I just noticed that on mobile devices the gyroscope can be used to move the cards.
Now I wonder if the card could actually stay fixed in place, and just make the holo effects move. That would probably look more realistic and impressive, as if the card was actually on
the screen.
Nice.

15 years ago when someone introduced me to FB I called it FarceBook.
The right answer to most of this corruption is to create a system of check and balances with complete blinded information exchange between each check point so no one decision body is influenced by another. This is impossible to create because of vested interests and likely never happen.

I bought a pair of Numark TT 200 (the low end for DJing), both 2nd hand, a set for traktor also 2nd hand, and a numark pro smx that was new but during a shop liquidation. Total was below 1000€ and I had many months of fun. Unfortunately there is not so much room for me to play in my condo now and the walls don't have great isolation so they are stored but last time I checked they work pretty much like new. Especially the SMX is incredible and will probably last my entire life.
> it basically indicates that Musk doesn't trust them. Hmm, that's not optimal.

I don't read it like that. The most anti-Musk people have likely already left. But with Peiter Zatko alleging serious security breaches, dysfunction, and cultural issues at Twitter, it's likely a good idea to get a few independent eyeballs on whatever problems there may be.
US waitstaff aren't covered by minimum wage laws - effectively a very large component of their income is "variable compensation" through tips. This is "expected" to be 10-20%. The culture doesn't quite come out and say "you need to put down 10% more than the number stated on your bill in order for the person serving you to make rent", but if you don't it will be interpreted as an insult.
For me this is how I learned mathematics up until university. By just going unprepared to exams or doing extracurricular competitions and then "inventing the math" in the exam. In the case of competitions it was a bit more fun than exams which would still just be testing one or two ideas with a few examples but still it is in my opinion the more fun way to go about it. All these kids who were memorizing things, or studying the thing to death, a lot of them had trouble understanding what it was that they were doing.

Get a hobby outside of work. Mine is English standup comedy (I live in Taiwan). There’s only 10-15 people really doing it here but its easy to make friends naturally by showing up consistently every week. This goes for any hobby too.

Performing arts are my favorite because building comradery when you’re all on stage together happens naturally.

iOS 12.5.6 was released in August to address a security vuln for the 5s, 6, etc.

The 5s debuted Sept 2013 as the first 64-bit phone, and the first phone with a Secure Enclave, so I'm kind of hopeful they'll just keep limping it along forever for good will... I own a pair of them and adore them dearly.

On the topic of iOS, be sure to check out https://libimobiledevice.org/, which provides utilities like ifuse that will even get you access to your Photos sqlite database; including all the machine generated tags, aesthetics scores and such.
It feels similar to the sometimes unintended consequence of having more legislation only serving to entrench the incumbents by making it hard for new players to enter. In a couple of African countries I am familiar with it is the same story. An endless series of papers and stamps and signatures that are supposed to stop corruption but really just serve as an opportunity to be corrupt. I am so paranoid now of not having the right paper I tend to store all papers issued by a government official.
Data protection authorities don’t need to go through the courts. They have the authority to levy fines. They are by and large slow, understaffed, and in some cases allegedly criminally negligent or coerced into inaction. Try to file a GDPR complaint and see where it gets you. I’ve done it a couple of times. Once with the backing and support of NOYB (argueably one of the most prominent privacy organizations), and didn’t get any sense of the system actually working. Yes, there are some prominent fines trying to set example, but as you say with millions of website and thousand upon thousand of violations, this is a drop in the ocean.
"We need to take information, wherever it is stored, make our copies and share them with the world. We need to take stuff that's out of copyright and add it to the archive. We need to buy secret databases and put them on the Web. We need to download scientific journals and upload them to file sharing networks. We need to fight for Guerilla Open Access. With enough of us, around the world, we'll not just send a strong message opposing the privatization of knowledge — we'll make it a thing of the past. Will you join us?"

That is powerful. I know how hard is to find some decent science materials from the fields I am interested in, so I use to seed on tpb a few hundred of really great technical books even despite I do not have a dedicated seedbox yet.

I have reinvented the wheel.

My 'reinvention' could be considered as swapping the 'bearing bits' around a bit if you wished to mock my efforts. I was only interested in one particular application, the goal to reduce the parts count, to make servicing easier and to have a lighter/stronger product.

As a thought exercise I highly recommend reinventing the wheel, not for the sake of it but to solve a real world problem. For instance, if people struggle to use your widget and assemble it incorrectly. Or if regulatory and safety requirements have made the original design somewhat cumbersome.

We live in a great time for reinventing the wheel with open source CAD tools and 3D printing making it possible to create a functioning prototype.

