Most warranties in the US are only "free from manufacturing defects" so if the gear was manufactured to spec, but just wore out, then it's not covered

Also a 90 day warranty is not uncommon
> employers who wish to enter into or enforce a non-compete or non-solicit agreement with a Colorado-based employee should first reach out to their Gunderson Dettmer attorney.

Increasing the cult of the all seeing attorney. Everything has to be medicated by a lawyer, because the USA has an adversarial system, and the courts rule in such a way up that plain English wording can't be assumed to mean what it says.
> "Plus it can really help with feeling unmotivated and stuck in life."

This is a great perspective. Having a strong side interest gave me a lot of happiness in times where I was set up for a lot of difficult, repetitive work over a significant stretch of time.
It worked out only because Stanislav Petrov decided to ignore it all and violate orders.
No. Bell's theorem states that local hidden variable theory obeys Bell's inequalities. Quantum theory models and some experiments with light violate those inequalities. At best, we can conclude that any deterministic theory supplanting quantum theory can't be Bell-local, or that it violates some other assumption of Bell's theorem (e.g. independence of actions at two separated experimental sites).
Fair enough. My point is that the local power can enforce how transactions work and Bitcoin is still at their mercy. Most governments will want to retain control and crypto isn’t going to change that.

Having my smoker self-manage its temperature and graph the amount of heat it's dumped in is nice. Checking on the temperature ramp of the sous vide is nice, too.
> That’s huge upside.

That’s a big gamble. I thought this was about asymmetric upsides but here there’s a pretty huge downside.

Firstly, how do you realise the gain when you need somewhere to live? Primary residence != investment.

Secondly, 20x leverage shouldn’t be a selling point. A tiny dip in prices leaves you in negative equity and unable to move home. Less of an investment and more of a prison.

95% LTV mortgages tend to come with well above average rates to match the level of risk too. The gamble isn’t cheap.

Property can be a great investment but people are confusing buying a home with investing in property. They aren’t the same thing.
LAX is literally the worst for this. There's a lot of people that learn to fly out over LA, and sometimes they will accidentally stay into the landing pattern east from LAX over the city. This is one of the most dangerous and congested sections of air in the world. And the class B cuts right through the city. So sometimes you can get yourself into trouble and end up copying down a number from the tower if you catch my meaning. The same problem with drones and other aircraft interrupting that airspace. I think there was a drone or something flying around LAX (or maybe it was Heathrow) that was causing some trouble like this, and they couldn't figure out for a while who was doing it.

If you're VFR, you can probably pack a little tighter, meaning more planes landing per minute. But of course, we could just add a runway.

Anyway, the point being, if you learn to fly in LA, you might as well be a professional pilot IMHO.
No, kitty does not let stdout out read or delete arbitrary files. First of all stdout is an integer in a lookup table in your kernel, It cant read or delete anything. I assume you mean it lets programs read or delete arbitrary files by writing to and reading from the tty device. And even that is not true. The kitty graphics protocol does let a program delete arbitrary files in the TEMP directory. It does not let anyone either read or list the contents of any part of the filesystem.
Great, so then you agree with me completely that people living in the west are dealing with significantly less problems than people who are living in an collapsing economy, which is my point.
Rogaining. Invented in Australia, popular in a few countries in Europe, and does exist in the US too. This is my local organisation: https://sarogaining.com.au/

The 24-hour events are the majors (state/national/international championships) but they also have 6-15 hour events plus 3-hour urban events for newcomers/families. Plus a cycling version. The 6 hour events are usually in pine forests with logging/walking trails so can suit rookies as well.

Two of my kids (9yo and 6yo) and I won the family category last year (no other family entered the 24 hour event! ;)) in our state championships. 40km in 24 hours. I let them sleep from 11pm until 6am, though to be honest my ankles needed the rest too.

It's not all brawn either. People stay competitive into their 70s. Mixed or female teams are always at or near the top. Some 13yo girls came second in one 6hr event a few years back (they just ran the entire time but got beaten by semi-pro marathon runners). You can finish near the top by walking quickly or trotting, but picking a good route, being careful with map and compass, etc - no one characteristic wins the 24 hour events.

