Yeah we just recovered a lost bag thanks to an Airtag. The airline’s system thought it was still at the origin city, but we knew exactly which terminal it was at, and we just went there and asked in person. Never checking any bag without an airtag ever again.
That's not at all accurate.

It was more like:

Yeah and if you want some order them now, there's been a flood of articles (and comments!) recommending this approach, so no doubt they are flying off the metaphorical shelves.

I hit up 2 Apple Stores and a few authorized resellers in my area and everyone was out of stock. I ordered mine online and it still took a few weeks to get it.
That poor kid has been studying for two and a half years now. I really hope she's able to pass that test; it seems like a real nightmare.

That aside, do we know the claim was really bogus? The article doesn't seem to mention that. It does seem like a rather easy grift to just nab a bunch of MP3 files plus some artwork from DeviantArt, throw them into IceCast or whatever, and go live on YouTube. I've listened to a few similar streams (not this one in particular since the "lo-fi hip-hop" genre isn't my thing) and just kinda always assumed the whole YT meta was basically a bunch of pirate radio stations.
But, the inferred data is supposed to help us determine what I might see if I could teleport there (and time travel, not die, etc)—right?
Early digital compact cameras were terrible compared to phones today.

On the other hand they were revolutionary compared to film cameras, so it didn't really matter.
It's surprising that no one in the room was like yeaaahh let's push the date up a bit. It's a great meme though.
Capitalized "ANY" is certainly a clickbait trick.
I use two Nikon N90x bodies with AF-D lenses and occasionally shoot 4x5 as well. I develop and scan the negatives myself and make traditional prints in a darkroom. The only thing I really use my iPhone (13) camera for is for taking visual notes of things I need to refer to later. It's convenient, but the small sensor of a cell phone cannot replicate the look and feel of a large format film camera.

Most professionals have moved on though, for sure. It is going to be interesting to see how things continue to develop.
Yes, perhaps more regulations would help the matter. Except Uber also (sometimes illegally) lobbies governments to prevent regulation, as this leak has shown.
In a world where Anne Frank is being called on her white privilege, no name is probably acceptable.
Asks, not tells them to stop (and most airlines are still selling tickets, likely because many people that would be traveling now won't be so there will be spare capacity) - the problem is the article a) is a bit dramatic and misleading with the title, and b) isn't of particularly high quality anyway
Not so much exploited as given the opportunity to trade vehicle depreciation for immediate cash, likely at a discounted rate. That also assumes the opportunity cost of the driver’s labor is zero is as well.
I can answer that as I own a Z9 and was I am interested in the tech as well. Essentially, it is using a "Stacked CMOS" sensor that has a readout time of ~1/270 s. For comparison, the Z7ii is 1/30s if I am remembering correctly. Essentially, it just reads out the data on the sensor fast enough to hide any shutter artifacts (with the exception of LEDs, but this happens even with mechanical shutters as well, and isn't that big of a deal)

The only other camera from the big 3 flagships that matches this speed is the Sony A1 with 1/250s. The Canon R3 is 1/180s. It has a mechanical shutter, but I think the Z9 proves that its worth the omission in 99% of the shooting scenarios. Especially when it is coming in $1000 cheaper than the Sony.

Edit: I was beaten to it!
Can you ship a router for cheaper? I'd be interested in hearing about your logistics setup.
Apparently they don’t have enough staff.

Focus also shifts with aperture, it's impossible to have an open loop system that works accurately. Some lenses will front focus wide open, be spot on at f4 and back focus after that, or the opposite. Or be spot on wide open and oof when you stop down.

I am genuinely perplexed as to how someone could get that from this title.

> British spellings of foreign words really cause tremendous damage to the pronunciations used by rhotic speakers.

It's such a strange thing to use an 'r' to modify the sound of the preceding vowel, and it's not even as if it's 100% consistent, because all English is a mess.

