I know the battery must be small and they say medical grade but I would be very worried putting any battery next to my eyeball. If some how you get knocked in the eye does it react? I guess if there was a medical reason to wear this I would consider it but just for fun I think I will wait until it’s shown some reliability.
That prompted me to look up what 'sahara' and 'desert' are in Arabic -

صحراء - Sahra' - Desert

الصحراء الكبرى - alsahra' alkubraa - The big desert?

Apparently nobody at Microsoft thought about the Windows registry as a database, which of course needs indexing to be performant.
NOAA doesn't list any meaningful geomagnetic storms right now:

But that aside, I'd really hope that these cars are using professional WAAS-capable GPS receivers. Short of a major X-class flare which knocks out the WAAS geostationary satellites, the entire point of the system is to correct for these kinds of disturbances to the GPS signals.
> I'd almost say lifestyle diseases seem to be, to a large degree, a choice - maybe not directly, but as a society we accept that if we want to enjoy all the privileges of modern technology and food availability etc., then we pay for it with heart disease or diabetes or certain cancers etc.

It's a choice for many, but I think it's not a fully informed one. If I'd known in my teens and early twenties what I know now, there is a zero percent chance I would have eaten and lived the way that I did. These things don't seem to hit people until the point that their personal health is affected, and sometimes not even then.
I haven't read it yet but other people seem to suggest that the dissent and majority opinions seems.to have vastly interpretation of even the simpler question of in what capacity he was acting while praying.
At this point in time, I believe they cannot issue a moving violation to an autonomous car as it does not have a driver. The safety driver (if there is one), can be cited though.

I don't know -- seems like a lot of people don't think of sheep when they see the word "fleece". Why should it be any different with food?

For that matter I know what chicken tastes like, but I don't get that product when I go to the grocery and get something labeled "chicken".
The waymo vehicles are much more recent though. All of a sudden they're all over.
I'd be skeptical of courses like that. Science has repeatedly found no evidence of this being an ability that you can learn.

There's an entire industry peddling pseudoscience around it but there's basically no evidence that it works.

See this recent Skeptoid for a good summary: https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4836

That episode quotes an opinion paper in Frontiers in Psychology, which I'll also do here:

> Is the rational course simply to drop this line of research? ...We have now sufficient evidence that there are no specific non-verbal behavioral signals that accompany lying or deceitful behavior. We can safely recommend that courts disregard such behavioral signals when appraising the credibility of victims, witnesses, and suspected offenders. For psychology and law researchers it may be time to move on.
Who says the self driving vehicles won’t be articulated buses?
Most of those seem like a consequence of good design? I don't want one process to be able to decide that it's windows should be higher priority than another process, or see what's displayed on another processes windows, or steal keystrokes from windows owned by another process. So I think the net effect of that list is to make me less likely to use Xorg.
Highly doubt they'd be using GPS for anything more than putting them in the right neighborhood.

> In some sense it’s not the taxi driver or ride share drivers fault they block the road or bike lanes it’s really just the system they are thrown into.

I've progressively gotten more left over the years to the point where I think that certain crime, while it should not be tolerated, should not so much be punished rather than the root cause be fixed.

While I think a lot of overhaul can/should be done to mitigate this specific issue, taxi/ride share drivers are absolutely being incredibly selfish when they do this and it's completely unnecessary.

Ah yes, the same constitution that calls for a "well regulated militia" somehow prohibits all limits on individual gun ownership.

This ruling would easily change with a different supreme court makeup, since the constitution itself is decidedly not clear on the topic.
The majority decision clearly misrepresented the facts of the case: this was a public spectacle, not a quiet, private action (as the coach proudly points out), but the majority claimed their decision was based on it being the opposite.
That will just cause them to move the goalposts.

Since this is a law in France, trying to apply English definitions is probably unhelpful. Here’s my translation of the definition[1] from Dictionnaire de l'Académie française, the official French dictionary:

> SAUCISSE (n) Intestine filled with chopped meats, most commonly pork, seasoned in various ways, which is often eaten hot.

This does seem to fairly definitely exclude vegetarian options.

Well, what's the worst that could happen? ADE/OAS or other unpredictable immune problems from constant tinkering and perturbation? Driving the virus to evolve yet another immune escape variant which might be much more virulent? These risks seem insignificant compared to not boosting against a virus with a CFR that's now about 1.5x the flu.

Actually, from what I have seen of the initial Omicron booster trials, it's probably the case that they're simply unable to stimulate much production of updated/modified antibodies, which is making it impossible to demonstrate any clinically significant effectiveness against the disease. But now they won't have to!
I had thought that JetBrains products requires a licence, unlike VSCode which is free in regards to monetary cost.

