Modals are a tool. Like any tool, they may or may not be the right tool for any particular situation, and it is possible to over- or underuse. Pretty easy, really.
Intuitive might not be the perfect term; clear, unambiguous, predictable behavior might describe it better. There was a lot of research into such interfaces and improving functionality decades ago. But when users stopped being the customers it was quickly discarded.
A corporation is made up entirely and exclusively of humans. Machines, buildings, vehicles, software - these are no more part of the corporation than your own car or phone is a part of you.

The legal definition of a person is very clear. Even the logical definition is actually quite clear: anything that can possibly exercise most of the rights of a human in a meaningful way can be considered a person.

Can a horse own a piece of land in the same sense that a human does? Not really, as a horse simply can't exercise the right to sue someone who would infringe on its property rights even if it were granted one. Sure, a small child or an adult in a coma may be in a similar situation, but the child may eventually grow up and become able to exercise such a right, and the adult may eventually wake up from that coma.

A machine of any kind that actually exists today is far farther from being able to recognize and exercise any human-like rights than the horse is, in fact. So it's even more absurd to assign copyright to a machine than to an animal.
Seems more likely that "up to 70km" refers to a full day with full sun at an ideal location and time of year, not a full day with the car mounted on a solar tracking system.

That would roughly match what Aptera is claiming. Aptera has a more radical design, but looks like it might have less panel area.
> Imagine if Apple told Ukraine employees to label Russia on their badges.

Absolutely, this is crazy bullshit. Let's share it everywhere, 'cause without mass highlight situation isn't going to change: Apple just picking up the side with bigger money.
Oh, I guess my second paragraph is not a good enough explanation?

The key leaked, which means anyone that has the key can generate all the IDs from videos uploaded before 2017. If your key ever gets out, you face the same problem. The secrecy of all existing IDs is gone.

With HTTPS, you can rotate keys often, older connections would have to have been packet-captured to get decrypted, and newer connections mandate perfect forward secrecy.
Reverse-engineering a 1960s hybrid flip flop module with X-ray CT scans
I don’t know exactly where the line is when it comes to who’s responsibility it is about “products made in China” but I would make the argument that trying to push decisions focused around things like national security, geopolitics, macroeconomics etc down to the consumer level is basically a bullshit move.

Regular people don’t have the right level of knowledge to make those decisions and it’s not realistic to expect that of them. I would much rather talk about the party who not only had the right level of information but was also the one who actively made the decisions that lead to this situation to begin with.

At the end of the day Apple have a lot more to answer for than regular consumers.
It might be better now but for years forms in modals were a huge pain in the ass on tablets. Basically the modal pops up, focuses the form, which opens the keyboard, which pushes half your modal off screen.
>US (sadly) adheres to the One China Policy

How terrible of them to adhere to the policy Taiwanese themselves prefer!

EDIT: To clarify, from what I remember the public opinion on Taiwan independence has been steadily shifting and now it’s the majority’s preference compared to becoming another province of China. At the same time the vast majority of Taiwanese prefer the option “let’s keep things as they are now”, if that option is available in the poll. Taiwan does have some special ties with continental China, particularly in economy and travel; it’s more like EU than two entirely unrelated countries.
It is possible to disagree with a state and it’s policies while being fine with its people. I’d put quite a few countries in this category.

I’m pretty confident that’s not what the UAE are doing, and don’t support them.
> I don't want to spend $1300 on a phone

It is worse than that. The regular Librem 5 is $1300, but the one made in the US is $2000.
Extreme heatwaves: surprising lessons from the record warmth
I feel like the major consideration is: do you have kids or pets? Then get one. Otherwise, probably not worth it.

If you have small-ish kids, you end up vacuuming everyday one way or the other. A Roomba's a decent stand-in for that. When my kids aren't at home, I mostly get by with my stick vacuum. (There the battery-driven ones really are nice.) With the stick vacuum it doesn't tend to leave my cables and rugs in random places, which makes the daily non-kid-time vacuuming similar levels of effort.

I assume pets are a similar deal, though I'm not a pet person.

