Yes we were working with a company that was doing a great job but barely staying afloat, so I hired some of the team, and the rest had a soft landing. Then built from there. Was a conscious decision to vertically integrate this.

Yeah so the Ursa is around $5K. And just FYI the 12K Ursa dropped from about $11K to about $6K a few months after launch, so just be aware that that kind of thing happens. A new ARRI is $20 to $30K although I haven't looked lately. Also RED is very expensive. So with Ursas you get 14.5 stops of dynamic range, raw and the Resolve workflow which braw integrates into beautifully. You essentially have Hollywood quality gear for a fraction of the price, and you're using the same color grading workflow that Hollywood actually uses - since Resolve is the standard for color grading for big films. And the grade is really where you figure out how good your camera actually is - and since the folks who make the grading software make the cameras and developed the partial debayered raw format they use, the product you get is pretty damn good!

Now lenses are a different story. We standardized on Canon cine lenses which work great on the Ursas - and the cameras are adaptable to PL mount if you ever want to rent lenses.

Just a final note. I know a lot of folks reading this are budget concious. Don't make the mistake of getting a nice collection of Sony E mount lenses or another mirrorless standard with a short flange distance. You will not be able to use those lenses on many other cameras that have lens adapters because the flange distance is too small - so you simply can't adapt them. Standardize on a lens with a big flange distance that is adaptable to a lot of cameras if you move from renting to actually buying lenses. Canon Cine lenses are great - but Canon L lenses are also bloody good and excellent value for money. For example the f1.2 50mm prime is a brilliant multi use film lenses that you can use on the Ursa and get amazing results - and it's quite a bit cheaper than a cine lens and uses the same mount as the cine lenses. Because the L lenses have the same mount, you can do some pretty crazy shit like putting a f4.0 600mm prime on an Ursa and shoot film with it. Try finding a cine lens like that!
Quick refresher on context: Under GDPR, personal data sent from the EU to another country must have some level of protections in that country. By far the easiest option is an "adequacy decision," where the EU says "that country has good data protections" and no extra work must be done. USA has jack-diddly-squat for data protections in most contexts, but Privacy Shield was the work-around where companies could opt-in to additional legal restrictions, and EU had an adequacy decision for companies that did so.

Schrems II is the EU court case that struck down the Adequacy Decision. The heart of the decision is the correct and accurate observation US law enforcement can compel a company to hand over data about an EU individual, and that EU individual has no recourse. There have been a series of court cases since Schrems II which expand upon the logical consequences of this ruling. Short version is, not only is the adequacy decision gone, but none of the other options in GDPR will work either. It is literally not possible to adequately safeguard personal data in the US, because there are no redress mechanisms to improper access from US law enforcement.

There have been high-level talks about "Privacy Shield 2.0," and there were some announcements from both US and EU government agencies about a milestone in those talks. The linked article is making it clear, correctly, that the observable substance of those agreements extends no further than the name "Privacy Shield 2.0" The details of how this agreement will work are important. There is no evidence that such details exist, even in the form of smudged handwritten notes on the back of a used cocktail napkin.

The EU and US have agreed that they would like it if something called Privacy Shield 2.0 were to exist in the future. That's great, I would like that as well. But we don't have one.

This article is content marketing from Simple Analytics. Their marketing spin is that if you're deciding what Website Analytics solution to buy, you should not pin your hopes on Google Analytics being acceptable under GDPR in the near- or medium-term future. As someone whose professional interests mean I pay a lot of attention to both GDPR and Google Analytics, I think that statement is accurate.

That's a loaded term. It means whatever you want it to mean. If you are a drone enthusiast, it means you fly wherever you want, take pictures of whatever you want. To other people, it means freedom from having a drone buzz over their house taking pictures.

I don't think it is nearly as bleak and binary as people make it out to be. If you look at the actual data, there is still a lot of opportunity for upward mobility. 60% of people who grow up in the bottom economic quintile improve their situation. [1] When thinking about the 40% that dont, there are a few notable facts:

20% of children in the bottom quintile dont graduate highschool.[2]

8% of men born into the bottom quintile are currently incarcerated.[3]

The traditional advice to children for how to be in the 60% that escape poverty is still true. Stay in highschool, stay away from drugs and crime, and go to college if possible. If poor children can do this, their chances of improving are actually quite good and not at all hopeless.

