This just reminded me, resently I wanted to plug some things into a smart switch (you plug the switch into the wall, you plug something into the switch, you can now turn the thing on/off from your phone etc...)

A year ago I bought a pack of 4 Meross smart switches. I was using one and had 4 left. The one had issues, about once every 2-3 months it would stop responding. I'd unplug it and plug in back in and it would work again.

Any, last week I wanted to plug something else in so I grabbed one of the remaining 3 switches. I could not get it to pair with the iPhone Home app (the same app I was using for the first switch). I tried moving closer to my WiFi (right next to it in fact). No luck. I tried all 3 switches. No luck. Ok, go online, Meross has an app that might let me do the pairing and/or apply upgrades? Download the app. You can't use the app unless you make an account. F that. I took all 4 switches that immediately threw them in the trash.

I searched and found Eve (https://www.evehome.com/) who "claim" they are all about privacy

They cost >2x the Meross ones. Got 2. They work so far. Crossing my fingers they're legit, though my guess is they won't last. Few consumers care AFAICT.
Those aren't really the same thing. You can go to the next level of detail on the password question. Was the officer reliably in the area, was his password well known, is it trivial for anyone to find the password. Whereas wifi at your home, there are endless ways to get it, plus did you share it with anyone.

On a slightly different track to the other comments but make the computer work for you. Reduced memory retention means using good static types, lots of tests, and libraries/APIs that are hard to use incorrectly are an enormous benefit.
I have a Thelio (AMD, I agree with you on Intel) and I think the case is great. Mine has the wood trim and looks much nicer than almost every desktop case I’ve seen.
They've also issued a cease and desist order. If Google continues its anti-competitive behavior, they can slap it with a much bigger fine.
well, in the last week off the top of my head:

- playing guitar with amp (yea, you can w/o but less fun haha)

- loading up all our bikes to go to a scenic trail (getting cold, so also packing heavier clothes takes up space)

- transported a ridiculously heavy side table, picked it up from friends house.

- 3D printing. I suppose could be done but the fumes get unpleasant after awhile, best in a shed or garage.

- bulk buying groceries to save money (technically my wife handles this but I've done it before)

I'm sure I could think of a few more and I do have "edge cases" that come about because I just like to build things (usually involving PVC pipes, lol). I guess my point is that I just couldn't do many of these things in an apartment, I certainly tried ahah.

OP _literally_ said that.
this is probably small in the scheme of things, but working memory is known to often be poor in sufferers. This my computer configuration has no-auto-raise, so I can have a window in the foreground, whilst typing into a window behind it. what this allows me to do is not have to short-term-memorize eg variable or function names, I can type into the destination while looking directly at the source window. Works on Linux; won't work on Mac due to the way their menu bar works.

This started to become a problem in the early 1990s. A friend of mine had trouble with his Honda that turned out to be a faulty but expensive microchip that needed replacing.

Gone are the days when you could go to a local junk yard and pick up cheap replacement parts and install them yourself.

Or are they? Maybe a new generation of auto mechanics will have the electronics expertise to repair newer vehicles.
Entropy should be redefined as “the distribution of potential over negative potential “ as this covers cases both in physics and information theory.

The arrow of time would then be the entropic dilation of objective reality (the manifest form of all potential in the universe.)

It is not that things cannot be “undone” rather that the potential necessary to restore them are many times greater (as distributed over space and conversion to heat through work) than their original form.
> They are only suing when the memorizer is trying to make money off of the song without permission of the copyright holder.

Granted everything I know about copyright law I learned in a few audio tapes in my car, but I think the question I have is not, can you sue AI for absorbing information, but is AI unique enough that you couldn't find byte strings or patterns that match source material too closely.

See the recent twitter thread on CSParse for example: https://twitter.com/docsparse/status/1581461734665367554
I think my point is that because the nebula is in our own galaxy, its motion relative to Earth would be dominated by the orbital motions of the two bodies (insofar as one can consider a whole nebula a "body"). So any Doppler shift of the light traveling from the nebula to Earth would be redshifted as the galactocentric orbits of the two bodies carried them away from each other, but blueshifted as the orbits carried them towards each other.

Which is a roundabout way of also saying: the nebula and Earth are in a gravitaionally bound system (the Milky Way) where gravity overpowers whatever it is that's causing cosmic inflation. So even if their orbital motions result in a redshift as currently viewed from Earth, the amount of redshift contributed by inflation (if any) is undetectable.

That said, if you know the orbits of two bodies, and can predict their motion relative to one another, you could calculate the expected red or blue shift, as viewed from one of those bodies, at any point in their orbits. :)

Edit: missing words
Cool. Yup, I think it's good to have that text.