Engineering Designs in Planiverse – Computer Contact with a 2-Dimensional World
> It is possible to design and write a file system implementation that will retain the UNIX file systems semantics of i-nodes and directory entries whilst remaining completely flat (i.e. no directory hierarchies, just «.»). Such a file sysem would be impractical for most use cases today but is easily possible, and such file systems had been a commonplace before the UNIX file system arrival.

Yeah, it would also be possible to design a system that doesn't enforce permissions.

The challenge here is whether you can make a reasonable design that's secure. Not whether any design would be secure; that's self-obviously false. Anyone doing the designing can choose not to use a special bespoke filesystem.

But I don't see how your described filesystem would cause problems. The directory entries are still descendants of the directories they are in. Apply the rest of the logic and those files are secure. It's easier, really, when you don't have to worry about subdirectories. If subdirectories don't exist, they can't be open.

> Earlier on, you had mentioned: «If there's any loopholes in that, they could be closed». The example below (which is perfectly legit and does not contain semantic loopholes), which of directories does «file.txt» belong in or descends from/ascends into: 1) «a/b/c», 2) «d/e/f/g», 3) «.», 4) all of them? Which of the three directories is more specific and why, and what about future hard links?

The file is not in a specific directory. Links to the file are in `pwd`, a/b/c, and d/e/f/g. "Being in" is the same as "descending from".

If you secure `pwd` (and nothing is already open), then all three hard links will be secured.

Or if you remove the hard link in `pwd`, and secure g (and nothing is already open), then the file will be secured.

"./a" descends from ".", one hard link to the file descends from ".", "./a/b" descends from "./a", "./a/b/c" descends from "./a/b", one hard link to the file descends from "./a/b/c". Plus the same for d/e/f/g, plus every transitive descent like "./a/b" descending from "." I hope that's what you mean by "more specific"?

If future hard links are made, then they follow the same rules. If any hard link is not secured, then the file is not secured. And a user without access to the file cannot make a new hard link to the file.
Maybe someone can put Forth into it. :)
In my opinion living with this disease for a long time I think there's probably a link to lifestyle. I developed symptoms in graduate school during a very stressful time in my life. Years later I had another stressful event and had an awful relapse.

On top of that I've always struggled with my weight.

Makes me wonder if an underlying EBV infection, genetic vulnerabilities, unhealthy lifestyle and a stressful event that permits the EBV infection to compromise the CNS ultimately causes the condition we call MS.
The vastly overwhelming amount of computer experiences afford no possibility to potential could be computer users. Most software targets mass usability exclusively & actively hides & obfuscates itcs function. We poison the "user"-base with empty calorie experiences that distance them ever further from authentic experiences, from ever gaining solid ground from which to positively become an experienced computer operator from.

Some of it is small & medium choices of the apps & sites. Much of it is systematic.

Please be reminded that how we react to the parent fact can make things in a macro sense worse.
Well, you should clearly communicate your career desires to your manager, for starters. If you don't want a leadership position and you're being groomed for it, say so. As for meetings, they're for your manager's benefit, so they have visibility on what you're working on and can identify blockages in a timely fashion. More broadly, I would suggest finding a smaller company or start-up that doesn't have a lot of formalized processes and will allow you to run with something.

That said, I've got bad news for you: most people like working alone. Everyone wants to "own" the thing they're working on and not depend on others. It's not special, and it's really a baseline expectation of a programmer. What companies want is team players who are often fun, light and friendly, actively work to build trust with a team through socialization, promote good practices and patterns and don't begrudge the fact that a portion of their day is to be spent in meetings, reviewing others' code and generally communicating. These behaviors increase in value in a larger organization with heavy processes in place to compensate for scale and variable talent.
That was liking riding along in your mind as you constructed your thought! :)
Vinit Bodas, Girish Bhakoo, and the Hedge Fund Scandal In Greenwich, CT
Pretty well summed up. It's an even hairier mess when you look at the details. For example, TTI licenses the Ryobi name from the Japanese Ryobi, and produces tools for Ridgid while not actually owning the brand.