One thing that hadn't occurred to me before getting the Roomba is that it vacuums a lot of places I wouldn't regularly get to on my own (e.g. under the sofa), and there's some benefit of having a cleaning session frequently that gets to a lot of those places that are otherwise hard to reach. But again, with kids not at home, I run it about once a week.

I'm genuinely curious about the mopping ones since I don't mop often, and always like it when I do. ;-)
this makes me ask: "all that for what???"
You may want to use Format specifiers or fstrings (>py36) for a „more pythonic“ code.

Also why do you annotate every variable, even if the type can be deduced automatically? That’s going to be a real PITA if you want to refactor the code e.g to support floats instead of ints any time in the future (in this case it’s probably just a hypothetical problem)
Sounds like Tim Ferris tbh. His cookbook attempts to teach you hunting and basketball skills iirc. Maybe some kind of travel hacker community: "I spent two months learning to cook pasta in Italy" or similar, but idk.
Create a subreddit and keep advertising it on places like HN. And don't give up moderating it or make it look abandoned.

At some point I'm sure you will get critical mass. There are a lot of people exactly like you.
Plug-in drills are much better than battery. :)
> Isn't the problem that online sellers (e.g., Amazon) usually don't tell you this on the website, so you have no way of finding out until it arrives?

I’d say the problem is when you (not you specifically) claim to care about buying things that are made in China and then not do any basic research on the products and their origin. Also just don’t buy from online retailers like Amazon. It’s just a digital Wal-Mart.

> This is only true because the government holds the price of milk artificially high.

Sure it was just an example.
Oh my god, they're going to use them to sonar the interior of all of our homes.
It's erroring out on me but I wanted to try one of my stackoverflow questions from long ago that still gets frequent votes:

Every 15 minutes except at 3AM?

Stackoverflow responses say it can't be done in one line.
New dataset shows the value of building flexibility to the energy grid
Basically the Fed (a privately owned institution) print money out of literal 'thin air', then lend it at interest to the US Government and banks etc. Which in practice means there's literally never enough money in circulation to pay off the 'debt'.

The IMF is an extension of that, they lend money to countries, then siphon off that countries assets in return.

Look up the Federal Reserve Act 1913 also.

Now I have a mental image of a corporation whose sole purpose is to be the legal person for an AI.

> It doesn’t make sense for an algorithm to own anything.

Current AI might be that. I don't know when AI will end up with a rich inner world of experiences, but I bet it won't be the exact same moment the law recognises it as such.

I'd go even further: even if it somehow becomes possible to prove absolutely that some AI is sentient (which would be a remarkable development in the philosophy of mind), I'm fairly sure people will argue against such a proposition at least a decade after an AI passes such a test.
I really do hope the technology to identify (chemically) what it is sucking up is not available because I can only imagine what Amazon could do with that information (well, other that send it to police without a warrant like Ring videos).
The bar for China successfully leveraging some damaging information on a US citizen in the US is pretty high. Meaning they have to have something very damning against a person in a position of interest. Not impossible but narrow.

The bar for leveraging general information about a regular US citizen in the US by a company like Amazon or the US government is very, very low. One thing I see happening really soon (if not already) is such data being used by medical insurers to algorithmically decide your coverage and rates. Or for authorities to use to establish whatever pattern they want that can be damning even if circumstantial.

Looking around, all of this already happens in the US even without the help of an extra massive data collection net. From companies like Google or PayPal algorithmically locking you out of your critical digital identity, your paid services, your money with simply a boilerplate "sorry not sorry, don't let the door hit you on your way out", to authorities stealing all your neighbors' smart doorbell recordings to see what you have been doing and Stingraying the hell out of everyone on the off chance that they're going to catch the person they're looking for. Anything that makes that easier or opens up more avenues to do more of that is definitely going to be used (and abused) as such.
Tell your friend to tread carefully with requests like this.

My yearly "Business Conduct Training" (required by my employer) explicitly lists things like this as against company policy, a fireable offence, not to mention potentially illegal (circumventing embargoes, trade restrictions or sanctions).
Flash memory vendors unveil PCIe 5.0 SSDs, latest spec for CXL interconnect tech
You can use the UBlacklist addon to achieve that.
With Alexa, there is a manual hardware switch where you can turn off the microphones. With Echo Show, there is a manual hardware shutter for the camera.

