Firefighters who also do development work to reduce fires and make their firefighting easier.

That said developers also do firefighting. They can be an escalation point for deeper system issues that may elude SREs.
My paperwhite did an update a month or so ago around the time I started getting emails about this. It’s been nice not converting to .mobi before transferring (sorry Calibre, I don’t need you anymore) but there are still a few glitches reading the format, especially with special characters. Nothing too annoying.
Japanese users (including those with no cookies whose request headers say they only speak American English) get a knowledge panel for Caterpillar Inc. if they search for "cat." I can see the Cat (Animal) knowledge panel by searching for "cat animal" though. Thanks!

Oh, I didn't realize I was a slave to a country. And the act of immigration which I willfully do, and the host country is pretty much hostile about, is "stealing" me. If Western countries wanted to steal me, they should not have put up such roadblocks to immigration

Your comment is a little brief, did you mean letting drug dealers off the hook because it's really the drug addicts' fault there's a market for drugs?
If all that was needed was extra mystery mass sprinkled everywhere, there would be little problem.

The exact problem is that sprinkling extra mystery mass everywhere produces results inconsistent with observation.
Was going to disagree, because you portrayed this as as "unjust personal affront". I mean like everyone who ever got fired from McDonalds thinks "my boss irrationally hates me."

But on reflection this happens frequently, not due to personal reasons, but due to corporate politics. Side A won the war, so side B just punches the clock until whenever they get around to layoffs. In any big company, there's going to be a bunh of teams where "they know, but we haven't told them yet".
It's not so much an insistence, more just where the industry is at. Those freewheel hubs are loud because that's generally the lightest, most efficient design - lots of teeth for immediate drive engagement, no extra grease that would lessen said engagement, no extra material for sound dampening.

Clutch mechanisms are available, but these are slightly less efficient and generally more expensive.

Basically... People love spending lots of money for the absolute highest quality components. How will other riders know how fancy your hubs are unless it broadcasts that fact to the world?
> That is essentially saying that autistic people can't learn. That's not really the case.

Autists cannot just learn to act more like an NT in the exact same way that a blind person cannot just learn to see better. Your rejection of this extremely basic fact is an all-too-common combination of ignorance and/or bigotry.

Note that the Kindle devices themselves still do not support ePub files. (EDIT: as of the last time I checked a month or two ago, but maybe this has changed?)

Previously, you could send a MOBI file to your Kindle email address, and it would be delivered to your Kindle. Now, you have to send them an ePub file, and Amazon will convert it to an AZW3 file (which is structurally very similar to MOBI) and send that to your Kindle.

If you have an ePub file and you want to read it on your Kindle without going through Amazon's servers, you have to convert it to AZW3 (or MOBI) yourself, either using Amazon's Kindle Previewer GUI software (only available for Windows/Mac) or by using a third-party tool like Calibre.
Graduated college right at the start of 2008. This is nothing like it. Nobody was hiring back then. Layoffs for everyone. Wage freezes for several years. It felt really ominous, like people were legit afraid of economic collapse because of how toxic assets covertly based on real estate had tentacles in everything.

This is temporary inflation from the Russian invasion of Ukraine exerting upward pressure on gas and grain prices, right as post-COVID supply chains were starting to unwind and unlock inventory. It's already easing. This doesn't feel similar at all.
It is about rendering colors of the scene within the bounds of physical limits of display device color space.

Rendering to the display device screen uses perceptual intent: a conversion of color space of the display under some assumptions about screen viewing environment etc. [1]

With better models we can improve this conversion.
Article mentions that large color differences are not perceived as acute as the current models (Riemman etc) suggested so new model could boost the color difference to achieve that higher acuity.

Because in general we have found that giant megacorporations building up monopolies and walling in customers has not been a desirable thing. In general its preferable that product producers and marketplaces be run by separate entities, which was largely the case until new technology came in.
Right tetrachromacy is proven and I've learned the hard way never to argue with women who insist there are shades of color that I cannot see. Moreover, these women make excellent color graders (in film work, etc.) as their output is more consistent.

My comment was made in the general sense from a modeling perspective. The trouble is - as you've implied - things get very complex once one scratches the surface especially so with seeing and perception as one's interpretation is also subjective and we don't have an adequate language to describe what we see. That's why calibration and measurement are so important.

These difficulties also likely account for why there's been a 91-year delay between the '31 CIE work and this discovery.

Incidentally, I've just noticed that Adrian_b makes the point that the "non-Riemannian nature of perceptual color space" has been known for decades. In hindsight, I should have strengthened my earlier comment about the evidence behind this new work having been known about for some considerable time.
Surely you don’t blindly accept estimates? Do you dig down and ask what assumptions they are making for how long it will take?

This doesn’t sound like a problem with minimum expectations. This sounds like a project management problem.
> How were they planning on taking hostages without guns?

Don't be obtuse. Had members of Congress not evacuated their chambers just the fact a mob was outside the doors would be holding them hostage. Several rioters had flexi-cuffs and other bindings. It's not terribly difficult to hold someone hostage. It's downright easy for a large group of people to imprison a smaller group, especially one composed of unarmed geriatrics.

