Almost every concrete task is easier, or at least not meaningfully harder.

But getting to that point where you feel like you're accomplishing something, where what you've produces feels like it measures up to the standards you've been taught to expect, that barrier's gone up so much faster.
It’s probably time for Master Lock to change their branding as well
There are some people who drive for work (eg. traveling salespeople, rideshare & delivery drivers, most tradespeople) and then there are others that drive to commute to an office for 8 hours. Rideshare & delivery drivers might be on the road for 8+ hours/day, tradespeople & traveling salespeople for 4-5, office workers for 20-60 minutes, with a skew toward the lower end of that. That's a pretty skewed distribution.
Plaid is not used when your bank integrates with Zelle, which most banks do (some credit unions and smaller community banks aside). FedNow instant payments go GA in 8 months, at which point instant payment functionality will begin to roll out gradually to all US financial institutions.

Regardless, avoid PayPal and Venmo at all costs, as there are reasonable alternatives for many use cases. They have avoided regulation more traditional financial service providers operate under (banking regs), so using them is to invite suffering.
It’s a little strange that there is a Sharpie in the photo. It would make it better with a bunch of post it notes and one of those Apple mice upside down and connected to a USB cord.
I work with a lot of uncompressed structured binary files so I finally broke down and wrote my own system based on the Restic chunker: https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver
It's pretty basic, but it works for me and will hopefully inspire someone to make a "real" data VCS based on content-defined chunking.
Right, but the margins on what you're describing as Kodak's hypothetical business is nowhere near as good as what they had on film.

Who wants to invest time & money into developing a mature, low-margin business?
When the goal of media is to act as the propaganda arm for ruling elites who are hell bent on establishing anything outside their pushed narrative is misinformation, there is no going back. Virtually the same thing happened with Covid, vaccines, elections, Russiagate and there has been no lesson learned, no corrections or reflections. The purpose of the media is not to keep the people in power in check but to act for whatever agenda they are pushing.

No, producing a program that can verify that all correct programs are correct implies solving the halting problem.

Verifying a particular piece of software is correct just implies you've proved that one piece correct. (And probably wasted your time dicking around with it only to find that the actual issue was in software you treated as 'outside' of the software you were verifying...)

Interesting - I don't see this as legally different to a bank charging overdraft fees, or a credit provider charging late fees, which I presume are possible in Europe?

Modern fighters are all about sensing and targeting the enemy first since missiles are so deadly. The missiles are much faster than the planes so which way the missile is pointed at matters less and most of the time it is better to be pointed forward.

So the optimizations and tradeoffs are in sensing and targeting further away or being able to rotate a sensor to target an enemy off bore.
Thanks, I could have sworn I linked it...
However, a 300-mile battery is appreciably heavier than a 50-mile battery: it wastes energy on the extra mass. Why carry around 100s of pounds of extra battery on the off-chance of going on a road trip when most people have a round-trip commute distance less than 100 miles?
Brave new world… you’ll comply or we’ll bankrupt you
It'll be the old, PayPal fines you, takes your money, then go find a lawyer or maybe a class action to get it back. I hate banks and bank-like entities ability to have direct access to your money to dip in and grab what they think is theirs. I think there should be laws that keep your funds pure, and if the bank or bank-like wants to charge you, they have to go through the same process as any other business.
This is how conspiracy theories work by continually shifting to whatever has not yet been debunked — the opposite of the scientific process described in the papers referenced by that article.

The theory originally was that this was an escaped bioweapon. Proof going back to the previous century shows that’s not the case; as does basic consideration of the low hypothetical value of a weapon which is slow, not very lethal, and easily managed by basic military hygiene practices; and now we’re left with, what, the claim that the military might have caused slightly faster spread of the same pathogen which was already spreading in the wild? That’s like saying that COVID must be an escaped bioweapon because some PLA soldiers coughed on civilians, and it’s a weak enough formulation that nobody leads with that rather than the dramatic sounding false claim.
MBWay in Portugal is similar
I wasn’t sent this as a PayPal user, regardless of when it would become effective. I recognize it’s hosted by them but it doesn’t appear to be actual policy actually directed at users from what I can tell. Is there some event which gave cause to this being treated as even being effective in the future? Or is it just some file we’re all looking at as if it’s an official finalized document?

