Certainly you can write C++ for MCUs; the question is, should you, and does the ecosystem encourage that.

OTOH a bigger ARM core can very well be found on a small embedded computer, and it's capable enough to run something like a browser. At this scale, pure C becomes burdensome, and libraries (like a browser engine, or Qt) are in C++ anyway.
Given how Global Foundries has essentially given up in regards to moving to better nodes, it seems like spinning the fabs off and going to contract manufacturing was absolutely the right call. AMD was already a gen or so behind and falling back further due to lack of investment in it's fabs.

I think you did a great job designing and implementing this. However if you are in Germany unfortunately electric bikes and other personal electric vehicles with a top speed over 15 km/h (off the top of my head) need to be registered with the traffic authority and carry a license plate. It’s basically impossible to do this for DIY builds, as far as I know.
Agree with dropping the coffee shop video. It borders on cringe. Why? The giant box of a headset isn’t socially acceptable. It looks intimidating to use, alien, and heavy. IMO this is currently one of the largest challenges to XR. tbf this is a problem for all current and past generation VR headsets. I believe this is the main reason Apple is opting for thin goggles instead of a form factor that more closely resembles other VR headsets.
> all of these features

I don't want "all of the these features", I want background play, like it used to have.

I don't consume a lot, and a couple of the creators who are my "dailys" don't monetise with ads anyway. I also watch occasional YT on my TV via chromecast with the "full advertising experience" enabled.

The thing that irks me is that background play used to be part of the standard Youtube app (as far as I recall anyway), and now it's been taken away in what feels like a strong shepherding hand towards subscription - which annoys me enough to look for alternatives. (eg. I'm working towards migrating off gmail having been on the grandfathered free custom domain thing long enough to take free for granted).
I think wish dot com is entirely drop shipping based. If you look through particular product areas, you'll notice there is no actual competition, and everything ordered is packaged exactly the same way. There are always a lot of "people" selling different combinations of the exact same items. There is a slight benefit though, since for example, someone who is selling guitar foot pedals is also likely to be selling other guitar related items. But it's hard to tell if those accounts are actually real people.

Also, they have huge warehouses in most of the major cities. They ship everything in bulk to the warehouse where it is then divvied up for last-mile shipping.

They also have a smaller number of local sellers in each city, but I noticed that they are getting their stock from... you guessed it... wish dot com. It does make shipping faster, but it's still very similar to the Amway model that way.
`curl -k` doesn't do any of that. It just connects via TLS and does no checking whatsoever on the remote server's identity.

And what you're saying about CA certs has no resemblance to reality. People don't look at certs by matching their public keys exactly to what they expect... they trust certificate authorities to make that determination for them. But again, `curl -k` does neither so I don't think your point applies regardless.

I expect them to follow the rules. They don't. I'm aware they don't, so I am pretty vigilant of their expectation that they are exempt from common sense.

I took a class in performance driving once. The central rule there is to "be predictable", as that's how accidents are avoided at 200 mph when you're 2 feet off of someone else's bumper.

It's a lesson I took to heart in my everyday driving, and I wish that principle was taught regularly to other drivers, and that cyclists would have a clue about it.
You are probably right. I don't know enough to compare country citizen wealth.

But while your point is relevant to the marketing person, it is irrelevant to me as a consumer.

As per most humans of course, I never feel like I have enough. Like many, I have a mortgage and so am required to work until the day I die to keep a roof over my family's head. Not a glamourous roof, but ours.

So when I have friends overseas getting the same digital files as I am for less money, I feel ripped off.

For physical items in Australia you could argue the large distances for transport explain the cost/convenience difference.

But on the internet where the cost of information transport is negligible, a minimum 20% mark up is too blatant for the exact same convenience.

Thank you for the detailed response. I think this is exactly what I worry about.

I usually fly Air Canada (AC), where these have been more common than the us carriers i've been on for a while. I use it _every time_.

Do I also have a phone? Sure, but the screen is smaller and I have to hold it.
Do I also have a laptop? Sure, but if the person in front of me reclines quickly I don't want to hear a crunch.

In economy I'll use the in-seat thing to watch something, and leave my laptop in my bag. In economy-plus or higher I'll put a movie on the screen and write some code on my laptop.

On the AC flights I've taken I'd estimate something like 80% plus of the folks on the plane are using the in-seat stuff to watch something. The rest are asleep or reading a book.

DeOldify – Automatically Colorizing Videos
I have, I owned a Tesla Model S P85D for a while. Had to turn off one-pedal-driving. I found it substantially less intuitive than two pedals for any kind of spirited driving, which is what I do every time I get in I car I own. I've had 5 corvettes, 3 GT-R's, and currently driving an 800 hp Mercedes AMG GT S (2 door coupe, not that horrid 4-door atrocity), so I'm admittedly not the target demographic either for one-pedal-driving or EV's more broadly, as they currently stand.

My standards for what qualifies as "strong" braking are probably bordering on alien for most people, too - about 95 feet for 60 mph to 0. That Tesla took almost 120 feet. A new Honda Accord takes about 130 feet.

Money is an answer to exploitation about as much

as

A slaver feeding their slaves is an answer to slavery.

Just because you get something in exchange, doesn't mean that there's no power imbalance, the exploitation doesn't exist, and the people with less power don't actually have few alternatives to survive.

If you're arguing for: "they should be paid more!" Because currently the pay is unfair and doesn't take into account potential long term damage, that's fair... But it's not a realistic solution (how do you unionize gig workers? Because at the end of the day, people on OF have more in common with the gig economy than with porn actors of yore)

> YouTube wouldn't be able to justify staying up indefinitely. It feels heavy on negative externalities.

