This is one reason I’m happy I live near a Microcenter. I haven’t bought anything from Newegg since they changed owners a few years ago and don’t plan on buying anything from them now.
As I post every so often here on Hacker News, have a look at this ad my elderly father got a couple of years ago just before COVID hit: https://imgur.com/a/Lk85lST . It's a perfectly innocent search by someone looking for help with a problem that directs towards an ad for a phishing site. The worst part is that it's highly targeted. I tried doing EXACTLY the same search from my own phone and laptop and got completely different results despite coming in from the same wifi network at the same location and the same time. This isn't acceptable. If malicious ads couldn't be targeted like that so that more people saw the same unacceptable content, it sure as hell would be reported a lot more. Instead, someone has made a decision that nobody should be held accountable. It generates a profit, so it's OK, right?
NZ switched from FPP to MMP for partially this reason. It also neutered the outsized voting power of marginal electorates - entire elections were decided at times by the votes of 5K - 10K people.

I guess our marginal seats were the equivalent of US "swing states"?

> Welcome to being a centrist, the largest and most ignored political party in america.

Everyone in the major parties, and everyone off of the axis between them, likes to see themselves as the center of the political spectrum, but that's actually a pretty empty place, not a crowded one.
I do not like decorators. There, I said it. I'm all about a rational tech discussion, but I'm gonna put on my hater hat and say I think the syntax is stinky and I cringe when I look at a codebase littered with a smattering of side-effect labels. I know this is a superficial criticism so I will concede to those that have seen elegant use of decorators in action, I learn something new every day so perhaps I'll see the light eventually.
Materialism died out over a 100 years ago and has been repeatedly proven through hundreds of experiments from labs throughout the world to be total junk science.

Why do people feel the need to continuously push this fake science?
> There are four ways in which people disagree.

This itself is an epistemological matter.

You've listed a perfectly reasonable high level summary of some of the problems....but is this summary actually true, comprehensively? For example: "There are four cities in China" is also a true statement.

There's one fundamental thing most everyone overlooks when engaging in examination of reality: you're not actually dealing with reality, but rather a sophisticated and invisible model of it - and it is because of this (fundamentally, with massive amounts of additional nuanced details) that I believe at least some decent background in the fundamentals of epistemology (plus: logic, linguistics, semantics, psychology, meditation/mindfulness, etc) are required for humanity to get a handle on this out of control bus we're all riding in.

And the scariest part to me: not only is there no serious initiative underway or under discussion approaching the problem from this perspective (unless I've somehow not encountered it in my searching), rare is the individual who is not opposed to the validity of the notion. As crazy as it sounds, I truly believe there is something hard wired in the human mind cutting off our access to such ideas - it seems not possible for people to even consider it.
The numbers I've seen say ~55% of web traffic and ~70% of screen time is mobile.

So there will still be plenty of users for a desktop site, but why not go responsive and serve both? I wouldn't build a native mobile app until the users start demanding it, and probably not even then.

Good grief. There's a huge difference in following someone on Twitter vs a personal email account. You think someone you meet that knows $famousCelebrity is just going to give you their email account? Really?
this doesn't surprise me at all. I've had many negative experiences with companies that make disability aids. the target market is poor and vulnerable, they're often monopolies, and they can charge tons of money for crappy tech through insurance.

I bet insurance companies declined to pay what they wanted and they decided to pack up shop in search of a bigger exit. wonder if they ever lose sleep about their abandoned users.

"Solving" a case in real world policing is much more complicated than you seem to think. Many crimes are not reported, solved off-record, or just prevented in the first place. Many are reported with no info to do anything with, and others take magnitudes more resources to solve then is practical.

I suggest you go for a police ride-along or listen to dispatch to learn what it's really like. And police are still at the mercy of the laws and courts which can make their efforts ineffective. You can catch all the criminals you want but it won't do anything if they're let out immediately with no consequences.

There are also private hospitals with european or Singapore level service for more money, and still far far cheaper than anything US healthcare.