Another common tactic is creating an actual Demo page, as if a user was logged-in, where they can say play around with sample clips already uploaded - especially if there's functionality like Drag & Drop + Add New etc.

Also, "SoundSeeker has 3 structural tiers:" - I don't intuitively understand what is meant by "structural tier" - and so perhaps there's simpler language that can be used?

And is "Suites" "Blobs" and "Clips" the common name used for people who organize music like this - or are they terms you came up with?

If you came up with them, why did you choose those words - and would a thesaurus maybe help see a better set of words that work well together?

I think conservatives see it either as a Nancy Pelosi problem, or a general government problem. Either way this doesn't apply pressure to their own Republican politicians. As a "Nancy problem", the incentive for Republican politicians is to let the problem continue because Nancy continuing to be contentious is politically advantageous for the Republican party. In the case of seeing this as a general government problem, their ideology says that the solution is less government. From this angle, Republican politicians still aren't incentivized to address this specific problem.
> My point is that a lot of people don't seem to understand the 'why' of this issue

We understand the "why" of the actual issue - i.e. the bandwidth consumption - just fine. It's Cloudflare's decision to micromanage data formats consuming that bandwidth (instead of just, you know, evaluating the bandwidth itself and being done with it) and using that as their basis for a ToS violation that's entirely whackadoodle.

> Well they are.

Then that is indeed absolutely horrifying and a problem in and of itself. Privacy concerns (of which there are a multitude) aside, this seems like a really great way to break all sorts of things, and I'd trust the claims of "lightweight", "invisible", and "strict privacy" about as far as I can throw them.

> If CF replaces that html with their own then the browser will likely run it allowing them to run all kinds of probes then run the redirect. The same is not true for a .txt file or an image.

The same is absolutely true for a .txt file or an image. Consider two flows:

1. You click on a link, your browser loads a text file.

2. You click on a link, your browser loads an HTML+JS file, the embedded JS redirects your browser, your browser loads a text file.

Same end result, same client-side probing opportunities, and without needing to rely on swinging JS into the end document like Patrick Bateman swinging an axe into his coworker's face while ranting about "Hip To Be Square".

Or better yet: just don't do this and only care about the raw bandwidth consumed, instead of actively making the World Wide Web a worse place with "clever" tricks like anally probing my browser to see if it's browsery enough for some arbitrary standard of browserness (for the sake of a "protection" that's almost certainly trivial to break with one of the umpteen headless browser solutions anyway).
My Amcrest AD410 doorbell encodes 2K (2560x1920) video at 15fps 24/7, and my previous Nest camera did 1600x1200 at 30fps 24/7. I guess it is more a limitation of their specific product than of the category in general.

> or why the Chinese government would find it especially useful.

Let’s say you’re an individual that the Chinese government doesn’t like too much - perhaps you protest too loudly about things like Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang, or Tibet.

Perhaps you’re also originally from China but are now a naturalized citizen (or perhaps your spouse is).

Perhaps the Chinese would like a word with you and want you to come down to the local police station [0] for a friendly chat [1]

It sure would be nice for the government to be able to locate you easily.

Perhaps though you’re aware of the privacy issues with TikTok and you avoid it.

Problem solved - except for your kid who has it installed on her phone so now they know where you live.

So Just ban your kid from using TikTok - problem solved (hah), except they’re also monitoring social graphs so now you need to make sure none of your kids friends use it either.

It’s not difficult to see how such a system could present a problem to certain individuals.

For most people this kind of surveillance isn’t going to mean anything.

But for those certain people of interest it could be a real problem.

Maybe you’ll never cross the line between random individual vs person of interest, but do you know where the line is and how it changes and expands as all systems like this do?

inb4 “but US-based social media companies track you like this too”. Yes they do, and it will become a growing problem depending on how much you trust the government of the day.

In some specific cases, I agree. But life should not be optimized for specific and unusual cases.

I've transported bulky cargo further than two blocks, by the way. I'd rather suffer in those cases, but keep the streets relatively free of cars for the more common cases, like pedestrian quality of life.

I’m not sure I buy the argument that you can say that we know the halting problem is unsolvable and therefore we can’t calculate BB.

The halting problem is unsolvable due to a contradiction, but there is a finite set of programs with given number of symbols; one or more of them share the max non infinite running time, and if you did have the oracle to answer that, you can in fact run the algorithm provided, except for how long this would take in real time.

A different take is that you can write a program that will only terminate if ZF set theory is false, which is impossible to prove using math due to Gödel's incompleteness theorems. We assume this program should run forever, but would not be able to prove it. That program provides some upper bound to the highest BB number we could ever hope to prove with certainty: 748 according to this article from a few years back.