You can also check your homework to see how far others have got. Patents relating to wheels are what you might call numerous, however, with first principles thinking and an in depth understanding of how it works there is the possibility to devise something that is actually novel, even if it is just swapping a few 'bearing bits around'.
Amazon never did this. They gave some extra stocks.
I came to the comments to warn exactly this, perhaps more emphatically.

Do not set up a legal entity in India. It will become a never-ending void where money and time go to die. The bureaucracy is hilariously inept and bloated, and if you are not willing to pay the bribes or for some entity to navigate the systemic corruption on your behalf, you will end up in OP's situation.

On this website you have loads of people claiming that Twitter is an utility and should be regulated and even funded from taxes instead of running as for-profit company... I don't agree with this, but I think it's not so clear cut to be disgusted - many intelligent people think so as well...

... No.

When you hit hundreds of concurrent operations there is no such thing as sequential. Also there is no need for sequential reads because a stripe of 7-15 disks would give you much more than streaming bitrate needs.

You could make climate change worse through bad natural water management. E.g. you could create a desert, or something in between.
Of course! But I still was positively surprised that GIMP, Youtube and even Kdenlive worked flawlessly on the thing.

Malls are the worst when it comes to security theater. Most will check your car's boot for illicit materials when you park. But they won't check the car's interios - you could have anything inside!

You'll usually be frisked at the mall entrance. Women will only get frisked by a female security guard. If the female security guard is absent (pretty common), any female visitor can just walk through without getting frisked.
I would go as far as to say that a little bit of corruption is healthy. It adds flexibility.

For example: you don't want to register your neighbor's daughter for taxes just so that she can babysit your child once or twice. That is crazytalk. And yes, a lot of countries make sure that small payments don't require registration or taxes. This was just a quick example to make the point, sometimes the general law is just not applicable to a local event and it is better that everyone ignores it.

But this is like cholesterol. The right amount in your body makes everything better. Too much and you are in deep trouble.
Not sure, I didn't notice. A lot of airports have a designated smoking room, but I think you're asking about smoking in general.

yes, and that’s why some countries are far friendlier destinations for HQs of global orgs. But even the more privacy friendly countries are (badly) handling huge backlogs, and are far from efficient in enforcing legislation.

Point taken! But they still have to make a solid legal case, otherwise they'll be appealed and end up looking silly.
As I said, this means nothing. It's already the case.
> I wonder if Rust or similar could make the MMU transistors and energy budget redundant.

The MMU does two things:

- shields processes from each other

- creates the illusion that the machine has more memory that in it has

To do away with the former without giving up its benefits, the CPU would, somehow, have to know the code it runs won’t interfere with other processes. It could trust a particular compiler to produce code that’s safe, and rust could provide such a compiler, but then, the CPU would have to prevent Mallory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_and_Bob#Cast_of_characte...) from producing a binary that he claims was created by that rust compiler, but isn’t.

One way would be to make the CPU run that compiler. The CPU then would not be able to run anything else than code compiled by that rust compiler. That may be seen as prohibitive.

Even if it isn’t, the CPU probably would not want to commit to being tied to one particular compiler. Checking that the actual output of the compiler is safe may be easier. That’s one reason why byte codes were invented. They decrease the coupling between programming language and CPU, allowing evolution of a compiler (often even compiler_s_, supporting multiple languages) independent of the byte code.

So, yes, you could use rust for the first item, but you probably don’t want to. Technologies such as the JVM, Microsoft CLR, or WASM are more suited for that kind of stuff.

Also, if you want to give processes the illusion that the machine has more memory that in it has, you would still need a MMU. It could be a bit simpler, but it still would be a MMU.

But the parent comment is right.

The knee jerk reaction against corruption is to centralize power: "X institutions are corrupt, we will give more power to this candidate who demonstrated to be a good person, so he will vanish those institutions and saves us fron corruption".

That's what Bolsonaro did in Brazil. In his campaign, he demonstrated to be a good christian and a person of faith. In Brazil, people strongly associate that with being a good person.

Guess what happened after.

I came to the same conclusion years ago and made myself and "alternate" markdown-like format that superficially looks the same, but has a grammar compatible with parser generators like ANTLR.

Took me about a week to produce something that could generate a nice document object model, and spit out HTML (or anything you please).

The concept is powerful. The specific Markdown implementation however is too messy for proper tooling.

In fact, Canon is going after third party lens manufacturers that are blatantly violating its patent [0].

One of the problems Canon has faced recently is a flooding of the market with super cheap lenses (we're talking 50-200 dollars for total junk). The people that are buying them are justifiably upset when the photos are crap because they incorrectly think its a camera problem. Hey, a lens is a lens, right?

Anyhow, there's wide speculation that Canon will license to the quality quality third-party makers at some point [1][2].

> Controversial opinion: if you don't like websites with ads, don't use websites with ads.

