I feel the exact opposite. When I was younger, I thought wireless anything was terrible. Slow, inefficient, finicky, requiring constant charging.

But since then I've realized things have changed. It's incredible how much wireless and battery technology have improved in the last 10+ years.

If you want to perform at the top level in most games, you need a wireless mouse. It allows for significantly easier and freer movement than a wired mouse, even with a bungee. Charges can last for weeks, and due to faster charging can charge in an hour or two.

And as my list of equipment and peripherals grows, I find myself wishing more of them were wireless so I don't need to deal with them getting tangled, needing to re-route them, them being too short if I raise a desk up, etc.

However, there are some exceptions:

* Internet. The reliability problem has largely been solved if you have decent quality equipment. (I have a Ubiquity Wifi 6 lite, and it works great) However, the delays are still there, and some houses/apartment layouts and materials just aren't workable. I think people overall underestimate WiFi though, as most setups are very poorly done. The crappy WAP in your comcast router/modem/switch/wap combo box is terrible and will never perform well no matter what. But a good dedicated setup with WAPs spread and placed properly will do amazing.

* IEMs. There are no standards for transferring high-resolution uncompressed audio wirelessly right now (BlueTooth cannot do it), so the only way to get the best experience is a wired IEM. This isn't true for all digital audio transfer, like streaming. That can be done wirelessly just fine over wifi. (IE, wirelessly sending audio to a Raspberry Pi, when then sends it to a DAC, etc)

The moment such a standard exists for IEMs, I will gladly swap over. The wires constantly get tangled, are too short, get damaged, or rub against things while moving leading to undesirable sound coming into the ear.
The source is right in the article: Crypto currencies fall under §23 EStG (= Germany's income tax law) which is concerned with selling "ordinary everyday things".

You'd probably love to learn of the European Convention on Human Rights.

These rights go on top of whatever EU member states might have in their national laws. And it has its own independent court (ECHR).
It's not "emotionally attached", it's that it's been impossible to buy a house for a while if you're not willing to pay more than it will appraise for. You'll repeatedly lose to buyers who will do that, with cash offers to boot.

This has been true even in many cities that aren't trendy, and have been building housing like crazy for a decade.
Even the very requirement to "apply online" has been quite effective at making it very difficult for a sub-section of the working population to succeed at applying.

There are many (and I know quite a few) people who are quite capable at their jobs and entirely computer-ineffective. As they're forced more and more to deal with confusing two-factor requirements and other computer-related things that we're just "used" to, they get discouraged and give up.

For now you can often help them fill it out, but at some point that's going to be unwieldy or insufficient.

Unfortunately we live in a world where most data that isn't E2EE is up for sale. Without making E2EE the default for all communication will result in anyone with money the power to know everything about your life.
If E2EE is not the default 'poor young women' will be much more vulnerable now, because their abusers will have access to more information about them.
I find bluetooth sharing to be a feature. I can make my headphones enumerate which devices they are connected to. They can also connect to both my computer and my phone simultaneously, so I can be using the computer audio mostly and have my phone override the audio input/output when a call comes in.
Good point - A former colleague made an asking price offer on a house in 2007 that was rejected by the sellers. He bought the same house a year later from them for 70% of his original offer thanks to the Great Recession.
This is due to the starving of resources: both in budget, and in policy to address mismatches from the market for employees.

Yeah, 1 pair for signal, one for shielding. Cat3 and Cat5/5e/6 aren't the same - but I think you can practically get up to 1gbps over Cat3 - 10gbps is unlikely.
Wouldn't it be better to ask people who have quit Elon's ventures rather than people that rely on him for employment or those that rely on his services? Seems heavily biased.
Nobody makes finished recordings for distribution with a cell phone. Field recordings for use as samples? Sure. Something to get the overall feel of a performance? Sure. A dedicated mic on an instrument because nothing else was available? Sure.

But recording when it matters is dependent on the microphone, the pre-amp and the A/D converter, none of which are of suitable quality in a cell phone to be the basis for a "serious" recording.
Margin rates are also lower, and you don't have to pay the principal.

They do, but the biggest way this happens is investors shifting their asset allocations into bonds. So if bonds pay 10% per year a company with a p/e of 30 looks less attractive than if bonds pay 3% per year.
This is why you should use mountains to defend if you are attacked by a greater force in EU4. Smaller combat with.
The money can find a productive outlet, it’s just that for the last 5 years or so, speculative investments (that weren’t productive) had a much higher rate of return. Which is too bad as the productive investments like building a solar power plant really benefitted from the low interest rates that drove the non-productive speculative bubble.

non-productive Speculative investments tend to get punished at the end of the cycle by losing all value, thus punishing those invested in it and restoring order. But that often only happens when you increase interest rates above that which productive investments like solar power plants often need. And so you get contraction as even the productive investments are starved of funding. Oh well, at least the solar power plant hasn’t lost all its value.

The solution is the same one used by airlines and hotels: dynamic demand-driven pricing, charging enough that you don't sell all your seats until the last minute.

