I'm curious to know why you're getting dejected? Is it because you can't get work done and your manager is hounding you, even though its not your fault the builds aren't working? Are you part of DevOps/CI team and are getting blamed for the builds not working? Are you a manager who doesn't know how to deal with a employee that's gone rogue? Do you care too much about productivity as a individual contributor?
I mean, the company is his first name comma LLC, isn't it? There's nothing being hidden, here, even before this blog post.

It's a WiFi connected speaker which is controlled through an app that you register music services on. This means that the audio ecosystem isn't reliant on streaming the music from your device, but from the service itself. All of the speakers are connected through the main controller app that you can use to group into rooms and setup as a home theatre.

How would Pfizer practically measure this test if most of the test population may have been exposed before vaccination?
I had once been standing in a queue of a few hundred people and one of them (maybe several) had an AirTag. I could not silence the warning so I had to endure the huge warning message that doesn’t tell me where the AirTag is nor allows me to disable it.

It’s impressively pointless. Maybe I should buy one and annoy people with it.
> I think design is about informing people about their choices and empowering them to make them.

I think we are pretty much are on the same page here too. I agree that design _ought_ to be about informing people. It looks like our definition of 'design' and 'manipulation' vary slightly, which lead to our disagreement.

- Your definition of design is a narrower than mine. (yours include the normative element whereas mine doesnt)

- I've used the word 'manipulation' in a neutral way but it was a negative one for you. (e.g. The engineer manipulated the control panel vs she manipulated him into giving him all this money)

In any case, I'll think more about your definition of design. If more designers used your definition, I think the world would be a better place!
This seems like some kind of holy grail to me, and frankly quite useful for development. Got some library you want to use? Feed it into the documentator! Need to integrate with some firmware that nobody cared to document? Feed it into the documentator! Show me the data formats by reversing the code! Would save a ton of time.

However, since I did try to start this project once, on a fairly small 1-million line firmware code set written in C, let me be the first to tell you that it is no small feat. Even producing a tool that could analyze code and then output what the valid inputs are to any given function would be a phenomenal achievement.
“Dark patterns” which make an actually fun game aren’t really dark patterns because they’re mutual. Players want their games to have illusion of control (even if they don’t realize it - I sound condescending here but it’s true, e.g. in the Portal example if players were to get crushed they would be more frustrated than having the game cheat them out of it).

Real dark patterns are parasitic. e.g. loot boxes: players would rather just buy the items directly, and even if they end up spending more on the loot boxes, they’re not happy about it.

When a player says “I’ve wasted 1000 hours on X game and I love it” (e.g. Factorio), it’s a good game with addictive mechanics. When a player says “I’ve wasted 1000 hours on X game and I hate it” (e.g. LoL) it’s a bad game with addictive mechanics. Now those games blend the lines - if a game gets too addicting it probably starts negatively affecting you either way.

I think categorically calling all of them dark patterns is overselling it though.

I really enjoy having tight controls, that probably gives me a hit of dopamine; are good controls now a dark pattern? We get hits of dopamine for things we enjoy, and yet we wouldn't call everything fun in games all dark patterns.

The nice part of the `.bin` format is you don't need to do anything to support multiple files or cross deps. The build system packages all of the files/messages/services into a single file for you to load.

The wholesale/spot electricity market is a scary place, as some people in Texas discovered last year [1]

Time of use pricing tranches are designed to insulate consumers from that sort of variability, while also incentivizing consumers to minimize consumption during peak demand times.

Time-of-use electricity pricing has been happening in California for a long time, but only now is it becoming mandatory (there are still many households out there on legacy flat-rate plans, although they are being moved).

Many parts of the country are just now introducing time-of-use pricing. As both the grid and loads become smarter and more resilient, we'll see consumer electricity rates reflect the underlying wholesale price variability even more, but probably never completely.

Some people really enjoy the process of getting achievements, and are disappointed when they discover a new game doesn't have them. It doesn't feel like a dark pattern to them.
We’re taking about a feature which requires companies to get consent before tracking users. That’s all. It applies to everyone, including Apple.

It only harms Facebook because their business only works if users are deceived into being tracked when they don’t want to be.

If users wanted to be tracked, they would opt-in.

That isn’t about Apple destroying anyone. It’s about Facebook building a business on a deceptive practice.
They didn't expand the supply of SOL, they "expanded" the supply of wormhole bridged ETH, or rather returned the liquidity ratio of bridged ETH to 1:1.

Bridged assets are really just an IOU issued by the bridge, all the assets remain in custody of the bridge on whatever network they came from (in this case, Ethereum mainnet). As long as you can take that "IOU 1 ETH" to the bridge and get back 1 mainnet ETH, everything runs smoothly. If you can't, the market will decide the value of those IOUs accordingly.

Here are the IRS tax tables:

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040tt.pdf

Note that right away, it begins with taxable income. That means you've already subtracted the standard deduction (25k for married couples), and any pretax deductions like 401(k)s or HSAs, which could be up to ~25k, and health insurance premiums.

The current Child Tax Credit is 3600 for children under 6 (3000 for children 6 and over.)

