Also pay close attention to the Garmin body battery. When I first got it was like I don’t need a device to tell me if I got a good night sleep, but I was wrong. The biggest thing is alcohol, drink around noon golden. Drink up to bed time going to be at zero when you wake up. Went on vacation and drank every day for a week was cruising at zero the whole time. Got back first night good sleep 100! Also staying up late and not drinking enough water will give the same results. Makes you think about drinking more when you got a big day ahead, although like I said can game the body by drinking from noon - 3 then rehydrating before bed. Cheers!
Nothing about that comment was "angry". Building more railways and slowing immigration are not mutually exclusive.
If you have the sort of system that has automated key issuance and low interactivity on hosts, I agree that makes sense. But then, that's exactly the 'ssh as yourself and then sudo to root' model, just abstracted in a different way, isn't it? In both cases you're authenticating to some intermediary as yourself first and then being given access to the local root account—it's just that in my system the 'intermediary' is a local unique user account, whereas in yours it would be the individual authenticating to the temporary-ssh-key-issuance system like Vault. As long as that system does a unique authentication, the two are more-or-less identical, although you'd have to be careful to ensure you can untangle the auth logs to the intermediary system and associate them with local root sessions.
> This will be the tipping point for many to finally question all the info they get from the corporate media.

Only if they actually get to see the reality presented to them somewhere. I fear that most people still won't. If they've been in the bubble for years, there will be nothing indicating to them that they should venture outside of it this one time.
I agree with you, but these sentences struck a chord, even if I had to clear a lot of buzzword clutter along the way.

"It’s possible to buy in-game assets without playing the game, and it’s possible to create assets just from playing the game" --> "In the future, we believe that digital assets will become much more liquid and much more normalized." --> "The question has been how to capture that and who will benefit?"

The hope of metaverse capitalism might be to control vertically the whole digital market, while conceal work as a game to avoid the century-old problem of wages.
A single register value and a Linux TCP stack “packet of death”
You can't. These bikes are DRM'd to the hilt and any attempt at hacking them will cause the bike to brick itself which you can only reset at the dealership. You can do that three times and then it's permanent.

The penalties for having such a hack detected on your bike - assuming you would get away with it - is confiscation. I would strongly advise against such tricks.

You can see how much work just changing out the battery was. There are plenty of parties selling limiter removers or speed boxes but they're all illegal and you are uninsured when using such a device. My bike is perfectly legal to ride.
Where exactly is this person in the process?
Oh ye wrong word, thank you.
Biologically dead? A foolhardy assertion for anyone to make. Nature is nothing if not robust! I have no doubt that at the minimum microbial life has been flourishing throughout, with many other beings likely hiding from view.
Nonetheless old capacitors degrade, despite predating the plague. It’s SOP among retro computer folks to recap 80s/90s micros to avoid electrolyte damaging the boards, and I’ve had 80s-era Unix workstations go pop when powered on.

For most things I’d expect there to be no difference between the value of a computer with original caps _and no damage_ and one with recaps _and no damage_, because the buyer is going to recap anyway. For this Apple I, which is a museum piece rather than a hobby piece, I really don’t know if that holds.
May I ask what is the alternative? Creating an entire application for a single use? designing a generalized case and making a monolithic application with lots of obscure options?

What about setting up the project for the application, setting up instrumentation and testing, debugging, etc.?

Even supposing that all that extra work makes sense for your unique string manipulation needs, what about the next time something like this comes up but is out of scope for your first tool? Do you end up with lots of little applications, with lots of little features and arguments? When you come across that similar-but-not-quite need down the road, do you have to scour your library of full blown apps to find something that fits? Not to mention maintaining them against future system updates...

OR - you could just force yourself to get over the hump, learn the conceptual basics at play and then when you come across a novel situation down the line you can just rattle off a tailored one-liner and have your answer in a few moments...

@property

for el in self._list:

for item in Stuff().each:

It's even less verbose than the Ruby equivalent in the original article, thanks to the indentation-defined blocks.
What to look for when buying antivirus software
If a cybercriminal or virus gets past your security, it can cause havoc, including identity theft. This is why, as soon as a Windows PC is turned on, it should be equipped with antivirus software, which should be updated on a regular basis to keep current

Thanks!

