There are protocol limitations here. There have been very recent advances, that bring us to 40~60 ms, but they all root in Bluetooth 5 (officially announced july 2016 but holy fucking shit this adoption has been trashfire slow especially on pc) and it's incredibly confusing/difficult to understand which if any codecs have been able to take advantage of this possibility. It'd take me probably an hour to put together the basics on how available this is right now.

But that should not affect your use case; playing movies should work fine, period, end of statement. The fact that there is latency to your speaker is something that an bluetooth or other audio pipeline should know, should be able to compensate for. PulseAudio (which your music players are almost certainly using, under pipewire or other) has great understanding of latency built in. If you do experience big audio latency, open up pavucontrol & adjust your device's latency, and that problem should go away. It should be semi-stable. But pulseaudio & pipewire both should, in a wide range of cirumstances, understand what the expected latency is & "just work."

If you are on a videoconference, however, knowing that there's a second of latency doesn't help, won't bring things closer to real-time. It's still gonna be terrible. Newer specs, newer codecs could help significantly, but the audio daemon won't be able to help. Pulseaudio did have higher latency by default, tuneable (i think i'd tuned to using 2 frames of 16ms each = 32ms, pretty aggressive), but I think they've trimmed it significantly in very recent releases, but pipewire's architecture has allowed it to be significantly more aggressive.
Fair enough.

> Also the cost of doing something so small can add up when you can have a cushy tech job making 200K relatively easy.

The point being relatively easy if you fit a specific criteria (don't need flexibility, want to work long hours, have a above average CV, can live near a major tech hub, have no problem working for FAANG etc).
My plan is entirely unrealistic. Neither party would ever agree to engage with the process because they fundamentally do not want competitive races. It’s essentially asking for mutual disarmament.
> If you are turned around and refused entry, what you plan to do is illegal

That's... an overstatement. Asking weird questions that indicate a risk of tourist visa overstays which nobody else bothers to ask (even if it is perfectly legal) will put you at risk of rejection, whether or not the law allows what you're trying to do.
You could buy a used one where someone else already pressed "agree" on the purported contract. Installable software is only able to push bullshit EULAs on the theory that the installation process involves making a copy, which they claim requires an explicit license to do. But using a device with already installed embedded software doesn't involve making any copies of the software, and thus you don't need a license - rather you're buying the installed copy under the first sale doctrine.

But ultimately this is an abstract debate, because the main point of EULAs is to disclaim legal liability for the company, as contrasted with creating it for the user. Even if you do manage to avoid entering into their bullshit contract, the company will do whatever it wants with your data, and it will be up to you to sue them. Part of that uphill battle will be proving you didn't assent to their bullshit.

So really, like always, an end user's protection is ultimately of a technical nature. If the camera (or accompanying desktop software) does not have Internet access, then there is no way for RED to backhaul your footage and there is no issue to be worried about. If the camera does have Internet access, then your data will easily leave your control, and that's the real flaw with the product to focus on!
So they went from 500 at 2016 to 3500$ at 2021. Not sure why they cannot hit 500 again?

Swift Playgrounds is pretty cool.
Even in rural areas you can no longer get the same house that your parents had for the equivalent money.

My parents have an extremely nice house on a beautiful 60 acre piece of land. My dad did water & sewer work and my mom worked part time when we were young and later worked as a postmaster.

My wife and I both have degrees and jobs that pay way better after accounting for inflation, and our house is absolute shit by comparison. My parent’s house and land is worth millions. My wife’s parents did what is pretty standard around here and built on a lake, also with low paying jobs. Their home is probably worth close to a million or so as well.
Black doesn't split strings, and I doubt they'd choose to use concatenation if they did.

>It is not.

>... nowhere it says you have to receive threats first before requesting removal.

Oh come on now, this is taken directly from your link:

>Requirements to remove doxxing content

>For us to consider the content for removal, it must meet both of these requirements:

>1. Your contact info is present.

>2. There’s the presence of:

>- Explicit or implicit threats, or

>- Explicit or implicit calls to action for others to harm or harass.

So, yes. To remove doxxing content, you are required to show proof of explicit or implicit threats.

