This is incredible. I remember a debate online (possibly on this site), years ago, where someone wished there were such thing as a reverse dictionary for when you know a word exists, but you can't remember how to spell it.

I think the opposing side was arguing that you could just do a web search, which is maybe true, but the specific example given was someone who knew there was a medical condition beginning with "C" which is something to do with how the body processes wheat.

Sure enough, this search page finds it as result number 82:

The world is such an odd and funny place now. My 2007 Toyota Avalon Touring drives pretty well with none of those 'trinkets'. The utilitarian value of a car seems to be an outlier to a lot of people these days.

I wonder if we'll be able to get back to the place where products we manufacture will span decades and commands good value.

Electric cars in my opinion should have fewer points of failure but here we are, hankering for adornments.

Maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks, crypto!
> Insurers say some attackers may even check whether potential victims have policies that would make them more likely to pay out.

> Dickson said one technology client had previously bought 130 million pounds of professional indemnity and cyber cover for 250,000 pounds. Now the client could only get 55 million pounds of cover and the price was 500,000 pounds.

As just relying on insurance payments is not sustainable, I hope we soon get to the point where companies that do not properly invest in cyber security get wiped out and ones that take matters seriously survive and increase their market share and profit margins. The same holes will be exploited by nationstate and identity fraud hackers, in this case it is just the consumer who ends up paying the bill.
Not sure if capacity is the thing here. Using someone else's wifi does harm to that person. They will be deprived of bandwidth and, if they have a data limit, you may be using that up too. With light, what you're getting is just their waste, it's similar to go through your neighbor's trash. With wifi, if you could use the leaking signal to heat your dinner or something like that, then it wouldn't be stealing, that's just their waste. However, if you actively connect to their router and use their bandwidth, it's a completely different story.
It will be around $40-45k. The fully loaded limited edition ones are $58,500.
> depriving the owner of the use

I suspect it is more along the lines of "depriving the owner of the ability to use", so as long as the car was away, it was a stolen car, because the owner couldn't choose to use it themselves, or to lend it to someone, or show it to someone, or just brag to someone about how cool it looks in their driveway.

Returning it may impact what happens afterwards, but can't change the fact that the car was stolen for a period of time.
My possibly unpopular opinion.

Go and find a part time job in Amazon Warehouse or a Restaurant. You will find, there are a lot not so smart people. And they are working "extremely" hard. Makes you treasure your current job which is being valued by your brain power.

I have also met lot of "Smart people" on paper, academia, or people specific in their domain. But the world have moved everything into niche domain that these people sometimes are so abstracted from the real world, to me on many fronts they are no smarter than those working in blue collar.

We dont have a simple way to measure polymath or generalist.

And I believe there is no such thing as laziness. Only Inertia.

And my final opinion, those who think themselves as dump are often the one who may not be very smart, but wise.
Yes, but how does static proprietary firmware blobs burned into ROM "preserve user freedom" vs. dynamic loading, even if the user has complete control? It doesn't, and that's why it's arbitrary.

I would use React or a similar library with renderToStaticMarkup to produce SVG, because the JSX syntax basically gives you an XML literal. You can compose XML expression and write functions that take and return XML fragments. Those features significantly reduced the XML/HTML boilerplate for a document export system I migrated to React/JSX. The big annoyance is that it requires a build step to transform the JSX into regular JS, but if you’re using Typescript already (I was) then it’s a single flag to enable.

Or go WebGL. That also sounds like a fun learning project.
Then, as someone who doesn't own property, why should I pay taxes that go in police funding just to protect your property? That means higher taxes which is very undesirable for someone who's already near poverty.

> a LOT of them are trying to get out and work with something else (several folks I know are moving to elixir)

Dumb move, Elixir has around 1000 job openings in the U.S while Ruby has 35000. In fact I find it pretty hard to believe they can't get a Ruby job in the U.S, and they choose Elixir from all stacks as a solution to their problem.
Sounds to me like they just wanna try Elixir and can't really build a good argument in their head on why they're doing it. Jobs-wise things are definitely not gonna be easier for them with Elixir.

