Agreed. Its incredibly rare that I've waited to buy a sold-out item. I either buy a competitors, or I lose interest and decide I don't care enough. I can't actually think of a case, off hand, where I did wait, although I'm sure its happened at some point.

I either want the thing at that time point, in which case I will look for an alternative because waiting won't get me the thing at that time point, or if its not important enough or I don't want it enough to want it right away, then I don't buy and usually I either get less interested as I wait, priorities shift or I just forget about it.

For example, a PS5: I would have bought one on release, if I could have. Had the money set aside for it. But I couldn't get one and about two months later, I lost interest, cancelled my reservation and spent the money on something else and have decided there are other things I want more before I get one, such as a new guitar. Maybe in a few years I'll get one. Maybe. If I can get one cheap.
I'd be happy to. Something about their very long, skinny, dark bodies, especially their proboscis, is just horrid to me. From afar it's nice to see little colorful wings flapping around, but at any level of closer examination their bodies are almost as repulsive as spiders are to most people (though funny enough, I somewhat like spiders).
In Germany it's not as bad as in the US. It's more of a mixed bag. Some people are pro, some are con and some don't care. But there is not that amount of pure hatred against unions. There are some unions that retrieve heavy criticism, because of their behaviour in negotiations or public announcements. But we don't want to get rid of all of them.
What would be the counter defense against one of these things? Would it be hard for an adversary to fly a smaller drone with explosives and a strong magnet and simply attach to one of these drones and wait for its return?
Russians still use extremely low frequencies for communication with submarines (an unidirectional communication system called "Zevs"). Transmitter is located on the Kola Peninsula, frequency is 82 Hz, bit rate is a few bits per minute, power consumption is in the multi-megawatt range. Waveguide is formed by the surface of the earth and the ionosphere.
A rough rule of thumb from watching stealth aircraft development and the subsequent retrospective stories over the years: what you don't know is about 15 years ahead of what you do. It might be that things have compressed since then, and it might be that stealth was always a special case, but it wouldn't surprise me if the absolute cutting edge is still that far ahead in some areas.
... but the cave link uses relatively high power levels (20-30 Watts if I remember correctly)
> Why not just buy an Android phone with the features you want?

That's exactly what I did, but I know several iPhone users who don't feel comfortable making the switch despite being unhappy with Apple's policies. It's a big deal to change ecosystems for people who are heavy mobile users. It might mean getting new accessories, learning new apps (or not having a direct replacement for an app), and losing several other benefits of being in a single ecosystem.

It's ridiculous to say that customers should shut up and take their business elsewhere. If current users don't speak up about Apple's consumer/developer-hostile behavior, who will?
Make electricity free and I can decarbonize steelmaking entirely.
So yes there is an original keypair that establishes the data. But ones established it can be fixed in a verifiable way. A game client, community of art lovers, government agency, social consensus, then recognizes that nft as corresponding to some offchain asset. It cannot be later changed, duplicated, etc without some social consensus to do so. You don't need to trust a third party with control.
What scenario would you like to be protected against? If someone can observe/record your screen, they can likely observe/record you typing it in too. For observation only, a complex password usually suffices.

So, you need an extra step to stop you from getting your password into files like .bash_history and from submitting it inside auto-submit search forms (eg. Google Search or any autofill field).

For the former (or anything that doesn't auto-transmit), don't press enter.

The latter is a newish usecase that I am sure we can fix in a better way (eg. attempting to type any password from your keyring into non-password field could delay that until confirmation is given).

If you wish, you can always write a program that pops a password box on your assigned key, and then emulates keypresses. You'd similarly catch your passwords with a keylogger-like app that integrates with your keyring.

TL;DR — because it's not a big deal, except for some new usecases, and it wouldn't be a great solution.
You can ignore the racial angle and still come away with the criticism that the culture among most police departments in American is VERY antagonistic towards the populations they serve. I could bang on about my personal experience but it's not super relevant here.

Just look at any major police scandal in the past decade. There's almost always an attempt at a cover up, and always a ton of officers that knew about it and did nothing. No matter what the crime or infraction is, police protect their own and circle up in the face of even the most benign criticism. There's a great book called I Got a Monster [1] that details Baltimore's infamous gun task force, and it's shocking how many people knew what they were up to for years. People who look the other way aren't good apples. For a bit of history, Radley Balko's Rise of the Warrior Cop [2] does a great job detailing the growth of us vs. them thinking among police nationally.

> It can be VERY hard to do the right thing, especially when it means it's the last thing you get to do (before you lose your job).

Police are almost NEVER fired. The number one goal of police unions is to prevent any firing for any reason ever, and they are very successful at that.

I just meant the physics of it.
It is. The way it was explained to me, all the APIs you use are in English so naming variables in your local language is futile at best and would just require constant context switching.

