I was thinking about writing a post apocalyptic novel a couple years back where a Russian hacking group manages to breach the John Deer network and take down every machine in the USA with an OTA update. The main character was trying to escape from San Francisco on a bicycle because all the gas dried up after a chain reaction of "Just in Time" supply shortages and California had banned private vehicles.

I'm terribly sorry to all, I apparently wrote it on a weird scroll because it keeps coming true bit by bit.

> Evening with batteries should have user replaceable batteries

There should be a law for this. Even for cellphones. When corporations market themselves as environmentally conscious, but don't allow the replacement of common wear items in their gadgets and products, then that's how you know they are full of shit.
Ideally, the expert's advice would be a product in itself.

For the expert to be incentivized to give unbiased* advice, 100% of their income needs to be from the customer, and 0% from the car maker. Which Bluntly put, this boils down to making marketing departments illegal.

(Note that a car magazine with ads, where the experts' income depends on both readers' eyeballs and car makers' money, is still way, way better than relying on car ads.)

* 'unbribed' would be more accurate, as there would still be some biases to make the readers feel happy to follow their advice, e.g. favouring short-term satisfaction over long-term safety, etc.
What do you think a petabyte of storage costs? SSDs currently start at $15k / PB and presumably Google’s pricing at volume is better.

Data transfer is priced by connection and not by bandwidth, so that cost will not scale linearly.

That's the thing that is missed about the US's governmental system. The House of Representatives has quick turnover, the Senate slower, and the Supreme Court, slowest. And their terms are staggered. It's all by design. It's tragic that the US and the UK are trying to turn the Senate and House of Lords into the same body as the House of Representatives and House Commons, respectively. It breaks a check on power and a pillar of stability.
In my experience, choose the most loud, Novell, fast activity out there.

Keeping their attention is the biggest hurdle. Small bit-size demonstrations.
Great notes, thank you! I would like to see this in a blog post sometime comparing with specific examples just how hard it is to get any useful messages from a parser generator and how easy it is when handwritten (which I'm more familiar with).

If you or anyone here happens to write this blog post before I do please send me a link when you do. :)
So I agree for just YouTube it would be excessive. But they do combo it with youtube music which makes it a slightly better deal. Also personally they have the best family plan since it allows 6 accounts total and doesn't require to be "Under the same roof" like spotify. But I agree I probably wouldn't find the full price outside of the family plan worth it.
Heck yes. Great work! I’ve always loved cloudflare workers and this is going to get me using them even more (mostly just edit in browser because I’m really really lazy)
When I was working in restaurants professionally and was asked what I did for a living, I told people "I cut and burn myself professionally".
I'd love this - simultaneously beneficial to consumers, improving the market (reducing information asymmetry), and not something that laissez-faire-market-types can complain about (because you're not restricting what sellers can do, technically - you're just forcing them to reveal more information about their product, and then it's market forces that actually deal the killing blow).

More ideas: "online account required for use", "collects location data", "phone call required to cancel subscription", "memory use: 350 MB" (just like calorie counts!), and so many others...
Nah, I'm not dismissive of it, it is extremely important. Self-love is critical to be able to love others. Still, my point is that compassion and actually helping people should be taught in parallel. It is better in a Sangha, of course, at least mutually.

Consider the story of Buddha’s Dog as my go-to story about how Buddhists are definitely saying you need to actually take action to help people in the world for your own self improvement, it's not enough to just feel sad about things and "want to help".

Maybe the problem is that the workers are worse, including management and CEO's. The quality of the American workforce is declining. This also puts a burden on unions because qualified and motivated people do not want to unionize with lazy and unproductive people.
Too lazy to look it up in my notes now, but as far as I understand:
1) Vitamin D is low in people with all kinds of bad conditions, including depression but also heart issues/etc.
2) Supplementing vitamin D is usually not found to do anything to improve these conditions, or the effects are ambiguous, limited and minor.

Clearly there's a 3rd variable. For lack of better options I call it "sun magic".
The good thing about this particular problem is that it will be corrected by the market mechanic regardless of what the government does. Companies have to compete for labor now - the landscape has changed. Some will not adapt and they'll go out of business. That's not to say that we shouldn't also explore policy action, but when workers have the upper hand it's probably best to let the market just figure it out, and then come in with policy after that.
Mercadolibre/Mercadopago.
My compelling reason is to discover if they're naturally "bent" toward programming. Neither you nor the child will know until they give it a try for long enough to make something meaningful. Then, if they find it exciting/interesting/motivating...it's time for more.