I am late late GenX, and I have no higher education, own my car out right (late model pretty nice), I will pay off my home in the next 5 years, and I financially support one of my parents. I make less than 6 figures so I would not consider myself to be "rich"

I think the key for me is the fact I choose not to incur educational debt getting a BS and/or MS, I also choose to live in a non-coastal region that does not have crazy housing prices. I also had lots of support from my parents* when I was younger so establish myself financially (like enabling me to be able to save for the down payment on this home)

I worked very hard and now make a pretty decent wage after decades of working lower wage jobs.

* To be clear this is just basic support like a stable roof over my head, the were lower middle class as well, their combined income was less than 6 figures, we had a basic home, food, etc but no luxuries, no vacations, one of the reasons I did not go to college was I did not want debt, and the family had no money for tuition
To protect against bit flips in car fly-by-wire systems, each signal is sent three times with the 2/3 majority making the decision. This happened after the runaway Prius fiasco that may have been caused by a gamma ray. Prior to that incident the fly-by-wire system only sent one signal.
I don't know, I guess it's a question of definitions?

It feels differently to me as a developer which of the things that seem analogous I do in ruby. I don't have experience using this particular tool in JS.
You are preaching to the choir. People don't care about security. They just want to see their Netflix 320x240 px movie marketed as HD.
The idea that Unity (market cap $22 billion) should put in the work to stay compatible while Apple (market cap $2.64 trillion) should not is deplorable.
Wages in the US have been stagnant in real terms for decades:

but the prices of houses have shot up massively. So, not sure why you are so certain that wages rising would lead to significant inflation in housing prices.
Here's my setup on a standard Apple Magic Keyboard:

caps lock -> ctrl
tilde -> escape
left ctrl -> tilde

I borrowed this from the Happy Hacking Keyboard layout and haven't looked back since. I can now press escape with my left ring finger (right next to '1'), ctrl with my left pinky (right next to 'a'), and when I do need to type a tilde or backtick (not often) it's right under shift. On some keyboards I also map backslash to backspace and vice versa, to bring backspace closer. No more finger stretching!
You can offer aid/investment in a different way that builds up local capacity instead of dependence. Which isn't always easy or straightforward, but the first step is the intention.

It will often be less beneficial for the fortunes of the "developed world" based institutions behind the philanthropy though, which is why the unconsidered default is often in the other direction (even without actual malicious intent which sometimes exists too), and it takes extra intention and commitment and willingness to sacrifice some self-interest.

There are other problems. My Dad had an engine fire in his RAF Vampire over East England, didn't have an ejector seat, and decided it would be better to belly-land the thing, which he did, succesfully, in a cabbage field.

He got out of the Vampire and trudged over to an old yokel who had been sitting watching all this.

Dad: Is there a phone around here?

Yokel: You'm will be paying for all them cabbages?
There isn't a "the industry." There are multiple industries.

Places where I've used AV equipment costing >$5k where lifespans were in decades:

- Permanently mounted systems in lecture halls designed to record talks.

- Machine vision systems in manufacturing processes.

- Scientific instrumentation.

My local CCTV station also has ancient, high-end equipment.

What make BM cameras great is that they can embed in a lot of places like these.

If "the industry" is limited to professional TV production, I agree with your point. However, the market for cameras is much greater than that, and those sorts of oddball segments are growing exponentially as costs fall, machine vision improves, etc.

I don't demand anything from BM. I also have no intention of diving into their codebase. I do have a handful of C-mount and MFT cameras in different capacities, permanently mounted, for various needs. If BM is a better solution for me, I'll buy from them. If it's worse, I won't.
Sounds like you haven’t given up on your ‘dream’ if you’re currently still grinding to attain it.

Hate to break it to you, but many, many people raise kids and own a home with way less than $135k, even in your area. If you don’t want to attempt it because it’ll be hard, stressful, risky, etc.; maybe that’s worth reflecting on? Sometimes your standards/expectations are what need to change.
>My question for plastic recycling is: if it's so difficult to recycle why not just landfill it?

Probably because of public unease about sustainability, specifically running out of landfills.

