For real? Check ebay. Yes, I'm serious. And this applies to general stuff.

For example, if you need to claim insurance on something that was stolen or damaged, insurance will usually pay on the FMV of the item (given its year, condition, etc)
I wouldn’t think too far into this. All that is required is the application of experience and appropriate cynicism. The tech isn’t even relevant and neither is the reality.

web3 is a marketing term and is easy to leverage hype on as it implies progression and a new arena of opportunity.

By the time anyone has peeled off the marketing and realised it’s the same old bullshit people will be too far in to admit it and death march over the horizon.
When you get a call offering mid to high six figures you’ll consider it.

Frankly, I view apple as equally poor, and wouldn’t consider working there.

To put it into perspective, an accountant might make $60k a year. A senior dev at meta can make (total comp) $600-700k a year.

Microsoft is on an interesting trajectory of late, but it also seems like there is some bifurcation as to what they're doing. On one hand they are trying to embrace Linux and pushing development tools forward, but on the other they are just making every slimy big tech type decision they can. I have my own personal axe to grind with them as they tricked my completely non tech savvy mother in law to upgrade her Surface to windows 11 and guess what? The freaking network driver doesn't work so it is now effectively bricked for her use case. She didnt want windows 11 and Im guessing just clicked all the highlighted options to "keep her computer up to date and safe". I found out the issue when we were in a location that only had slow satellite internet so she cant use her computer until she gets back to civilization and I can reload windows 10. Microsoft has created a tech support nightmare for me.

Seriously if any MS folks are reading this- you really have pretty much erased any goodwill I had towards you, but I suppose the ad revenue means you dont care.
I take no position on whether the books are pornographic--I haven't read them or investigated them at all.

But at least for young children, exposure to pornography is well-recognized as harmful. Not just morally, but psychologically. Maybe even as a form of child molestation.

Which is easy to do when the locals don't support the law. Al Capone mostly opporated in areas with a large beer culture.
There is a long, sad history of trial courts improperly convicting defendants based on pseudoscience testimony by "expert" witnesses. We now know that forensic analysis of things like hair samples and bite marks is mostly bullshit. Even fingerprint and ballistic analysis has a high error rate. Unfortunately jurors often assign expert witnesses a level of credibility that they don't deserve.
Uh I don't think that's true? They just don't do it by policy usually. Remember those federal CA prosecutions for (state-legal) medical marijuana? And the federal prosecution of the police who assaulted Rodney King _after_ their state level acquittal?
Worse than Windows 10? That already seemed pretty bad when I kept having to uninstall candy crush and somehow it kept coming back, and literal ads in the start menu.

How did they make it worse with Windows 11?
what's web3? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Simple domain names cost less than $20. ?
But you're absolutely wrong. As in my other comment, a "voter fraud organization" "perpetrates" voter fraud as much as a "breast cancer organization" "perpetrates" breast cancer.

This is the in-your-face, obvious, and common meaning of what he said. Why are you pretending otherwise?
Yes, I use the eID software on Linux all the time. It is based on OpenSC and the main stuff in the browser is all standardised. OpenSC is loaded as a plugin to say Firefox, and most of the authentication is standard TLS client cert stuff.

The app is used for changing PINs and there's another one for signing documents.

Signing in the browser uses a extension, code here https://github.com/open-eid/chrome-token-signing
Also younger siblings. "Tell them I'm not home!"
Fascinating that it's already covered 40% of the distance, but it's only on day 4 out of 30. That makes sense once you realize that its radial velocity needs to slow to zero when it reaches L2. I'd love to see the shape of how the velocity curve slows.
The trickle-down approach of cutting taxes for the rich actually created a trickle-up and we have a huge disparity in wealth inequality. Lower taxes on the rich makes them richer at the expense of everyone else.
You can (setq package-enable-at-startup nil) in early-init.el to stop package loading before you get to init.el.
Depends.

