And that is why I got out of archaeology. No evidence at all, just protection of current political / societal norms and cultural flashpoints on to past peoples. Archaeology really needs to get better at reporting the facts and much more skeptical of their interpretations.
I think I agree with the point you are trying to make but I think the form in which you are making it is alienating people.
Probably just the criminals. It should be easy enough to prove to the police that you don’t have the means or motive to acquire those illegal goods.

However, if you’re mixed up in illegal activity then yeah it might look bad.
The sizes mean different things in different platforms. Google reports the download size, Apple reports the size that the app will consume on your device. Both have their uses but you shouldn't compare the two.
I have a Subaru BRZ and it is probably the most analog car of their fleet.

There's zero connectivity to the internet, the headunit is replaceable, etc. Everything works from the ECU, wiring harness, etc.

In some ways it's too bad that it takes a car being a niche sports car to qualify for having a (mostly) analog setup.

The rest of the fleet should be this way, but then fancy features like EyeSight and such probably wouldn't work as well.
I can only imagine the types of things a SV tech worker might say to a police officer at a traffic stop if they knew the officer's salary. And how the officer might respond.

It's not obvious at all. Boeing shouldn't be using these frequencies and this has been 10 years in the making. Boeing should fix their equipment to operate within its assigned range (+ the huge guard bands they gave them for no real reason).

This is like your neighbor driving onto your lawn, and then demanding you move out of your house. They should drive right back onto their lawn.
Yes, I saw one in an auto store recently. I almost bought it instead of a battery jump starter, but it would be too difficult to install in my car.

One approach, assuming you are talking about relational databases: ensure that every query contains the tenant-id and the tenant-id is a key in all relevant tables. No way of balancing tenant load in this model, though, unless you can balance at the query level.
> Hasn't crime in the US trended downward for the last 50+ years?

Mostly. There's been a sizeable blip up during the pandemic (it's unknown if that's the cause) and that's led to talking heads talking about "the greatest rise in crime in 50 years", but that's talking about the percent increase year-over-year, and it's been trending down for a while. It's still below the rates it was at in the 1990s, which was lower than the rates in the 1970's and 1980's.

The analogy would be if you owned MySpace stock (I know, it's not public) since 1999. Sure, maybe it shot up 20% this year, but who cares you're still out most of your money.

Thanks, that is super helpful.

Re: the hype, I don't know what language you use without hype behind it, but what I say is -- there are worse things than a little hype. Java had millions of dollars poured into a marketing campaign, and it has done pretty well for itself. Rust's hype is mostly grassroots, and, from my perspective, the excitement behind Rust is reasonably well-justified for many software domains.

Again, you should feel free to disagree. I guess what I'd say is that your experience has not been my experience. And I'll keep an eye out for you on the forums if you want to discuss Rust!
I think the second case is most likely. I don’t see crypto displacing any fiat or even financial rail system completely, but just taking a sizable share. I’ve seen very reasonable use cases in Southeast Asia in remittance. Western Union takes a ridiculous cut, and I wouldn’t be surprised if similar use cases are in Africa and South America as well.

There is no overall pass for GCSEs and A-levels (the exams taken at the end of secondary school), it's per subject.

That's why the article says "no English and math GCSE".

That's also why people in the UK ask about the number of GCSEs and, especially, A-levels someone has, and then ask about which ones.
Abolishing police means ... what? I don't understand this. How do you abolish something only to replace it with... a new copy of that something because you didn't change the rules.

Wouldn't it be better to just fire complete departments and clear them out from top to bottom? This would let you re-hire as necessary but with new rules in play. You might end up with some of the same old people but they now know the trapdoor can open.

Most of the problems with police are at the top. Not the bottom. This includes the laws they use like civil forfeiture and other silliness. That's your real target. Why aren't the abolish people going after that?

I would question any evidence of its "much cheaper and easier to design cars to be serviced by people who focus on a few models, and have a full suite of tools specifically made for those vehicles." The local mechanics are often more skilled and more experienced than their dealership counterparts (simple money explains this). The whole idea every manufacture found some unique solution to complex rules and regulations, or that skilled mechanics cannot buy the equipment needed to fix these cars is just not true.

If nothing else, the number of videos on youtube telling people how to properly fix their vehicles when their dealer gives them some BS diagnostic should indicate the skill level of those dealer shops.

The less technology that is only fixable by the company's high priests, the better. If they cannot build serviceable items, then maybe the device is too dangerous to be in public.
Absolutely garbage reporting. The FAA / Boeing have no right to the frequencies in question. Even worse, they were given guard bands the size of their entire allocation which is ridiculous, and it still wasn't enough.

Yeah I'm curious to see where people bump up against the limits of the yml types DSL. I plan to make a UI on top of the yml to make it a bit easier to work with as well. I think the popularity of Protobuf as a format shows that people are willing to learn a new API format if it adds enough value.

