I do wish we didn't all have to reinvent this wheel though…
I built an analog synthesizer from scratch. Here is how I did it
Not saying OP-1 is a bad product, but it is VERY expensive, and one could argue that the aesthetic of the OP-1 is what makes it a good device.

For something like a PC case, there's already a LOT of options in aesthetics, so asking for nearly $200 for a case (that, as pointed out, you have to assemble yourself!) is a bit much to swallow. $200 gets you basically the highest end case in ANY look that you want. Perhaps not this 'unique', but you have a plethora of options.
> I think you’re underestimating both the mass of a comet and that the geopolitical implications of a private company being one industrial accident away from replicating something several orders of magnitude closer to Chicxulub than to Tsar Bomba would prevent them being allowed to even try it.

Meh, you could regulate it fairly effectively. Changing the path of a comet is something that's gonna have to be done years out. Deviating from the planned course would be obvious long before it'd hit anything.
>What’s the alternative?

You said it yourself:

>Just get your shots. Stop being pricks about it, it's not a big deal.

Since fucking when do we need to build mass surveillance systems to encourage people to vaccinate?

Why does it need to be a big deal? I don’t give a shit about vaccines (had my 2 shots as soon as they were available), but I genuinely believe that people pushing for pervasive vaccine passes do not deserve to live. Fucking develop technology to test if I actually had the vaccine, don’t try to use this as an excuse to check my documents.
I’m using a Mac mini. Just have a wireless mouse and keyboard. Much more versatile than a streaming device.
It’s nice being able to zoom from it with family or coworkers.
Ah, yes, the old "punish people for responding rationally to perverse incentives" schtick.
There's so much of this thinking that misses the forest for the trees. When you're running a giant government program, fraud and misuse are to be expected. The question "will there be fraud?" is rarely the right one - rather it's "factoring in the cost of fraud, is this still a good program?"

There was a fair bit of PPP fraud, but that's okay! It was designed to be relatively easy for businesses to get that money, because getting money into the hands of small businesses was critical. Plenty of the fraud could have been prevented with additional paperwork/validations/etc., but amount saved from fraud by doing that would be completely outweighed by the cost of businesses failing that otherwise could have been saved because they couldn't get the money fast enough.
Scrapping containers is a terrible idea. We need reuse those containers in 2 weeks. The supply chain is a loop. The pipeline is just stuffed up right now and we need to stash empties for a bit while we unload the ships that are backed up.
I doubt that it's a 'small subset' seeing that 54% of Americans, across all income levels, live paycheck to paycheck.
I don't see how that title is problematic for this article. Many would agree with the idea that "woke media" is undermining democracy but how is that relevant?
Sun City is absolutely not an appropriate tool for modeling societal policy.

One of the original authors, Will Wright, gave an interview many years ago expressing his horror when he found out that city planners were doing precisely what you suggest.

Quote:

“I think if we tried to make it realistic, we would be doing something that we wouldn’t want to do,” Wright said in an interview in 1999.

But that didn’t stop companies from believing Maxis could design realistic simulations.

Will Wright didn’t believe that was even possible.

“Many people come to us and say, ‘You should do the professional version,'” he continued.

“That really scares me because I know how pathetic the simulations are, really, compared to reality.

The last thing I want people to come away with is that we’re on the verge of being able to simulate the way that a city really develops, because we’re not.”

Forced tab groups and grid layout on Google Chrome for Android was so disagreeable that I switched to Firefox for Android.

It looks like similar changes may be coming to the desktop version of Google Chrome too.
> but I do think there is a small subset of poor people who will be "perpetually poor." They have little/no financial literacy, they'll spend the money in a fairly frivolous way, and I think giving them raw cash instead of something more or less boxed-in like food stamps can lead to a lot of issues.

I think this phenomena cuts across class lines. There are lots of middle class households that live way beyond their means and basically just use expansive lines of credit - of which poor people don't have access to - to keep themselves afloat. Likewise, there's tons of "Richs to rags" stories of wealthy people who slowly fritter away their wealth with either foolish investing or extravagant purchases.
The existence of a giant $600+ Billion trade deficit, and supply chain breakdown, all of it built atop underpaying labor that facilitates this supply chain domestically (truckers etc getting paid terrible wages), illustrates that there are "jobs" to be done, to supply this consumption which we do not produce. Meaning it is a collapsing Rube-goldbergian system that shifts demand for workers out of the country, at a diminishing return and increasing cost..economic, political and social.

>navel gazing

You just mean to say it is not in your interest or the costs don't affect you, or you don't care, or you benefit and enjoy the effects of the last few decades of globalization.

