This exists but is a lot of money for a bad computer. By comparison an intel NUC can actually be a decent computer at 4.6 x 4.41 x 2.01 inches. Why would you actually want this?
Yeah, all of that is too late. The ID verification has to take place at INTERVIEW time, not later.
He’s a smart guy. Planet Money is entertaining. I take my economic education from people with skin in the game, and who make their agendas clear.

BTW is it your contention that NPR is a vigorous defender of free markets?
I'm not arguing things don't fail. Entirely non-connected cars fail for all kinds of hardware/software related reasons too.

One simply can't ignore the fact that today, including outside my own home, millions of cars update software just fine every few weeks, without issue. The number of phones or computers managing it is in the billions.
Solution - monitor your apps for when usage is consistently over request
The android app doesn't always notify me of new email - and if it doesn't notify me for one email, it won't notify me again until I get another email (which might be a day or two apart). That's my only complaint. I have a support ticket open for it; I'm hoping they can figure out what is going on.
I didn't write about shipping speed since the Amazon standard is now 2 days or less. Yes their shipping speed is great, but it isn't a striking relative advantage, comparing against the rest of e-commerce
But those are relatively niche. A majority of people in the United States probably do not remember the last time they were entirely out of cell range. Not to say that the SOS feature isn't great, just it won't resonate with a lot of people. I would argue that the watch is the in the same boat, and the cross-over of the people who want emergency SOS and the people who want a beefy hiking/Garmin-style watch is nearly 1:1. They hit a home-run for some people, but not the mass market appeal they've been known for for 15+ years.
Wind power is advancing at a rapid clip (cost competitive without subsidies). Solar PV too keeps getting cheaper (same re subsidies as far as the panels themselves).

I'm hopeful that battery research keeps advancing the game (moving from lithium to sodium could lead to significant price cuts IIRC).

It's not enough to wean us but it is headed in the right direction. I think the end of the Russian NG pipelines is going to help accelerate this so it could ultimately be a very good thing (but brutal to start with).

Always look on the bright side of life, ta da, ta da da da dee da!
No because that never happened.
Thanks!

Yeah my kit came up a sponge and station too - but unmounted was so lightweight it was worthless. Perhaps a safety threat but I (with my amateur perspective) still think a shorter length would be very beneficial if possible.
>Even the flipping Germans were saying NordStream 2 is dead. This was Scholz in August: “we ended the approval process for good reason.”

The same Germans who said they were shuttering all their nuclear plants until reality changed and they weren't. Tucker Carlson and partisan politics completely aside, only a fool believes anything any politician ever says. Politicians speak out of the desire to gain votes, the desire to gain donations, the desire to gain legal bribes from lobbyists, the desire to gain support (and avoid opposition) from intelligence agencies (primarily the CIA), the desire to gain favor among other perceived powerful interests and the desire to gain positive coverage from the most powerful media outlets (especially those dominant among their respective political constituency). The realities on the ground dictate what happens, and the reality now is that someone blew up the pipeline.
Can you quote one or two of those libertarian turds?
You forgot the part about vast land in Ukraine (the biggest country in Europe) since the fighting is on the other (Eastern) end. Heck west of Ukraine is hardly affected by war in daily life, why do you think Western politicians visit even Kiev if there is such horrible "war" ongoing, why is McDonald's operating, toyshops etc. Odd war if you ask me if it's business as usual in most of the country, feels more like theater to pump those dumb Western Europeans for their money by infamously most corrupt gov in Europe. Yes, there is fighting in east of Europe, yes lot of people die there, but this isn't affecting even most of the Ukraine so playing the BS card about some war in EU is just wet dream of war mongers.
To anyone who are interested in constructed languages, but have always been intimidated learning one, try to learn "toki pona". It's a simple one, perhaps the simplest one, based only on 123 words. I learned it in a few days, there's a memrise course for it, and the difficulty comes mostly from figuring out how to express yourself with the limited vocabulary. It's like a puzzle every time you try to say something. It's a lot of fun!

Well, almost. The only problem (as far as I can think of right now) is that pictures which are included in a document are not limited to the width of the viewing area, by default.

> When they aren't, this is mainly a self-inflicted problem by your browser (that can set whatever default it wants), and by yourself (who can easily override the default browser style with either a personal css file or just by CTRL+scrolling to change your text size).

I fully agree.
I’ve been meaning to get a flipper zero, but I would love to see that device with a standard gig Ethernet port. The flexibility would be amazing. PoE for bonus points.

However, for ultimate utility I think the next iteration of my packet scraper will be a dual NIC’d SBC so I don’t have to worry about hubs or ‘managed’ switches with port mirroring.

A short story of my life and mathematics: Jim Simons
FWiW I have a couple of good friends | past co-workers from Poland in addition to one fairly influential teacher (I'm in Australia) and understand the history and absolutely not Soviet aspect of this argument.

