This is the weirdest Easter egg I have come across in a toy ever. Something tells me that this will become a collectors item like the upside down stamp Inverted Jenny.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_Jenny

From the article:

The cactus was sold on Walmart’s website as an educational toy for about $26 and sings songs in English, Spanish and Polish.

But Tanner, who is Polish, said when she listened to the Polish lyrics, the cactus was singing about doing cocaine, drug abuse, suicide, depression and used profanities.

"It just so happens that I am Polish and when I started to listen to the songs and I heard the words," she said. "I was in shock. I thought what is this some kind of joke?"

The song is by Polish Rapper Cypis, who is reportedly unaware his song was used by the Chinese manufacturer of the children's toy.
For all the useful information in this article I find it devalued by the first piece of advice being "absolutely just spend $2000 dollars without worrying too much and if you can't afford it just go into debt".

I'm sure that getting past decision paralysis and buying something is a decision that most people won't regret, and ebike adoption is great for everyone, but the fact that this is a person with 30? 50? ebikes makes me sceptical that they have the normal buying influences the rest of us do.
I’m not sure where you’re from; I’ve lived in various continents - nobody starts counting things like “weeks” from 0.
The components of this job may or may not include:

- desktop (human!) support

- networking inside buildings

- networking between buildings

- server maintenance

- OS administration

- authentication systems

- local services (DNS and NTP are the most important, but your end users will think of file sharing and printing as most important)

- external services

- security (information, yes, but possibly physical systems, too)

- backups (nobody cares about backups, they only care about restores)

Figure out which of these are currently running, then which are your responsibility. Document everything, and save copies as automatically as possible - you have four sites? You want five copies. One in each location and one in a secure off-site location.

Make lists. Review them in the morning and before you go home.

Get a copy of Limoncelli and Hogan's book, The Practice of Systems Administration, and the follow-up Time Managment for Systems Administrators. Expense them.

Later, figure out costs.

Good luck.
Though the tech may be different, it's a good example of how superior cooking tech like that described in the article may never reach the market. And if tech like that in the video, which is really just the same old microwave tech with evolutionary improvements to the sensing and control functionality, didn't make it, how will a revolutionary change like SDC fare? And even if it did make it, people would probably misunderstand and mistrust it. Would microwave popcorn have to come with a new warning? "Do not use the popcorn button on your microwave, unless it's using Software-Defined Cooking version 3.4.9 or later"?

Those who do not learn history are doomed to reheat it!
What if this is done on purpose? If they make the UX too easy then since this tech is so impressive it will be shared across the general population and quickly the service will get overloaded. This way only those that truly have the patience to fiddle with controls have the ability to get it working.
Sure. Don't buy it

You are just adding more anecdotes which I already told you is meaningless.

> That's "pretty meaningless" without any data backing it - what's driving that revenue?

All the big IT Outsourcing companies are listed on the Indian stock exchanges, you can go to their sites and read the annual reports to see what is driving that revenue. Majority of their revenue comes from the US. Also check the share price of those companies for the last 20 years, where your bank failed, other succeeded in outsourcing their operations.
Okay, that's a great suggestion, let me go read some more suggestions on how to do something other than research things /s

You wave away my association of "reading _too_ widely" and "analysis paralysis" by sharing your preferred definition of the latter ... but that isn't really an argument against the association of the two.

I didn't say that analysis paralysis causes reading too widely. I said that they are the same, so if you want to take your definition of analysis paralysis as a given then you could say analysis paralysis can cause reading too widely.

Anyway, all I wanted to communicate with my comment is that when you say that you can do "too little of X" but not "too much of X" then you are biased on X, there is always someone who takes X too far and you may not see it because you've associated those people with something totally different.

Personally I don't believe in "wasted time" or other subjective notions (in the abstract) so for me this whole discussion is lacking context (you can waste time if you have a context; some loss function, otherwise no).

Hard disks attached to the system as an ordinary mass storage device tend to disappear completely from the bus in case a bad sector has been hit. Learned about this while building RAID over USB at one of my former employers (don't ask). While SAT is virtually a passthrough over USB avoiding such disappearances and its presence is mandatory in, for example, data recovery scenarios.

Before(?) SAT, there was Cypress' ATACB for the same purpose: https://www.cypress.com/documentation/datasheets/cy7c68300c-...
For what it’s worth, I had the damndest time with Calculus until I got a good professor. When he explained it, everything clicked. A good teacher makes a massive difference. It might be worth giving it another go.
The reason for which I attempt to summarize your position is very much because I wish to avoid arguing against something that you're not claiming. So far, it's the only technique I have found to discuss online with people with whom I disagree while learning from the conversation and avoiding turning it into a slugfest. Apparently, I'm failing.

I'm going to thank you for your time and wish you a pleasant day.