Thank you for the feedback!
I find the device intriguing, indeed, but I'm not terribly interested in a custom distro. Based on the fact that your existing code is open-source, is it safe to assume I can just bring my own Linux distribution?
This appears to already be a very walk-able kinda place.

Not to say this can't be done elsewhere but this seems like a place that was going to be popular / this was going to work regardless.
It's silly to the point where I read someone defending our right to use cryptography under the second amendment. It should be part of it's own modern bill of rights or something so there is no ambiguity.
The real problem with ads is that you have to pay vastly more to remove them through a subscription (where it is even possible) than the revenue they would have brought.
The original article, and my comment, is about experience of American butter buyers.

It would not be surprising if there is much less difference between butter of various non-US dairies than between non-US and most US dairies.
Okay, so it's not actually about outputs.
The US saw a 30%+ increase in homicide rate in 2020, and though official stats are not available yet, early reports point to another large increase for 2021. This would put the US in a similar position to crime 50 years ago. Before the pandemic there was a clear trend downward. Undoing that so quickly is what has shocked a lot of people, though yes it has been worse than this at many points in history.

The idea they can have this type of interference low to the ground in a landing situation (when the reflected power is high) is a total failure on behalf of boeing. I can't even fully get my head around the physics that would get you an issue with even normal filtering, much less what once should be able to do on an airplane with high fixed costs and safety of life factors.

Amazing they can't do GPS as a cross check on indicated altitude over a terrain model.
> “Let’s say you are on a traffic stop and we have someone in the car who we suspect may be wanted?” Benigno asked. “How would you go about investigating somebody who you think may be trying to hide their apprehension and hide out who they are?”

How does this actually work? Presumably being wanted means that there's an arrest warrant or summons issued by a judge for a specific, previously identified person. Did the police somehow lose the person the first time?

Or is this some sort of James-Bond-like fantasy where one gets to scan a face and conveniently match a facial profile to some supposed well-known but elusive enemy of state from some intelligence database without any ambiguities?

They absolutely have left that door ajar on purpose. Presumably they calculate that by being the de facto go-to reader for the people who want to install their own software, they can both sell more devices and don't need to splash a lot of money up the security wall playing cat and mouse with motivated hardware hackers (who would become pretty motivated if they found there were no open platforms). It's not as if people who would install koreader would just roll over and start throwing money down on Kobo store books. They'd just never buy a Kobo at all.

I have a Clara HD and it's a fun little Linux device (no android nonsense, just a good old shell), Koreader is pretty great (a few rendering bugs aside) and I can even ssh into the thing _and_ pull files down from my computer with WebDAV though the koreader UI.
This used to be true, but now that 30-40% of the web audience uses adblockers, a wake-up call is imminent.
Are they using the RAID 5 or RAID 6 code in it? Because that was declared unfit for use well after we were all advised their filesystem was ready for prime time. Then it corrupted and lost data in situations that other file systems did not.

I've heard RAID 1 and RAID 10 modes are safer, but after the FS corrupted my data I haven't really had a lot of trust in it or the people who say again that it's ready for serious use.
The way I've thought about preventing cheating with Hathora is to make it server authoritative, and make it as simple as possible to validate client actions in the server.
Vim controls are a certain mode of thinking & no offense meant, but it sounds like you haven't delved too deeply into them. The complexities come when you start to recognize that there are motions and operators and that these can be composed. That you are thinking about arrows means you're not really at that level yet.

First step is to not use arrows any more, especially while in insert mode. Put this in your .vimrc (or jet brains equiv):

inoremap <left> nop
inoremap <right> nop
inoremap <up> nop
inoremap <down> nop

Insert mode arrows destroy vim brain.

Then, once rid of these broken "training"-wheels learn some of the more advanced motions and operators. https://vim-adventures.com is fun.

The emacs/readline shortcuts are nice in MacOS text fields and in the command line, but there are only a handful I use regularly (^A, ^E, ^K, ^U, ^L). I would use vim-bindings in the shell, but I haven't found a good way to indicate my current mode, so I get confused & don't like it.

The natural motion for removing any VR headset is to lift it off your face and then hold it via the head strap which points the display directly upwards. Also, when placing the headset down for charging it's also natural to hang it up on a hook of some sort (via the head strap) which also has the side effect of pointing the lenses upwards. If someone does this near a window the sun can destroy it in no time.
Fourth quarter of 2021 they had positive free cash flow. In other words, they're not really bleeding money any more.
Seems you’ve applied values of your own. I didn’t frame one as selfish and the other as altruistic. I framed one as spreading wealth and one as consolidating it. I gave “selfish” examples for both.

If you care about preserving wealth with elites that is right wing… whatever weird political label you give it.