The phrase "Soviet Writer" can be treated more loosely though and can be taken to embrace those that wrote about or had their writing influenced by Soviet events and it's difficult to imagine Lem not being aware of nor affected by the social upheaval radiating out from the formation of the USSR.

His identity is Polish, his writing contains elements that stem from | react to Soviet history and culture .. it's hard to write and not be affected by loud neighbours that raid your kitchen and stomp on your belongings.
Nonsense.

Not sure if you are in the UK but there must be hundreds of thousands of people working in this way and being paid significantly more than FTEs even when benefits are taken into account.

The overwhelming number of contracts signed with them are time and materials rather than fixed scope, and usually with some expectation around working hours.

It is a perfectly fair and reasonable way to contract with someone, for instance if they are operating as part of a team for a fixed project period.

Yeah fossil fuel extraction has a lot of engineering behind it (as well as transport, handling, processing, etc): there had been easily accessible deposits, but they've been depleted a long time ago, at least in europe. The issue with technological progress and scaling bringing down costs for renewables is that there is a similar effect for fossil fuels too. On the other hand, technologies originally developed for fossil fuel extraction can also be used for renewables deployments.
there's a big difference between being able to hear a difference and being able to fix tuning in real time. almost anyone could tell you by listening that the notes aren't the same pitch. most will be able to tell you which is higher, and fewer will be able to identify intonation in context.

If you are a contractor, you are likely doing your own taxes. If you are a FTE (Full Time Employee) the approach of "sub contract it out" gets you in much more trouble.

As a contractor, the company tells the government "we paid John $200,000 for work at $100/hour and 2000 hours" and then the government comes to you and says "You were paid $200,000 and the federal tax on that is $40,811" (and the state comes and says that their rate will be another $15,000).

If you are acting as a contracting company rather than an individual, then the company wouldn't have said "we paid John" but rather "we paid JohnCorp" as the business to business invoicing is different than working as a contractor.

You sent the money out of the country - the IRS doesn't care too much about that. You got paid $100/hour, that's the end of the story from the IRS's perspective as an individual filing.

In the examples given in this thread it is about an individual farming off some (or all) of the work to another person and presenting the work as their own to the company. This is a different arrangement than a "I am the liaison / representative for a team of people who work cheaply for me."
How often do you really need to access the header and navigation "instantly"? In comparison, how often do you need to reread or verify information from a previous paragraph, or review a chart or graph you viewed earlier?

I would guess that for like twenty years Apple had sort of plan stored away to launch a television. Do you remember Mac TV? Pippin? They probably considered it as a possible integration with Apple TV. That would mean for decades there was someone planning the product: How long would it take to launch? How much would it cost? What might the design be? What would be the business plan?

They probably have a few plans like that.

I'm just getting into the python ecosystem in a professional capacity. How does refurb compare to the landscape of other python linters and static analyzers? Is it meant to be used in concert with others or to be more of a one stop shop?

It looks like the checks are in the category of standardizing on modern python syntax features, sort-of one step up from an autoformatter like yapf or black. Is this correct?
I'm not unsympathetic. Until now, Americans have done better and better with every new generation. We're not used to seeing our standard of living decline. We're very much used to always having clean water when we turn the tap, always having power when we flip a switch, always having food when we go to the store, and watching our children grow into a better life than we've had.

It's going to be a long and painful process for people to realize things are changing. People are going to be very hurt and angry as it sinks in for them.

People need to take the CalFire defensible space guidelines seriously: https://www.fire.ca.gov/programs/communications/defensible-s...

Drive into any nice, quaint community at the interface between wilderness and development and you'll see homes surrounded in close proximity by fire vulnerable vegetation. I get it, it looks nice. But there's no way you should be able to get insurance if you allow it.

Not only that, many of these mountain towns are serviced by a limited number of roads, sometimes only one. A wall of fire can easily overtake the population even with advanced warning due to traffic issues.

Climate change is a threat, but fire is also part of the CA ecosystem in many places. It isn't going away and we need to be intelligent in how we anticipate and deal with it.
Honestly, I'm having a hard time digesting your attitude that federal taxes should be allocated to your vacation home in a fire-prone region, than supporting the victims of an unjust war.
Figure out a problem or pain-point that you experience in everyday life. If something is annoying or frustrating, chances are that there is a better way to solve it.

Look for assumptions that might no longer hold. For example: traditional datastructures like B-trees assume hard-disk-based storage where random access times are slow. But what if we convert everything to flash SSDs or run things in RAM, does that open up a space for innovation (eg: storage systems based on log-structured merge trees and other more exotic datastructures)?

Try juxtaposing 2 things that are not normally considered to be related, and then combine them into a mashup.