When I was 13, I found the process of web development incredibly fascinating AND had a teacher (who happened to be 14) who helped me get over the initial cognitive speed bumps. Those ~50 hours changed the course of my life.
This would be great, exactly what I need. But they don't seem to offer it everywhere. I get the message "This offer is not available" when I go to https://www.youtube.com/premiumlite
Very neat! Would it be an idea to make the humidity of the sand variable?
That is a late 20th century phenomenon. If you go back into the 1800s and earlier, it was pretty common for a college kids to spend a lot of time learning to translate ancient Greek texts.

2 interesting and good reads are the cyropedia and the anabasis, both by xenophon, and neither portraying the Persians in a negative light.
Early forms of 3D-printing of food already exist. Foodini is one example.
https://fly.io has been amazing for me. Dunno how their docs used to look but IMHO today it is very detailed they are especially forward-thinking regarding documenting some nice edge use-cases for the platform.
My first thought was "yeah but what is the solution some sort of home grown mess the gov is supposed to develop..." But the German approach seems pretty neat.
That’s a description given by their political rivals — and a strawman.

It also doesn’t support the original claim: that people talk down about Babylon and Egypt, a claim that never appears in the article.

Celebrating Greece and Rome as European achievements doesn’t denigrate people from other areas. Nor does acknowledging how their philosophy filtered into European and later American thought.

The paragraph you cited sounds like a bad faith “hit piece” unrelated to the claims that are being discussed regarding Babylon and Egypt.
Crustaceans are philogenetically farther away from insects than you are from fish (they are as far from insects as we are from the non-vertebrate chordata, like this [0]).

And note that just because you like chicken, you shouldn't expect to like vulture meat, even though those are much much closer related.

> War driving technology forward is a pretty popular idea

I would say less morbidly that government investment often drives technology forward. Sadly, wartime seems to be the only time when many people are willing to invest in government.

> it's plausible that if modern society survived WWIII it would create more progress... for the survivors.

That's the problem with war driving technology forward. The military technology has been driven forward to the level where modern society surviving WWIII is questionable.
It should be, certainly, but mostly to spare your peers' ears.

Ideally you want hardware, or at least OS-level push-to-talk, the software mute buttons often allow the software/server to listen.
To flip this around: I have a chromatography textbook from only 20 years ago that teaches computing the area under the curve using what it called the “plate” method (i.e. draw rectangles inside the curve on the instrument’s printout and then add up their areas).
What are games available on Xbox that dont contain pay to win?
Ive been playing destiny 2 for about a month,i will continue to play it but will never spend a cent on it,because i dont like helping greedy companies like bungie,for an ftp game, i haven got any good content till now,everything is paid. The experience is limited,and because i wont pay there will be less destiny playtime for me,so im looking for another game to fill that time, so do you guys know of any good xbox games that are not pay to win?idc if the game is free or paid,what i care about is,when i play it,i wont feel that those with more money have an advantage over me in game. So whats your recommendations?
It's true! This has to do with how I wrote the "belowLeft" and "belowRight" variables. I don't ensure they are in the same row. You can do this by taking a pair of indices, dividing by width and flooring and checking for equality.
I heard (iirc in the “In our time” podcast) that they associated rare/unusual cosmological events (say, a solar eclipse) with signs from the gods. Hence, to better read the signs, you want to know what's normal/predicted.

Don't quote me on this, though :)
I’ve been wondering if we should replace government entirely with all the project managers. They all huddle together learning strategies, processes and practicing on one another. They can read history and philosophy too if deemed useful.

The actual work gets done by everyone else. When a project comes up, the project team applies for a manager or two for just their one project. “Government” helps determine the appropriate management system for the project outcomes and rents/gives the project a (team of) managers trained in Scrum/PRINCE/Consensus/holocracy/etc. At the end of the project the team disbands and the managers return to the pool.
I wonder how much this is still contributing to the overall problem. The content is getting views, so advertisers will still pay for ads, the algorithm will promote it more, more people will see the ads.
>The dark pattern isn't that you can't skip the ad.

Help me out then, what is it?
Intelligence without faith and spirit just turns in on itself. The 60s benefited from peak functional values before the decline, they braved danger when we lock down today. They were also likely the last generation before the rot of mass dysgenics set in.

