> Barcodes were proving inadequate - they can only be read at certain angles and didn't store much data relative to their size

It's the scanner that dictates what angles a barcode can be read at. A 2D barcode scanner (which you need to read QR codes AT ALL -- or even a smart phone running Cognex's barcode scanner app) can read regular 1D barcodes from absolutely any orientation.

You can reduce the size of 1D barcodes to increase data density:

http://www.barcodebootcamp.com/labels/barcode-density.html

It's rarely done because easy decoding is usually the priority.

Plus, you can make 1D barcodes extremely small vertically, as commonly seen on the edge of USPS envelopes:

https://www.wsel.com/sites/default/files/IntelligentMailBarc...

...and that way store several lines of 1D codes holding much more information in the space of one QR code.

2D codes are useful in some circumstances, but they're not better than 1D barcodes.

The research I've seen on this shows the opposite, eg the scandinavian model.

Once you get past a certain level, the money itself no longer has any meaning, it's more about keeping score. We should look for ways to satisfy that drive without sucking wealth out of the rest of society.

Can speak from the perspective of a finance professional constantly rolling his eyes at insider traders. Many people assume enforcement is far weaker than it is. That leads them to make stupid choices. For a period of time, during the Iraq War, enforcement was weak around military procurement. But the wheels of justice grind slowly, and I guess every generation needs its examples.

We have a family who lost a bright young man who volunteered to serve his country and lay his life down to protect the ones he loved. And what did the Air Force brass do? Everything they could to deny him an honorable send off.

Yes it could but that still wouldn't have some sort of deleterious effect on the broader system.

Money is economic kinetic energy. Assets are economic potential energy. And, by and large, any institution attempting to store and grow wealth through asset allocation will need to conduct continuous exchange operations back and forth between economic kinetic energy and economic potential energy, which is another way to describe investing.

This is, of course, a useful activity because it facilitates the transmutation of human self interest into productivity and social value. And, to the extent that such a system gives rise to negative externalities, it is the job of government to correct for that.
While I agree that the term is outdated and should just be replaced with "developing", "third world" always had the economic side to it. "First World" countries not only were the major Western powers in the Cold War, they also had the best standards of living. "Second World" countries, despite meaning the Soviet side, also meant countries with a lesser quality of life, where store shelves were constantly empty and people often had to wait hours in line to buy even basic staples like bread and meat. And yet for the most part people weren't starving (except for the Soviet famines in the 1930s or the Chinese one in the late 1950s). This wasn't the case for the "third world" countries not part of either bloc (mostly countries just achieving independence from colonialism) which often had the worst standards of living (largely because their economies, developed under colonialism, never developed a consumer economy as they were primarily geared towards export to the country that colonized them)
Might be easier to check out the source to the 32bit driver if it works. The USB and printing protocols should already be implemented and possibly documented in the source. Then you could poke around with the 64bit drivers for similar model printers, that same protocol is probably used in other printers. Could be able to just lift the relevant code from an existing 64bit driver.
Yes, if you want to handle that many clients, you'll need to use async. It's not too bad to learn.

Obligatory Preface: I've never worked on defence projects but...

The issue of initial quality and provenance of the chips aside, I don't understand how this wasn't picked during Functional Performance Testing (FAT) of the system before final acceptance.

For such a critical safety system you would expect that all tests were performed and that it was operating correctly within it's design parameters. You would expect whoever was responsible for procuring (either principal or contractor) would have witness points were a suitably qualified person from their side (or third party independent verifier) would witness and sign-off on the test being performed to spec, and the results were within expectations. This is why these processes exist.

NB: The test in this case might not even need the actual parachute, just testing that the circuit pulses at the right time in the right place, or that a solenoid activates.

Then again, maybe it did pass all these checks but the poor quality of the parts meant they degraded at an accelerated rate because they weren't designed to operate in those conditions. Who knows. As things get smaller and more abstract (digital v. analogue) it's much more difficult for us to rely or even expect traditional methods of "trust but verify" to satisfy our requirements. It's becoming more and more incumbent on the end-owner to know their asset as it becomes harder and harder to understand it.

> In July, FBI Director James B. Comey said while the investigation revealed potential violations, “our judgement is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”

In other words, crimes were probably committed but the FBI dropped the investigation because they figured that no prosecutor would file charges in the case.
Sounds like the government didn't bother figuring out who profited from the falsified tests.

My experience working with the government is that audits usually addressed compliance with said audits.

I remember running into this idea when I was taking care of a colicky infant. Baby carrying slings and wraps seemed very popular among new parents. This article covers some of the evidence: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2005/jun/08/familya...

In my experience, baby carrying is great but some babies just cry. My first child was held constantly, and we spent every evening bouncing hard on a yoga ball with her, but it wasn't enough to fully quell the crying.
Just another suggestion.

Why not learn something entirely different? Learn about personal finance. Most education systems that I know of do not take this seriously. You will be able to take informed decisions about loans and investments all throughout your life.

How ever an investment is structured, you will be able to see the crux of it and how it really affects your money.

I learnt it free online on Coursera (I think) more than a decade back and even the little that I retain vastly improves my financial decision making skills.
My child's daycare uses a cell phone app for checking in and out the children. It requires one to scan a QR code, then enter a PIN, and scribble a signature.

I am not able to get over this seeming like security theater, not to mention being somewhat indignant to the presumptive ownership of a smart phone to go through this song and dance when a piece of paper would suffice as a record.