An airline that sold out of all its seats 6 months ahead of time would be considered incompetent, but governments do this all the time with reservations for various activities, because they are trying to "be nice" by charging low entry fees.
"If you think that cryptocurrency has been or will be a success then the onus is on you to provide proof"

The fact that crypto. exists, makes me correct and crypto success provable. Your statement is false as, again, crypto exists. As long as the crypto space exists and has value above 0, it is not worthless and that makes you wrong.

Not sure how basic you need this proof to be, but here is one more attempt. 1 > 0, 1 being crypto existence and 0 it not existing.
I thought it was known that printers all leave a unique fingerprint (device-specific, not just model-specific).

I don't think they are going for road feel:

The central component of the Free Drive system is the Schaeffler generator, which sets the constant resistance on the pedal while simultaneously absorbing the rider's pedaling power

So I think with this bike when you take off from a stop, you just squeeze the throttle or whatever controller it has and take off using battery power.

On the other hand, you can pedal at your most efficient cadence/force all day long without regard to terrain.
Yes, you need some level of financial creativity to justify buying into one of the many bubbles. But that's where the timeless Buffett quote[0] on Ted Williams and batting comes in, there's no called strikes in securities markets. Mr. Market doesn't force you to do anything at all, we're all free to ignore the speculation and focus on proper cash flowing businesses at reasonable valuations. The more boring the better (tho there are opportunities even with exciting companies these days), but just wait for the right pitch, no need to force it. You'd need a gun to my head if you wanted me to hold a portfolio of cash burning (even generating for that matter) businesses with valuations based on 5-10 year outlooks.

The article is about measurement techniques like keystroke speed and ability to play games. From an ADA perspective, they're right that it discriminates against those with various disabilities.

Otherwise, I agree with you on the ongoing trend to bias things until you get the result you want instead of the result that reflects reality.

They do, and their microarchitecture is unambiguously, hugely different to anything else (some details in 1). The last Apple Silicon chip to use a standard Arm design was the A5X, whereas they were using customised PowerVR GPUs until I think the A11.

The people I known who have it _really_ have it. Not just "sometimes I feel tired", but "I need a wheelchair to get out of the house, and if I sit in the same room as someone with a cold, I'll be knocked out for a week". Seeing a housemate go from cycling to work most days to lying on a sofa unable to get up in the space of a few days, it's pretty clear to me that there's something going on that's not just fixable with a bit more sleep and a change in diet.

I've heard different people give different suggestions for ways to improve things. One friend uses a mobility scooter, not so much because they particularly need it to get around, but more because if they waste their energy walking, they can't use it doing what they actually want to do. Another friend has an oxygen mask that she reckons has really helped her with some of the pain she's been feeling as part of her CFS.
It's Nature. It is crappy already. When I went up Half Dome in the 70s It was the middle of June and pretty hot. It's a long walk and all of it is steep and some of it is slippery and scary. But "I'm a tough mountaineer" so I didn't turn back. And that image/ego thing is why making it crappy will not work.

Check out the link for an overview, gif demos, link to download the browser, and some docs on how to write servers.

I'm interested in hearing feedback about whether this is crazy/dumb/interesting.
Right. It’s really up to businesses and governments. Businesses to make productive investments and governments to make the appropriate counter-cyclical investments (beyond just interest rates) to keep the productive investments more attractive than the non-productive speculative ones for businesses.
Yes, but we're discussing technology that will also be rare. It's not like these chainless electric drive systems will appear on big-box sporting goods store bicycles, so why compare it to a mass-market affordable bike's technology?

I think it's reasonable to compare a leading edge technology to a leading-edge existing product. Otherwise, it's like it's 2007 and we're complaining that this newfangled iPhone thngie can run out of battery in a day, while my POTS telephone works even in a blackout.

Yes, true, but apples, oranges.

Isn’t this incentivizing “investing” into something much more volatile and risky than stocks from which profits always are taxed at 25%?

Even if there haven’t been taxes on this yet, making crypto “more attractive” than stocks sounds like rallying all greater fools there are to create even more defaults - which in return will hurt society as a whole.
By what criteria can you determine an account is spam/fake?

That seems like a difficult thing to determine.
I do not view bravery as you do. I see it as a choice between a virtuous act that puts you at risk and another which puts you in safety to the detriment of others. Defending your child from harm by sacrificing your own life is brave. Throwing your child at the face of the enemy to spare your own life is an act of cowardice.

I think it is brave of Ukrainians to defend their homeland from an invading nation. It was very easy in the beginning to simply run to the nearest EU country and be taken in with open arms. It is brave of Ukrainians to say, "No, we are not yours, we are our own" and to defend that declaration when tested.

When talk of historic wrongs makes you uncomfortable I wonder what you think of Denmark celebrating its liberation from the Nazis and if talk of the historic wrong of the Nazis also makes you uncomfortable i.e. do you believe the historic wrong of enslaving our nation was wrong or do you believe it a blameless act? One can extrapolate this question to other historic wrongs such as the Holodomor.

