Social media have been key to political campaigning in the last 10 years or so. This made headlines in relations to the Brexit referendum in the UK and it had made headlines after Obama's first presidential campaign which was a pioneer.

If you're not on social media you're toast.

It is definitely a bit of a pain to use and I have had issues with the bikes not being maintained. That being said its relatively easy to just switch to another one.

Much bigger problem in my opinion is that while the Metro lines are rapidly expanding they have very poor bicycle support. There is almost no space for bicycles and even on the cars that do have space it very quickly gets taken up by other people.
Thanks, gives me something to read about!

> But blaming your headphones is ignorant - the headphones implement a protocol. They don’t have control over the protocol.

If the headphones are implementing a protocol that isn't suitable for purpose, there is very good reason to blame the headphones. What's the point in having headphones if you need to be in a Faraday cage to use them?
I've worked on broadcast transmitter masts. I recall on FM masts RF burns were commonplace (things were a little different on TV towers). To minimize RF burns, the idea was to grab metal surfaces quickly so as to not get an RF burn (doing this avoided RF arcing onto one's skin).

One of the notable problems was when one's body could not come into direct contact with the metal mast. For example, one's on the mast/tower and working on something and one's legs are wrapped around the center pole of the antenna. In this situation one's legs are actually separated from the pole's metal surface by the thickness of the material in one's pants.

I recall ruining perfectly good pairs of jeans and overalls when the RF burned holes in them around the point of my knees (my knees being the closest point to the metal pole).

It was annoying for me to have to keep shifting about to minimize the RF arcing onto my knees (I say 'minimize' because I couldn't stop it completely).

After alighting down from the tower and inspecting my jeans it was not unusual to find about a half dozen blackened holes of a few mm (1/8") in diameter on the inside of both legs at knee height. Right, RF arcs through my pants did cause RF burns but for some reason they didn't hurt as much as I'd have expected. They were just a bit of a nuisance really.

BTW, when the arcing was happening I could smell whiffs of myself burning. At the time I considered this no big deal and I still don't. If one has to work on 'live' towers that are radiating VHF broadcast signals then one has to take these minor hazards/annoyances as part of the job.

___

Edit: I accidentally wore my good Seiko watch with an LCD on the tower one day and its display was ruined (the screen went completely black). Lesson: no electronic watches on 'live' towers. Wind-up mechanical ones are OK.

Also, do not attempt to use electronic multimeters on 'live' towers either (destroying a perfectly good Fluke won't get you any Brownie points). If you must use a multimeter on a 'live' tower, an AVO-8 is OK as long as the field strength isn't too high (figuring that out can be a problem which I won't address here, except to say that the field strength (power absorbed in the meter's components, i.e.: I^2R losses), should not exceed their limit).

The reason you can use an AVO-8 is that it uses a copper oxide rectifier which has an f(t) of around 20kHz. Note: there is no other multimeter that I know of with a copper oxide rectifier - all others use germanium diodes and the RF will blow them sky-high.
You can drink without hangovers if you exercise moderation and stay hydrated. The biggest mistake people make is seriously overdoing it. It doesn't have to be binge drinking or sobriety.

Russian Population: 145.20m
Ukrainian Population: 41.46m

Morale:
While the war is popular in Russia, that's mostly among older generation who won't be fighting in the war.
On the other hand Ukraine is highly motivated to not become a part of Russia.

Logistics:
The Russian military logistics are terrible, their military was built to wage a defensive war next to Russian railroads. They don't have much practice projecting power.

Kleptocracy:
The Russian commanders have been systematically stealing all of the money Putin was pumping into the military.

Training:
Since 2014 the Ukrainian military has undergone a revolution building a modern NATO trained military, the Russian military just isn't as good.

Command:
The Russian military does a lot of top down decision making, this means they can't react to news quickly. There observe -> decide -> act cycle is so long they can't really hit moving targets.

The only advantage Russia has is a larger population, and nuclear weapons. Every other advantage is to the Ukrainian's. Right now Russia has taken losses similar or worse than the absolutely worst his armies in the civil war. There are battalions where 80% of the soldiers are dead or wounded.

A large portion of the Russian military goes home in June, and they're going to have a tough time replacing them when Ukraine is viewed as a meat grinder.
Not convinced. The example of a blueberry pancake recipe has a big button titled
"jump to recipe" a few lines in and the ads covering the page is what 99% of the
internet looks like without an adblocker. That doesn't sound like the fault of
the search engine (but it is probably the fault of Google itself).

