The situation with the "crisis" feels very manufactured consent. Right around the time "defund the police" is getting serious attention, suddenly there's a crisis of theft to take the wind out of the movement.
Yikes - what a sad list. I think this might be a hint that perhaps people want something else.
Here is the original animal study which found that aspiration could reduce the risk of vaccine induced myocarditis. It hasn't been reproduced in humans but this seems like something worthy of further research.

I'm 100% certain that most professionals are already using these for performance displays. I don't know a single person that doesn't use these cards for exactly this reason. We even use one for presentations/events at movie theatres just to make sure that nothing is going to put an errant pop up on the display.
Even if it's decriminalized, it's still a violation and the police can still show up and stop it (like a speeding ticket). Police have not been defunded. They don't show up because they are protesting the new district attorney and trying to make him look bad.
My father-in-law helped design the pilot seat for that.

Unfortunately he was unable to make the transition to computer aided design. After the defense cutbacks in the 90s, he could only find minimum wage jobs for the rest of his working life.
> Being poor doesn't necessarily mean you care less, but it can mean you have less time, resources and mobility to out towards finding a better school and having your child go to a better school, especially if it's not as close.

Knowing which school is the good school is hardly the problem. It's the one in the good neighborhood where the poor kids can't afford to live. The problem with the status quo is that knowing that doesn't get you into the school, only money does.

> If we could actually separate wealth from public education, maybe we'd actually see some change.

This is the idea of school choice. You give every kid in the state the same amount of money for school and don't gate admission by street address and the poor kid at least has a chance to go to the better school.

You would then end up with admissions criteria like test scores for the better schools, which would have some disparity in them, but how is that worse than the status quo of every rich kid going to the good school and every poor kid going to the bad school? At least there would be a path for getting out of the hole based on something other than having your parents make more money and buy a very expensive house.

And then you can work on improving admissions criteria so that promising students with low income parents get to go to better schools. Or better yet, start your own good school that does exactly this without needing permission from the parents of dumb rich kids who want your slot.
This came to mind. Somebody used excel to implement RSA as an educational tool.

I’ve never seen any billboard or electronic advertising running on anything running MacOS. The only time I can think macs were used for anything other than the creation of the content was when we used to put Mac minis into broadcasters to deliver the content to. But we put windows on them.
A few years ago, I used elementary OS for my workstation at work. As part of an upgrade, I ran their backup program to make a backup to a removable disk. It went through the full backup process. Apparently, there was a 'bug' in the software where if you click on it, and then hit select in the folder dialog, instead of double click the destination, (it might have been the other way around, it was a few years ago). the backup would essentially write an empty file. How much fun it is to rebuild all your data from other sources!

I submitted a bug report and essentially got a DM from someeone that it was still on their todo list, and had been that way for a while. That was the last time I used them.

For easy to use, I really miss CrunchBang Linux.

This states that thefts under $950 are still illegal, but the actual amount of prosecution that happens is still up to the DA. I'm interested in how many of these cases (as a percentage) are actually prosecuted.
Would be disappointing for them to remove it for basically no reason, especially considering you can see a B-2 parked on the tarmac (https://www.google.com/maps/place/38%C2%B043'29.9%22N+93%C2%...) in the nearby Whiteman AFB. The B-2 was first flown 32 years ago. Its existence is neither covert or secret, but often used to do flybys at freaking football games where thousands of recording devices are present and active. There's virtually no national security risk with these images because any imagery obtainable by Google Maps would've been obtainable by whatever adversary long ago, plus some more.
Do you have any data to back that up?

In the case listed above, they have reason to report in insurance claims, yet it isn't manifesting there either.
I favor both. Let's knock the work week down to 36 hours, and let's replace some of our social programs and tax credits with a (small, to start, but universal) UBI.

This works the problem from both ends: it supports employment and wages by reducing the supply of labor, and it still betters the situation for those who are most negatively impacted by shortened work weeks.

I made a very quick hack to deal with this; it should hide the dot. Improvements welcome:

https://github.com/s4y/undot

EDIT: As far as I know, the best long-term answer here is for apps that present visuals full screen to "capture" the external display for exclusive use using an API (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coregraphics/14562...), but that's not super common right now.
I don't know either very well (and guess you know phabricator very well) but it seems to me the criterion that there's a big difference between the two on is the last -- significant developer community not employed by the leading entity, though it isn't _that_ strong of a point for Zulip; it isn't say PostgreSQL. That also may be the best case for the "will" in the title, though it'd of course be better to say "Why it's relatively likely Zulip will stand the test of time" or "How we've tried to build Zulip to stand the test of time" rather than "Why Zulip will stand the test of time".
Those are irrelevant tangents. You don't win the game by being best at solving the trolley problem. You win the game by making a car that is good at not crashing.
Imagine 10 years ago if someone posted videos like the ones we see today of flash mobs shoplifting major retailers, or of stores literally BOARDING UP their windows in major urban centers. there would be no discussion, no debate, no “deconstruction of modern crime” - none of this handwringing pseudo-intellectual nonsense.