If you think about it, the way the requirements are set up are pretty damn backwards. Are you just requesting your personal info to be removed just for the sake of having it removed? Sure, as long as it's your CC/bank account/SSN/whatever else on that list, they'll remove it. But if you tell them you're being doxxed? Well fuck you, they won't just up and remove the data like they would've before, now you have to prove you're being targeted, too. It's like it'd be easier to have the doxxing content removed if you didn't tell them you're being doxxed.
Agree! If the only way to test these technologies was at a massive scale, I’d be worried. But they can all be tested at a small scale. That’s the other logical fallacy: e.g., just because the intention is large scale deployment doesn’t mean the testing requires large scale deployment.

So, to your point, we really need to be investing in testing these different possibilities. Meanwhile, many scientists are trying to ban research in the area. I don’t get it. https://climateandcapitalism.com/2022/01/17/climate-scientis...
Those sites are low quality and it's often easy to get much better free data. SF recorder's publicly posted property records, searchable by name, for example. There are also numerous private databases with high quality data which certainly don't want to be indexed. Your info being on those public sites (which isn't very meaningful due to how many errors they have) is mostly a symptom of how easily available it is, rather than a source to be plugged. Suppressing it may make it slightly harder for an uncommitted nutcase to track you down, but won't make much of a difference overall. Going from a name to much more info is very easy in the general case, and if it isn't, there won't be valid info on those sites.
No, but a significant cause of current staffing shortages are stagnant wages (especially for non-travel nursing roles).

Hospitals paying decent wages to full-time/permanent staff would go a long way towards solving staffing shortages.
They do get reviewed manually. I would imagine in the grand scheme of things, not many people would ever submit it.

Scaling it wouldn't be hard regardless, this would be very basic task based work, that they would hire out to India or via companies that handle this sort of work.
You won't get your mitts on their video rental records. We need another embarrassing data breach to get more protections.
Attractive Tag Line for New App. What's Your Opinion?
Hi IH's,

I am launching a new app soon. My primary competitor is meetup. Or you can say I am the primary competitor :)

Someone suggested me this tagine:

"I got the advice to make the payoff more solution state oriented (what great feeling are you going to give your customers).

Here is a stab at it:

Around - Event & Community Management "Have all your fans one click away"

What is your opinion on this one? Should I use it, or do you have more mind-boggling ideas?
Before we can solve "moderation," we need to be clear what the goal is. Twitter has very handy Unfollow and Block features. Therefore, moderation on Twitter means stopping people from saying things to people who want to hear those things.

This raises an obvious question. If the people hearing the ideas manifestly want to hear them, who is being served by the moderation?

One possibility is the moderator. It's evident that Twitter executives, or people who influence them, don't want certain ideas to spread. But why? One possibility is that they believe these ideas to be false or "harmful" (whatever that means).

They believe the the masses are easily duped and that counter-arguments are unlikely to be sufficiently persuasive. If only a minority of people are easily duped, then false ideas tend to burn out within a small radius as they are exposed to counter-argumentation and common sense.

But if the masses are putty in the hands of bad idea creators, then a wise and disinterested moderator has a role to play. He can spot the bad idea and cut it off before it spreads.

But can a wise and disinterested moderator exist? If company executives faced no outside pressures, then it's theoretically possible. But we can see clearly this does not exist in the real world. The US Congress and Whitehouse have not been shy about making very specific moderation demands of Twitter, backed by serious and credible threats. As a result, correct ideas are bound to be moderator out and bad ideas allowed to spread.

(A few hundred years of political philosophy, as captured in the founding documents of the US, make it clear why we don't want government to play any moderation role whatsoever.)

In my opinion, the wisdom of the masses combined with opportunities for vigorous counter beats centralized moderation by a very large margin.
> What reputation hit? The past 20 years of tech has shown that people in general don't care about privacy.

I don't think reputation is really an issue for most major companies at all. People can't keep up on every sin committed by corporations and quickly forget.

