How does a TPMS mandate existence or inexistence prevent you from getting that option when buying the car or installing the aftermarket version?
Not true, you can get new panels from third parties.
I process "3x cheaper" as "for the same money, I can get 3x the original amount".

Which would be 33% the original price.
That makes sense and is a viable model to handle breakages. Still kind of funny to see this in a discussion about the "right to repair" though.
The only reason it's a "thing" is that the reporters in this case were attempting to do a responsible, coordinated disclosure. That's important for their own brand - many clients would be reluctant to hire a security consultant who just dropped 0days without a damn good reason. So this is documentation and justification for why they did a unilateral disclosure - the expectation is that you "show your work" and be clear that you tried to work with the vendor and they wouldn't work with you in good faith so you had no choice but to unilaterally disclose.
I think these types of comments are the root cause of unhappiness more than anything else.

You bring up a valid point. So does OP. But you’re coming from such different angles that neither of you probably feels like the other really “gets” your point of view. Or if there is an understanding, there’s still a lack of any real sense of motive and context.

Every single possible direction you might want to go in life or opinion or dream you might have has someone from a completely different context piping in and telling you to go the complete opposite direction for perfectly valid reasons.

Online forums are simply too big, too impersonal, and too varied to give people that sense of connectedness they’re craving. They remove essential shared context and make most people feel unheard, which has bad mental health effects.

Honestly, There probably needs to be a Federal type government for Europe, much as the US is setup. The EU kind of reminds me of the US when the US was run under the Articles of Confederation before the current Federal system was adopted. It was very messy.
At least it didn’t go into an infinite loop. Maybe there’s explicit logic to prevent that.

Key quote:

The news of Samsung's upcoming TV will likely be a blow to Huawei, which is reportedly working on its own 5G 8K TV. Sharp is also working on its own 8K+5G initiative – both companies will need to hurry up if they want to beat Samsung to the punch, though.

5G TVs may not be in our homes yet, but they're on our doorstep.

And this comment is late to the conversation, but with 5G TVs, all of your streaming will go over 5G. No opportunity to use tooling to block ads or inspect what is being "phoned home." There are a good number of people whose primary uses for home internet are streaming and web browsing.

If these same TVs have a "WiFi hotspot app" that turns on a hotspot for an extra subscription, the TV manufacturers and their telecom partners will execute an end-around on the wired connectivity business.

Competition is good, but not when it's offering cheap internet in exchange for stripping consumers of any control whatsoever over their privacy.

Also it is another stupid online currency that isn't tied to any specific region, the people involved don't know each other in the real world, they won't use this currency for real world activites like babysitting coupons. It reminds me of that stupid Palai currency.

Unfortunately the only way I see things like this could gain legitimacy is by people crowdfunding a local bank with an actual banking license that then issues a local currency based around this technology.

I am soo, soo tired of all this worthless funny money. Do something actually useful like the Chiemgauer or Sardex.

Do you have any information on what made the second sleep study better then the first one? Could also share who was the second doctor who helped you?
> Yeah but neither will a multi-axis robot that can etch and drill and pick and place and solder.

So simplify: mill instead of etching, which also handles drilling. This needs 3-axis movement, which is all you need to drop solder paste on pads and do pick and place too, you just need a tool changer for each task. Not a trivial project either, but it's been done and certainly not for an absolute fortune.

Final step is reflow soldering, and this can be done using just a heated plate [1]. This all seems doable for most hobby sized PCBs.

The EU's financial sanctions on Russia were pretty obviously structured to make it as difficult and painful for Russia as possible to stop selling gas to Europe. In particular, the seizure of their foreign reserves - which they were not expecting to happen, and which they were likely counting on to be able to use gas supply as leverage like they have before - means that the only way to get hard currency to spend on things is by continuing to sell gas. Also, what people don't realise is that Russia was clearly preparing to use control of Europe's gas supplies as a weapon even back in 2021, reducing supplies and depleting their storage in a way that couldn't be explained at the time.
What kind of economic revolution will happen as that statistics approaches 100% for every good, not just grain?