Once you switch to using environment variables, having additional specialized settings files is a complexity you don't need, in my experience. So I prefer to simplify without losing much in terms of convenience.
Yeah that argument for forcing pedaling to me seems like a way of gatekeeping to keep something a little more "pure" without any actual reason.
Those last aren't mutually exclusive. The idea is that there should be one obvious way, such that you'll find that what works and feels best is that way. The idea is that you will simply want to comply, not to demand that you do.
> The UK has only approximately 13% forest cover. In Europe, only Denmark and Netherlands have similarly low coverage.

This is pretty well explained by population density, though which is cause and effect is debatable. (OK UK and Germany are ballpark similar)

Wild deer are the big issue. There's a small but vocal community pushing for wolf reintroduction, but that has it's own challenges. Scottish land law is extraordinarily complicated and archaic, it remain solely to prevent extinction of a far more damaging animal: the Edinburgh Lawyer.

I'm rarely as concerned about northern forests though. Fir trees count for half, or less, IMO. Without beech, silver birch, oak and yew the forest is fake.
That and there are fixed maximum ratios between the pedal input and motor assist.
Miners will find another PoW ecosystem to deploy their mining hardware in, correct.

Ethereum is not really a shitcoin though, unless you consider all cryptocurrencies shitcoins. Many tokens are implemented as ERC-20s (including most relevant stablecoins), other chains target EVM compatibility to drive developer adoption, majority of the NFT boom has been in ERC-721 NFTs on Ethereum, and traditional companies are now building L2s on top of Ethereum tech (PwC, Reddit).

Ethereum blockchain is pretty fundamental to much of what is happening in crypto aside from pure NumberGoUpism. Miners can hard fork ETH if they want to, but I doubt they will. All those dollars held in stablecoins will determine which chain has validity, and I doubt USDC/DAI/RAI/GUSD would go along with a miner cashgrab fork again Vitalik...
yeah, I should've clarified that I wasn't accusing you of being a shill.

from what I observe, "cloud evangelists" spread their good news mostly through blogspam, talks and twitter circlejerk. I assume that most random people on the forums are just their victims.
From an immigration perspective, yes.
I hate to say it, but as a Tesla owner there's a deep current of concern trolling pervading this genre.

People who didn't buy Teslas and who don't use superchargers have, well, way too much to say about what Tesla "should" do with its superchargers and how it will effect those people who don't use them and didn't buy a compatible product. I mean, guys...

That said: I agree that open access to chargers is a good thing for everyone and that it accelerates the day when these things are as routine as gas stations. But good grief everyone, don't pretend to be dispassionate observers, you just want access to superchargers.

Yes. It just needs to be disclosed as part of the H-1B process.
That's a good idea in theory, but you'd have to block off all the 120V outlets on the same circuit.

If the existing breaker is 15A, you need a NEMA 6-15, which is 2.9 kW.

The author's nowhere close to making a mindful argument between PoW and Pos, the whole article seems to be meant to drive people to Patreon based on some %s that should drive people mad. That's my point. It's a very polarised issue and I would expect more scrutiny and spider-sense here, precisely in your down-voting vein - at least you've put some thought, and steak(?) into it!
> We can fix those. If you could sue a chemical plant (or it's engineers!) that design/implement carcinogenic pollution, i bet the incentives get better fast.

Or the pricing of everything goes up astronomically to account for the new risk, and the poor go back to living in the stone age because they can't afford to pay for the risk assumed by anyone using industrial processes.

Watch how quickly AC vanishes from the poor when Freyon becomes $2,000 for a refill. I doubt the chemicals we use to treat water are free of industrial carcinogens either.

> Why do we accept destruction in our society? Why don't we push for better? Nothing has to be the way it is if we don't want it to be.

Because none of this is free. Handling the tin whiskers wasn't free, there's a certification process for that now. It killed a satellite in 1998, temporarily shut down a nuclear plant, and may have been a culprit in some Toyota car issues.