However - the main gripe this community has with VSCode is that it is only partially open source. Microsoft adds extra bits to the code that is not open - mainly the items around telemetry. You can get around this with VSCodium or VSCode-OSS, but those are arguably forks and not a MS product.
No, what the ruling said was the government couldn’t treat him differently because of his religion. Are public employees not allowed to pray on the job?

Same logic applies elsewhere. Should governmental employees be banned from wearing hijabs(they’re a public form of religious expression)? Should we ban/fire a Muslim employee for praying in public(if there’s no available private space) while working as a member of TSA? Limited powers on governmental religious discrimination is a good thing.
You make a joke out of it, but this is how business works. You provide a customer a product or service and generally are not responsible for whether your product is used for good or bad. An incredible array of generic products can be used in harmful ways but are generally available.

You as a consumer may drive your car to the grocery store, fill up your cart, have lunch at some junkfood place and drive back home. You've now committed countless harmful acts if you were to trace back the supply chain of everything you consumed.

But now you don't care. It's all hypocritical virtue signalling.

Unity is the #1 game engine used today. It started from nothing and bypassed Unreal. That's a very impressive feat. Also, it is so much easier to use than Unreal. So I don't see the problems you are talking about.

I usually just tell them to go churn butter and stop driving their own car if that's a real position they have. I don't think I've ever heard a sillier position, ever.
Seems to me the same way we treat environmental damage, though in that case most of the suffering will fall on our kids and grandkids. But even the choices young adults are making today aren't really compatible with having a decent planet to live on in 60 years or so, barring some technological miracles.

I'm learning so much about a market I'm entering. My company is https://www.adama-platform.com/
Taxis in my city are exempted from temporarily blocking bike lanes to unload or load passengers. There was (and still isn't) such an exception for TNCs, so them doing it is illegal.

The number of taxis is also capped (medallions), so the number of taxis in bike lanes was limited.

Then TNCs came along, and the number of taxi-like trips exploded, and suddenly there are far, far more drivers blocking bike lanes.

Furhermore, taxis were far better to deal with if you're a cyclist. There is a dedicated police unit for dealing with reports of problems with vehicle condition/cleanliness, operation, billing, etc. If you call in with a problem, a record is kept of such complaints, and a sworn officer investigates. Taxis have to carry a fairly high level of insurance.

And generally speaking, taxis were better for everyone, because: They are subject to random police inspection for condition, cleanliness, and adherence to regulations. They are required to pick up or drop off anywhere in the city, and can be fined if they refuse service from or to a particular area. They are required to have a certain number of handicapped-accessible vehicles and accommodate handicapped service requests.

TNCs, as they are called, have skirted all of this. In my city they turned out to generate a massive number of excess car trips - causing a huge increase in pollution and congestion.
I would find it odd if they were not using precise positioning using local reference stations broadcasting corrections over IP or RF.

So what I didn't know was the origin of the word "master" in relation to housing.

"The phrase "master bedroom" first appeared in the 1926 Sears catalog, according to the real estate blog Trelora. It was a feature of a $4,398 Dutch colonial home, the most expensive in the catalog, referring to a large second floor bedroom with a private bathroom."

https://lite.cnn.com/en/article/h_971e3114fec2c583d17a32ac8c...

1926 was only 60 years after the civil war, an era where the evils of slavery will still felt by those, also a year that the KKK still had marches in DC.

https://www.loc.gov/resource/cph.3b39318/

The KKK even had political influence:

"In the case of the Democratic Party, the key battleground was the 1924 Convention. The Klan endorsed William Gibbs McAdoo, the frontrunner for the nomination."

http://www1.assumption.edu/ahc/1920s/Eugenics/Klan.html

So the only question that remains was Sears and Roebuck racist? Some think they were, others point to the fact that they enabled blacks to still purchase from the Sears catalog.

Another option is that Sears was just marketing the house to the consumers that existed at the time. In 1926, what rich KKK sympathizer wouldn't like to sleep in the "Master Bedroom" gloriousness of the 1860's?
Most human rights seem pretty universal to me and really not that hard to determine, but at the end, it's the country that hosts the company, isn't it?

People don’t come out of LOTR and think “hey you know what’s bad? Industrialization.” They don’t come out of Star Wars thinking about fascism. They definitely don’t come out of the matrix thinking about LGBTQ issues.

They come out thinking about killing orcs, killing storm troopers, and killing agents in slo motion.
With a market that big, you don't need international regulation - just ban imports on products which are not manufactured or shipped according to the same standards. You'll see widespread adoption of them all over the world in no time.

The problem is that you'll also see the prices rise accordingly - after all, the main reason why everything has been outsourced elsewhere is cheap labor, and one of the reasons why labor is cheaper elsewhere is worse labor protections.