In 2010 This would have been handled. Not sure what changed but these cities and their bureaucrats really don’t seem to care. People, however, do care about themselves, their families and their businesses. if this continues you can expect a major outflow of people, capital and talent.

Maybe you could use the accessibility zoom feature to zoom in slightly and crop it out? Silly workaround though.
By buying wind and solar power capacity instead of paying spot price. That's what Google has done in the north-east of the Netherlands, Microsoft in the north-west and Facebook is now going to build in the middle. All close to wind energy parks on which they buy long term capacity.

Which on planet scale is great, because it puts all those datecenters on renewable energy which is good for everyone. But on country scale it's a problem because it consumes a huge part of the available renewable energy and requires building new wind farms to meet climate change agreements. And people don't like wind farms in their backyards.
Not sure if it's listed or not but one I'm pretty happy with is smallPDF based in Switzerland.
https://smallpdf.com/

I got pissed off when I wanted to rotate a PDF 90 degrees on my dad's computer and adobe wanted to charge for it, then I found that smallPDF could do that and a whole lot more like edits and signature collections. I ended up subscribing him but the free tier already does several things that adobe would charge you for so I encourage anyone to use this service.
I'm sure many people fell for the optical illusion being sensationalized as well. IIRC, the Breaking Points podcast -bought- into the narrative trickery when they interviewed him.

This is in Canada but my spouse (aged 55) has scaled back their workweek to three days. I think the 40 hour grind (lets face it - almost nobody works 9-5 anymore, paid lunches are a thing that most companies have jettisoned) wears folks down and once you hit your middle years your priorities really shift. Providing a healthier work schedule is really to everyone's benefit now.
Tailwind seems to be more mature and better documented. Apart from that, they're pretty similar, so if you're used to one you probably won't get much of a benefit from switching to the other.

I see that the example websites from Tailwind look much better than those from Tachyons, though I'm not sure whether that's just a matter of taste.
Or they know that the DA will not prosecute, so why bother.

Wow, this is one of the most misinformed takes I've seen in a while. I know a number of performers who use a Macbook for their visuals, and they absolutely just plug their machines into whatever I/O is available at their venue. I don't know where you're getting this idea that everyone just lugs around a rackmount AV machine, and if they don't they're not truly a "professional".
You have one and only one Aadhaar number.

You give it to every service provider that has internal reasons to prevent double sign-up (usually: state sponsored subsidy)

Or if you don’t comply, the service provider will share their entire database with UIDAI (Unique ID Authority of India) and discover your Aadhaar number and add it to your record themselves. This scheme was colourfully marketed as “inorganic seeding” and ran without legal backing for several years.

If an Aadhaar number shows up twice in the database, it is considered a duplicate and the extra entry is deleted from the service provider’s database.

If no Aadhaar number shows up for a customer, it is considered a ghost and that person is also removed from the database. Sample side effects:

1. Several individuals who depended on the state for food grains were now classified as ghosts and died of hunger. The government attempted to dismiss the news as too fantastical to be true.

2. In an experimental case, this was done on a voter database in one state, and two million individuals found they could not vote in the 2019 elections because their voter identification was deleted. The government saved a shitload of money by not bothering to notify these individuals, also in violation of a legal requirement for due process.

Somewhere in the middle of these delightful experiments, they acknowledged that it was a bad idea to allow random service providers to upload their entire customer database, so they stopped the service. This enlightenment conveniently came after every major provider had run through the program once.

Later still, they acknowledged that if a service provider can add an Aadhaar number against a customer’s record without the customer’s consent, then nothing prevented fraud from occurring within the service provider. The solution to this problem was to acknowledge that Aadhaar numbers are confidential, so that an individual is protected from fraud in their name — as long as they manage to keep their number confidential.

Of course, no solution was found for service providers adding random Aadhaar numbers to create new ghosts.

Oh, and incidentally, it is not possible to perform biometric authentication on a dead person, and so it is not possible to mark an Aadhaar holder as deceased. The dead cannot certify their own death, and as RS Sharma — that founding Director General (whose post was later designated as CEO) keeps telling everyone [1][2], Aadhaar numbers were designed to be public and usable only against biometric authentication.

So now by design, Aadhaar numbers are perpetual, valid as long as they are in use, and any service provider can claim to be providing service to any Aadhaar number, and dead people can’t complain about deficient service, which is most convenient for fraudsters. The dead live on as ghosts in the machine.

Good old Shrek. There was a large cardboard cutout of Shrek right outside of the entrance of the lighting department at the PDI [1] building in Redwood Shores. PDI animated the first version of Shrek after an attempted motion captured version by DreamWorks didn't meet expectations.

The cardboard Shrek was holding a bucket of cash and I would always laugh at the crassness of the image. Whenever times got tough at DreamWorks, it was time to for PDI to make another Shrek! Our punishment for making movies like Over the Hedge, Bee Movie or Monsters vs. Aliens was another Shrek movie to fill the coffers again. When the fourth installment of the Shrek franchise was announced, I remember Jeffrey Katzenberg stating "We decided that the Shrek story still has more to tell." What he really meant was that the bank account was empty, the stock price was low and Shrek could be counted on to bring in another decent box office result. Good times! How I miss PDI.