So, based on the above tables, assuming that a married couple can do no better than the standard deduction, and qualifies for no tax credits other than two Child Tax credits, they have to have more than about 63k of taxable income to be paying any federal income tax at all.
great idea - but I think there needs to be much more refinement. On the front page when I landed there were all kinds of books, like "Trumped" which is not a kids book. So maybe look at the landing page to fit your genre. Then on a search for "Tintin" I get "Television as an Instrument of Terror" which in this case is probably not relevant. Relevant content did come up also "Rick Steins Belgium", Tintin books and a biography of Herge.

I like the ability to read the book in the pop up.

So great idea, but is this a allbooksearch engine for anybody, or a kids book site?
It wasn't a reasonable position since we've known cats and dogs (and everything else) could catch it. (Among other reasons, but this is the most obvious for anyone even slightly familiar with previous vaccination efforts.)

For a virus that supposedly just jumped from wild animals to humans, it'd be irresponsible to simultaneously think it couldn't happen again from any of the number of species potentially acting as reservoirs.
Persistence is key.

How could we possibly design a system, whereby persistence alone is enough - enough for a liveable income, facilities to do research, and contact with fellow researchers who might help with the next piece of the puzzle?

Our concept of knowledge is ludicrously positivist - we tend to think we know where we are ignorant. I feel the reality is that we are surrounded by potential breakthroughs. The only problem is it might take your whole life - or longer - to make them work... and a specific one might not be there at all. So the answer is to let ten thousand flowers bloom, whereever they want (and not imprison them).

The odds are not great for individual flowers, so it's disingenuous to encourage them; but the odds are great, collectively.
^ good reply
> You just make it happen.

Funny you're light on specifics. We talk about a situation where people die if it doesn't happen. So better propose something solid.

> almost infinite resources

Build hospital tents.

> relaxing licensing laws

Employ untrained people.

> removing any other political or bureaucratic hurdle

Eh that tends to happen, once you're in that triage situation.

Look you can't will medical care. You have to build it. It takes decades.
It can also serve as the simplest user-configurable hardware key. Many hardware keys from 1990s were not that more complex.

It sure inflated the stock market and (re-)inflated the housing market.
Well, the response to your comment was right there in the second sentence you, for some reason, failed to quote: "The US is turning away so many talented individuals that could vastly add to the nation in many different ways."
"Input Age" was a factor in determining priority:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Miner_fees#Priority_transactions

Maybe I got it wrong: I thought it meant how long the coins have been sitting around, but maybe it means how long the transaction has been sitting unmined to make sure no transaction is left behind?

But it seems I'm on the right track, in that input_age was a measure of how many confirmations, which suggests it's about how long it's been since the last time they were moved:

Replying to myself to complain. LOL.

Found the iPad. My daughter hid it and turned it off so it could not be located. A couple days ago I had asked her if she knew where it was. We have a thing where if I really need to know 100% the answer to a question, we'll lock pinkies and she can tell me anything and I agree there will be no consequences for what she confesses. A momentary free pass in return for a hard truth. She lied to me when I asked her point blank if she had done anything with the iPad or knew where it was. That hurts. She has a casual relationship with the truth (she is 11 years old, FWIW), and I had been trying to give her a way to get back into a more trustworthy relationship. To lie during a pinky promise... ugh. I've failed as a parent, LOL. There's no real reason to punish her, I guess, she's lost more than she realizes yet, I think.

Rant over. Parenting is occasionally such a PITA. I love my daughter but she causes me ongoing anxiety as a parent. My son (9 years old) is so compliant, by comparison he's a breeze.
The desert burns too.

> The resulting Kafka-esque bits were what regional grid operators and regulators jointly required _a long time ago_ as part of the transition to a "deregulated" electricity market (e.g. this was not enacted in response to solar).

That’s not the part I was referring to as Kafkaesque. I meant the part where the OP had to go though an obscured workflow and wait over months to receive slow replies just to get the process moving to be paid for their solar contribution.

If it was a long time because that was an inherent difficulty of complying with necessary safety regulations, I would not call it Kafkaesque. But here, it’s where there are obvious attempts to scare off all but the most diligent, just to get the super-watered-down version of being paid.

Ditto for stuff like “you can only trade energy within the same time bands because we have no concept of a conversion factor between different time bands”.

Is it big deal to specify in your search what you want to do with the "flowers"?
I appreciate most of the arguments here, but take strong exception to the validity of blaming "just-in-time logistics". Consider grocery store A that uses Just-in-Time and grocery store B that does not:

Grocery store A (with JIT) has much less inventory, which has a variety of benefits. It needs fewer square feet, which reduces rent/heating/lighting/cleaning costs and therefore reduces prices; this also means more residential space for actual residents. It has less food waste, because most inventory is only on a shelf for a hours or days rather than weeks. Paradoxically, it is actually easier to keep goods in stock, because there are 10x fewer goods to count.

By contrast, Grocery store B (without JIT) has much more inventory, which has a variety of costs. It needs more square feet, which increases rent/heating/lighting/cleaning costs and therefore increases prices; this also means less residential space for actual residents. It has more food waste, because inventory is sitting there for weeks or months to prevent a shortage. Individual items go out of stock all the time, because the staff can't effectively count this much inventory.