On the ground your floor is either a basement or well, the ground. Whereas on higher floors your floor is another apartment and your roof (might) be the actual buildings roof.

Heat leaves far more easily if there is air on the other side of the wall and(!) you have the benefit of ground isolating you on the bottom floor

I love this idea, particularly empowering people to move without feeling like they need electrical assistance.

If this is to become a widespread product, I think it needs to address two linked issues:
(a) the product appears to be tuned to the specific weight of an individual, so that the counterweights/springs are neutral in use. Changing between individuals (or changing weight should the individual gain/lose weight) should be easy to do and hopefully transparent.
(b) the product can't be accessed if it is on a different floor. Without the weight of a user, if unlocked, it would skyrocket upwards. I don't want to lock into the paradigms of an elevator, but the user needs to be able to access the product even if another user moved it.

Unfortunately, the only thought I have to solve these issues is to electrify it, or perhaps a clever hydraulic system. In any case, I think with batteries, it need not consume power from the grid.

You can bring things up with a backpack. But yeah, it's less convenient than stairs, it looks worse and it is less inviting. That's why people like stairs. I'm not sure if the advertised product is that much better, though. It seems extremely slow and clunky.
The unit above acts as an insulator, so you have a heated/cooled unit above you versus outside temperature. The ground itself is a fairly good insulator, too.
I read the certification is some sort of consumer protection/advice. As a consumer, you would want to know the state of the device at purchase when you pay for the GPU. Not some maybe driver coming up in years.

It would be a kinda good idea to have a "rms would almost use this" sticker they could hand out, though.

I think they’re more talking about energy usage, monitors, desks, etc.

Only if you do few most touristic places in whole range of alps. Most of it is quiet and you will meet few people a day. But sure if you pick one of the most popular hikes in alps then its surprisingly crowded, especially in the summer. Autumn is far superior time for Alps hiking (colors, temperatures, weather).

Also don't get that camping restrictions rant in this thread - you can camp literally everywhere outside of natural reserve. If its private property and you have somebody to ask then ask for permission. Otherwise be polite, quiet, don't leave anything after you and that's it.

I've been doing it for last 10 years almost every weekend weather permitting, never any issue. Outside of proper alpinism / skialpinism never used huts.

Ouch. Germany is pretty bad with dental for public health insurance, but at least necessary basics are covered. So you’d have had to pay for general anesthesia (only local is covered unless deemed necessary), and for the gold crowns (only some cheap and ugly material is covered, same for fillings)
I have a theory that even though the serverless trend is sold as a technical revolution, it's mostly due to accounting practices.

Serverless is purely about CAPEX, vs OPEX.

Companies are so loath to make capital expenditures (CAPEX) that they will willingly let their employees waste thousands of extra hours learning a new development model so they can pay Amazon using operating expenses instead.

And it's funny because even though amazon has no choice but to use capital expenditures to
populate their datacentres with machines, they are offering lambda as a way to monetize the unused cycles.

So lambdas are being twice used as a kind of compromise to fill in the gaps on an accounting sheet.

I believe the joke is on us as technical people. We twist ourselves into knots to promote this new development model as a technical innovation, which it really isn't.

We have just made the time-sharing service (they used to have them in the 60s and 70s) fashionable again. (Along with the long feedback cycle which makes working on these systems so frustrating.)
I'd like to see the SAT scores of the people deciding these things. Something tells me they aren't that great at it and wants it gone, especially the math part.

After five years, I gave up my Matias quiet click due to its abysmal reliability. I had three units during that period: my original and two replacements under warranty. I love the keyboard and their customer service. But the interruption and administrative hassle were too much.