The odd one out usually forgotten is Positec. They have a rather interesting history, and today make the Worx stuff...which honestly aren't bad tools.
Isn't the main reason just that failures in the vast majority of software aren't that bad? Like if you build a bad house it could collapse and kill someone. If you build a bad calendar app/email client/text editor it might... be a bit difficult to use? Crash sometimes?

And then people wont use it because it's bad and your company will go under, problem solved. Some other 20 year old (or 40 year old) flying by the seat of their pants who happens to be good at development will step in and build something that works.

Obviously if you're building medical device firmware, or aircraft control systems or whatever then it's a whole different story. But generally companies building that sort of thing do have a much more systematic and dedicated approach to quality. And there are industry regulations that enforce that.
It's not very difficult to reverse-engineer most cocktails that have 3-4 ingredients in them, especially if any of the ingredients are visible as a garnish (e.g. herbs, citrus slices).

And even then, an inquisitive patron would be able to get the ingredient list by asking questions and/or claiming to have allergies. It would be strange and potentially dangerous for the bartender to without knowledge of the ingredients.

The bottom line is that anyone who really wants to steal a cocktail recipe is going to be able to.
This kind of sounds like the same thing with cell phones making people not remember phone numbers?

It's not that you can't do it, but I think we learn why bother with it when the little box does it. At some subconscious level?
I like the general message behind grugbrain.dev, but I think you're also pretty much entirely wrong on types not helping for basic browser <-> database interactions.

Python, one of the most dynamic of languages, is proudly including LiteralString in the upcoming 3.11 release:

I will say that yes, the Java ecosystem really abuses types due to the anemic type system that Java provides, but that's an indictment of Java, not type systems in general.

> If I have a situation where I take the quantum vacuum and get a different, random result every time I measure it, it seems like quite a stretch to conclude that it is _really_ deterministic.

If you take number generator and get a different random result every time you call it, you have no idea whether it is deterministic (algorithmic) or not. One can try to do statistical tests, but these can reveal only weak algorithms, not the sufficiently good ones.

> Further, if quantum states are described by wave functions then they must be intrinsically random due to the mathematics of the Fourier transform.

That is a very strange statement. Which part of mathematics of the Fourier transform suggest wave functions are intrinsically random?
Would be nice if it actually worked though...
This is fascinating! I’ve enjoyed Quorn stuff for years and I never really thought about the production process.

It would be super cool if this process were to result in a protein that’s significantly cheaper than meat.
My issue with them is twofold: a) The "testing too much" part, specifically things like how well translated the manual is, for example. I don’t care. And b), it’s a blackbox. There are no real details for how they arrived at the rating of some subsection.

ETM [0] is subscription funded and their tests are far more detailed, and they even show the data (e. g. power usage curves for a toaster, measured air replacement curves for a fan, etc.).

I wonder if respondents were allowed to check more than one item on that list when answering the question? If so, there is likely a lot of double counting. Large, overarching surveys are quite difficult to create and interpret. The Django survey I quoted earlier was a worldwide survey for what it's worth.

I've long thought this must be the case. On a regular basis, I fish at a lake in a town 15 minutes from my home, and do not know how to get there without GPS or a friend in the car.

Without GPS, I can navigate to places several hours from where I live currently, that I would go frequently in high school, before I had a smart phone or standalone GPS. I kept a printed set of MapQuest directions to popular destinations under my passenger seat in those days.

I recently purchased a bare bones GPS for my motorcycle [0] that only displays the direction of the next turn, how far away it is, and roughly how far along the trip I am. I've found that after going to a destination once or twice with that method, it's much more committed to memory.

> Investing in call options on AMD in 2014 or Tesla in 2019 also had huge asymmetric upside. It was clear that these stocks had massive risks, but while the upside was potentially huge, the downside was capped at -100%.