If you care about distributing it to non elites that is left wing.

Stalinists are not “left” they were about wealth and power consolidation.

This is why right and left are useful measures because it sees passes all the bullshit names/political measures and provides a simple scale: are you redistributing wealth (left)? Are you consolidating wealth (right)? Are you doing something in between (centrist)
Indeed, not The Onion. This was, for some, a selling point of Brexit. They're quite proud of it.

The US gets away with Imperial units because we're so isolated, and big enough that people make parts just for us. I can't imagine how the UK believes that they can achieve this, standing right on top of Europe.

But I guess they were willing to put up with the expense and friction of maintaining their own currency. Might as well just throw this on the pile of "sovereignty".
No, this is absolutely refusing service based on a protected characteristic. The service is "designing a wedding website", and the policy is "we won't do that for gay couples".

There's an alternate scenario, of course. Soon: "web designers across the nation refuse to make wedding websites for same-sex couples". Religious freedom up, social discord also up. I'm not sure why you think it's only a one-way street; allowing religion to be used as a pretext to discriminate against marginalized groups is also surefire way to divide people.

It seems like we're rapidly approaching a point at which further debate is fruitless, so let me clearly state my position here: where religious freedom and equal protection clash, I am staunchly in favor of subordinating the former to the latter.
> Systems were simpler, side-effects were better understood and contained.

But debugability was far harder, you could not do it remotely, and there was no stackoverflow etcetera to help you.

Example: Installed in another country is an embedded controller talking RS232 to devices. The controller is resetting, probably due to a watchdog timeout. The controller software uses a custom RTOS, with no spare hardware timers and it is hard to get logs back, which restricted in size to some kilobytes. You make educated guesses as to what is happening, but are failing. Many weeks of work later, you design your own process profiling technique using a hardware logic analyser and from that you find the root cause. Easily over a man-month of work.
I see the value in it as a speculative asset: if you think that the company will pay significant dividends in the future (or you expect that others will value it in the future for that or other reasons), then it makes sense as an investment.

That being said, I think there's a healthy ratio between speculative and dividend-yielding investments, and the market (especially the tech market) is nowhere near that healthy ratio.
With C# and .NET, you also need to consider the different kinds of pointers involved. The thing that's closest to Go's pointers would be managed references (which don't have pointer arithmetic but are GC-aware). In C#, this corresponds to in/ref/out parameters, locals, and return types. Now, the difference is that those can point directly to the stack, and thus cannot escape the function in which they were created for memory safety reasons. But conversely, they are allowed in safe code.

And then there's stuff like Span, which these days lets you do something similar to Go slices:

Span<byte> p = stackalloc byte[n];

(note that this is also safe code!)

As for green threads, I think in case of Go they can't really be considered a library thing due to language integration of goroutines and channels. It's also not quite the same as C# async/await, because the latter isn't really a threading system so much so as syntactic sugar for CPS; it's entirely possible to have a single thread running the event loop.
And likewise, if Elon Musk wanted to make a Twitter clone with better free speech he could get a lot of users. What's your point, that's literally the opposite of low barrier to entry. Being Elon Musk is NOT a low barrier to entry. Anything you say can be re-framed to the web, so if your point is valid then how can websites like Twitter be so valueable?
If the airtag is even somewhat well hidden, they would probably just dump the car instead of spending hours looking for it. $30 is a pretty cheap extra deterrent.

Apparently the space telescopes have liquid helium cooling, and there are .1 Kelvin pools in space for astronomical detectors.

I guess you can use pools of onboard liquid as heat sinks if the radiative surface is insufficient at peak, and then radiate the rest from the heat sink pool when it is, say, behind the earth or not working as hard.

It doesn't matter if it's better for the users if it is not sustainable. That's how you go out of business, which is no good for anyone.
It doesn't suggest using integers. It suggests resetting your time uniform every 1000, 10000, 100000... etc. In values of ten raised to some (integer) power. The sole reason for picking a number like that is because programmers will tend to use constants like 32.768 instead of some fractional value. If you use 32.768 and reset your time uniform at 1000, the functions used with 32.768 will still loop seamlessly.

Double precision operations are much slower on GPUs. This can get very bad indeed for certain optimizations, like LUTs. 32 bit integers can accumulate much more time delta than floats without precision errors, but have similar problems.

You can pass in an integer and convert it to a float, but that doesn't really solve any problems. The accumulated time is being used in functions that noticeably change over a dozen milliseconds. The total accumulation is simply too large to for floats to represent with that precision; you would also need to convert most of the math surrounding the time uniform.

It is a much better solution to limit the time uniform. The periodic functions depending on it are sensitive to millisecond changes and loop every 100-10000 milliseconds; there's no reason for time to ever be much larger than 10000.
