Heh, no big deal, that "like" in the original was crucial and easy to scan past. These things happen.

> FWIW I agree on both counts, but I'm also saying is that podcasts are falling to centralisation pressures that plagued video since the very beginning.

More generally I think the Internet and the markets growing on it would be a hell of a lot healthier if we outlawed the creepy & dangerous mass data collection that encourages lock-in and monopolization, and the video market specifically (including streaming services like Netflix and friends) if we outlawed certain kinds of vertical integration there. Economy of scale is quite enough to push things toward monopoly, no need to have those factors amplifying the effect and increasing the harm of such monopolies.
I went through a Layoff a few years back (pre-covid but working remotely). Phone call with my manager + HR, all access terminated immediately (though I did get to say goodbye to a few coworkers via Linkedin). I'd been there a while so at least the severance was pretty decent and more than covered the transition while job hunting.
Expense tracking? Expense prediction? Could be useful for many things.
They work with Clevo to develop them[3], and make the hardware work with Linux[0], preferably in firmware (so you don't generally need the System76 driver). They also set them up with CoreBoot and open source EC[1].

Although Clevo can sell their own version of the hardware, it is not really the same[2]

[0] Based on my experience. I ordered a laptop a long time ago and they explained they were working with Clevo to get the firmware fixed so that suspending worked reliably. This is before the OpenBoot + EC stuff came about.

[3] Clevo is System76's ODM. Most OEMs (e.g. Dell, HP) work with ODMs to put together the final product the OEM then offers. I posted the public Dell ODM list in another thread. System76 wanted to bring laptops in-house; I don't know the status on that. But System76 and Clevo work together to offer the final laptop based in a Clevo base[4]. And now (like, in the last 4 years) System76 started also adding open source firmware in some places.

They are completely different categories of spending. The $100k is part of the costs to make the ad. Almost all of the rest of the $50.4M is the cost of run the ad. It's not sensible to compare them.
Others have mentioned the advantage in terms of burst errors. That is fairly common for radio signals coming from space. Think of an airplane flying through the signal path or something. I know in the NRO all of the radio downlink used BCH for error correction that could correct up to 4 bits per byte, and DPCM for compression, which also does particularly well with long runs of the same pixel value, something pretty common with space imagery (most of what you're looking at is black). BCH allows you to pick exactly how many bits per byte you want to be able to correct, which can be tuned based on known error characteristics of your signal. Part of it may just be these systems have been around a long time and we already have extremely well-tuned and efficient implementations that are known to work quite well with very large volumes of data inbound from space.
Will the JWST be able to make photos of black holes, similar to the ones the EHT made? And if yes, can the JWST be used to study black holes?
I just recently visited NYC for a week after a few years away. Got in mid-week and was taking the subway around during the day, and thought wow it's really made huge improvements in reliability recently. Trains were all coming quickly and all lines were running. Then the weekend came around and half the lines were being re-routed and waits were much longer with lots of announced delays.

The city does a good job, especially by US standards, of making public transit a reliable, affordable way for people to go to and from work. But as far as getting around in day to day life outside of rush hour it is much worse and there's still a big need for Taxis or Uber. And I think with the increase in remote work recently this is more of an issue now than ever.

I do have to say I'm impressed by the Apple pay/NFC payment rollout though. No more flimsy Metrocards to worry about swiping and refilling is a nice improvement.
Am I reading it right then, that the key problem of Amazon warehouse as a workplace is inconsistent application of corporate policies.
Yes, and also two of the trusses to the secondary mirror (these are the two additional horizontal lines). The Hubble Space Telescope gets 4 lines because of its 4 trusses.
Someone tweeting is not the same as knowing where they are physically located so they can be server legal papers or taken to jail.
I'm weirdly cheerful about being able to report that this isn't true. Backends do get pirated with sufficient motivation...mostly in games. MMOs spring to mind, but lots of games with online multiplayer get this treatment. Some of it is piracy, but some of it is because the developer is no longer supporting it, so the community stepped in with emulation.
The comment reads like you used JavaScript 10 years ago. For instance, just use arrow functions and this remains untouched.

