3m is beyond the max cable length specified by Thunderbolt, so it requires active extenders (they're hidden in the plugs) and tight manufacturing and shielding. You're paying extra for the ability to break that max length spec, and it's one of only a handful of products that do it.

The only other one I'm aware of is the Corning Active Optical Cable series which costs $360 for a 10m Thunderbolt 3 cable or $479 for a 30m cable, or $215 for a 10m Thunderbolt 2 cable (ie slower and different connector, potentially needs a $50 converter on each end). Also those Corning cables have a reputation for failing barely out of warranty even if they are treated very delicately. Amazon reviews are full of "my cable failed 1 year and 1 month after purchase and Corning told me to go eat a dick" type reviews.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1577008-REG/optical_c...

Also, just FYI, but max length spec on a USB 4 cable (which will support Thunderbolt-like features) is 0.8m and you'll need to use special cables to get the full capabilities there too, you can't just use a $15 usb-c to usb-c cable you bought off amazon. Just like some usb-c cables only support usb 2.0 speeds, you won't get full-duplex 40gbps signaling out of a 10gbps half-duplex USB 3.1 cable. USB certification isn't magic, these are physics-based electrical/RF problems here and high-capability cables/devices require more expensive implementations.

But anyway go ahead and click through that B+H link and look through their thunderbolt 3 cable category for another 3-meter cable. You won't find any. If 2 meters is not enough... your options are Apple, Corning, or nothing.

The Apple premium is still a thing, but I'd expect competitors to clock in around $100 if/when they come out. There is always a steep price inflection once you move from passive cables to active cables or fiber. If you can avoid that, great, use a shorter cable. If you can't, you have to pay up. Not everyone can just move everything closer (eg running through walls) and it's always so disappointing to see people arguing against consumers having options just because they don't personally need them. No one is making you buy this, but the people who do now have an option they didn't before. That "if I'm not interested in a product then it shouldn't exist at all!" mindset seems to be extremely pervasive in the tech space and I just don't get it, not every product has to be aimed at you personally. It's "center of the universe syndrome" as one of my teachers liked to call it.

I've looked at the Corning cables for setting up a Vive Wireless Adapter that can be in a different room from my desktop rig (adapter goes in a Thunderbolt enclosure, mounted on the wall, thunderbolt optical cable goes through the walls...) but the price and the failures kinda scared me off. I get that this won't work for normies, but personally I'd prefer to have the transceivers and the fiber be separate so I can replace one or the other if needed. Shipping it pre-assembled is fine but given we're talking about a $500 investment here I'd want it to not break in a year or at least to be semi-repairable if it does.

"Sadly, online attacks and threats have become the new normal in many newsrooms, with the result being that journalists are subject to a form of mob censorship."

Do similar tasks exist that would apply more generally to picking up any programming language? Working on non-trivial projects seems to be a great way of learning new languages and tools, and I wonder if there are a set of projects that would touch on a decent chunk of a what is offered by a typical language.

Then again, every language has its strengths and weaknesses so perhaps such projects do not exist?

You communicated poorly, in being (almost deliberately) unaware of what context others might lack. That error followed a pattern that others often make. I pointed out why it is an error so that you, and those others, can avoid it. And then, in doing so, I got you to reveal context your original comment needed.

Yes, I absolutely feel like I contributed here, and that you made the forum just a little bit worse with your original reply and contempt for discussion quality. Do you see why I might think that?

To give an ultra-charitable answer: A government could say "we're giving the option to mint your title as an NFT, and whoever holds the NFT will be treated as the title holder. This probably wouldn't work for titles in any current country for a variety of reasons (liens, taxes, etc) - but you could image doing it on a smaller scale with a less-important asset, like a concert ticket.

That said, I'm not aware of anywhere this is being done.

If an identifier clashes, you get a compile time ambiguity error. It means `is_OK` and `isOk` will report ambiguous identifiers and force you to qualify it or rename it.

This also helps further reduce ambiguity indirectly by forcing sensible naming.

What sort of equipment, FDA regulations and funding do I need?
Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying!
Yeah, well what I want is a (physical, literal) membership card like I have at the gym or library. I think "regular" people can learn to use USB tokens, and that they might make more intuitive sense than passwords. These places don't challenge me for the "secret password" when I come in, I just present or scan my card.

