It doesn’t matter if fetuses are people. What does matter is if people who don’t want to be pregnant are people. Because abortion ban denies them their right to decide about their bodies.

Abortion ban is just yet another form of religiously motivated organized stupidity. It’s no different from LGBT discrimination.
IKEA says they support Zigbee but they don't work well

Aqara has plenty of "known" issues regarding Zigbee compatibility

any device that supports it (and they're a lot) will work with every other device

You sure about that?
OK, reading the comments it is a totally different product, but I guess I have to try it!

"Zero config VPN. Installs on any device in minutes, manages firewall rules for you, and works from anywhere."

Okay... at first I said to myself, _no way_. But then I thought, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
That's true although in my discussions with university administration, there is a causal arrow that points a bit in the other direction too. I've had conversations with university presidents and other administration (in semi-private contexts) where it's basically stated "we don't need to advocate for state funding because we can sustain ourselves on federal funds."

I note this not to criticize the administration (although you can do that), but to point out that this dynamic has repercussions in terms of incentives. If you're a university president or provost and getting pressure from a conservative legislature to not depend on public funding (which really means "state funding" to them, but that's another discussion), and all of a sudden the federal government becomes this cash flow source, you're going to run to it, and leverage that as "being a good citizen" with the legislature. I think the causal directions go in both ways and have these kind of amplifying effects.
I don't see anything wrong with this. We regularly see YC companies getting upvoted.
Companies don't want someone who is capable of picking up x no problem. They only want someone who already has a job doing x.
Funny, I used smokeping to run regular speedtests on top of pings to establish the cable connection in my neighbourhood was oversubscribed (daily slowdown to a crawl during work hours in WFH mandate, order of magnitude increased ping during the day time vs e.g 3 a.m.). Changed connection/provider and would consistently get max speeds and more consistent ping.
Ah, that sucks :( I have those sensors and work fine, but I don't use a repeater... Too bad that compatibility isn't great.

In C++, anyway, the same code -- destructors -- gets run for throws as for normal exits, so almost everything is tested all the time in normal operation.
None if it was common 100 years ago even 'just'.

Maybe indoor plumbing - but that was only 'kind of common' in the cities, not in rural areas, and cities weren't even quite half the population, tipping point for even that wasn't for a few more decades. Radios were just starting, they were not common.

Space flight is not the significant 'thing' of the 20th century.

It's just an experiment.

We are not going to colonize Mars or travel the Solar System in any meaningful way for a long time.

Life on Mars would be brutal and inhumane - locked in a dormitory forever? We will put a few people there, but that's it probably for many decades.

We could have feasibly done this on the Moon already - we haven't because it's just too expensive for not much benefit.

Maybe mining some asteroids.

Otherwise, nothing hugely meaningful is going to happen in space, it's just too empty, too difficult and the benefits are marginal.

Meanwhile on earth, the pace of 'change' is nothing like we've seen it before.
Perhaps we need better tools for helping manual code review. Detecting high-entropy strings would be a useful semi-automated check to find obfuscated code and accidentally-committed secret keys.

I think there should also be a culture of ensuring that a new patch release of some software passes the acceptance tests of the previous patch release (without changing or removing the tests).

A similar test for linting rules should also help (especially if those rules are designed to prevent Unicode homoglyph attacks), and a check for new uses of dangerous APIs like filesystem or network access would assist reviewers too.

Of course there is almost unlimited potential for underhanded code, if an attacker is skilled and patient enough to carefully introduce subtle bugs over time, but I think that a meaningful number of attacks could be avoided with these measures in place.
Thank you for this list!

The grand vision is a reimagined interface (keeping some familiar things like keyframes and curves, but moving other things forward.) Without getting too deep into the buzzword weeds, I'm hoping to weave in more ML / generative modeling technologies.

Ex-Googler here. The comment above is wrong and sexist.

Googleyness was always about bringing up the people around you and elevating your team’s potential, something that both women and men can excel at.

