I've owned Neato, Roomba and Roborock. Hands down Roborock is what I recommend people to buy. Neato had such a great leg up when it first came to market by having the first, and best, Lidar implementation - but their product was marred by horrible customer support, batteries that are garbage and just general failures of hardware that are impossible / too expensive to fix. By the time I gave up on Neato I had 4 of the same robot that I was piece parting out as components died (again and again). Talk about a company that banks on eWaste to keep the sales cycle going.

I'm thankful Amazon bought Roomba - one less reason to even consider them as an option considering all of the current gen vacs are sporting onboard cameras + CV (poop avoidance, is that really a huge concern?).

… to what’s available on Amazon in 4K or 5K screens with no computer (iPad or iMac) attached, I can mostly only buy the LGs for $1400 to $1700, and they don’t work with a stylus. The comp isn’t really a monitor anyway, it’s a Wacom Cintiq Pro.
weird time to make this argument in the wake of the latest cryptocurrency downturn which tracked almost lockstep with the stock market.
Well, if you call what is going on in italy "turmoil" I must remind you that no one has assaulted major political sites in their capitol in a decade, at least in a major way. Anyway who ever said that turmoil is mutually exclusive with engineering prowess?

To be entirely honest what italy has in terms of political situation is an excess of stability, but i digress.

Anyway the real issue in my view is that the EU chips act's investment size is anemic compared to the recent equivalent US
initiative. But still it's a step in the right direction and the amount allocated to italy is so comparatively small as to be negligible.
IANAL, but "we use our own metric" doesn't sound like an excuse for publishing numbers to shareholders that aren't a best effort estimation based on reasonable methods.

If the methods were reasonable is of course possible, but up for debate and at least questionable.
If you rounded up 100 regular web users and ran a usability test where they had to do this to post a comment, how many do you think would succeed?
I would love to believe this, but the price seems too low in comparison with simpler electric bicycles with 1kW motors. They will do about 35mph and say 60 miles. While the design of the Roam Air seems simple compared to most small motorcycles, I would expect the cost to be dominated by the batteries. Now compare for instance [this](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/c3strom-astro-class-3-cyb...) project on Indiegogo, which has a 1kWh battery and a 0.75kW motor, with a price of $2400. The Roam Air has one or two 3.24kWH batteries (price for an additional battery is $550), and the motor appears to be about 2.5x the power of the C3STROM on the basis of comparing the speed. I just don't see how they could get that much price advantage while depending on materials which have to be imported.

Again, I would love this to be true, but I'd wait for an independent review.
You clearly haven't seen a modern iPad Pro screen if you think it's inferior 'in every way' to other portable monitors. 120Hz refresh, super high pixel density, amazing color replication, I could go on. they're beautiful.

What high-refresh rate OLED travel monitors are you comparing it to?
Yes, that can have an effect. To the parent question, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32361888
Dart is probably the best contender for 'replacing' JavaScript right now.

Dart's Type- and Null-safety, built in support for both JIT and AOT compilation, great dev tools, and the rapidly growing ecosystem make it a delight to work with.

I can actually see Google shipping Chrome with the Dart VM in addition to V8 a few years down the line.
Oh yes, I'm not knocking the release of MoonRay as a whole. I was at HPG '17 when the paper that erichocean mentioned was present. I'm definitely excited to get a peek at it.

I also wonder now how much work it was to disentangle it from their infrastructure? A lot of internal studio tools and libraries tend not to work outside of their studio's intranet -- not so much from direct copy protection, but more just because of heavy assumptions about filesystems and servers.
> there’d be a Chinese knock off on the market for half the price

cheaper, faster, better... sounds like... innovation?
Super informative article, with a lot of little insights, claims, and customer blames. Some are exceedingly fair, others are shirking responsibility on the seller's side. Still a great read!

1. > If an item is in good shape or really is new and just unwanted, the packaging is almost always damaged beyond what could be considered a new item, so at best we might be able to sell it in a damaged package sale, which we do twice per year.

It's generally difficult to open products without damaging the packaging.

This is an intentional design with consumer packaged goods, likely for a variety of valid reasons.

Doesn't seem like the customer's fault (and shouldn't be the customer's problem), as long as the customer is being honest and not pulling a fraudulent return.

2. > but the Pista has two little screws that you have to remove take the thing apart and when we looked, all of these returned pumps have had those screws unthreaded which you can see as deformation in the screw head, whereas a new in box pump has only had them installed.