This expectation also leads to comical situations like the typical British pronunciation of "pasta". I guess the Italians should have spelled it parsta.
Yeah like, I would have disagreed at first too, but he has a point there.
The Turbo/Borland distinction was present for both C and Pascal products from Borland all the way up to Turbo/Borland C++ 4.5 and Turbo/Borland Pascal 7.0.
Your article says the same thing as the one you call clickbait. They are already over the target cap, and they are asking for no additional ticket sales as a means of preventing going further over the cap, and indicating that if the numbers sold get worse, they will be forced to impose flight cancellations and may prohibit rebookings for passengers on any cancelled flights since such rebookings would defeat the purpose of reducing passengers.
>How do I convince someone to give me a job to work on low level systems, even as a junior?

>Should I continue working on low level projects and hopefully they are good enough, or there are other approaches?

The way i had done this in the past was to really learn the language well (today you will also have a GitHub repo of projects to show), practice algorithms/data structures/interview questions in C/C++ and finally, understand the tight coupling between C/C++ and underlying OS i.e. "Systems Programming". This is the preparation phase.

In the execution phase, you contact companies/recruiters/friends/anybody at all with suitable openings and make it very clear that you really really want the job even if it means taking a pay cut i.e. Salary/Money should not be the goal. Make it clear and open that you are looking for a break into that domain and you are willing to put in any Time and Effort reqd. Finally, try smaller companies rather than big ones at first; their requirements are less strict.

The Insane Study Routine of Sir Isaac Newton
The job roles involved (security staff, baggage handlers, cabin crew) often have poor pay and undesirable working arrangements (e.g. unsociable hours).

The current high level of employment means people are able to choose to not do that kind of undesirable work.

When Airports and Airlines do manage to find staff to fill the jobs, they have to go through a government background check process for security reasons. That process has a huge backlog at the moment.
My newest startup idea is to devise a continuous series of tests meant to gauge how much of a shit interview candidates and companies give a shit.

It is like leetcode meets tinder meets GaSaaS.
Ah, but you see, giving a shit doesn't scale. It's certainly not web-scale, anyway.
why do they have a legal responsibility to respond but are somehow exempt from the legal liability from acting in a harmful manner while failing to assert the legality of the claim?
> EA couldn't possibly turn a profit if each copy of the game required dedicated beefy-ass server hardware to support it.

I think the charitable interpretation of EA's (fantastical) justification, was that they were planning to have some shared agent-based simulations being run in the cloud (one per "region" — where the whole point of the SC5 "regions" was that they were a sharding boundary for this shared simulation); where your updates to your city would be (asynchronously) incorporated into that shared agentive model; and then the interactions of the agents flowing through that shared model, would get reflected back into your city.

In other words, it wouldn't have been an O(N) computing-power thing, but more like O(N^0.5). Something that would greatly benefit from economies of scale, insofar as a region with 16 tenants wouldn't require much more computation than a region with a single tenant — and likely there'd be a per-region cap on the total number of agents to limit total simulation complexity.

Of course, this isn't what they did; but I think it's what they were claiming they did. Maybe it was even what their marketing department had been misled into thinking they had already done (or would do soon after launch day), because it was something their engineering department had tried to do, but just never got operational "yet".
I'm not following this strategy. Did he need to buy an outbound ticket to go collect his lost bag?

Pakistan’s Airlift shutting down following funding crunch
1) was rectified pretty easily, there were X.500 implementations on top of TCP/IP. 2) was definitely annoying. They seem to have loosened restrictions on access to the specs these days.

X.500 (and X.400) got a lot of pushback in the IETF crowd because of the use of ASN.1, while all IETF protocols of the era were still plaintext. It's been enormously clear from then till now that binary protocols are superior in terms of network efficiency, and everyone has tools like wireshark / etherpeek / whatever rendering the human readability of packets a moot point.

Again the article covers that. The airport cannot enforce the rule but if the airlines do not play ball (and I suspect the airport has visibility on ticket sales), it can cancel flights wholesale.
Positions and names of NPCs, quest texts, encounter mechanics, texts said by NPCs, I think item names (not completely sure), etc are all stored in the server and are sent over the wire to the player from the server. That’s quite clearly a copyright violation.
That's definitely overwhelming. After reading it for 5 minutes though, there is a type called Telegram and it has a field called 'Opts' that has a lot of different fields.