I have a lot of complaints about Google’s perf process, but I never saw toxic masculinity, competitiveness or putting down co-workers. On the teams I was part of, if any of that happened it would have been dealt with harshly and stopped immediately.
Where I work, we still do all those things, but it's academia. POD is pretty high unit cost. Good luck with that.
You can get insurance on anything you want. However the more unknowns there are, the more they will charge. You can get fire insurance that will cover even if you burn your house down - but it will cost you (not having insurance and burning your house down might cost $.01 more than buying insurance)
But HOW can this work? It MUST have config level access to each machine, that's the only way I can see this working. I guess I just have to try it to see.

Are they adding costs? The baseline of ~3% to wire money seems already high.

SafeGraph Says Will No Longer Sell Planned Parenthood Visitors' Location History
Agreed.

I think about Eli Goldratt's The Goal all the time.

Paraphrasing: A team (system) is only as fast as its slowest member (task); to speed up the team, focus on making the bottle neck faster.

Said another way, Goldratt also explains how a process that outpaces the others works to slow down the system overall. Local optimization leads to gloal inoptimization.

Pretty basic queue theory stuff. This aspect is aka Theory of Constraints.

Anyhoo. I don't buy most "10x programmer" tales. I just wonder who's on the receiving end of such awesomeness. And at what cost.
You are correct to say there is no excuse for the lack of upgradability, but not for the reasons you believe.

There is no excuse because “excuses” are not germane to making trade offs. Apple chose to not make devices easily upgradable because it enabled them to be amazing in other dimensions (sturdiness, manufacturing efficiency, design, aesthetics, plus most users don’t give a flying fuck about upgrading)

Why would you need an excuse for defining your own products your way?

That's about normal for the publishing industry. 10-15% for hardcovers and 7-10% for paperbacks. It's also normal to be paid an advance against the royalties, so you may not even see any royalty checks if the book doesn't sell enough.

Here are model terms from the Author's Guild: https://go.authorsguild.org/contract_sections/5

Musicians are paid around 10% by labels as well.
Czech republic is a solid choice, but beware there has been a massive Russian propaganda/disinformation campaign going on for decades (not as strong as in Donetsk, but recently growing rapidly). There is also a sizeable opposition against this disinformation pandemic. A couple of years ago a Russian sabotage got an ammunition house exploded and that was when people started talking more about Russians agents in Europe.

Sudetenland, on the other hand, I have never heard to be a big problem post WWII and Velvet Revolution.

> when we pull the crown all the way out to enter the time setting mode, that stop lever blocks the balance wheel, which stops the watch in an action known as hacking

Someone should re-invent critical thinking.
Repeaters and a need for repeaters is a whole other can of worms for Zigbee. I've had to purchase and deliberately place some repeaters to get better coverage across the house, or else I end up with unreachable devices. And because of how the mesh works, you might have to reset devices to try and coax the mesh to rebuild if you move anything around. It's overall been a much more buggy setup than my wifi subnetwork.
You can negotiate insurance for just about anything (there are sometimes laws against things like taking out life insurance policies against a third party, but none that would apply here). No doubt the insurance company would insist on various forms of audits, similar to what the government insists of for cost plus contracts today. Probably the most successful contractors wouldn't pay an insurance company for this, because it's a stupid model for contracts that wastes resources, but it wastes no more resources than having the government play the role of the insurance company.
I'm genuinely worried for that guy. He's exposing powerful connected people and I can't really see that end well. It's not like people retweeting and liking his tweets have any sort of power like what is alleged.
> Someone with some time could correlate SMART data to failure rate.

We looked into it a little, some notes written up here: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/what-smart-stats-indicate-har...

Short summary is there are a few SMART stats that seem to predict failure way more than others, which is probably obvious. But we aren't PhDs in statistics and it isn't our area of focus, so....

