While app the performance is just poor on my 2019 LG OLED TV I find HDR content to be unwatchable on it, seemingly a long running problem across multiple platforms: https://www.amazonforum.com/s/question/0D54P00007HLPkoSAH/le...

HDR content is somewhat better when played through the Prime Video PS5 app, though it still seems much darker than HDR content played on the Netflix/AppleTV/HBO LGTV apps.

True, if you cash out that soon you only get use of the tax money for a little while. I like TLH for the same reason I like a traditional 401(k). Right now I’m getting a Bay Area tech salary and RSUs, and I want to defer some taxes until I’m in a lower bracket.
Agree.

Facebook tried this in India and backed off after vocal opposition from internet freedom groups.

Many argued that these groups are being elitist in denying some semblance of internet access and connectivity to those who cannot afford it otherwise. The supporters of government initiatives went so far as to label the critics antinationals or paid by out of state actors to keep India backward.

But the whole way FB planned it was that the users will have a curated and controlled view of internet based on FBs controls.

In essence they wanted a large population to grow up believing Facebook is internet. Also would have given FB the power to charge various sites for the privilege of being allowed on their free plan.

This is very dangerous for a democracy. Even if it is slower to reach everyone a free internet -- as in sans middlemen controlling what you can access -- is the way to go.

At the time of this episode FB enjoyed a much better brand trust. Afterwards the whole 2016 election in US and FB's active and passive role in shaping public opinions has come to light and the enthusiasm for FB sponsored stuff at national scale has been tempered.
Was listening to a comedy podcast and they mentioned the famous Minority Report hand waving interface and the host responded with “Wait we have that now, but you do it on a desk instead of above your head. Isn’t that a lot better?”

Yes, misleading headline for sure. But as a testing strategy it certainly makes sense.

I'd say many, not most, are capable of writing small scripts that save them time at work for small tasks.

It all falls apart when they try to turn it into software that does multiple things, has a GUI, is useful for anyone not using their specific machine setup a particular way, has error handling instead of checking the work output manually, etc.
It says they have no supervisor _working for the township_. They do have at least two supervisors that were just sworn in for 6 years according to the meeting agenda posted before. I guess that means they are fulfilling their duties uncompensated and thus no compensation needs to be determined.
Terence Tao is the oldest brother.

But of course that doesn’t matter. One could equally hypothesize being the oldest allows for most attention from the parents, etc.

But then again, Judit Polgar, by far the strongest chess player among the famous 3 Polgar sisters, was the youngest…

In my opinion, this sort of “human peak” genius performance requires more than small differences in upbringing.
This is why security teams get a bad wrap :(
That's great that you know, that probably puts you in the top 1-5% of engaged citizens in the country.
Does Raymond ever admits to a bug in the "Old New Thing" blog? I've read a fair number of the posts there (they are very interesting!) and I am always flummoxed by his acceptances of the state.

Like here -- the file is deleted, but because of mandatory file locking, the file sticks around until all handles are closed. We can talk about inodes, but that's not Windows way and this is fine, FS semantics variety keeps life interesting.

But surely most people would agree that "the file disappears from the Explorer window, but if they refresh the window, the file comes back." is a buggy behavior? And the best fix for that would be from Microsoft -- maybe filesystem should not enumerate deleted files, or there should be some attribute to indicate "file deleted", or maybe Explorer can detect this situation and show file in gray.

And yet, post has no mentions of this, acting like Windows is doing something reasonable and this is user app's fault for keeping the file open.
> If battery tech continues to improve at current rates

What do you consider current rates? They improve slowly, maybe 3-7% a year. Last I looked, batteries are so much worse in terms of specific energy than fossile fuels that we're looking at several decades before electric flight becomes practicable (except for very short distances and training flights).
> Authorities need people to mostly not react to intolerable things that are happening, and it's best if you do it from placating people with drugs/toys/pacifiers rather than the whip […]

Some modern autocracies don't go after enemies but more protect friends:

> The transition [in Hungary] has been nonviolent, often not even very dramatic. Opponents of the regime are not murdered or imprisoned, although many are harassed with building inspections and tax audits. […] The courts are packed, and forgiving of the regime’s allies. Friends of the government win state contracts at high prices and borrow on easy terms from the central bank. Those on the inside grow rich by favoritism; those on the outside suffer from the general deterioration of the economy. As one shrewd observer told me on a recent visit, “The benefit of controlling a modern state is less the power to persecute the innocent, more the power to protect the guilty.”

