I used to be such a Google fanboy that I made my career as an Android developer for the last 10 years. But nowadays I'm disgusted by the company and am cynical of every product announcement. I resent feeling like I have to pay attention to the soulless Google I/O. I'm thinking of switching careers even if it means a significant pay cut.
Any competitor capitalized enough to give you a generous free plan will probably have the same issue.
Nissan would never have been Tesla. They might have been the largest producer of EVs if history had run a different way, but that's a million miles away from being Tesla.
I've been there. In 2014 I ended up broke from trying to start a cash health care marketplace. I ended up broke for about 2 years after. The job market is strong right now and you will get things back in order. Keep fighting.
Gut butyrylcholinesterase is actually transcribed at the same locus as gut sucrase-isomaltase, which breaks down sucrose. At 3q26.1!

It's on the opposite arm of chromosome 3 from oxytocin + thyroid hormone receptor beta + peroxisome proliferation associated receptor gamma (all around 3p24.3-3p25.3).
I would add Station Eleven to this adjacency list
Banks do not have 100% of "assets", otherwise bank runs wouldn't be so catastrophic when enough people try to withdraw their funds in actual currency. Because it's not there. Your misunderstanding is that you're focusing on your average savings account, these types of accounts are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, in fact many banks don't even want these customers since they can't make much money that way if at all.

Now as for credit it is not fully backed and they do create money out of nothing, any econ 101 course teaches you that. That is actually how most new money is created, though bank credits. The "money" is book money which is not legal tender, which means yes, they literally just make an entry into their books (today digital), same as Tether minting money out of thin air.

The most fatal aspect is that many people do not understand the complicated legal situation when giving money to banks. They imagine it like their money is sitting in a virtual safe just for them and the bank can't touch it. In reality once it enters the banks books you have lost custody of the actual asset (government money), which is why insurance is needed in case the bank goes under. In the EU for example all savings are insured up to 100k€.

>What Tether is doing, of course, is different, because they seem to create money out of nothing without having the assets to cover them

This is what banks do, you simply do not understand.

>"Sight deposits are an example of book money: sight deposits are created when a bank settles transactions with a customer, ie it grants a credit, say, or purchases an asset and credits the corresponding amount to the customer's bank account in return. This means that banks can create book money just by making an accounting entry: according to the Bundesbank's economists, ""this refutes a popular misconception that banks act simply as intermediaries at the time of lending – ie that banks can only grant credit using funds placed with them previously as deposits by other customers"". By the same token, excess central bank reserves are not a necessary precondition for a bank to grant credit (and thus create money)."

Does it also take up a lot of precious space relative to it's function for the average user mostly using Bluetooth now?
Right - I guess you prefer a comforting story, to trying to discern truth from lies.

All the best.
I remember a specific case of this happening with a popular CBS tv show "The Unit". I thought it was quite good. Apparently a lot of other people did too because it was one of their most popular shows. But it was cancelled after 3 seasons and replaced with another garbage reality tv show like Jersey Shore, the Kardashians or Survivor or something.

The reason was that the Unit filmed in different locations and had lots of explosions and other things that made it expensive to film.

They decided they could replace it with a show one third as popular that had 1/20th the production cost.

From a business perspective, you can charge one third as much for ads and still come out way ahead because reality garbage costs nothing to make.
Could you share your method?
I've had wired headphones save my phone from a drop

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also use air pods now and am fairly certain this water fountain i walk past daily has a short causing some sort of arc that interferes with bluetooth as they always cut out walking past it.
Company eventually acquired.

Never heard about the subsidiary again.
Scarcity prices are determined mostly by the last units available. Imagine demand is just below supply: then very little of the price is driven by scarcity. Now imagine that demand is just above supply: it's not hard for prices to increase dramatically, because every item is being competitively bid on the price will increase until demand at that point is below supply again.

The only time you don't expect small improvement in supply to have an effect on price is when you're far from being supply limited.
So.. sell or lower your rent? If you’re saying that what you’d do otherwise is sit on a bunch of empty housing hoping for a market correction, it seems like you’re just violently agreeing that such a tax would have a net effect of reducing vacant housing by disincentivizing overly speculative development and holding.

In other words, maybe if you’re not holding the bag (that is, your bad investment), that just means everyone else is instead.
The way you wrote your reply certainly read to me like you believe Twitter should act as if it has that obligation.