This guy wrote a paper based on the Backblaze SMART data: https://etd.ohiolink.edu/apexprod/rws_etd/send_file/send?acc...

These 5 guys wrote another paper based on the Backblaze SMART data to train up a Bayesian network to predict failures: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8489097

This is another article of predicting hard drive failures using the Backblaze SMART data: https://karthikna.github.io/Prediction-of-Hard-Drive-Failure...

I can't comment on their findings, but it's DEFINITELY an interesting thing to study now that we have almost 10 years of these drive stats across a pretty big drive farm.
> I guess you could switch the process to "promo after N years of not being fired at your current level" but that seems even worse.

Ex googler here, and when I was there 4 years ago this was true of L3 and L4. My entire team was L3's and L4's. We spent literally all of our time on projects with no meaningful impact on the company, but that made for promo packets.

6 engineers focused on rewriting the form to input credit cards on YouTube for 3 years. Completely insane.
Right. Including the invisible fees (due to increased BTC supply accruing to the miners), a transaction right now costs around USD 100. As the mining reward drops, either miners make less (good, they'd stop wasting), or fees paid by the user would have to increase substantially. If users don't pay up, there'd be much less hash power devoted to the system, rendering it insecure.
And all of those are likely to trigger further sanctions.
This is great. I am going to borrow it.

It's been a while, but I think I didn't bother going any further back because Mosaic was the last time the user agent string that made sense. After that we got "Mozilla" and things started going crazy.

Upvoted because I agree but it's not always this cut and dry. I can't speak for climate research (I imagine it's mostly computer sims so maybe a building is a waste), but for bio research lab space is nearly as important as personnel.
Which can be done via UPnP and PCP, and without having to maintain TURN/STUN/etc infrastructure. The latter of which can only be done with IPv6, since with IPv4 you're NATing.

So IPv6 makes things easier—which was the point of my post: IPv6 makes things easier.
> I'll never understand how macOS has kept the "it just works" moniker. That may have used to been the case, but honestly, in my experience, it is Windows that just works.

This 100%. On Windows, I can just plug in the monitor cable (any cable, not just the ones that work with Apple products) and it just works perfectly. It baffles me that Apple has just ignored thousands of complaints about Mac's incompatibility with most external monitors over the years. When trying to find a solution for the blurry and fuzzy text in my setup, I found threads and forum discussions going all the way back to 2009!! More than a decade later and Apple has not only fixed this issue, but in fact they removed the "Font Smoothing" option, making things worse. Most people that I talk to agree on this problem, and they say they just stopped using their Mac with an external monitor altogether. The crazy part is even if you get the resolution on the external monitor right, there's no way to turn off Mac's internal display! On Windows, I can simply choose "Second Screen Only" and it just works. On Mac, you have to manually turn the brightness down to zero on the internal display, which doesn't really solve the issue because macOS still renders an additional Retina display which you're not using, leading to waste of system resources. Some people say their solution is to use their MBP in clamshell mode, but in my experience, that causes heating problems, no matter how good Macs are at heat management.

Plus, on Mac, my BlueTooth keyboard asks for setup configs every time I reboot, something I never experienced with Windows.

To be honest, as soon as Asahi Linux becomes ready, I'll ditch macOS asap. It's a shame that so much hardware power (M1 chips) is being wasted on an OS that claims to be the most advanced in the world, and yet it fails to properly drive external monitors.

And did I mention that you cannot control external monitor's speakers in Mac? You have to install third-party apps (some paid and closed-source) to do that. What a nightmare.
Clubhouse reminds me of 2018 when a lot of PR went into trying to make voice search and Alexa Skills a thing.

Of course Twitter Spaces took the wind out of their sails, but what purpose does Clubhouse serve besides being a broadcast megaphone for the already internet-popular 5% of people. Is everyone else supposed to just be the audience, or attempt to chase clout themselves?

But if your tool is a non-licensed piece of software that then puts the company on the hook because you used it without people whose purview it is to know these things can cause problems.

