Can machines for extracting CO2 from the atmosphere have how hard they are running be ramped up and down quickly? Or do they just have a rate they work at, where changing how much one is doing would require changing how much machine there is / which ones are active ?
iTunes Match still exists.

I use that with Apple Music.

It’s still only $25 per year.

All my obscure old hip hop cds nicely looked after by Apple and available to stream or download anywhere.
To say that it is the pinnacle of design is a wide stretch give what they did to menus in all the apps. Obscure buttons and burger menus replaced menus..
Who is this assclown?

"The really big news came this week with the Russian missile strikes on what are de facto NATO bases in Yavoriv and Zhytomyr. NATO conducted cyber security training at Zhytomyr in September 2018 and described Ukraine as a “NATO partner.” Zhytomyr was destroyed with hypersonic missiles on Saturday. Yavoriv suffered a similar fate last Sunday."

This is the easiest giveaway that this is a Russian propaganda shill. Legend about hypersonic missiles is just what it is - a legend. These are air to ground ballistic missiles that by definition are hypersonic. They are as much as hypersonic weapons as any ballistic missile. Also that munition depot that was claimed to be destroyed was in East-Ukraine and based on the size of the explosion, it was empty.
Anyone confirm the identity of the article author or find the original article? I couldn't find any confirmation of this story's slant on the arrests.
JavaFX is your answer. Download the latest JDK, use Gradle or Maven as your build tool, make sure you properly use modules and you're golden. No need to ship JREs (that concept doesn't exist any more). Furthermore, you can create .exe and .app and move on.

It's kinda lame that creating a desktop app has never been easier, yet everything has moved to the cloud.
Good insight! Let me zoom all the way out on the abstraction scale of what you said, and let me know if it makes sense.

There are some segments of the music industry that are specialized, and capital-intensive or labor-intensive (merchandising, physical distribution, producing/mixing/mastering, studio access).

The specialized segments would presumably not be able to exist or sustainably operate without a steady/predictable source of cash flow.

The big labels are market makers, connecting talent to these specialized services, and taking a cut off the top of every D2C transaction, in the form of a special variety of IP-licensing.

This results in a bimodal distribution of musician outcomes. If you're accepted by a big label, you fit into modality B, which is shifted far to the right. If you're indie, you fit into modality A, which is shifted fart to the left.

If you stick it out in A, you keep a higher percentage of lower expected earnings. If you shift into B, you keep a lower percentage of higher expected earnings, and gain difficult-to-price assets in the shapes of fame, connections, and responsibilities.

If this abstraction holds, it's kind of analogous to the differences between an indie hacker and a VC-funded startup founder? cool food for thought.
I have a Fujifilm XPro3. My favorite camera of all time. But I would trade it in for a camera with equivalent specs that runs a proper operating system and supports app development.

Cameras are so far behind smartphones in terms of their software that it has become embarrassing. Paying $2000+ for a camera, only to find out your smartphone does a better job of autofocusing and handling noise is just annoying.
requiring registering with clinicaltrials.gov and regulators doing their own analysis on all the data.

Managed entry agreements and conditional reimbursement (dont pay for patients that dont do better than the average of current practice)

Requirements for "real world data" collection and submission post approval.

A whole host of other mechanisms I cant remember off the top of my head.

Also

"evidence based medicine" doesnt mean the evidence is infallible (e.g. rare disease meds have a huge issue with collecting any meaningful data) - it just means actually using evidence rather than just taking the industries and acedemias word for it that it works like the old days.
For a cloud related settings page. You could as well call it "connects to iCloud via RESTful api"
Obligatory qualification: "In mice!"
I think they permanently got rid of the ability for the camera to run the tiny third party plugin / app things though - I forget what they called them
Exactly right - Tailwind's constraints are what differentiate it from just inline styling. I've only glanced at this landing page but from what I see, I don't understand the value proposition.
Inherently, good design requires top down authority to force a consistent look, and implementing it requires a bunch of programmers to spend time on boring work. That just doesn't work well in open source where people only want to work on their own thing, sometimes, and in their own way.
Great question, DJ's mix songs and this person mixed 'every possible 12 note melody combination' they could generate with code.

