This isn't going to go pop TCP servers in the wild. Also important to call out that any networking equipment worth its weight is going to block these malicious packets long before they reach the host.

Belarus and Russian dissidents abroad, seeking a temporary housing while fleeing their oppressive governments, will be delighted by this.

Ban on Belarus users is even more ironic how quickly the world has turned on them: just a few months ago they were welcomed in many places as victims of brutal dictator Lukashenko and his purges, but now they must suffer for not succeeding in overthrowing him.

Madness.

This is awesome! I watched multiple videos by Sabine. She stays on popular level there, pretty much like the journalists she mentions.

I am interested in physics. I am one of those middle aged men. Not that I aspire to suddenly come up with a theory of everything that people who dedicated their life to it could not think of. I am just curious. I have a solid applied mathematical background with all the usual basics like linear algebra, real and complex calculus, functional analysis, information theory, probability, statistics, ODEs and PDEs, but I quickly realized that I would need to fill multiple gaps in my math before understanding modern physics: quarternions, tensors, Lie groups and algebras, differential geometry etc. so I am slowly working through this.

My problem is: it is pretty hard for me to find a good set of books/textbooks that fill the specific gaps in my math knowledge. I even started to work on DAG of areas and associated textbooks myself but any pointers would be appreciated.
It’s pretty convenient using myGov to do taxes and Medicare. The identity part is honestly the least usable bit. I’d be a fan since we already have tax file numbers that pretty much function as this.

This kind of thinking is what was so exhausting during the height of the pandemic. The "barrier for entry" was very low (a facebook meme, watching a podcast) but the burden of proof was immense (always more research that needed to be done on behalf of the people saying it probably didn't make sense).
If you broke Comcast up into smaller companies, I don't think you'd suddenly have multiple different companies competing to dig ditches and lay fiber in each tiny town across America. You'd have Comcast North, Comcast West, Comcast South, and Comcast East, and the situation is literally still the exact same except that the owners of Comcast become a little richer due to the conglomerate discount.

I never saw a multifunctional USB 3 hub (that has anything more than USB 3 sockets) where all the features worked on Windows.

One could blame: Windows, crap hardware from Dell, and crap hub hardware. I think it is all three.
So the stakes are low, but it's objectively harmful. If you cut in line, it takes longer for me to get through the line than if you weren't there. Compare this to the "Nice" act of throwing out "thoughts and prayers" when someone says their house burned down.

I guess a better example is screaming "fuck you" when does something you don't agree with? If "Nice" is expressing a desire to help without helping, being "Mean" is expressing a desire without hurting?

I'd need to pull some research, but I'm pretty sure that the mental gains of "thoughts and prayers" is degrees lower than the mental pains of "fuck you", so I felt like they weren't proper equivalents.
Yes this is part of it for sure - help me help you, we're all trying to just go about our day here.. let me lend a hand.

Plus you've probably got your headphones on and are running late to your morning meeting or meeting up with your spouse.. and the extra minute of putting down the stroller, freeing your hand to remove your headphones and adding some superfluous verbal interaction just feels... superfluous.
Actually they have a simple USB-C break-out adapter which has a USB-A port, an HDMI port and power-in. It works extremely well. You can connect it to a USB3.0 hub to get a lot of ports. I leave it at my office desk for day to day operation.

If you want a proper docking station, a higher end Dell monitor [0] will do with USB-C, display daisy chain and USB-PD. It'll enable single cable connectivity to anything you care, sans ethernet, which can be attached to the monitor's USB hub, if you really need.

For my mobility needs, I use a Kingston Nucleum [1] since I don't care about Ethernet, but about fast card readers. It also supports 60W USB-PD, which is ample for a MacBook Air M1. That thing is really high quality.

All I wanted for my Macbook Pro (with 4 USB-C) was to get one USB-A and power passthrough. The USB-A would then get chained to a genuine USB-A hub.

After two years, I'm now on my third hub. The second one was made by EUASOO and it died not being able to pass power through from the USB charger (it also wouldn't let the Mac boot when it was plugged in!). The first one (that I can't find) never really worked at all. The third one is branded OMARS and has survived maybe a month. On the plus side, it does actually let the Mac boot.
I thought newer devices (washing machines, ACs, etc.) mostly used brushless DC / ECM motors, since they are more efficient and quieter?

They do need controllers that use AC, so I don't think that existing devices would work on DC.
I'd add one more differentiation. "Nice" doesn't require much effort but "kind" does. Being kind might require some sacrifice. Maybe it's voting against the zoning law that will increase your property value.
"Kindness" is one of those words that we've all recently agreed is an Absolute Anchor of Goodness. It's in everyone's mouth and on all the yard signs. But since no one agrees on what Goodness is, we don't agree on what Kindness is either. The "nice vs. kind" distinction is one of the ways we (indirectly) challenge that Absolute.

