Happened to me on an account I didn't use for a couple of years. I used the same IP, login, password, recovery email. Nope, 'we can't verify it's you, try again later'. Later I tried, and tried, and tried for a few weeks, still the same.

I gave up, transferred all services linked to this email, with some back and forth with their support. Then, after a couple of month of not trying I was finally allowed in.

The moral is this: google can't be trusted with such serious and vital service as email. They can freeze your access to an account and offer no way or support to let you back in.
Performance or Impairment Testing is a much better alternative to Drug Testing for alcohol or heroin or PCP or being sleepy or having just broken up with your girlfriend or anything else that might cause a crash: require the driver to play a video game that proves they have good reflexes and quick reaction time.

This is not a new idea:

Performance Tests vs. Drug Tests. Dec. 25, 1990:

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-12-25-fi-7155-s...

>The Factor 1000 test is simple and takes only about 30 seconds. It consists of a software program on a personal computer equipped with a special keyboard and a control knob.

>Before starting on a job, the worker uses the knob to try to keep a swaying pointer in the center of the screen. The pointer swings faster and faster from left to right, and the test ends when the pointer swings too far, as it inevitably does. Workers pass if they can keep it relatively steady long enough to show that they are up to their own, predetermined standard.

>The computerized hand-eye coordination test indicates whether a person is too impaired to work for any reason--drugs, alcohol or even because of a sleepless night.

The Advantages of Impairment Testing over Drug Testing to Improve Workplace Safety:

https://predictivesafety.com/the-advantages-of-impairment-te...

>Since President Regan’s mandate for drug testing Federal employees in 1988, many private sector employers followed suit, and continue to follow suit, by testing their employees for drug use, especially in safety-sensitive industries like construction and manufacturing, under the impression that drug testing helps create and maintain a safe workplace (1). However, more and more employers are beginning to recognize the limitations and detriments of drug testing as a tool for enhancing workplace safety, understanding that drug testing is not a preventative safety measure if it can be considered a safety measure at all. [...]

>Cultural changes notwithstanding, some experts have been advocating in favor of impairment testing over drug testing for many years because drug testing is not a preventative measure, as described above. A 2010 report by the National Workrights Institute put it succinctly:

>Impairment testing is the practice of determining which workers in safety sensitive positions put themselves and others at risk by directly measuring workers’ current fitness for duty. Urine testing, in contrast, attempts to determine which workers have used specific substances known to cause impairment in the relatively recent past. (10)

>It's an interesting, and perhaps depressing case of a product design concept being far superior to what's available in the mainstream for a certain class of user, but cannot gain enough mainstream acceptance to be a viable business or even a well-supported service for those who love it. And far more than most other product categories, flight search has huge infrastructure costs, so it's very difficult to economically sustain niche products (from grim personal experience of being part of a team trying to build a novel flight search product ourselves).

Yeah they are probably counting on the fact that this is a Ultimate Collector Series aimed at Adult Fans Of Lego designed to be a display piece not a playset that gets taken apart and remixed into your pool of Lego pieces. It is a new thing though that is interesting given how long they went before making a set that was this hard to fully disassemble. Till now every set could come apart and besides stickers parts were fully generic and didn't get stuck together permanently. [0]

[0] Except for things you need the brick separators to fix, those configurations have always existed. I have noticed there's more of those being called for in sets lately. eg: 2x 2x1 flat plates together, it's very hard to impossible to separate those without tools.
I'd put it closer to the category of best practices than premature optimization. It's pretty much always a good idea. It's not that not doing this will break things, the alternative is slower and uses more resources in a way that affects all queries since larger datatypes elongate the records, and locality is tremendously important all aspects of software performance.

It'd be more interesting to use 2 AirTags, and try to figure out when the owner is away from the car, e.g. if you can see them take an Uber to the airport and their car is in the driveway.

To turn on my criminal mind: you driving around neighborhoods: a witness might notice you cruising around a few evenings ago and note your license plate (you'd have to go at night because during the day the cars wouldn't be there, you might have to go a few times to see what cars are available).

The AirTag/any tracking device is quite ingenous, just go to the mall carpark (no one will be suspicious, it's just someone at the mall) and have a better selection of cars at one place, plant the AirTags (riskiest part) and then wait. Even if they found it at home, you already know where the car can be found, and if you're worried the cops might be waiting, just wait a few more months, statistically the car will still be there.
This is a huge problem when you see discussions on music theory as well; claims that things like Pythagorean 12 tone scales are "universal" because of the simplicity of the ratios.

My favorite is the claims of the universality of divisive rhythm; where larger units (measures, phrases, the like) are subdivided into equal portions and those subdivisions are the building blocks of all rhythm ever. I think music education has gotten to the point where plenty of people (who are used to euro-centric western music, that is) are able to comprehend that some cultures use smaller than half-step increments or other scales, but the way our rhythm works is so ingrained that trying to explain additive rhythm is almost painfully mind-expanding, even those it's very very common outside of sub-saharan africa and western europe.

