As someone who was involved in developing something… let’s say similar… this starts off as something cool, like, voting for American Idle with your remote instead of having to text in, because your panel understands you’re watching American Idle and can support an overlay with the vote choices. Or overlays with history of a syfi show, to enhance the viewing experience. Then when management finds out no one is going to pay a bunch of Bay Area engineer salaries to do that, it slowly becomes something more sinister. Passively recording everything panel owners are viewing, provided it was public TV and could be recognized. Selling metrics as a “better” version of neilsen. And ultimately something like this.
The TV is the one displaying, it obviously needs to decrypt the content.
Are there people who can read text like this and take it seriously? All I can hear is vapid nonsense and grifting bullshit. I don't know whether there is actually substance here or not - all I know is that this makes me want to flip the bozo bit on everyone involved so effectively that I cannot tell whether it was intended that way, or whether this is just some cultural divide in action.
I was on Zoom or Meet most of the time for years before the pandemic. Teams were geographically spread. Clients, vendors could be anywhere. I've never had an official WFH job but I also haven't had a colocated team since maybe 2010. Ironically enough my current company is very localized but I have barely set foot in the office due to pandemic.

A lot of new work on supercritical fluids is the ability of calculate properties for those. normally we don't access to those conditions, so it is tricky to measure, but there is always new work on correlations capable of explaining the anomalies present on near critical and supercritical fluids.

On the viscosity front, there is this new framework named Entropy Scaling, that postulates that scaled viscosity ≈ f(residual entropy)^(2/3).

There is also new work on calculation of interfacial tensions from pure equations of state,that are relevant because you could have a two phase liquid-liquid mix and you want to transport something from one liquid phase to another.
Also, as the article says, over the critical point, there is no surface tension, because there is only one phase. (do not take this phrase literally, because that only happens in a pure compound, as soon as you have a mixture, the surface tension will depend on all elements of the mixture)

Furthermore, some fluid mixtures present something called UCST (upper critical solution temperatures) and LCST (lower critical solution temperatures). imagine if you lower the temperature of and oil-water mixture and suddenly they start to mix. and if you keep lowering the temperature, they unmix again!, and of course, not every fluid presents those properties, but we need to understand those who do. and specially, calculate those points. Few if any industrial thermodynamic calculators can do this, because you require fourth order accurate derivatives (can this be solved with automatic differentiation like what they do with neural networks?, of course, but you need a differentiation-ready equation of state)

On more macro properties, supercritical cycles are useful. you can start from a liquid and end with a gas without boiling, if you pressurize your liquid over the critical pressure (isothermically) then lower the temperature (isobarically) and finally releasing pressure (isothermically). one advantage of doing that is that you don't produce bubbles or any kinetic artifacts that are present during a normal phase transition.
What does "Snake Island" or the "Ghost of Kyiv" have to do with these photos? First being a false claim of casualties, and the second some boasting.

What exactly could easily be a false flag? I'm pretty sure sending Ukrainian soldiers to kill Ukrainian civilians by hundreds would be a PR disaster, if they would even comply.

This is precisely what I do. Plug it in for power, connect receiver and let the receiver handle the rest. Xbox, Nvidia Shield, anything else comes from the receiver. My TV is a display and that’s it.

The menu is annoying (Samsungs) and complains about not being “setup” but it works just fine.

Thought I'd point out it's quite risky to purchase something when you can't change jobs w/o moving. Yeah, in a hot market you might get away with it, but often downturns cause layoffs or other reasons to change job and you can end up eating the house. If you are near retirement or in a job-rich area, go for it if you can. But we've lost money on all houses but the current one over the decades.

I realize doing it this way adds cost, but I’ve never wanted the lackluster experience these cheap Android-based experiences offer.

By "landlordism" do you mean owning a home and renting it out? Would you also include sub-letting and apartments in that prohibition? Or renting out U-haul trucks?

Renting is not a great long-term strategy but can certainly helpful when you're poor, or don't want to shell out $100K to buy a box truck for the weekend.

Barring some massive recession you can expect your down payment to have an ROI like a bond when you sell so you can just assume it to be part of your bond allocation.

If the planning was not poor, then the current situation underlines how poorly the Russian soldiers have been fighting for the last five weeks.

I admire the fortitude of the Ukrainians fighting back against this unprovoked invasion.

The decision to shell to the ground whole towns and cities where many civilians still live display to the world the cowardice of Russian soldiers, who are much better equipped than the Ukrainians.

Russia is a tiger of paper with nuclear claws.

Nobody knows where the front line will be when a treaty is signed - but Russia has lost for a century its rank among the leading nations in the world.

Just another despotic state with a second-class army and an economy surviving through the exportation of natural resources.

