> Technically Matter can run purely local, no external web requests (well there are some attestation and certs that are confirmed by the Controller).

So Matter should work when the [W]LAN is up but there is no external DNS or IP connectivity?

> Then Matter devices use Endpoints and Clusters for control, device to device or Controller to device. Matter devices' Commissioning process is done in 2 ways - for Thread devices, they require the operational dataset of the Thread network, which is held by the Border Router, then the Border Router needs information about the Thread Device (Device ID, Discriminator, and PIN Code). This can be exchanged over BLE or NFC with the Controller (smartphone app like Homekit, Google Home, etc). If you have WiFi only devices then Commissioning is done via the Controller only. In both of these cases any DNS lookup would be done by the Controller.

Does the Controller optionally run DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS), DoT (DNS-over-TLS), DoQ (DNS-over-QUIC; which is easy to load-balance because it's UDP), DNS-over-CoAP, or plain-old unsecured DNS with optional DNSSEC validation? What about ENS (Ethereum Name Service; "web3 dns"; why was DNS reinvented for the smart-contract world? And what about Matter and IoT?

Found this which explains ENS, which is perhaps less obtusely more complex than your DNS-over-CoAP thing: https://www.cryptohopper.com/blog/6536-what-is-the-web3-doma... ( https://web3py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ens_overview.html )

> ENS domains work similar to traditional domain names, but with the new web 3.0 infrastructure, they can create decentralized applications and websites, and store data or files on the blockchain.

> The ENS is the new domain naming system built on top of the Ethereum network that enables users to create memorable and distinctive addresses or usernames. It utilizes Ethereum's smart contracts to provide supplementary services to the conventional DNS and manage domain name registration and resolution. ENS allows users to create a single username for all their wallet addresses, decentralized apps, and websites in a distributed ecosystem.

> ENS utilizes three types of smart contracts: the registry, the registrars, and the resolvers.

And of course there are better than PIN codes and CRL-less x.509 certs for entropy there. DLTs are specifically designed to be resilient to [mDNS] DDoS.
Quantum computer works with more than zero and one – Universität Innsbruck
I know two people personally who dropped out of PhD programs due to fraud in their departments. I never asked them too much about it, but I'm imagining it's related to not wanting to lose potential funding or waste years of research to a wrong conclusion.

Your link and what I said I support aren't the same thing. I'm going to ask you to ensure that you're responding to the strongest interpretation of what I'm saying (and maybe reconsider your priors if "DEI" to you means "explicitly favor applicants based on race"). I really don't like having to deal with motte and bailey, even if it's unintentional.

Google doesn't consider race or ethnicity (or gender or..) during the hiring or promotion process. Prioritizing someone's resume (e.g. giving them an interview first) because they're underrepresented is vastly different than hiring or promoting someone less qualified.
I took a Joyce class in college. We spent most of the time going through Ulysses chapter by chapter, but then the last week was devoted entirely to just the first page of Finnegan's Wake.

I can't claim to have read more than maybe 50 pages total, most of them toward the beginning. One thing that helps a lot is to read it aloud, at least softly. And do so with an over-the-top Irish accent. It does make a bit more sense then.

The modeling in iRacing is really striking in that way. It's good enough in practice that driving in the sim is extremely convincing, which makes the odd methods of exploiting the physics model that much more striking.

I saw a video a few months ago of people running an endurance race in iRacing, and they'd consistently drop their left-side (IIRC, it could have been right) tires off the track on a specific straightaway. My understanding is that a) they didn't lose that much speed, b) because of the reasons stated previously, it's fairly safe in the sim, and c) it kept the front left tire temperatures closer to the optimum for the full duration of the lap. Thinking on it, one of the things I found cool was that, in a way, it's not entirely unlike what real drivers will do with wet-weather tires, where they sacrifice the best line to hunt for wetter stretches.

Lost plenty of potential and actual users, and also gained a ton of protest-supporting users because that’s how they can best inflate the appearance of support for their cause (and also because HN attracted the attention of the hostile foreign agents who are instigating these social disruption movements in the West.)