This also applies to people who try to make statements about A432 or whatnot, which relies on having a very narrow view of music theory as a whole

Honestly, most of the new good stuff is series; not movies. With the way television and streaming allows series with decent budgets, it's easier to craft a compelling story over 9 hours. Movies are more akin to "novellas" since they are time limited. How many people really read that many novellas or short stories?
I wonder what's the co2 impact of contributing to a thing like this. You're helping sell more flights in the end.
It is subjective but 3D max interface is much more intuitive. Like when navigating the 3D view ports. UE4 also has a nice interface that is similar to blender but feels better.
So a bit of a devil's advocate - when my dad passed away, my mum kept using his car but because it was registered in his name, and because the registration document was in his name, we ended up in an idiotic and bureaucratic situation where the car was due another annual inspection, but the registration document ran out of spaces for stamps the year before. Normally, this isn't an issue, you just go to the government office and they give you another blank registration document with more room for stamps(the stamps prove you had the car inspected basically). However, because the owner of the car(my dad) was deceased, there was no one who could do this, and the government official refused to issue the document to my mum as it wasn't her name on the document, not without the court documents proving that the inheritence proceedings have been settled(which took another 6 months). Yes, she could produce the death certificate, but that wasn't enough. So she couldn't get the car inspected, and therefore wasn't legally allowed to drive it.

I'm almost certain a car dealership would accept a death certificate if she needed another key made, but my point is - yes, even with an official document stating who is the owner, you can still end up in some weird edge case scenario.
Maybe the owner has an Android.

But Netflix offers stereo- I just have to manually select it each time I press play.

My apartment is small and surround sound isn’t worth the clutter of several more speakers. Is there a product for people with high end stereos that just does the minimum to bridge the gap to allow “decent” movie sound via surround sound “simulation”? I can’t be the only one with a nice stereo that also wants to use it to watch movies… and I still don’t understand why Netflix doesn’t support us out of the box with a “default to stereo” option.

I often download torrents with surround sound tracks. For some reason I don’t have the issue with the muddled sound though (with VLC).

“The goal is to achieve ignition – a point at which the energy generated by the fusion process exceeds the total energy input.”

“The experiment, conducted on 8 August, fell just short of that mark; the input from the lasers was 1.9 megajoules [vs 1.3MJ output]. But it's still tremendously exciting, because according to the team's measurements, the fuel capsule absorbed over five times less energy than it generated in the fusion process.”

The orange pin is hollow, but the red axle is behind it is not.

That gray axle sleeve has a stop about halfway through so you can't push an axle all the way through. It's meant to join two axles.

You could omit the green sleeve as it is completely smooth on the inside. That will give you better access to the dark gray axle, but the sleeve is probably there to provide structural support to the frame.

They might do a small update where they replace the "4 axle with stop" with a "5 axle with stop" and put a bushing on the outside to provide support between the stop and the frame. Provided, of course, that there's a brick's width of room where that assembly goes.

Edit: I just looked up the instructions for 75313 and found the section with the assembly. The assembly is the "hip" joint, where the leg connects with the main body. The assembly is connected so that the offending axles are parallel to the ground. The dark gray axle points inward and it looks like, at least on the front legs, it's too close to another frame to extend the pin so that it sits outside the frame.

>With most chrome traffic SSL, I don’t think they could tell much from the network traffic.

It's encrypted in transit, but it has to be decrypted to be meaningful to the end user and that's where they can eavesdrop, the kernel has full access to user memory and all syscalls, no?

>If Microsoft started doing this, it would be a lot of negative attention

They have a proprietary closed source kernel which can be reverse engineered by very few people outside Microsoft, I think putting a little backdoor there would be less noticeable than showing a message box to every user.
I don't know if it has to be that complicated.

I own X car, and key is lost/broken/whatever. I go to my dealership, show my ownership. They validate it with the systems they already have (again, at least in my country) that communicate with the ministry, and check my ID. Done. All handled at the local dealership level (where they are already familiar with local laws, so it's not onerous to follow local regulation).

>Audi refused to unlock the car of a pregnant woman who lost her keys during the emergency, the baby died.

Starting to get a bit out of hand with speculation, I think. I don't follow the logic with this one. If there is an emergency, emergency services would be called rather than Audi.

>Someone passes or the relationship sours and now you have people begging the car company let them use the car they have been using for years.

Dealership says "Please provide ownership documents". It's not a complicated thing or a novel concept.