In some areas its doing some very exciting work, if you believe in yourself enough you might think that you can shape the future of AR or VR. (if you're a software engineer, then you'll be one of 4k other who are doing that)

For a hardware engineer, you are going to be given much more free reign, and don't have to worry about the cloak and dagger cult shit that apple insist on.

also, a stonking wage.
I wonder if they couldn't "just" put up a misc. software support money pool with a reasonable but in the huge picture small amount of money they can "low complexity" spend on such things?
Nothing is being banned anywhere, per se. School libraries have to pick and choose which tiny fraction of available books to stock. Different schools will make different choices about which books to include. What about all of the other millions of books this school isn't including? Are all of those banned as well? Certainly not, they just didn't make the very-very-short-list.

This author is suggesting that because HER book, in particular, wasn't chosen by this particular school, that she is somehow aggrieved. I disagree. But I with her well and I hope she finds her book in other places. Sounds like an interesting and thought-provoking read.
It would absolutely help. We humans divide ourselves politically into groups. Washington's lament of the rise of factions was noble but naive.

We need a voting system that enables political parties in the United States to rise and fall. People need more than two choices.

I believe changing our electoral systems for all levels of government to something like Ranked Choice or Approval (or multi-member systems) is the defining institutional change needed of our time.

It won't directly solve every first-order issue directly (taxation, spending, social safety nets, military, scope of government, etc). It will, however, allow us to break ourselves out into more representative groups of ideas. It will force politicians and parties to compete on the merits of their own ideas rather than "not the other party". It will allow voters to vote for ideas rather than against others. The concept of "lesser evil" will be weakened if not broken.

I believe it is critical for the culture and political survival of the United States to move away from first-past-the-post voting.
Additionally, many of these security measures are put in place to prevent that rootkits/malware can compromise the firmware, boot loader, or operating system.
Optical refers to principles that work in visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light.

I had to scroll pretty far to find someone willing to address the substance of the article. Kudos to you.
>We do need people to come to texas to flip it blue. Just know this is a backwards place in many ways.

putting aside the specific political affiliations mentioned here, I find this sentiment generally offensive. what could possibly compel you to encourage people of a certain political persuasion to move to a specific region so as to topple the existing, different-than-yours, popular political persuasion? if you live in a Republic of fifty States, why can't you and everyone that agrees with you politically find another state to take your political values to? what makes you think that your perspective on how things should be should matter more than the millions of people already living there, such that your ideal worldview should replace the existing popular one in a specific state, via interstate mass migration?

obviously there's nothing wrong with people who live in a given state having different political values compared to the prevailing local political values and trying to change things locally themselves and/or with the assistance of other like-minded locals. but when you advocate for mass migrations of people to come and change things...
I think it's funny too when people talk about "escaping" to Texas, but you have to remember that different people are oppressed differently by the same laws. If you earn a high amount of income per year, you will be oppressed differently by tax rates in one area then you will another. Just like if you're a woman with an unwanted pregnancy, you are oppressed differently by laws in one state than another, even though someone not in your situation may not oppressed at all.

For some people Texas is a lot more free. For others it isn't. We can pretend we are just a collective, but when it actually comes down to it most people make decisions out of self interest (individuals) rather than collective interest. The expression "one man's trash is another man's treasure" feels appropriate here too.
Which part is ironic?
https://www.pewforum.org/religious-landscape-study/

"born-again" and "evangelical" are not interchangeable terms, though there is significant cross-over. That's why you'll get a higher number if you ask if someone is either born again or evangelical than if you ask if they are evangelical alone.
Global finance will eventually be eclipsed by large-scale economic planning systems. It will probably take a couple decades for finance to go the way of alchemy, but the signs of its irrelevance are there: hilarious schemes like SPACs, DeFi, NFTs. Totally divorced from the underlying economics.
What happens when I the company create a databse (let's say facebook) and Developer A create more compelling application that facebook company?

1.Where is the controlling part.
2. what facebook internal advantage/motivation to create and hire more engineers and give dopemine to more people?

Saying company facebook own coin which has no value what does this even mean?

Explain to me.
You can certainly point toward Newberg school district in Oregon. They banned all flags except the US and state flag to get politics out of the classroom. All media coverage specifically says they banned rainbow flags and BLM flags...but thats not what the rule says. Trump and NRA flags are just as banned...but that doesn't make a good liberal outrage story quite as much as saying BLM and LGBTQ flags are being banned...
Startups can always compete on equity if they so choose.
I mean, it could be flipped around to ask why do some people feel that we're infantilizing our young adults, but at the same time think we need to clamp down on any viewpoints or topics that could make a young person mildly uncomfortable?