Other way around, in my experience. We run a team of ~20 at our studio—the "A-team" all want to work on the smaller projects because they're usually more interesting, they have more control, they get to move faster, etc.
I guess that would work great even today for _internal_ emails, but as soon as they'll need to deliver emails to any address that's hosted behind gmail, outlook and probably other dominant players, there's a long list of configurations to make and maintain so that outgoing emails don't get bounced.

>Prof Gitte Moos Knudsen, Professor of Neurobiology and Chair of Department of Neurology and Neurobiology Research Unit, Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark, said:

>The authors justify the need for such a review by saying that it is a public misconception that depression is caused by low brain serotonin. The main misconception is, however, that depression is a single disease with a single biochemical deficit. Today, it is largely accepted that depression is a heterogeneous disorder with potentially multiple underlying causes. The review aims to uncover existing evidence for a serotonergic deficit, but the studies included in the review use methodologies that only generate proxies for the real question which is if synaptic 5-HT concentration and release are altered in (subsets) of patients with major depression.

>Prof Phil Cowen, Professor of Psychopharmacology, University of Oxford, said:

>I studied the role of serotonin in people with depression for three decades and I’m broadly in agreement with the authors’ conclusions about our current efforts, though I lack their adamantine certainty. No mental health professional would currently endorse the view that a complex heterogenous condition like depression stems from a deficiency in a single neurotransmitter

From my more distant (US) perspective, the classism in France is different. It's based on what university you went to, not who your ancestors were.
So the M2 MacBook Air has 2x the resolution, can drive a studio display as well (6.4x the pixels to drive as your external display, or around ~2x the pixels of your three display example) and that's a billion colours (/s lolololol marketing :D). The point it is driving substantially more pixels than your example even if those "aren't separate displays" - I'd be generally curious how many 6k/60hz displays your dell could drive as that would be a fairly good counter here.

Otherwise your reference laptop comes in at 0.7" vs 0.44", which I suspect also limits the sockets on the laptop, even without Apple's hatred of ports. I'm looking at the clearance of the usb-c ports vs the non-usb-c ports (ignoring the huge power one) and then looking at clearance on the usb-c ports on the new Air, and I'm not sure that there is the clearance for them.
"And reviews also vary widely in their conclusions – how they rate papers and whether they recommend editors to accept or reject the paper."

This is assumed to be a bug, and not a feature. A lot of this comes from different perspectives, weighting, etc. Widening the number of reviewers isn't going to reduce the variance on this. You see it in grant review panels as well, which are much more "discuss and engage with your fellow reviewers".

"We live in a very different world today than we did when journals were circulated through print: One with the Internet, where data and research don’t need to be circulated in limited and expensive publications. Research can be shared almost immediately with massive networks of scientists through blogs, preprints [1] , data storage platforms and online forums, at little to no cost."

One of the assumptions here is that this access is uniform. It isn't. During COVID-19, some senior scientists essentially went with "Publication via press release", when more junior scientists can't do that. The popularity of figures on my field's Twitter hashtag is astonishingly non-uniform, cuts out whole swathes of people (govt. scientists), and is only lightly correlated IMO with the impact of their work.

I will say that, when I was a junior scientist, getting some of my work in good journals carried it much further than internet distribution would have.

"Finally, other types of centralized platforms could be hugely important too. Journals currently have exclusivity agreements (meaning researchers can only submit to one journal at a time) but they also have different formatting requirements, which take a long time to fulfill. By one survey estimate, articles are submitted an average of two times before they are published, and formatting takes up a total of 14 hours per article."

The number of journals that only require formatting post-acceptance is growing, and is awesome.

When it comes down to it, I think peer review's biggest strength is actually something the author takes as a negative. It's not "This paper has only been reviewed by two people", it's that every paper in this journal has been reviewed by at least two people, plus the public. For a lot of papers, I'm actually skeptical that that number is lower than if we went with "Well, the community will review it in the fullness of time".

I studied accounting. We were told that Internal Control, audits, reviews etc. are the silver bullets to curbing corporate corruption and accounting scandals. When we reached master's level all that was thrown out of the window and the truth was that, those techniques are only there to serve nothing but regulatory and statutory requirements. Corporate ethics is practically non-existential.

The way scandals are exposed are almost always through whistleblowers. That is a fact. If you want transparency and honesty in a system, establish a bounty system and protect the whistleblowers.