I 100% understand the frustration of working in a place where lawyers "introduce drag". Lawyer's job isn't to make your job harder/easier, but to protect the company from whatever. Sometimes whatever turns out to be the "well intended" employee. Part of the friction in these situations are very zealous people wanting to do things while they are so scoped in on their task that they are unawares of the larger consequences to the company no matter how well intentioned they may be. As I've become older, I can corrolate that friction with youth. That coefficient of friction becomes smaller with age/experience. It has nothing to do with levels of caring/apathy, but from experiencing the negative affect of "move fast, break things" and being willing to tap the breaks a little bit while changing altitude to see a bigger picture.

It's easy to get started, but the issues come mostly from managing that "just a config file" over time.

Have a bunch of new nodes? Replacing a lighthouse? Revoking and replacing certs?

Here's a mistake that I made personally. Did you read the docs fully and realize that the default expiration for a CA is one year? The same is true for certificates. You need some kind of tooling to rotate certs every year, by default, or one day you'll find your entire overlay network disappears.

What about the ACL lists? Well, they're just stored in that same config file. What if you add a new service you didn't count on initially? Or you have a new class of clients?

What if your lighthouse needs to change its IP address? Or you need to retire and replace it outright?

And if you have hosts coming and going a lot, suddenly managing all those configuration files looks like quite a pain indeed...

None of this is unsolvable - assuming you have root on all the nodes you care about. You could even create tooling to automate these things with some kind of configuration management system (which indeed, if you are deploying to more than a handful of systems, you basically must do). But these pain points will eventually add up if you are just trying to connect to friends.

This only works if the bids represent the same work, at the same quality, on the same delivery schedule, with the same feedback pathways and the same risk mitigations.

In other words, it is the “spherical cow” of contracting.
I'm happy that the Clubhouse format hasn't caught on.[1]

- I hated listening to discussions at specific times and having to schedule my time around it, missing out when something happened in another time zone, etc.

- I hated not being able to rewind when I misunderstood something, not being able to pause and think, not being able to return to something afterwards for reference.

- I hated the inaccessibility of it.

For audience participation I much prefer a podcast which is recording with a live chat room or a twitch stream that is saved as a VoD.

I don't think this trend of making content available only temporarily (seen also in Instagram/Facebook stories) is even good for privacy - if it makes people feel they can share something they normally wouldn't.

[1] I know about Twitter Spaces, but I haven't come across any yet. When Clubhouse came, suddenly everything around me was happening on Clubhouse.
Within the last few months, I believe it was version 1.6 or 1.8.

Yeah, that never happened.

How close is Python SQLite and Datasette Lite to accessing a hosted SQL database using HTTP range requests as can be done in sql.js like https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs?

I put together a Pyodide-based web app where users need a few indexed queries from a 600mb SQLite database but it isn't very practical for them to download the whole thing into the browser. I would datasettify it and access it by API, if I wasn't relying on a pyodide library that needs direct SQLite access.

Last time I used Amazon Prime Video, around 2017, it would show info that Amazon deemed relevant for that bit of the show (apparently it's called X-Ray).

X-Ray still exists, but the only way I've ever seen it used is to tell you what the background music is, and the names of all the actors in a scene. But even then, it is often incomplete.
Honestly as someone who went to FAANG after graduation and worked on a bunch of different teams: my number one advice if you want interesting problems is to avoid working on web apps/web services and avoid any roles doing frontend/backend development

That area of software is very advanced at this point and even at FAANG you're mostly just wiring together services/libraries.

You might think "Well what about huge scale services?, that must be interesting?" Eh, not really. It just means more partitioning of data/traffic, more hosts, and more time writing pipeline/automation code.

I would recommend finding a more niche area you are interested in, for example: game development, game engines, image processing, machine learning, operating systems, graphics, VFX, audio/DSP, high performance computing, GPU related stuff, embedded systems, robotics, etc...
