I think you are mistaking the GPD Pocket 2 Max with the non Max version. The Max version has a real touchpad while the GPD Pocket 2 has that tiny thing on the upper right.

I have the GPD Pocket 2 and while the trackpoint thing is not the most precise you get used to it and I have no complaint to do regarding the hardware. It just works.
I’d much rather turn a knob.

I have induction with knobs. It's no different. I suspect it's just a knob on the user side, and there's still the big steps behind-the-scenes.

My stove's induction knobs give me tactile feedback, but lack the granular control that a real analog knob has.

The slow descent was basically acting as a battery and they now use a battery instead.

From the link someone else shared from the gravity light designers:

> In 2009, a nascent industry had sprung up manufacturing and distributing small solar lanterns to serve the two out of three people without electricity access in Sub-Saharan Africa. The problem was that the photovoltaic panels and batteries that powered the products accounted for more than 60 percent of their cost. The expense of those two technologies compromised the efficacy of the products in emerging markets, pushing up their prices out of range for many of the people who needed them.
Well the law and the fact that (eventually) someone will come and physically remove whoever claims to own your house.

A Blockchain without the ability to initiate (and complete) such a process is worthless for questions of real world ownership.

Of course a Blockchain could be empowered to do that....through a law.
How bad is QWERTY, really? A review of the literature, such as it is
The correct name is latinos (or latinoamericanos), not latinx. Easier to remember, easier to write, more precise (you can talk about latinos or latinas, with latinx the difference is lost) and everybody was happy with it.

Latinx is clearly derogatory. Is like choosing to call 'japos' to japanese in 2022. Or like choosing to use 'blacky' to refer to blacks in 2022. Is ideological and insulting and speaks volumes of the people using it.
Huh, this makes sense. I work in Denmark and the 'standard' package is centered around weeks, so taking less than 1-week units of parental leave is a little difficult.
Even a cheap portable induction hob is so much better than gas.
To anyone considering switching to an induction hob and hearing anecdotal stories of how some people don’t think they are “as hot” or “slower” than gas. I guarantee these are all related to the pans being used. It is of upmost importance that you get a really good set of pans “designed” for induction.

We have found “tri-ply” stainless steel pans work really well, better than on gas. Cast iron is also brilliant, I inherited loads of them. We have aluminium none stick frying pans with solid stainless steel bases, they work well.

Aluminium pans without a solid steel base are absolutely crap on induction - even the ones that say they work. Avoid them.

If you have any pans with a slightly curved base they won’t work. And you will have to get a Wok with a flat bottom designed specifically for induction.

Make sure you read reviews before you purchase any new pans, and if you are changing your hob to an induction one be prepared for replacing your pans - budget to spend more on them than the hob even.

We are absolutely converted to induction, love it and will never go back. Planning to one day get rid of the gas boiler too.
I gave my very nice SmartTV to a hiking buddy last year and bought a cheap dumb TV from Walmart for $190 that only has HDMI inputs. I bought the latest Apple iTV box, and I couldn’t be happier with this setup.

In addition to better privacy (don’t SmartTV manufacturers make 30% of the profit on a TV from your data?), the user experience is so much better, no comparison really.

My wife is not 100% happy with the screen quality so I might replace the TV with a studio monitor, but for my tastes what we have is close to perfect.

I evaluated this for creating local development data sets from our production data. It’s good, but a big and complicated tool, and I remember feeling like there was a big impedance mismatch on how we wanted to fit it into our workflow.

In the end I wrote django-devdata to do a similar thing: export anonymised, referentially correct, relational data, from a large Django site. Configuration is just in code in Django settings, and data can be exported/imported pretty quickly. Happy to help anyone get set up with it if it’s useful to others!
Absolutely. Parents have the option of following their children's lead in a way that does not necessarily lead to trauma.
Off topic, but I see that everyone involved in the photo used in the article gets a mention, even the model whose hand is pictured. Yet when a film like Dune is reviewed, or a new spacecraft lands on another planet, not a single engineer or 3d artist or software developer's name is mentioned, even though what they have done is far more difficult and impactful. It's time we recognised the people who make these amazing things happen.

Might be worthy of note that the society in question disappeared centuries before Pizarro showed up. By all accounts, the Inka (there was only one) was an absolute dictator, and all crimes had the death penalty.

That is not to say there were not also admirable societies, or others that had admirable qualities among their less-so. Humanity is messy everywhere. And, it is tragic that present and future generations will need to re-learn what many of them discovered long ago, what of it is ever rediscovered.

The inhabitants of the Amazon region perfected mixed tropical tree agriculture compatible with annual flooding, starting more than 10,000 years ago. Their society may have taken a huge hit from diseases brought by Africans early in the 14th century; archaeology reports a major bump of re-forestation about then. But it must have been diseases the Spaniards brought that permanently wiped out the whole Amazon civilization.

