And yet, it’s quite easy to fly a drone in simple mannerisms. The UX failure of the jet pack is refinement in software, which drone makers have already figured out.

The real issue is, with an 8 minute flight time, it’s good for demonstrations and that’s it.
Exhaling through a sieve still blocks the largest wettest particles, and limits the distance virus is forcefully expelled through the air. Again, it's not perfect, but infection is purely a numbers game. The more virus you can deposit on a mask, or a sleeve, or even a sieve, the less virus is in the air and the longer it takes for a virus to go from a mouth on one side of a room to a receptor on the other side of a room the better.
If there are other Simple Login / free G Suite users, please upvote the github issue below. With Google providing a way to migrate from G Suite to a normal Gmail account, SL is considering adding SMTP access which would allow us to migrate an unlimited amount of user / domains over. This would provide a cheap way to forward / respond from our domain addresses while using a free Gmail address.

I open a lot of tabs and my battery would die within a couple of hours if I left JS on.
Yeah I did, it's a little tricky because the information available is usually stale. You can ask the recruiters directly on the initial call.
Aircraft were improved immensely by new materials since then. But jetpacks are still impractical. Might we see the same level of improvements again in the next century ? (And even if we do, wouldn't "super planes/copters" still be ahead of jetpacks ?)
More like Safari sucks because Apple wants people to buy native apps from its store. A lot like Microsoft wanting the web to suck so people would buy Windows apps instead. It's not a super secret conspiracy that requires inside knowledge and a network of spies to figure out.
I think your comment is shamelessly racist and ignorant, to be honest, have you been to every hispanic country to treat hispanics like that? you'll see hustlers everywhere and in every culture and country, also Argentina is not the only Hispanic country so please try to make more educated comments, and if you feel the way you describe it as for Hispanic people, please talk about yourself and don't generalise.
The waste will be encapsulated in huge copper cylinders, and then embedded in bentonite clay.

I fear the price of copper may be a problem in the future. Some dumb tomb raiders that don't know better will dig it up like a treasure.
Do you ever write articles / blog entries about this ? I love frugal programming (and it seems there's some people interested in that too). You're experience is pretty telling.
Probably the sweet spot is declarative with an imperative escape hatch.

The vast majority of time, you just want your SQL query to give you back the right rows and don't care how the DB engine manages it. In the rare case where it takes too long, then you want to be able to dig into the query plan, change the indexes, maybe even deploy a custom function written in a different language in extreme cases.
But neither of those quotes are about actually going to war. If we read both of your cited sources, there's nothing in context before, during or after each quote that says war is what he was referencing. Rather, he was speaking each time about giving up our freedoms for a bit and then getting back to where we were; think additional security screening at airports, not being allowed to bring water bottles on a plane, beefed up security presences elsewhere, etc.. He's very specifically talking about civil liberties, not war.

Do you have an actual quote where he talks about war itself?

Edit: So, both of your links reference the exact same event that Neil Young spoke at, the People for the American Way gala in 2001. The timing of this event is key. The second article you cited was published on 12/13/2001, and says Neil Young claimed that "Bush's anti-terrorism measures were necessary". The PATRIOT Act had just gone into effect on 10/26/2001[1], but we didn't go to Iraq until 2003.

It's terribly obvious that Young discussing Americans giving up certain freedoms temporarily is in regards to a law that was just passed that stripped away certain levels of freedom. I'm not sure how sending troops to Iraq two years later would have stripped away freedoms from citizens domestically. I'm also not sure how Neil Young - a famously anti-war individual - would be speaking out in support of a war that wouldn't happen for another two years without ever actually saying anything about fighting, military, "war", etc.

Edit 2: Even USA Today confirmed this way back when[2]...

>Not long after recording the song "Let's Roll," a tribute to passengers who apparently fought back against hijackers on doomed United Airlines Flight 93 over Pennsylvania, Young came out publicly in support of the U.S. Patriot Act.

>The legislation, which gave law enforcement authorities broad new powers aimed at bolstering the administration's war on terror, was harshly criticized by some as threatening Americans' civil liberties.

>But at a December 2001 ceremony accepting an award from the free-speech advocacy group People For the American Way, Young said he believed the measure was necessary, though he urged the audience to ensure that its more controversial provisions were only temporary.

> From 2006 to 2015 it was kind of stable but bad.