I hope that western countries will welcome all the Russian political refugees: they are the elite of this nation and having them working in our economies will be a big plus.

Already 70,000 IT workers have left Russia - and this is only the beginning of this escape from despotism and generalized corruption, a "kleptocracy".
It's all well and good to talk about doing things to Russia to make the Ukraine situation hurt, but there's limits. Nukes, remember, and it's not wise to gamble that all of them won't work.

Thank you so much for posting this
So, let's say you didn't want to buy my cheap TV. Market's full of TVs. Hardly a trouble to pick another brand, eh? I just give the consumer what they want, and what they want is a cheap TV. We show ads, that's why the TV's cheap. Best way we've found to cheapen a TV. Don't want ads? Don't buy the cheap TV. And yet, people buy the cheap TV and complain about the ads. We're not responsible for your choice, we just gave you what you voted for with your wallet.

Leverage in housing means price changes are magnified as a when compared to your downpayment size.

If you put 20% down and the house goes up by 20%, your downpayment investment was doubled. Of course, if it went down by 20%, your downpayment was wiped out.
Why don't they rezone everyone's land as commercial then?

Not sure about California, but in most places that would double or triple the value of the land. If you did everyone all at once, it probably wouldn't be so extreme but would still be an increase.

I am still fixing up the code of a developer from five years ago who was there for two years prior to me. He had ideas about how things should work and completely disagreed with the conventions of every framework.

And so, every time I go in a section of code to fix a bug or adjust a feature and I see his name in git blame... I spend another few hours to make sure that I'm not breaking some of the twisted framework code that he had and possibly fix it up a bit and adding a unit test for the functionality before I touch anything to assure myself that I know what it is doing.

I challenge you to give an answer to my question?

it's such a simple question, how could anyone not give the right answer. but it's as badly communicated as your comment, subject to interpretation and perplexing.

now imaging being in a position of inferiority, in total fear to be asked about things you've never hear about before. like it happens not so rarely when sitting University in exams. you studied 90% of the curriculum for a year, but, bad luck, the exam concentrates on that 10% you've overlooked.
you haven't prepared for a year for that interview, but it does feel like it while waiting in that soulless waiting room. The secretary bored to death nearby doesn't help gain any courage: she mastered the art of pretence, she isn't building some complex excel queries, she plays the solitaire. but you don't know that. and you haven't even entered the interview room yet.

if you don't picture that scenario, just try to give a speech on a very large audience. you will see how emotions can very well take full control over you.
Just another unwelcome participant trying to get some of that sweet sweet attention-economy cash, as if there weren't enough vying for that spot already. In specific answer to your question, I'll just point you to your first sentence correctly identifying this as one of those slippery slope situations that the fallacy is named after.
I started meds for ADHD just under a year ago, and it was the most profound experience of my life. Until I started and experienced my brain fog lifting for the first time in my life, my mind and body physically relaxing an becoming quieter, I had no concept of how off my perception of normal was.

The explanation of how stimulants affect the brain, by increasing the amount of norepinephrine and dopamine and inhibiting re-uptake, is something I feel I understand now.

When I read the experiences of those with and without ADHD taking stimulants they’re pretty consistent. Those without take some, are in a ”high” get a load of stuff done, then crash hard. If they take it for too long, their normal starts to sound closer to the normal I experienced before taking medication.

I kind of agree with you in the sense of having a bad classification of normal, I did. The cause and treatment are some of the most well studied areas of psychology, and stimulant treatment is one of the most effective in all of psychology.

ADHD, aside from being incredibly poorly named, is looking more and more like something we will come to know as a collection of related but different conditions, that happen to all respond well to stimulant medication.

I’d also add, stimulants don’t solve ADHD. They’re not a cure, they’re at best a pair of glasses, a crutch for someone with a broken leg, or a wheelchair for someone with mobility issues. They can help a lot, but they’re only one part of living with ADHD.
I can't speak for all Samsung TVs, but we recently purchased a Samsung 75-in Q70R and it has never been connected to the Internet. Works fine. The only time we use the TV remote for anything is volume control and selecting which HDMI input to show.

Yeah quitting the 9 to 5, I saw such a huge difference in mental health. It actually took a few months of unemployment for me to fully feel well. It was bliss. But alas, I am back working and back in the same trap.
I comment this under any similar threads in the past and will continue to for any Australians who don’t know, but this would be a valid reason for a return/refund under Australian law. A company can’t remove or “functionally change” features after you’ve bought a product, or if they do, you’re allowed to return it for a refund.

I’ve done this in the past with a few different pieces of tech already, such as Bose speakers and a Samsung TV.
It's funny you should mention that because Vizio just added a huge "opt-in" privacy disclaimer around a month ago.
I assume this was before the career path was formalized enough to have its own recognition in school. You would take an EE degree and specialize in the things that are relevant to recording.