Gerber and Beech-Nut have been found to sell baby food full of heavy metals. Literal poisons in dangerous amounts spoon fed into the mouths of our children, but they haven't gone out of business. DuPont knowingly poisoned people (and ultimately every last one of us) but somehow that doesn't matter. They're still operating and profiting. There are countless examples of companies who have done plainly evil things leading to deaths and suffering and yet they face zero meaningful consequences. Not from government, and not from people "voting with their wallet"

Companies only seem to care about their reputation because it can have an impact on profits in the short term which happens to be what many companies are overly focused on anyway. Don't want stock prices to drop even a little for a few months before everyone moves on to the next scandal.
Yeah... computers are hard sometimes.

If you want to read and write files, there are plenty of operating system APIs to do it super simple. If you want low level access to file systems and to get into the complex parts... well WebDAV sucks because the underlying problems of file systems suck.
Interesting a story like this pops up and no one seems to care but a guy buys Twitter and there are 5000 heated comments. I can't tell if it's just because we're so beaten down by the unstoppable and never ending betrayals by government, a completely screwed up sense of priorities, or both.
It's in an established and competitive market. There's money flowing into companies doing this same thing. An investor throwing (some) capital at marketing and growth for this totally functional (and beautiful) product could have made sense.
I don't know much about weapons, I'm European and we don't have much of them, but regardless of the definitions a gun is meant to kill people it has no other uses other than hunting. I find it very effective how in US the discourse can be shifted to which tools to kill should be limited more or less, rather than considering if society wouldn't be better off without them.

US police is violent, but how terrifying it can be when every car you pull for a routine control may contain a person who may shoot you?
I will tag along here - with some details on my experience as well as looking for better answers.

Things like Scratch, Python+Pygames etc make the initial hello-world style apps too easy and then there is a gigantic learning curve for anything better. It is very hard to keep the motivation going.

We tried codehs.com . Kids spend an excruciating amount of time trying to make the print statement's literal output match with whatever the code-checker is expecting. It is frustrating even for me to try to debug their code. I feel any kid who is learning coding without an IDE such as VsCode will get discouraged from this field.

I am just about to start a session for 8th grade graduates to introduce them to 'advent of code'. At least here, the right answer is just a number. No more worrying about the quote character being in unicode or text.

The one that got real interest from my students was a world-puzzle solver - to cheat the phone game "LetterPress" (free on iPhone and Android). They finally understood how a bot (official bot that you play against) could be so smart.

I am still on the lookout for such good examples that they can actually use in real life.
Your guess is as good as mine here. This phrase appears in Wikipedia but the citation in the article only supports the stuff in the quotation marks, not the phrase "master race":

> Maslow studied what he called the master race of people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people, writing that "the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy."[11]: 236
> …
> Maslow, A (1954). Motivation and personality. New York, NY: Harper. ISBN 978-0-06-041987-5.

I took a read through the text in question ( https://archive.org/details/motivationperson00masl_0 ) and while the quoted text seems to have been quoted accurately, the phrase "master race" doesn't appear in that book. What Maslow seems to be saying in that section (from an extremely quick skim) is that he is talking about the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, although he uses the phrase "healthy people" to refer to the people he's writing about.
I have asked Google (repeatedly) to remove roads on my private property from their Maps. Those roads still appear there, so I find it hard to believe they will honor these types requests either.

> > will require insurmountable efforts

regardless of whether or not you believe it's just "making that choice," completely discrediting somebody's claim the effort is insurmountable _to them_ makes you a breaker of Rule 1
No at all how that other reality where they didn't "turn off the buy button" would've worked out.

In that other reality you are proposing, Robinhood gets declared insolvent and enters into receivership at the market close. Your entire investment account gets frozen for a year or so, until the insolvency process is finalized, and you can finally get your assets back.
Netflix layoffs have started
> vinyl has a distinct sound

Aside from the cracks and pops, it's because it's mastered that way because of limitations of vinyl. But I agree that vinyl makes sense as the last physical medium because the playback technology is so simple and the covers make them large enough to be statement pieces.
The thing about BASIC was that you could just do something. You could try things easily and quickly. You could fiddle with things.

Of current environments, Python may come the closest. (Other environments have a REPL, which is a great environment, but "REPL + harsher learning curve" is not what you're looking for.)
You sure? I'm in the Midwest and absolutely surrounded by farms. Do you really think your beef, grains, and potatos don't come from the heartland? How in the world would that make sense?
It's a risk with any degree. Engineering degrees particularly have the problem that people go into them because their family pressures them to, they think it is a meal ticket, etc.