Bots probably seem like they make a bigger part of Twitter's population b/c they will simply tweet more than the median user. I imagine that the majority, and perhaps the vast majority of Twitter users are mostly passive users, ie: they mostly consume tweets and seldom actually tweet themselves. In other words, high D/MAU, ~5% bots, but bot tweet volume makes up 30+% of actual tweet volume.
Do they even define "users"?

I'm a lurker on Twitter. I follow people but don't tweet. Do I count as a user? My behavior is probably difficult to discern from a bot (using a third party app).

The bots everyone is concerned about are the ones tweeting, but there are probably all kinds of "legitimate" bots, like the ones that tweet when Apple pushes a software update, or something goes on sale on Steam.

That 5% number may be describing the "legitimate" bots, while what everyone cares about is the illegitimate ones.
Why would anyone tell you? Every new user just adds more decay.
temperature consistency across all the parts, probably. It's the reason things like discrete current sources use dual transistor packages: important transistor parameters track strongly with temperature, and if you want them to match, the temperatures need to be the same.
A heat gun is also designed to put pretty consistent heat an inch or so away from the nozzle, whereas hair dryers often have what appear to be left-over jet engines for fans, for when you need to dry someone's hair from ten feet away.
It's interesting, because this exact transition (bike+motor assist -> motorbike) has been seen before. In Britain we had the category of 'moped', complete with vestigial pedals, before they were subsumed into the small motorbikes (limit: 50cc engine).

The difference is that now the motor is electric, not a small petrol engine. Will be interesting to see if we end up treating them (again) as small motorbikes, or as bikes with assist (so no compulsory helmet, insurance, or registration).

Edit: around here (Liverpool) I see them styled both ways. Some look like motor scooters with pedals, others pedal bikes with a motor. Seems to be fashion rather than functionality that determines which.
I've written C# code that deadlocked a webserver, C++ code that crashed a computer lab, JavaScript code that made the browser unresponsive, a SQL migration that accidentally deleted too much data. I don't really know what point you're trying to make, but bad code typically behaves badly.
But, it is full of bullshit. Just because it happens to align with my ego doesn't mean I'm wrong to say it. I would say the same thing even if I did get funded.
Mali's slides here still show them doing two vertex shading passes, one for positions, and again for other attributes. I'm guessing "memory" here means high-performance in-unit memory like TMEM, rather than a full frame's worth of data, but I'm not sure!
Yes I am sure a lot of companies are building things that aren't required. But there are so many things were indeed better solutions are required, and if they exist would be worth investing in.

I understand the tax logic you are speaking about, but I think tax benefits are sometimes oversold to convince people to buy things (like homes and investments). You aren't a corporation, your liability isn't limited. Trying to shave a bit off taxes may have less benefit to you than the peace of mind of not having to juggle debt. You seem like you understand that when you talk about refinancing asap, so I think you know what you are talking about as well.
Any time I ask on some financial forum about moving a chunk of investments to cash I get told that would be stupid, don't try to time the market, and just keep buying.

MoCA vs. Ethernet – Which Should You Use?

Can't wait for my scumputer
Is there ANY way to detect the presence of one of these devices, OR the use of a device when a tag ID is scanned?

The reason that I ask, is that I was on the design team for lockheed when we were selling RFID tags for shipping containers at a shitload per pop... (123 and 433 mhz)

and I brought up we had zero auth on any of our systems... and was just told to not speak about it.
They never showed the fundamentals. There are famous money losses throughout the 20th century. [You can google the charts, or check Graham's book or the biography of Buffett, where he went around avoiding such traps or buying failing companies on the cheap and turning them around by cash infusion.] And of course the infamous example of the Tulip Bulb in 17th century.

Companies need to take risk to innovate. A lot as you indicate, and I totally agree, take it too much and doom themselves by never figuring out how to be profitable.

These days simply everything that innovates is "Tech." (Now it's turning similarly to sustainability.) How is Tesla "Tech?" It brands itself as that. By that thinking a lot of other automakers should -- and the autopilot doesn't cut it -- just people don't want to see Toyota stock as "Tech."

The other thing with "Tech" is that if you don't keep pouring your revenue to take more risks until you dominate over others you will die. So fundamentally, all "Tech" stocks strive towards domination via innovation and growth. Amazon (book seller I know) spend the first part of this century with a pretty bad stock and getting tax credits by investing everything in itself and being cheap extremely aggressively. A lot of "Amazons" did not make it.

P.S. If they gave me a 10 year put on Tesla on a sane price I would take it. Alas nobody is taking that bet on the cheap.

P.S.2. The funny thing is it is a self full-filled prophesy. Tesla has the market capital to control debt to try a bunch of stuff until it makes it.

P.S.3. Fundamentals can be used to increase dividends or do buybacks s.t. the stock price will stay/go up. That is the correlation.

P.S.4/tl;dr: The stock market and any commodity market are pyramid schemes -- people get in to make money.