Is it legal? And is this relevant to both buyers and sellers or only sellers?
An XT class luggable of mine had a Memory/RTC/GamePort/Parallel/Serial/InternalModem card installed when I acquired it. Some research on the card showed it was released in 1986. If they were being put on multifunction cards then the market had to already have been full of dedicated cards.

I was around and using modems at the time but really don't remember the brief era of 1200 baud modems. The family TRS-80 Model 1 had a Novation CAT 300 attached which my father's work let him take home when they disposed of it around 1980. In the mid-80's my C64 used a 300 baud Commodore 1660 modem. Next thing I remember, I was shoving an internal 2400 baud modem into a new Packard Bell PB500 XT class machine. That modem got well used.

Got to say, love the name Didymos - twin.

You can spend $3.5-6k plus labor to replace a leaf’s battery with a reconditioned battery. It can work out to a reasonable investment.
Obviously you can speak to your family's experience, but your argument seemed to suggest they would have no room to complain compared their predecessors from 170 years ago. I don't know your exact family's story, but 30 years ago was not that long ago, and the problems faced then, many still face today. Homelessness and hunger are still major issues. Medical debt is still the largest contributor to bankruptcies. On top of this you have a major pandemic, re-stoking of cold war tensions and women's rights being rewound to the 70s.

When I look back at history I am more disgusted with the rampant exploitation that occurred, which made lives harder, an issue yet to be solved in the modern era. Sure people survived, but living a hard life is nothing anyone should aspire to, nor a reason society should be telling someone to "suck it up and stop whining".
For payment. Just use your credit card. Most countries have consumer credit protection that is pretty good if you need to get your money back.

According to some big corps.
There's also no reason cars really need to charge that fast. Most people park their cars for hours at a time, either at home or work or a store.

Imagine if every parking spot in an apartment had a slow charger that could charge your car overnight. Simply plug in and activate and it properly charges your apartment.

And now your employer makes it a free perk, or teams up with the electric co. so that you could do the same at work and get charged market rates directly.

Perhaps malls or larger stores provide a similar slow charger without the insane upcharge of Level 2 chargers. Heck, imagine something similar to parking validation. If you make purchases at the store or see a movie or whatever, then you get a code to "validate" your charging so you get the cost (or a portion) waived.

With infrastructure like that, then you only need fast chargers when you travel long distances, such as between states or cities.
And yet, when I just went to close my Paypal account, I remembered my final use for it was helping out a friend in need who sometimes needed money to cover their bills.

They barely have a functioning bank in their town, they're definitely not gonna be able to pay their local bill with whatever fad blockchain currency for a while.

So I do all the work to buy and transfer crypto and hope it doesn't lose 20% of its value while I'm doing that because Elon Musk had a bad day and shit-tweeted. They what? Drive a few hours to work out where to get cash from BTC to pay their real world bills?
> It doesn't cost 9 lakhs. It costs 19 lakhs

A couple thoughts, from a (former) lawyer:

• Some are asking about whether this rule implicates off-platform speech. This is not 100% clear to me. It says "you may not use the PayPal service for activities that...involve the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials that [are prohibited]".

This seems to be far too broad as it relates to the transaction itself, as one of the prohibited categories is "depict or promote illegal drug use". So if you sell a DVD of Trainspotting, then you are using the PayPal service for activities that involve the sending of content that depicts illegal drug use. Get ready to be fined $2,500.

You also could not use PayPal to sell a DVD of the movie 42 (about Jackie Robinson), because it "depict[s] discrimination of protected groups or of individuals or groups based on protected characteristics (e.g. race...)".

It seems absolutely bonkers to think that using PayPal for these transactions (or the many other examples imaginable) could result in a $2,500 fine.

It is unclear how broadly PayPal can sweep in off-platform language. That is, if you have a website that sells all sorts of things, can they claim that you are "using the PayPal service for activities" that break their rules? The fact that this is to be determined "in PayPal's sole discretion" does not bode well for a seller.

• This is framed as "liquidated damages", which IIRC are not allowed in some jurisdictions. Liquidated damages basically means "we're just deciding on this amount as a deterrent, not because it relates at all to the harm actually suffered by any of the parties". In general, liquidated damages are disfavored because they discourage so-called "efficient breach" of contracts. This happens when A agrees to paint B's house for $500, but then A gets an offer to paint C's house for $10,000 on the same date. A knows that B can find a replacement painter for $1,000 even at the last minute, so he decides to breach his agreement with B and is willing to pay the actual damages (the extra $500 that B would have to pay) because it is efficient for him to do so, given his ability to earn much more money painting C's house.