As a side-note, I'm well aware of the Dunning-Kruger hypothesis. I've seen it in action all across the board since the beginning of the crisis and, frankly, pretty much all the time for as long as I remember paying attention, technocracy or not.
I'm also not sure, and interested. Sometimes modules fit together, sometimes not. However, there are nicer examples of this concept. My personal favorite, with an online switch configurator: https://www.tem-si.com/

I love this setups because you can easily retrofit a switch with a motion sensor, not needing to drill new holes or add cables.
Its not my analysis, those are the facts, their revenue keeps going up, their profits keep going up, their share price keeps going up, their clients keep going up. Now you do the math.
I suck at both. So I guess that's something you can be thankful for (that you're not like me).

The problem is not Apple, this is just symptoms of the crisis.

Erdogan developing his personal power and doing nonsense in all political fields (military, diplomatic, economic, democracy, minorities...) with the dream to restore the Ottoman Empire with him as a sultan is the major issue.

Turkey is a great country with a great people, but they are living difficult times. A harsh price to pay for following a megalomaniac.

Again I complain on the irritating habit of non-descriptive naming of files.

book.pdf

Really? I'm saving the file for a later review and this name will guarantee I either completely lose the file or will spend more time than necessary to locate it. The other option is to rename the file on saving, which is some work which needs to be performed by each user, instead of being done just once on the source. I think this is just impolite.

Here's a proper name you can copy-paste:

> As if anyone would believe this woman with 3 children was not fully aware of the tradeoffs they were making in exchange for the higher pay.

1.) The tradeoff now is different. It changed.

2.) People used to long commute say pretty much same things when they change job. I realized how much easier my life is when working from home during covid too. I can completely relate to "now realizing how much better it is when I save full hour a day and plus can organize my own day as I wish".
Maybe not less than a penny, but $0.20–0.35 on the cheapest Ethereum L2 rollups [1]. That'll drop by almost an order of magnitude more in the short-term if/when the calldata gas fee reduction EIP passes (could be medium-term if it doesn't get implemented before the merge).

Long-term, it should drop to fractions of a cent once sharding is implemented. But, that's years away and hardly relevant.

It's gonna fix everything - misguided. It doesn't fix anything - also misguided.

There is a shocking lack of people with medium opinions on crypto.
A lot of good advice is already thrown around. Let me add another tip:

Always do smoke testing. After setting up a system, and it starts working, reboot once. No preparation, nothing. Just reboot out of the blue.

If the system boots and works as normal, you're done. If not, fix the problems and retry.

Will save a lot of headaches down the line.

Also, document all your procedures. Everything. To something tidy & local. Something like TiddlyWiki or a tool of your choice.
For almost 40 years, I felt as a person with poor social skills.
A few months ago, one of my son was diagnosed with adhd and a high IQ.
the adhd symptoms explanation resonated with my own life, so I went to consult. It resulted that I'm also gifted with an high IQ.

As I searched about this team, I learned that I don't really lack social skills, it's that my interests and my way to express them is not in the norm, so that only 1 or 2 percent of the persons I meet are aligned with me.

In addition, as many gifted persons, I'm really hard with myself, and I feel terrible at many domains where in fact, I'm quite good at.

In conclusion, I do not lack social skills, I'm just wired differently, and I have to accept that.

TL;DR; part:
So maybe are you in the same situation: not lacking skills, just wired differently?

Cheers :)
It's possible that buying the TV and removing the toxisity is more effective - you get the subsidised price, but the manufacturer never makes the ad money back.
This is good news. I wonder if it will be followed up by requiring people to change passwords on already insecure devices. I somehow doubt it.

i was thinking that maybe a different approach with regard to latency could be tried... after all, these are not trades that need to reach a central server.

Rather than reduce latency, why not increase latency so that for the participant with the worst bandwidth, it can be delayed 1 sec, for the one with the best, it is delayed so that it syncs with the other person.

For a period of time when all participants have clicked that they are ready, real time is suspended, and some kind of calculation is made that will the voices in sync.
None of the answers I see writes about the main currency of social people: looks. Go to the gym and get to the top 50 percentile of people there (be able to do 15 pull ups, 40 push ups). When you get older this will get much harder, so use your youth to maximize your genetic potential. It will be boring, but most people do boring stuff all their lives.

There are of course other aspects of looks as well, try to get into the top 50% in all of them, and then try socalizing.
I never ran BeOS or had this motherboard, but I immediately had memories of the Celeron 300A from 1998. Was virtually guaranteed to run at 450Mhz. It replaced my parents’ Pentium 133 which was released just 3 years earlier (I say that now but 3 years earlier for a 16 year old is huge). Voodoo2 came out in the same year. You couldn’t even get this stuff in a prebuilt PC so people taught each other how to build from components. High speed internet was just becoming widely available in North America. Linux was just starting to spread beyond CS people to nerdy young people. Several other OSs and architectures had promise but ultimately failed.