I'm not sure if that is the answer to privacy concerns, but at least it is there.
Great, using "never" as prompt results in:

"At 12:00 AM, on day 31 of the month, only in February"
The more obvious (to me at least) way to solve this is to not mix broadcast domains/subnets on a switch without keeping them in separate VLANs. I would assume the router and the NAS box would support tagging/untagging, and then you could keep the ISP network on the default untagged vlan.
Why couldn't you just run physics at the graphics frame rate (or double it if the graphics becomes too slow)? I don't think many games need fully deterministic physics do they?

Like

x += v * dt
draw(x)

Or is that what this does?
I think there's a similar lesson to be had about the limits of trying to control what everyone believes.

X percent of people believe the earth is flat and XX% percent believe that aliens that abduct humans.

Some people have a huge issue with this.
There is a lot of misinformation about virus infectivity. When a cell is infected, it is turned into a 'virus factory'. It starts to make copies of virus. It also starts to make a large number of the components that are assembled within the cell to make a functional virus. Each one needs 1 of this, 12 of that etc and this continues until the cell 'lyses' =breaks apart releasing whatever is in the cellular envelope. .
Think like a car factory = 1 engines, 4 tires, 2 head lights etc. - a car with 3 tires, or one head light etc is not functional.
So covid has steadily evolved to create all it's sub components in the exact ratio to make the maximum number of virus particles before the shift is over = cell breaks and all the workers go home.
They call this the 'viral kinetics' and the maximisation explains the speed of spread.
In theory 1 particle can infect, but in practice it can take more due the the number of particles missing parts. The optimisation that has occurred in the past 2 years has gradually increased the rate of production of viruses as well as decreased the number of broken viruses created until the cell breaks open = increases the chance of getting the disease with only 1 particle. In practice there are usually multiple particles in a tiny blob of exhaled saliva.
Then we get an infection. The virus starts to breed - the innate immune system is ready 24/7 to destroy these, but we have a low level of innate immunity. The next stage is the adaptive immune system - have we had this before - if yes start the adaptive response. In 5-10 days the adaptive response starts to suppress the infection and get the upper hand. If we have not had this before = 3-5 weeks.
Vaccination and boosting gets our adaptive system ready with signals we have fought this before and this is why vaccinated people get a less severe infection. Paxlovid introduces 'left hand threads' into the nuts and bolts of viral reproduction and suppresses infection and give the adaptive system a leg up.

There are smart people that live in rust belt cities, there's just fewer of them in any given city than in all of the Bay Area. For a company it'll be harder to keep that rust belt city staffed. It's also unattractive for employees to move there since there's fewer tech employers. In the Bay Area someone can walk out of Google and find a job pretty quickly with the same length commute. If someone relocated to Cleveland they can't necessarily do the same thing and face a prospect of relocating again.

Remote work is one way rust belt cities can revitalize themselves. There's a lot those cities can do to attract remote workers even if they're not attracting the companies themselves. Their states need to help by harmonizing some employment and tax laws with the states where tech companies are based. No one is moving to Cleveland if a "no working for competition" clause in an employment contract is legal in Ohio.

Side note: I don't mean to pick on Cleveland but it's sort of the rust belt poster child.

My car only gets to 60mph (~96kmph) in 10.5s, had it for 10 years (bought new), seems fine so far. Rarely have to floor it. It is a pretty common one too.
Slack was broadcasting hashed passwords for 5 years
Byte Magazine: LISP (1979)
"The bug we discovered was in this invite link event: along with the information about the shared invite link, we included the hashed password of the user who created or revoked the link. This information was sent over the websocket to all users of the workspace who were currently connected to Slack."
The amount of salt in photo #6 is too much salt. Its very easy to over-salt anything and ruin it. Better to under-salt until you gain enough experience with judging how much you actually need.

As for putting the meat grinder in the freezer, I'd like to know if restaurants do that or not. Because I highly doubt it. Seems very silly.
Sentience is a characterization that we ascribe to something, not a natural fact that can be indisputably identified in things. You can't convince someone that sentience exists in something that they categorically don't believe can have it. They can always just say that you're redefining it.