The problem of the post is that an all knowing oracle doesn’t have this problem, and assuming the program has finite length, our being able to prove whether it halts or not does not stop there from being an answer to that question.

As I don't understand the full scope of the problem, I fail to understand why license plate readers are going to help much. Further, I refuse to believe that when these cases of retail theft occur, the stores attacked are not getting footage of a car, with partially readable plates, make, and model.

Even more importantly, if they went through with whatever plan they have here, why wouldn't criminals just remove their plates, use different plates, use fake plates, hide their plates temporarily, etc.? The license plate reader seems like a fairly easy thing to beat especially when you know exactly when you'll be performing an act of retail theft.

This just seems like an opportunistic attempt to grant a sweet contract to some license plate reading company, not an earnest attempt to solve a problem.
> Rider education and constantly practicing is key. It also helps you enjoy motorcycling more too.

I don't think many non-motorcyclists get this aspect of riding, ie. that the activity itself is one to be honed and reflected on, and that treating it this way makes the mere act of transporting yourself from one place to another (which is essentially dead time for many car drivers) a keen and vital part of life.

I can definitely see rents increase. A walkable city is one where you don’t need a car (you only need to rent one if you go on a road trip or you can fly/bus to wherever you like) NOR car insurance. Given that, if you’re an apartment management company, and your prospective tenants have an extra $100-500 a month in change, would you or would you not raise rents, given the demand for an apartment in a walkable city is huge?
yes because im tired of the climate of war that the US propagate and I hope I can help some americans se the hipocrisy in your external policies.
> They gave that away for free (later $20) and it could piggyback on any phone with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The fact that we had such a robust, simple, and universal interface which was taken away from us, effectively increasing the cost of the equivalent peripherals by 2 or 3X, while decreasing their potential usefulness and lifespan by a similar factor is yet more evidence of a new technocratic corporate disdain for users.

Big companies would rather control their users through marketing, branding, and technological lock in, than genuinely benefiting their users at the deepest level.

Another example: The Lightning cable.
As someone coming from a city who's had this problem for years, I can just say it can get better.

We've petitioned, protested, lobbied and in the end it happened.

The city is Zenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In the end, as success can often be, it was so anti-climatic (no pun intended). One year it just got better, we felt it and went on with our lives.
Considering every testing unit given out increases the potential hazard of premature disclosure, that seems remarkable.

I think that Ukraine's economy is in a war footing and can't reasonably be compared to non-war metrics. I am sure that many or most Ukrainians are working and producing the hardest they've ever done. But the returns they are working for are not financial. Not strictly.

You just can't apply normal standards. Ukraine is bustling; even flaring up. Can they sustain it? I hope they can, long enough. They're certainly managing better than Russia.

Between this and "beacown" I came to a realization. I work on codebases worth way less than these amd we do lots of different static analyzers two compilers, lots of unit tests with coverage checks and asan/ubsan. The linux kernel and sha are worth tons of money. Thus, someone wrote all the pipelines and unit tests for that software too. The problem is, the people who paid for all that work aren't the people that rely on thos software's security. It's paid for by people that rely on it's insecurity. So we don't know about this stuff until they or the people they sold it too use these exploits.

Edit: in case the solution I propose isn't obvious, organizations like red hatand google need to pay for these pipelines and unit tests. Getting good unit test coverage is expensive and ubsan and asan don't work without that coverage. So since no one has mentioned it yet, you could rewrite this stuff in rust as a poor man's substitute. It will catch some of the aame things, but ultimately there is no substitute for test coverage with sanitizers. Well, maybe formal analysis?
Studied and then escaped from a lab does not equal synthetic.

So what's the fundamental principle here, and why does it only apply to car companies? Just because you can make a law that way, it follows a principle you respect?

I'm not concluding my opinion on either side of this right now. I just am lately skeptical of the number of laws and movements we have that are justified "because I agree with this particular outcome" but aren't sustainable principles to run a society off of (without constantly having to create exceptions). Even if I like that I'm not being "gouged" in NJ, is the principle behind this right?

Is the principle, "you shouldn't be charged for something that a company has already built and put in the product"? Or "we don't like paying for something that seems like you should physically have control over"?

If it's the first one, how does this not apply to subscription models in general? Tons of companies have stuff they've already built and put in what the customer could conceivably already access without charge. Printer ink, locked CPU cores, how about private areas of venues that you have to pay extra to access? Software that a company has already developed but doesn't "cost them anything" to keep offering to you aside from a login barrier. First class seats on airplanes. Doesn't this all follow the same principle?

On the second principle, why is this specially deserving of interference / protection in what customers are willing to pay or tolerate? Why don't they pass a law about not being "gouged" on extra storage on my iPhone costing $100 more? The memory is already in there, why should I be forced to pay extra to unlock it?