>GONZALEZ: There were all these stats coming out at the time that showed that the number of landfills in America was plummeting. Landfills were closing, and people kept citing these stats in stories about the garbage barge.

>KINNAMAN: And so people put it all together, and in their minds, the conclusion was that the United States is running out of landfill space. The United States was full - that we couldn't store any more.

Of course, that was never going to happen.

>And even hardcore environmentalists reluctantly agree that, yeah, we have a lot of space left. But people thought we were running out of space, and that was what mattered.
> the state of NM does not lay claim to all the water that falls here ... and other large parts are tribe owned.

Yes. And when you finish reading the article you keep criticizing, you may learn that these are what the Navajo just successfully sued back from the state, after the state tried to lay claim to them.

.

> I said it was poorly written because

I already told you once that you made me feel bad by trying to say this.

I'm not interested. Thanks.

.

> > In addition, I do not believe it is the true to say:

That's nice. It is, though.

.

> > every single source of water to New Mexico flows through the land of either The Nuntzi, the Navajo, the Goshutes, the Shoshone, the Shivwits, or the Koosharem.

> I think (but am not certain) that you're describing inflows to the area of the state.

No, I meant the words I said

.

> I think you might be imagining that I'm not aware of ... the tribes' arguments in this matter.

The things you are saying are directly contradictory to a correct understanding of the matter, so I don't believe "imagining" is actually the right word here. I think it's "discovering."

.

> I entirely agree with the terms of the settlement

Sir, the settlement is what was overturned. The thing that we're discussing is a judgment, not a settlement.

This is like someone suing someone for breach of contract, and in attempting to support them, saying "I agree with the contract."

If you support the settlement, that's saying New Mexico is right, and the water should continue to be taken.

It's very difficult to take legal discussions seriously with someone when they misuse basic concepts.
Yes and no.

"Do Not Track" setting does not do anything but sending a header to all websites you visit. Plus, it was blamed to have an unfavorable default.

The whole popup mess those days is essentially about those facts - there are no easy per-site controls with no default state (with a possible default if user consciously and explicitly configures their system as "accept all everywhere" or "reject all everywhere" - but this can't be out-of-the-box). Cookie prompts are just like that: per-site and without a default (you have to actively make a decision every time - accept or reject).

I'm arguing that it would've been better if all those consent prompts would've been unified and a part of browser UI (rather than website UI). Because of two reasons: 1) the UI and UX would be uniform, consistent, and not prone to design whims and dark patterns; and 2) because this way browsers would be able to guarantee that the choice is partially respected by actually not accepting cookies. DNT header would be still needed to tell website to disable server-side tracking (and one has to believe that website respects it - turning this into a legal matter), but the whole design is different.

(Just not like that annoying geolocation or camera popup prompts lol. A bar on top of the webpage would've been a sane option, I guess.)
It's the modern "virgin" insult but worse because they are supposedly virgins who have been rejected by a lot of girls. They aren't virgins for a lack of trying.

Meh. Google. Google really hasn't come out with anything innovative in quite awhile, while killing once innovative projects.
They probably had to find the key to get it to accept a command to restart and reread the key from ROM.
The only thing that has changed is that it is normal to declare thoughts that were previously unacceptable, like not wanting to work, the more publically the better. Personalities still vary (big five - conscienciousness), some people live to work, others dont, but the latter just dont shut up about it anymore.
that's in the US though

someone for the past week made $100k with elon verifed twitter crypto scam. way better than any salaried job. just do that for a job.

side hustles are better than jobs. Unless you work for google, jobs have low pay and too many restrictions and requiremnets. crypto, amazon, shopify mean more opportunities and control.
Laggy mouse is the surprising part I think. It used to be that you could count on the mouse still moving smoothly even when the rest of the system was falling to pieces. I understand this was because the mouse was a hardware-rendered sprite controlled by hardware interrupts. I don't claim to understand the details, but my impression is things have changed a lot.
Finally! And we didn’t even kill work this time!
Why do you think the french mindset is wrong?

I didn't find a great up to date source, but the latest number I saw - French median wealth is almost 3 times Germany. That's with the Germans earning more on average, working more, working longer and getting lower pensions.

Look at the decline of labour share.