Selling is definitely a pain. I usually donate unwanted items to local charity shops. For more specialist or other items they won’t take, I prefer to give them away on freecycle.org (or a local equivalent).

Friends tell me that my ridiculously large vinyl record collection (that I only really listen to a small sub-set of) would be worth a lot on Discogs but I find it hard to motivate myself to actually do it.
Aperture shape, so in this case I guess the answer is yes?

it's called a point spread function; and is an artifact that occurs in any mirror telescope. https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/james-webb-spikes/ explains it pretty well.
For landscape people you get far better wide-angle lenses, auto-focus systems which are way more consistent at the 50 MP mark and composition+exposure helpers (e.g. distortion-corrected viewfinder, histograms, zooming to 800 % in the viewfinder).

For people people you get eye-autofocus and eye-tracking (better DSLRs have done people and face tracking for ages, but one of the more en-vogue styles in people photography of the last couple years is ultra-large apertures with sharp eyes, and with DSLRs that's really pushing it, especially at 50 MP).

For media people you tend to get better video support. The latest flagships (e.g. 8K capabilities of the Z9) start to infringe on cinema camera territory (though with none of the connectivity, which would add an unacceptable amount of bulk to a photo/hybrid camera).

For sports people you get more images per image and no blackout at all (Z9 only, for now).

For wildlife people you get quiet operation (no mirror, no shutter necessary, depending on the model).

In terms of the image quality itself, the hypothetical spherical cow in a vacuum, there's no advantage per se, various DSLRs and mirrorless cameras use practically identical sensors. Tiny mark against mirrorless for PDAF pixels, but that's not a practical concern for any current camera. Shutter-less mirrorless avoid a possible source of IR contamination (the optical barrier used by the camera to time the shutter), but that's about it. Oh, and IBIS, obviously.
> Some believe that decentralization requires the entire social network to be on a blockchain. This is unnecessary and even undesirable. Social networks generate petabytes of data every year, which can be very expensive to store on-chain. Blockchains also make it difficult to delete data forever, which is a desirable feature for users. A network design that leverages on-chain systems to decentralize ownership while using off-chain systems for a better user experience is a better path to building social networks.

The article does indicate a blockchain is undesirable

Believe me I want those numbers to drop, that said we aren’t building more coal plants. The most recent coal power plant was 0.017GW in Alaska which happened to be near a coal mine and the location was a poor fit for nuclear, solar, wind, or gas. That might be concerning except the state is already down at 10% coal generation.

Every other coal project has been canceled, with none being constructed or even planned at this point. Coal’s share of production fell from 51% in 2001 to 20% and it just keeps dropping. In absolute numbers it’s a more modest 40% drop, but still falling.

Nuclear is unfortunately a poor replacement for peaking power plants like natural gas. The technology isn’t at issue just the costs relative to solar/wind backed battery systems.

Those e-gates really suck always. What's so hard about reading MRZ?
Because there's no objective metric for programmer productivity.
A tail call is a function call occurring in the final position of a function:

void foo(...) {
...
bar(x,y,z); // <= a tail call
}

If the function has a return value (vice void like above):

int foo(...) {
...
return bar(x,y,z); // <= still a tail call
}

In the way most languages are compiled, function calls generate a new entry in the call stack (a stack frame). This is necessary for all non-tail calls in order to handle the bookkeeping around what to do when the call finishes, how does the caller resume.