That was probably worth the tradeoff. It was a fairly minor change, and the payoff was pretty good.

I don't think we can just handwave away that getting to 0 carcinogens would be a net benefit. I'd probably take a 1 in 50,000 chance of dying from industry effects rather than having to go back in time 200 years in terms of quality of life.
I'd guess that it's because Boards are the first screenshot on the page. It also appears to be the central hub for the workspace that's offered here. Sketch, Video, and Chat would be used for communication, but everything would be coordinated and managed through Boards. This would be my experience working with platforms like Trello, Jira, and Basecamp in the past, personally.

That said, working with those other platforms, it has been difficult in the past to work with various integrated tools like the ones that you offer out of the box here. I remember previous jobs I had where only UX designers got access to mockup and flowchart tools that plugged into Jira, so the rest of us had to figure out how to draw and import charts and diagrams of our own.
it could, but articles like this filled with breathless hype and overpredictions do not.

I really want to see QC do something useful for QC (quantum computing for quantum chemistry) but in the short term, classical machines are far more useful for that (and even so, not particularly useful).

All questions look reasonable to me. It doesn't mean that you should abruptly stop doing any business with China, but that you (and Apple!) should at least start thinking how to change that.

> I don’t understand why a dislike brigade could be harmful but a like brigade couldn’t be (like propaganda and/or misinformation).

Likes or dislikes in isolation are pretty coarse metrics. Is it small, medium, big, or a huge number? Outside of that, it doesn't really matter.

The ratio, however, can be hugely misleading, and is most certainly one of the factors leading to ignorance bubbles. I just replied to another comment that held this ratio as a demonstration of "popular opinion", and this is a very common assumption.

It isn't popular opinion. It is the usually tiny, self-selecting group of individuals who seek out this information and then purposefully engage with it. The more engaged a bubble is, the more outsized this ratio will be.

Vaccination content is a great example. A heavy majority of the public is pro-vaccination, pro-mandates, pro-masking, etc. But they do it and go on with their life. They aren't watching videos and clicking little arrows hoping to change the world. Anti-vax people spend their days filling Facebook feeds, sharing memes, and clicking up and down arrows. So videos for the former tend to have terrible ratios, while the latter have great ratios. Despite being fringe beliefs. But then people come out of it deluded into thinking it's popular sentiment, and they're really just the "silent majority", etc.
I agree, we should switch to trains where feasible. I'd like to see more long-haul trains set up with affordable sleeper cars. But most land transportation over long distance is still by car.
> has repeatedly claimed that he/You "care deeply about trust [and] privacy."

Surely you see through marketing speak, as do I. Ask yourself if someone so clueless with the needs and concerns of developers and privacy conscious individuals actually has a chance of grokking the concept let alone embodying it through his search appliance. This is even without considering that they took funding of 20MM or more, and have no clear profit strategy. Those chickens will come home to roost sooner or later, and it will be at the user's expense.

This search app is dead in the water. Soon they'll pivot, and assuming they're unable to monetize their user data, they'll fold and this CEO will go on to consume someone else's investments in their next venture.

Allow me to pessimize further on this topic: unless their next funder/donor is an intelligence agency, they have almost zero chance at being a viable product that gets any use.
Because history has shown

1) it doesnt matter.

2) government contracts are lucrative. a government that seizes the means of production simply means they have the means to pay even more for contracts willy nilly. (a reference to companies that government pursue contracts not apple’s private sector dealings in manufacturing hubs. and finally this distinction is almost not possible in china, but the local chinese companies do operate independently with the party as a major shareholder)

3) you don't really know what the party/regime will do. just contract with them all. you dont get an invite from the head of state and then say “waaait a minute, are you guys far right/left/ideological extremists”, you’re like “hey! New local strongman that wants my company ok lets talk!”

4) dirty laundry is only aired if your client government gets invaded by two coalitions of countries at the same time. it just rarely happens and the only effect is that some idealist college kids notice that you were involved, once every generation

Especially the fact that loading a library compiled with GCC and fast math on, can modify the global state of the program... It's one of the most baffling decisions made in the name of performance.

