This site is a life saver for my partner. She cannot handle any sort of animal cruelty on screen. Before I discovered DtDD, whenever we'd sit down to watch a film together and an animal appeared on screen she'd instantly exclaim "Nope, turn it off". Nowadays, as soon as an animal appears on screen, I'm instantly on DtDD before she can say anything! Most of the time it's fine but sometimes we have to turn it off.
But you need a UK bank account, which requires a officer with a registered address in the UK. We were lucky our investors were UK-based otherwise it would have been a nightmare. Then you need to argue HMRC valuation discounts if you want to issue EMI options, which are only valid for 3 months, so you need to do it repeatedly. And then EMI option schemes are 15+ pages long contracts. Sweden has an equivalent stock option scheme that's ~2 pages, in comparison.
I don't see why that makes a difference. To catch the atom you have to damp its new accelerated momentum, not its original momentum. So the ship will be translated backwards by a correspondingly accelerated amount.

All you're doing is converting a slow relativistic acceleration into an equal and opposite fast relativistic deceleration.

Farmers do not accept payment in any currency on their farm. They sell futures on the commodity market before the growing season begins to lock in a price and hedge against volatility.

You can use light wallets such as Electrum without trusting a third party, and with no loss of security (though it potentially sacrifices privacy).

Even if that weren't true, a 512GB drive costs $10 these days. That shouldn't be a barrier for anyone.

Depends on the frame of reference.

From the viewpoint of an electron, the moment it is emitted from an antenna as a photon and the moment it is absorbed in another antenna as an electron are the same moment i.e. the photon travels zero distance in zero time.

Right to repair and android manufacturers being shit are 2 separate issues. And fixing one of those issues is worth it on its own.

This would be a win even if they excluded smartphones completely.

Not sure what your problem is exactly. You are all ower this thread arguing with everyone. But other the smartphones not being updated, which doe not have much to do with right to repair in first place, you haven't really said really made any argument.
Yes. I think that has to do with the culture of budgetary cycles and planning. It makes it very unlikely that a leader would want to jettison dead weight during “the good times” since they might lose the budget if the role is not backfilled quickly.

The tech sounds great. I'm regards to pricing, people aren't machines; you save them 9 min a day per engineer, doesn't mean you get 9 min / workday extra productivity * engineer. And that's not about laziness or anything, good programmers also need time to think about things abstractly etc. I wish you luck in getting properly compensated though what you did sounds great.

There is an abundance of experienced engineers who are willing to work for less than an entry-level engineer in the US. Wages are very low even in Stockholm. Great if you want to build a tech startup.

Unfortunately the employment law is written in support of factory workers, not knowledge workers. So many employers are very cautious when hiring because a non-performing employee is very expensive to get rid of, as long as they have been employed for 6 months or more.

Another similar project is PDF Sandwich.

I'd like to find one that uses AWS Textract or some other similar OCR - for my rare use-case, it's so much better at OCR that I'm worth paying a few cents to do the OCR. Maybe Tesseract /can/ do a better job than I've seen in the past, but I imagine getting it there would take an investment in time - when usually I'm OCRing one or two PDFs as part of a separate workflow, so I don't want to distract with trying to improve the process.
She's a virologist. They're all conflicted to the point of worthlessness.
First - this article is entirely about engine vs motor efficiency (ie what percentage of energy used is actually converted to forward momentum).

Second - your own source concluded that the studied BEV has lower lifetime emissions (including manufacturing) than the studied ICE car, albeit with a high uncertainty - they estimate that the the BEV has 27-54 tonnes of emmissions vs 58 tonnes for the ICE, or 47-93% of the ICE's lifetime emmissions.

“The appeal of injection a library into Zoom, revolves around its (user-granted) access to the mic and camera. Once our malicious library is loaded into Zoom’s process/address space, the library will automatically inherit any/all of Zooms access rights/permissions!

This means that if the user as given Zoom access to the mic and camera (a more than likely scenario), our injected library can equally access those devices.”

It's frankly astounding to me how these people can fall for their own bullshit.

Really? No protest with over 3.5% of the population has ever failed? Really?

I can think of 2 of the top of my head, the Catalonia independence protests and referendum, and the Hong Kong protests.

In both cases there was a significantly higher portion than 3.5% actively protesting, and what was the result? I dont see an independent Hong Kong or Catalunya anywhere, do you?

The fact of the matter is that violence is the Supreme authority from which all other authority is derived.

A protest where non-violence is guaranteed from the outset is a losing proposition against any determined opponent, and when protesting about things that matter that opponent will always be determined.

I suppose that a better outcome for this study would be "in matters where the outcome has no significant impact on the decision makers, a 3.5% threshold is sufficient to enact a change in the status quo".

Congrats, you spent all that effort and resources to get the political equivalent of a paint job.