As to this:

search result (I already know what exceptions are in programming, so the
official Python documentation is way more than I need). I have to scroll halfway

The Python documentation is the primary source for what is being searched for. I
don't think it's too much to ask to "scroll halfway down". That comes across as
a bit petulant, to be honest.
The article asks "Which Micro-optimizations matter for BLAS3?", implying small dimensions, but doesn't actually tell me. The problem is well-studied, depending on what you consider "small". The most important thing is to avoid the packing step below an appropriate threshold. Implementations include libxsmm, blasfeo, and the "sup" version in blis (with papers on libxsmm and blasfeo). Eigen might also be relevant.

Based on current and projected usage vs staking rewards, it looks inevitable. However the rules that Ethereum operates by are not immutable. They have changed, and they will change again. So just because it looks like it will be deflationary this year, doesn't mean it will always be deflationary.
Freedom of expression does not mean tolerating outright lies and bigotry and harm on a non-government-owned/controlled platform. So Trump, since you decided to not say his name for some reason, was rightly kicked off the platform after being warned numerous times about his policy violations.

It's funny how people seem to think that such freedoms extend beyond the boundary of government and into the private sector (publicly-traded company or not). They do not. They never have. Twitter can set whatever rules they wish and the chips may fall where they will, despite what @jack may say. You are free to choose a different platform to support.

But don't sit there and think that the "other side" is somehow oppressed because you simply disagree with the policies of Twitter.

The word "naive" gets thrown around a lot when dealing with apparent expectations about apparent human irrationality. I find it's usually uncalled for. In this case, saying "We can stop all the conspiracy theories" does not mean that he thinks they will stop.

I also hand-coded my GeoCities site in 1995 and have good memories of those nostalgic times - but that’s what it is - nostalgia.

People still have the choice and freedom to build websites that that way - just like you might still want to record to multitrack tape instead of a DAW or shoot film instead of digital.

In terms of data collection and privacy - I think these things are important and we are thankfully nearly there in tech maturity for local-first encrypted p2p apps becoming feasible.

These technologies will enable rich collaborative user experiences without giving away your data unless you want to.

Remember when they completely screwed API users? Various Twitter third parties had to shut down entirely because of it."

They did this to make sure people saw ads. It's why Twitter is profitable now. The vast majority of people on Twitter never knew Twitter had a vibrant developer ecosystem in the distant past.

Sorry...i apparently replied to myself today. Heres what I said to myself when actually trying to reply to you..oops.

I have already moved to workspace for now. There will be no charges until August or so. And then 50% off through August of 2023. So its....not awesome but gives me breathing room to find an alternative (Or just stay the course).

I will say one gotcha that got me...The dont allow Google Voice for workspace. If youhave a legacy account, even on the gsuite it should be fine, but you cant setup new service. And if you mark the payment account as "individual" you have NO options. If you set it as a business you could get google voice as a paid service.

Payment accounts cant be changed once setup. Which is crazy.

The problem with this is if you toss a chunk of raw steel, no matter how fast or at what angle, it will always simply fall back down [1]. The minimum payload for this system absolutely requires a (extremely robust) rocket engine and propellant and avionics to circularize the orbit at apogee. That's the only way to achieve orbit. That puts a disappointingly high floor on the cost per launch and launch rate.

[1] Technically, escape velocity is also a possibility. But it's not a useful one, as the payload is still lost.
I wish I could give your answer 10 upvotes instead of just one.
In theory, headphones could store music in a buffer instead of playing it, and then delay playing it by say 2 minutes (or 5 seconds or whatever). Even if existing BT profiles preferred losing quality, you could have BT headsets that pretend to be storage devices and accept file uploads and which then play them after they've been completely received. Ideally though, you'd use one of the BT profiles that already provide guaranteed lossless audio transmission (or develop one if there's none). In a sense, BT profiles are protocols within a protocol, so you can develop almost anything you want (ofc, you need devices to support those profiles too).

Of course, the experience of clicking play on a song and having it only start a number of seconds later is not something that'd sell particularly well, I guess. And then you'd have to renegotiate the BT profile if a call comes in that has to happen live. And switching back to the song will have another big delay.
A language runtime can make that work if it wants to. High-level semantics don't need to constrain the implementation.
This app is super buggy. The UX has so many glitches (engineering failures).

Probably the biggest UX snafu that I found is that one can unlock a bike across town by mistake and then get billed $2000 for it getting lost/stolen. Take what Lyft did and copy that.

This is an app that is used by a lot of tourists - many of whom have minimal English skills. The UX failures are embarrassing. Whoever did this should be held responsible for breaking their SLA.

