Maybe if it was a maglev and a completely evacuated tube, but if you could do that you might as well do it on the surface which would be orders of magnitude easier and travel at whatever speed you want for hardly any energy input (as you'd get it back from regenerative breaking at the other end)
It's been in closed beta for a couple years now IIRC. His approach is very different from what's prevalent in the industry today - he prefers to only release a product that's reasonably well done, instead of frustrating his audience with a buggy moving target. That's why the language is in its seventh/eight year of closed development at this point.
As much as I don't like Musk, I think there is a good proposition for the YouTube-model of paying for an ad-free experience. However, aside that YouTube is a place with much better content, YouTube costs ~$5/monthly and is actually ad-free instead of half ad-free. How one can think this is a good idea is beyond me

I do sympathize with users who have to distinguish between the kind of brokenness that warrants returning the phone, and the kind of brokenness which is simply the norm in this space.
Pretty much what people told users. In the end it would get more expensive for them. Many didn't listen and now it is more expensive for everyone.

Not that I believe that software maintenance isn't real and it needs a model to be financed or that subscriptions are always a bad deal. I still am angry at the people that thought their subscription would save them money. I just dislike their naivete because it is so expensive and not only for themselves.

Same is true if you invest in closed or many cloud systems. It didn't become less work either and the knowledge investment and product dependency is significant too.
China and the US have already committed to take no serious action. Here in the UK we have the same policy. The EU prevaricates (who can blame them). India also isn't planning to do anything. COP27 is a giant waste of time with champagne.

Where are you getting that most users have an account on "every" instance? I've been on Mastodon for several years, and this isn't my experience at all.

Right now Mastodon is a bit weird; all the servers are overloaded and everyone is talking about twitter. But in a few months I think it will go back to being a nice social network.

I'm always a bit amused at these kinds of posts, as if twitter has to fail for Mastodon to be successful. For a lot of people Mastodon is already good, and has been for some years.
Not only that, unless you constantly change gloves they provide little protection since you can still touch multiple people and touch your face with gloves on.
You lose some of the sound of the speaker cone breaking up at high volumes.

Something else to try: enclose the speaker cabinet in an insulated wooden box with a mic (SM57 will do), and add insulated connections connections for the mic out and the amp head in. Keeping the head outside of the box is a good idea because of heat.

It's the only real way to crank a guitar amp without disturbing neighbors and cohabitants.

That article is bullshit and FUD (as its subheading seems to acknowledge). No data is sent back to matrix.org if you selfhost (unless you point your config at matrix.org, obviously).
I can see members of Twitter being okay with tweeting but not with tooting. Black Twitter for instance has a lot of cultural slang that works and Interlopes with the “Bird App”. I can personally only seeing “tooting” and the whale being nothing but flame material that will further hurt it’s brand and this adoption.

It does not take hundreds of exposures. That is impractical and above all not a good idea. In low light the shutter speed is likely slow (1/10th of a second for a example). Even 16 frames is more than a seconds worth of frames. At that point the differences start to become too high for stacking to be worthwhile, especially because it is hand held. Secondly, the reduction of noise by merging is at best the sqrt (number of frames). Past even 12 frames the benefits start to be questionable.

AI capability is destroying human enjoyment of activities because it also destroys the economic rationale for engaging in them and/or allows other humans to cheat.

The obvious conclusion of this position is that we should just all kill ourselves if strong AI ever starts to exists. No, thank you, I'd rather do everything possible to prevent it from being created.

One thing I always struggle with is that phone becomes painfully slow and heats up like crazy on a call. The one thing it should do without effort seems like the heavier one on the hardware. Wonder how they managed to do phone calls 20-30 years ago if it's such a compute intensive task.

“ In his three-and-a-half-hour political report to the Party’s 2,300 top officials, Xi laid out a vision for China to lead the world in everything from science and technology, to modern weaponry and military might, to providing a model of economic development and governance for other countries to follow.”

I live in a 95sqm apartment in the city for 26万/m, and I'm in an expensive area. When I was looking for apartments, I found lots of 60+sqm apartments for <20万/m even in some of the pricer areas. For standalone houses, you can find plenty of 70+sqm houses for purchase at ~5000万, which would have a mortgage of around 15万 a month.

It's important to note that you can get a mortgage at a rate somewhere between 0.6-1.6%, which means that even for seemingly high prices, you can buy something and have a surprisingly low mortgage cost.
Nothing is absolute. There are observations that are more objective than others and those that are plain objective. We can discuss the definition of it, but it wouldn't be that fruitful, objectively.

Your statement would ultimately be an oxymoron too.
More money only helps up to a point. Eventually most people prefer better quality of life over more money.

And that's the problem: it's inherently an undesirable job. Personally, I wouldn't want that job for any amount of money. How about you?
To be fair, it's not like the US didn't engage in heavy industrial espionage in Europe during the industrial revolution.

We tend to forget this since the US came into its own as an industrial power generations ago, long before China did. While China's form of government is quite different than most Western governments, in a way that gives them a reputation of being isolationist and secretive, that doesn't mean their path to technological advancement has been any more dishonest than that of other nations.

Put another way, we frown on China's technological espionage so much because we view them as an enemy from a government & "values" perspective, not because "we" have cleaner hands. I personally would prefer that China didn't have all the latest tech capabilities because I don't like the idea of increasing the global influence of authoritarian nations, but if China had a non-isolationist democracy, I might not be so upset about this.

The city health bureau said guests all tested negative and were allowed to leave by 8:30 p.m., but one visitor from elsewhere in China told the Reuters news agency she didn't make it out until 10 p.m.".