I'm struggling with the first paragraph:

> A fellow engineer passed along information from another engineer, who I have never met, Mike, 17 years an engineer, like me, with a degree, like me (art, English), which has led to writing this body.

Am I reading this right? The content of this article is hearsay twice removed?

How many crypto breaches have there been this year alone again?

If hundreds of millions of dollars can be lost by professional crypto firms employing crypto engineers, what hope do Bob and Sally have?
Even if that's true, it's still valuable and praiseworthy for Twitter to take this step.

If some small open source communication tool that was important to Hacker News readers added end-to-end encryption we'd all be cheering, no? So why isn't it a big deal (in some sense at least) for Twitter to do it?
What's with the early 20th / late 19th century style of English? Entertaining for a moment, but ultimately just frustrating for me to read. Is it done purposely because trains are an "old" piece of transportation infrastructure?
I am from Missouri and still provide a lot of advice to first gen college folks in that region.

I don't know anything about Berea, but I cannot recommend College of the Ozarks.

I can't be more clear: this is a submarine about a terrible college that no one should attend.

First, and most importantly, College of the Ozarks generally has a really terrible educational product. Really, TERRIBLE. It's difficult to over-state how bad the educational product is. Go look at their CS faculty. Almost all community colleges have way better faculty, to say nothing of other four year colleges.

Second, the work program is generous but not amazing. It's an $11K tuition waiver, which comes out to 15 hour/week job at $20/hour. Room and board is expensive, and off-campus living isn't as cheap as other options in Missouri.

Third, for students in Missouri, Truman State is an infinitely better product at roughly the same price point ($12K, and no one is stopping you from getting a part time job on or off campus...). It's a "public LAC" so the product is in the same category, but infinitely better.

Especially in CS, students are MUCH better off going to Truman State and working part-time. They'll make up the (SMALL) difference in part time job earnings through a combination of lower living expenses and way better internship placements. I'd be astounded if the average Truman CS student doesn't come out financially ahead of the average CofO student at graduation, and will eat my shoe if the Truman CS student isn't better off after 1 year of work.

Fourth, better not be homosexual or you'll be expelled / forced out. Always worth mentioning because many students don't realize this until too late.

But, again, I cannot overstate how bad of a deal CofO is compared to state schools (Truman, UMSL, Rolla) for Missouri residents, especially in high-demand fields like CS. The cost isn't that dissimilar and the faculty and educational quality at the state schools are infinitely better. I mean, go compare the CS faculty. Truman and UMSL have real CS programs staffed by real CS faculty. Rolla is a proper research university. CofO, on the other hand, has one faculty member whose industry experience is closer to "IT" than "SWE" and their curriculum is out-gunned by most community colleges. Honestly better off getting industry certs through a community college program.
This is awesome I’m for sure going to end up in this pipeline:

Try apps on PikaPods as an easy way to test what I want to self-host -> damn this is easy, not gonna bother moving, I’ll just stay in PikaPods
I get it, you're a fascist. But no, it isn't.

edit: so people told you you were a fascist and, to own the libs, you decided to abandon what you believed in? must've been a pretty tenuous belief for you to switch from pro-liberty to pro-authoritarianism so easily, but so many libertarians do so that it's unsurprising. it's almost like capitalism is inherently authoritarian...

I just assume you fell down the alt-right pipeline and had conservative talking heads like Tucker Carlson convince you into becoming fascist.
I've noticed this too. A couple things:

1) The OEM battery was probably fresher than the one that wound its way through retail distribution and then sat in a drawer at your house for longer than you realize

2) By the time you have to replace a battery, your remote's PCB has had time to adsorb water and contaminants from the air, get soda spilled on it, etc and is going to have higher leakage. It will then always draw more current in standby.
Yes, it absolutely is. The few times I did work with Elixir I came across a few instances where I had to use libraries that had not been ported over to Elixir yet so I had to deal with Erlang. It wasn't fun.

That being said, I think it's only one of the issues affecting Elixir adoption. Elixir, while undoubtedly a great language, is not very easy to use. The docs have a huge focus on the language and its syntax, but don't really hold the hand of developers of imperative languages who want to understand the paradigm of functional programming.