• This amount that PayPal can deduct under this TOS is not limited to $2,500. That is just the liquidated damages piece. They could claim other, larger damages, though I can't really imagine what that would be. Harm to their reputation? Seems hard to prove.
No need to make a compelling case at this point, it is widely known. Israel has a large tech sector, much of which is directly or indirectly related to "security" and "defense", aka military and surveillance. Not much unlike the US either, but companies like NSO are at the top of their game and seem to have little restraint about whom their products are sold to.

Where is the housing in the cities getting built? Most are not zoned nor regulated to support such a massive demographic shift.
1.5 to 3 min gasoline fill is trivial. 15 minute EV charge is not. It's also a long time to wait in terms of the logistics of queuing people.

EV is kinda limited to out and back trips. Which is a lot of the need (commuting), to be fair. Recharging on the go will always be worse compared to ICE.
> The rhythms of digital media rush me on from crisis to crisis, from outrage to outrage.

I relatively agree with this, but I don't think social media is special. I think we are almost all blown about by our own lives, by the small world about us, and by the larger world about. Digital media has little impact here; the same would be possible via telegraph: we are in touch with one another, with larger currents. That has impacts.

I tend to think we need better means to reflect. We should be chipping in with what we are feeling, declaring how invested we really feel. And re-assessing our views & our investments latter. Rather than just a long history of meaning & caring stacking ever infinitely upwards, we should re-assess, review ourselves, where we are invested, check what we were feeling, declare whether we are feeling the same. Reflection is a missing component, and important given how exposed the individual is, how easily the self is stripped away, amid the barrage of otherness that we are so suffused in.

Overall there's a ton of obtuse barely usable loose ideas presented to strongly as how-things are in this article. It's unintelligible entirely me to me how we reach conclusions stated in the intro that we feel to little, are too impoverished. Overload does not equal absence, nor is this grappled with nor explained. Although I agree that social media lacks important functions of reflection & stepping away, I don't see how that leads at all to the dire conclusions, and I don't think there's anything inherent that prevents us from developing better reflective practices with the connected media we already have.

Also, it bugs me a lot that the author acts like emotions are only experienced in the limits of an experience. I think about the things I run into online regularly enough. I feel like the author only regards the emotions I feel right then when I'm on the site. But I feel like I'd have these emotions whether I was using social media, reading a newspaper, or on broadcast media. I am connected to the world & those feelings extend into my life. The author seems to miss that.
Ironically one of the most consistent ways to do transaction between exchanges and normal Fiat banks (you know to do anything useful with your currency) is to use paypal.
"China's Credit score" really is a "Persecution score". "Credit score" is the lie. It is all about persecution. Now PayPal is going 100 mph at persecution with $2,500 * incidents.

Their document says "If you create a message ... unfit for publication". This is a blank check to persecute you (take $2,500 * n) just for non-criminal speech.
Weird, the ads for me were very boring.
I never signed anything saying they can fine me $2500 for any reason they want.
> The problem is that EV cars have a finite lifespan on the most expensive component of the car... the battery

Then they get less range, they don't die completely..
Ya, the horrible thing is that I’ve never seen a Tesla used for under $20k. Until we can get some used Tesla vehicles at economical price points, EVs will just not be mainstream.

Ok, there is some sarcasm in that. You can get a Leaf for cheap.
Has anyone plugged in the spectrum of a red dwarf star to see what color plants on a planet orbiting one would be? He states that the code is all available. I’m really curious.
That was my first thought. Once the world's richest economies hit the EV tipping point where automotive gasoline becomes a shrinking market, gas costs are going to go crazy, especially since things like refining capacity will go down as costs are cut and new investment goes to zero.

The market for cheap electric cars and scooters/bikes will explode as consumers worldwide see the price of gas get higher and higher. Many of these cheap EVs won't be sold (or even legal to sell) in North America, but someone somewhere will meet that demand.
Wonder if it also includes that they can draw from a debit card account as well. That would be nuts imo.
His comment was about snow though. What do you think of that?
they're not a bank, so I don't think they can do that.