Receiving a lot of funding from tech companies is not synonymous with being widely used within the M&E industry (can't speak for other industry verticals). That's on the studios and artists, not funders. Being an industry standard requires a certain level of entrenchment/integration/mindshare that Blender does not have yet.

I do think it's news because some breeds suffer terribly at the end of their life, like golden retrieves typically getting cancer at 60% rates. [1] Would you get a golden retriever if you knew that at 7 years-old it's very likely to get a brain tumor?

The same can be said for many breeds that suffer from breathing problems (pugs) or spinal issues (german shepherds) because someone decided that a german shepard should have a certain angle arc in its back because it was "visually" pleasing.

It's honestly disgusting, the UK kennel club bares the majority of this suffering because they somehow declared themselves the defacto authority figure during the late 1880s.

Just FYI, only super high end brands deal with trivial issues like producing spare keys themselves. If you lose a key to your Lamborghini then yes, you will be waiting a week to get a new key sent from Italy to you. But a normal Audi or KIA? The dealership does it - official dealerships have computers which can do this, and outside of authenticating with manufacturer's servers to issue a key, it's entirely within their purvue who they provide this service for. So no, Toyota doesn't really have any say as to who they make new keys for in Russia, other than providing official Toyota dealerships in that country with machines which can program new keys. After that point it's down to the dealer and to the local regulations.
The situation with almost-no-appeal big tech platforms reminds me of an article titled “the human-built world is not build for humans”[0].

Related phenomenons keep coming up (cities for cars, ecosystems of tokens and identities dependent on remembering secret passkeys, and so on). Desires to profit and to not have to trust each other keeps motivating humans’ attempts to devise environments that are hostile to humans themselves.

My Worry for America
Not directly, though I have some personal doubts that have zero basis in evidence.

It’s more a misplaced disappointment along the lines of “this is why we can’t have nice things” (because at a certain point money corrupts it). The number of times I’ve seen products and brands really have something special, and believe in them, and purchase and use the products, only to have them sacrifice integrity for money at some point is heartbreaking.

But that’s a me problem (and society’s problem), and not a Consumer Reports problem.

Now you have a new problem of no one agreeing on a standard saturation level. I'm noticing this more with "dark themes": everyone has a different idea of dark gray.

Since dark themes naturally lead to subduing all other colors except for little accent pieces, the screen is a collage of dark grays to the point that, instead of the background fading away, the background is now stealing the show from everything else. It's this dismal bouquet of gloomy colors and it's hard to focus on the content.

Contrast this (pun!) with terminals and console apps: your terminal is a constant background color while you're working. It doesn't change its shade of gray as you go so it really does stay as a "background" and isn't distracting.

Finally, I feel dark themes exhibit this more than light themes. I feel years of different subtle paper whites has made me less sensitive to variations.

I am saying that in that case, you are not a good position to assess public good vs. "your good". Any human being would instinctively take slightly better odds for the themselves at the risk of much worst odds for others. With this assumption, maybe the car should take that decision.
Snowstorms happen across a lot of the USA for a good 3-4 months a year. If stop/start/slow/slide driving in winter conditions kills your car, you could wind up killing way more than 10k people, either through exposure, or because a snowplow or another vehicle didn’t see the killswitched, snow-covered car and rammed right into it.

I like living in snowy places. I could see this being a real problem, just like snowy conditions mean self-driving won’t work for me for many years in my only vehicle.
Just to expand on that, patients aren't the only ones with a legitimate reason to access that data. Insurance companies need copies as well, so they would still want some kind of mass-data portal even if customers don't use it. If you change doctors, they want copies of your old medical records. If you see a specialist, if you go to the hospital, etc, etc. Pharmacies might call and ask if they think there's something weird about a prescription.

Direct patient contacts are a vanishingly small percentage of records requests for a doctor. Doctors could likely handle those via phone, but it doesn't solve the issue of needing an EMR.
This was a great read. Another way to appreciate the endless level of detail if you look hard enough is the Coastline Paradox[1], an idea expanded and articulated by Benoit Mandelbrot.

Life has infinite levels of depth if you keep peeling back layers and look down a bit further. And when you think you know something, dig deeper and you realize you know less than you thought.

There seems to be a world of difference between an information-based organisation, which would be very easy to outsource because the on-boarding and offboarding could be very fast (literally hours)

However, try doing the same for technical people who will almost always require onboarding for a significant period of time before they can be super-productive (at least on existing work) and there is a lot of risk here.

It also doesn't talk about those who claim "we really believe in your mission" and in reality are a PITA and you lose a couple of months, after which you need to let them go and find someone else.

Lastly, this seems a luxury for those who are wealthy enough that they can enjoy the idea of mission-first and profits second. Most businesses cannot afford to do this in the same way, they need the money to pay the bills.

Those complaints aside, I like it as an ideal and it is probably a good practice for most businesses to know what their mission is.