We are outcompeting us to death. If French people work more, what are the Germans to do? Work even more? We will end up in a spiral.

How do you motivate people to work harder for less money? Just to make the economy happy? What's in it for the people?
Yes that correct, we basically have a considerable amount of experience with Microsoft licensing and by merging that knowledge about selecting the right licenses and approaching several providers we are able to lower the costs considerably .

I think you are on point with the logo, I’ll have to design one and concentrate on better explaining on how we relate to clients and suppliers and Microsoft themselves .

Thanks a lot
> But that's not a regular listening to music situation.

We are in a thread about audiophiles. Which I personally identify as (though in the sense of "I care about sound over style", not "I'll spend $5000 power conditioner, I mean, power regenerator").

> the problem there is that matching your hearing and physical comfort are not always to be found in the same brand

There's thousands of brands, each with dozens of offerings. It's easier than you might think to find a set of comfortable headphones that sounds good out of the box. The first trick is to avoid the style brands, since they will favor exceptionally heavy bass since it "sounds good". Beats, Skullcandy, Bose (which is a shame, they used to sound a lot better until recently), etc. Bass is rarely where you lose hearing first.

Personally, I recommend starting here, and look for a "Neutral" or "Bright Neutral" signature.

If anyone is still thinking of joining Amazon, take a close look at your team. If you're the only local at your level and not willing to grind as hard as the Visa holders then you're probably being setup as the sacrificial goat for the PIP gods.

In that situation it's not worth joining since within a year you'll probably need to start interviewing again.

COL and everything, 135K is like the 1% in Spain.

On topic: I have the same feeling. I'm trying to get a dev job, that would be a huge jump of income for me. But I'm 34, how much should I grind just to get "entry-level" stuff?

I was pretty unmativated in my job, just coasting by and pretty much doing the bare minimum that allowed me to be in peace with myself. Remote work increased my productivity and my hapiness overall, but it's still insufficient to buy a home, I'm basically a rent slave.

If I get a dev job, it will probably mean 30-40k to me, here in Spain. Maybe 50K if I manage to climb the ladder, given I'm 34.

With that income I can buy a flat (not a house) in my mid-sized spanish city, but that's about it.
I agree with you 100%. I just want something that stores files and works with SFTP and NFS out of the box. I get so annoyed every time I have to use S3 manually.

However, there is a post on this site that has become infamous in which a commenter questions the need for Dropbox when stuff like SFTP already exists.
What you may not know is that none of those tribes honor that requirement, much like California for 30 years.

There's no "complex soverignity" here. US marijuana law entrenches a great many casually illegal things because nobody's powerful enough to fix them through the DEA budget.

Highlights include that marijuana is on the schedule 1 list under two different names, and extacy 3; that marijuana is also on the schedule 2 list, despite that nothing is permitted to be on multiple schedules ever; and that the entire prohibition was never legal in the first place, as it's just Nixon's extension of the illegal tax stamp scheme.

You'll have a very hard time convincing anyone with even a passing familiarity with the law that American marijuana laws are a good example of a system working as expected.

Also, since you seem to be holding yourself up as a knowledgeable expert, the state level requirement was stricken in 2020, and a pact with the tribes was signed a month and a half ago

Not only is your example incorrect; it's also not true anymore
I think I've had my Bose 25s about 8 years, replaced the pads a couple of times but other than that they've worked well
I have super bivalent opinions about Intel. This is the opposite of ambivalent, it means heavily charged in both directions, but cancellation is not allowed.

So that's why they should have let all their chips do ECC instead of making it a premium feature, it would have been better for their brand as "Chipzilla" and had no real cost. And it's dangerous! In fact a soft-error at sea level killed an operating system update on me, lost about tens of thousands of data and money. I have standing to sue Intel, until this sentence clause in which I hereby forfeit the suit, together with requesting them to reconsider ECC (error correction codes) in all their chips as a safeguard needed due to Moore's Law, which was their business plan. Just give it a thought, Intel.
For a laptop with >15 Watt peak consumption, a fan based design is easier to get working on the first attempt: maybe the fan will rotate faster than strictly necessary, but it will work.

On the other end, it generally takes a couple of iterations to get a fan-less design right, because you can't simply slap an oversized heatsink into a mobile device.