It might be worse in 2022 just because so many people are getting degrees in CS.

I was a little shocked to hear that my uni (Cornell) has 2000 majors in the CS, Information Science and Statistics and Data Science departments which are all under the CIS school.

There are multiple ways to succeed in CS though. At the PhD and professor level you get ahead in CS by going to conferences and presenting papers, not by writing code. Some academic CS people are great programmers, some of them aren't.

In industry it's the same thing: it takes different skills to develop software so somebody who is good at some things and not good at other things can have a successful career.

Computing is such a big field which is on a healthy growth trajectory so even if you are average or a little below average you have better career prospects than most people, it's not like being an actor where you need top rate talent and luck to get anything at all.
Java can literally hot-swap classes, how does it have a slower code-build-test cycle? It also has possibly the best debug mode and observability.
> In my view, our "tribes" broadly descend from pro- vs. anti-slavery camps

Fact: George Floyd wouldn’t have died if he didn’t resist arrest.

I’m certainly not pro-slavery, and agree people can be racist, but there is certainly something wrong if people can’t openly discuss taboo truths without being slighted as a racist themselves, utterly dismissed, or censored.
Exactly, and this is why the TOS mentioned in the comment is absurd. Basically that means that if the TOS is legally valid, then technically Google can force any arbitary terms on you if you simply put a website on the internet. This would be the same as saying that all citizens of America are subject to this agreement, whether if they've seen it or not.

This is worse than shrinkwrap agreements and TOS banners at the bottom of a website, since for those you could at least argue that the person who opened the box/visited the site saw the agreement. But in this case, there is absolutely nothing to indicate that the person who created the website even knew that Google as an entity existed.
> Do humans really review these requests manually? How would that scale?

A slow and frustrating process to stop displaying your private information does Google no harm, so the answer from their side is likely "who cares?"
It’s far less flexible of a system than firefly-iii.

That said it actually (lol) functions well with any amount of historical data. Firefly-iii slows to a crawl with just a few years of data.

Actual handles nearly a decade worth of data (imported from YNAB4) with ease.
Sodium sulfate (aka Glauber's salt, melts at about 32°C) heat-storage has been around a long time. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfate#Thermal_storage] It's already in wide use - the article hasn't enough detail to clarify any 'game-changing' advantages of their system.

> Syncing was broken for a really really long time. We finally reported it, and it was working the next time we checked.

Well they use Plaid, they aren't really responsible for syncing. Most competitor will also use Plaid and have the same issue sadly. Mine also stopped synced recently as my bank updated their website. It took a few weeks before it came back.

> So, their monitoring (if it exists) is not doing its job whatsoever,

Actually Plaid monitoring is quite good (for each bank you get the percent of failed queries), but how fast they react, well that's another ball game and I guess it depends on the amounts of users affected and the amount of works required to fix it.

I was considering working on my own opensource alternative to YNAB and that's why I looked a bit into Plaid. Now that Actual is open source, maybe I won't...

> I don’t treat a CC transaction any different from a cash transaction

Well they aren't different either... I treat both my cash and debit card transactions the same way I treat my credit cards transactions. I add them in their respective accounts and that's it (I only started adding them manually when my bank updated their website, it has gone better than I thought and decided to stay that way for now, never felt comfortable knowing Plaid had my banks credentials).

Maybe what you were confused with was the amounts shown on the Budget side? The credit cards categories act a tiny bit different than the actual categories. I know you said you had no interest in learning, but if you change your mind, I could try explaining how it works.

I guess an issue with credit cards is that it feel like it's actual money, but it's not. That doesn't goes well with zero based budgeting which depends on the fact that you already have the funds to pay for all your spending. You work with past money, not future one.
I was asking gp how it ties to what OP is talking about. I wasn't implying shouldn't have said that.

It is still my hope Elon will just dismantle Twitter and that is his first step in killing social media.
You’re not really addressing my point.

Wtf does “strong man” even mean? Is every blue collar worker, athlete, law enforcement, first responder, military personnel…etc a fascist to you?

Why not go a step further and just say all men are fascist? Are all the food eaters fascist too? I mean all the fascist ate food after all!