It's very tricky obviously, in terms of engineering and operations, for an internet based company to arrange anything similar. But I don't think it's too mentally foreign for the user (assuming we develop good standards).

So cards make sense to me. Way more sense than passwords. Maybe someone else feels more comfortable with the details living inside their phone, but that doesn't affect my mental model. Users don't need to understand or be taught the entire standard.
Thanks for the kind words. The same for me, I used to use this at least weekly, but now I'm lucky if I open it in a month (although regular board games are coming back to my life).

Hi, speaker in that linked video here :)

A lot has changed at Heroku in the past 8 years since I left, particularly in the direction of being subsumed into the greater Salesforce org. My working assumption is that everything left there is being done "the Salesforce way" at this point. Take that to mean what you will, but it seems pretty clear we're long past the days of openly communicating with customers as quickly as you have relevant/important information to share with them.
I totally believe the Chinese-WHO with whatever they say and data they publish. They wouldn't lie.
Not necessarily. The firm I work at has been collaborating with firms like Gartner since we exited stealth, and most of our competitors also started chatting with them at similar stages (Series A-C). It's not that difficult for early stage companies to be a part of the conversations ASSUMING they made sure to make analyst relations an important part of their GTM strategy.

I should add Nominal vs Raw vs Effective speed to the table.

Can you confirm with the rule to be used.

Raw Speed = Nominal / Encoding

UMS Speed = Raw / UMS overhead

In the case of 3.0 that would be:

Nominal = 625 MiB/s

Raw = 625 - 20% = 500 MiB/s

UMS = 500 - 20% = 400 MiB/s

Personally, I think there is a level of fatigue that has set in. Post 9/11 Americans had a lot of their innocence taken away from them as various leaks ( including Assange's, Snowden's and others' ). Note that I say Americans, because it is genuinely difficult for me to gauge it elsewhere ( and quite frankly, I might be wrong about US too ).

I could offer anecdotes, but my interactions with my social circles more and more indicate 'well, duh' to stories like this and not post-1981 book reading horror of realization that humans can be quite horrible to one another. And, well, since it is clear now that some information is suppressed and some is heavily promoted -- the distrust of general populace appears to be quite high.

And this is yet another reason why I constantly argue against the temptations of censorship. That said, this is the path we are on.

So to answer your question. No, I don't think it is sinister at all. It is just the current state of affairs. Some subjects are more risky than others.

Eh, in psychology the default is "nothing ever happens ever". No one ever changes, no effect lasts, and nothing ever replicates. There are all sorts of "intuitive" results which utterly fail to replicate, so I'd be surprised if things are better when you can't do a real study even in principle. I suppose I might just be jaded from the replication crisis, but my expectation is that things mostly just kind of happen. It's why I left for the gentle shores of math, where things work exactly as much as any pure math can be said to work.

You likely have a confidentiality clause in your contract.

> Today, only approximately 16.5% of active GitHub users and 6.44% of npm users use one or more forms of 2FA.

That's atrociously low. I know it's caveat emptor when it comes to FOSS, particularly as the nominal price is usually $0, but that really needs to be bumped up for anyone that is publishing packages to a public registry.

I hope they both mandate it for NPM and publicly flog^Wflag any existing accounts as "2FA Not Enabled" so that users can use that information to make their own choices about which dependencies to include in their projects.
In my case it wouldn't anyway. Almost all of my 2FA is tied to my password manager as well. I am sure I am not alone in this. It is kind of scary to think about though.
Do content creators have ask area to manage whatever songs they upload to Spotify? I actually don’t know! But if they do, I could see the need for 2FA on the content creator side.

> Anyone can review, but the relative weight of each review is biased according to that reviewer's reputation, which in turn is based on the collective value of the reviews they have received.

Someone could be very good at reviewing papers but not particularly skilled at original research, or vice versa. They're different skill sets.

Also, giving the most cited authors the most power would have a homogenizing effect: the best way to get ahead would then be to push things that support the viewpoints of those currently at the top of the field.