This SDK only works on the top end Fuji's, the cheapest one supported starts at £850 (body only)

Fuji has famously terrible app support, its a nightmare to set up and cuts out constantly, transferring images over wifi is slow and unreliable to the point of it being useless, the remote shutter is unreliable and doesnt have any of the extremely simple to program features that intervalometer's have. You can't shoot tethered unless you have one of the above very expensive cameras.

The whole software ecosystem around cameras is awful, I would love to see some open source community initiatives to be able to control these cameras and extend their functionality but I haven't seen much of that in the photography community.
Well, that's precisely the crux of the matter. When I go to conferences, I also only get a measly ballpen with a notebook if I'm lucky. Corporate financing is mostly targeting established researchers who, crucially, hold influence over their peers. It's just like YouTube influencers. So the question is not what we get at the conference, but what arrangements are made for the funding of future projects for those researchers. And conferences are great locations for interfacing well-known researchers with industry representatives. That also happens elsewhere, of course.
Not only that, but it incentivizes hiring discrimination based on family status. Are you going to hire the 19 year-old college kid or the 24 year-old single mother of 2? Guess who's more likely to qualify for AFDC?
> No, I'm not an x-ray operator, but I work in health care and have good knowledge of what it costs to run a hospital in America.

That's the key word. "In America," and nowhere else on the face of the entire earth. You are one component of a criminally corrupt system. By being a component, you are shielded from full responsibility. It's like being a shareholder of a corrupt company. Same thing.

>if you haven't done that, I'm not sure you have the experience to say how much an x-ray should cost.

>I am not arguing that $69K is a reasonable expense for a routine x-ray.

Don't try to change the topic. You were saying that I am not justified to know how much an x-ray should cost. I'm saying I am justified, and that YOU are the beneficiary of said high costs and THEREFORE YOU are actually unqualified to justify ANYTHING related to this.

Let's say the cost is 5k. It's still a criminal rip off. Also who is making up that BS number 69k? Which industry is making up that number and for what insidious purpose? I'll tell you the answer. Your industry: The American medical industry. You.

Don't come on this site and tell me I'm not justified in saying something is a complete rip off when you're part of the industry taking advantage of peoples lives.
> It may be understood by the recipients that they need to cut costs wherever possible.

Except executive compensation, I suppose.

It's also not an isolated event, just another moment in a trend of big corporate entities pushing wages in only one direction, down. No matter how you word it, it's starting to look a lot like: "We need to lower wages because no one can afford anything anymore because no one is paying high enough wages".
Because you increase taxes to offset it so no net new money is added to the system. Everyone gets ubi but only some people get new taxes.
When i was ray tracing 15+ years ago it occurred to me that lights belong in an acceleration structure similar to geometry. It made querying lights that may be relevant for a given x,y,z point in the scene fast and easy. This article covers a bit more that just that, but the concept is similar.
I wonder, is clubhouse still full of hustling huckster shills all competing for attention?

Well what made Spotify possible was the giant investments done by apple and google in the modern smartphone. I don't want to pay more for a new phone.
Well, the point (I think?) of researching causation is so that you can make use of it. If I know that doing X makes me healthier, that's valuable for my decision of whether to do X; if doing X is merely associated with being healthier, but causation is not established (and in fact it's possible for doing X to harm you while still being associated with better health—consider "any harmful activity that young healthy people like to do and old people don't do"), then that's not useful for me.

I dunno, I guess you could be interested in learning to classify people. If they do X, then that increases your estimate of their current healthiness regardless of the underlying causation. If you're an insurance company, an actuary, etc., then maybe that's all you need to know.
>> the ghost of NAN past will visit you, just be careful.

LOL, solid advice. Early openGl only allowed 8 lights in a lighting pass. So if you had a bunch of lights, you'd have to find the closest ones and just use those. One technique I liked was the index deferred lights, which at the time could run on older hardware that didn't have use of floating point buffers:

This is like an episode of Archer. But explains why Russia hasnt won yet.
Awesome, impactful concept, this can be huge! Now comes the challenge of scaling
Sure kinda, but I'd say that's a new industry rather than an opening of the old one. It's kinda like saying tiktok replaced concerts and singles for musicians, kinda true but not what the parent guy is saying. Tiktok enhances the path to getting success on the traditional platforms rather than simply replacing it. That's not generally been the case for youtubers, though a strong argument could be made for podcast i think.
I'm not sure if that's good or bad. "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about" comes to mind. Retirement, like middle school, sounds like it will likely be very low-stakes (you're not significantly driving the overall course of your life) so for many people, socializing and jockeying for position might be all there is.