Personally, to me, whenever I read these stories about how Amazon is doing this novel use of WebAssembly, or how Uber is doing ludicrous engineering effort to keep their React-based app under 300MB for the App Store, I can't help but think:

"Man, that's an awful lot of work to avoid writing a native app."
A democracy is meant to be driven from the collective will of your neighbors. Your lazy name subtly displays the disdain you hold for your neighbor in a community like this, one that accounts for their vote of approval/disapproval of your posts (the most easily understood motive to create "throwaway" accounts in the first place). From that platform, you use rhetorical devices in a subconsciously Machiavellian bid to affect that will, to maintain a status quo you like. This implicit lack of trust displayed here and now damages the very fabric you seem to be trying to uphold. It might be beneficial to your cause if you took on a more meaningful name.
My town also broadcasts their meetings, and they're pretty darn tough to actually watch and focus on. Not that I expect my public officials to entertain me or cater to my interests, but it's not a particularly engaging format for a variety of reasons.
"a year into the pandemic" vaccines were literally just becoming available to the general public. Mandates pre-vaccine were a totally different ball game than mandates now, as far as what would be reasonable in the interest of public safety. I also find it hard to believe that Aurora was requiring strip mall stores to check vaccine cards before any vaccine was even fully FDA approved, and I can't find any evidence of that online either. Are you sure it wasn't something about verifying mask compliance?
It is a school board; oversight is their job. Librarians should have leeway, but they don't have unlimited power. If a librarian was putting anti-vax books in the science section of the library, it is the duty of the principal, the superintendent, and ultimately the school board to intervene.
This is a perfect example of catastrophizing our situation and seems riddled with anxiety and fear.

The CDC has already admitted half of the people in the hospital with Covid aren’t there because of Covid and this lines up with other countries experiences.

The world has been through far worse than what we are going through now and we made it just fine.

You personally may die from Covid or you could get run over by a car walking your doggy.

Rather than worrying about it, try and turn off the internet, spend time with people you love and enjoy your life. There will always be time to worry and stress.
I’m a bit confused. https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html says that, with the Borg pricing, there are no free snapshots. Are there non-free snapshots?

The Borg pricing is quite competitive with S3 Glacier, although Deep Archive seems to have you beat. (Of course, Deep Archive loses badly if you actually read the data…)

Was that a cup style one? Depending on your facial shape, they can be very uncomfortable. Try a 3M Aura flat fold. Life changing for most healthcare workers.
That’s fair. Its just to say there is a lot of context for client verification in software. Competitive multiplayer gaming has become an arms races of exploits and invasive anti-cheat measures; there is no concept of bring-your-own-client when there is money on the line.

Valve has taken a less heavy-handed approach and let users have more freedom over their client and UI, but they also have a massive bot problem in titles like TF2.

I can’t connect to my work network from a random client, and it will throw flags and eventually block me if I connect with an out-of-date OS version.

I can’t present any piece of paper with my banking data and a signature on it and expect other parties to accept it. I have to present it on an authorized document.

I guess money may be the common denominator here.
This thread is like "google banned my account" but for real life
And yet her position was exactly the same as the CDC’s: the vaccines prevent infection and transmission enough that masks were no longer needed on vaccinated people.
It's an alternative that gives them the updatability of JS. When they describe their original (JS/C++) architecture they mention this as a motivating factor:

> This architecture split allows us to deliver new features and bug fixes without having to go through the very slow process of updating the C++ layer. The downloadable code is delivered through a fully automated continuous integration and delivery pipeline that can release updates as often as every few hours

They do support a lot of device types, which means a lot of compilation to produce many different binaries and probably more reliance on the app update systems of third parties.
Ok, hold up your sign and keep voting harder.
It's not just HDR content. I was watching a 2008 BBC drama called Little Dorrit on a Roku in 1080p streaming, no HDR because that didn't exist when it was filmed. It was super smeary, had terrible blacks, tons of obvious banding artifacts, it was really bad.