That's fine, but it does affect me, my region my state and my interests. We will hash it out in the arena of politics. See: male labor force decline, record opiate death spike especially per-capita in rust belt regions, declining birth rates, declining life expectancy, declining home-ownership, stagnant real wages, increased inequality, and regional economic inequality and population growth (decline) rates.

>is doing fine

This is particular to which region and industry. Ultimately, for the people living in certain places, they have a different opinions and different interests, because "we live here, not there". US is massive, it is not true that all of it benefits the same from the same economic policies. Just as in your example of "the world". Just as I as an American shouldn't feel placated by policy that over the last few decades increased abstract aggregate measures of "global wealth" or "global growth/GDP", so to I am not comforted as a citizen in a rust-belt state to know that the overall, or particular states in the US like and benefit from globalism and outsourcing.

This is politics, and it all comes down to group interests, it's not complicated. We had the best domestic manufacturing economy in the world, and to use your terminology, we "threw that away" on costly financialization and outsourcing to juice capital inflows into wall street and create a giant debt and consumption economy, bailed out by China debt buying and growth as well as various tech booms/bubbles to keep the machine going, that particular regions in US benefited massively from but not all. I guess it is all subjective.

Yeah - I agree generally generic terms like that make discussion worse.
Why is the debt bad? Can you explain it without using the false analogy of citizen debt?
I think that this code is acceptable as long as you're careful. And I wish Rust had a `#[derive(TryFrom)]` sort of thing for deriving conversions from the declared primitive type to the enum.
I don't think abstinence has been very good at achieving the outcome we're hoping for.

Not all abstinence is the same. Just because one is free to try anything, it doesn't mean people have to try everything.

Once they got into weed they realized just how much of a lie abstinence teaching was, they then graduated to trying other drugs

The problem isn't abstinence. The problem is the lie. Give people the proper, accurate information, and many will simply decide to abstain themselves. I think you and I would agree on this point about information.

The lack of education is terrifying, really.

That's ultimately the result of lies, deliberate obscurity, and attempts at thought control. It's far better to trust people with accurate information and let them decide for themselves.
I come from an Asian country and I would argue that parental involvement is not that much different than the USA. Parental pressure and resultant stress is much worse though, so it’s not really a good thing. Ranking and comparisons are also very demotivating at the same time.

Some parents have time and others don’t - just like the USA. The main difference is the style of education itself, and the way that children are taught.

While I don’t have a solution to the USA problem, it’s definitely not because “parents are uninvolved”.

Recruiting is sales and sales is hell unless you love it. I did not love it. A lot of Engineers would be able to make a lot of money in recruiting, or other sales roles, because it is not that hard. Its just draining and a never ending treadmill of metrics. Say what you will about SWE but the expectations to always be beating you previous metrics in sales is unsustainable and why so many companies develop shady sales practices. I wasnt willing to do that stuff and knew I could switch careers.
Sounds like the vaccine is causing all the variants?
There's not enough aluminum and steel?

There's not enough oxygen? Hydrogen? We can make renewable methane just fine.

Even if we used oil a quick calculation says that 1000 tons * 10000 launches would barely break a tenth of a percent of our current semiannual oil use. I think that's an affordable impact for a truly massive mars campaign.
Haha great point. Well from what we have learned from our users is "fixing" test typically end up with "delete most of them". Fixing tests can be time consuming effort.

Another way to think about it is, whether Flaky tests are worth keeping? At some point if the tests fail often, do these really add value. And we think - it does. If you are able to identify flakiness from real failure and reduce noise, you can still avoid real failures.
What isn't 'spying'?
The author does bring up l-meth. I'm taking them at their word that l-meth is an isomer of d-meth and is created in P2P synthesis, but that seems at least plausible.

It doesn't seem to be common in the legal markets, and especially not at the kind of doses addicts would be exposed to.

From Wikipedia on Levomethamphetamine:

> In larger doses (more than 20 mg/day), it loses its specificity for MAO-B and also inhibits MAO-A, which increases serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the brain.

So there is a difference in response at higher doses. I would expect that addicts could be exposed to much more than 20mg/day, which begs the question of whether we even know what several hundred milligrams a day could do.

That's without getting into method of consumption. I'm not a chemist, but would we expect both isomers to break down under heat the same way? Or is the l-meth potentially being converted to something different than d-meth when smoked?

If the issue is the quantity, I would have expected schizophrenia to be constantly present. There's a fixed upper limit on how much people can do in a day, and overdoses have always existed, so there have always been people teetering on the edge. The amount heavy users use hasn't changed, there's just more heavy users and more users in general.