I remember many moons ago MooTools announced international API translations as an April Fools joke. It did make me wonder if there’s an interesting programming experiment to be done there… but I’m a native English speaker so I’m not best positioned to know!
Where do you live? Because that's been the narrative nowhere I'm aware of. Saying "we have to roll it out to the public to find out if it works" is rather the opposite of how it was presented, wasn't it? It was all about the trials prove it's safe and effective and there's no reason to doubt the rollout.

Yes that's changed now with the rollouts to children and the boosters. They realized people will take anything if it's called a vaccine even if the trials were a joke, and even if they say we have to try it out on the public to see what happens. But that's very new.

There's a significant difference between employing someone in a job where their accomplishments earn rewards; and "just giving them support money".

"something given has no value" is the best expression ive come up with for it, and it sucks; but the principle seems to hold. People value what they earn, and resent what they are given.

>> Zen4 has been widely rumored* to support AVX-512.

I've been hoping AVX-512 goes away. Intel doesn't even seem to be embracing it very well, probably due to the huge increase in power consumption.

I look forward to RISC-V Vectors, which allow scaling the hardware without changing the instruction set.
Because good luck finding an Android phone that is usable without Google. It's doable, but it requires specific phones and a lot of knowledge / time.

Reminds me of Rob Fitzpatrick's customer development talks: ask a potential customer if they would buy your product and they're all positive yes, definitely. Go, ok, lets do it, whip out a credit card machine and listen to all the excuses they come up with why they can't do it right now.

Try debugging something in Spark/DataBricks. It is so incredibly tedious; stack traces can easily reach 200 lines or more.

Unless the alleged messages were posted on a Scala forum, and the messages were deliberately left up, I don't think the comments of a Scala contributor represent Scala.
Generally speaking, yes. With RF there are a handful of encoding methods, but in very simple terms binary 1's and 0's correspond to the high/low peaks of the frequency. Higher frequencies can therefore transmit data faster because you have more "peaks", and opportunities to encode data per interval of time.

Higher frequencies have less power in terms of ability to travel a great distance or through materials. It is very much like audible sounds, you can hear bass notes from someone playing music far away, but you'll lose the highs and then the mids after a relatively short distance.

One of the many tradeoffs in RF networks is trading range for throughput.
I would argue that any client side blocking is pointless at best, and points to extreme lack of actual security at worst.
It wouldn't require any training at all. This tech cannot read your thoughts. It's reading motor inputs.

Intel is unnecessarily hostile towards us! Those who help the enemy, should also be considered enemies.
Ah! Capture is so much harder than destroy. Capture development can take a huge budget and years to get right.

Destroy is different. Destroy is all about cost-effectiveness. An explosive decoy might work. But would a missile be cheaper? How about a hairnet stretched across its path? Maybe just some shapes drawn on a building to confuse it's navigation, make it crash into a wall.
Show HN: Mani – Task runner CLI to manage multiple repos
I don't really get this argument. You lose 100% of income, assuming this is your only job, but only until you get another one, which could be right away, and in the meantime if they terminate you without cause you get unemployment for long enough that most people will be able to find another job.

Meanwhile this criticism is inversely correlated with the utility of a union. If you're in a market where the company is hiring unskilled fungible peons, and you try to unionize, they can just let the union walk out and hire a bunch of different unskilled fungible peons. So it doesn't work for e.g. Amazon warehouse workers.

For a strike to mean anything, the company has to have high turnover costs in replacing employees or a scarcity of skilled labor. But then that's true of the individual employees as well. So then it isn't needed for e.g. programmers to be able to negotiate beneficial working conditions, and you're paying the overhead for what you could get without it.

What does that leave for where the union is doing something good?
Feminism is fine for women. It doesn't help men, it isn't about men, and men have no reason or obligation to put the interests of women in general above their own interests as individuals.

I agree. Very convenient state of affairs for the oligarchs and SIGs.

For example, oligarch Peter Thiel has the current strategy of funding hate-spewing demagogues for political office because he thinks that America needs an "enemy" to be united. I wonder who that "enemy" is scapegoating for?

The problem with that is that external meetings will still start on the :00/:30 so your overlaps will be a problem or you'll lost another 5 minutes from your internal meetings when anybody on the call bumps against a :00. Besides if you start all of your meetings at :05 as a company you'll still have people wandering in at :07.
I can highly recommend Doxie[1]. I am using their scanner since many years without any problem and they have great support and a great user interface.

Workflow is Scan -> throw on a big pile (file very important stuff away) and discard everything once the scans are OCR'd and saved on my encrypted NAS share (for which I have a regular offsite backup).