I’m too young to remember the first PC boom, but at least in my lifetime there was never a more exciting time for home computing than 1998.
It’s all about improving quality of life.

If we all are satisfied with living like they did in the early 1800’s, we could do it right now and nobody works.

Of course you’ll die of a bacterial infection, but otherwise…
I totally recommend taking some lessons in social dance. Be that Salsa / Bachata or some other kind of pairwise dance that is popular in your local Scene. The interesting thing is that it is a bridge between the wild west of unpredictable social interaction and the regimented software geek mentality.

There are rules to the interactions that almost all can agree on and these are based on learning musical rhythms and patterns which most people can do with practise.

However you utilise this mechanistic learning in combination with crossing into another person's inimite personal space. The behaviour you are allowed is well defined and safe within the rules of the dance. This gives you the opportunity to practice social interaction in an inimite but limited manner where the rules are fairly clear.

For example it is possible to dance close to a woman who you have never met and then at the end of 5 minutes say thank you and move to another partner. You get to test your mechanical learning of the patterns and at the same time learn that people are nice and friendly and things that may have seemed terrifying are not.

Basic tips.

#1 dress smart tidy
#2 make sure you smell neutral
#3 always respect personal space. You will know when too close is too close.
#4 always say hello and say thankyou
#5 practise what you have learned at home in front of the mirror so you are not worried about tripping over your feet. Muscle memory is your friend.
Yes, technology has, does and will fix societal, political and economic problems and make new ones. Crypto has a lot of revolutionary improvements for everyone (transparency, immutability, security, anonymity, digital ownership, different types of possible property and cooperation).

So what good does it do to the farmer? Maybe he doesn't have to pay that much tax to the feudal lords, maybe he doesn't have to sell his plot to Bill and instead makes a DAO with his farmer friends to keep his land ... Maybe he can even vote for a party that would promote the use of crypto and run govermental transactions over a public ledger to reduce corruption, maybe one where a more direct digital democracy would be implemented with a multitude of different consensus types and protocols ...

> I had never heard of loewe, but after 10 minutes of searching, I still know nothing more about them - there is no pricing available, no idea where to buy them and no list of models. The one model I could find I also can't find tech specs for because the download link is broken.

Loewe are indeed wonderful TVs totally letdown by their marketing and distribution.

FWIW their website (which I linked to above) does have model and spec information, but it's fair to say that they've fallen off the radar for most consumer-TV review sites, and even their user-base forum[0] is predominantly German-language (although any questions asked in English do receive a response).

I think the problem is that the TV-market is saturated by the major brands, and they achieve market-dominance by stealing and selling their users' data, instead of pricing their TVs realistically. Most people don't care.

In my new (French) apartment, I'm going to change all French plugs into Schuko plugs. They're fully compatible with all appliances (because of the CEE 7 Schuko plus French standard), but the simple fact that you can put the connector in any way is simply great (just as USB-C was life-changing on mobile devices)

Weight reduction is anything but a simple cycle for the greater part of us. Considering thorough practicing and consuming less calories as the resources to accomplish is a fight in itself. Also, for the people who set out upon this excursion, it is the hardest to stay aware of this is a direct result of timetable requirements. Indeed, even the outcomes set aside a ton of effort to become evident, which can demotivate a few of us.

You don't learn these things in books or on youtube, you have to be out there and out of your comfort zone.

Don't buy these "how to make friends" "how to be the most interesting person in the room", &c. bs books. Find local meetups or groups about your hobbies (or new hobbies you want to try) and go there, talk to people, make connections, don't try to game the system, people can easily tell when they're being played

I used to hate meeting new people and chatting but now I see it as an opportunity to learn about new things, learn new hobbies, get a glimpse of their lives, &c. Most people want to talk about these things, start by being a good listener, unless you have some kind of serious psychological problem the rest should flow

Can you point me one manufacturer whose is smart tv is simple for the user to replace the software it runs?
Such a system would need a box in the basement and lots of seperate wires to outlets, which would be expensive. Or it would need to put more smarts in wall sockets, similar to adding USB. This is more of a safety risk than just plugging in a usb charger. It requires more skill to install, reduces seperation between high and low voltage parts, could become obselete and has components that might wear out. Also, any system that encourages the use of extension cables is a safety risk. The last thing we want is someone plugging a 5kw heater into an extension cord bought on Ebay.

The current system is nice and flexible and simple enough to be safe. Extension cords work well when you are plugging in a bunch of usb devices and tv/laptop/console. But you can also use the same outlet for a hair dryer or a mixer. Higher current devices like ovens, showers, and cars need to be treated seperately to prevent unsuitable parts adding a fire risk. Lack of compatability to domestic appliances is a feature.