Does this suggest the manufacturer is using sub-par zinc screws instead of stainless steel? So many products have cheap screws that basically can't be removed without stripping or deforming the head, it makes the product unserviceable and dooms it to eventually land in a landfill, prematurely. Seems unacceptable to call a product top-notch with these kinds of components inside.

Fraudulent returns are still bad, as are shoddy products falsely marketed and sold as top-notch gems.

3. > Folks think they’re pulling one over on Jeff Bezos but don’t understand Amazon doesn’t own that inventory, it belongs to companies and when you think you’re screwing Amazon you’re actually screwing directly with some smaller company behind the product.

This is 100% on Amazon, due to marketing things as "Amazon Prime" and "Sold and Fulfilled by Amazon". Nasty, because the customer signals get to be ignored by Amazon as they reap the profits and offload the problem downstream onto Little Companies.
That’s actually nothing too bad. If you know you will guaranteed miss the deadline then relax, slow down, do the quality work you want to do and meanwhile look for a better job.
I want something akin to a desktop with a big screen at home, but which I can also bring to a coffee shop. I don't want to have to fiddle with ugly docks, usb monitors, etc. Those things are a PITA.

China is Taiwans largest trade partner. For example, 33% of its steel is from China (Taiwan being in the top 7 steel importer, in the world). With Harbor Freight being the destination, it's not unlikely that 90% of the materials in those tools are from China, including a good majority of the standard cogs, switches, and doo-das within.
NSA doesn’t want NOBUS, they’re not a person.

NSA leadership has policies to propose and promote the NOBUS dream. Even with Dual_EC_DRBG, the claims of NOBUS were incredibly arrogant. Just ask Juniper and OPM how that NOBUS business worked out. The NSA leadership wants privileged access and data at nearly any cost. The leadership additionally want you to believe that they want NOBUS for special, even exceptional cases. In reality they want bulk data, and they want it even if the NOBUS promises can fail open.

Don’t believe the hype, security is hard enough, NOBUS relies on so many assumptions that it’s a comedy. We know about Snowden because he went public, does anyone think we, the public, would learn if important keys were compromised to their backdoors? It seems extremely doubtful that even the IG would learn, even if NSA themselves could discover it in all cases.
Thanks. This answer helped me get more clarity.
I never made friends anywhere :/

(in person, i did get friend requests in internet games)
Is that so? Well there you go, something for me to contribute!
What difference does it make if the reversal happens at the beginning or end? The process should account for this and see things through either way.
Mastodon is nice, you're likely to find an instance focused on anything you're interested in, from photography to gaming to pentesting. I already know there's a fairly large community of artists[0] running an instance, but you can probably get more/less specific depending on your interests.

Mastodon's biggest features are chronological timelines, cross-site ActivityPub integration, zero ads (unless your instance deliberately runs them), and total decentralization. If that sounds like your jam, you'll probably like it. If you're interested in a more algorithmic suggestion engine though, you may have to look elsewhere.

One time, in University, a girl wearing a sorority shirt with their sorority's cryptic slogan printed on the back sat in front of a middle-aged going-back-to-uni-type mom. When the girl sat down, the mom asked, in a friendly tone, "What does your shirt mean?"

The sorority girl, turned around, and bitchily responded to her elder, "That's none of your business."

The mom looked offended but remained quiet. I was a couple seats away and remarked to the mother that the slogan means she likes having sex with strangers.

The sorority girl immediately turned around to deny the claim, then explaining the actual meaning of the slogan.
You left out the part where the buyer will also destroy the city in which the house is located purely out of spite if he is forced to go through with the purchase. That is, I fully expect Musk to go full troll mode and reverse bans on all the bad actors who have been rightfully kicked off the platform if he's forced to buy Twitter. He'll claim it's for free speech when it's really just to own the libs.
> every day a human spends not killing or blowing up humans is a sin, a day lived by an immoral coward who doesn't deserve to live.

First: By your own standard, you don't deserve to live. I'm not telling you to kill yourself; I'm telling you your standard is hopelessly twisted.

Second: You condemn Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Truman, because they killed people. And then you come out with the above sentence. You're a bit self-inconsistent here.

And even by the above so-called standard, Kaczynski didn't deserve to live, because he didn't kill nearly enough people.

> There is no species on earth that kills its own number 7x+ times each year.

Eagles. Cats. Whales. Seals. Snakes. They all do this.

