I don’t believe Brits are capable of revolting against this. They did hit the streets in anti-lockdown protests though, which is ironic because in the grand scheme of things that (lockdown) was temporary, but this inflation wave will be madly felt for quite long.
...it's much more likely...

This is very speculative. There's no reason to bend over backwards to imagine a way in which "ClownStrike" (your boss gets it!) didn't flag a specific PoC without fixing the underlying issue. If CS insists on such opacity, the best assumption is actually the opposite.
> If you can't distinguish kinetic from potential in this circumstance, does the definition of 'kinetic' and 'potential' have any rigorous meaning?

They're still different forms of energy even if you can't see which is which from the outside of a (non-transparent) box. Like, if you have a red ball in one and a blue ball in the other, you can't see from the outside which colour ball is in which box either. Does that mean "the concept of colours doesn't have any rigorous meaning"? No, it just means the concept of being in a non-transparent box has the rigorous meaning that you can't see what's going on inside it.
They must have been being cute.
Offline first isnt more prevalent because:

1. its hard

2. its a significant dev cost

3. there aren't a lot of resources to help you out if you aren't already familiar with CRDTs and the like (and that assumes your backend also already supports them)

I can't help with #1 and #2, but for #3 I found Jake Archibald to be the best source of information online. Here is a great high level presentation (he really is a gem of a presenter. I always drop what I'm doing to watch anything he puts out, offline-first or otherwise): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmGr0RszHc8

Also, Trello put out a multipart blog series which gets into some nuts and bolts which are really valuable when designing your own app: https://tech.trello.com/sync-architecture/

EDIT: I just noticed Jake has a full course available. I'm not sure how good it is, or how indepth, but I'm sure its decent based on the author: https://jakearchibald.com/2014/offline-cookbook/
What they did to the shield was a tragedy. It was so refreshing to have a device that I could completely customized to remove ads and suggested content. I don't blame Nvidia I think this is more on the Google TV side. I still think the shield is the best TV box on the market. I keep meaning to look into loading a different launcher that will let me go back to the old style.
Some ISP core stuff too.
YouTube do have a paid option, which doesn't have ads (unless the content creator has some sponsorship deal). It is the subscription service I get the most value from. Based on a few videos from content creators, it also seems like it's a good deal for them. I think Linus Tech Tips phrased something like: It matters much more than you think. Other have shown data suggestion that Premium customers contribute as much as 20 to 30% of the revenue.

Having used a device, not my own, to view videos while not on YouTube Premium, I do have to say: You can't really watch YouTube without the subscription anymore, the experience is just awful.
Well in theory, yes. In practice, the Russians have captured a large nuclear reactor and may use it as a dirty bomb if things don't go their way. Can't turn a solar panel or windmill into a weapon like that. You could turn a hydroelectric dam in a weapon though, I believe that's the plot of a few films. And solar heat collectors are impractical death rays.
Maybe in the future the TV will play barely audible ads when it detects you're asleep.
Why don't you just disconnect it from the lan/wifi?
>It's not like teachers are fired for being bad.

They are.

The exception tends to be at the poorest schools where the principals have trouble hiring and keeping teachers. When I was interviewing for teaching positions, I met with the principal for a school in South Central L.A. and the only question he asked me as, “do you promise not to quit before the end of the school year?”

Elsewhere bad teachers are fired, sometimes even in the middle of the school year.
Unfortunately we'd need another 5 years to really make a difference whereas the gas crisis is going to hit us in months.
oh I missed that, I'm only just finding out about this now. Can you point to where you read that?

I just found this contradiction to what I had mentioned earlier (going to edit my original message)

> Regarding kid-targeted ads on Disney+, Ferro said, “Yes, we’re going to have advertising… to kids, but it’s going to be controlled advertising with a lot of parental levers to pull. We’re not going to collect data on that.” She added that there won’t be advertising in preschool content on Disney+ at launch.

He said that he means no video content from anywhere - including streaming services.
>they come with an increased price.

Do they, or do the consumer TVs come with a decreased price to make them more tempting as the manufacture knows they will make up that discount in selling the collected analytics?

There was an article back some time now that showed how one brand was making more from the data sells than from the TVs themselves.

Edit: It didn't take as long to find an example:

Moving to a European country with less industry and a moderate climate closer to the Med would blunt energy costs for someone (lower energy demand = less energy spend).
> And people have given you some very detailed answers, which you never seem to respond constructively to.

Could you provide a link to where you see that? I disagree with that characterization.

I should also point out that still, even in this thread, again, no one has been able to tell the rest of us (who want evidence we can verify) what specific patent they're talking about. Instead the same old answer, of "all of their patents" comes out. This is the same as saying IBM patents are blocking progress in the software industry.

Of course, the throwaway post that I already said was clearly misinformed at many levels is cited as if it was gospel evidence of patent misbehavior.

> In my previous company we had to reverse engineer their waveforms in order to build usable products even though we were buying quite a lot of displays.

