It’s _mostly_ kinda sorta like that. There are broad groups that are basically the same; Craftsman and Dewalt being owned by Black and Decker, for instance. But it’s a crazy web depending on particular tools or features it goes from a couple root manufacturers to a dozen or so. But there’s a lot of BS.

Pro Tool Reviews did a big break down [0] a while ago that was very eye opening for me. It could easily be out of date by now but I had no clue how deep the groupings went at the time.

Hi HN,
The author here, I created this intending to see what the odds are, that the actual weight is the top trivia answer on all posts.
But the previous example isn't that case.

if (c.type === 'a') { /* c is of type A here */ }

This is dynamic typing, this code is checked at runtime, and it's leveraged statically.
Hmm, yeah, good point. I think you're right.

I guess the emotions associated with trust might be "peace" or "confidence".

Thanks for correcting my error!

I'm totally not suprised by this. I'm using USB-C between the hub and the monitor, and that seems to be working fine, so I basically haven't thought too much about it.
You are simply wrong.

Skin effect at 60Hz is about 8mm. Power transmission (especially the long distance ones) conductors are normally quite a lot larger than that. Even the wires coming into your house are probably pretty close to that so there will be some effect even if it's not huge.
It'll be due to the exit nodes for the VPN having been put on a blocklist.

If you're tunneling through your home network it's unlikely to cause problems, unless you've been doing nefarious things from your home IP and that has also ended up on a blocklist.
Yep, it's a lazy attempt at enforcing an Amazon Newspeak.

Since much of my USB-C hub usage was during COVID and work at home, I did do a ton of speed tests and don't remember seeing any issues with being downgraded but if it was random then I might not have noticed.

I believe you meant DC fast charging, unless you were referring to level 2 charging.

Doing work for Standard Ebooks has led me to read a lot of Victorian literature, and over time I've grown to appreciate the era in ways I hadn't thought of before.

While it's true that, like any era in history, there were real negative aspects - prudery, inescapable classism, imperialism, and so on - the Victorians were also some of the most forward-thinking and hopeful inhabitants of that foreign country of the past, fascinated by the possibility of self-improvement and the hopeful forward march of civilization and the fruits it can bear.

In a long history of the world marked by bloody, distracted despots ruling over subjugated peasants in grinding poverty, lit with brief, individual sparks of genius that slowly advanced civilization, the Victorians were maybe the first Western society - maybe anywhere - that devoted itself to relentless self-improvement as a moral imperative.

In Eminent Victorians alone, we have the biography of the woman who almost single-handedly modernized nursing into what we can still recognize as "nursing" today, and pioneered new uses of statistics; and the biography of the man who invented the modern boarding school, revolutionized "public" schooling and academic excellence, and made school sports the centerpiece that led it to becoming today's billion-dollar industry. That's not to mention the Origin of Species, Lister advancing antiseptics and sanitation, Pasteur, Bell, Babbage - the list goes on.

Maybe they were humorless prudes - though history may look back on today's outrage-fueled society as equally censorious - but we should at least respect them for their indelible mark as a society interested in actually improving itself, instead of maintaining the millenia-old status quo of boozy, gambling aristocrats cruelly ruling over the peasantry.

(Eminent Victorians is, by the way, an excellent read - fresh, light, engaging, and genuinely funny: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/lytton-strachey/eminent-vi...)
Don't know, but I don't think we'd want mountains of trash (whatever its composition) to wind up orbiting Earth. AFAIK a lot of energy/thrust/velocity is necessary to escape Earth gravity altogether. I'd guess launching stuff into deep space is expensive. Considering how much trash humans generate, well, space disposal isn't practical.

Besides "trash" could be a useful resource. To some extent it's already done. Some is convertible to energy. Other fractions (plastics, metals) recycled to make new stuff, etc. Could these uses be extended? I can't say, but more R&D is likely a better investment vs. rocketing trash away.
The poster probably meant that "«it would be nice» - yet largely irrelevant". You can abstract from those "personality traits" as long as """he is one who delivers""" - respectfully saying, as he is not obliged: he provided us with another tool, for our use, for free: he is a benefactor.
I've always wanted something like this, and I imagine the global efficiency benefit would be monumental in the long term, despite the enormous cost of enforcing a change. Though I also have trouble wrapping my head around a USB washing machine.
If you look at the software that was being put out in the mid-80s, there's a clear picture of "IBM being IBM" in that it had designed some graphics APIs that worked according to their corporate view of what applications needed[0]...and then the market ignored it, and programmed the hardware registers directly. And many of the features make sense in this light as being something designed to the APIs they had in mind, but then otherwise not given much attention or support.

A critical part of Microsoft's rise in this era was in grabbing up pieces of market share that the competition had overlooked, and their graphics story with Windows definitely enters into this. GDI didn't have conflicts of interest from being both a hardware and software maker, and so it could focus just on compatibility - a classic example of "worse is better".