With tail calls, that additional stack frame has no real value (outside, maybe, debugging information to give you a stack trace but traces can be collected other ways). Tail call elimination (or tail call optimization) will reuse the current stack frame rather than construct a new one. This reduces the memory overhead (you aren't constructing unnecessary stack frames) and gives some performance improvement (less bookkeeping overhead, and the function call becomes a simple jump). These two functions can, in principle, get compiled to the same thing if you have TCE:

uint factorial(uint n) {
uint acc = 1;
for(; n > 0; n--) {
acc *= n;
}
return acc;
}
uint factorial(uint n, uint acc = 1) {
if (n == 0) return acc;
return factorial(n - 1, acc * n);
}

But while that's a recursive example, tail calls and tail call elimination (TCE) aren't just for recursive cases. My first two examples, though they are just sketches, show a non-recursive example of tail calls. With full TCE (it isn't uncommon to have TCE only apply to self-recursive cases) those examples would also have tail call elimination performed.
While it might not be clickbait it is definitely sensationalizing.

That usually leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of the reader.
The article I read asked airlines to not sell additional seats, meaning to go off on the amount of sold seats they already have.
Yes, most of those vacation photos look terrible. Good enough on a beach at midday, but in other lighting conditions they're often under exposed or blurry or backlit or just poorly composed. And in fairness to smartphone cameras, most of those problems are more due to photographer incompetence than device limitations.
I learned this the hard way. No luggage, airlines blame heathrow, and heathrow has no communcation channel, I think my only option is break in and try to find it myself. How you manage to get yours?
If you put a dollar value on your own time spent providing training and tech support to your parents, the iPhone options start to look much cheaper.

(QR code error correction is usually enough to let you just knock out part of it and put the text right there.)
While the GUI frontend part in GWT is indeed mostly abandoned by Google, they still use the Closure compiler (which is the evolution of GWT in a way) very heavily in all of their flagship web applications. That way, most of the business logic is written in Java on every platform (backend, frontend with the aforementioned compiler (which produces crazy good output), android, and ios with a similar objc compiler), and the frontend can be native everywhere, which is imo the best tradeoff.

HN two days ago helped me identify a random electronic dingus in my Honda as a dealer-installed remote entry and remote start thing from a brand called "Karr" which is in all likelihood a complete piece of junk, security-wise. I'm not even going to get worked up over OEM implementation details if dealers are installing backdoors.
This is why every company gets a different address for me. If junk starts coming in, that address is blocked, and I stop doing business with that company (if I haven't already).

This sometimes falls foul of spammers adding some random addresses of the form blahblah@mycatchall.domain.tld or <commonname>@mycatchall.domain.tld into their lists, but that hasn't happened often enough to be a problem. That it isn't much of a problem surprises me a little, given how much <commonname>@domain.tld (no sub-domain) addresses are used this way. I have considered trying the pattern somename@<sub-domain-per-company>.domain.tld as an alternative if that becomes a problem, but before implementing that I need to change my email setup (doing that anyway soon as running Zimbra's OSS version is going to get more difficult next year) and maybe my DNS server of choice (if wildcard MX records are an issue, I've not looked into that).

Sometimes I get funny looks for addresses like this, especially as I usually work the company/other name in there somewhere. I had one website refuse to accept an address based on their name, which was a rad flag and I backed away from going any further into dealing with that organisation.

npm is so tiresome. It did what it had to do for a long time but it's just a bear to deal with at this point. You ever tried installing a package from Github with npm? It literally takes likes 5 minutes on my M1 mac checking for vulnerabilities.

Some time ago I switched to pnpm and will NEVER look back.
I wonder how many people will cancel their family trees because their parents or grandparents could not abide their current lives. Why would you hold your grandparents to a lesser standard than strangers?
There is: don't rely on a single hosting provider for your material. Use Youtube as a CDN for material originating from a self-hosted Peertube instance and you're protected. Add some patronage/sponsorship/subscription options to replace or enhance any lost income from Youtube and you're set on that front as well.