I've captured the qr code and found that it's not geo-fenced or time-locked so I can check the child in and out in the comfort of my home, but haven't probed the application further.
Yes, because they require it for internal apps. But as "user enrollment" so they are very limited in what they can do. See the table at the bottom of this page[1].

For context this is relatively new and is different from the older way of doing things (device enrollment).

You get a tax deduction by applying a donation against other income.

If they are giving away everything, then there is nothing to offset the donation (except the $17B).

So it kind of makes sense?

If own a single asset worth $1B and donate it all, I have no tax write off because I have no money.
Is whiplash something that shows up in some sort of scan that shows definitively yes/no that the patient has whiplash?

> Australian rail is... not the greatest

Last time I went home I bought a 3 month NSW regional rail pass, which will also get you to Brisbane and Melbourne.

Nearly 70% of my booked trips were replaced with buses. One from Sydney to Canberra ended up being 7 hours long, the train takes 3. Pretty disappointing.

High Speed rail has been discussed for decades now, huge studies and inquiries, the route is basically decided, but it was always deemed "too expensive". Note that we spent 3x the cost of a 10 year Melbourne to Brisbane HSR system in 2021 on covid cash handouts.

Which problem? People are misunderstand me and thinking I am saying that the problem is poor magnetic shielding, aka that the cards when properly stored in the wallet are being demagnetized. But what I am saying is that when handling the wallet it is easy to accidentally touch the card to the outside of the wallet where the magnet is. Are you saying you can rub your cards on the outside of the magnetic wallet, on the magnet, and not demagnetize your cards? I’m still trying to determine whether people are talking about touching the card to the magnetic side of the wallet or they think I’m referring to putting the card in the wallet and having a failure due to poor shielding. I’m not talking about the latter.

The underlying assumption is that if Bill didn't do what he did, whatever products and value werw delivered that earned him the money would not have been created.

Obviously that isn't true as someone else would have built out a commercially successful operating system and various other products instead, and arguably better. Bill was just more aggressive and conniving in his land grabbing abilities. He ran more of a racket than a software company. Various extortion and coercion techniques were employed, such as forcing vendors to only offer Windows, surreptitiously encouraging piracy to gain adoption then turning the thumbscrews, and working with SCO in an attempt to destroy Linux.

People and corporate entities do not truly own land. That is a convenient illusion and a rhetorical trick we endure for perhaps no other reason than the momentum of precedent.

People and corporate entities rent land from governments and we call the rental rate 'property tax'. Furthermore, eminent domain is in part meant to defend against adverse situations of the kind you're describing.

Also from the US. The last business I encountered that insisted on swiping cards was this past Spring, a toy vendor in a local mall. Contactless is normal, and my issue is I will sometimes want to pay someone a tip that only takes Venmo which I just don’t have nor want to have.

Cash-only is far more prevalent than card swiping, and even that is incredibly rare.

I meant more at an individual level - like if I use 100gb of bandwidth today, and 200gb of bandwidth tomorrow there's a good chance that the extra power consumption on at least some of the network from my extra bandwidth is zero if what I described in my previous comment is the case.

If everyone attempted to double their bandwidth usage tomorrow, then yes equipment is going to have to be upgraded. (Although even that could be a case of upgrading equipment that provided N throughput and cost Y watt hours before to newer equipment that provides 2N throughput, and still costs Y watt hours)

I swear, Lisp fandom is the Amiga fandom of programming languages. You have these dedicated supporters who are willing to go to extreme, Herculean lengths to prove that their chosen thing can not only keep up, but in some sense surpass what is popular, combined with nostalgia about the past and "what could have been". In the distant past, Ph.D.s have been awarded based on such feats, like "Look, we can compile Lisp code to run half as fast as Fortran" and "Look, we designed a chip that runs Lisp as a native instruction set". Simultaneously ridiculous and cool, the very picture of hack value. But you're still engineering around the drawbacks of a slow, dynamically typed language.

The Lisp machines were amazing in 1979. But no one is seriously building a Lisp machine today, because modern languages with modern IDEs on ordinary hardware have nearly all the features that Lisp machines had -- including hot-reloading code inside a live, running system -- and get you so, so much farther in the same amount of time than Lisp machines ever could.

Use a modern language inside a modern IDE, and you'll be fine.

If you are going to write a new http software from scratch, I definitely think rust is a good language to use.

I would have liked to have seen more explanation of why they decided to build their own rather than use haproxy though.
Pappas answered that no person who “makes a strategic decision at this platform” is a CCP member. But with respect to the rest of the app’s staff, she said the company does not vet its employees based on their political affiliations. She noted that no other tech platform present at the hearing asks its employees what political parties they belong to.

Laughable defense from Tiktok to compare CCP to American political parties as well as insinuating concerns are about random employees. The Chinese govt took a stake and board seat.

What even is this article

Holes describe a modification of a shape, a large class of such modifications can be lexicalized as nouns regardless of whether they describe addition or removal of material. This article seems to lose its mind over the latter.

Replace the whole thing with "bumps" or "spikes" or "knots" instead of "holes" and it reads like the ravings of a madman (or, more so than it already does). Similarly, holes are not the only modification that remove material, as pointed out by the article, "cracks" and "cavities" and a dozen other words do as well.

Naturally, as modifiers, all of these are "guest" modifications on a "host" shape. You can't have a bump without a flat surface from which the bump can emerge, and you can't have a hole without a shape from which to excavate it. Why does explaining something so plainly obvious require a bibliography 28 references long?
