I only tumble dry towels & bedding, no shirts or any clothes. So I believe you're correct, but my description was of machine washed and air dried clothes.
Working to rule involves malicious compliance, which may very well be harder work than actually being productive. Just being unenthusiastic is not the same thing.
They say a few minutes, but with a lockring tool and a chain with a masterlink, I bet someone with a bit of experience could change a cassette in under 2 minutes as well. The rest of the mechanism seems a lot less durable and a lot less amenable to off-road riding where one might wish to pedal backward up to a full revolution to reposition their feet without wishing to propel the bike forward. It might be OK for casual / commuter bikes, but belt drives already exist and last a long time. The width of the rear axle required for the dual-sided drive also looks super goofy and probably gives a poor Q factor ( https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/what-is-q-factor-and-do... ). Overall these seem like a lot of compromises for little benefit beyond a chain or belt. Chain-driven bicycles are also incredibly robust and proven to work amazingly well in a very wide range of conditions, and are serviceable worldwide.
Microsoft lays off team focused on winning back consumers
I pay ~55$ a month for gigabit in the US. It’s that there are so many different states with different regulations that means we have both extremes generally.
In the late 1990s, I worked on lowercase-semantic Web problems.

I used descriptions like "the Web as distributed machine-accessible knowledgebase".

Some of the problems I identified were already familiar or hinted at from other domains (e.g., getting different parties to use the same terms or ontology, motivating the work involved, the incentive to lie (initially thinking mostly thinking about how marketers stretch the facts about products, though propaganda etc. was also in mind), provenance and trust of information, mitigations of shortcomings, mitigating the mitigations, etc.).

One problem I didn't tackle... I got into distributing computation among huge numbers of humans, and probably stopped thinking about commercial organization incentives. I don't recall at that time asking "what happens if a group of some kind invests lots of effort into a knowledge representation, and some company freeloads off of that, without giving back?". But we had seen eamples of that in various aspects of pre-Web Internet and computing. Maybe I was thinking something akin to compilation copyright, or that the same power that generated the value could continue to surprise and outperform hypothetical exploiters. Also, in the late 1990s, every crazy idea without traditional business merit was getting funded, and it was all about usefulness (or stickiness) and what potential/inspiration you could show.
One fast way to get good at speaking is to video record yourself AND watch the recording and then repeat.

I wrote "fast" instead of "easy" because this is very painful. Most people quit after a couple of iterations.

Toastmasters and the like are slower but arguably less total pain because other people are nicer.
And while the number of nukes has decreased, the number of nations, fingers on nuclear buttons if you will, has steadily increased ... as has the threat they pose (recently both the US and Russia have tried to demonstrate supersonic nuclear-capable missiles. And while neither nation currently appears capable of actually carrying out a strike using such means, obviously they're both not that far from a working system)
Absolutely, we're working on this currently.
The worst is when the link is YouTube and I have to watch an ad even though I pay for YouTube Premium but because it launched in an app browser I'm not logged in.
Internet in Seattle is cheap, so that’s not a good example.
I think you're discounting second order effects of the Senate.

Why is the US as culturally-homogeneous as it is?

Because small states' population's interests are represented. How are they represented...?

Your statement is vague.

Are you saying that legitimate dissenters are being illegitimately accused of terrorism?
Or that terrorists are legitimate dissenters (despite the fact that terrorism is by definition using violence and not working within the legal framework?
Or did you mean to say something else?
Interesting! This reminds me of the classic Windows 95 bypass. You abuse the help screen to gain access to the desktop without having to login.[1]

I'm currently going through HTB Academy and once you mentioned unsecured in-app browsers, the first thing I thought of was either a Web Shell[2], or better yet, directing the in-app browser to a malicious website to download additional software to better exploit the phone. If the in-app browsers aren't filtering explicit content, I have to assume they aren't filter malicious content either.

If this isn't already a well-known route of exploitation, I'm interested to see how that might change in the near future. It sounds surprisingly easy to exploit, provided you can get momentary physical (remote?) access to the phone for a short time.

I would argue TikTok is proving far more toxic to children than access to adult content and no one seems to care.

-Targeting- children with content for profit should be banned, regardless of content. If the content is neutral and presented to all the same way then they get to choose to put in the work to find what they want to consume. When it is not neutral then it is the job of a parent to help tip the scales back to neutral with conversation or partially supervised device use.

Nudity for instance is only taboo in some countries, where others are whatever about it and will see women topless at the beach. Trying to censor things or target things is what does the most harm and creates closeted behavior IMO.

News flash to parents... when your kid is old enough to be horny they -will- find an outlet to see nudity be it in person or on a screen. On a screen is probably the safer default.

Another fun possiblity I remember from Universe in a nutshell, is that Dark matter is gravitation leaking from other branes.

In your analogy rubber sheet analogy, it's about stacking another rubber layer on top of current one.