I use a Leopold with Topre 45g silent switches now. It’s not as nice IMO but it works all the time.
> My taxes aren't higher than in the US: IN fact, they might be lower than taxes plus insurance premiums - and that doesn't even touch on the deductibles.

I start to think that some people aren't really concerned by the amount they are paying. What they deplore is the idea that some "freeloader" could benefit from their taxes. Even if the net result is that they're spending less.
I put my eyes on the Ioniq 5 but I think its aerodynamics are worse than the EV6 (but I have no numbers and I'm not an expert). Anyway this record is about charging time, not energy usage. E-GMP supports fast load with 350kW chargers, and I'm pretty sure that, being a benchmark, they used all the tricks up in their sleeves.

This could easily just be a browser extension. Then I could also have more control over the credit provider and terms too.

Microsoft has no foot in the credit industry, they should not be anywhere near this avenue (even if they are partnering with another company to provide the credit)
Australia is the same, and if you decide to get private insurance you get the 2% medicare tax levy taken off your taxable income.
... in theory, in some places, maybe.

If you go to the mountains actually, you will see tons of folks camping around all the time, nobody has any issue with it. The only exception are proper natural parks, but that's understandable.
What if the renter moved out and the electricity to that apartment unit was shut off? The result would still be the same (a 19° unit) but nobody would be benefiting from the neighbors’ heat, so it couldn’t be considered stealing.
I have a https://www.unihertz.com/collections/smartphones/products/je... and a palm palm.

They are similar in size for height/width, but the jelly 2 is about twice the depth compared to the palm. Both are around the size of a credit card in width/height.

The palm works well if all you do is occasional sms, phonecalls and very little app useage (like I have my mobile banking app on it). It only runs a older android version (8). Make sure to de-bloat it aggressively if you get it (enable developer mode, connect via ADB and remove anything verizon and everything that sounds like it might have a phone-home "feature").

If you often listen to podcasts/music on your phone and don't want a mid-day charge the palm will not work. The jelly 2 is much more realistic when it comes to battery and with light usage I get 3 days out of it, normal usage (podcasts/music a few hours per day, some surfing and email) I get 1.5 days out of it. I don't use bluetooth headphones though, so not sure how much that impacts it.

I looked at a lot of "small" phones on chinese import sites, but most of them seem to run ancient android (like 4-5) and be really, really slow with bad battery life and questionable quality. Also if I buy from an unknown brand I'd want to run LineageOS to make sure I get updates and can remove potential spyware.

The palm is pretty cheap on ebay and works even if you don't have verizon (I'm in the EU and just removed the verizon apps and used a normal SIM).

In general there are no good options for small phones. The iphone mini is too large for my tastes, the jelly 2 is a bit too thick, and the palm is running old android and has too bad battery. Depending on your usage the palm or the jelly 2 are probably the least bad options.

Certainly and I agree that their experience was certainly rare and unique. There can be a lot of pleasure in discomfort and accomplishment.

> Land registration on blockchain is not exciting enough to keep making the news but it's being slowly implemented around the world since before the pandemic cryptocurrency bubble.

I've been able to find references to pilot programs in Sweden, Ukraine, and Georgia (the country), but is there anywhere that's actually adopted it such that a blockchain-based registry has the same force of law that a traditional registry has?

I'm particularly curious how a registry would handle an “I lost my private key” scenario. As I see it, either the blockchain is absolute and losing keys would mean losing the land, or there's another authority who can override the blockchain's version of the truth. In the latter case, it kind of obliterates the advantages of a blockchain.
> serverless hype didn't mean that programmers would only write business logic

Yeah, I've found that when we recently tried serverless, we ended up wasting tons of time bikeshedding multiple CI/CD pipelines.
Candle-light is more expensive than bandwidth is today. Also, bandwidth is the use over a specified allotment.

Aside from the obvious analog that your neighbors wifi is literally a light you cannot see, if they aren't maxing out their bandwidth, then it makes similarly no difference that you use it.

