Witcher 3 has a robust quest system, an in game encyclopedia, and a lot of great use of narrative and dialog options to remind the player where they are in the trilogy of games storywise.

It's something than can be improved with practice. I can now read a few dozen books at a time and have no trouble keeping them straight, and I'm sure I've benefitted from that in other ways in my day to day life. Remember that humans relied on oral tradition for hundreds of thousands of years. Give yourself some credit!
Connect the TV to the network but block it in the network from internet access. That way, you can still use it to cast stuff to via wifi but you don't have to worry about the ads situation.
They can make sheets large enough for TVs and both TVs and phones do come with high enough pixel counts for monitors. You don't need phone pixel densities on their monitor but TV pixel densities might be too low.
Even worse than the flocks (gaggles?) of skiers who stop for a chat in the middle of a run are those who repeatedly stop wherever they feel like on the moguls, often after just a few turns. Put a few groups like that on a mogul run and it is ruined for pretty much anyone on a board (and good skiers too).

Boarding moguls requires keeping momentum - the time you are most likely to wipe is when going too slow or having to change lines abruptly because the person downhill decided to poop out four bumps ahead of you.

Falling down is one thing but intentionally stopping anywhere other than the sides or directly behind a slow ski net is a really bad thing to do, regardless of how many planks you use. Don't do it.

I'm also in favor of indicating by hand your intentions when there are multiple avenues available (such as turning into a mid-mountain lift instead of continuing downhill) to avoid potential collisions. Just because downhill has the right of way doesn't mean you will get it!
To punish Russia (or its leadership). If US LNG was cheaper, Europe would just be saying “Stop doing the things we don’t like or we’ll change supplier, but that’s in our own best interest so we are likely to do anyway regardless”.
These are actual issues recognised by the Flutter team themselves - you can't really hand wave them away as being standard iOS issues.
> Even had instance of waking up chocking, which was again due to a short loud thud noise disturbance by another flat.

Do you mean choking, as in gasping for air? This is a sign of potential obstructive sleep apnea, and it feels that solving the external issues is a (complicated) bandaid for something you might want to have a doctor check through a sleep study. (If you haven’t done so already.)

If you had more deep sleep, all these noises wouldn't be bothering you so much. IANAD, etc.
I've considered doing this but I think it would only be feasible as an enterprise offering. The costs of continuously making API calls to start machines, test network performance etc would be quite high.
Yeah, that's fair. I guess TPMs aren't really suitable for that use case, only for deleting a lot of data at once.

I'm happy to see them cite my Rope Science series. Looking back, there were some things that xi did wrong, most importantly separating the front-end from the back-end with async communication, but the data structures and text manipulation algorithms were solid.

I'm considering starting a new, similar, series called "The Book of Monoids," which covers some of the same ground but with more of a focus on parallelism (GPU) than incremental computation.

Anyone have thoughts on how this all pans out?

I think that the only way out is that Ukraine cuts off its arm to save the head. It acknowledges the territories as lost, and consolidates what it has left. But I'm not sure how they do that without:

1. The current leader losing legitimacy, and likely resigning.

2. Opening the door for other parts of Ukraine to split off.

3. Opening the door to Russia to meddle in other parts of Ukraine/other nearby states to encourage them to split off.

I don't see Russia backing off in the near future; they've held onto Crimea for the last 8 years without blinking.

I don't see NATO involving itself militarily. If a US soldier dies defending Ukraine, I think that enough people will ask "why are we shedding American blood for something that has nothing to do with us?"

I don't know that economic sanctions will be enough. We've been doing that for years, and nothing's changed.

I don't know that providing weapons to Ukraine will be enough. While the Russians may lose soldiers in the coming months, I've heard that a lot of soldiers come from isolated parts of society (and so the people who mourn them aren't going to be able to organize political resistance).
Thanks, but dang could do a search and replace if that ever occurred?
Everyone knows that it's very damaging to naked bodies until you're at least 18 years old. Nudity is something we strive to hide as much as possible for this very reason. Who's naked in real life anyways? Only TV/media shows fiction like that.

> It’s interesting to think about why the proposals for English failed

I think one reason is that phonetic spellings wouldn't work with some regional dialects. Consider 'bath' - many southern English people pronounce it as if it had an 'r'.
Gut wrenching story! The overemphasis on NDAs these days is concerning, particularly in instances like yours where someone is clearly looking to claim ownership of an idea without the desire to put any effort towards developing it. The more successful people I know tend to be the types of people who enjoy building and sharing things rather than guarding their ideas. I love John List's interview on Tim Ferriss (Chief Economist at Lyft & ex-Uber), in which he discusses how important it has been to publish his findings for the sake of science as opposed to guarding them as trade secrets. Glad you were able to move on from that without any litigation. Although, I should mention that your ex co-founder could claim that you guys had a "de facto partnership" despite you not having signed any type of co-founder agreement or having formed a legal entity.

