I want VR, but not Oculus because of the FB linkage (I don't have FB). I also want it to be self-contained, so I don't need a fancy PC to run it, but it should still connect to my PC as a display device or something. I also want it to be open source, or at the very least it should not have telemetry, account logins, or anything like that for the hardware. It also has to work on any OS, it should work with my game consoles, and my TV output as a virtual screen. I just want a "dumb" VR display, effectively. An AR display would be nice, too, if I could put a "mask" over it to turn it into a VR display.

Right now, I am pretty sure there is nothing to fit that bill. If there is in the future, I definitely want this, if only to be able to play games while lying in bed or to have several virtual computer screens for coding and work.
I strongly agree. I wrote something similar here:

> It's usually called time theft when employees are on the clock but doing things they shouldn't be doing.

This is what you originally said.

Clocking for another employee, that is time card fraud, not "time theft". "Time theft" is not even a legal term.

There is a recent push to coin the term "time theft", in order to group anything that may not be considered working during work hours as a "crime".

An employee may commit fraud by not working and still collecting wages, which is a crime, but this tends to be used as an excuse for employers to make it look that any work time used for non working matters, is illegal. Break a bit longer than usual? Time theft. Taking a personal call? Time theft. Pooping at work? Believe it or not, time theft.

There are plenty of examples out there where managers try to curb and reduce employee breaks, even with ludicrous signs advertising "how to avoid committing time clock fraud" [1], and also plenty where those employees get canned accused of "time theft", but if you live in the US, in an "at will employment" state, it is enough that the reason is not illegal for an employer to do so.

But again, there is not such a thing as "time theft". "Time theft" is a made up term to scare people into total submission while at work.

> Batteries are going to get cheaper from production economies alone. This will quietly change the whole energy landscape.

Indeed, and even better, I think this will finally be the decade of grid storage. There are something like a dozen pilot projects for all kinds of theoretically scalable grid storage solutions being built and tested right now. This will make or break renewables as a viable source for baseload power.

It will also see the revival nuclear because grid storage can't be built cast enough and many governments don't want to invest in the infrastructure improvements that will be needed.
Wow, that is shockingly bad. Different objects just floating in space without lines between them to visually differentiate them.
This is true but I think simply having drivers think of licenses as something they can lose would be an enormous improvement. Right now even killing people will frequently not lead to a revoked license and everyone knows that. If there was a non-zero chance of losing your license, many people would decide that Facebook could wait.

It doesn't seem fair to enforce it on this post in particular.

I'm not convinced it's a useful abstraction. It is obvious that text vs. pictures vs. sound and so on have different semantic capabilities, e.g. try describing a new color to someone who has never had functional eyes.

> living without internet isn't possible

Sure it is, my MIL doesn't do anything on the internet other than entertainment (TV and music) and maybe email or texting. If she wanted to, she could cut it out completely and get along fine with landline phone calls and mailing bill payments and such.
Now I am curious about the background image. And a little disappointed that there is no principle page.

> Legally accountable for what?

The legally accountable for providing a product that doesn't cause undue harm to the population.

> They do not owe anyone free access

I pay for services from Google, so does the entire customer base of the play store. The user in the published article was a paying YouTube music customer.

> but they are have no obligation to let you renew,

I would disagree. When companies are allowed to become large enough that they have a significant effect on the ability for alternatives to compete in the marketplace, they assume an obligation to provide access to that marketplace to everyone. I absolutely do not buy that large service providers have the right to deny service to someone simply because they don't like them.

Additionally, when you form a business relationship, even when that relationship consists of exchanging your product for their data, there is am entirely reasonable expectation that the relationship won't be severed without cause. This is an expectation that enables commerce and it is to the benefit of a nation to enable those expectations where possible.
Not an audio expert, but I really wonder why they need a microphone for their adaptive EQ. I understand home speakers/theatre systems need to compensate for a room's shape and contents, but do human ear canals vary that much to need a mic?

I think it's pretty neat how sophisticated this adaptive EQ system is, but tbh, I haven't noticed much difference between this mic system and the "dumb" adaptive EQ that companies like bose/ikea etc do (Basically turn up base at low volumes, down at high volume to not clip).

Very cool stuff!
If the physical design of the street says that it expects to be traversed at 40mph, people will drive 35 to 45mph on it even if the posted speed limit says 25.