Centralised services are fine to use as content delivery networks but they are not reliable as single sources for your material. Self-hosting - i.e. where you own the domain through which the material is distributed, you can choose to leave the actual hosting to a hosting provider since you always have the option of redirecting the domain to another address should the hosting provider fold in some way - gives control over a far larger part of the distribution chain, if the copyright police wants to block you they'll have to move down in the protocol stack to take down your internet access. We're not there yet and should it ever come that far there are ways around that as well (IPFS, I2P etc.).
> I wish these creators with other social media presence would use their platforms to move their audience to something besides youtube (they can even keep their youtube presence).

Coupling discovery and hosting means you're either killing your business by trying to do this, or finding temporary refuge with another soon-to-be monopolist that'll start abusing you in the same ways before long.
With network enabled SoC's costing $1 and associated charge controller, battery and solar cell coming in around $5 I could definitely see a future where people roll out their own clandestine internets in order to route around the centralized and regulated internet. The simplest form of this is a single access point set up as a piratebox allowing people within range to connect and download/upload files. It could be scaled to a large mesh network covering an entire city.

Which part of the title is sensationalized?

Because the title is almost a word for word copy of the actual announcement, straight from the CEOs mouth.
Two things can be true:

a) Uber was a crappy business model that required the exploitation of the labor force to raise money. If this fact can't be fixed for the company to be profitable, the company can shutdown or become a co-op for all I care.

b) Toronto and SF have banned sidewalk robots (until they "study" the situation i.e. until only monopoly transport companies can afford to wait around).
NYC had banned scooters and e-bikes till last year, and in fact spent precious police time chasing down delivery workers who motorized their bikes to reduce the physical drudgery of their work. So when the Guardian says "Uber broke municipal law", my question is always "How stupid were these laws?". Most of these city laws consistently over-index for the opinions of the wealthy retirees who can show up at 10am on a Tuesday to yell at their council meetings. So, if VC's want to fund lobby arms to move the needle in breaking through to these councillors, I'm here for it.
That “cap” wasn’t a previous policy. It’s the amount of tickets already sold!
Everything will be public eventually.

There's a bit on the data policy on wikipedia [1] but basically the operations costs are funded (in part) by people paying for telescope time. The project that is currently paying for the telescope gets exclusive access for a 1 year "embargo" period, after which the data becomes public.

The title says ANY tickets, which won't actually the case since the aim is a reduction in passengers and many flights won't be fully booked anyway

but the "clickbait" bit is the dramatic title, weak definition of perhaps, but its still excessive

I wonder if PCBs play a part in it. I was reading that thanks to Monsanto pushing PCBs like they are candy has resulted in basically the whole world being exposed to them.

They're hormone disruptors that cause a lot of side effects like decrease of intelligence, weight gain, early/late puberty and it is impossible to escape them completely since even though they're no longer manufactured (at least not in the USA legally) they take a long time to break down in the environment.

Why wouldn't percentages be relevant? If one currency delivers a massive amount of utility and value to society while a tiny fraction of it is used for illicit purposes (i.e. USD), and another currency is overwhelming used for illicit purposes, with only a tiny fraction being used for actual utility, that is a meaningful comparison.
Yes, 1.48% of a very large number is still a large number.

> what reason you have to believe that is in fact the option? there are really quite few businesses with profit margins so high you could meaningfully raise pay purely by reducing profits.

What reason do you have to believe that profit margins are so slim?

My evidence for business being able to pay more is the existence of massive inequality. The superyacht seems to argue that there is more to go around than the financial statements indicate.

I saw that the current-gen AirPods Pro are at $170, which is the best price I've seen (and only once, last Cyber Monday). I assume this is because Apple will be releasing a new model, but it might be worth picking these up to save $100 if you don't care about what might be coming next.
You're not including bank holidays. The UK, for instance, has 20 days + 8-10 bank holidays. Italy has 20 + 10. Germany has 20 + 10. Denmark 25 + 11. France 25 + 11. Spain 22 + 14. Finland 25 + 11. I could go on...