> Were they going to beat people with flagpoles?

You've got from obtuse to insipid. The answer is yes. They literally beat people with flag poles. Several were armed with guns. Many were armed with other blunt weapons, stolen police weapons, and chemical sprays.
The prosecutors choose the charges, and did not have to choose charges that carried a maximum sentence of 35 years, which is almost a death sentence.
there is an interesting theory put forth that Quidditch is a metaphor for life. Harry is a seeker that ignores the entire game say for hyperfocusing on catching that little golden ball thingy (sorry, not a potterhead). The rest if the players play the game by all these rules, but each player has 1 seeker ignoring everything but that one Northstar, that super fast gold annoying thingy.

I like to akin your choice as choosing to assume the role of seeker. its lonely, its challenging, and everyone else seems to not care to play THAT game (some may say is a metaphor for divinity). But the reward is YOU WIN THE GAME. significantly better payout.

I share the metaphor to say that A) I understand you, B) I share your feelings and choice on the matter of identifying and managing Real Politik and C) congratulate you for identifying your true north star and having the strength to pursue in in spite of it not being rhe standard for others.
People love to rail against growth because they use it as some proxy for "consumerism" or "materialism".

If you actually take a step back and realize that economic growth is what pays for infrastructure, social programs, public pensions, healthcare, the idea "we should just get comfortable with less" seems much less appealing.
Tesla is still posting 40+% YoY growth, while other car manufacturers saw deliveries shrink 20+% YoY
Per the article, the problem is that they can't cope with the users they have right now, not some theoretical future user count.

The FCC looked at data from Oopsla, and saw that Starlink is currently averaging 91Mbps Down / 9.5Mbps Up or something like this. Their bid was for 100 Down / 20 Up, so they are some way away from providing the level of service to their current users that they committed for the subsidized users.
The Galaxy S3 could do everything back in the day, it was and still is plenty powerful. Banking apps, messaging apps, social networks, web browsing, etc. Of course it won't do fancy real-tike Snapchat filters and AI image recognition, but if Android 4.4.x was indefinitely maintained I would have zero problems using one today.
Laws against custom engine firmware and knives are unjust themselves, so they shouldn't be used to justify other things.
Looking at all the things that can be improved in various Google or Facebook products, there is not too few work for developers. The problem is that the classical management structure is not suited for developer companies.

Google and Facebook have cheated when at the beginning, the management and development were two, respectively one person. Management understood what development was doing. Nowadays, when those roles are split into many people, it takes much more management to understand what some code is doing.

Code is a very dense notation. If the same knowledge has to be communicated in normal language, it requires far more people.

So if Google and Facebook don't want to leave decisions to developers, they have to increasing their management overhead. They could introduce various committees to manage all aspects of a product. That would require a massive cultural shift because management wouldn't be a hierarchy anymore.

I'm pretty sure dishy is way out of spec for poe power use. Using proprietary connectors is probably forgivable with that. Poe+++

I agree not having Ethernet out of the box sucks. I suspect some one chose environmental seals over Ethernet given the water proofing on the cables. Though they seem only half way committed to the path given the warnings and disclaimers about the Wi-Fi access point not being rated for waterproofing.

I had a cable sliced and I put standard rj45 jacks and a coupler in as a repair and it works fine. Pretty sure you could put standard ethernet in there straight to dishy if you really wanted to. At least if you can feed it enough power.
We have gravitational lensing, but that cannot save DM from other observations fundamentally incompatible with its premise.

Clinging to a single dominant theory is religious orthodoxy, not science. The essence of science is, "we don't pretend to know what we don't". There is plenty we do, that doesn't depend on DM.
Amazon chose MOBL because it was compatible with the PRC format the old Palm Pilots used. The Palm Pilot was the original eBook reader.

> If you analyze a situation and find that you're factually correct, you haven't failed to admit to being wrong.

Ah, but here's the thing: if your interlocutor has some motive other than truth-seeking then they will demand you admit error regardless of whether you are actually in error. This means to them you can fail to admit error even when no error occurred.

It's circumstances like this that the author is analyzing by taking "I was right" as a hypothesis - the article doesn't claim this is always the case but wants to make some particular conclusions about cases where no error was made.
Is it the magnitudes more though rather than 8x or 2x?

I've seen it often said that a fully loaded truck is equivalent to 1,000 cars wrt road wear.

Even accounting for tyre numbers and thickness/sizes, it doesn't add up.

> Considering that the truck has eight axles and the sedan has two, the relative damage caused by the entire semitruck would be 625 x (8/2) -- 2,500 times that of the sedan.

That was in reference to the capacity to handle X customers per square mile not total. If you want to average 100,000 customers per square mile over a wide area you need a fuckton of satellites over that area.

Basically a network that handles 1 customer per square mile might in theory have say 40 million customers worldwide eventually. A network capable of handling 10 people per square mile might cost 10x as much, but only increase that to say 120 million because some areas have less than 10 potential customers per square mile. Increasing that to say 100 or even 100,000 people per square mile would vastly increase the cost, but you hit heavy diminishing returns with a lower percentage of areas reaching those densities and many people with better internet options than starlink or simply can’t afford the service.

