+1; exactly my case. I have a handful of Ubiquiti APs and the network is now rock solid, so my plan is to wait until WiFi6 becomes mainstream (or they mess up with updates) - and then I'm gone forever.

After they bungled reporting the hacks last year, I promised to never purchase anything from Ubiquiti again. Good to know Aruba may be an option.
Evolution offers the most likely origin of life since it is simpler than all others that I've heard.
> Keep in mind that this is just speculation and opinions. These predictions depict the future I personally feel is most likely.

Not sure whose bubble you are bursting because the article is clear that it isn't meant to be an authoritative prediction. In that context, what you are saying is that:

a.) this person is too young to even be speculating about this, despite clearly being informed on the subject if you read the article.

b.) their ideas are so laughable that they are more likely an April Fool's joke.

Context is important and this just seemed like a rude, patronizing comment to make honestly.
There are many aspects how biology can make "better" humans - faster, stronger, more resilient, etc, but they are not evolutionary useful because they cost extra calories and apparently are not worth the cost in a calorie restricted environment. Our bodies have been optimized to have as little of the "good stuff" as possible to conserve calories. We have mechanisms that will prevent building more muscle unless it's really necessary (as shown by exercise) and we have spare food - but it does not have to be this way, e.g. gorillas don't have to exercise to develop their huge muscles, it's just as our bodies (unlike theirs) is heavily optimized in favor of "cheaping out on features" to be more resistant to starvation.

IMHO that also fully 'explains away' the issue of "why aren't we already more intelligent". Brains are excessive consumers of energy compared to other organs, so extra brain mass costs calories. At a certain point (which seems to be our current brains) being a bit smarter does not allow a hunter-gatherer to harvest much more calories per day in the seasons/crisis events where food sources are scarce (which are the only times that matter for evolution), so the brain increase stops there, just to save calories. Improvements that are 'zero cost' (i.e. brain structure changes which give more intelligence for the same calorie expenditure) are welcome, but the trivial way of getting more 'processing power' through larger brains is aggressively selected against.

And all this calorie saving apparently was worthwhile - e.g. neanderthals were stronger and had larger brains than homo sapiens , but we were a bit more efficient, so we are here and they are not.

The federal reserve themselves disagree with you [1].

Also note [2]:

"In 1913, this problem was addressed by the creation of the Federal Reserve System (Fed).33 The
Fed was to remedy the situation in a two ways. First, it would provide a means by which banks
could borrow in times of stringency to satisfy their customers’ demand for cash. Second, it could
create a new form of money, Federal Reserve notes, which could be expanded or contracted in
quantity to respond to the need for more cash."

"The creation of the Federal Reserve had little if any effect on the gold standard. The dollar was
still defined in terms of gold. Federal Reserve notes were redeemable in lawful money. The Fed
not only operated under the gold standard, but was charged with maintaining it, and kept a
percentage of gold cover for its notes. Gold still dictated the value of the dollar. "

It costs even more, because they force you to sign up for their cloud service to get its signature advertised features, like handwriting recognition.

$400, and then another $80 for the "marker", which does not have replaceable tips like every other company that makes a pen-tablet device. Apple, Wacom, Samsung, etc.

So the opex is about $100/year, plus however often you need to replace the 'pen'. That's hitting $800 TCO for three years.

Or you can buy a previous generation iPad Air and Apple Pencil and get a device that is far more capable, has replacement tips, a stylus that supports pressure and angle, etc.

It baffles me that people start frothing at the mouth about Apple "forcing" people to use iCloud when damn near nothing on the device requires a paid iCloud account and there's pretty decent integration with open standards based systems...

Fair. But even a non-trivial amount dying from forced mating would push evolutionary pressure, right?
There is also the reverse, males can be selecting for traits that make it easier to propagate their genes... that's how I read the result. The more 'endowed'/aggressive the male is, the more complex the vagina becomes to retain some preference in gene retention.

>I’m also acknowledging that an individual can influence that when many individuals are doing the same thing

The individual can't influence anything on evolutionary scales

EDIT:

"Retaining preference" is an incredible mischaracterization and an artifact of my not being a biologist. What I'm sure is actually happening is aggression /'mating through endowment alone' is detrimental to the well being of the female, which is detrimental to the well being of the offspring. What is interesting though is that instead of such offspring dying and aggression/endowment being selected against, these traits stay around long enough for there to be some evolutionary pressure for females to adapt around. I guess this kind of makes sense since aggression and physical size are advantageous in fights and whatnot, so there is a selection process going on independent from the mating process of that species

I love the concept of Supabase, I only worry about performance in this case. Almost all API calls in my applications execute some SQL to gather data from the database. Having the edge function execute several select queries on the database on the other side of the world is a few times slower than having the API server near the database. Basically, the distance between API and database is much more important than the distance between user and API. I guess the only solution is to have read-copies of the database on the edge as well..?
Oh, is there a bug for Krita to follow about it?