LOL. All the regulation and they didn't protect the patients and they didn't help the company.
> With a 3rd party, cooperation becomes just as important (if not more so) than conflict.

The # of viable parties is a symptom of features of the electoral system that also have effects like that, not the cause.

And electoral systems that support multiple viable parties don't so much force cooperation in most cases (though they may make the need for multiparty coalitions) as promote positive competition (based on advocating policy ideas) over negative competition (based on tearing down the main opponent) because elections aren't zero sum and tearing down your main opponent can instead serve another opponent rather than yourself.
The fact that someone can do this just underscores how broken the modern web is.

"They don't do very much crime prevention. "

They do quite a lot of it. Everything from simply having police presence to keeping track of bad actors. But there's only so much they can do before a criminal act begins.
For turn based games like board games, I make clients that don't have any concept of the game rules at all. The server generates a complete list of all available actions to the player and sends an array of all actions along with the game state. When you take an action the only payload the client sends is the index into this array. In this way the client has no way to express a cheat whatsoever.

Perhaps I'm vain, but I like to be on the camera during meetings. It's that one little extra iota of personalization. So I'm speaking to my team's faces, and vice versa, instead of just speaking to coloured circles with letters in them.

I don't begrudge others to have their cameras on, but if someone else has it on, I'll turn mine on.

I wonder what they would do if another state were to set state law specifying the same, or better still one week before Iowa. Would they both just keep moving their primary/caucuses back until it is set immediate after the inauguration of the last election or would the supreme court tell then both to knock it off and set the dates for everyone.
the idea of unsolicited app specs is cool. Everybody should be writing more specs. Not just apps but about other things in life also.

It is hard to change an app. It is actually easier to change other aspects of life by writing an intentional spec.

I'd you divided all your measurements by 7, I'm pretty sure both datasets would still align with Benford's curve.
It wouldn't necessarily, but it'd allow others to fill the niche should the company stop filling it themselves.

My understanding is that copyright law is meant to allow a company to profit off its ideas for a set period of time, in order to recoup R&D costs. Then, if the company no longer has the means to profit off the IP, and won't sell it to another who wishes to make the IP available, the IP should become public domain.
It's not mandatory, as many people register Independent and have no difficulty voting. The only restriction is in the preliminary elections to pick candidates (called Primaries) as these are functions of parties and can be (rightfully?) closed to non-party members.

This is quite similar to Canada, in that the party members pick candidates and vote for the leader. However, once the slate is tabled for each riding, it's purely a case of confirming you're registered on the list in the riding.

"cheese bacon bread" seems to match "cheesy bacon bread", "cheese & bacon bread", etc. I'd link some example results but don't want to feed the SEO beast. I visited the sites, I viewed sources, and did not find that string. I assumed what is happening in the 2nd case is that "and" is treated like "&" and both are "punctuation" in their model. And in the first, cheesy=cheese.

While it's a trivial example and might be what most people want, it doesn't help with more technical topics. And recipe blog spam is a particularly sore point for many searchers.

They can't really give sight to the blind - from the article: Normal vision, this is not. Patients and doctors alike stress that the Argus II provides a kind of artificial vision, really a brand-new sense that people must learn how to use. Argus II users perceive shades of gray that appear and disappear as they move their heads.

So it's not like millionaires with blurring are going to be getting in line. This seems like it's for the totally blind.

It's also wrong about some basic details AFAIKS. A "memory controller" typically has more than one memory channels and not always ganged, so independent concurrent accesses even in a single controller can be supported. DRAM can also have multiple banks which can be accessed independently. So there is certainly not only one "bank" per north bridge or one bank per ODMC.

The TSA website makes it pretty clear that ammo and toy guns are prohibited as a carryon. Even though the website doesn’t say so, I think someone could assume this ranges from everything from shell casings to a fake ammo belt.