I think most of the rest of your post is also badly flawed, but I don't have the time or the patience to write a rebuttal to the rest of it.
It seems to me that a more logical configuration is:

modem <-> router/NAT <-> switch <-> (wifi and other stuff)

Though I understand that OP wanted to save money/cables/wall warts by using the modem's Wi-Fi AP and Ethernet switch.

I tend to agree that if you are trying to slice an Ethernet switch (or network) for two networks that you don't want to be bridged together, you should probably use VLANs.
>I think you have hit on the root cause, poker and other games of skill is harder for the government to inject themselves into it, harder to control the odds and revenue (like lottery), etc.

I don't think so. You can just grant a gaming license for a card room. In order to maintain the gaming license the establishment has to pay a yearly licensing fee to the government. That seems pretty straightforward.

Not the best analogy. In many (most?) US states, the buyer can just walk away from purchasing a house at any time for just the earnest money, typically 1%.
Libertarian and capitalist propaganda. The answer is always a variation of “if you don’t like it, don’t buy it/let the market decide.” Even if the “market” heads towards apocalypse.
> Apple is still far behind on pro tablet game

Their market share and their pro customers (artists, photographers, videographers, and more) would all disagree.

Seriously, when was the last time you saw someone actually use an android table for anything professional other than in a cheap point-of-sale terminal?
We've actually found a mixture of automatic replies, backed up by a human, is the way to go.

1. Do it manually

2. Automate the common cases

3. Goto 1

The other trick is to build good tools to make it stupid-simple for an agent to do the complicated part, like setting up a subscription or a scheduled order.
Theres a tinyhome builder making using ESP 8x16 tinyhomes for 20k. They call them The Incred-i-box. They justed started to offer solar setup in the tongue box as an option to make it offgrid worthy.

https://www.incredibletinyhomes.com/ith-incred-i-box-style-e...

They built a large assembly line building so they could start creating many homes per week. Been fun to watch them get their factory built, and each assembly section going, floor, electrical, plumbing, walls, roof, etc.

The youtube channel has been pretty good on showing the progress.

I haven't found a reasonable solution for multi-level dwellings; interested in how others address this. If you just have 2 floors, it's reasonable to purchase 2 of these bots; but if you need a third, it starts to feel excessive. In something like a townhouse, with several floors that are individually not that big, for example. Not to mention I still need to clean all the stairs manually, and those are by nature high-traffic. Do folks move their bot to different floors weekly, or something like that?
How much of that is optimizing for appearance/behaviour (Either intentionally or unintentionally) and other people wrongly pattern-matching though?

When I joined a big tech company the hardest part of ramping up was learning how to operate in that environment. There are a lot of implicit behaviours a "good" engineer is supposed to that you mostly have to figure out by yourself. Some of them are genuinely useful, but I think a lot are basically a kind of filter: https://twitter.com/danluu/status/1555077502803947520.

From what I've seen, the main skill for promotion in my company isn't engineering a well designed system, it's being visible and finding/creating the right projects.

I completely believe that someone could figure out how to behave like a higher level engineer and even succeed in their team, then get put in a different environment and completely flounder because they were mostly just copying behaviours that worked in their current environment, not learning fundamentals.

I'm also curious, vaguely what archetype was this Staff engineer: https://staffeng.com/guides/staff-archetypes.
Oh, very nice. That's exactly I as I remember it.
Hrm. You make very good points.

It does feel as though HR, not having the full weight of the legal system should, instead, be able to be an arbiter (imperfect though it would be) with the weight of "consequences to continued employment" as the authority.
ADRs are more general purpose for documenting any kind of decision. This seems to be much more specific to a certain level of system architecture.
Apple sold 240M iPhones in 2021 - 15x as many as the 'massive hit' of foldables... I think you're living in a bit of a bubble if you think they're that popular.
> I think it is more than a bit simplistic to assume workers are demanding higher wages just because oil spiked a bit.

It would be, but I didn't even approximately do that. In fact, what I said depends on pretty much the opposite, the two being largely independent of each other.
I mean, how important is the pen as a tool to human history? The pen is one of the most important human inventions and the fountain pen is by far the coolest version of it :P
If present, such implants could be detected with a radio-frequency meter that is logging all measurements 7x24, with post-collection filtering of RF noise on public licensed and unlicensed bands.