DJI is pretty much the most respected brand for camera drones.

Lenovo. Aside from Apple, they're one of the core "premium" computer brands and are also one of the big ones for business fleets.

TCL seems to be the new Vizio in TVs.

Anker is probably the most trusted company for third party chargers, cords and other phone accessories.

Polestar is a growing name in luxury cars.

I don't know what the sentiment about Haier appliances is (they also bought GE's appliance division), but they definitely have a presence in stores in the US.

Yes, this. There are a few exceptions, thing like ssd drives, ram, sd cards, etc which I buy from companies that I know manufacture their own. For random peripherals, I just make sure it's Amazon Prime so there won't be any hassle if/when I need to return them.

I make an exception for earphones. Unless you're buying off-brand, you can be pretty certain that you're not getting white labelled. I'm listening to an audio book on Shure TW2's w/ se215 heads attached... not much chance that's white labelled. Same for the lower quality but also lower profile Galaxy Buds Live that I use as well.
Cannot read without logging in to Live?
Interesting. I have no issues like that. I've even changed jobs, so I'm actually on my second Macbook with this hub, and my Mac remembers window positions and monitor layouts every time (knocking on wood so I don't jinx myself). I rarely power all the way down, so usually it's usually just sleep mode for me. I am using the USB-C connection for the monitor if that makes a difference.
Good question: CEOs, executives, members of parliaments, journalists, researchers at industrial labs, those working in defense/military/aerospace, etc are at elevated risk of being hacked by governments and hacking companies such as NSO.

Are there guidelines how should these individuals protect themselves against such powerful adversaries?

Like if you work for the German or Chinese government in an important capacity, or lead a major company there, it’s a question whether you should use an iPhone (given that it’s a black box made by a US company), cloud services, etc.

How about if both sides are within the same country? For example, is a Google executive using an iPhone at risk of being spied on by Apple?
Time is a factor but not completely. It still seems to be a subconscious decision, and maybe something to do with your childhood upbringing.

I see people in the same companies on the same teams who fit into A or B despite doing ostensibly the same job.

Now time is finite, and arguably personA decided to send time on income maximization which takes away from time they can spend on penny pinching. While personB has done the inverse. Arguably you could split your time 50/50 or 70/30, but I've seen almost no one do it.
Peter Ackroyd's biography of Dickens discusses this, and the wonderful dissonance we see between this (often Edwardian influenced) view of late Victorian strictures and the torrid reality. As long as your mistress stayed away from the bright lights, you could dally all day long.

The regency was wonderful. Bridgerton is fantasy but what really happened is equally bizarre. Victorian moral rectitude Was a reaction to a more simple, honest regency view of morals.

Are you sure those two laws accomplish the same thing? Under the "good law" you posted above, many organizations in California would become illegal overnight that are legal under your "bad law". The LA Times, most nursing associations, and many other all-female organizations would be criminalized. Even LA County itself would be illegal:

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-04/l-a-coun...

I believe the goal of the authors of the law is to allow for all-female leadership teams to exist while explicitly prohibiting all-male leadership teams.
I'm sorry to have offended you, but I don't feel personal insults over the README of an open source project are particularly reasonable.

The "actual code" is being golfed for no other reason than to keep the line count down, for the sake of a promise that never needed to be made. This commit recovered a total of seven lines wherein new code can be added, in exchange for readability. It is not just a quirk, not just some sort of interesting aside like one could argue for suckless' `dwm`: this promise actively makes the code worse over time, for no reason.
This is really interesting stuff. Somehow, it never occurred to me, the extent to which these are... obviously sets. I mean, yes, clearly. But somehow the way they film gameshows makes them look... I dunno, like more of a concrete or permanent space, rather than being pretty closely related to stage props from a play. Just the slightly different angle from these renders really emphasizes this.
I want to throw up a gofundme and buy some land, and just start 'adding' affordable housing in rural areas.

Think 50 acres, 10% will be an airbnb glamp-camp for some revenue, 20% farm area, 20% common buildings for work and storage and things, then the rest will be traditional 'tiny homes' or yurts or earth-bag homes, etc. Maybe dig a deep hole and bury a container home, dig out some holes for a sunroof, etc... Good insulation. Very affordable design and dev.

Not everything needs to be old-school housing, it just needs to get the job done: Warm in winter, cool in summer, decent access to utilities and esp. clean water. The more eco-friendly the better and solar panels would be nice.
Apple's app store monopoly has serious effects on small businesses through their 30% cut of all profits. End users also suffer higher prices because of this "Apple tax".

Also, if you own an iPhone, you should be able to install whatever software you want to on the device, full stop. The idea that there is an unavoidable, artificially imposed chokepoint that software MUST funnel through is ridiculous.