You start by drawing a line between moderation and what Twitter has done, which is ban the former President. You then point out that he was democratically elected and that the US is influential, neither of which are relevant to the discussion but are often brought up as reasons why it's astonishing he was banned (with the implication being that he should not have been).

You continue by stating again that moderation and freedom of speech don't have to be at odds, and describe a scenario where accounts you would normally just ban can continue to post, instead.

You then finish by suggesting that another commenter may have an agenda, when they were pointing out the need for moderation.

So. I am definitely open to the idea that I just don't understand what you're trying to say, or even that I don't understand what anyone is trying to say. If it's the former, perhaps you can help me by restating your concerns more clearly. If it's the latter, I suppose there's no helping me and you can just ignore this reply.
I looked at design of this stunt. I can think of MANY more dangerous things out there in the world.

Best might have been to do this stunt outside of FAA jurisdiction.
A little pro-tip for those about to run wires through your walls: use shielded cables. Also, probably don’t run them anywhere near AC wire. Some people recommend a full stud between them, whereas the NEC allows them to be run next to eachother as long as there is at least 50mm of clearance.

I think this is usually recommended for safety reasons, to prevent mistakes from causing high voltage to get into your low voltage runs and become a shock hazard or potentially start a fire. But,
I have noticed empirically that running a bit too close with the wrong cable does absolutely result in some serious interference issues. So… your wired connections are not free of signal issues either, especially if you want to neatly run them in-wall.

edit: also, worth noting that this is a highly U.S. centric piece of advice. I mean I’m sure it applies elsewhere, but both electrical systems and construction differences probably make some of the details very different, and I’m not cultured enough to know exactly which and how.
There's not much to get: it's a witch hunt. That there are real witches out there in this case doesn't change the fundamental dynamics of it.
I wonder if he will leave Cali to avoid taxes?
"The high-end market is only a small part of the numbers" correct, but in a parallel universe where Tesla didn't exist & the typical EV looked & performed like a Leaf, would anyone actually want an electric car? Marketing and psychology are important.
huh. I guess I learned something, thanks. I guess it makes some sense - infants are somewhat still in the transitory phase between breathing being a fun side activity and breathing being essential to living.

How likely is it that the results will still be interesting in 9 years?
Iirc historically the day was first split into 12 parts with sundials, and only later was the night also split into 12 parts. Maybe thats where the 2x12 comes from. I guess another benefit is that it's simply less cluttered with 12 divisions.
Yeah, at my desk I use a decent pair of cans (HD6XX or K550 depending on situation) hooked up to a nice DAC/amp since there, cords aren't much of an annoyance. Especially the type on larger headphones which is thicker and far less prone to tangling.

Away from the desk though? Bluetooth all the way. Even if I'm just lounging on my bed bluetooth is better because there's no wires for the cat that will most assuredly be in my lap to chew.
Tesla has 14% of the EV market, VW Group has 12% - and closing fast.

They also have a much larger dealership network.

Author of the article has a long and deep/irrational inherent bias against crypto, so regardless whether you are pro or anti be very careful of taking his opinion.

I am semi pro crypto, depending on the use etc, but have personally always found this author to be a total dick, an opinion originating when I engaged with him via some correspondance after a published article a long time ago.
Perfect play would take into account the meta game as well.

My point is that if the casinos have to post odds, the only odds on a poker table are flat (any deviations from 0 coming from skill differences) minus any rake (with maybe some slight variation if the button doesn't go down an even number of times).

The fact that we cannot define perfect play is irrelevant.
The perception of urban blight is, to the best of my understanding, a mostly separate cultural phenomenon. It doesn't have to be the case for every city in the US to be a shining pillar of civic excellence (many of them aren't!) for it to be the case that suburban living drives alienation that feeds into statistically irrational fears of strangers.

In other words: we're talking about two separate things. You're describing an abstract quality of life concern, which is a valid concern that a lot of people share about major cities. I'm talking about a cultural zeitgeist around treating strangers as predators or latent criminals, which is statistically unborn.