Yes, this is obviously true. You realize it is the equivalent of saying, I bought a Samsung LCD and then I wanted to change the LCD's internal drive voltages and drive circuit waveforms and Samsung didn't help me do that. And how is that in any way related to patents? I asked for evidence backing your claim that patents are blocking progress in the electrophoretic display industry. Would you care to answer that instead of deflecting?
When I first purchased my TV there were no ads on it. The ads came later when Google updated their Android launcher. So, where's my discount?
> I don't think wages should be excluded from claims about price inflation, especially in non industrial economies heavily reliant on cheap labour.

As I read your quote above, it sounds to me like "increased spending on labour" refers to an increase in the quantity of labour demanded, more than an increase in the hourly wage. That's consistent with both economic improvement and low inflation.
I was working classic full time 40h/week, then took a parental leave for my first newborn that allowed to work 80% (so 32h/week).

Based on the law here, the employer could have denied the 80% but I could have asked 6m totally off and they couldn't have said no. Anyway, they accepted the 80%. This lasted for 20months. I then asked to have another one for my second kid, as no issue arose during the first one and I was productive, it was granted.

Finally, I negotiated to remain at 80% permanently.
RP2040 is an amazing MCU, I'm unaware of any other similar MCU has a programmable PIO module.

Maybe you could make a game out of it. The one with the least amount of request each (or whatever metric works) gets rewarded in some way and give them a dashboard to check progress.

Not sure what negative side effects that could cause though, but i see some positives like using less social media, or learning how to cheat the system in clever ways.
Are you saying that it crashed the host OS, or just qemu?
I could not begin to get why you would utter that, so I took a little pause before this, and took the opportunity to crunch some numbers.

What's wrong with paper: well, it depends; for example, it is not reused - each chunk of represented info has to be stored -, and it is a stable medium with an important weight.

Texts range from a content of 1MB to 100..200KB of chars at upper quintile and lower quintile.

An A5 sheet may contain 1500 chars per side, and one square meter of paper, 80g of weight, 33.3 of them "pages", 100'000 chars per square meter. One MB of (printed) chars then weighs ~0.8kg.

A small library of 1000 volumes weighs around half a ton (possibly even much more).

Similarly for space.
If the plan is to get a TV (irrespective of it including "smart" features) and then use your own external dongle, then you'd have to be crazy to connect the TV to the internet. I think that must have been an implied instruction in the comment you replied to.

I got a very nice "smart" TV, plugged in my own inputs, and entirely ignored that the TV had its own apps. It works just as well as a "dumb" panel would have.
That's definitely a contributor, but, as you say, it's generally worse in the UK than in other large European countries. This whole thing is a bit of a perfect storm for the UK.
You're assuming sub-day changes. Stock doesn't necessarily come in every day and responding to demand spikes on a day by day basis solves this for any non-24h shop.

You could also do sub-day lowering of prices, although I think day by day changes adds a lot on its own if you want to have dynamic prices in response to demand.
I understand where you're coming from, but try not to get too pessimistic. The UK has made i through much worse and come out the other end.

> I would prefer to see them based on diagnosed cancer rates, but that data set probably doesn't exist.

Definitely not, especially in the US. Cancer is very highly correlated with age and body weight. Maine has one of the highest rates of cancer in the US, because the population average is the oldest in the US. Texas, despite a huge amount of air pollution, has relatively low rates of cancer because it's the second-youngest by average population age.

A looming catastrophe in the UK and the government is doing nothing. I've seen some crazy stuff here over the last 12 years but this is next level.
> tv refusing to work [...]

Is that really a thing? I'd never heard of it until this. Is that something that only kicks in if it has been connected at least once?
Honestly, until we have actual Star Trek level medicine capabilities, I will take the NHS approach, loosely we want to cure you and never see you again, over the USA, again loosely, the patient is a source of income for all involved, so lets medicate and surgeon as much as possible, any day of the week.

The ultimate problem is that our current levels of medical knowledge simply aren't good enough, so the US approach often does more harm than good - and I would gently suggest that that shows up very clearly in US life expectancy figures.
I've recently started the move over to the Netherlands. The things that were keeping me in the UK (the last vestiges of our socialist governmental policies) have been torn to shreds by the current Tory government. I've also lost any hope that the British public will try to fight for it back. It feels like people are accepting a slip back into feudalism with open arms.

I have to say this is ridiculous. You're making a claim that patents are blocking progress. When I ask which patent and for details, you're response is that I'm making assertions that can't be verified. That's exactly what I'm saying about your comment.

If this is a major concern for you, I think you'll be happy to hear that tuners are ridiculously cheap, with built in recording capabilities for under $30. I suspect if you're in the market for one of these pricier TVs and willing to pay the premium then the extra cost for an external tuner unit will be not be a major factor. For cleanliness you can attach it to the rear of the TV and use short cables.
Given that they are both traded, they're really "abstract made up units" at least no more than than anything else you buy is. There is an enormous market consensus that determines the value of dollars and euros.