If present, such a receiver/transmitter would have needed to co-exist with changes in public cellular radio bands, e.g. the transition from 2G to 3G to 4G LTE over the past twenty years.
Ignoring that Jones is a garbage human and just focusing on the case: that isn’t protected free speech? I don’t know all the rules around when speech isn’t protected but the article doesn’t really cover why this wasn’t.

Honest question: Why are all these chip companies building fabs in first-world, expensive countries (e.g., Japan, the US, Italy)?

Could you extrapolate on what you mean by "games"? I don't believe search engine bias is something that is an issue for Google or DDG. There is a lot of misinformation, it shouldn't be ranked near factual information, because humans are still bad at determining what is good information. Medical advice is a good example; this is a hyperbole, but if someone was choking and you needed to know the Heimlich, you probably don't want a result at the top for essential oils.

Politically speaking, lots of people switched to DDG not for privacy, but because it never down ranked politically biased news like Google. I don't believe DDG's mission statement is to be the bastion of misinformation.
I wrote code on paper occasionally. Anyone else? Don't see an existing comment about it.

What it means?

Depends who’s saying it - if it’s a cryptocurrency “enthusiast” (read: bitcoin bro), it’s probably to disparage all fiat and claim how much better their currency is, while conveniently forgetting to mention that DeFi really means “Deregulated Finance”
> What level of profit did the mine bring in? That's the real question that I've never seen an answer to.

Who has time for ascertaining the facts when there are politically derived narratives to promote.

If it was easier to have scoped id's it wouldn't be so bad. For example, instead of one OrderID for all orders in the order table, have customer specific order numbers that start at 1, and are only unique in tandem with a customer id.

It's a pain in the but to implement this though in most databases.
You are confusing “nuclear family” and “sole breadwinner households”. Nothing about nuclear family requires a homemaker parent. It only means 2-generation household with 2 parents and 1..N kids.

And working 10 days of 14 works great and is possible to combine with a decent fertility so long as there is cheap care options as the article suggests.
The OP is for some reason focused on chrysotile (asbestos) panels rather than panels skinned with fibre reinforced cement which appears to be what this actually is. Which is legal and common in European construction, including as prefabricated wall units.

I like Autopilot, but FSD is too error-prone, so I don't use it. I will gladly accept a refund of the $7K (plus tax) I spent. At a minimum, Tesla should treat FSD as a license that can be transferred to other cars so folks aren't stuck in older vehicles waiting for FSD to finally (if ever) work.
I don't think that this is restricted to systems languages. Any language where you can do something like extend a linked list indefinitely seems to have the potential for "unsafe" problems such as memory exhaustion.
I'm not sure I follow what you are saying.

Are you suggesting that people will discard a result based on the snippet presented? I ignore the snippets entirely, as they are seldom relevant, and click each link in the results.

Especially if I have put quotes around a word I really want.
I wouldn’t trust FSD at all and there’s no way I’d ever pay for it, but I love autopilot.

What are Tesla falsely claiming about autopilot?

There may be thousands of people in the entire world who understand cryptanalysis well enough to accurately judge the security of modern ciphers. Most aren't living or working in the U.S.

It's very difficult to do better. The mathematics is complex and computer science hasn't achieved proofs of the hypotheses underlying cryptography. The best we can achieve is heuristic judgements about what the best possible attacks are, and P?=NP is an open question.
Presumably most government employees are acting in good faith - why wouldn’t they fulfil a reasonable FOIA request?

This is likely the result of some actors not acting in good faith, and so have no choice but to stonewall lest their intransigence be revealed.
Absolutely, personal sonic character preferences can vary per content, listening context and the play back device (plus play back signal chain like DACs, pre-amps etc). And it's not just personal taste, most human's bio-based input 'hardware' varies enough to matter, especially for those of us who are out of warranty (ie >40 yrs old). There are even interactive apps which will give you a quick hearing self-test and build an EQ profile based on your individual response curves. I use one bundled into Android and it definitely improves my listening experience.
You know literally nothing about me except that I've had a bad experience with a brand, so you come to the conclusion that I'm "simply using them wrong"?

Unbelievable.

A $400 Asus router I bought had a broken 2.4ghz band, was that 'using [it] wrong'? I had a motherboard fry itself, do you think I was in there 'mishandling' the motherboard? An Asus monitor I bought would periodically shut off and not turn on again unless you physically unplugged and plugged it back in, a faulty power circuit that I found many others having issue with.

Your comment is rude and gaslighting.