Just an FYI, the government at that time (which is the current government) fudged the official inflation numbers to pay less interest and to say there was no inflation, so if your inflation numbers are from official sources for that period, they are not true, inflation increased every year since 2002.
It's my understanding Argentina actually isn't heavily dependent on imports. Not only are taxes high on imports, they have a net trade surplus. Argentina also is extremely lucky like US they have extremely diverse environment including excellent farm ground, natural resource, and coastal access. Defaulting on debt might be a good option.
They would probably be more patient and tolerant of children if they hadn't spent 2 years dealing with manchidren who scream at flight attendants and punch them in the face. I've actually never seen anyone on an airplane shout at all. Did they actually scream at you or merely speak tersely?
I don't have a degree but attended OPLSS last year and it was really fun! Worth attending :)
Just a scorching hate for our politicians.
You are grossly misrepresenting the argument. It is about 30mph inside cities. Which is a great idea, not just for saving lives but for substantially increasing quality of life of everyone living there.

The greatest cause of noise in cities is traffic. Setting a strict speed limit would substantially reduce this. (Also side benefits like better air quality and so on) And traffic would actually flow better, so you might not even reach your destination that much later.

You can be protect your individual freedom at all cost and treat everything as a zero sum game or you can bee cooperative and help build a better world for everyone by compromising a bit.
Same plan as this + parent comment. I struggle with the collection + curation eventually overtaking the utility of the thing, especially with "valuable information" captured in RSS feeders, bookmarks, etc. Feels more like FOMO at times.

I have a paper notebook that lets me be more present in different scenarios and only capture stuff like actions or critical facts. Likewise key data around policy numbers, cost codes, etc. go into a markdown file.

I used to be a voracious note-and-knowledge capture type between Standard Notes and Obsidian. I'd keep both a daily rolling log of everything I did + cross-ref and expand key items into broader knowledge capture.

It probably has some intangible benefit I didn't pick up on but overall it just felt like a waste of energy compared to letting stuff go, sometimes having to google stuff again, and putting effort into building things and talking to people.

I also started to wonder, what is the value? Documentation, code comments, communication all help to take an idea or understanding from Me -> People. Hoarding notes and digital content for myself really didn't accomplish much other than demanding attention.
Could you say specifically what in his quote makes you think he's acting as if the US Constitution is a guideline? I'm guessing he knows the first amendment and the law and it seems unlikely that he would actually verbally state that the government should actively violate the constitution.

Remember, the US has powers it doesn't exercise that allow it to limit the freedom of americans within a constitutional context. And it also has the ability to message to people in ways that cast doubt on things it does not want people to believe.
Masks also keep our hands cleaner and we don't usually lick each other's masks either. Masks aren't perfect, but they work.
To say it the other way round: Use HTML/CSS for information purposes (JS where needed, nice explanatory animations etc), get back to using real nice native code for applications, using the OSes capabilities to the fullest, providing an experience integrated with the rest of the OS, having full performance.

Does it really? Across age demographics and other risk factors when compared with those with 2 shots (who from data I’ve seen aren’t getting severe disease because of the protection from the vaccination)? That would surprise me and isn’t what I’ve seen. Would love to see what you’re referring to.

56k was achieved by removing one analog-digital conversion. Instead of your my computer (digital)-my modem (analog)-phone network (digital)-your modem (analog)-your computer (digital), it was my modem (analog)-phone network (digital)-digital trunk-your computer.

A 56k modem at a bbs would just work at 33.6k
Once a qtr I do 5+ days of water + electrolytes only.

Made a measurable difference.

Also maintain that with no food Mondays. Last meal Sun at 7p than fest on Tue lunch. Every week.

The difference comes in many folds.with one being less obvious; self discipline.

I admit now with a child. That 5 day qtrly fast has become impossible but can't give up on something that works.

I truly believe if everyone skips eating one day a week and IMF the rest. Our health system will be so disrupted with healthy ppl. Big pharma and private hospitals would go out of business. Then maintain healthcare by the gov could easily take place in the US.
What I'd like to know is, given the explosion of the character set for emoji, does the rationale for Han unification still make sense? The case for not allowing national variants seems less and less compelling with every emoji they add.

This is a bit of a hobby horse, but imagine if every time you read an article in English on your phone some of the letters were replaced with "equivalent" Greek or Cyrillic one and you can get an idea of the annoyance. Yeah, you can still read it with a bit of thought, but who wants to read that way?
SHOULD NOT and MUST NOT are very different from a compliance perspective.