I think color management in general is a big WIP for Wayland.

In the absence of any concrete scientific evidence for a lab leak (and an enormous amount of real, arguably dispositive, evidence against it), I see this doubling-down of articles attacking the character of anyone peripherally involved in work on coronaviruses. There's nothing at all new here.

A lot of people weren't even on this site back then... but this is exactly like watching the "ClimateGate" scandal play out here on HN over a decade ago, and in fact even involves some of the key players like Matt Ridley! Now, over a decade later, it turns out some messy dendrochronological paleoclimatology did not in fact represent a conspiracy invalidating the entirety of climate research and global warming is an even clearer threat.

In another decade we're going to have a much better understanding of horseshoe bats, asian animal markets, and coronavirus evolution... and not a single one of the breathless accusers involved in these screeds will ever apologize for flogging conspiracy.

Yeah, science is messy, scientists are flawed humans, desperate for money and generally terrified of bad PR and the mob. But the entirety of viral reverse genetics can't be thrown into an ill-defined "GOF" bucket. What constitutes acceptable risk and GOF in these areas has been an active debate in virology for as long as I can remember, and the quality of this dialogue is not going to be aided by this circus.

It’s not really intellectual, it’s a sort of bike shed accounting process where we argue about what is more virtuous.

Most of us have a sense of family, community, humanity or other identity. Your personal feeling on these matters ultimately drive charity. Personally, my family does alot of charity and volunteering, and we generally do so for local organizations in our city that help those less fortunate. In my mind, it’s important to build up the community that we live in.

A “human charity accountant” will point out that our labor and treasure would better benefit a child in Bolivia or a sick person in the Congo. Those are fine causes and we all find our path to what matters most to us.

Cool! I always assumed the Linux driver was maintained as a best effort side project by Wacom engineer(s), not as an official endeavor.

Overall, Wacom tablets work fairly well under Linux and have for quite some time. There are some caveats with what events the devices report vs what apps expect, but I think that’s smoothed out in the modern world of XI2, the wayland tablet api, and libinput.

I’m not a passionate user of graphics tablets, but in my experience, Wacom tablets work better on Linux than Windows (and similarly good to macOS) partly because on Windows, they predate Windows having an input stack that can support pressure-sensitive graphics tablet pens. That arrived in Windows 8. Wacom had instead implemented a sort of defacto standard called Wintab, which they seemingly standardized with a company called LCS/Telegraphics in the Win 3.x days. In the modern invocation of this, the tablet kernel driver appears to act as a relay for hardware events, but those events get pumped back to a usermode service, and then wintab32 clients get them pumped into their event loops. Modern Windows has WM_POINTER* events, but it seems this usermode service is needed even for those events to work, probably so that wintab and WM_POINTER events can remain consistent, sync with control panel, and not fire over eachother. Still, it’s a shame.

In the modern world, if you happen to have a USB tablet that speaks the HID digitizer API, Linux should be able to give you fairly good support straight out of the box, usually only lacking support for rebinding keys easily, controlling LEDs, etc. More tablet manufacturers have been choosing hardware that can support the HID digitizer class as it’s probably the only way to get graphics tablet support for Android devices. I found this to be the case with an XP-Pen device that I bought with intent to try writing a driver, only to find it spoke perfectly good standard USB, produced events in evdev, and plumbed through to Krita absolutely fine. To be sure, not all XP-Pen tablets will work this way, but some will. I’d guess ones that advertise Android support are likely to.

> The individual can't influence anything on evolutionary scales

Correct, unless many individuals from the whole generation are doing it. like I said.

If the whole generation is selecting one way, then they are influencing the next generation greatly reducing the randomness of the outcome

I will concede that I did consider the male influence, but opted to focus on the females because the article said the females can reject unwanted advances, and that only 2-5% of unwanted advances are successful (although would want to see that peer reviewed, something like that was comically said by US Senators only a few years back about humans, but with ducks? I don't know!), in any case this article is saying that the other 95-98% are the ones are selected for by the females. Who then have to fend off big dick energy in future seasons (sexual maturity being 4-5 months in duck world).
The gofundme is a short term solution to a short term problem. The assumption that the person is going to transition from "I need help right now" to "I'm in a little bit of trouble" to "I can contribute to society"

Jokes aside, it's in a really good place. With everything being web based now, Flatpak being a defacto "can run anywhere" target for proprietary apps, community based wrappers for most of said apps which don't have official builds, Distro's like *buntu[0] and Fedora which are easy to install/use, Valve pushing Proton, and Windows pushing away enthusiasts, it could actually happen.

Even better would be a company selling chromebook-grade hardware with one of the above mentioned distro's preinstalled in physical stores. I wish System76 would be able to do that, but I think it's a way's out from being feasible still.