It's not 10 years ago, the neighborhood using your router for Facebook doesn't dent the bandwidth.

So how is it not comparable to stray light?

Game theoretic behaviour in society that has advanced beyond zero sum.

The most common example I know of is that if in a garden grows an apple tree, where one branch reaches into the neighbor's garden, is the neighbor allowed to harvest the apples from that branch?

IANAL, but IIRC German law states that 1) the neighbor is allowed to harvest the apples and 2) the neighbor can demand from the tree owner to saw that branch off.
Because the Microsoft date sync it’s web browser you want to wipe out trillions in value to the US economy, projects that could never be done outside of a large company filled with the best aligned talent (custom chips, google search), and hand it over to the next willing coordinated massive player with entirely different values and regulatory laws (China)?

I think this is a very silly idea that would be super destructive and net negative for the world.
I don’t think objective measures of physical strength tell you much about someone either, but if you’re testing strength to find the strongest people (for whatever reason), I’d still recommend using standardized methods.
>"Often, yes, it is illegal to leech your neighbor's wifi"

Yes. Our society has this pathological aversion of people having something for "free". I can turn this all upside down. By having all this giant infrastructure you are leeching by reducing my abilities to roam the Earth and feed myself without being someone's servant.

I think the root of it has something to do with the higher ups wanting and forcing people to work so that they can profit out of it.

But this is also something that allowed us to progress from semi monkeys with 20 year lifespan to what we are now.

This is a strange analogy to introduce this dilemma, the light spilling into the neighbour's reading room costs the lamp owner nothing.

Another answer for 'what leaders should be doing all day?'
No way it’s stealing. In fact, they are receiving something thing they didn’t ask for. It just so happens that they’re okay with the temperature. What if they wanted it cooler?

The construction of the building and their neighbor’s energy usage are not their problems to fix or be blamed for.
I think the scope is beyond that. My friend works for a startup that makes a medical platform for ordering things like wheelchairs. He and the company are bound by the law. The distinction is if you are working with protected health information, not that you are a medical provider.
I had a 2016 MBP for a while and never noticed it once. Interesting how we all get set in particular set of usage patterns. I might have liked it more if I'd ever even noticed that. Maybe it wasn't something that was as exposed in 2016?
I've driven across the US a bunch with the goal of getting it over with as soon as possible, and I have no idea how you would do it in a way that doesn't constitute real world experience. It's mostly driving in a straight line on open road for hours upon hours. There's little room for divergent experiences.

Also the Guinness record they beat was Tesla's old record so even if the test wasn't an accurate representation of real life, Tesla still underperformed Kia in those conditions.
Those two things are WILDLY DIFFERENT in real life. Broadly, "firmware blobs" are usually put there by companies and other entities that you can much better track (and sue if you have to). Dynamic loading stuff can come from any-darn-where. Apologies, but this should be really obvious.
Ugh, that FAQ has clearly deceptive marketing bullshit in it. eg:

Can I use my own molds with CocoTerra?

Yes! You can easily re-melt the chocolate from the CocoTerra machine
and pour it into your own molds.

So, that's a "No", not a "Yes". You can't use your own molds with the
machine.

But you're welcome to re-melt the chocolate afterwards however you
like.

Just like any other chocolate.

I live in Rotterdam and have been following the riots (these were NOT protests) closely. The rioters consisted mainly of football hooligans and youths with a migration background.

This had nothing to do with anything other than taking the frustration about the 2G approach to the pandemic and the announced ban on fireworks on New Years Eve to the street. The destruction of public and private property is immense. Are you sure you want to blame the dockworkers for that?
Seems to me its all the breadth of beer with funkier, faster fermentation; and more opportunities to involve technology.

So few other home uses for that kind of grinding and milling machinery, tho. I'm trying to think up anything else this could be turned to, and coming up with soaps, fireworks and flash powders, inks, paints, and pigments. Nothing food grade or wider niche.