Similar arguments hold for stocks of parts at factories, with the additional problems of obsolescence, things getting lost, risk of fire or shelving collapses etc. Carrying enough inventory to weather a shortage like recent COVID shortages would require months and months of inventory; imagine the obsolescence costs if the factory needs to make any change at all!

We need to stop blaming just-in-time logistics for shortages. Outsourcing, deregulation, anticompetitive behaviors are all valid, but just-in-time logistics makes businesses much more efficient which helps everyone. The thought of having stockpiles large enough to prevent issues like recent ones is completely absurdist.

This is what I was talking about..

Sonos basically reinvented my Samsung remote. (+ the 8 meter cable I made as a 14 year old kid so I can connect it to the TV which was on the other side of the living room, cause my parents asked me if I could connect both for a house party).

I read about people with egg allergies tolerating duck eggs and immediately ran to an Amish market that carried them and excitedly ate just a few grams of the resulting scrambled eggs and spent the night vomiting and developing a full body rash.

I’ve been tempted to try quail eggs, as the same Amish market has them as well. But besides being worried of suffering a similar fate as the duck eggs, or in a cruel twist of fate, I can tolerate quail eggs and am forever forced to use many tens of these mini eggs when following a recipe or making an omelette!

Just egg was such a great experience, I actually teared up when I ate my first bacon, ‘egg’ and cheese bagel. Such a cool product.
You are being gross. You should disassociate the AirTag from your account.

You seem to insist that you forgot to take the AirTag off, and that leaving it on was an accident. Well, you now know that you didn't and, since you don't plan to retrieve it, shouldn't surveil it for your idle whimsey. If you sold your home and forgot to remove a few of your indoor cameras, is it okay for you to continue to monitoring the home? The answer is obviously no. What you're doing is not different.

Just because feds aren't knocking at your door doesn't mean what you're doing is not gross. I definitely wouldn't call it funny.
But Apple's premium will probably be upwards of $1000 (I mean, seriously, do you really expect it to cost less? :) ). Meaning more than 3 times the price of the Quest 2! And this is for a product category that has not yet proven itself as indispensable in our daily lives, unlike the smartphone. I'm sure many Apple enthusiasts will buy one because it's shiny and from Apple but it will not be mainstream like that.

I doubt people are willing to pay that much more just to avoid facebook (especially considering facebook is decoupling their logins again from the quest services).

With current inflation rates (The EU is printing money by the billions per day) I do see a big gap in American (especially Silicon Valley) purchasing power and here in Western Europe. Whereas a few years ago I'd see only flagship phones in public transport, now it's a ton of redmi, budget samsungs etc. People don't have a lot of money anymore.
One way to interpret welfare is the government paying off people who have no capacity to be productive from interfering with people who are productive. If the needy did not get “free money” they would have to resort to crime, which negatively affects others.

Have covered this question in a few replies but in short: anything you share on Circles is encrypted in transit with SSL/TLS and encrypted at rest on the server. We hold the keys, at least for now until we implement a better solution. Posts are decrypted server-side and are encrypted in transit with SSL/TLS.

You can trust us because we say we are going to respect your privacy and we need to build trust and do what we say we will in order to build a great brand. I understand this often isn't enough and trust has been abused by other companies, and for that we'll keep pushing on the privacy front of the product.
I know from experience that T-Mobile uses TLS-SNI (and possibly DNS) to determine the hostname of the HTTPS site being visited. If it is a known streaming service, the connection is throttled.

In T-Mobile's case, this throttling can be avoided by using a tool such as GreenTunnel which can run in Termux (on Android) and works by spliting the SNI portion of the ClientHello into two TCP segments. Their DPI appliances are too dumb to reassemble the fragments and correctly categorize them as going to a streaming service.

The best part about GreenTunnel on Android is that it runs a local HTTP proxy, which you can adb forward to a PC so that you can watch 4k Netflix on your computer using your unlimited T-Mobile plan (this doesn't count as tethering, as the IP packets originate on the phone).
Please do provide some explanation if you have any.

I find it amazing that people have said from the beginning the money printer will cause inflation. When it finally arrives it was "transitory" and now, lo and behold, it's a great concern of the Fed.

I still think it was the money printing. People are not scrambling to buy iPhones and factories can't keep up. Everything is more expensive!
There's nothing in this article that I haven't read elsewhere. But it still only gets things half right. Sure, outsourcing and offshoring to China caused supply shocks for things from Asia, but...potatoes? cooking oil? These things are not shipped from China. There's more going on than international problems. America has plenty internal supply chain problems, too. The causes might be similar, smaller scale, intra-national rather than international, but it's the elephant in the room is that things aren't functioning here.

I'm currently dealing with a framework where I've got to define data models here, register them with dependency injection over there, use them in an API controller a third place, register the routes somewhere else, and touch three or four different UI components, every time I make a small change.

The difference is stark when I have the lean, more-or-less functional core business logic library sitting beside this baroque stringly-typed reflected 7-bean salad of a web application shell.