It has no prediction powers

I consider myself a "bike ride enthusiast" to get out of these ridiculous standards and expectations.
Agree, but then the alternative is to offer exemptions to lockdown. If they can't be provided for, the govt must allow them to provide for themselves.
After reading a bit more I think I got it all backwards. The force increases with distance, up to a constant, but it seems this is only applicable to already bound quarks, so there's no strong force from rest of the universe.
Japan is a living case study of degrowth: GDP has been essentially flat for the past 20 years. The scale below exaggerates small shifts, but it was $4968B in 2000 and $4937B in 2020.

https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/gdp

On the ground, this has translated into flat or deflating prices (until very recently) and an increasing bifurcation of society into salarymen, with low but stable incomes anchored on jobs-almost-for-life, and part-timers on temporary contracts, with groups like single mothers living in poverty. Population is shrinking by close to 1M/year, the rural countryside is rapidly emptying out as young people flock into cities to chase opportunities, and the national pension scheme will sooner or later implode since it can't support 1 worker paying for 4 retirees forever. It's frankly depressing and there's no obvious way out.
Huh, TikTok is one of the first apps I have seen which do not allow you to open an external website in Safari. I am going to do a bit more research and try to find other apps that do the same
It doesn't.

There are lots of people who are comfortable where they are and continue to do solid work. I'd say that's probably almost half of folks at the mid-career levels in the big tech companies. This is actually why rest-and-vesters are so damaging. If you get a couple of these people on your team, they tend to bring down the morale of the much larger group who are earning their keep.

It's easy to be happy getting paid your current rate for doing a good solid job. But, it is really hard to stay happy in that situation if the person sitting next to you is getting paid the same, but doing almost-but-not-quite nothing.

In this situation, the previously-happy-worker types tend to either 1) seek a new team where they're not working with a rest-and-vester, or 2) slowly degrade into emulating the rest-and-vester because they feel demotivated and that their work isn't appreciated (since it isn't being appreciated more than the rest-and-vester's non-work)

Good managers identify this situation and put the rest-and-vester on notice to shape up (many of them will if you work with them -- many of them used to be the previously-happy-worker but at some point got poisoned and just need to have the callouses removed. (And a few of them just need the boot)

On the other hand, in tech really you are either growing or dying. That doesn't mean that you have to be growing in promotion/job-ladder-shaped ways. But if you're not learning something and growing in some way, you're probably regressing.
Yes, but the central banks may diverge in where they stop. the Australian reserve bank said it was going north of where everyone now thinks they will end up and people have said its forseeable they will reduce again the other side. Thats very finger-in-the-wind but the steep/sharp up may be reporting as a lag on the endpoint: for some economies, its coming sooner.
I didn’t see them call the employees lazy. They said they weren’t productive. And again calling a conscious decision to hire people you won’t need in a couple years isn’t necessarily poor planning. If being the first to release a product gives you a big advantage it’s probably a good idea to hire all those people in the right situation.
So your basing your security model on the assumption that developers won’t use it for things you never intended it to be used for?
>>and nobody I know with starlink has gotten better than 100 down

I have starlink and mostly see between 150-300 down and uploads in the 8-15MB range, all for $99/month - verizon was charging me $156/month for 3MB down and 0.768MBP up.

Nice to meet you - now you know at least one person 'with starlink has gotten better than 100 down'
Pinephone users don't tend to mention that the phone is about as powerful as a Galaxy S3. So keep that in mind.
Starlink is effectively a point to point connection with each satellite. There is no technical reason they can’t have 1 billion customers with a large enough network and the right hardware.

The issue is economic. Target 1 customer per square mile and most of the orbit over land is useful, target 100,000 customers per square mile and most satellites are only beneficial over megacities like NYC.

Due to the short lifespan of individual satellites they can adjust to market forces and new technology fairly rapidly. If for example China lets them in the economics around density change significantly.
If you care about privacy, you would use Android (or one of the newer open source mobile operating systems).

If you want to implement what in the OSI model we call "session" state, you are almost certainly doing it because of transport agility. It winds up demanding something morally in the space of an ID.

If the ID can be used to find you on diferent link layers, cross-platform, and if the ID has a locator or 'ARP' like service, its almost inevitable it leaks. Simply asking who is on a substrate probably naturally leads to "who are you" queries which go to exposing session state, to anyone who can tickle you.
That's exactly why most performance reviews are a scam. "Always room for improvement."
They said:

> but then in the next breath make the assumptions that difficulty forming relationships today is significantly greater than in the past

The implication being that I made the claim that it was broadly more difficult for most people today. I didn't realize that me adding "everyone" would so drastically change the meaning of their sentence. Please give me your interpretation of that if it isn't basically what I said.

Am I crazy? I say that people with chronic porn addictions have a hard time forming relationships and all of a sudden I'm accused of making blanket statements about how difficult it is for people to form relationships today compared to the past.
The key delta is often that the bare minimum to keep your coworkers from being demotivated by you is a bit higher than the bare minimum to keep your manager from noticing your underperformance.