We all agree that the bundle of traits associated with Kindness - being positive, agreeable, caring, and giving - are basically good, but the Devil's always in the details.

I think that what a lot of people call Kindness, I call Ruinous Empathy [1] or avoidance. This sort of "kindness" either fails to communicate challenging information, or it bends over backwards to sugarcoat it so much that the message gets lost... which amounts to the same thing.

No, it sounds perfectly fine. Mathematically, interleaving samples like this is equivalent to zero-padding every other sample to upsample, with no antialiasing filter. Then you add the other channel offset by one sample. The end result is that you have both channels summed up in the low 24kHz of spectrum, with half a 48kHz sample of offset for one channel (mostly negligible), and everything mirrored in the top 24kHz of spectrum as aliasing (which you can't hear). In other words, it will be very, very close to what a simple mono downmix would sound like.
Americans may claim that they support healthcare or education reform in the abstract, but they don't actually vote that way. Most people aren't willing to voluntarily pay higher taxes or cut other programs in order to actually implement those policies.

I'd like the government to give me all sorts of stuff for free as long as someone else is paying.

no no no no NO. The whole point of it being Bus Rapid Transit (as opposed to just a series of buses) is that it ISN'T just using the same roads that cars are on.
Just under 43% more, no?

It's a 30% cut for Apple; for a price of x, the underlying cost, excluding the cut, is 0.7 * x. But you're paying x, which is 100% - x / (0.7 * x) more, or 42.8%.
Nice is about mannerisms, kind is about actions.
> a lot of Americans are disconnected from members of the military, especially in the upper classes where people do not need to serve, or in fields (like tech) where people can often find less intrusive ways to pay for college.

I think that's a serious problem. Americans have little idea how the US military works and tend to form extreme opinions, either glorifying it or villifying it - the former especially in the last 20 years or so but neither is at all healthy. When people understood the military - when we had a draft and a wide spectrum was personally familiar with it - we had popular entertainment like Gomer Pyle and MASH, and expressions like FUBAR and SNAFU. The military was seen as an enormous, absurd, powerful bureaucracy; people understood its limits and capabilities, and could make decisions about using it. Warfare was not glorified so much, but seen as the scourge it is, the last option, because many actually had experience of it. They also had skin in the game during a war, risking being drafted and knowing people who were. Now we fight the 20 year GWOT, send people on one tour after another, and many outside don't even realize there's a war on or wonder how it's going - but they do say 'thank you for your service' endlessly (a young relative in ROTC (US undergrad trainee program) was thanked several times wearing their uniform around town!).

Part of the problem is the narrow population from which the military recruits. In the US Army, 79% of recruits come from families which already have service members. [0] Consider that only a few percent of the population is in the military. Also, I read that the military does not recruit in - or puts very little effort into - major cities (though I can't find the cite now, and it was a few years ago). [EDIT: cite found: 1]

Their TS3 dock supports ethernet. I've had mine for well over 3 years now and it still works great. Can't say the same for the 5+ other docks I had before this one.
You might consider small claims court for the value of the laptop. Whether you would win depends on the context which you've mostly left out.
I’ve got the TS 3 Plus dock (which has Ethernet) and it has been working flawlessly on my 2020 MBP (Intel) the entire time. I _think_ there was a firmware update in the early days that unlocked the 85 or 90 watt charging. I had heartburn about the price, but it’s been worth every penny.

I’m not pushing 4K though, so mileage may vary. I’ve got a 27” TB2 Apple Cinema Display via TB2 to USB-C and a Dell via Display port.

As a guy working with Raspberry Pi and 3D printers a lot in my free time it is SO NICE to have the card reader right up front and easy to access. I also love un/plugging just one cord when I’m on the go.

Interesting that I can so easily argue the reverse in terms of her political alignments:

Leftists: you should be able to have xyz. Oh, no, I don't have a feasible plan to implement it but I'm definitely saying you should have it. (nice)

Liberals: here's a massive reduction in child poverty through the expanded EITC (kind)

I definitely agree with the geographical divide though, wherein the SF "progressives" are very nice and will put out the "BLM, No one is illegal, etc" sign in the garden but balk at being kind enough to actually build homes to allow those people to live near them.

One person at a time, without making a big fuss about it, realizes that to be first you must be last, and gets the work done and learns to ignore the bullshit.