Nevertheless, we could have done that. The fact that we haven't, to date, is implicit admission that we don't actually care about labor abuse, so long as it happens out of sight.
Here's an idea for a AR device: It will be a wearable glass like Google Glass - it holds majority of the processors, sensors, battery and networking radio. This wearable can be built to very high quality today.

Now for overlaying AR content - Use a low power laser (mounted on the frame) to project on the retina directly. This is the harder unsolved tech.

Low power laser would project a monochrome image as in the contact lens device mentioned in the article. Eventually this laser could be replaced by a LED projector.
It was essentially killed during Google I/O (May 2017) when Google announced that it would add Kotlin as an official programming language for Android development. This gave Kotlin a huge boost in visibility at a time when a number of languages including Ceylon were competing as alternative JVM-languages. RedHat understood that and a few months later it was announced that Ceylon was being donated to Eclipse which was a euphemistic way of saying it was now abandonware.

It's too bad because I personally preferred Ceylon over Kotlin.
I've never had that happen, but that does sound pretty terrible. It might be worth installing a second browser exclusively for use with zoom as a possible temporary fix.

I'd like to see an attempt by the subject to work with an artist to draw what they experienced. I believe what we're seeing is external "takes" on what people subjectively think it looked like, not a subject-centric view.

Where the virtual field projects in 3-space. How it moves with head and eye movements, and focal shifts. What apparent pixel resolution it had, not the imputed DPI, the experiental effect of the actual pixelcount in the field.

Did it flicker. Did it rainbow.

Otherwise, Did it promote Nausea. Did it fail to blank when the eyelid was shut. Did it shut off, when wanted to be on.
And yet C++ still rules. So I guess C++ says "Fuck You" right back.
I think there are two group opinions in this discussion and both are correct: The concept of Wayland is great and well-implemented. The implementation of Wayland is bad. Now if only the first group would trust the second's experiences with Wayland. It really is trash.

Firefox will stop updating the window contents but will still accept clicks and keypresses. You can either start a new Firefox process or go to the application switcher to see the updated window contents.

> Q: Do I get interest on my deposit? A: No[, but...] We periodically reevaluate this situation, because we think a web account that runs forever purely off of its own interest is a pretty cool idea.

NFSNet also has an interesting part in their FAQ in response to the question If I think services you host are currently unavailable due to lack of funds; is there anything I can do?, they outline a process whereby third-parties can fund a hosted service by creating an account themselves, depositing funds into their own account (NFSNet services are prepaid instead of billed after the fact), and then submitting a manual (but free) request to transfer those funds to the original accountholder based on the service's domain name. I've always thought this was interesting because in theory someone could set up a community, disappear, and then the community could step up to keep it funded long enough for the person to get out of the hospital/be rescued at sea/etc, so long as the infrastructure is solid enough to remain operational without being attended to (not vulnerable to exploits, etc.)

They've also got a policy where if the member who operates the service is a willing participant, they can publish their NearlyFreeSpeech.Net account ID and have donors add funds to cover 100% of service costs via automated transfers. <https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/about/faq#Lifeboat>

A lot of these complaints seem to boil down to a couple of key issues:

1) Wayland isn't X11. Applications whose core purpose is interacting with X11 features (e.g. xrandr, xprop, window managers) won't work on Wayland.

2) Screen recording on Wayland remains an incompletely solved problem, and a lot of applications don't support it yet.

3) Global key capture is, similarly, not a solved problem.

Good security doesn't prevent users from executing a legitimate use case though. A user can have legitimate reasons for wanting to share a certain window or their entire screen with a process like Zoom. Once you start preventing users from executing their use case you turn the user into an adversary. They'll start undermining your security model and you will always lose that fight.

This is why permission models exist, make the user aware of the security implications and allow the user to decide on a per-app basis what permissions should be granted. Make the user complimentary to your security model rather than making them an adversary.

This is a gross misrepresentation. Civil servants can follow processes within the bounds set by Congress and are required to follow agency processes which are set carefully, with deliberation and public comment. There are appeals processes and the court system as remedies.

Yes, you hear about “abuses” – that’s because there’s an entire industry pumping out propaganda to support outcomes like this. The vast majority of the time when you look at the details it turns out either to be substantially different than claimed or a problem created by the Congress which the agency would prefer not to be saddled with.

The underlying problem here is that the Congress keeps getting slower & less functional. Delegating power more broadly helps reduce the impacts of that but at some point we have to make the Congress work better and that’s really hard to do when one of the major parties has a platform based on the idea that the government should be dysfunctional.
Vim 8 changed a lot of defaults - it enabled things like search as you type, scrolling as the cursor moves down the page rather than at the last line, etc.