One thing I think is missed from these kinds of back of the napkin calculations is all the bizarre thermodynamic side-effects you'd encounter if you were somehow able to drill an actual hole through the core without it collapsing. I imagine the convection currents would be extreme.

Not to mention how the pressure in the centre of the earth is extreme because of the weight of the rock itself. When you have a hypothetical uncollapsible hole, you're explicitly removing the vast majority of that pressure. I'd be curious to know how those actual values work out for a "giant chimney" model though.
What makes you believe that localization has the a low bang for your buck return?
That's right. So the "cultural difference" you were referring to is the capacity to commit horrendous atrocities against basic civil rights that the West is too benevolent to grasp. You just used the words "expunging basic civil rights" and "atrocities" instead of "evil." You're one step further in the logical progression than the people you were annoyed with in your first reply to me.

This unfolding progression is why we cannot take people at face value about what they "really mean." People don't know what they mean! See below: "I honestly couldn't imagine people in the West putting up with that, however I'm yet to fully understand why Chinese people continue to suffer the rules without riot." See? They don't understand it. Why not? What is being repressed, that their conscious could form these highly abstract and grammatically correct sentences, but yet they don't know from whence they came?
Which was controversial in my country from the onset, and which has recently become even more controversial when it was revealed that Pfizer didn't actually test for transmission prevention in their product.

There's a tax savings thing that companies do, where the lease is done in their name, and your rent is deducted from your paycheck. It's beneficial for both you and the employer, so it's pretty common.

Had the same reminder when I changed jobs (in MA) ages ago. That reminder went to me and to the general counsel of my new employer.

Regarding your mention of product searches, I feel the need to point out “consumer reports”. They don’t review everything, but they’ve never let me down with what they have reviewed. They have an objective process that’s motivated by you $25.00 per year subscription. It’s neat how they’ll go out of their way to develop innovative tests for random items (3d printing parts to make the test possible, etc.).

I have my own algorithm for parsing amazon results for everything else, and it halfway works. For the big ticket items, and some random stuff everybody needs, consumer reports is good. Any time that I can afford the number one item from a category, it’s never let me down.
How to End Suffering with Meditation

My hypothesis is this attitude is one reason for the US’s economic success.

You can have some immigrant like Elon Musk tweet insults to the president and people complain but nothing happens. You can have companies create new businesses directly in violation of laws (Uber, AirBnB). There are very few sacred cows and we tend to root for the underdog.

From living in Asia, deference plays a big role in social relations - deference to parents, deference to elders and definitely deference to authority/government. And it’s often not for a rational reason but just because “you should respect your elders”.

I hear lots of people say it’s “well they are more group oriented and think about what’s best for everyone” but one look at the piles of trash randomly dropped or people shoving to the front of lines makes me think it’s not that.

It’s more of acceptance that what the government says is how it will be. They’ll bitch about it, happily break rules if they can get away with it, but if the government comes in and says “dont do that or you’ll be punished” they won’t push back and will defer to the governments authority.

Huh. Weird, it's definitely moved the overton window a ton where I am and I'm glad of it. It's totally normal and nobody cares one way or the other as far as I've noticed. It's nice to be able to mask up without any feeling of stigma about it. Masking up just sort of seems like the altruistic move on public transit and the like, this was true before covid, esp during flu season, and I always felt a little embarrassed for our society that it wasn't considered normal.
That was a pretty great summary
The problem is they've been aware of this very serious bug for more than a year, and haven't tried informing their users. So "Protonmail" in this context refers to the business, and the issues surrounding their responsibility, competence and ethics.
When you're on speaker, most platforms have a noise cancelling algorithm to prevent Larsen loops between mic and speaker. Using headphones usually disables it.

> Although I'm a bit bummed out because all sql syntax has been striped out, which makes sense, since we are no longer dealing with just sql here.

Yes, we are hoping to add support for SQL as well, but we need to intermediate the API calls for a bunch of interesting features.

> I got one question though, I see the api calls for migrations, but is there a step by step guide on how we can actually do a migration?

We don't have docs for yet, but it's a UI driven process which resembles GitHub PRs, so it should be pretty straightforward.
Are you saying that the CCP just wants to lock up people for the perverse pleasure of having random people locked up?

Regimes lock up particular people when particular people are a threat. They may lock people up unnecessarily just to err on the side of caution. But if they overdo it it can backfire. So far the main reason I hear from Chinese people to criticize Xi and the CCP is mostly about COVID and lockdowns, and never for any of the reasons westerners point the finger against the regime
What is this "green button" of which you speak? And how do you "punch in" numbers, don't you mean spin the dial?
To clarify because comments (so far) seem to ignore what Proton Bridge does.

Proton Mail is web mail, like Gmail. That part is fine.

You use Proton Bridge as a connector to mail client software.

The thing that’s perhaps unclear is, Proton Mail is end-to-end encrypted email. You use Proton Bridge to walk your secure email beyond that enclave into whatever YOU are running in your userland scenario.

Part of all this is, you’re completely unclear on the concept of secure email the moment you need to use this bridge.

Which begs the question, why would you use Proton Mail if you’re gonna negate its unique value proposition?

Proton Mail is fine. It’s this misguided extension that’s the problem here.

If you’re fine with web mail then this issue doesn’t matter. If you’re not fine with web mail, maybe Proton Mail isn’t really for you.

My father's phone had the same problem (some HTC abomination), but with the mute button rather than the end call button. I'm not sure if it was due to cheek contact with the screen or some gyro sensor thinking that the phone was flipped upside down, but during a call the phone would randomly mute its microphone.