Yes, if they were ruled at fault, just like any other company.

If the operator was ruled at fault, they would receive consequences.

Are you insinuating that Tesla operates on a higher level than the law and is receiving special privileges vs other automakers, or are you saying all automakers should be more accountable? What event are you pointing to they should be more accountable for? Or is this all just a vague hypothetical?

At least with the tracking, thieves are now using Apple Air tags to track and plan carjackings. With a Tesla, so much focus being on the app and connectivity, it is more likely that a person would be aware of this tracking or at least the capability of it. FWIW my wife knew about the location finding, she just had never actually followed me driving around.

She found out when I used it coordinate a birthday surprise at our place, I could tell when she left her office and was about 30 minutes away.
Did you stabilize 18.04 over a couple days to make sure you had caught all the reconfig required? It should be no different than 18.04 > 20.04 with that step I would think. I am currently at this phase ;).
I discovered this form of theft in 2003 ... In high school, I realized I could fill my cart, commit no crime until I was near the exit of the store, then transfer the items from cart to a shopping bag, and walk out without paying, running halfway around the block to my car (No plates on camera). I later believed in karma when there was a break in and only my stolen dvds(as well as my entire collection) were taken.

>"I wanted to rotate a PDF 90 degrees"

I am continually frustrated at just how difficult of a problem simple PDF operations are on Windows PCs. Even looking for alternative PDF readers is a complex and confusing task. And, every top result wants to either charge or require an account to use it. The FOSS tools aren't great either. Why can't Microsoft make a product like Preview for Mac which allows for such things?!?
Great, so now even cars, one of the few things that if maintained properly you could expect to last more than few years, will now be the same cheap, disposable, Chinese made landfill-fodder everything else is quickly becoming.

This "Car" is no different than the cheap Chinese "e-bikes" currently flooding the market. Made out of the cheapest components possible, while cutting every corner possible, and sure they're cheap as sin, but they'll invariably end up in a landfill in a couple of years.

Garbage like this is why we need full life-cycle costs built into the crap we buy. You might be saving a little up front on your "Cheap" EV, but the rest of us will be stuck with the costs of properly disposing of all its highly toxic materials it when it falls apart in a couple of years as it was designed to do.
There is no reason your employer can't offer you the insurance, or put the same amount of money in a tax excempt account for your to purchase your own insurance from. The only reason why is employers love you to be 'tied' to them for the benefits.
Well... that was a mistake on Apple's part.

Got to wonder who made this decision and how many people reviewed it before it was deployed. Then again, most people aren't doing audio recording while using Keynote (or Powerpoint). Something like this could very easily fly under the radar across the entire company.

This looks like one of those problems where the edge cases are damned obvious in hindsight but aren't noticed until it hits production. Happens to everyone with a non-trivial product.

The real problem here is Apple has a history of ignoring these design mistakes for a very long time. Even when they do fix things, they have tendency to hide any mention of it. It will probably be suddenly and quietly fixed months later in some future point update.

It's that why they don't operate the one of the Azure datacenters in Germany? It's managed by Deutsche Telekom and Microsoft doesn't have access.

Edit: They may have changed that, it's a Deutsche Telekom company that managed the physical access, that seems a little pointless, if everything is available via the internet.
A number of 0.07% is ludicrously low

I have a relative who worked at Walgreens in the bay area. Mind blowing daily theft. The walgreen shut down.

Local politicians say theft is falling. But at least this location did not report each theft - it wasn't worth it, they'd be busy filling out forms to report theft all day and even if caught nothing would happen.

The big risk was actually that a thief would be caught and get hurt and then sue. There was a much higher chance of consequences for that then the theft itself. This location at least went to extreme lengths to tell employees not to stop the thefts.
Thank you! It's crazy to me that anyone that would consider themselves a professional would mirror their desktop for the use cases these people claim to be using.

1.6% of petroleum products consumed in the US went to petrochemical feedstocks (which I'll take to be mostly plastic). Far more petroleum is just burned, and this doesn't even count coal. In terns of CO2, plastics are almost negligible.

Also came here to discuss this. Super interesting opportunity to reverse what they're doing. Yeah I'd agree it's color filters which would avoid duplicating lenses (probably the most expensive component) or dividing the light energy. Filters would give you the most photons per color per shot. I wonder if the filters are mechanical or electronic somehow. As another commenter calculated, it's 10ms between shots, which is not that impractical to move physical filters around when you consider modern consumer camera shutter speeds of around 0.125 milliseconds max.
I envision a world where all sensitive data is secure, governance protocols are built into products by default, and access & control procedures are transparent. One way to do this is empower developers to deploy zero trust solutions without the burden of complex security and access infrastructure.

For the developer: get software to market faster without needing to build things like encryption key and certificate management systems, secure storage with element-level ACLS, multi-tenant backend, etc.

For the customer: have fine-grained control over who accesses your data and severability controls if needed.