IMO, buildings that are effectively Faraday cages to cell frequencies should be considered unsafe for human occupancy unless they have emergency phones every 8 feet along every wall, and an automatic backup generator unless all of the phones have copper wires all the way to the phone company.
That's like the most boring and long duration solution you could possibly engage with. While it'll solve the problem for others too, to reach that stage will take months, possibly years, not to talk about the amount of money it'll cost.
U.S. to be world's biggest LNG exporter in 2022 [0]

“Approval of additional LNG exports from Freeport LNG furthers this Administration’s commitment to promoting American energy, American jobs, and the American economy. Further, increased supplies of U.S. natural gas on the world market are critical to advancing clean energy and the energy security of our allies around the globe. … for molecules of U.S. freedom to be exported to the world” [1].

"The Iron Curtain of the 1940s and ‘50s was ostensibly designed to isolate Russia from Western Europe – to keep out Communist ideology and military penetration. Today’s sanctions regime is aimed inward, to prevent America’s NATO and other Western allies from opening up more trade and investment with Russia and China. The aim is not so much to isolate Russia and China as to hold these allies firmly within America’s own economic orbit." [2]

Have you been in Bucharest? Skylines are not everything. What about slums and general infrastructure? I find it hard to believe that Nairobi is comparable to Bucharest.

Even cursory glance on economies reveals that Bucharest has almost 4 times larger GDP per capita compared to Nairobi, cca 20k EUR to 6k EUR in Nairobi.

To be honest I think that Nairobi has a higher ceiling than Bucharest because of its region, Bucharest is maybe not even the most developed city in Romania, let alone a larger region.
I don’t think the parent was suggesting that companies stay remote _because_ the employees don’t need interaction.

(IMO companies stay this way because it’s simply cheaper and the hiring pool is bigger, but that’s not important in this discussion)

It just happens to benefit those whose prefer to stay at home.
You can go to your settings, to the list of apps, and tap Disable.

That will also stop the updates, and it gives you an option to uninstall all updates when you disable it.

Also, since those apps are usually on the system partition, if you did have a way of removing them that space still isn't as useful as the rest of the space on your phone (not read/write except when updating/installing).
What’s odd is that we have back-end services that send messages to Slack and those seem to be working absolutely fine.

How can it be Ironic? It exactly matches the relationships in the first couple years of the second world war: Germany and Russia had the Molotov-Ribbentroff Pact, and the parts of Germany and the Soviet Union that used to be a country called Poland Just Had To Put Up With It.

> If you extrapolate our findings from the military study to a private sector context where 1,000 hires are going to be made, using well-being as a hiring criterion should lead to about 11 more exceptional performers than if the company simply hired personnel without considering well-being at all.

And if you extrapolate further, the rest of companies will end up with sad employees , with high turn over, 10x lower productivity thus lower pay and less happy. In fact this will be the common type of company to work for as the happy-employee companies will have very low turn over and won’t be looking for new hires as much.
I have an LG OLED TV. I didn't connect it to my Wifi. Works perfectly and has never nagged me to connect and update.
The only thing Samsung I’ll buy is their storage because really you don’t have much choice. If you buy from another company there’s a chance it’s using Samsung memory anyways.

I’ve tried giving them second chances after they turned me off after the first set of tv spying the did. They opening lied about it saying they don’t inject ads or tracking or monitor what you watch. This was back when they put ads into content people watched on Plex.

Unfortunately LG is going the same way too.
The word is systemic racism. Because it's only "acceptable/approved/sanctioned" within some systemic power hierarchy. (If power differentials were not directly involved, one would rather define it as systemic prejudice and a factor behind systemic discrimination, which despite appearances is in fact a very strong claim as well. Much stronger than claims of 'racism' in an individual sense.)

Didn't know about that model - wasn't on the telecom websites, but it is apparently available in Canada for $576, which is much better (only the price of my last ~2 phones). The cheapest phone I saw and compared with above was an iPhone 13 mini, at $976.

This is absolutely relevant, turing's original definition described a completely autonomous and automatic machine, that's why every turing machine has a halting state that locks it in a loop when computation is finished.

>could be analogous to powering the turing machine, or turning some crank for Babbage's

Those things are done once for those machines, you press power-on or turn a crank for just one time and the machine starts, this is not the case here, here the human is acting as the control logic for the machine, repeatedly pulsing to drive the computation.