(We can also play the anecdote game: I've lived in NYC my entire life, and I've never dodged human excrement or needles. I've seen needles and human waste, but they're a vanishingly small component of my experiences living here.)
Not all conservatives are libertarians.
There is likely a bylaws provision for amending the bylaws. It may take a bit of politicking and organizing, but if everyone indeed dislikes this person, there's a chance someone could succeed in amending them to counter this behavior, and that person could be you.
Classic was the same. On older systems, I think it was a good idea, given the speed of hard drives back then. With SSDs, the performance gains from keeping unused programs alive are far lower, but at the same time, RAM is far more plentiful, so it comes at a much lower cost.
The people who were the driving force behind all the "Satanic Panic" stuff are still around, too. And some of them still pose as experts on "recovered memories" and other stuff like that.
I doubt many people choose between the two though, they're very different propositions.
Is the M8 obtainable? It seems like it's constantly backordered.
Just to add my tupence: my (Fintech) startup failed in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. I soldiered on but eventually had to close it down. My wife walked out on me and with it my family collapsed. I ended up sleeping on the proverbial friend's couch for six month. Eventually his brother gave me a small personal loan to help me get back on my feet. 10 (!) years later I closed a seven figure seed round for my new startup.
Just never give up.
Proposal for a Regulation laying down rules to combat child sexual abuse
Vine was at the peak of internet culture and mindshare when it was shut down. I have to believe there was some kind of personal vendetta or motivation behind the shut down. It makes absolutely no sense.
Hey delix, I have been through a somewhat similar situation. With some debt as well, which is enough to sting these days but what I have been ultimately able to manage.

First steps are to calculate your debt service amount (this is the total number of principal + interest payments you need to make in the coming 1..n periods, say 1 year). I am talking minimum payments only, so on a ~$30K credit card balance they may be as small as say $500 monthly. Second, start thinking about bringing in enough income.

Now, is this the type of advice you need or were you asking more broadly?
It's a neat project, but that's a pretty low-end device.
Yes, that's why I called it brave.
What basis do you have for this claim? Screens strapped to faces seems immediately preferable, if only for discrete viewing. Why do you think phones won out against televisions?
I guess we need the mobile phone equivalent of Framework laptop, with interchangeable ports/slots.
There are an excessive number of people with untreated mental illness walking around in the USA. This may not be obvious if you haven’t lived elsewhere or can’t tell the difference between psychosis and alternative lifestyle choices. Untreated psychosis is dangerous, delusional people do harm others and themselves.

It’s relevant because it is a real medical problem that the US fails to deal with, as opposed to a less well defined cultural issue.
Music might be fine for listening, but it is emphatically not fine for playing. It's completely unusable. It's like trying to talk while listening yourself 100ms delayed. Probably fine for competitive gaming if you're just spectating too.
LoL. I still won’t come, no matter how nice the city is.

Living in a big house is waaaaaay better than a living in an apartment inside a building. No contest here.

This picture, supposedly from the camera, oddly exhibits barrel distortion:

An ideal pinhole camera produces straight lines. Maybe there is an issue getting the exposed section of film to be stretched flat.
Downvotes because another user disagreed with a tweet after they made a fair attempt to reproduce the issue? That's not the spirit of HN.
"Am I free to go?"

No? That'll be $$$$ then.

No need to explain anything to the cop, and in fact you shouldn't say anything. "Am I free to go?" "No?" "Ok, I invoke my right to silence and I want my lawyer".

The media and propaganda have done an amazing job convincing citizens that we have to explain our totally legal behavior. No. It is up to them to identify a crime that is being committed and if not, then just ignore them. Be prepared to get arrested.

Now, if you aren't absolutely sure that you aren't breaking the law, then stop fantasizing about winning an argument with a cop (GP).
...Why does a lack of external IPv6 address cause a problem within your home network?

(I'm genuinely willing to believe it could, because I've seen stupider problems personally, but it does seem like a weird one.)
I cannot get over how many authors that article has.
Or, maybe this is the classic 'bad actors don't stop being bad, but everyone gets punished' setup that seems to be more prevalent now than it ever was.
Netflix, and Amazon Prime also, the originals are for my exercise bike. Enough to hold my attention but not to hold it so much that I slow down.
Back in the 70s and 80s CBS had a rotation of late night dramas that my sister described as "just enough plot". That's what a lot of these originals are.
As opposed to the near limitless devices that support bluetooth now? Including most refrigerators sold today?
Good, Twitter has problems worthy of firing people over and in all cases it's ultimately executives that are responsible for all problems, so it makes sense that even if they don't publicly enumerate the specific events that led to the firing, these executives most certainly deserved to be fired.
In most areas that have single-family houses, it is illegal to build 16-unit apartment buildings. In the places that most need more housing, this is the most true.
Yeah you see thats _exactly_ what I don't want my morning to turn in to. It doesn't matter if I'm right if it's going to ruin my day/week/relationship with my kids school.
Adams was brilliant, of course, but to me part of the appeal of Hitchhiker's was its deep Britishness. Absurdity is funnier against a backdrop of English inhibition. Monty Python's "Ministry of Silly Walks" is only funny because it's so English. Spinal Tap took on fake English accents because it's funnier that way. Comedy is about contrasts you see.
Switzerland banned reservists from storing issued ammo for their assault rifle at home 15 years ago.