This situation offers tremendous benefits to traffic police officers a bit behind on their ticket writing, but minimal benefits for pedestrian safety, because the people likely to notice the sign and slow down were already the people likely to notice pedestrians and drive defensively.
I like the viral word personally, I see it positively as popular. Free software is pretty popular its so popular that even non free software is turned into "free beer" free software! ;) If its free and open source, free to use (legal or not) people will use it virally, like Windows was virally pirated because it was free, and linux is virally used in servers since they don't have to pay per core to Microsoft.
I agree, in opinion. Does anyone have any evidence to support this opinion? Specifically regarding sending sensitive information over google forms?
The price of a Lego set has been around 10 cents a piece for a very very long time.
Sometimes you can find cheaper if it's just a bucket of bricks instead of a set with instructions, sometimes you find more expensive when a set includes difficult to manufacture parts, or electronics.

There are also a few sets that are targeted at grownups, like giant starwars ships, and those will sometimes (rarely) rip you off for no good reason. But the 10c/piece rule of thumb is very easy to check.

This is easy to see if you've got decent visibility into your system. Have your DNS TTL already set to 300 seconds (the minimum). Switch your A records over to a new load balancer. It'll take far longer than 5 minutes for traffic to die down, and if your site is popular enough, traffic to your old load balancer will never fully die down.
Nope. It's relationship maintenance. I've often done the same - totally worth an hour here or there
even if you could get repair parts they're assembled with strong glue (search youtube for airpod teardown), making it pretty much impossible to disassemble without destroying it.
I totally agree. I'm sure there's a significant number of us that have landed wonderful, well-paid jobs thanks to former co-workers. That's totally worth a few hours of unpaid support for a former employer.
On Hulu the tv shows “12 monkeys” and “Future Man” if you like time travel fantasies. Despite sharing a source with the movie 12 monkeys, the show has its own legs and is much more serious and enjoyable with a satisfying wrap up. Future Man is the exact opposite, a comedy from Seth Rogan. If you liked Pineapple Express you are likely going to love this, and if you didn’t you should skip it.

It's not uncommon for drivers to get a big shot of adrenaline after a near miss, and turn that into anger instead of reflecting on their own actions. Sad commentary on human nature, I guess.

I've thought a bit about roads and it seems to me that having 2-way streets is a poor choice at the highest level. When you're driving north, the LAST direction you'd want to go is south. Yet the closest thing to you at all times is the southbound lanes. To go west - which you want to do more than go south - you have to cross those lanes. As soon as you decide to make all the roads one-way, a whole set of other issues come up, but having to stop and wait for half of your turns goes away.

The EPA drive cycle for city driving has an average speed of ~20mph and that turns out to be close to what I experience even when posted speed limits are 45mph. Traffic lights are a plague, and IMHO traffic circles are not much better. All I can say with certainty is that it's complicated.

You can't? You don't think eventually they won't crave the food they're used to eating?

New ideas are one thing, but your food, the food your mother cooked you growing up, will always be special to a person. And your people will understand you better than anyone else-- I'm the child of Indian immigrants and I still find people from my culture get the issues that I have to do through better than others. No one else knows or cares about the stereotypes one has to deal with, the particular ways culture can clash, the common challenges, etc etc
Tragic to read. The biggest thing imho is that drivers are making left-turns at speed. They should come to a full stop. Drivers are extremely extremely inconsiderate and selfish. When turning left, drivers are generally looking into the opposite lane where the cars are coming, looking for that gap, and then _gun_ it, so they can make the turn. Scanning for that gap in traffic is the only thing they care about, iso of _also_ looking for pedestrians or cyclists at the actual street they're turning into.

> But outside of very specific domains, no one wants VR.

Parallels with early computing industry? The very nature of technology adoption is such that it always appeals to a niche first aka "no one but a handful want it". Then, depending on incentives, an ecosystem crops up that continues to add value as it grows. Computers had internet to fallback on for network effects, with web and email help add value. For VR, that could be gaming, crypto-currencies, social networks... who knows what else.
Sometimes when this happens, I rotate my phone 90 degrees so that the whole width of the table can be easily seen.
The strong reaction is from being used to getting blamed whenever a car and its driver slaughter someone.

Now is the season for the reflective band discussion. Where pedestrians are being told they will be mowed down if not wearing any. Of course we will wear them, but that always moves the discussion away from the true problem areas. Pedestrians having to walk in the street because there is no curbside walkways, drivers driving too fast to be able to react in time, drivers not removing ice from their windows and lots of other factors contributing to accidents.