I bought the 1080p Blu-Ray version from the UK, and even my parents standing 10 feet away from our 48" 1080p TV (without me explaining the problems with the Prime version) could tell the difference after about 10 seconds.
As someone who works in reputation management, it was observed that there's very little incentive/value for the business to follow up on individual complaints with limited exposure - At best, resources will be spent with little return of value, at worst, the business may be dragged into a legal battle.
That does make sense. I think the reality is somewhere in the middle. I personally plan on hiring professional tutors for my children when I have them. Hopefully they're born with a lot of moldable clay, but either way, there are additional evidence-based education methods to utilize that promote mastery.
Which is probably exactly why a Libertarian got elected.

It’s rare for a libertarian to get elected, even more so in a write-in scenario.
If it works as jet fuel it should also work as diesel fuel, as jet fuel is bascially high-grade diesel. That could be a benefit to railroads and long-haul trucking where batteries are not practical, as well as passenger cars, since the fuel delivery infrastructure is already well established.

A big part of the problem IMO is that as wealth inequality increases, more and more people just don't have a desire to participate in the system because the system perpetually disadvantages them. As the share of the population with enough income to own assets like real estate decreases, the overall engagement in the community decreases, which makes sense.

I've helped put easter eggs into sooo many products. Exhortations from management ("... firing offense") simply made us hide them much, much better.

One product I worked on (ahem, no names) we had written an easter egg and hooked it up and everything, then we got cold feet. Not because of any silly rules, but because we realized it truly would have been bad for the product and the company if the egg had caused something to go haywire. We looked at each other, then unanimously decided to remove it. Masking the true purpose of that check-in was actually much harder than hiding the egg to begin with. :-)

Poverty in Argentina is already at 40% and extreme poverty at 10%. But I agree with you, it's only going to get worse.
I only did it once, working at a 10 person IT contracting firm. The business was going through a quiet period so I approached the owners, offered to work part-time for a agreed upon hourly rate. The arrangement stayed in place until we were acqui-hired by a much larger competitor.
Historically I haven't been a Musk fan but I like the idea of an anti-establishment billionaire, I think it's better for everybody.

Project Builder in the early years of Mac OS X certainly had an integrated editor.
Very cool. Thanks for the response. I may be reaching but maybe genius is a combination of curiosity, processing speed, mental RAM and focus. Maybe each of those can be improved in regular people...
There's an enormous chance none of them are compensated. The township is in the middle of rural PA and has a population of like 17K. I would be astounded if any of the supervisors are compensated.
> Please refer to countries like Australia/Israel who are still experiencing massive case loads with a ~95% vaccination rate. It doesn't make it go away. For example please see

I think people underestimate how big a number 5% of a population of most countries -- even small ones -- actually is, especially when compared against available health care resources.
What about all the older CPUs and GPUs out there that don't have hardware support for AV1?

[..]Scantily Clad Men Viewed As Less Competent

Men who show skin are viewed as more sensitive, but less competent than those who are fully clothed, suggests new study that shows a similar response to scantily clad women.

The research reveals that semi-naked people aren't necessarily viewed as mindless objects, but are instead attributed a different kind of mind, study researcher Kurt Gray, a University of Maryland psychologist, said in a statement.

"An important thing about our study is that, unlike much previous research, ours applies to both sexes," Gray said.
[..]
"Others appear to be less inclined to harm people with bare skin and more inclined to protect them," Gray said. "In one experiment, for example, people viewing male subjects with their shirts off were less inclined to give those subjects uncomfortable electric shocks than when the men had their shirts on."

Nonetheless, baring all, or even some, could work against a person's best interest, Gray said. For example, an increased desire to protect a scantily dressed woman from harm could play into the "benevolent sexism" that holds that women are weak and unable to fend for themselves, Gray said.[...]

Theories of objectification: https://www.livescience.com/11649-ogling-men-subtracts-women...

[..]Studies have shown that when you remind people of a stereotype about their group — "Girls are bad at math" — their performance at that task actually does drop because of their anxiety over the stereotype. This phenomenon, called stereotype threat, likely played a role in the lowered math scores, Gervais said. The women who got the objectifying look were aware of it on some level, as they reported that their partner was more preoccupied with their looks than the women who weren't ogled.

Bad math scores notwithstanding, the ogled women were more likely than the non-ogled women to say they wanted to interact with their partners more. There are a few possible explanations for this seemingly self-defeating desire, Gervais said. Women could be wishing for a chance to show the men they're not a sex object. They might have seen the flirtatious look as a sign he was attracted and returned that attraction. They may have felt flattered at being checked out. Or they may be trying to fit in, Gervais said.