The former usually means something between nothing at all and “you can do it but you have to write paperwork that no one will actually read in detail, but someone will maybe check the existence of, if you do”.

The latter means “do it and you are noncompliant”.
Upvote for tar! LTFS seems like an overly complex solution to a relatively simple problem that tar already solved. Treating tapes like disks and trying to run a file system on them ignores the way they work.
You seem to have a pretty idealist notion of societal development. Did you ever think that maybe your business did not inspire confidence?

What you see in your country is true of any nation in distress and has nothing to do with the individuals moral or mental capacity. It has more to do with the economic policies and conditions of the nation.
Industry lackey politicians from every side and the IMF have more to do with this than the people's lack of entrepreneurial spirit, I'm surprised the article didn't even mention them.

"Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past."

"...the final causes of all social changes and political revolutions are to be sought, not in men's brains, not in men's better insights into eternal truth and justice, but in changes in the modes of production and exchange."
These big companies don't much care about people who don't fit into their plans.

At one point I was 4 years into a Blogger blog when someone decided to create Google+, insisting that everyone needed to supply their real name. When I signed up for G+ with my blogger alias, they shut down access to the blog until I complied. Since I was (miracle!) 'free to export' 4 years of blogposts, I did ... and each and every one of the exported posts had a Google link embedded in it.

In short: to 'free' automated services - despite any cozy feelings of 'belonging' we feel - we are insects. 'Community' isn't in their vocabulary.
The piano thing feels like a "we gotta do something" from a board with very little power over things that would limit transmission. Maybe they have a separate dorm board.

It is like where I live, the library closed becouse that was the only thing the county could close.

And there is like never more than 10 people there at the same time for a huge building. They could just have closed the cafeteria and remove the reading chairs. Etc.
What about if it's all unpaid? FOSS is a thing, after all.
Tacking works because boats have a second "sail" interacting with a second fluid moving differently than the wind (the keel is in the water). There's no second thing to push against in space.

If you "tack" your solar sail, you'll spin.
I really don't know where you get this impression of what I wrote. What did I write that makes you think I define "rational" as "things I agree with?" You seem to be reading too much into what I wrote to arrive at the worst possible interpretation. You are bordering on personal attacks as I take it as insulting for you to imply that I harbor that type of facile mindset. I would really like to know what gave you that impression from what was a fairly straightforward comment.

In any case, to clarify with > 1,000 year old evidence in support of the semantic distinction :

I am defining prejudice as distinctly different from pre-judging. Both the current definition and more recent (600+ years) of etymology support "prejudice" as a word connoting a frequently negative sentiment (spite, contempt) judgment that is typically not grounded in an evidence-based decision making process. [0] Current phonemic similarities between "pre-judging" are not indicative of closely matched meaning.

There is some closer etymological similarity between the verb form of prejudice and prejudge, the verb form "to prejudice" has a different meaning than the noun, much more of a legal sense to it that is still used today. "Don't prejudice the jury" for example. Its noun form differs significant in its mostly non-legal meaning.

Going back further to Latin roots [0 also] shows it to still have a negative connotation of "harm".

Pre-judging on the other hand does not have to take a negative form and mostly (for me at least) doesn't. It and can be done on the basis of limited evidence or past experience/expertise, with the healthy practice of revising those judgements as additional evidence becomes available.

To verge into being pedantic, prejudice might be considered a pernicious form of prejudgment, but in my own mind I tend to place them in different semantic categories all together.

The relevant debate is not about "freedom of speech", but about "freedom to profit from running a platform for others' speech".

Or is Firefox willing to compromise on more technologies that aren't yet standardized than WebKit is?

Without knowing whether the "standards" being tested are actually standards, it's impossible to know.

I once knew of a person who needed to quickly come up with a report supporting a course of action some C-suite person wanted to do.

The report required access to some institutional financial data, which of course is "open" because this is a large non profit.

This clever person taught themselves enough code to ping the server for the data (read-only, of course). Note, this data is available to the business teams. The report was well done.

All hell broke loose organizationally, since they wanted strict access controls for security etc. The business team felt (perhaps justifiably) side-stepped (and perhaps unjustifiably threatened). Communications lines had been crossed! Access controls overcome! It was anarchy!

As a side note. Shame and ignorance-based access controls are a critical part of most orgs' fire-walling, I bet.
>Humans have incredibly complicated writing systems

Not only that, there isn't even agreement about what's correct all the time!