Sounds better than living in a neighborhood or building where you no longer know anyone.
I look forward to hieroglyphic CLI interfaces, where we compute like it's 2600 BC.
I don't benefit from you being ripped off. In fact, my entire career has been dedicated to identifying unnecessary medical costs, and eliminating them. It's an uphill battle.
The other nice thing about "the nice GTK button" is that it feels consistent enough with the current tab buttons styling in Firefox: https://imgur.com/a/OEKc4So . It also just feels better for direct manipulation (touch).

Is there any way to vote for keeping it? Does 'high contrast' mode possibly bring it back?

Any community turns into an echo chamber given enough time and algorithms. I sometimes refer to this website as "orange reddit" for exactly that reason; the distinction between the two is much smaller than you'd hope.

Try to read any comment section on here about Google, Apple, Bitcoin, Tesla, you name it, there's a common opinion that gets repeated and pushed to the top. That's just what happens when you give people a comment form and an upvote button.
I mentioned this in a different comment, but this assumes the uniform distribution of inflation, which isn't how it works.

Different segments of the economy can function as shock absorbers that bear the brunt of inflation, while other segments of the economy see their prices rise more slowly then the increase of wages.

Different sectors of the economy face different degrees of surplus and strain, and the relations between those structures are always up for renegotiation as new money enters the system.
This resonates so much with me .. especially the On/Off buttons where designers show off how cool and smooth they can make them look, usability be damned. Dark patterns especially around opt-ins uses these type of controls very well putting a lit of mental load on us to opt-out.
Note that each state has exactly two exits: (1) Cross the button boundary, and (2) Toggle mousedown status
Well that is utterly tragic :(
AFAIK unless something SSH passwords don't use any kind of PAKE or zero-knowledge. It just straight up sends it to the server after authenticating, as the password box on a website login page would.

Really missed a great opportunity to add perhaps even more security than the server cert can(Because of how many users override it).

Come to think of it, website logins shouldn't exist either, that's way too common and I don't see why there's no PAKE based http basic auth feature.
The contract is under Japanese jurisdiction. Does anyone here know Japanese law in regards to something like this?
Very cool stuff. How far are you along with "SkyRoads"? Monitoring roads with the spatial resolution you would need sounds quite expensive. Though if it is for quotes on a per-request biases or once a year it might be more suitable.

There's so much money in cancer research - when I was a pharmacology/genetics researcher I was told to try to tie everything back to cancer for research papers and grant proposals.

And the oncology lab next door had the best equipment. We always had to borrow their stuff.

Idk maybe this is a good argument against private charity. Not to say that cancer research isn't important but from what I could tell, cancer researchers had an embarrassment of riches.
At a certain level, I'm convinced that sociopathy is a strong factor in the executive world. They don't view the workers as fellow humans, but as a cost center to be minimized. Or rubes to take advantage of. They suppress what little compassion they have and are often rewarded by owners and boards of directors for hitting the financial numbers.

Not all are like this, but it sure seems like a trend. For every Dan Price, there are a thousand Jack Welch clones.
A within-subjects design would remove the influence of individual differences.
Pretty much all the chains are equally bad — I’ve worked for 3. Agreed on the management problems preventing meaningful change though. Nothing will get better until the entire system collapses in my opinion…

I use an iPhone 6s for mobile. It blocks ads in Safari fine, but when I'm browsing Reddit via Narwhal, stuff opens in a webview and the webview doesn't have ad blocking. So the ads make the phone literally unusable for 5 ~ 30 seconds while they load up auto-playing videos, interstitial parallax image ads, etc
It seems like KDE and Plasma is the place where look and feel is constantly but incrementally refined; we've been saved from this flat design trend so far and things keep looking pleasant and modern and being usable. We know they care, and have great attention to details because that's documented weekly [1].

I find the Breeze theme really well done and its GTK port, Brise, is also very nice, to the point Gnome looks good in it.

There was just the KDE 4 era where I didn't like Oxygen at all (and indeed I used to change the theme to Fusion there) but that's over. KDE 3 was fine and KDE 5 is great. At this point, most things that are not Breeze don't look great to me now.