But no, lets blame those getting hit.

I'm curious how the newest airpods compare to the pros when it comes to bass. I had first gen airpods, then I bought a set of pros, but the bass was so weak I thought they had to be broken. Turns out it's just an artifact of how they were designed. Some people are okay, but a lot of people feel the same way I do. I ended up returning them and now I'd like to know if the g3 airpods are comparable to the pros, or comparable to the g1/g2 airpods.
The word propagate doesn't imply an active push as opposed to a passive pull. The author made an assumption that is outside the definition of the word 'propagate'. Either way the new information propagates through the network. The 24-48 hour window should be the first hint that a slower passive method is being used.

Usually when people discuss boycotts of international sporting events there is always a contingent that objects with that you shouldn't mix sports and politics or that sporting competitions "build bridges". It appears no one believes that anymore? Perhaps no ever did and merely used it to excuse the boycott's target? Personally, I think that you indeed should mix sports and politics and that repressive countries like China, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Eritrea, etc, should be boycotted. Their leaders care about international prestige and boycotts robs them of that. So this is a good move by the US. Though more consistency in who the US condemns for human rights violations would be nice.

One comment about the "okay, DNS records actually do “propagate”."

I assume he's talking about DNS notifications?

If so, I wouldn't say they're only for big providers. It's useful for anyone who runs more than one DNS server (and even Microsoft DNS does this, I think).

The basic idea being that you run a single 'master' DNS server and then send 'notifications' to the other authoritative DNS servers (the situations I'm used to, the master is 'hidden' and only the 'child' DNS servers are publicly accessible.

_BUT_, even in this case, the notifies are 'pushed', but AFAIK, the 'child' servers still 'pull' the zone from the master.

New Jersey has eliminated most left turns, especially on major roads.

What happens when you add NJ and SF together? More flight to other states?
The usual answer I've found to this question is Microtik, they strike a similar balance between enterprise feature-set and more consumer level price point as Ubiquiti sort of aims for with the Unifi line.

The quality/feature set is there and the software is well designed, even if not quite as networking beginner-friendly as Unifi has become. Mikrotik's RouterOS can do much the same tasks as Unifi's management console, and can configure for auto-adoption of APs/other hardware in the Mikrotik range just like Unifi does for their own hardware.

Most competitors (I see Aruba suggested) are priced much more into the enterprise/business buyer realm. Unifi has generally been keenly priced in this market, their latest Wifi 6 APs are just 99 dollars each (when in stock of course...). Microtik's pricing is generally comparable or cheaper than Unifi in my experience.

I still argue for autonomous vehicles with sentient robots that come alive in orbit and go down to the planet and explore. I very much doubt that humans will ever leave the solar system. Sadly our lifespans are just too short. One possibility is constructing very large telescopes. I stress very large!

Generators and such are designed to avoid manually writing contuation passing style which is generally difficult when you need compound state.

Especially since Rust makes manual contuation passing style very complex. Generally function pass around references with lifetimes bound to the execution of the function. While continuation passing style does satisfy the constraints needed the compiler can't deduce that thus requiring unsafe code.

Generators being built into the compiler can perform that transformation on your behalf and provide the nicer syntax of not having to write out your state explicitly.
One of the things I noticed is that as "smaller" participants in traffic get faster, it gets exponentially harder to account for them. Eg. runners are harder to see because you need to be watching a much wider angle that is more likely to be obscured by something or other. Bicycles even more so.

If you are not starting from a stop, my solution to avoid any close calls has always been to hover my foot over the brake on top of making my turns as perpendicular as possible (there are other reasons to do that too: I see cars tilt into the oncoming traffic lane, which slows oncoming traffic down and delays their left turn, making for fewer cars passing at that traffic light and increasing congestion). If there's any potential a pedestrian (think a small child or a short person) is obscured by any other object (a car, a street corner...), slow down even further even if you've got right of way.
I thought you would just end up doing everything as root lol
I've not driven in San Francisco. Are cars allowed to sit and block an entire lane until they can turn left? That is how things worked in the rural town I grew up in, but I can't imagine it working in a city. All the streets in the city I live in now which are too narrow for a turn lane are either one-way (thus have no need for a protected left) or they prohibit left turns.