I think having a public forum for publishing and reviewing is valuable, and then having journals or something similar, that produces curated selection of published science based on that public review.

It has the risk of being a B-team but it's also a good way to onboard new hires. You get a much higher turnover rate of new things to try, do, and learn. One place I worked did communications generation (PDF letters etc), we had massive clients and 300 hour projects and we had 3 hour simple letters. Churning those small ones out was the best way to get me to learn when I signed up. Just as long as someone sensible and experienced is watching. And some people just don't gel well with project marathons - I'm definitely a sprinter who loses focus on huge projects despite my years of experience. I'd rather do a lot of small ones.

It eventually got sold to a bigger more respectable company and those 300 hour quotes crept up north of 1000 hours and it was impossible to finish any job in under 10 hours but that's another story about internal red tape.
The problem is rarely corruption by funding in the way you're thinking - Merck going "Hey, can you take another look at those numbers?"

The problem is the pressure to get funding by being productive. Negative results are wildly harder to get funded. Less productive labs are at a disadvantage for grants. Which means, like any metric upon which people's salaries rest, people are tempted to game it.
While discussing who's big enough to buy Netflix, the article:

1. Failed to note market cap

2. Included a monthly graph of Netflix's stock price

3. Implied that "a major Hollywood studio" might be able to acquire it

New Zealand had the equivalent of 2000 US deaths yesterday. Australia 1500. The vaccines didn't keep people from dying, they postponed them to the next flu season.

The old and sick will catch covid and die. There is nothing you can do about it. Putting your head in the sand and hoping for a magic bullet to save us - vaccines, masks, lockdowns - just means that the rest of the health system will collapse too. We need to be realistic and prepare for a world in which life expectancy is 10 years lower and we need a lot more hospital beds.
Same, I can't stand multiple displays, and I spend a good amount time trying to adjust to it. I would always rather a single display to having to move my head around all the time.

I do think for many folk laptops have a piss poor screen res so I can understand using an external display if you have the option in such a case, but still not two for software dev.

If anything I take it as a positive signal when a company has an "amateur" website. If they are successful without a fancy modern-looking site, then it means that the product must be decent enough to sell itself, and the business owners are presumably putting their energy into the product & service and not just appearances.

I have no idea if this is true in general, but it seems to hold up in my own experience.

Agreed, riding bikes gives us a different perspective on it all. I'd say we're generally more aware of our surroundings and other vehicles. A lot of the suggestions just won't work.

Most of the driving is done where most of the people live. In those huge sparsely populated areas, you can stand next to an road all day and see only a few cars. Even on the interstates, it's not uncommon to be driving along without another car in sight on either horizon.
Is answering email at least this week exceptional? What learning curve a small business accountant has even? It’s not a factory with amortizing equipment, worker schedules, rolling production and distribution of expenses. I work with accountants all my life, and for small businesses it’s a matter of loading contracts, bank statements, invoices and salaries into an app, sorting expenses by legal category and that’s it. There is nothing to learn in a small business accounting, it is entry-level for this job title.
This sounds like every accidentally toxic (maybe sometimes no accident) contractor relationship I've ever seen.

The initial energetic kick off, the slow decline into unimportant details, lowered enthusiasm, and unreturned messages, and so on. Often driven by lack of clear scope from the client & a vendor whose enthusiasm far outpaces even the loose scope restrictions provided.

In this case, sure, the author bears some responsibility but from their account they seem to have gone in with a relatively clear scope.

The thing that really makes it all not smell quite right is that the pace of work didn't even get significantly better when the author agreed to a retainer contract, only when they cancelled it with a month still prepaid for work to be done. So the vendor, perhaps not completely or intentionally predatory in it's practices, moves quickly to get the client out the door without making too much of a fuss.

This is the unfortunate state things can arrive at even with the best of intentions, so hopefully that's all it was here too, but it still doesn't reflect well on then vendor. A disciplined contractor will work a bit more to keep a client on point and aware of progress towards goals vs. budget remaining, estimates for going out of scope, etc.

1-acre is pretty massive for a plot of land in the downtown core of the city. It can fit an entire apartment complex. The sale value is extremely high so the $1 million in revenue isn’t that attractive given the cost of holding the land.