Went to school on the East coast, always dreamed of California life; was introduced to SF when a bunch of college friends got into tech; I followed suit

For me and many tech yuppies in SF, life revolves around work; Friday nights and Saturdays are for brunch and letting loose; Sundays are for the Sunday scaries, dreading the next day

SF was my first love: the water, the people, the energy, even the weather; over the years, it's become a shell of its old self. Crime, poop have all gone up. Government is completely incompetent. Never thought I would move out, but I have recently

Still a great place to start a career in tech because of the high-density of smart people. But also a weird place to be because some of your friends cash out big time with 7-8+ figures (https://topstartups.io/startup-salary-equity-database/); others toil away on the corporate ladder. It's a stark reminder of how people's lives can diverge depending on where they work

I try not to compare myself to others, but it's sort of impossible when you're living within a few miles of everyone

"This is exactly how I envision the dream of old world wealth you see on Downton Abbey or similar."

Then you misunderstand ...

That world you're envisioning is what happens after the "getting rich".

In the case of feudalism - and its remnants - the "getting rich" involved murderous expropriation of the lands and property of anyone that got in the way by sociopaths who hoarded and coveted everything that entered their awareness.

I think it was pretty hard work, actually ...
Ooooh something I know quite a lot about:

So for AES67 receive, in principle no as PTP stack exists for RPI yet. You could cheat like the majority of manufacturers do and just play the audio as it arrives instead of using the timestamps. You'd also need a way of drifting the audio out clock to match the frequency of the PTP clock. If you didn't care about bitexact audio, you can resample, though ALSAs clock measurement kind of sucks.

I've been considering rewriting a bunch of my stuff in Fennel since it has two other advantages the article doesn't point out: both Lua and Fennel are _very_ stable and unlikely to go through major changes over, say, the next five years or so.

> If you want to be entertained by a world class mentalist, I highly recommend watching some Derren Brown shorts on YouTube (as someone else suggested).

I've been to see him live (in Bristol, UK). He did the 'usual' (for him) amazing mentalist stuff, then did a physical turn. He got some audience members to break some glass bottles on the stage, hyperventilated in a bag (to slow his pulse), then lay with his cheek on the shards and got someone to press his head down with their foot. Afterwards he stood and plucked bits of glass from his (not bleeding) face.

He followed it up with a brief explanation of how he'd done one if his routines that night using suggestion, including photos of billboards/posters outside that guided attendees down certain thought paths before the show started. It was a revelation.

Incidentally he also published "Tricks of the Mind" which has a fair amount of detail about how he does some of it.

>He won't stop at Ukraine, it will just be a pit stop to Poland and the Baltic states and who knows what after that.

I find it hard to believe this narrative when the US and Ukraine has refused to negotiate on the terms that Russia offered to prevent, and then later stop the war. The rationale given is that Russia was not sincere, but I think we should have tried. From my perspective in the US, a NATO demilitarized Ukraine would have been a win-win for both countries.

This YouTube video, to me, shows the promise of things to come. AI generated game worlds. Language models to generate plots and dialog, transformers and GANs to create illustrations. Imagine a game, a truly open world sand box, Grand Theft Auto meets AI Dungeon - every NPC is a "real" person with unlimited dialog options, the buildings you drive by you could easily walk in and investigate, unlimited play space - you could type in more general instructions and ideas to the plot generator ("add in a vampire romance and murder mystery angle") on the fly.

This is something I have been wished it existed since Back to the Future’s Mr Fusion. I don’t think it’s possible to build it. My understanding (as a layman) is that you either need energies which melt all solid matter, or you either need impossibly high precision, to a point where you can play snooker with individual atoms. But that level of control also requires high energy, and you are back to square one
It wasn't whataboutism. I was pointing out that much of the media's objective is just to create controversy, not to clarify issues. They do it in both directions. Yes, the article didn't explicitly say he was a Manchurian Candidate, but that's the implication, and it's a bad read.

Someone can commit a crime without being a Russian agent. Same goes for Hunter Biden and his stupid laptop and weird deal with that company in Ukraine. I don't think he was a spy. I just think he's an idiot and greedy. He and Trump are the same.

The core issue here is thinking there's some real moral difference between left and right. There isn't. Think of the political spectrum in absolute value terms. People in the middle are the best people. People on both wings are the bad people.

Edit: Also, you know full well no one is going to read all 1,000 pages of this report. PBS is well known to have a large liberal bias. I downloaded the report and went through a bit of it. One thing I noticed is there's a big partisan split in the report itself about what the report means. Democrats say it essentially means Trump is a Russian spy. Republicans say it shows there was no collusion. Note which story PBS published.
That's funny, because many employees recall him being shown the door early in the company's history.