There doesn't seem to be debate that P2P processes create l-meth and d-meth, and that l-meth was less common in earlier versions.

I also don't think there's a debate that l-meth and d-meth have different effects. They're both used in prescription drugs, and those drugs are not interchangeable. You can't treat ADHD with l-meth, and you can't use d-meth in segiline.

None of that is conclusive. It could still be the quantity, or even something we haven't though of like an interaction between meth and fentanyl (which started its rise around 2015). I just don't think the evidence is so weak that we can discard the potential that l-meth is involved.
Have you done this before? What were the results?

Does Sim City model economics well enough that the result is meaningful?
On MacOS I use an app called Amphetamine to prevent my computer from sleeping. I got a real kick out of that. I got a further kick when I learned that Amphetamine was the successor to the earlier version, which was called Caffeine.
https://mynoise.net/ is my goto for noise. I usually go for basic pink or brown noise, but they have a bunch of other fun and interesting sounds too.

I have pink noise playing pretty much all the time at home. Not only does it mask some intermittent ambient noise, it's also too quiet without it. (Edit: I use sox in the terminal for this. Install sox then play -n synth pinknoise.)

Just noticed the same person made https://noises.online/ too, which is like a simplified, browser-only version of myNoise ... and you can share mixes like https://noises.online/player.php?g=ca3fa3ib3
The author trots out the "$10,000 a pound" launch cost which is really indicative of the overall quality of the article.

For non-Space Wonks, the "$10,000/lb" to orbit number was the rough cost of launching some payload on the Space Shuttle to orbit. Costs for the Space Shuttle were basically NASA's entire manned spaceflight budget divided by the number of Shuttle launches performed in a year. It's not just a naive number it's wholly misleading.

No/few commercial space launch approach $10k/lb. It's a meaningless number for any discussion of launch costs since the Space Shuttle is retired and was not a commercial launch vehicle anyways. Even the most expensive ULA rockets aren't even close to that price.

If you're going to talk about space launch capabilities and bring up stupid numbers it impacts your credibility.
Thanks. My brain kind of parsed it as “p2p mesh” but I was a little bit confused still …

Routing data to the CPU wouldn't make much difference without a network connection to transmit the data back to central collection point.
I used to be a proponent of universal basic income, but after this past year it's become clear, rent and housing prices will just increase to match whatever extra income people receive. Unless there is real housing reform (not treating housing as an investment) UBI won't be effective.
The Enterprise crew agreed with you. They tried twice to sever the connection, nearly killing Captain Picard in the process.
Another comment above almost came out and said it, but stopped short. Rich people simply want their own planet. This has nothing to do with ‘the human species.’ They have trashed Earth and they will need to keep doing so in order to keep industry humming, so they want another planet where they can live a life decoupled from all the associated inconveniences of the logical conclusion of capitalism.
It's not clear to me if SecurityPoint's patent is for putting advertisements on the trays. I thought SecurityPoint offered to let TSA use their technology without paying fees, if the TSA would include SecurityPoint ads?
Reading other people's minds is a fool's errand, and you got the appropriate result - you are wrong. If you thought it was counter-productive, etc., just say so.

Context is an essential part of meaning. If you don't know the context of something, you are going to misunderstand and be misled. If I yell 'fire!' in a crowded movie theater, it means something different than it does at a gun range, or huddled over some kindling in in driving rainstorm at a campsite. In this case, the context was political. We need to be able to talk about politics without actually doing it; some try to pretend politics doesn't exist, but that's a lie. It seems to me that you felt that it could not be talked about, it had to be done. Don't try to impose that on me, please.
Having worked on a trading floor: noise is all around you: whether its people shouting at each other or the non-stop drone of CNBC in the background.

I can say that the former was always very distracting but the latter was always welcome and did boost productivity and focus.
There are many taxes besides income tax. Consumption taxes tend to hit low income people hardest.
You clearly haven't read much about the societal impacts of pornography. Being a enthusiastic consumer doesn’t make you am expert.

But, I’ll take you up on your offer. Its better than the one Im currently facing.
Personally I find it refreshing to see the proper use of that word.
Counterpoint, sometimes it's better to let the system burn, or else the root cause will never be addressed. Treating the symptoms can take the pressure off solving the root cause.
Why not take advantage of the dollar being the global reserve currency and just keep increasing the debt? Its not like the debt is in some other currency. Its in the same currency so all that the debtors want is more of the same.