"People that are being stereotyped [become] very, very concerned about their social connections and whether they belong," Gervais said. Further interaction may reduce that anxiety, she said.[..]

I assume that this rule will change once SAF builds up a long-term track record of safety and reliability.
Shush, you’re going to ruin everything.
The point is that the "headline" doesn't come from a news outlet.

But from the company pushing the product.
The challenge would be that Prime Video is distributed on many client devices. Here’s a list of a few TV OSes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smart_TV_platforms. How would you manage a different native app for each of them?

Caveat: previously worked at Prime Video though not in this area, still at Amazon
And also local and even to state politics are incredibly accessible.

It's quite easy to end up having a 1:1 conversation with a serious candidates for local office. Just 2 weeks ago I donated $500 to a candidate for CA state assembly and the next day I got a call from the candidate thanking me for the donation.

And it's pretty easy to volunteer for various organizations involved in local politics and get access to the current supervisor or state assembly member who is aligned with that organization.

And public comment is actually just like it's portrayed on Parks and Recreation.
You just want a Gundam suit
They are compensated. They get the max they are allowed under state law.

"the compensation for each Supervisor is hereby set at $3,250 per annum"
You're only 1-4 generations removed from ancestors who only owned one set of clothing, not necessarily including shoes.

Something that's stuck in my mind is how prosperity in India, not that many decades ago, meant that women could wash one Sari in the river without being naked, since they now owned two.

When I see people complaining about too much "disposable" clothing, I am not impressed.
That's why I said as it's being adopted. Right now it's just the very beginning of this phase (for instance AMD just started providing hardware decode in RDNA2).

So I expect this to become a non issue at some point.
There is almost no voter fraud. And all verified instances I've read about have been from Trump/Republican voters.

There does seem to be fairly common election fraud, though.
It's sad how true this is. What makes this particularly challenging is that most people that have the resources to seriously run for office have assets like real estate, which has a major impact on the decisions that you're talking about.
Yeah and it's cured me of any idea of ever running for one of those offices. No way could I handle sitting in every one of those meetings for several years.

Its not difficult. Its just the ruling class has captured the levers of govt and the people dont know any better.

Sweden was able to do this. Argentina is only special insofar that the people leading it are the wrong ones to be in power
It’s all about deployability.
I love native apps. But on the scale of Amazon (and having to compete with Netflix), slightest bit of friction, in this case downloading and installing an app, accepting permissions, etc takes a minute or two. It would be absolutely catastrophic to their competitiveness. You need to think more broadly on scale.
Bitcoin relies on the security of ECC too. Doesn't that take way fewer qubits to break?
Turns out it that's not true either. See the article linked to in my post.
When did life and the use of creative insults become so unacceptable in society? I think that the more creative insults we have instead of constant, repetitive, tired use of the F-word to describe people or things, the better. I'll admit, I laughed.
Right leaning software developer here. What are you talking about? Why do you think this has anything to do with political alignment? I find a suit as uncomfortable as anybody else. Dress code is more about public image in my experience than political alignment.
In this case, I'm pretty sure the elected auditor would count as part of the "client" unless there was some seriously shady business going on.
I think that would be preferable but depends on the use case
Actually the opposite - the root refers to loot and "robbery" is the direct development from it. Robes the clothing are named after robbery the act of generic theft, not the other way around.

EDIT:

My horrible, ostentatioous BAD! I mixed up the GE headline with the viral United Airlines tweet about the same exercise:

https://twitter.com/united/status/1466045020473942020

In which they took care not to mention the second engine using standard fuel, going so far as to say (this time quoting correctly):

Today, United will be the first in aviation history to fly a passenger flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

This flight will serve as a turning point in the industry's effort to combat climate change.

So I definitely should have read the GE headline more closely (which doesn't make this obfuscation). But that's what happens when these companies keep lying, and lying, and lying - at some point your senses go numb, your eyes start to bleed... and you lose track of detail.

But at the end of the day - my bad!

Earlier, ill-thought transmission (from me) follows below, as-is:

The point isn't the testing protocol, or that two different fuel types were used.

It's that these companies are trying to play with our heads.