As for the customization and theme support, that's supported and it works well, they prove that it's nothing insurmountable too. KDE comes with themes that look like Windows 95, Motif, Adwaita, GTK 2 and other things and you can download more if you want.

I'd be curious to have a review of Breeze / KDE by Martijn.

Unfortunately doing anything other than 35mm brings a massive jump in price, so I think it's here to stay for a long time. I loved doing medium format/120, but it's absolutely cost prohibitive. Minilabs scanning before it's sliced? Oh hey that's me!

Basically film development has become so expensive that it's more economical for me to either develop (or have developed) the roll and then scan all the pictures to see what they are. Realistically, I have nobody to share prints with, so any photo I want to share has to be digitised anyways. The TIFFs /are/ the prints now.

Film holders make my life pain since alignment becomes a huge problem, however film carriers are good. They're usually some roller assembly that may or may not have a thru-path (in the case of my nikon it can take up to 6 frames before bottoming out). Sprockets are usually counted optically - I've never actually seen something that physically engaged with the sprockets. I've tried using a flatbed but the time spent aligning (during which dust has an opportunity to come to the party) and slowness of the scan means what used to be "1 hour photo" is now more like 3 hours. I explored pacific rim's primefilm options, but swore them off when I discovered 2 scans of the same image would have odd distortions. The stepper motor was vibrating the CCD!

I know a lot of people use Epson flatbeds at the low end for a hobby, but how can you deal with that massive time sink? I've been on the edge about trying to create one of those camera based scanners. I've seen plenty of small trapezoidal scanners that are definitely a smartphone camera pointed at a light box, and I'd actually be fine with this, but they almost always just output pre-baked jpegs to an sdcard for grandma. I've been toying with the idea of recreating one with a raspberry pi & their "pro" camera so that I can have controls over the scanning process. Literally any control at all would be nice.

I still miss my old sony scanner's ability to set a film colour correction profile by reading the barcode on the edge of the negative /and/ set the frame count and filename in a batch from that data.

Hey Ruth Porat and Sundar Pichai:

Can you guess what happened next? I bet Sundar can explain it all with 3 simple words.
Most vouchers are variable based on what the school would get, not a flat amount. Example in Arizona most (>50%) of vouchers are used by disabled children and can top $40000.

Did you know that many schools out source highly disabled kids to specialized school, in essence running their own voucher system?
I don't feel anyone should need to personally "donate" to MDN or feel compelled to out of some sense of moral obligation; or any other reason for that matter. This isn't a donation per-say, but many on here seem to not care one iota about the features but still express a sentiment to want to "donate"..

The major players make nigh uncountable sums of money from "the web". The major browser vendors have pretty much delegated documenting how to develop against the browser platform to MDN. Microsoft explicitly I believe? This entire endeavor should be funded by corp contributions IMHO.

This massive effort to monetize MDN through the "little guy" seems super strange to me. How 'bout some blog posts about how you plan to get Apple, Microsoft, and Google to foot the entire bill for the operation?
I for one don't want the phone form factor to influence my desktop experience. They are two completely different workflows that have conflicting needs IMO.

There is also the Georgian explanation that rent seeking landlords will always increase rent to match any gains in production. Assuming that a landlord will always charge the maximum they can that market will sustain, any increase in production will mean an increase in what the market can pay for housing, and with time, what the landlord can extract from tenants. It neatly explains how cost of living correlates to job opportunities, and how all the productivity gains from technology end up not increasing the general population wealth.
I've been hoping that for 20 years but it hasn't happened yet. It seemed like American companies always favoured GTK/GNOME (I guess because Qt/KDE development was more European?), even though Qt/KDE generally managed to do more with less. But I can appreciate that if you're aiming for the corporate market, customizability may be a downside.
Thanks. Definitely production ready, and I've been using it for quite a while in production myself, towards this release.

About the ORM layer I wouldn't know, since I much prefer to avoid that at any cost.

The problem with buttons that have shadows (even subtle ones) is that you can't rotate the screen 180 degrees and have it look nice. This is a problem if you put your phone or tablet flat on the table and someone sits opposite to you and looks at the same screen.

Better to keep the design flat. It's also simpler.