The entheogenic drug protocols invented there, plus chocolate, manioc, and sweet potato are about all we have left of that civilization.

The cognitive dissonance here is astounding. Surely you can see how the analogy isn't even remotely 1-1.
> Because technical minutiae are completely irrelevant if they don't eventually convert into useful features for products with at least some level of mass-market appeal.

Why?

You might care about building businesses, mass-market appeal, blah blah, but many (most?) technologies were created because people thought they were cool or interesting or just because they could. Nobody knew what LASERs were for when they invented them.

To me the point of tech is to invent stuff and see what people do with it, not to make money or feed the economy or whatever, that’s a byproduct. Which coin is worth more money or what will gain mass market adoption is the least exciting part of the whole thing to me. We started with bitcoin having BFT consensus and proof of work to create decentralised, permissionless value (volatile or not!) but we now have multiple chains that can execute arbitrary code, sharding, performance improvements, lightweight chains, various types of proof of stake, token standards, automated market makers, DeFI, NFTs, DAOs, data availability proofs, IPFS, etc. etc.… that’s incredibly exciting! And if you read the actual academic and published research and see the advances being made, it’s even more incredible and wide ranging, and progress is very rapid.

Of course it’d be nice if _some_ of it changed the world (and maybe it already has), but there’s plenty of time for that and it may only be 1% of the interesting new tech that turns out to do so. So what? It’s incredibly cool just to learn and understand it all and think about what might be. (And sure, buy tokens or whatever if you like them or just fancy a gamble. Do your research and don’t spend what you can’t afford to lose.)
I've been against the whole blockchain space for some time but I only just realised the one big positive to come from it - a new market.

I think that's why it's become so popular, you can actually invest in ideas just as they're being born now. The stock market is a marvel but the barrier to entry for companies is insane. It's also why there's so much money flowing through VC channels these days.

I'm just hoping the resolution to these issues that sticks, a proper market for investing in early stage startups, is created outside of the blockchain.
It’s not a problem at all. Some people are predisposed to turning psychological stress into a psychiatric pathology but there is nothing intrinsic about stress or space travel that causes psychiatric problems.

People on death row meet your criteria and probably endure more stress and a lot of them don’t develop psychiatric disease.
Most, romantic and heroic archetypes are murderers, rapists and thieves. Pirates, knights, samurai, cowboys are all romantic ideals and ugly realities. Heroes in antiquity like Hercules were portrayed little better - to be a hero was to be the most violent man in a violent world ruled by violent gods, and to this day modern heroes (including obviously superheroes) are almost always associated with aggression and violence.

Americans often pride themselves on revolutionary ideals which spread chaos, pain and suffering throughout the world, to the point of looking down on countries stable enough not to have constant gun violence. We hold soldiers and police in far greater esteem than doctors and scholars. We write love letters to serial killers. We root for underdogs, villains and rebels by default.

Let's be honest - it is a silly name, mostly because it seems childish and tone-deaf given more pressing modern political issues, but not because of any implied association with rape, pillage and plunder. If anything, that probably sells better in the US than elsewhere.

Apple complies with Dutch ruling, lets dating apps use other payment systems
But is this the one that got approved?

So 200 pages of technical details seems like a pretty good thing to go over, understand and then base a new application on.

The regulations have a laundry list of things that need to be included in the application, right? Looking at bad and good applications helps form a mental model of how one has to actually present the answers to those items on the list.

Of course it's not literal copypaste but which part is black magic from a system integrator point of view?

Of course hiring someone who wrote a few successful ones helps, but they are also basing their new work on their previous one, no? (Again not letter by letter obviously. And in some cases some sections require more depth, more detailed answers, in some cases they are not applicable, but good applications are similar to each other, because they are complete, they cover all the required risk assessments, etc... if not, what going on, could someone help me understand this?)

From the Krakatoa page:

"The third explosion has been reported as the loudest sound heard in historic times. The loudness of the blast heard 160 km (100 mi) from the volcano has been calculated to have been 180 dB. Each explosion was accompanied by tsunamis estimated to have been over 30 metres (98 feet) high in places. ...The energy released from the explosion has been estimated to be equal to about 200 megatonnes of TNT, roughly four times as powerful as the Tsar Bomba"

Any sane web3 proponent would agree with this statement. Only the scammers wouldn't.

Sane people interested in web3 don't evangelize and are totally aware of and agree with most of the criticisms. If you criticized Ethereum as being expensive and inefficient, you'd get head nods from people that understand the space and pointed to projects that are trying to fix those issues.
I've been documenting this with specific companies. A recent one that I worked with was Omnichains:

https://www.omnichains.com

"Omnichain CEO Pratik Soni speaks to Inbound Logistics about the growing number of blockchain use cases in the supply chain, including in reverse logistics, product authentication and sustainability."