This happened to us.

The driver agreed to take a “shortcut”, full in snow, deviating from the main road.

The shortcut was a forest road, 28% steepness, the snow chains didn’t help much, really fun.

Nobody in the car blamed Google maps. We all blamed the driver for being a complete and clueless moron.

This is a lesson the driver won’t forget.
Kara Bell (the woman mentioned in the article who got the book banned) is infamous around Austin and Central Texas for creating inflammatory viral videos. She was recently cited by police for assaulting a Nordstrom Rack employee after they asked her to wear a mask [0]. The only reason this person has such an outsized impact on children's education is that relatively few people vote in school board elections, or attend the meetings.

26 states will raise minimum wage in 2022, but employers are hiking pay faster
What would be some of the more useful use-cases for this?
This sort of stuff is abhorrent.

Anecdotally, I went to a high school in Utah where the librarian would use a sharpie to censor sexual content. The weird thing was that she’d only censor consensual sexual content. I remember reading a book (I think it was maybe one of the Bourne novels?) that had big paragraphs redacted, but it included quite a few very graphic rape scenes that were left in.

This sort of censorship is why I think it’s absolutely critical that young people learn how to pirate stuff as early as possible. I think that self-directed learning is important to avoid children failing victim to the brainwashing of this ~culture war~.
I've never arrived at a gitter chat log from a Google search result where the search result was in the page.
FTS/crewed abort is likely a special exception to these control loops. Last I read there are some lengths of wire that run down the rockets which, when broken, would allow for an instantaneous reaction to some catastrophic event.
I posted a while ago a comment that large tech companies and their investors are not really motivated for decentralized systems, but that they have to tell the markets they are. Otherwise they will face increasing regulatory and liability pressure due to how they wield control and power over their platforms and customers / users (products). On the one hand they want to be shielded from the effects of running large, centralized systems, but on the other hand, they don't want to give up their walled gardens, customer lock-in, captive audience, no right-to-repair benefits.

Brightness was also a problem.
Work on bringing more parties into the fold isn't just for the presidency. It is for statehouses and Congress, as well.
ArduCAM claims that it's better (see https://www.arducam.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/camera-mo...). It has better resolution (16MP vs 12.3MP). However, the HQ has better changeable lenses available. I'm updating the rPIFocus (https://github.com/lemariva/rPIFocus) repository to include the camera and test it. The autofocus speed will be definitely faster :).
There's a somewhat leftist portion of the Democrats, but Bernie's signature positions - a public option for healthcare, parental leave, free college, etc. - are the sort of stuff that are table stakes in Europe, even for the center-right parties.
Yes. I believe violent video games should be available to children, with their acquisition dependent on parental consent.

Which is literally how it works.

If some parents don't want their children reading certain books, those parents can limit their access.

At my middle school, due to religious parents, your library card could be flagged such that the librarian wouldn't let you check out books on specific topics.

Behold. The books were available to all, but could not be acquired by all.
Liberals banning the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn due to race issues is extreme.
How about not messing with people? Let them claim it.
> He says the only time to go to the ER is if you have a positive test and are very sick.

Isn't this obvious? What part of no symptoms requires an emergency? Baffling.
but they are not company people?

company does not own anything nor database?

I think just coins?
The currently most popular implementation of this "open database" (Bitcoin) is indeed slow and scales poorly. But if you start looking into the new ideas, you'll find there are plenty of still decentralized blockchains with much faster confirmation times (even as low as 5 seconds) today.
And think about how many layers of safety margins. If there are ten subsystems each with a 20% safety margin to say that their designers did their jobs right, then you might have an overall system with as much as 200% safety margin. (yeah not everything is linear like that, but illustrating the point.)
perspective of a not terribly interested party:

* two years ago: "bitcoin! bitcoin! bitcoin!" - tech community: "bitcoin is a pyramid scheme and also bad for the environment."