> - Enables Safetynet checks by default which downloads and executes obfuscated proprietary code from Google

> - Includes proprietary Google Widevine DRM on nearly all devices

While proprietary code, obfuscation, and DRM are all evil, if /e/OS didn't support these things, then a lot of very popular apps wouldn't work on it, which would make it a lot less viable as a platform. Refusing to do those things wouldn't result in any less of those evil technologies. It would just result in less /e/OS adoption.

Go through the US border. You'll find out. Even if you are a US citizen. I got thrown on something like this almost a decade ago when I fought alongside the YPG, a US backed Kurdish militia that fought against literal ISIS.

DHS/CBP put me on some fucked up list and now everytime I re-enter the US I get detained, accused of crimes, tossed in holding cell. Last time it was 16 hours and they involuntarily took me to two hospitals, got a warrant to "internally search me" (anally), and drove me 60 miles to two different hospitals against my will while chained and cuffed while being accused of being a smuggler with no basis whatsoever. Later the hospitals sent me the bill, even though I never consented to anything, and there was no true medical reason for being dragged to the hospitals against my will, and despite DHS/CBP lying and saying they would pay for the hospital bills. I also filed complaints with the board for the medical professionals, and of course was told that a nurse can perform a law enforcement "search" without consent even without a warrant (the warrant was actually not served until after I went through the hospitals) and without even a court order or even being arrested (I wasn't arrested).

Yes that's right, the Arizona nursing board says nurses can act as sworn law enforcement and can search you without even a warrant or probable cause and even if you never consent to any medical care or even being touched, and that they can provide medical care against your consent even if it's not an emergency and without a court order or warrant and without you even having been arrested. DHS has taken profit off of this opinion and now uses nurses to search people on their list without having to get their own hands dirty and minimize their own constitutional limitations.

Let me count a few other occasions. Another time I was told I would never be allowed to re-enter the US; yes that as a US citizen I could not enter the United States. On yet another occasion I was told my passport would be cancelled, even though there's no real legal mechanism for them to do that. You can imagine what it's like to smile and nod your head while being told these wild lies by officers who may even be poorly trained enough to believe this themselves. It's always 4+ hours of detainment to cross a border along with intense attempted interrogation by DHS/HSI detectives. Ah yes, I've been fingerprinted and "booked" by DHS as well, on what basis I don't understand, even without being arrested.

I have never been charged of any crimes, I have no criminal record, and in fact the only thing I did "wrong" was help protect people from actual terrorists.

So yeah, if you want to find out. Jus cross the border, turn around and come back. You'll find out quite agressively.

I'm working on a huge hobby project, and it's getting discouraging because the results are taking longer than I expected.

When you have a vision, how do you work toward it for long spurts? Or is it more of a "micro-visions" approach? Not sure if I'm asking the right questions, so feel free to reframe them if I'm not being clear enough.
It's embarrassing, a priori.

There's so much here that is embarrassing that we'd have to have about five beers to even cover it on a surface level. So much that was just lazily copied verbatim rather than anyone TRYING to do something original, or even do just a slight, semi-creative variation.

No.
As a counterpoint, in most of the Latin American family empires, where the eldest son is by birth designated to be the next CEO of the company, he usually starts working at the factory in childhood, doing all of the menial jobs. Then he's given a job like outbound sales rep and essentially has to "work his way to the top" (of course on an accelerated timeline, and without really needing to be the best at any level). That way by the time he is CEO, he has the credibility and knowledge of how every facet of the business works.
Downvoted for a compliment?
The name dark matter is not a specific thing, rather, it's a collection of hypotheses whose characteristics are bounded by results in high energy experiments and astronomical observation.

You won’t do me once me that feeding cows food humans could eat is a good thing, or that raising meat isn’t an environmental train wreck, or that processing grain through cows to then eat them is more efficient than eating the grain ourselves without a cow in between.

The comment was phrased as trenchant criticism of the Japanese on a matter that is strictly their own business, calling them racist & xenophobic and contrasting them to the USA who 'do immigration well'.

White people commit the majority of workplace violence in the US. The Justice dept. has breakdowns of violent crimes by ethnicity if you want to see the details.
What terrorism is now (and for most of the 20th century) is an unbelievably politicized term that for around a decade was synonymous with Muslim who attacks anyone or advocates attacking anyone, including the soldiers occupying their countries. The term originated as a positive thing for late 19c anarchists who simply defined it as a tactic of asymmetric warfare against an enemy that so outnumbers you that they would be impossible to militarily defeat, so you break their morale through random, extremely varied attacks against individuals and small groups over an extended period of time, prioritizing as targets those who would normally feel the safest.

Terrorism isn't about "lawfulness." They just threw that in because violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims is what most countries do at all times. The definition wants to call war "lawful."

I consulted for a Fortune 500 where the CEO would spend a hour or so every month taking sales and support phone calls. He would use this information operationally -- he would send out missives to the head of marketing saying "people are not asking about product X." I wonder what he said when people asked to speak to his manager.