Apparently this company started with the idea that they would use the blockchain to make supply chains more transparent. And they raised money from investors with that goal in mind. But they have since retreated from that goal.

I worked with a retailer that worked with Omnichains. None of Omnichains tools had anything to do with the blockchain. Certainly, we were never given access to a blockchain, nor was it mentioned after we had signed the contract. Instead, we were granted limited access to an API that I believe was run with Ruby on Rails and MySQL. So at a certain point this company retreated to traditional technologies, rather than trying to use the blockchain.

This is one example. At some point I hope to write up some of the other examples that I've seen.

I do not believe anyone will ever find a legal use for blockchains that cannot be more easily served with traditional technologies.

The most controversial opinion of all.
Radiant electric replace the age old coil with elements below a ceramic or glass surface. They are uniformly abysmal to cook with.

Induction are very different from radiant electric and require cookware of particular materials. They are amazing in some respects and limited in others.

From a glance though both have smooth glassy surfaces that look modern.
Nigeria Lifts 7-Month Ban on Twitter
I have induction but I do prefer gas for cooking with a good gas stove. Induction is great for boiling water FAST. I see people saying gas is faster but it's not even close with a decent induction stove.

That said I wouldn't stand with my balls next to the front burner on an induction stove due the EMF. I stand a few inches back.

The recommendation is to primarily use the back burners and occasional front burner use as required.

I've tested this with an EMF meter and it's pretty bad right up against my stove.
My first computer connected to internet was the family Pentium 100Mhz with 64MB of ram that ended up retired by my father for a much powerful athlon whatever. It used to run Windows 98. I inherited that one and immediately ditched the Windows 98 as it couldn't allow me to listen to music while browsing and use an office apps, audio was stuttering all the time.

This is actually the reason I started using linux. I remember internet was usable at 100Mhz back in the days, I could play some videos (obviously at a much lower res, I was using a CRT). The funny things is some of the apps mentionned here already existed at the time so it resonnate with my experience, although back in the days I tended to prefer apps running on terminals unless it was absolutely necessary. Emails, music player, I was a terminal for all of that. My computing life was not that different than today bar the videos resolution increase. And the web wasn't less interesting or usable.

It is incredible how crap internet has become that we can't reasonnably think we can browse it comfortably on what would have looked like a supercomputer at the time of my 100Mhz Pentium.

No, they're a good value proposition compared with Kerosene, which you have to keep buying forever.

The issue isn't that people can't afford it, if they could afford kerosene then they can afford this, but access to credit or savings to allow them to make use of these cheaper technologies that have an up front cost.

Using EM Waves to Detect Malware
Fox’s viewership is older and whiter than NPR’s. But Fox’s popularity means that even Black Democrats are much more likely to watch Fox than to listen to NPR (or read the NYT): https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2020/03/11/black-and-.... About 1/3 of Black democrats get political news from Fox. Just 10% get political news from NPR.

> One way that black Democrats break out of the media bubble is that roughly a third (36%) get political news from Fox News, which, according to the Center’s survey data, has an audience that leans to the right politically. That contrasts sharply with the 17% of white Democrats who get political news from Fox.

> In using sources for political news, black Democrats are also more inclined to turn to ABC News (53%) and CBS News (46%) than white Democrats (35% and 34%, respectively). White Democrats, however, are much more inclined to get political news from The New York Times (39%) than their black counterparts (12%). The same pattern holds for NPR (43% vs. 10%) and The Washington Post (32% vs. 13%).
A good point. Alot of depends on the style of cooking you do, and how heat is used in that cooking style. I personally dont even have a wok, so the idea would never occur to me.

You wouldn't believe some of the things people say to conversational interfaces.

A long time ago – I'm talking early 2000s – I designed a voice UI for a train timetable information system. It was a phone line, you called it up, told it where you were travelling to and from, and it gave you the information you needed.

After launch, I would listen to the odd call at random to see how it was handling things. I distinctly remember one case where, when asked their destination, the user said "I'm going to a funeral".

Now, when somebody said something outside the scope of the expected responses, we would reprompt them up to twice more with a bit of extra guidance. I'm proud to say that, even though this caller started way off course, the system steered them back and they ended up going away with the information they needed.

That's actually a danger of making your conversational interfaces too human-like - people then talk to them like they're humans, and it doesn't go well. You're better to make things a little stiff and robotic, so as to manage their expectations and make them understand that they need to constrain their answers a bit to get what they need. It might feel less natural, but everybody goes home happier at the end of the day.

Your body is so incredible at healing itself. I’ve had a number of surgeries and while the surgical wound may be swollen and uncomfortable for months after, if properly closed it should be healed well enough to not fall apart by day 3. Most surgeons use “dissolving” stitches made of collagen for the top layer that form a “base” that your body uses to form scar tissue and heal faster.