This is unactionable advice. Call options on any stock are capped at -100%. It's choosing which ones are worth that risk that is the hard part.
Virtually every city other than a few that are essentially islands or peninsulas that are fully built out like San Francisco and New York City. Some examples of cities with plenty of residential buildable land to expand into in the United States are Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Tulsa, Atlanta, Charlotte, Orlando, Tampa (ex Saint Pete which is a peninsula), Jacksonville, Fort Meyers, San Diego, Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Baltimore, Richmond, Greenville, Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and a myriad of other cities.

I already explained why prices go up when there is sufficient supply: hyper-fueled demand from essentially free money and new entrants like hedge funds looking for ways to invest the loads of cash they can borrow for nothing and money from their investors as well. In many cities, more than 30% of all home purchases were from investors.
This qualifier is actually more about lawyers and accountants. The US has a very unclear policy about labeling something as USA Made. It comes down to the US content in the BOM cost and it is specific to costs essential to the product, at my last 2 companies these decisions were left to accounting and legal.

In my current company we make sunglasses a non-polarized pair of sunglasses will say made in USA and a polarized pair will say assembled in the USA because the polarized wafers are not domestically made. In both cases the boxes, stickers, and logos are non domestic but aren't counted because they "aren't essential". In my previous company anything that had electronics from overseas had to be "assembled" but electronics from NAFTA areas were "usa made"

In reality it doesn't make much sense to ever have a BOM 100% USA made as that fully negates the benefits of trade but we should have policies that still encourage companies that chose to conduct business here. When consumers are turned off by "assembled in" it drives business out of the country.

>Anyway, I think that "Code is law" is a bad phrase. A more appropriate (but still silly) phrase would be "Code is law enforcement".

That’s an interesting approach. The popular conception from the evangelists is that code is law, because it’s meant to be a major advantage. By saying it’s not, what real benefits does a DAO/on chain contract offer? Certainly nothing like legal recourse like you’d get in an actual court in the real world.

And ultimately, it appears that code is neither law nor law enforcement. It’s just an opportunity for hackers to occasionally wipe everyone out and a community to scramble to roll things back with significant mud on face
And tend to be much more easily serviced, and parts more readily available, and even when parts are no longer available, or there's a long lead time, a maintenance contractor will be able to conjure one up from a wrecked machine or have a new part fabricated.
Am I misreading something? They said their system booted faster than the slow debian boot that you've shown, I think. That took (including the network time) like 8s to boot. It isn't surprising that they have a system that boots in 8s. As you note in the comment, it hangs on the network, but that's part of the boot.

It is an irrelevant comparison, but there's no reason to call them a liar over it, because it is not that surprising that a system can boot in 8s.

Precisely.

And not to mention how carbon taxes are espoused as a great way to disincentivize the use of oil.

Then oil prices go up and the government decides to intervene and drop oil prices through the strategic petroleum reserve (federal) or cash handouts (CA).

It’s bizarre. Either higher gas prices are good or they aren’t.
In this specific case, I think you're too quick to accept that trade-off. I don't remember the video drawing any such conclusion, and from memory, it seemed to slightly indicate that the older-and-more-expensive model was likely the less reliable of the pair in one or two ways (the flimsy and dangerous wire, and less importantly the dual heating elements). The new model is probably only less reliable in one way -- the outer shell is probably easier to break if you really smash it.

In general, I think it's almost always the case that compared to historical offerings, you can get an order or so drop in price, without sacrificing core lifespan. Sacrificing lifespan can be done, but for such devices, such sacrifices lead to saving an additional $10-$20 rather than $100-$200 -- those come from access to cheaper materials.

It's like buying shoes for $20 that you'll have to replace every year, instead of an $80 pair that last 10 years. It's a trap, and the goal should be to lift people out of it, rather than make an even worse $15 shoe, and so on.
What do you mean minus very few exceptions? A bunch of states ban abortion only at 24 weeks or later, with the viability line generally being at 24-28 weeks. And the actual point of this case isn't the the individuals going past the viability line, but as an example of what states could do to violate someone's privacy. Especially in states that have completely banned or are working on banning abortion. The threshold of evidence needed for a state to serve such a warrant is low and there's a clear trend of states also using it to punish people out of state or out of their legal jurisdiction.