* a year ago: "crypto! crypto! not bitcoin, there's others and also fintech loves blockchain!" - tech community: "nope, still a pyramid scheme, financial community goes whereever there's hype and $$$, they couldnt care less about 'tech'"

* 6 months ago: "nfts! nfts! look there's an actual thing associated with it!" - tech communuty: "but you don't actually own anything. obvious speculation scam"

* 2 months ago: "web3! web3! it's vague! except it's all about those things above we just make it less obvious and more buzzwordy!" - tech community: please leave

What do voting laws have to do with the problem of outrage circulating on social media, or the harm caused by the drug war, etc? If you want to argue that "both sides" are not equally bad on voting rights, I would agree (with the caveat that I've not researched that issue so could certainly encounter information that changed my mind), but that seems entirely irrelevant to the question of whether both sides are equally bad when it comes to circulating outrage on social media
Considering it took three tiers of management and three facilities department members to replace a coffee machine that had an actual service contract in place already, I think something of that administrative complexity would have been beyond them.

Either that or like most SMEs I’ve worked for they’re actually only using the stuff because it’s “free” by their corrupted definition of “free” which is basically it didn’t have to go through a PO process.
> Then stop censoring.

And stop dissembling. For instance, Fauci's early statements on mask-wearing were calculated to preserve the supply of N95 masks for medical personnel. However laudable the intent, it betrays what I imagine is an endemic world-view that the masses must be manipulated, rather than dealt with honestly.

This morning, an NPR report about the new CDC quarantine guidelines acknowledged criticisms/allegations of corporate lobbying for the policy change and internal fears of staffing for critical services, which was followed-up by a "follow the science" platitude.
Matt Baer, developer / owner of Write.as, has a competing and differing vision of web3 (perhaps better labeled "web 3.0"):

https://write.as/matt/what-would-a-real-web3-look-like

It'd be preferable for users and developers to gravitate towards a web built on community standards, rather than one built on an exploitative ecosystem. Dave Winer notes "web3 is venture capital wanting a new bubble to inflate so they can get the kinds of returns they used to get." (https://twitter.com/davewiner/status/1475876218905976843)
It has to. Wealth isn't stuff, but an obligation on other people to work for you.
Which coins have confirmation times that low with the volume of Bitcoin?
Why is it so important that children have access to books?

Got a Huawei Mateview recently - 28.2", 4K+, 3:2 aspect ratio, USB-C charging, £500! Fantastic monitor with a great feature set. Retina screen similar to M1 Macbook quality, can barely tell the difference. Looks just like the Apple Pro Display, but with a better aspect ratio for devs. 100% Recommended.
Agreed. Most of the decentralization talk is Kabuki and it's still about controlling the platform.
But only because there's no monetary value with emotions. If your tears had price tags attached to them, IRS would be all over it.
This book had a big influence on me. I highly recommend it. I read both the first and second editions.

It is very clearly written, full of practical examples (with code), and doesn't assume heavy math knowledge.

This section from the preface sums up the intended audience:

"The principle audience is researchers in the natural and social sciences, whether new PhD students or seasoned professionals, who have had a basic course on regression but nevertheless remain uneasy about statistical modeling. This audience accepts that there is something vaguely wrong about typical statistical practice in the early twenty-first century, dominated as it is by p-values and a confusing menagerie of testing procedures. They see alternative methods in journals and books. But these people are not sure where to go to learn about these methods."
I’ve lived in Midwest cities and that is not anywhere near realistic even 5 years ago. Maybe in some dead towns
HN meta: funnily enough, I made an extension that highlights keywords on HN and I added "web3" to the list this morning after reading this 3-week old comment: "It feels as if 5 similar articles [about web3] reach the HN top page every day like this. The same arguments are made, the same rebuttals are made, the same comments are made ad nauseam, every single time, with no apparent conclusion. Are we officially living in a simulation? What's happening?" [1]. 2 hours later, I refresh the frontpage and here we go.

I saw a Shitty Life Tips the other day claiming that if you mentioned Tienanmen Square to the Chinese robocallers that they'll end up on a list.

I only know enough about Mandarin to distinguish it from all the other East Asian languages. Maybe I should have my coworker teach me "fuck off and stop calling me," but what I really want is a Mark as Spam button on my phone instead of just block caller.
> For the uninitiated, does this have an implication in terms of quality of photo or video?

Not sure about the current generation, I guess the problems have been surmounted, but originally, if you wanted to forgo the mirror you had to use the main sensor as viewfinder, powering it on continuously, thereby heating it, which caused higher noise.