Because eventually "work" will be so unnecessary we will need to redistribute money to people who have nothing to do and now that I put that into words I have realized that is already happening at my country, nevermind.
Same reason why Facebook still pervades here in Thailand. Facebook offers 'free' internet access to their site. The have discounted 'social' bundles for data plans (providers necessarily have to snoop your traffic to see what you're using). People grow up with it as the 'normal'. Teaching kids that data collection is just a part of the internet does have moral implications—just like we should stop training kids on Microsoft and Adobe software or letting Google's Chromebooks invade the education space.

You should submit that to GPT-3 as a prompt.
USA Today reported Near's full name and suicide. Hector Martin claimed police confirmed.

How was it determined Near was in Japan at the time? Or was it assumed because they lived there?

You didn't say Near's suicide was unproven. You suggested it was proven a hoax. It's not strange people ask for proof when proof was claimed.
No way to create subitems i.e. when the subitems are completed, the parent item is completed? The main thing I need out of a task manager is for it to allow me to decompose and refine tasks, and to keep track of that stuff as it gets complicated. If the data format doesn't even allow for subtasks, that seems impossible without abusing tags.

"The problem lies with you."

You yourself are hypocritically writing in a direct, laconic style while advising Felipe to politely tip toe around sensitivity issues. Why aren't you yourself trying to "empathize" with Felipe and whatever culture he's from?

To be clear, I obviously like direct communication. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of this comment chain.
I definitely agree, "open" in the name is pretty annoying and wrong. I'm a bit torn though - I tend to think GPT-3 is approaching a level where ML is becoming dangerous. Spam bots + GPT-3 is not my idea of a fun time. So the restrictions they put on usage do seem important.

Regardless of that moral question, I don't think a fully open model on the level of GPT-3 is even possible. Given the required cost to train and the expertise involved, big tech will always be a few years ahead. And it's unlikely they would give it away with how much they invest in creating it. Unless capitalism suddenly ends, I don't see any of the major tech companies parting with state of the art ML.

This is simplified.

Negative cash-flow real estate (anywhere with absurd Price-to-Rent ratios) has DESTROYED the S&P 500 (on leverage) for the last 20 years because of abnormally high appreciation (leveraged) due to interest rates perpetually decreasing.

Most R/E is leveraged.

Historically, you did not need positive cash-flow in R/E to make a fortune, and a lot of the fortunes amassed came from negative cash-flow R/E that consistently become more and more negative cash-flowing...

It doesn't really make any sense unless you believe interest rates will perpetually get lower. Anyone who took that trade over the last 20 years did very well.
My reading of the OP was, "Society shouldn't fund useless art degrees". I was arguing against the "society shouldn't fund" part, because IMO art and other careers have social value beyond the ROI of income vs tuition. By the same token, teachers are generally extremely underpaid, and could use help with student loans as well (they get it in some localities, to various degrees). In fact I think all higher education should be paid for by taxpayers rather than students -- which you are free to disagree with.

However, if you're arguing that art degrees don't produce good artists, that's a separate argument altogether. It's a valid consideration, I think. But that's less of a question of "who should pay for education" and more "what is the value of education". I don't know enough about MFAs to comment on that, but I do know that there are many, many majors that don't produce high-income careers. I don't think that should be their goal or metric, personally. Maybe that's valid for trade schools, but society shouldn't only have tradespeople learning industry skills and nothing else.

That's the underlying concern... it's not a strawman, it's the whole point: that morally or economically, we shouldn't be evaluating human productivity on dollars alone.
Still requires you to have an understanding of the concept, an understanding of how to prompt GPT-3, and how to verify the accuracy/veracity of the claims the AI model makes.
At the end of the day, law is morality. Both inspired by (a part of) society's moral code and enforcing (a part of) society's moral code.

Some people might think that life isn't fair, thus law shall not be fair either. But other people think that law shall make the world more fair. In today's world, frequently former group ends up :surprised pikachu: when later group ain't happy.

Personally, it's toxic if a law promotes irresponsible behaviour. Choose whatever crappy degree, never mind paying back the student loan... Society will bail you out! Same „too big to fail“ BS, just targeting a different audience.

> every Roku built-in TV gets REALLY slow after a few updates

My Samsung TV just seems buggy. Certain apps like YouTube will choke on certain videos, down to the point of just randomly rebooting the TV.

And newer apps (like Peacock) never get released for the version of the software that runs on my TV.

