take full advantage of their hardware.

Put simply, it has a particular temperature target that it tries to stay at as much as possible and it'll adjust its clockspeed boosting dynamically to achieve that. The more easily it can maintain that temperature, the higher the CPU will boost. With a lesser cooler, this means the chip may barely be boosting at all depending on the cooler's capabilities, especially for hotter chips like the 5800X, 5900X, and 5950X (which interestingly all share the same 105W TDP despite considerably different power consumption characteristics). Depending on how bad the mismatch is between CPU and cooler you may be better off saving money and buying a cheaper CPU with performance closer to what your cooler is capping more expensive CPUs to.

And yes you're right, you're probably not going to get cooling that competent from a major OEM. That's why it's not a great idea for home users to buy from a major Windows PC OEM unless their needs are fairly pedestrian.
> This all started when I was looking into why instances in an auto scaling group were sometimes failing to bootstrap correctly.

Please use Packer to build your images; don't do it on ASG instance deploy.

If somebody in the company tells you you're not allowed to build your own images, tell them to go fuck themselves, and write an e-mail to that guy's boss's boss explaining how much engineering time you're wasting (and how likely the products are to fail due to ASGs trying to bootstrap systems on the fly) because they won't let you cut an AMI.
You’re being way too pedantic and missing the point.
It may sound insignificant, but quality-of-life issues like these feel incredibly frustrating, and build the feeling that your computer is working against you, rather than with you (or at the very least at cross purposes to you). Friction is a big deal. It doesn't feel like your tool when it keeps doing things you don't want it to do.

It was exactly this issue that made me finally dump Gnome.
That's the catch, though. For their extremely broken brains, everything is political discussion.

Talking about finance? Well, who do you think controls the world's money? And on and on.

Note to dang/admin: I'm sure it is clear that I am being illustrative of a hateful argument, but I am happy to redact.
Do you have a link or model for the NAS case?
Would you mind addressing this user's concerns [0] regarding the power supply? There's a serious allure to a NAS that actually runs a real OS and not some weird proprietary thing that's going to get pwned [1], and also isn't just a computer that I'm not using anymore.