If the work you are doing falls in this middle range, then your slacking will harm those around you but you probably won't get fired (if it takes longer for a manager to get fed up than the mean time between reorgs, you probably can survive indefinitely)
Superlattices Could Make Bulky Capacitors Obsolete
They paid $10k for a package that included a set of features available at time of purchase. That they did not receive future functionality post-lease is irrelevant.
If you can write it in 20 minutes, I'd be impressed. Excel has everything integrated with macros already so it is easier to use VBA.
I believe the issue is that they don’t have the bandwidth, not the dishes. They need more satellites to provide the speeds and amount of service they promised.
I am not defending the practice. Maybe, Apple can addd it in their app store policy
My general relativity professor claimed the need to postulate the existence of dark matter disappears when using basis vectors for derivations. To be honest, as the only undergraduate in the class, it was mostly way over my head.

SQL Server – One Pager Field Map
Source: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-6963275490799345664-...

Data Engineering and Technology seems to be on an ever-elevating path for years! There’s huge coverage to Spark, Storm, Kafka, Databricks, Mongo, Snowflake and more. So, what’s to relational databases – are they or will they be dead? Likes of MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and more.

Two facts there:
1. Stack overflow’s Insights have guided industry for some time now. If their chart on Database is a sign (even with Professional Developers) – relational systems like SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL are here to stay long time! (https://lnkd.in/g2iiV2gP)
2. Most critically, follow the money rule! All I can say is it's still a very serious business and massive dough for a pie - for all cloud providers, including of course Microsoft. There are dedicated migration pathways (and offers) for each of these data services, and it’s only a start.

Now, there are tons of resources out there to learn (or re-learn) about SQL Server – which happens to be the foundation of all PaaS / SQL Services on Azure. You can access MSFT Learn (https://aka.ms/learn) or Documentation (https://aka.ms/msdocs). As well, I have created a one-pager collating all the key topics and documentation links if you are field ready (https://lnkd.in/gP4sKDd5). Let me know for any critical miss or feedback you might have.

PS: First post on HN - please advise if this post is not compliant by any means or preferred any other ways. Thank you.

For sharing and viewing, yes. For anything else including speed, macros, options, keyboard shortcuts, MS Excel kills anything. Google is for convenience, I wouldn't even consider it a professional software at its current level.

In this tutorial, we start by introducing techniques for extracting audio features from music data. We then show how to implement a music genre classifier from scratch in TensorFlow/Keras using those features calculated by the Librosa library.
Why is air-conditioning in hot places evil, but nobody bats an eye about the need to run heat to make cold places livable?
People keep saying that it's "irresponsible" for people to live in places like Phoenix where you need A/C to survive the summer, but it's totally fine, for example, for Canada to exist, despite the fact that virtually every Canadian would die if they had to go without winter heat.

Nobody says that it's irresponsible for people to live in Canada (or Minnesota, or Maine, or Norway, or any other cold place).

Why is it only cooling that draws such moral outrage?
> That means I am counted 3 or possibly even 4 times without paying a cent to Disney directly.

The fact that you're counted several times is a relevant complaint about their published subscriber count; the fact that you don't give money directly to them isn't.
Has anyone in the MoND world looked into the James Webb observations that seem to contradict our current theories of galaxy formation in the early universe?

ie the observations seem to show more mature structures than predicted, we're finding.

I've been wondering if some MoND / non-DM kind of theory may better explain these new JWST observations.

Or they just don't want to take on the burden of getting you to improve. PIPs are a pain for everyone involved. If a manger hands out anything lower than "Meets Expectations", their next step is to help you get there, or gather enough data points for HR to safely see you out the door
Actually, most of that effort has been put towards invading other countries. The effort put towards dealing with domestic terrorists (real or imagined) is comparatively small.
End to end encryption is only useful when the software on each end is open source and deterministically built/distributed by third parties with accountability.

Even Signal or Google/Apple could ship a bad Signal app update to targeted devices to dump convos if ordered. If you use Matrix with a client from an F-Droid build or a reproducible build from debian etc, then the Matrix developers literally could not comply with orders to obtain your plaintext content.
Well, yes. You're right about that!
But that's also true for every other source.

Last time I dug around into this, there was a delegate that's called that allows the app to open a new window/tab as makes sense for the app and display the link. I've seen applications that respond to this delegate by just forcing the existing WebView to open the link. If you don't implement the delegate, as I recall, nothing happens with these sort of links, they just appear dead to the user.
> Click the safari button. It opens it in your normal browser.

This is a solution to a different problem. The problem is the website can't prevent itself from being loaded in these frames like it can for <iframe>.

I think there's a good chance Google will actually end up implementing this because they've already had a push to not allow Google login screen in webviews.
> Yes they are long, inefficient paths to reach the internet, but curious (or motivated) individuals or children will use almost any app to reach the internet.

I don’t think this can be overstated. How many people tell you stories of watching signal-scrambled porn on TV when their parents are asleep? How many of us waited until our parents are asleep to play video game late at night? How many millions covertly downloaded Napster/Kazaa/etc. and downloaded 30 versions of a song before they finally got the one they wanted?

Being “motivated” as a kid or a teen is a low bar.
You're getting downvoted but you're right. Managers generally start out as ICs and bring along with them all their biases.
In order for an AI to understand the world like a human, it will need to interact with the world. Absent the ability to perform real world experiments, there can be no closure to the hypothesis => experiment => conclusion loop that is needed to build up an accurate model of reality.

They couldn't disallow because he didn't ask and that's more likely to be the problem.