I guess at some point we'll just either buy a new TV, or maybe now that Apple 'fixed' the remote I'll dig the Apple TV back out.
Personally, my health goal is to not die from a total health failure at the ripe age of 33
People mix up these two:

"Its cheaper, you get 3 times as much for the same price"

"Its cheaper, it costs 66% less"

Most people aren't well versed in math and just says something that kinda makes sense to them based on the numbers they know.
I know what a Dutch angle is, but still came away thinking they might just need to adjust their TV settings, or sit further away from it.

I don't think it misunderstands business competition. In fact it understands the concept of competition very well, and develops an insightful critique into the perverse incentives that are borne from competition.

It benefits no one except for a couple thousand people to so blatantly play their customers in this way. In fact, it's worse, as it incentivizes that same behavior of other market actors in the space.
Fucking awesome
The title asks an interesting question:

> Is losing weight an important health goal?

I would argue having that as a goal sets you up for failure. You can lose weight a bunch of different ways, most of them probably aren’t in service to your actual goal.

Instead, keep asking yourself “why” do you have a specific goal to get at the root cause. This is sometimes called the “5 whys”

eg:

- why do I want to lose weight? To be physically attractive

- why do I want to be physically attractive? So others find me attractive

- why do I want others to find me attractive? Because I want to have more physical relationships

You could go another way:

- why do I want to lose weight? To feel good about myself.

- why don’t you feel good about yourself? Because, uhh, maybe it’s not about the weight?

- why don’t you know why you feel bad? I don’t know! Let me find out.

“Losing weight” is a catch-all for solving some underlying issue most of the time. Figure that out and work toward a solution.

Sandman definitely has a feel that will date it. I am enjoying it (having the Sandman go to hell is a great plot mechanism) but I don't know about the re-watchability. I don't think this is limited to Netflix, I feel like there is definitive 2020's mise en scene, which I don't think Truffaut or Godard would approve of.

Does Scandinavia have a lower tax burden or better government services?
I did a short evaluation a while back (while support for desktop/web was still in beta so much has probably changed), ended up going the PWA route. Developer experience was fantastic, code completion/debugging/documentation/compiling were all great and smooth experiences, Dart was easy to pick up quickly although some of the code generation stuff such as serialisation/deserialisation was a bit clunky. However the deciding factor at the time was that the end result felt very much like a mobile app forced into a desktop environment, things that users expected to have like copy+paste weren't there, keyboard shortcuts that users took for granted were a hassle to reimplement, the scrolling felt 'off' in a desktop environment and performance wise it could feel stuttery quite often.

I quite like the fundamental ideas behind Flutter (a lightweight GUI runtime that can produce consistent results across many platforms) so hoping these are already or on their way to being ironed out
That seems pretty reductionist. An education shouldn't just be dollars in, dollars out for future job training. We don't merely need good workers, we need better citizens.
I may be one of the few but i like the new ir35 rules. Less control over working methods is great. There are many contractors that are somehow happy as disguised employees but for me the distinction it forces is great.

I assume it is the latter, because that's what Alexa Sidewalk is. But that's a speculation, because neither of those currently exist in TVs, and I don't see LG or Samsung go along with it.

EDIT: I stand corrected, Sidewalk isn't a wifi network, it is it's own LoRa network that's limited to barely 1Kbps (which, imo, only strengthens my original point). Thanks for pointing out that technical detail in the replies.
What exactly in the article suggest the author understands the pressure of competition on incentives?

The author states that Snowflake are not incentivized to increase performance due to short term revenue concerns but doesn't mention they are also incentivized to do the opposite from a competitive perspective. The result is incomplete enough that it ends up being flat wrong with respect to the behavior that the company actually engages in.

The author missed the fact Snowflake did the very thing he/she suggested they were incentivized not to do, recently, at a cost of $97 million. The CEO explained why they are doing it and how they are actually incentivized. I don't know how the article could miss the mark by more than it has. The company literally does the opposite of what he/she suggested.It's not like they are the only one either, AWS has a history of reducing prices. Why? Once again, competition.
This reminds me of the Slashdot days where commenters would have a hard time distinguishing between the RIAA, the MPAA, and the Government (TM). They were roughly convinced that the 3 just formed this nebulous malicious entity.