Also FWIW it seems like red state airports have the most signs warning travelers not to bring guns or ammo through security. I have yet to see this at blue state airports.
Interesting. They have the right idea (using a black rectangle) but in the wrong program. I can see how this could trip up non-technical people.
Rockbox – free replacement firmware for digital music players
When you're in Linode's position, running people's private and infrastructure, you have a very finite amount of grace. Individual employees at linode had an incentive to violate the company's security. When security violations happened that could plausibly have come from employees following their incentives the company consistently failed to assure customers it was making sure the security issues were being addressed. In my opinion this at least shows a wild disregard the well-being of customers and I think it's pretty normal to treat that kind of wild-disregard as malicious (even though it may not be).

The other issue they have to contend with is dealing with countries passing laws that give the executive authority to the administrate law with which ever way the wind blows. In the US once congress grants the executive power on something to administrate law it tends to flip flop on what is enforced every time the other party comes into majority.

I was reading about property ownership in Vietnam, and it sounds complicated. I believe the state is the owner of much land and real estate, and that "owners" as we'd think of them in the west have secured long-term leases on the property. And I'm uncertain about the availability of those leases to foreigners (meaning I literally do not know either way, I'm not trying to insinuate anything).

Neither Cheney or McCain, both stalwart if, in McCain’s case, quirky on some issues, conservatives. (Both rejected the Trump cult, but that's not inconsistent with being a dedicated conservative.)

Moderate Republicans (and Conservative Dems)[0] have been largely dead since the long post-WWII realignment settled out in the mid-1990s.

[0] Yes, this is asymmetrical; that's how systematic overrepresentation to one side of the spectrum combined with the incentive to nearly-balanced parties under the electoral system we have shakes out.
I go along with what the other people are doing. If most of them have cameras on, that's what I do to - if they're off, I'm off too. I'm non-judgmental about anyone's preferences one way or the other and accept people for who they are. Times that I tend to turn my camera on, regardless of what anyone else is doing is when I meet a person for the first time or need to interact with customers or other organizations outside of where I'm working.
Long ago when I worked on real-time digital signal processing I did have to worry about DRAM discharge timing because the board I was using had a non-maskable interrupt to do the RAM refresh, and this limited the rate at which I could access the A/D converter. I think it was an LSI-11 board if I remember right. Fun times.

But yes, unless you're doing bare-metal embedded systems you haven't needed to care in a long time ... at least until someone came up with Rowhammer.
I think it's apples/oranges. Beanie babies had your average joe mobbing the stores black friday style. Even grandma was in on it. With NFTs, everyone is talking about them, but few folks have gone so far as to buy one relatively speaking.
Keep in mind one can vote because you believe in the candidate's position, or you have concerns for one or more parties's positions and so vote defensively. Remember, if you don't vote you voted for the winner.

Anybody who could not tell what the effect of picking or not picking Trump in 2016 would be should question their moral compass or mental acuity. It was pathetically obvious how social/moral matters would be handled with each option.

> There are explanations about their stances regarding F-Droid etc. if you're willing to look for them.

Source(s): Dude trust me.

> These issues are orthogonal.

They are distinct issues, but not orthogonal. It wouldn't matter how Signal decided to run their "rather closed" open source software project if they allowed other people's forks to connect to their centralised network. By not allowing that, they have "weaponised" the "rather closed" development model against their own users, and, as a result, invalidated these bold claims made about why centralised networks are better.

The benefit of Free Software is that it allows everyone (rather than a self-selected few) to add and remove features as they choose, and let users choose which fork they support. That creates a selective pressure towards genuine (user-centric) innovation, rather than changes that are declared to be innovation by fiat (excuse the pun). It also prevents the sort of stagnation (and potentially security problems) we saw when Internet Explorer had a 90% browser market share.

There are very clear links between centralisation of design/control and a culture of closed source software development (with a non-transparent "we know better" attitude).

That’s easy to do when games are simple to make as they were back then.

Besides, a lot of people will just buy whatever shit you put out as long as the hype is enough, and most games make most of their revenue in those early days after release.

Mobile doesn't show that, at all. It also doesn't show that bit if you use the brand name "kitchenboss" instead of "kitchen boss", which I originally intended. My phone might have auto-corrected that without me noticing.