Over 80% of Americans live in a single family home.
According to the posted article, Toyota does have plans to offer several all-electric models in 3 years (in 2025). My main takeaway from what Toyoda said was Toyota's goal to offer as many options as possible to its customers - this includes ICE, hybrids, BEV, and hydrogen cars. What Toyota is refusing is letting go of developing all other types of vehicles and focusing only on BEV, which is fair imo.
Could be. But why would they do that?
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 doesn't apply to NSO because fuck logic.

If you are NSO, you can openly commit computer fraud/abuse and even sell it as a product/service.
I think a good comparison is that in some parts of North America it's a given that you 'need' a truck to be able to do anything related to DIY or maintaining your home, or even to be able to live in more remote locations. Where as in Europe people just make do with whatever compact car they have, and if they need to carry more stuff rent a trailer or pay for delivery.
Who is pushing for implementing this stuff? I can’t imagine this being sole CEO’s decision. Is this the ESG thing? Politicization in the PR department? Public cries?

It would be good to dissect the source and where this is originating from within the company.
Most cars parked at "home" dont have access to a charger.
If we had a magic wand to make them disappear, Id wave it.

And as more countries get it, 10 and counting, we're guaranteed to have an exchange at some point. The exchange will at best break the taboo on using nuclear weapons. Or it could lead to a global exchange.

And it only makes sense to get acquire them. Not getting them, or giving up a nuclear project, is dumb geopolitics.

But we dont have a magic wand. So should the US (or any large power) unilaterally give them up?

Of course not! Thats incredibly stupid because the other super power would trample on you.

Should the super powers agree to give them up? It was tried, it failed miserably. Besides, you cant get the top N nuclear powers to give them up because then the N+1 power now is the world's eminent super power.

Even if you got all ten to agree to give them up, nukes aren't that hard for a semi modern state to acquire. Pakistan and N. Korea have them! 1970s India acquired them. That an eleventh country (out of the 50-60 or so that could build one) will acquire them is basically guaranteed.

The list of countries that are turn key capable or renounced a probably successful program is very long.

So no. We're stuck with them. And we'll probably end the world because of them. On the bright side, global warming is a much smaller concern once you accept this.
While radiation isn't a poison, in this case it's similar enough: the higher the dose, the more likely (or faster) the death.

But you might raise some red flags if your workplace notices you doing calculations to calculate criticality experiments next to calculations of human radiation dose levels and lethality.
It's not Linux but if you wanted to learn about real time, you could check out Ardupilot for drones. You'll get to learn about a variety of topics including:

- hardware (embedded hardware, brushless motors, propellers, batteries, radio, etc.)

- guidance (sensor fusion algorithms, kalman filtering, etc.)

- navigation (GPS/GNSS, magnetometers, barometers, accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc.)

- control (PWM control, PIDs, feed forward loops, etc.)

I'm not here to support conspiracy theories but you're falling into the same trap: you're trying to prove a negative. In this cause you're arguing it is "not very lethal" and thus not the result of a military weapon experiment.

Guess what? The military and humanity at large make things that suck all the time. Just because something is ineffective doesn't prohibit it from being a military weapon. If that was the case we'd never have boondoggles where military spending runs amok and never produces anything useful.

Most EVs have 300 mile range. You can drive for 4-5 hours between charges, and recharging takes under an hour. In a few years, you won't need to worry about range or charging.

Also, EVs are way more fun to drive. For instance Kia likes to point out that their 2023 EV6 ($41k) hatchback has better acceleration than a top-end 2023 Porsche Cayenne coupe.

Infrastructure concerns are way overblown. I charge my commuter car with a 110v outlet. It draws as much as a space heater or electric kettle.
Did something similar as an experiment a few years ago, except I used photos and name strings as fuzzy identifiers across social media profiles.

We also scraped individual reactions from social media apps to get a _very_ detailed profile on what they engaged with (like using the "Angry" reaction emoji when Trump said something stupid vs using the "Angry" reaction emoji when someone AOC said something stupid).

Never released it in the wild for obvious ethnical reasons, but was an interesting technical challenge. Also led to super interesting insights – like learning that videos and text links were watched by entirely different audiences on Facebook and Twitter [1]

Imagine starting a new business in payments with a condition like that.
We resolve this in two ways

1. All git-lfs files are kept in the same folder

2. No one can directly push commits to one of the main branches, they need to raise a PR. This means that commits go through review and its easy to tell if they've accidentally commit a binary, and we can just delete their branch form the remote bringing the size back down.