How many people actually believe in the culture of their executive leadership at their employer?

I've worked for about 9 different tech companies in my career and I only truly believed in maybe 2-3 leadership teams after a year working there. Execs are politicians at the end of the day, the only difference is that they're chasing profit instead of votes.

> These people are all fairly well paid, so none of this "just doing muh job" nonsense.

Changing jobs is time-consuming and stressful, and there's a lot more to a job than just total comp. Flexible hours, company culture, etc. also play a role. The reality is that if you've been around this industry long enough, there's a semi-decent chance that you have a company on your resume that you might not be proud to admit working for, either due to public or internal knowledge.

This is part of the reason why the last 7 years have been so shit to me. If you burnout and lose your job, it's absurdly difficult to get __any__ new one, even underpaying ones at shit companies that abuse their employees. All it takes is one idiot from marketing to think you answered the same question more vaguely than they would have liked, and 13 hours of interviewing time is out the window. Scale that up to applying at even 5 companies, and you're in the business of causing depression
I don't want to live in "affordable housing." Does anyone want to live in affordable housing? It's cheap for a reason: it's small, it's not in a good location, construction materials are cheap, it's packed with people.

We don't need affordable housing. We need people to stop buying houses they don't live in-- especially if they are renting them out to others. We need to cut population growth. We need to stop subsidizing home buying.
This is kind of unfair given TVs are usually kept for a very long time. You buy the TV, didn’t understand why the price was cheaper than competitors, and a year later regret your decision. It’s not really feasible for most consumers to get a new TV at that point.
Nothing. This is his point. A producer doesn’t really do much, if anything.
What you have seen is its corollary: Cities where building is so impossible, that a run down shack that will be extremely difficult to remodel goes for 7 figures, because it really is the best available choice for someone that can afford the luxury housing.

Housing is a sorting and ranking problem: Everyone gets to pay the best house they can afford. The richest man in town gets the best house, the second gets the second best, and so on. When what you can afford is fixed, it doesn't really matter much which house gets built: Everyone underneath gets, for the price they can afford, a slightly superior house.

The one thing that throws a wrench into it is immigration, from the same country or a different one. I am not moving to SF for the current house prices, but I would think about it really seriously if the housing I can afford, coming from far away, was good enough. But in that case, it's not as if building affordable houses is going to work either, unless you just say "Sorry, you can't buy this house, it's going to go to someone poorer, even if you really want it, and would pay more".

And that's really the ultimate problem of affordable housing in a place that is extremely in demand: You either make it so unattractive that nobody wants to live in it, or your affordability is really handing a giant subsidy to a set of chosen people that get to live there, while many other people would be willing to pay more for the same dwelling, but they didn't win your lottery. You have to stop the affordable buyer from selling too, because otherwise all you did is to let someone pay, say, 200k for an apartment that in the open market would be worth 1 million, handing out 800k to a lucky winner.

right so the dollar store is obligated to charge $100 for everything because of your 'legally required' meme? That's not the way things work. You can sell things for less profit margin and companies do all the time.

I mean if they must show ads to make money, legally, maybe they need to actually force you to swipe a credit card every time you want to watch? That's more money, they're legally obligated.

Maybe instead of a video stream, you turn on the TV and it just steals your identity and steals your wallet - that's profit, right?

Just because everyone else jumps off a bridge does not make you legally obligated to do the same.
Perhaps it is exaggerated but ‘no ads’ means higher prices (due to lower revenue on the backend), and thus lower sales since people only really purchase TVs based on the shelf price. If the higher price doesn’t make up for lost overall sales revenue, that means lower actual revenue. There’s also the (maybe fictional) concept of selling the most TVs leading to more ad viewers, thus increasing the value your ad platform can provide compared to your competition.
That depends on the market positioning. High end LG and Samsung TVs have a healthy margin.

In the first half of 2018, LG Electronics' operating profit margin on their TV segment was 12.4% due to strong OLED sales[0].

Yeah, but that’s the thing that makes this kind of dumb; the original article actually did list the other benefits of ECC, along with the no-questions recommendation to use Curve25519, and I trust cryptographers who say that it is easier to verify the correctness of a Curve25519 implementation than an RSA implementation.

The “easier to verify correctness” part very much matters to me even if I’m not writing the code.
Similarly, my Sony TV updated and now freezes when I try to watch Netflix (I have to unplug it from mains). I hate that I can't return it because it's not in warranty, but this isn't the TV breaking, it's Sony deliberately ruining it.

So again, is Obama a conservative? If you say no, then how many conservative views must one hold to belong to the group?