It took me an obscenely long amount of time for me to understand how a GenServer works, and how the entrypoints for an application work. This is a big pain point with learning Elixir and every time I come back to it I have to do this big mental overhead that IMO just isn't productive.
Maybe more productive way is to use youtube premium instead of looking dark pattern in youtube ads.

Or is the idea is something similar to if restaurant displayed unlimited buffet ads and some jackass customer decides wasting trays of uneaten food is okay. Anything else is restaurant owner is liar and using dark pattern to lure customers.
Foone's pronouns are they/them
Google+ circles was a good idea. I'm not sure why every competitor adopted it. I guessing with no structure users spend more time on social media, so less money is earned on ads.
> They might not be able to do math but they are still criminals.

Where's the joke?
LOL, economics. It's increasingly clear it bears no relation to what is good for society.
> I think we probably at some point will realize that food like we ate in the past are way better than it is today and the type of heavily processed food we eat today is unhealthy.

That point is here, right now. Michael Pollan and much of the food blog-o-sphere has been writing about this for years. The article is tone deaf to say the least.
Assuming that you use Windows, run the Event Viewer as admin. In the Event Viewer go to "Windows Logs"->"System" and look for events from source "Kernel Power". Find a wake-up event and read the report. It will tell you what caused this event. Happy debugging!
It depends, I worked briefly for Flex(tronics), and my projects were entirely focused on battery life and size (or at least, the client design requirements were).

There's a difference between a customer who plans on selling a billion units, and some company like this game controller design team that clearly making some crappy kids toys. I think the OP twitter person just learned a valuable lesson.
That's an awfully high cost for well liquor. The 'good' well liquor will be about $10 max, and the rotgut can be as low as $4 if you but a couple cases at a time.

Time Got So Much Weirder. The World Needs a New Lexicon
Ads and spam is what's ruining everyone's experience. If we would pay for services rendered then there is no need for tracking. If we could effectively prosecute and/or block spammers then there would be no need for anti-spam algorithms (from email to services like twitter and discord, iirc yesterday there was a thread about automatic bans based on secret algos with no recourse).

Government regulation is an attempt to make people aware this tracking exists: every time you see a wall, that means the site requires a level of tracking for which there exists no legal basis other than consent, thus it has to ask you if you're okay with that (like any ethical site should do anyhow).

Automated decision making is also part of GDPR but unfortunately is very very weakly implemented. Basically, companies just have to tell you it exists (if and only if it has a significant impact on your life), and then your only recourse is to request a human in the loop, and they will just press the same button as the AI did and you have no idea if they even looked at your case because the decision making doesn't have to be transparent. And that's only for important life things, none of this even applies to being banned from google account unless you sue them and get the judge to agree this has a major impact on your life.
The actual title starts with "4 integers", which makes a lot more sense to me.
It would seem that G.K. Chesterton had a sense of the implications of these overly inward looking practices:

"Even when I thought, with most other well-informed, though unscholarly, people, that Buddhism and Christianity were alike, there was one thing about them that always perplexed me; I mean the startling difference in their type of religious art. I do not mean in its technical style of representation, but in the things that it was manifestly meant to represent. No two ideals could be more opposite than a Christian saint in a Gothic cathedral and a Buddhist saint in a Chinese temple. The opposition exists at every point; but perhaps the shortest statement of it is that the Buddhist saint always has his eyes shut, while the Christian saint always has them very wide open. The Buddhist saint has a sleek and harmonious body, but his eyes are heavy and sealed with sleep. The mediaeval saint's body is wasted to its crazy bones, but his eyes are frightfully alive. There cannot be any real community of spirit between forces that produced symbols so different as that. Granted that both images are extravagances, are perversions of the pure creed, it must be a real divergence which could produce such opposite extravagances. The Buddhist is looking with a peculiar intentness inwards. The Christian is staring with a frantic intentness outwards. If we follow that clue steadily we shall find some interesting things."
true, but you were talking about investing in the financial sense before. Having good money sense should definitely be taught in school, but few will benefit from an education in investing.
Hmm, funny how as a non-native speaker, it didn't strike me as having a particularly notable style.
> Noone wants another e-waste.

> I am pretty sure the market disagrees with you.

Not applicable - efficient market hypothesis requires a host of conditions to be true, and all of the following are unmet: information symmetry, sufficient number of suppliers, lack of monopoly effects, and rational consumers.
I’m a bit puzzled on why do such a thing at all, but okay.