Your computer is not a computer without a hardware clock, the repeated pressing of a button is acting as a hardware clock here.
I think you'd find it much harder to block RF signals than you would expect. As Matt Blaze found[1], creating even a small effective faraday cage can be quite difficult, and I imagine the problems only compound as you scale up.

> This employs a directory used for temporary writes to unique filenames, followed by a move into place in a 'real' directory, where files should be accessible once write is deemed to be complete.

This still seems like it makes the assumption that the move will complete. Or is 'mv' significantly different from the full write?

First, there are the various "black" markets. There was no appreciable change in availability, quality, or price before and after pot legalization, for example.

The high end of most services and products doesn't need to market, they're "saturated" by word-of-mouth alone. For example, I met a guy once who was part of a very high-end IT consultancy. They had A-list customers, all the work they could handle, and their website was a single line of text that basically said, "You have a problem? Email us". In other words, most markets have a subset of "quiet" companies that thrive on word-of-mouth alone.
I have always found recognition to be naturally humbling and have always thought the opposite to be a character flaw.
I can't think of a single worse signal jamming activity than interfering with civilian aircraft frequencies. No, it won't make a plane drop out of the sky immediately, but imagine an extremely busy airport like Heathrow without access to ATC. Then imagine one of those planes has an emergency. It means that ground crews won't be ready. It means that runways might not be cleared. Weather conditions might not be conveyed. So much can go wrong so quickly. Communications authorities are right to apply heavy penalties for signal jamming.

The harm involved in taking cell based internet offline from 12 to 3am is probably provably negative (e.g. actually positive).

OMG no. Please - every beginner out there - learn to fall properly before putting on a board. If you are going for instruction, they should be teaching you this as well and if they do not, pipe up and ask.

DO NOT put your arms out to break your fall. It is a good way to instead break a wrist. If you catch a toe edge, belly flop/dive. If you catch your toe edge, roll on your shoulders/upper back (try to tuck your head in a little too). It is a good idea too to disengage the edge and then gently re-engage as you are sliding to slow and stop.

> Governments will respond to economic factors that diminish purchasing power in order to maintain the effectiveness of UBI, as a part of UBI.

How? Using which political, economic, and financial tools? And what will be the side effects of those policies? That's exactly the point I was making: UBI proponents assume a downright utopian best-case scenario where everything works as planned (even though those plans are vague at best, and wishful fantasies at worst), and politicians and voters behave perfectly rational.
Generally agree.

The part that I find interesting to think about is the relationship between the areas. We require intensive farming to sustain the current lifestyle of people, yet most are very disconnected from the source of their food. If we grew more food locally (impractical given the current setup) then people would witness the impacts of intensive agriculture. This might also help constrain population levels closer to sustainable numbers because people see how finite the resources are.

I've seen a variety of estimates of how many people the world can support. But I haven't seen any that estimate how many the world can sustainably support. If we aren't thinking longterm, then we're just trudging towards bigger problems with many of the smaller ones we solve. For example, use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer from non-renewable sources, or biosecurity threats from fast international travel and trade, or overfishing, etc. Pretty much all due to demand for food and the modern lifestyle.
He was negligent with a dangerous technology. The device is illegal to operate and sell, for obvious pro-society reasons. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, because then anyone can feign ignorance, making all laws contingent on one's ability to pass as ignorant. Or the laws become contingent on how likely prosecutors, judges, and juries are willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to the defendant, and people have all kinds of conscious and unconscious biases about who "seems trustworthy."

I have an LG OLED TV and I use pi-hole to block all of the creepy ad-tech that's built into to. Whenever I want to check if there are updates to anything on the TV, I disable the pi-hole for 5 mins and manually check for updates.

"This research may in the future lead to new ways humans can help each other remove surreptitiously placed Apple AirTags."
yes - What happens is that most people fall asleep during the steepest drop toward circadian temperature minimum. Our core temp drops toward sleep onset, and with it cortisol, and melatonin spikes as well. Warming your skin helps promote bloodflow and expels heat, thereby lowering your core temperature (more efficiently if ambient air is cool enough). We tend to lose most heat in our extremities, like the head, hands and feet. This is why pre-warming feet can reduce onset latency.

If you've shifted your circadian rhythm, your core temperature falls later. What may happen then is you'll get hotter in bed as you're expelling more heat in it, and if the material is not particularly breathable it won't be as easy for you to cool down. Anyway, avoiding a shift and keeping a robust circadian rhythm really helps with onset and overall sleep quality. To this end, a consistent waking time, limited total time in bed, and sufficient exposure to sunlight after waking helps.