Apple does not gatekeep the entities you are referencing out of a sense of social responsibility, they do it because of greed.
Well, there are two specific bills on the table that address big tech, and this campaign is coming from a group with an Internet-focused mission. Recognizing we have a big tech problem doesn't mean we become blind to problems elsewhere.
Not that I've seen (I've read a lot of chess books, and a lot of Go books). Go is a bigger game - you can't teach it in the way you can chess.

The problem of deciding what the biggest move is in Go goes way beyond the challenge in chess, where you have sets of potential lines that are completely decided by what's on the board. So you can't say "be aggressive, go after this or that".
If it's not too late, return it to where you got it.

You call the police. However, don't expect them to do anything and you won't be disappointed when they don't.

You can then call the city/county DA and get the same treatment. The state's attorney will do the same thing.
i wonder if pruning and other methods that reduce size drastically while not compromising on performance would be possible
But that's not how planning works. I want to know how many people to expect. I want to know if you're coming or not so I can plan accordingly. If someone just said 50/50 without any kind of reasoning or explanation, I'd say OK forget about it then.
The mystifying rise of child suicide
Some good friends work in this community, so to speak. They have all expressed confidence in the current state of the Strategic Rocket Forces (as in we should expect everything to work).

The SRF is handled differently than, say, a random mechanized infantry unit. They get funding, better troops, better training and maintenance, etc. For example, you wouldn't see the tires failing on their missile transporter-erector-launchers (TELs) because they actually take them out for a spin now and then, unlike some of the vehicles in Ukraine.

The Russians have also gotten quite good at maintaining their deterrent at the lowest level of expenditure possible. Their submarines can "patrol" from the pier, as they are designed to be able to launch their rockets from port, only sortieing in times of tension. Their TELs can fire from within their storage barns.

The Search for a Model Octopus That Won’t Die After Laying Its Eggs
For noise I recommend a noise cancelling headphone, BOSE QC35 is good at it, sometimes I'm wearing it on without music and it's enough.

We have two kids, 7m and 3y-ish, while the older is at kindergarten I do sync work with others or do focus work for about 4 hours.

When the older is back home I only do one meeting (rare) or push something that really really really needs to be pushed. After they go to bed I catch up on deep work for 2-3 hours.
You could always install a different OS on your son's Chromebook since it would still have access to all of the school's software (through Chrome) and more. I'd recommend GalliumOS (https://galliumos.org/) since the drivers support audio and keyboard shortcuts better.
From an English perspective I have to say the average perception of
Victorians is more about social inequality and child abuse. Images of
workhouses and gruel, small boys being beasted up chimneys, toothless
14 year-old "match girls" wandering the night calling "Blow ya for a
penny guv".

Really, immodestly clothed piano legs showing too much ankle pale in
comparison to Dickensian tales of ruffians, rats and cockneys.

But then TFA is really saying the same as I am, that both mythologies
are constructed in opposition to one another, and in hindsight that
all cultures ('Modernity' in this case) construct themseves in
relation to something else - something they are not.

Everybody's clever nowadays. And so terribly modern.
Does it have an audible coil whine?

I've tested 5+ TS3 Plus docks, and all of them have a coil whine, which can be heard in a quiet room, without playing any music.

Sometimes I like to work in silence, and the coil whine really bothers me.
> Looks to me what it is: a "safe", as in common, meshed stack for new teams to develop mvps.

If you can get this out of the box, this seems like a very good value prop. 'Boring and not innovative' isn't a flaw unless you're looking for something exciting and innovative, and most applications don't need this.

re law: illinois is the state that has the biometric privacy law iirc? you may be able to do a civil suit via that, if the device is sharing face images and you really didn't consent and you can prove it and the law was written with your situation and mind and CPS hasn't indemnified big G. my guess is you'd have to pay a few $k to a lawyer to evaluate the case and then many more $k on the suit, plus you probably have a TOS problem.
So you admit the money does not reach those in need.

super smooth on a PC
You seem to be specifically looking to find a frame in which the author is incorrect, which is basically a sign of the problem he's getting at in the article - the inability to allow ideas to be reduced to 'cartoonish' principles in order to facilitate a different (more engaging?) method of learning math, at the expense of being "technically correct".

All your points seem to be making the same type of argument, so I'll just address the first one from my perspective, with the author's points in mind.

> Huh!? I have luckily never heard anyone try to explain multiplication that way before. It's a horrible mental model for multiplication!

The model definitely worked for me when I first encountered it and it worked for many of my early friends (a couple of whom are now accredited mathematicians). The other cases surrounding multiplication revealed themselves naturally, as I encountered multiplication by 0, multiplication by negatives, etc. (exceptions/cases noted by the author). The basic model gave me a way to think about how I could put the tool (multiplication, in this case) to use without being overwhelming and my self-driven discovery of the unexpected parts made me much more interested in what else I might be missing than if someone had given me a full, technically correct definition from the get-go. The key is that this is specifically aimed at those who are learning, not those who are 'learned'.