As Doxies OCR works great and I use Docfetcher on my NAS for ultrafast search/retrieval, I don't need to tag anything manually or use different folders but can just "scan it away" without any manual edits which is a huge timesaver.

How do you measure accuracy? Is there another way the man can communicate?

edit: The researchers compared the BCI output to a prompt that T5 was supposed to restate. I was thinking that T5 was communicating without prompts in the experiment. This isn't my idea of translation accuracy, but you've got to have some baseline.

The most ridiculous consequence of that is that Ryan Air started charging for cabin luggage. So they show the "full price", but only in the end you realise that you have to pay extra to take a small suitcase with you (which is included on every other airline...).
I just read the Blockchains Never Forget article. Fascinating, thanks for sharing that.

I worked with all .NET versions. The most none-code related .NET bugs I had to hunt down in modern time has been in .NET Core 1.0 (clear leader) and .NET Core 2.2. The thing I like about the LTS versions is that they always work in and with any part of the ecosystem. Actually, one of our clients had to downgrade from .NET 5.
Even then, you're not likely to win. As a centrist/apolitical, it's hard to "just grill" when the extremists on both sides consider compromise to be tantamount to violence, and will attack you for even suggesting such a thing.
Right, that’s why there’s a very large cultural crackdown on what can be shown, with pop stars being removed and wiped from the internet . With kids having their past times curfewed.

Happy to cite, and this might be a giant rabbit hole, but I would posit there’s massive disagreement (both for and against) your statement.
I did that a fair bit when I was starting out and I've learned to be conservative. The problem is when I run into somebody else who insists that (I) should be able to do something in two hours because it's simple in their mind.

It still feels exploitative. To open a can of worms, what if I compare this to prostitution?

Yeah I get it, there's a gap there (uncaring governments and lack of good-enough jobs), and it's not their fault that they can profit from this gap. Although I suppose the moralistic issue is that these rent-seeking companies are paying as low as possible to attract/keep the workers and pocketing the rest (not to mention the other dodgy shit like trying to extract the maximum from restaurants, e.g. by hijacking their ordering system). But hey, as a child of capitalism, I'd do the same too.

Maybe I should change jobs and be a pimp...
As another commenter said, speed of experimentation is an important factor. Also, dynamic types are nice when you're dealing with exploratory data work. Combine that with the library ecosystem and Python's ease of use, and there you have it.
And then there's Minecraft.

>The problem with Student Loan forgiveness is it would typically help the highest paid Americans. Most people with 100k plus in loans also make very good money.

That's very true. People often don't realize that blanket loan forgiveness is a very regressive policy. The higher you go up in the income bracket, the higher share of the student loan debt. Some kind of income-based or extreme situational (life-changing events, health, etc) forgiveness would be much better.

>Why in God's name would you go 300k in debt to make 50k ?

True especially for a masters program you should be well into early adulthood and it's even more difficult to argue that you were too young to understand the consequences. Schools publish their students past and expected incomes. Unless you have a good reason to believe you are exceptional, those numbers should definitely be used for planning your academic path.

The German version is more clear, "automatic query" is translated more literally as "automatic callback", by which I assume is meant that the device requests retransmission in case of an error.
I agree. If you are going to talk about finance, discuss checking accounts, credit cards, student loans, mortgages, and maybe the stock and bond markets. I know many educated people who don't know the difference between a stock and a bond or what a mutual fund is.

This doesn't work like this. Braingate (and all brain implants of this nature) require very active effort/cooperation in order to produce output. Here's what it feels like:

- Imagine, very hard, the act of moving your arm to write a message.

- Do everything that you would do to speak a word, except the actual act of articulating a word. Get as close as you can while stopping the actual muscles involved from firing.

These are not mind-readers. They hook into your normal brain circuitry. It mostly works the same way that you can type out a message on your keyboard without thinking about the keyboard: it's a brain HCI, `/dev/input`, not kernel-space.

I used to feel this way and have since flipped. Unless I'm traveling with a large group for an extended period of time, I really prefer hotels.

I've never even seen a buy button for one. Yesterday I waited for one to appear and as soon as I refreshed at the appointed time, the deal was over.
> the question is whether using Google or HERE (plus the Facebook SDK) would be more of a privacy violation

Well unless you absolutely never use Google (which is hard), you're better off using Maps (as they track you anyway from occasional usage), where as it's easier to never use Facebook (in fact all Facebook IPs are outright blocked on my networks) so it's better to not provide any data to them at all.

So for me if I had to choose I'd prefer Google (who probably track me anyways during occasional usage of their services) over Facebook which aren't supposed to track me at all since I never use their services (and since I avoid all apps with FB malware in them, I don't think they can track me).

In my case I use Apple Maps which works well enough for me. I wish OSM-based alternatives were as good when it comes to POI searching but in London I found that OSM is even worse than Apple.