Any good arguments on why this can't continue forever? (obviously other nations can't do this)
Is it also acceptable to judge billionaires who take money from taxpayers for worker retraining / property tax breaks instead of spending their own cash?
The US debt has the following consequences:

1. The US will be paying interest on it forever.

2. The US is chained to maintaining low interest rates forever no matter what unless it wants to bankrupt itself. The Fed is not so independent from the rest of the government that it can set policy to bankrupt the US.

3. This game can go on basically forever as long as the economy keeps growing faster than the debt. That will happen as long as every dollar in spending creates (one dollar times the interest rate) in recurring tax revenue. So, the government can spend... as long as it spends wisely.

If you want some financial science fiction, imagine a world where you can borrow money directly from the Fed at an interest rate that exactly balances your disk of defaulting. In that world, the USG can borrow at 0% interest because it structurally can't default. That's the world we're heading towards.
Context matters in consent.

So what? You realize the top 1% have stolen >$10T from us overdecades of tax evasion, and you want to punish a few mentally ill people who don't spend money in the "right way" that you've personally determined to gatekeep?

This is the problem I have when people say: "the problem I have with UBI is that people won't spend it the way I think they should." It is such a small amount compared to the larger problems, and it would help so many people.

Engineers have a term for this: rounding error.

You're worried about rounding error.
That would probably cost you more than the TV itself.
While it's a long-running gag, I would like to remind everyone that swapping to zram is a thing on Linux (I don't know whether there's an equivalent on Darwin, and I think NT ships it by default), and the tech goes all the way back to RAM Doubler for MacOS (or at least, that's the earliest implementation that I know about). So for quite a long time you kind of have been able to do exactly that...
I got a Sony 2 years ago and haven't had any add issues.

Outside of being picky on what brands to choose from, the next best thing is to just never use the "smart" features and rely on a third party box like Roku/Apple TV/Pi/Etc. I know some smart TV adds will still throw ad's in the menus, but you shouldn't have to use the menu's that frequently.
Completely agree. It's a textbook example of hindsight bias when people cannot "unsee" the currently accepted theory deemed to be "true" and fail to imagine that people in the past thought just like them before the new theory came along. I think it takes a good amount of marketing (eg. Einstein with Relativity) to change people's mind if a new improved theory is to be accepted and for majority to conform to it.

So let's indeed be very charitable in crediting our predecessors' achievements.
Again, why should one LB resident get to decide what another LB business does? Just because this sort of restriction is common doesn't mean it's right.
From OO perspective, there really isn't any difference between Java and C#

There are certain features (such as linq, genetics,etc) that I consider C# superior, but OOPness isn't one of them.

That said, for historical reasons, Java has a lot more emphasis on class hierarchies, etc
My biggest concern with some of such programs, including UBI and child tax credits, which rely on the number of children in a family, is that it incentivizes poorer families to have more kids.

It may not be a popular opinion, but I generally see poorer families with more kids, regardless of the race, while more affluent families generally have fewer kids. This puts more economic pressure on poorer families and such kids generally don't end up getting good education or going to college.

Unfortunately, I don't have an alternate solution.
The marketing is weird, but I’d imagine that a lot of the guys buying them don’t really care how much the toy resembles some porn star’s vagina. I think the stigma goes a bit deeper than that.
Especially in the United States, we’re so focused on catching fraud, we probably spend more money on the bureaucracy to stop the fraud than the cost the fraud would have, itself.
I stream 4K MKVs from my phone (an iPhone) to my Apple TV 4K using AirPlay all the time. It used to be a challenge getting the codecs right, but there's broader support now. It took awhile to find a good iOS app that supports this, but once I found nPlayer[0] I've never gone back. It's faarrr better than the VLC iOS app.

It works quite well even when my phone is streaming media that's on cloud storage somewhere (nPlayer supports many). But for optimal playback I download the file to my device first.

Of course if you want Dolby Atmos sound, I think you're out of luck. I think HDR should work but not sure.

IMO, most likely because the tendency for a corporation to turn into something "evil [and] society-destroying" increases with size.
Because that two high rule doesn't apply to the port. Take a look at this photo.

https://polb.com/

The port is already stacking five high. The two high rule is for outlying yards. Basically, it will help if it helps. We just don't know yet, but it seems like a really good+cheap idea.
I get what you're saying. But as a consumer, I don't care what the production costs. I care what the product itself costs and what I'm getting out of it vs what similar products cost and what I get out of those.
They used to make high quality stuff. OPZ and OB4 have been a huge let down in terms of build quality and sturdiness.
What’s the UB?
It's only UB for positive n. For negative n, it is an is-even test, so it can't be optimized to return true.
Gender non-conforming persons are still a small minority. I think in the vast majority of cases, gender will still be tied to appearance.