"YouTube files bankruptcy and closes it's doors because people aren't willing to watch advertisements and executives could think of no other source of revenue to keep the doors open."

That's never going to happen, because the executives would be fired for incompetency. If advertising suddenly becomes a non-viable revenue stream, YouTube (and internet video hosting in general) is not going to disappear.

In fact, I ACTIVELY WISH we would drop the advertising model, and I will not support it if I have any alternative. It is a poison on the world and a giant economic waste. The world would be much the better place if YouTube (and the internet in general) gave up on advertising entirely.

Boeing and Airbus (and others) buy radar altimeters from the same vendors.

It just happens that Boeing finished checking out a bunch of configurations that they have sold in the past against interference from 5G under FCC allocation (AFAIK they previously checked against setups allowed in other countries), and published results.

Airbus and others are also performing extra tests now.
Yeah so we circle back to my original question: What did they expect would happen instead? Why didn't they do anything? The problem wasn't going to just disappear randomly right?
It is my limited understanding that no EM signal drops off as vertical wall at the exact edge of spectrum, and radar altimeters behave within actual defined requirements and regulations. The land analogy is useful exactly to the point where it is deceptive / misleading (no ill intent is assumed here! We are all just trying to figure it out :). Land behaves like land (nice and discrete and binary with a thick clear line) and waves, well, like waves :-)
> , and have their content available to the rest of the web.

The issue is that DNS and registrar services are fragmented by design, and there doesn't seem to be a standard DNS API that would make it easy to simply say"select your domain registrar" and use that to start an oauth flow then manage DNS records for a site. Therefore, anyone who does run even a simple service like hosted wordpress (without using the host as their registrar) needs to at least have basic knowledge of what DNS records are and how to put in their registrar without messing up email records or other subdomains they might have.
What I also find very annoying is that the Outlook app even embeds a whole browser (with GUI; is it Edge?). It makes me furious to be forced to use the embedded browser when opening links in emails instead of a preferred, already installed browser.

Or at least isolate them from the rest of the code. Of course, it's difficult to recognize which design decisions are crucial without already being an expert, so this sort of advice is probably silly. It's probably also the kind of advice that would have been more likely to strangle Anki in its crib rather than giving us the opportunity to discuss how a wildly successful program that has helped many people learn many things should improve its data model.

Seems anecdotally true for many so called "Elite" careers, ie. Investment Banking, Management Consultant, Law, etc. They mainly hire from "Elite" schools.
The interesting part of the idea seems to be the automatic creation of a 3d model from what I would guess to be photogrammetric techniques based on data from ground penetrating radar and also normal radar (radar is an interesting one I would have expected lidar).

But you're right - the government inspected the bridges often enough to understand they were in poor condition, and even if these guys give their scans of a bridge to an engineer, that engineer is still going to need to visit the site to visually inspect, see corrosion, etc.

If they can make a 3d model that includes the interior of concrete then maybe engineers will be able to estimate the cost of remediation or the urgency of repair a lot better than they do currently, but that's not guaranteed or demonstrated in the article.

The city doesn't have the budget for repairs on all its bridges like the article seems to think. The state doesn't have the budget to repair all of its bridges at once either. They both inspect the structures so they can prioritize the work based on the budget received. I doubt there were any engineers who believed the bridge was going to collapse, but maybe more in depth scans would have revealed something that would have changed their minds.
It’s quite ironic that China benefits from all sides of this.

They’ll probably cut a deal for Russia for cheap oil and gas, while simultaneously selling renewables, e.g Solar Panels, Heat Pumps, Wind Turbines, etc. right back to Europe. In addition, the Ukraine situation gives them strategic advantage in predicting the West’s reaction if they take Taiwan. Since the takeover and dismantling of democracy in Hong Kong went so well, with so little pushback from the West, they are probably feeling quite confident.

If geopolitics were a game China is the real winner.
If meritocracy as a concept has any validity in theory or practice this wouldn’t be too surprising due to the nature of success and failure snowballing throughout one’s life.

The article starts:

“ Faculty careers are shut off to all individuals with Ph.D.s except those from a small number of universities,”

I’m wondering what % they think would be expected if it wasn’t ’shut off’ ?

Should it be <1%? E.g. equal to the number of elite graduates? What would this outcome presume?
This entire thread seems to be about guard bands and filter roll off rate. But my question is: why does the altimeter blindly rely on received signal strength (basically: AM)? Surely it should correlate the received signal with the previously transmitted signal modulated with some PN sequence or some more fancy code? I'm an EE but not a radar expert, but I had the distinct impression going back decades that this is how radars work (at least military ones), among other reasons to thwart jamming. Fwiw feeding false returns to enemy radar has been a thing since 1939. Simply saying "oh there's a bit of noise, let me assume it's the ground talking" seems quite stupid even before the big bad 5G came along.
> there's no reason for time to ever be much larger than 10000.
One such reason would be a shader with an effect that is not trivial to loop.

For example, take a look at this looping technique: https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/195316/60486

Not only it isn't trivial, but also it requires a 4D texture. You may have a nice effect going on that uses a texture with less dimensions and looping it will be ever harder... Or ugly.
We’re absolutely already at war. Our institutions are being used against us. However, we are resilient. Anecdotally, I admit to falling for Russian disinfo in the past. Mea culpa. Now I’m a lot more wary and open eyed about how this stuff is generated and spread. I think every day, a number of adults learn for the first time they were duped by online misinformation, and will take steps to prevent it in the future. Hopefully this process happens faster than our enemy is able to deceive us.