However, this only applies to issued ammo (and IIRC the identical govt-subsidized stuff you buy at the range). You can still store your own ammo just fine. Most of those in US who saw that story didn't understand this distinction and believed that it applies to all ammo storage at home. Which is how we got all those memes about Swiss being "heavily regulated" in that regard unlike US.
Google was working on that once upon a time.

Prominent cryptocurrency trader hit by 'perfect storm'
USB devices can still be controlled by the OS. iPad has USB C but you can't use everything on it, some external SSDs don't work, displays don't work etc. You can still control it.

3.5mm has one purpose, but you have no control over what is using that audio device. Less control = Less $$$ to be made. NOBODY bought Apple earphones after-market before AirPods were a thing, and even though the iPad has a USB C, most people are buying apple peripherals due to locks.
My one desire is to be financially independent. We don't all get what we want.

With 42 million, he's fine. Time to care about someone else.
Reasonable assumption: Day-to-day routine (staged) official videos of Putin - such as this one of his meeting with a "key advisor" - will show exactly what Putin and his inner circle want to be shown.

The video is posted on kremlin.ru. This is not some sort of "a paparazzi managed to sneak into the inner sanctums of the Kremlin..." scoop for the New York Post.
Maybe reach out to Arfon Smith, who does a lot of stuff at GitHub and is passionate about astronomy: https://www.stsci.edu/stsci-research/research-directory/arfo...

I recall talking to him years ago about tools for scientists and how GitHub could help.
Ah, true -- that would be a good comparison to do, or section to add the the docs (csv.md in the repo). I'll add it to my to-do list!
I always assumed it was smart enough though not to do it when it's on battery as it is very likely that the device is also in a confined space, such as a laptop backpack waiting for the trip to the office next morning.

If I have it sitting on power and thus likely just on the top of the table and I have auto-updates on, sure do them when I'm not around as long as they are updates that can run unattended. Note the "if auto-updates are on" part, which luckily you can still disable on MacOS.
I was aware I had poor eyesight, but I'm kind of amazed to hear that there's anyone who can clearly see the position of a minute hand between two tick marks on a clock from any reasonable distance.
The Curious Case of the Missing Cell
When did child abductions rates fall to their current low? Personally I'm doubtful, but it could be the change in parenting style had an effect.
Yeah, btw I am agreeing with you and disagree with GP! (Actually I think I knee jerk reacted to you and by then time I had finished reasoning it out, I agreed with you!)
One could conclude the entire point of such debate(s) is to make sure nothing of importance gets changed.

Dense living doesn't necessarily have to be a big city.

I live in an area where I see people out and walking. The local neighbourhood feels bustling. If I needed someone to watch my kid, I could call outside for someone from a number of faces I have known for years.

This is in a developing country. Houses are smaller, closer together, and without things like a driveway. I guess most people in the US still wouldn't want to give up these things. But I wouldn't want to live in a place where I never see people because they are all either in their house or their cars.

Article had some interest from me, and as a non US citizen I was interested to look in retrospect and try and form a view balanced with benefit of retrospect.

But I got to the end and then it says "The Post decided to publish only four of the forty-one slides that Snowden provided. Its exercise of judgment suggests the absence of Snowden’s."

No, they were scared of litigation, or similar, that would impact their ability to continue to operate. Snowden had clearly decided this was end game for him.

Now, in retrospect,this article comes across as to have been written by a puppet, or run as an editorial by a publication under some kind of duress.
Will also note the disproportionate "mystery school" involvement here:

Yes, there are plenty of phones that have IP68 & 3.5mm without any rubber flaps etc., not to start a flamewar but it's strange to me that a lot of people seem to think they would be a necessary tradeoff... Apple had other reasons to get rid of it.

In what sense is it equivalent? Legal? Ethical? Moral?
For me the appeal is that I don't need to figure out how to run wires all over my house, or have them stapled to the walls or something. Wifi works well enough that I would never get to a net positive after considering the ethernet wrangling project inconvenience.