It’s not glamorous, it’s likely to be ignored completely by the powers and the principalities, and it’s one of the few things on this earth that keeps you human because it keeps you in relationship and community with other real life complicated people.
Someone has 10 years of continuous experience, knowledge, and work. They makes $100k.

Someone else is the same age, graduated the same year, from the same school, but took two years off of work and therefore has 8 years of experience. They make $80k, which is less than their colleague.

See the difference?
Apple frequently censors apps in their App Store at the behest of authoritarian governments. These types of actions impede peoples ability to express themselves freely, and is incredibly destructive to channels of political organizing.

Apple has censored Tibetans & religious groups in China and LGBTQ+ content on a staggering scale globally. Local laws may require this, but being a censorship chokepoint is Apple’s choice, a choice made for profit that destroys lives.
I had several dongles and wires handing from my laptop until I read your comment just now. thanks!
I agree. The problem is when laws leave things up to being "reasonable" we end up with arguments like in this case where they claim the city failed to take reasonable care of the sidewalk, or that the rider failed to exercise reasonable care, etc. So we leave it mostly up to a few jury members, who's opinions and views can vary wildly from case to case.
> But who out there is preaching proper pronoun usage WITHOUT supporting legislation for protection of trans people?

This is maybe not the best example. But certainly there are a lot of groups who have a veneer of helpfulness, but whose actions are self-serving. Their words say one thing, but their actions another.

Then there's groups who mean well, but whose actions are ineffective. I.e. enacting these laws they hope will reduce homelessness, but do nothing to actually address homelessness (because they don't understand the issue).
I've gone through a number of Thunderbolt docks over the last few years. I tend to prefer docks to hubs because you tend to use your laptop at several fixed positions, each of which might have 1 or more monitors, a network cable, accessories (eg keyboard, mouse, camera) and so on. It's easier to just plug in one cable from the dock to the Macbook that'll do everything including power it.

A good example of this is the Caldigit TS4 [1]. All the ports you could possibly want. Here's what I've learned.

First and foremost, you'll be surprised at how many issues come down to a given cable being bad. It's gotten to the point that whenever I buy any sort of cable I typically buy 2 or even 3 at the same time because I assume 1 will be bad or will go bad.

Second, also to do with cables, don't use any cable to connect from your dock to your laptop longer than a foot. These cables that can take power and full bandwidth for displays and accesories are the most technically demanding. Keep them as short as possible. And again, have spares.

Third, while I'm a traditionalist and like a wired connection (and thus an Ethernet port), it's really optional now, particularly at home where you have some control over the network. Like I can get easily get 500+ Mbps over Wifi at home. This of course assumes a sufficient Internet connection but if you don't have that then Ehternet is even less necessary.

If you have flickering display in particular, your first instinct should be to blame the cable.

A government rule that says anyone with market power can't have censorship power isn't so much picking winners and losers as preventing someone else from doing it.

And it isn't preventing useful filtering, because someone without market power can do it.

There are maybe better ways to fix this. Like get rid of DMCA 1201 and the other laws that cause tech markets to consolidate like this to begin with. But given the choice between this or nothing, this.
Potentially, but the problem is that now you had no choice. Back then, your laptop would come with a reputable (most likely Intel) Ethernet controller that you would use so you had no reason to buy an external one and bear the risk of getting a shitty one. Now, more and more laptops don't have an Ethernet controller, so you have no choice but to roll the dice and churn through multiple dongles until you get one with a controller that doesn't suck.

I ended up getting a Lenovo USB-C Gen 2 hub a couple of years ago, and it’s still on sale. Also very satisfied.

I’m able to switch my personal (Lenovo) and work (Dell) laptops, mostly without issue. I say without issue because the Dell/Intel only supports HBM2 so won’t do two monitors if one of them is more than 1080p.

I settled on using the HDMI out from the laptop to split the difference in frustration and convenience.
It means no one has written a "Why we switched to webpack" article in years so that means it's completely obsolete and useless.

It would be possible to have people keep control but still have everyone benefit - not all shares have to be the same, as we can see with Facebook.
And if one of the tiny wires breaks and causes a short, not only can you cause a fire but you also damage the connector in the laptop which can only be fixed by replacing the motherboard, which is more expensive than the laptop itself and not covered by warranty.
is it just me or is Elgato Thunderbolt 3 Pro case looks pretty much exactly like Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro case[0] (with the main difference between Belkin having a USB-C port replacing one of the USB-A ports, and the SD card reader and headphone jack being left-right swapped)? It looks the same even down to the curves and materials/colors, and even the naming is that close.

No complaints about the quality of the product btw, I have been using one myself for almost 2 years. I just found it pretty interesting that even the most recommended hub ends up potentially being just as suspect in terms of "who made it".