I would really like for someone to take fast math seriously, and to provide well scoped and granular options to programmers. The Julia `@fastmath` macro gets close, but it is two broad. I want to control the flags individually.

Also the question how that interacts with IPO/inlining...
> Some people remain bitter. The kind of people who like to have arguments about history and historical figures continue to debate the matter

It's a really strange human quirk to get so worked up about historical events. Finland has these, yes, as excellently explained by the parent and parent's sibling comments. In the US you find people who get really really angry if somebody suggests that a civil war 150 years ago wasn't about slavery.

Heck, you'll even find people who somehow identify with ancient Sparta, apparently based on watching that really terrible movie (or even more terrible successor movies), and thinking that Spartans were uniquely badass and honorable and whatnot.
Are you telling us that one of the most popular cryptocurrency projects on the face of the planet which has access to thousands of the so-called 'brightest engineering minds' on the planet, after over 5 years, with billions of $ of funding at its disposal, has managed to make a minuscule change to its fee system? Wow, they're truly outdone themselves. What an exceptional team.

I wonder how many Ethereum developers it takes to change a lightbulb...
Typing with a keyboard is a good point - it’s fast. I can average almost twice my Boggle score if I type instead of writing.

I agree you can read faster than listen, but I just don’t buy that typing is faster than talking though, not for conversation. When you talk, the speaking and the listening are overlapping. Sentences are generally understood before the speaker even finishes saying them. That’s doesn’t happen with text chat. When you type into chat, the communication is serialized. There are reasons a group sitting together might use devices instead of talking, but I find it hard to believe that efficiency of speech is really a primary reason, unless you’re talking about sharing media like sources, images & movies, quotes, references, code, etc. for a group project.
Daily reminder that the identity of the victim or allegations of "state-actor" are not reliable pieces of evidence when it comes to determining culpability of a cybercrime.

From the article:

> Wardle found that the software contained code strings in Chinese, such as 安装成功 (Successful installation), and that the command and control server it connected to was located in Hong Kong.

From the CIA:

> In its release, WikiLeaks described the primary purpose of "Marble" as to insert foreign language text into the malware to mask viruses, trojans and hacking attacks, making it more difficult for them to be tracked to the CIA and to cause forensic investigators to falsely attribute code to the wrong nation. The source code revealed that Marble had examples in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Persian. These were the languages of the US's main cyber-adversaries – China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.

Goal of SMT isn't double the performance, it having >1 threads better using execution units within a CPU core.

The example frequently given is running an integer heavy and floating point heavy code at the same time - they don't use the same execution units, so they can better utilize available resources.

In the real world it's more likely that one thread is waiting on memory access or some other part of the system and the other thread can proceed during that wait.
To be fair, this is exactly how statistics work. The average downtime of self-hosted servers might be higher (arguably) but many people are under Google's yearly downtime (aka variance is high).

I wouldn't call having the de-facto standard for an advanced regular expression system, a full programming language and the entirety of the CPAN module system easily pulled in and used less powerful.

I use sed for a lot of simple stuff, but I use Perl all the time for more advanced stuff. Perl is great for grabbing complex chunks out of a line and doing something with them that requires a bit of state. For example, writing a quick and dirty logfile parser to figure out how many requests and how many bytes were used by each IP over a time period (the time period limiting usually being a prior grep before being passed to Perl). I've probably taken 60 seconds to write out something to parse exactly what I want from a log hundreds of times.
No. How hard is it to have faster pressurization and/or extra tanks? For any of the newer stations this is solved.

Gasoline is approaching 7€ per gallon in Germany. Cost per mile is cheaper with a hydrogen car. Public charging is more like 0.40€/kWh in Germany too. Cost per mile is is not that different between EVs and hydrogen cars.

The Mirai starts at 50,000€ before subsidies in Europe. It is nearly as cheap as the cheapest Model 3. Depending on the subsidies you get it could be even cheaper.

Future hydrogen will be cheaper and so will be fuel cell costs. People's mentality on this subject is entirely out of date.