Those algorithms usually use non-tail recursion. Most tail recursion uses usually is trivial to rewrite in a loops.
It's really unclear what advantage the SLR design has now. It's more mechanically fiddly, and on the same platform (body/lens) requires faster base shutterspeeds when handheld.
First time I ever see an Emoji on Hacker News. Are they not filtered out anymore?
Corporations like having less competition by putting up barriers to entry, old media disliked new media which carried over to big tech (and the inter-company PR wars have been brutal) and politicians like being seen to "do something" about whatever problems are in the news.
No, they've asked them to stop selling tickets for the time period in question because they are already 1500 passengers/day over the cap, and are expected to be 4000 over if sales continue. They are also threatening to cancel flights (and not allowing rebookings of those whose flights are cancelled) if necessary to maintain the cap.
If Uber were holding guns to peoples’ heads and forcing them to work, then I would most definitely condemn them. But people work voluntarily for Uber. So I can’t see that as oppressing them.

But then they turn around and burn 100x (or more) the cycles-at-idle of 90s operating systems and constantly hit disk for no clear reason despite all this supposed performance-enhancing caching (try using Vista or newer on spinning rust—it's very clear that they're constantly doing disk I/O for normal shit like opening the start menu or just mousing over some UI elements, so much for "smart" caching of frequently-used things at boot).

I absolutely do not think intelligent caching is behind enough of the increased memory use to absolve them of all the waste. I don't believe Microsoft are being more respectful of memory than they are of other system resources. It also fails to explain the huge increase in memory footprint of Linux desktop environments and window managers. I don't think XFCE is caching your most-used "apps" in memory at launch.

In Ireland, the minimum wage is €10.50 per hour and the standard work week is 40 hours, that works out to €420 full time minimum wage per week.

At Dublin Airport, security staff are only guaranteed 20 hours per week, need to be available for 40 hours per week, and entry level workers are paid €14.14 per hour.

Guaranteed pay: €282.80 per week, i.e. 67% of the minimum wage.

Are there any surprises why there are staff shortages?

I agree with scenario one but also think you went too simplistic on the second scenario. Even with a simple wifi password like you suggested, you still need to specify the uppercase letters and plenty of people might have trouble spelling tortoise correctly on the first try.

Nevermind the fact that my friends group tends to be about 50% passwords of the type you used and the other 50% of them use a randomly generated one from a pw generator or add enough random capitalization of things like family member names to make it awkward. More often than not, I end up handing them my device to type it themselves.

The QR code seems a much simpler solution once people know how to use them. Thanks to things like electronic menus at restaurants due to Covid more folks than you might realize actually do know what to do. If grandma can learn how to use a QR code to access the high school band concert program online (true story), then anyone can.

Based on some reviews, this is a sub-par router, especially in terms of reliability and 2.4GHz performance. Perhaps they're just trying to liquidate their stock of it and make a few bucks while they're at it.
It took like 5 months to cool web to operational temperatures rolling the telescope would create so much heat all new images would be useless until it cools down again.
Indeed. Perhaps the purpose of this message was to let all the projects know they get no advice but a permission and freedom to migrate anywhere. After a while, there may not be anyone to use a PaaS v2 anymore.
Thanks for pointing that out. I've added a question mark to the headline.

The OP says "Nikkei has learned", so presumably they have some source telling them this and how true it is depends on how reliable the source is.
Why not RAW?
Why would Calc I-II not be required to get an Econ degree? Derivatives are used all over basic microeconomics. Anytime you see the word "marginal" you're taking a derivative.
Well that's not a valid point. The router is $5. The shipping is $13.
Minor nitpick.

The Epson RD-1 is probably the first digital mirrorless interchangeable lens camera followed by the Leica M8. Understandably those were never meant to be replacements for modern SLRS.

The MFT format was the first autofocus mirrorless launching in 08. Sony was 2 years after that.