We consider ourselves part of Northern California and have since at least the 70s. For many up there, the Bay Area is only nominally part of Northern California, in fact as a kid I didn’t think it was. But having gone on to live in San Francisco for a long time, I came to realize that the the Bay Area, for better or for worse, has more in common with Redding then it does with Manhattan Beach.

But I can’t figure out what you think the too-northern Northern Californians should call themselves if they let you lop off the Bay Area (and most would thank you for it).

No. Won't accept that shirking of responsibility. Consumers expect that the product isn't poison. We expect that planes fly and cars don't explode. It isn't reasonable to say that consumers want nonstick poison. They were sold a product that was "better" than the alternatives. They believed that would include not being poison.

> You will continue to get the short end of the stick until you gain leverage.

How you gain leverage is situational. At some companies, going above and beyond actually _reduces_ leverage, because you may find that after five years working at said company, the value you add is mostly tied to your knowledge of company internals (processes, systems, people, etc), and you may have actually fallen behind in the actual "transferable" skills that the market values.

Author here, happy to see some discussion around this. I see two major classes of comments.

1. “Why not accomplish this with X?” We arrived at this solution organically, which was important for adoption: a Discord server meant for gaming hour turned into hangout rooms turned into offices. It may not be the best option, but best means nil if you can’t convince people to use it. For us and our existing culture, Discord was an easy and incremental jump to take. Take whatever path makes sense for your culture.

2. “Why not make this asynchronous?” Asynchrony should indeed be the default mode of communication, but synchrony has its uses; between nonverbal communication and round-trip-time it is simply obnoxiously higher bandwidth. It trades away efficiency (person-hours) for speed (hours). The fewer people involved the better the exchange rate, which is why this article focuses on 1:1 interactions. I wrote about this later in my article “Why Be Synchronous?” [1] but tldr; synchrony should be deployed similarly to tech debt.

> This is one of engineering things that happens year over year. We all understand the value of good docs. Yet it keeps happening. Why?

Because doing anything is is irrational?

Time is finite, only a rounding error number of projects (especially open-source ones) are going to be successful, with or without docs.

Only an irrational developer would think that they are going to hit the 1-in-a-thousand jackpot with their project.

Any time spent producing documentation is time not spent on adding features and fixing bugs.

Spending time on documentation over and above the bare necessity needed to get out a working product "just in case we win the jackpot" is simply irrational.

This is probably why you don't find many projects spending significant startup time on good, clear and comprehensive docs (as opposed to a README and an FAQ and nothing more): the ones that do as you suggest mostly die before even getting users.

TLDR; don't treat your startup project as if you already have 5m users who depend on you. The odds are that you are never going to get to that point without a good product, and the better the product, the fewer the docs needed.
Not if you account the price per capita.

The backgrounds are “real” and can be captured in-camera, so there is no need for special effects to blend hair. Similarly, reflective surfaces aren’t a problem either.

While at the same time, when seeing that initial shot I could immediately tell the background was fake. Like in any fake-ass marvel-movie.

And I’m not into VFX tech, I’m not into the industry as whole. I’m just a casual movie-watcher (going from being a hard-core movie-watcher), and my involvement in these movies is getting lower and lower as the movies increasingly gets less and less real.

The last truly great movie I saw was Mad Max Fury Road. It has you engaged all the way through, because everything which matters there actually is real, something your mind can tell.

I recently saw Bullet Train. It was OKish because it was mostly about characters, and it had a semi-decent story to tie it all together. All the excessive VFX bits at the end was pretty “meh“ though. It would have been a better movie without it.

For as much as the Americans like to complain in here and on reddit about their train infrastructure, imo it is still one of the best in the world. Yes, the big tragedy it's that is focused on freight transport instead of also taking into consideration public transport, but the good thing is that you still have most of the actual tracks in place and functional.

Over here in Europe most of them are gone, with very exceptions (like Switzerland). This reddit post [1] comparing the French railway network in 1910 to what was still available in 2014 is just depressing.

And yet my own studies on reactor safety—which include papers co-authored with the late M.I.T. physicist and Nobel laureate Henry Kendall, and several books based on extensive reporting for this magazine—have concluded that nuclear power’s potential contribution to clean energy has been compromised by safety shortcuts taken by the industry, and by lax government regulation of day-to-day safety practices at the plants.
As a programmer I don't really agree with this article as I was practically working remote even when I was in the office, but I also can't deny that my knees have been getting progressively more achy. Likely because I am sitting for longer periods than if I were in the office. And sporadic back pain, but I also sleep on my stomach and that puts all kinds of strain and compression on joints over time.

I guess can see that a switch to WFH for non-tech employees could be stressful, but honestly I'm way less stressed than when going into the office.

Also I have no idea how the researchers came up with the 10-15 years that working from home has aged our bodies. Maybe that is talking about people that were previously used to walking around more in the office?