Start with a small, simple prototype testing the core of your thesis, then iteratively improve it and scale it up. Don't try to boil the ocean, you'll just end up frustrated.

I understand that some of these suggestions have been made possible by recent changes to Python 3. But how do I know whether a specific change suggestion will genuinely improve my codebase vs. just confuse Python developers who are used to seeing things implemented a certain way (e.g., Path lib vs open() )? It would certainly make sense to add more information on the tradeoffs and what long term benefits writing it in a certain way will be.

>there are times when GNU grep is not better suited than sed with ERE

Because, among other things, sed has filtering features like based on line numbers, address range, etc that aren't present in grep.

Regarding known bugs, that probably extends to GNU sed/awk as well. An issue I filed (https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=26864) led to the manual update about back-reference bugs.
Full reserves is not equal capacity covering whole winter. 40% reserves in one country can be more than 100% reserves per capita in other country since each country has different capacity and consumption and these reserves per capita vary a lot.

That’s because there are no reasons for the US to do it. Europe is staying aligned just fine right now. Germans think Russia is an unreliable business partner, and don’t want to deal with them again. Germany is already expanding LNG port capacity to buy more North American gas. It would be a tremendous risk to be discovered; Denmark could trigger Article 5 against the United States. The US needs to show strength in Asia, not that it’s entangled in European affairs. It’s all too much malarkey for Dark Brandon to tolerate.
So the "One who smelt it, dealt it" argument.
I also spent quite some time building desktop and mobile apps (5, maybe 6 years) and also more than 10 years of building web apps and don’t really share this sentiment.

My feeling is exactly opposite. CSS is messy and hacky way to build layouts (the famous “how to center a div”, etc.) while with UI toolkits it tends to be much more straightforward and standardized.

> Saturation divers make up to $45,000 – $90,000 per month and over $500,000 annually. They receive “depth pay” which typically pays out an additional $1 – $4 per foot. Usually, it’s $1 per foot up to 100 feet, then it raises up to $2 per foot after that. Income is dependent upon the length and depth of their project plus tenure of the diver.

As it points out, it takes years of experience to get to this point.

> Many go into the commercial diving field with a money mindset, but no one earns a “quick buck.” You have to work your way up the career ladder and take orders from senior divers and maritime business owners.
The speedometer is one thing, but even more "mission critical" are the warning/error symbols, which have a low-to-medium level safety rating on them. Speedometer probably would have that, too, but monitoring "fancy" screen contents like this becomes a somewhat more involved task.
No way. You'll make more like $700-$1500 per day, but it's not long term employment, it's a contract job for a few weeks to a month at a time. You'd have to have 12 months of work lined up with over time to clear $500k or more. I'm not sure how you could ever hit $1 million in one year. A lot of these divers will only have a couple jobs a year limiting annual income. There are even cases where sat divers compete with each other by giving gifts to project managers at O&G companies in order to line up more work.

These days, remotely controlled underwater vehicles have taken over most the work, especially at the deeper (and higher paying) depths.
You have a way different cellphone carrier experience than I. There are tons of dead zones in the city and driving out of the city it gets hilly quickly, with a corresponding total lack of signal.
That was the "CIA analysis" that was published on the front page of Newsday after the crash that had absolutely nothing to do with the hundreds of eye-witness accounts. Hundreds of people saw a missile fly thousands of feet up from sea level to the plane, which subsequently exploded. Nothing these people saw had anything to do with what happened to the plane after it broke up, which is what the CIA/sanitized-NTSB report addressed. Their further absurd claim that the explosive residue found on the wreckage from the plane was tracked in on the bottom of some passenger's shoe was similarly insulting to the intelligence of everyone who was following the investigation. Combined with the purging of several lead investigators - decades-long veterans of many crash investigations - who insisted that the plane was shot down by a missile, everything points to a missile attack and a coverup.

I have already spare induction cooker I bought recently for ~30€ (as backup just in case, but I also wanna try it and gave option to switch depending on prices + I have electric pressure cooker for years), though the cheapest less efficient electric plates start around 10€, I don't think cooking would make any difference unless you talk about bakeries. The gas is really essential only for heating homes and industry.

Yesterday (before this came up on HN) I came across in my daily paper chase a follow up paper from the lead author Ranga. Looks like the same fossil superconductor, but they manage to add another sensational detail: the superconductor is composed of dissociated molecules(?!!!). Truly shades of another Hendrik Schon[0].

https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2022/cc/d2cc0...

So far, it has not been retracted.

One wonders whether anybody at the journals ever glances at the maxim "If it's too good to be true, have someone check the data."

[0]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%B6n_scandal

Footnote added: the toogoodtobetrue bit in the original paper was that the transitions were a bit too sharp for a real superconductor. That was the main thing that got this started.