>it doesn't understand how to spell a bunch of common English words like naïve or café, pretty disappointing.

A perfect example of this, since I would argue English doesn't have any diacritics at all. So the use of café is code switching. :)
Not sure how well this ever works in practice, but I just realized you could work remotely for drastically different time zones if your employers were spread across multiple countries.
Unfortunately there were plenty individuals/businesses that exploited inflation (among other things) during the war (and leading up to it) for massive gain. They'd borrow heavily, buy up as much staple as possible then quickly sell at a discount. By the time original debt was paid back, high inflation ate away at the original value of debt. So despite originally selling at a loss, it was still a profitable business.

That of course is assuming they even bothered to pay anything back. Often enough it was a game of survival (business/personal). Nothing to pay back if the person is dead or business gone.

I am very curious, which city? I moved to NYC in early pandemic and have had an extremely robust dating and social life. Even in 2020 dating was not difficult here. And for the past year or so life has been 95% normal, with big events, shows, packed bars, etc.
Well, the fact that I can't do credit card payments for some banks if I don't have an iphone or non rooted, google android phone is a problem which already exists.

Worse supposedly this is for security, but attackers which pulled of a privilege escalation tend to have enough ways to make sure that non of this detection finds them.

In the end it just makes sure you can't mess with your own credit card 2FA process by not allowing you to control the device you own.
Personally I found that a good n95 mask aside from being more effective is far less muffling than a shitty cloth mask.

"It is with unimaginable sadness that we announce the passing of Jetman Pilot, Vincent (Vince) Reffet, who died on the morning of 17 November during training in Dubai."

Mfgr: (via Google Translate) "The CAT JetCat model jet turbines are designed exclusively for model flying and are not suitable for any other purpose. Definitely not for people
or use goods or by any other means, except exclusively for model aircraft,
because any other uses lead to personal injury or death can."

There are low cost (well, US $10,000) jet engines, but they are not human-rated.
> it is awkward to draw things with Bézier curves

Sorry for repeating my comment, but you really should check out the the interactive examples of the closed bezier curves (which could also be open). They were designed to be intuitive as the control points are on curve.

The project is is in its infancy, yet the interactive examples are working.

Yeah I don't think they are really saying that they absolutely don't work but that the evidence that they do is weak enough to justify removing the mandates. They address N95 mask in the article (did you read it) pointing out that they are more difficult to breath in and hinder communication more (I'll add my own point in that they are harder to keep a seal with which seems to be quite important according to the studies I have seen). Personally I have used N95 mask quite a bit for sanding projects and can to attest to the difficulty of wearing them for long period in a properly fitting way.
interesting that they focus on EDA workloads as the beneficiary here. the performance wins do sound good here though!

You're probably unaware of the high prevalence of fecal bacteria on public surfaces, then.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16134485/

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/29/mcdonalds-touchscreen-kiosks...

"A study by U.K. newspaper Metro found gut and fecal bacteria on touchscreens in all of the chain’s restaurants it surveyed. It took samples from the screens in eight branches and found that they contained coliform bacteria, a group of microorganisms found in people’s intestines as well as in soil and on plants."
I've dealt with this my whole life, I'm just on my second smarthpone ever since I try ro use it for as long as possible. I know not having security updates is bad on paper but what is the real risk? I guess I can study what vulns each update patches but I can't imagine it's stuff I have to worry about when I'm just making basic use of it, not sideloading app or rooting my phone or anything.

Many State governments do not recognize a US passport as valid ID. This was unexpected when I first encountered an example of it, but apparently that is normal and I was just the last person to find out. The REAL ID legislation only regulates processing and format, there is no enforceable requirement to share that with the Federal government and many States (both red and blue) do not in practice. States recognize the ID of other States, as is required by the Constitution.

Because there is no official national ID system, you can do virtually everything Federally with a stack of affidavits and pretty thin "evidence" that you are who you claim to be. They strongly prefer that you have something resembling ID but it isn't strictly required. This also creates a national ID bootstrapping problem insofar as millions of Americans don't have proof that they are Americans because there was never a requirement of having documentary evidence. As a consequence, government processes are forgiving of people that have no "real" identification documents because so many people have fallen through the cracks historically.

Of course, this has been widely abused historically, so the US government has relatively sophisticated methods for "duck typing" identities by inference these days.