The key takeaway given that is that the market is either losing confidence in the eurozone, gaining confidence in the US, or most likely; both.

I remember there is a LTT video saying that buying components from this self service repair is more expansive than their official repair service, you need a device serial number to buy some major components. So it is probably not really for independent repair shops, just a lip service.
do you sync up the announcements with the music? it kind of sounds like it's synced somewhat
A word of caution: this has been done with other uControllers in the past; nothing wrong with it from a functional point of view, but be aware that the lack of transformers means the boards i/o pins aren't insulated from whatever it's connected to them; any wrong connection by mistake or static charges in case of a long cable could damage the chip forever. The best and safest use i can imagine of a transformerless arrangement would be a cluster of Pi Picos all mounted on a backplane containing a Ethernet switch chip; in that situation they would share the same power supply and ground so a simple level translation where necessary would be enough, and probably a total of two wires could be used for transmission and receive since balanced signals wouldn't be needed anymore.
Yes, It’s called the Google hiring process.
You are right. It makes sense to first validate that you're targeting the correct destination, versus validating a particular route to a destination.

It would be great to have something like an atlas of problems. And you, both as user and as provider, can zoom in on the topics that are important to you.

Because just having one long list of disconnected problems mixed together from various domains, from photography over machine learning to marketing will just fry your brain.

I like your idea. And I agree that it would be great if something like that existed. Like a Hacker News for problems.

Have you seen any site/app that comes close to this? Perhaps even just localized to one domain?

>Fairly certain that Germany pushed for the value with an easy conversion (2 Deutsche Mark = 1 EUR) and not for dollar-similarity.

I don't think so, the same happened for the old Lira in Italy, 1,936.27=1 €, that everyone rounded to 2,000=1 €, or for the Portuguese Escudo, around 200=1 €, it should be just a coincidence:

The lockdown protests kind or proved to me that while english people are getting angrier overall, they seem to be getting progressively dumber about how they lash out.

I could foresee riots again like the 2010 ones but I doubt it'd do to much change other than lead to some imprisoned people and property damage.

So, unlike, say, the poll tax riots i doubt itll lead to any meaningful British/English political changes.

You need a surprisingly small number of HN crowd like folks to ruin the market. Most ad targeting - regardless of actual product - goes after people with high discretionary income. If a chunk of those folks self selected out of the video ad market, it ruins the overall economics.

This is an idea I've toyed with - corner the >200K income TV market with privacy features. Make it as easy as Roku to block all this.
DACs are essentially a solved problem, the only crap DAC and headphone amp I have found on a device that actually sounds different than any other DAC was on a raspberry pi. Which to be fair they tell you straight up that the audio jack on the raspberry pi sucks. They probably found the one factory in china still bothering to manufacture subpar DACs and amps.

Otherwise every other single device with a headphone amp has sounded the same, especially when you factor in normal use of an eq to get your sound system/headphones to sound good. People that say you can tell the difference between audio DACs are letting the placebo effect convince them to support a crap, cottage industry that robs people of their money lol.

Now, there are DACs and headphone amps that can put out a LOT more power than other DACs and headphone amps. Yes if you buy headphones that take a lot of power to drive a normal DAC/amp might not be able to drive them but that is an entirely different question than "my DAC just sounds better than yours" snakeoil. Also... hard to drive headphones and speakers are relatively niche and rare. There are PLENTY of """""""audiophile"""""""""" headphones and speakers that are easy to drive.
I suspect unbeknownst to me I was suffering of sleep apnea for a long long time. A few years ago I got diagnosed with extreme sleep apnea and I started CPAP therapy.

Firstly, i love the recursive nature of the implementaion: "mnm is not mail"! Also, quite a fascinating approach; hoping it works out! Me being a fanboy of the matrix protocol, I've often wondered if there is a valid use-case for matrix to enable safe, secure communications between site user/customer, and site manager(s). Not just chat, but a sort of customer support mechanism, but also a safe, private mechanism for site managers and/or orgs to do reasanble outreach to user/customers. And, no, it need not be chatbots, though i suppose there would be a desire by some orgs for an implementation like that at the end of the day. My hope would be of course for a better chatbot than current standards. Obviously, there would need to be the delicate balance of ease of use, privacy for user/customer, ideally decentralization (for empowering liberty/freedoms), integrity of content conveyed (by way of non-tampering/security of content), etc.

In any case, good luck to the folks behind this effort; the more internet protocols (and not centralizied systems/orgs) that can help people, the better!

Let's not pretend that governments aren't working for big corporations. There is a lot of overlap between the private agenda of various large corporations and the government agenda. If it seems disconnected it's only because I don't have time to write out the whole theory and explain how all the different parts of the economy interact and TBH I can't say I fully understand it to be able to make an airtight argument. I just understand enough to make some predictions. The economy is too complex to fully explain; all you can do is lay out some loosely related facts and hope that it resonates with the reader. It's not a hard science. Let's wait 10 years and see which of us is the one who needed to see a professional.