The question of what legally counts as sentience will be determined piecemeal and politically as the issue becomes relevant, and revisited as new political and ideological regimes take hold and as new innovations challenge prior determinations.

All along, there will be people who are convinced that sentience only applies to humans or biological things or whatever, and people who are convinced that it applies to anything that can perform a certain way under certain conditions, and then also people with all sorts of other convictions.

The issue will not be settled in your lifetime, so if you're so invested in your belief that this already feels like discrimination to you, plan for a lot more frustration and tumult in your future.
Right behind Russia. Who would be defeated in Ukraine with a hand full decommissioned f-16s and a-10s.
You can absolutely tap to click on a Mac trackpad. I don't know what the default is, but this behavior is configurable in system preferences.
It absolutely works great for single cluster/region. Most users actually do run it this way.

While this list is not comprehensive, we see SpiceDB being considered often for the following uses cases:

- Projects with microservices

- Projects with multi-region/cloud scale

- Projects with sensitive or complex domains (e.g. health care, finance)

- Projects that want tooling to ensure safety as they iterate on their designs
Messy coffee grinder? Spritz to fix
No, because that would be comparing the number of official packages + third party packages with duplicates in Arch against the number of official packages in Nixpkgs. That's as fair as comparing the number of official Nixpkgs packages + every unofficial Nix package on GitHub against the number of official Arch packages.
Gotta start somewhere.

Keep in mind, the Nokia bricks of the days of yore. They were still fully functional telecommunication devices. Just because the Librem is probably a glorified Raspberry Pi doesn't mean it isn't worth investing in to help grow the domestic supply chain.

The world is bound by Physics and miracles facilitated by networks. When faced with a toxic hub node, you route around, and reinforce alternative routes.
> She said, long before the war started, funny thing happened with a lot of involved companys.

Are you able to give any examples?
- Transparency is amazing, but it doesn't always mean clarity. We try really hard to say "why not just what" but you won't always have or easily get all of the context because there is possibly a lot of context.

- Async is really hard for new folks to adopt to, and it can be hard for people to adopt to "you will be measured on your results, not hours worked."

- I think we've done a really decent job of navigating an organization with a huge amount of cultures represented, but adapting and then adopting a "company culture" on top of that can also be challenging for team members to understand. (Think some cultures are more direct, and others reserved). This doesn't play out in any kind of battle, just as a leader having to be extremely well-versed in a lot of global culture aspects.

Happy to answer other questions (again, within reason) if there are others!
god, Flash wasn't suited for anything and yet somehow it got used for everything until Apple managed to kill it by keeping it the hell off the iPhone. It was kind of okay for so many things and actually great at none of them.

It might even still be in use at Cartoon Network, it's been a while since I last heard from my former co-worker in the dialup-delivered Flash cartoon mines who ended up as the animation director for Foster's and Titans but he sure was still using an old version of Flash/Animate long after the browser plugin was retired.

There's probably a lot of lessons in Flash's status as a tool that did a ton of different things half-assedly.
I think this would work: first, determine the range. For unsigned variants, we have whatever_max = (whatever)(-1), if it isn’t already defined.

That makes parsing the unsigned variant relatively simple. Undefined behavior would be end-of-game, but unsigned addition and multiplication will not invoke that (if you need he,p, look at your favorite multiple-precision library for ideas about detecting wraparound)

For parsing signed integers, derive the min and max values of the signed variant from the max value of the unsigned one ((whatever_max - 1) / 2 or something like that

Then parse your input to the unsigned variant first, then check whether it fits in the unsigned version.
They're also a dereliction of the job of DESIGN. These are a lazy, undiscoverable, and ineffective attempt to avoid doing the necessary work to make a GUI: a GRAPHICAL user interface.

It's less to solar panels and more to poor use of solar panels and not wanting charlatans to sour solar panels for useful things by trying to scam people with them.

For this price you'd be better off buying a luxury ev, getting a new roof on your house and installing solar there. you'd have money left over and be able to actually put a meaningful charge on your car using solar that way.

It just doesn't seem useful to adopt a concept of "neutrality" so strong that no international organization meets it.

Actually, probably. If the item meets the specs and the price, that's what matters.

Just as there is no shortage of federal buildings, and even military installations named after Confederate things.