Sure as soon as they stop capturing users and content that would have otherwise been on ad-free sites.

> Otherwise you're breaking the agreement that the people hosting what you want to use have to make a living.

There is no agreement. Someone making a living off it is one of the worst reasons to keep a shitty thing around.

> If you consider ads to be psychological assault or other characterizations like this that I've heard before in this forum, stop going to those websites. You think the people that created what you want to use are bad people, infringing on your rights, why would you still use their stuff?

See the first point. Ad-supported websites still affect you even if you don't use the because they compete with and thus influence what other options are available.

I've heard many variations on that story before, but it was way back in the days of the Cold War and USSR. Apparently when the few Western tourists who ventured to travel on the Trans-Siberian Railway would alight for a temporary stop at a train station somewhere in the middle of no-man's-land they would be mobbed by Russians who would do almost anything to get hold of their jeans (seems many of these tourists left the country with a change of pants).

Bank then, the USSR establishment considered jeans a decadent Western culture and thus they weren't available behind the Iron Curtain except as contraband.
One small note: HDPlex has a 250W GaN PSU which is also fanless and shockingly compact. https://hdplex.com/hdplex-fanless-250w-gan-aio-atx-psu.html it is also moduler and supports chaining. Altogether a very very interesting brand new product.
Yep. Nowhere near. Good chance nobody here sees it in their lifetime.
Some of the things you have mentioned are implemented by some companies. You mentioned Nationwide so I'll provide some anecdote about how with Geico I can manage my policy entirely online, get quotes, print/download docs, summon chat support, etc.

I think a huge differentiator with customers is the support or service a company can provide. This may matter more than the product when the products are pretty common and easily comparable (bank accounts, car insurance, etc.) Something to keep in mind as a lot of people work at startups here and there are countless examples of large companies that provide 0 support and randomly shut down entire products.

> Reputation is a mechanism of self-regulation in free societies, so it's the opposite of authoritarian.

This "reputation" you referred to is nothing more than showing that there are people who have yelled "look, he sides with the enemy!"
Nothing in that article you linked is a substantial refutation of his points. Everything is based on attacking his character merely for associating with countries that certain people don't like.

You may recall that "guilt by association" is certainly not a feature that free societies ought to have.

> Politics is "culture" + all "culture" is good and should be accepted without questioning

That is not the point at all. The point is that political systems cannot be easily changed because culture is enduring, meaning we shouldn't be lured by the fantasy that we can overthrow some dictators and voila we have democracy and everyone lives happily ever after. This should be super-obvious if you look at attempts to drop western-style democracy in the middle east: places are now worse off than before.

Another point is that political systems are complex, partly due to tradition and culture, and they cannot be force-fitted to be ranked on an easy, feel-good "authoritarian vs democracy" scale. This means it's a better idea to deal with those systems by talking and engaging with them, and understanding their nuances and merits, rather than taking a forceful "only my perspective is right and everyone else is wrong" approach.

This message is far more nuanced and constructive than you give him credit for. Your approach, "destroy all whom we deem authoritarian; don't listen to them in any way", has empirically resulted in countless amount of suffering in the past few decades, and has created a large amount of resentment in the global south.

It also doesn't help that many who insist on the "authoritarian vs democracy" frame are also those who align with, or at least fail to distance from, US regime change foreign policy, which is known to overthrow democracies and install dictators as long as those dictators favor US interests, while at the same time spinning such efforts as "spreading democracy and fighting for freedom". At their best, such figures often hyper-focus on "democracy", but turn a blind eye towards countries' inability to develop and inability to solve poverty due to how weak they've become after democracy was installed. All this too has generated a large amount of resentment in the global south.
The way I think of it is that if you are already concerned about the future due to climate change etc., then you are not the target audience for this sort of action.

The whole point I take from it is that it is an attempt to raise awareness through "if you're upset about this, there's no excuse for you not to be upset about that"

If you're already in the loop on climate change and what's ahead of us - yeah, all that's left for you in this act is to be upset about the act itself.

I wish it wasn't necessary do stuff like this, but I am not at all certain anymore that it isn't.

If warning government officials does nothing,
and warning the public does nothing,
and scientists urging for action does nothing,
and presenting reports and articles does nothing,
and hanging up banners and buying ads does nothing,
and protesting in front of government buildings does nothing,
and protesting in front of "big oil" HQs does nothing,
and protesting in the streets does nothing,
and children skipping schools to protest does nothing,
and throughout all this, voting does nothing because there are still not enough people that care enough about these issues, and politicians still take steps to make things worse, what's left to do?

What's the next step?

I don't know anymore. I'm sure others feel the same way, which is why I'm not surprised desperate and hard to reason about acts like this end up happening.