It's not surprising news, but it is news that a camera format that Nikon helped popularize, made them a household name, and has been making for about 70 years is now dead.
Kubernetes Mutations with Polaris
I always felt that streaming services had untapped potential in "playing" with content. Previously, a trivia game would need specific rights to use movie clips, but if the user has an HBO Max subscription and already could access all of those films, there isn't much harm in using clips (other than unrealized licensing fees).

In the same way, I hope Spotify is thinking of every way people may hear music. Not just active listening but trivia (like Heardle), radio shows, amateur documentaries, etc. The underlying technology is already there. I'm sure designers have many more ideas, but there is always the looming threat of Cease & Desist.
A lot of this is incorrect.

> For landscape people you get far better wide-angle lenses

What specifically? Just comparing Nikon mirrorless to Nikon DSLRs, the F-mount (for DSLRs) has, for example, the highly regarded 14-24mm f/2.8. What's the mirrorless equivalent to that?

> For sports people you get more images per image

I assume you mean more images per second? That much is true (eg 14fps for the D6 vs 30fps for the Z9 at full res).

> ... no blackout at all (Z9 only, for now).

This is... partially true. There is an inherent blackout in SLRs but that may or may not matter. Assume you're shooting at 1/500 shutter speed and you're continuous shooting on a Z9 you're going to get some inherent blackout because you won't be shooting 500fps (because you can't).

But here's the big thing with DSLRs over mirrorless: input lag for target tracking. An optical viewfinder ("OVF") is just inherently faster than any electronic viewfinder ("EVF"). For a lot of people that doesn't matter. If you're trying to shoot an animal on the run or a racing car then it probably does.

It's also worth noting that some DSLRs can also shoot shutterless and get a lot of the benefits of mirrorless.
I clicked that and it says it's a dupe. So like, should I be talking here or there?

Of course it would. Buddhism teaches karma, the law of strict retribution from which there is no escape. And because there is no loving creator God in Buddhism, there's no one you can appeal to for mercy, grace, or forgiveness. A perfect fit.
I've wondered the same thing. The only thing I can think of is some kind of god awful false positive rate. Which doesn't really make sense either considering the technology we have today.
You can make this arbitrarily difficult by moving more and more core functionality into the backend, to the point where the front end is little more than a bundle of cached assets for what's otherwise an online game. At which point, any replacement backend that reused these assets would inarguably be a derivative work infringing on the assets' copyright unless explicitly licensed.

You don't even have to go to this extreme to make conventional piracy all but intractable. As a concrete example, take Civilization 6, and suppose it had been released as a client/server application where the server handled all enemy AI. While creating functional but inequivalent replacement backends may not be terribly difficult — and might even lead to an interesting alternative AI ecosystem — reproducing the precise behavior of the vanilla AI via "black box" reverse engineering would require considerably more effort than cracking an offline game or reimplementing a backend that acts as a mere license server.

Compared to a traditional, fully offline model, moving large portions of a single-player game online would increase both upfront development costs and marginal cost and would be met with disapproval by a nontrivial fraction of potential customers who, for this reason, might choose not to purchase the game. It would also have a slightly smaller potential market to begin due to "always-on" Internet access being commonplace, but not universal.

Still, at this point, there are no real technical obstacles to developers adopting such a model.

In other words, I presume the forces keeping games "crackable" are primarily economic rather than technical.
> and it sort of raises the question of which is the "abomination[s] forced on us as an accident of history."

What I meant by that is the legacy of AMD64 having thousands of instructions, many of them with arbitrary opcode encoding, half-assed SIMD ISA instead of a proper vector ISA, and the ability to emulate an 8086, all purely for reasons of backwards compatibility. If you started designing a computing ecosystem completely from scratch, surely you wouldn't end up with an AMD64-based IBM PC descendant as your best idea you could come up with?
I suspect so too, but I'm not too sure they're really making any buck at all on it. Sounds like they're selling it for the cost of production
I'm a D500 shooter and don't plan on switching yet. I'll probably pick up a D850 at some point as the prices will inevitably drop as people make the leap and sell off their old gear.
