> I wouldn't build killing tools casually despite having, as most engineers here do

No, most engineers here are perfectly fine building highly addictive apps that are only slightly removed from slot machines and targeting them at children.

> The concept itself is not novel

Actually building it is very novel.

> It's explosive charges strapped to an helmet with a detonator

That is triggered when you lose a video game.

> the form is not particularly appealing or interesting

Given the amount of engagement and discussion it's generating I think you are clearly wrong.
What's the source for lower build quality of Samsung's Indian made handsets?
Ah yes, "Everyone is an idiot except the fuckers who do the same shit I do"
With SONAR, the transmitted sound source is also being received at the same point which allows for the intended measurement. This generalizes that method to a source being captured by a sink in any point in the predefined 3D space. I’d say it’s far more flexible as an emerging technology that sticking with something like SONAR which is primarily used for water-specific applications.
No one should listen to this pyramid scheme pushing scammer
I'm sorry I wasn't aware this we are doing is to be taken and done with the scientific pulchritude of a peer-reviewed journal.

This is obviously an informal conversation and I've clearly stated in my comment that "I've seen" a different situation "in many social contexts". Which I, again, informally generalize into a phenomenon I consider common enough to be mentioned.

I do not intend to provide you with statistical backing for what amounts to, again, clearly obviously anecdotal evidence.

In short: Jesus, if you disagree or have a different experience, it's OK, let me know, no need to go straight into a formal semantics discussion.
Because unlike the Nervegear people would actually know what they are getting themselves into and would understand the consequences ahead of time.
I appreciate your perspective. My experience teaching comes from tutoring accelerated high school students in a 1 on 1 environment at home or at the library, and I have been doing that for some 8+ years. Very few of my students need me to ask them to refocus. I can count on my hands the number of times I have had to address cellphone usage while teaching. In most situations my cell phone is being used as a ti89 using an emulator. Even when I know my student doesn't pay attention in school, they pay attention to me teaching the same topic. They pay attention even while sitting among friends in a library and they don't talk during exercises. My laptop is always open so I can quickly pull up some resources while teaching.

Maybe the difference between a typical classroom and my tutoring sessions is a student feels some sort of intrinsic motivation to be there and pay attention. Once the student has an understanding in the value of paying attention and actively chooses to pay attention, they are naturally able to have self control.

I appreciate you pushing calculator literacy. My school district is old school in both technology and methods. I know teachers that actively encourage using a ti84 over 89, so most people don't touch a real CAS. My go to party trick is still the solve() fuction. We have a very strong CS program, we have honors weighted classes in data structures, mobile development, and game development which has AP CS as a prereq. We also have AP weight classes for Multivar Calc, Linear Algebra and DifEQ which all come after AP Calc BC. The students are smart but the calculator literacy is just not there.

I think Excel literacy is the perfect bridge for getting students to start using database logic without a database. Index/match or vlookup are just constrained database queries. Once a student is able to connect their calculator CAS knowledge to excel, there are very few excel sheets they will come across that they won't understand. We have basic excel literacy because most AP science teachers expect typed lab reports, the exception is chem lab notebooks, there's usually one lab where there's some stat analysis and every lab requires some sort of graph. To me excel is the next logical step after mastering a calculator CAS.

Justices also have domestic bank accounts.

Do other powers have to make these promises? Does anyone pester Rishi Sunak for guarantees they won't he won't try to retake Massachusetts?

It feels like any sort of restrictive foreign-policy promise is a no-win. A "no invasion" promise would be a license for every seperatist element to push their agenda, which feels like losing a huge amount of influence. It also seems like it could tie their hands in an actual crisis (i. e. a terrorism scenario where the Taiwanese government refused to cooperate in investigation/prosecution)
Indeed, I would have agreed 200% with the following: "In Europe Apple stuff costs much more, relative to income."

But I've read so many times (on French forums) people argue that Apple is overcharging EU citizens by forgetting to adjust for sales taxes that I defaulted to interpret "In Europe Apple stuff costs much more" that way.

In a way it makes sense, in France what you see is what you get, so the typical French consumer expects the sticker price on the US Apple Store to be the final price. In fact it's the law: in France you have to honor the sticker price, even if it's wrong (unless it's an obvious mistake, but the bar for obvious mistake is quite high).
The one defence I can think of is that keeping it tied to apple devices means they can ban spammers more effectively since there is a real cost to getting back on the network.
It could have been as simple as (1) acquiring WhatsApp and (2) instructing every other product division at Google to not even think about developing or launching messaging apps from now on. But yes, knowing Google chances are that they would have managed to screw it up.

> trying to be a separate currency.

None of the serious crypto projects I am aware of (which are Bitcoin, Ethererum and its L2's basically) claim to be a currency. Bitcoin is an asset. ETH is a currency only for the ETH ecosystem and does not claim to be something along the lines of a popular definition of currency.
It's not ideological. All you have to do is look at the results. Lending people money for college led to huge increases in tuition.
Some thoughts:

- Are speed limits a factor? Seems like limits are slower in other countries.

- Lack of standard equipment? LED headlights (properly aligned), automatic headlights, automatic wipers, parking sensors?

- Ease of getting a license and lack of consistent training? For example passing a driving license test in UK is much harder than US.
In 2024 there are new laws set to come into effect allowing pedal-less light electric vehicles in Japan. The rules include not requiring a helmet, not requiring a licence, no under 16s and a max speed of 20kph.

It will be interesting to see how this affects the 50cc and below vehicle class, which require helmets, have a speed limit of 30kph (somewhat enforced, often broken) and are required to make a two-step right turn on larger junctions.

It might be good timing to re-assess the rules for 50cc vehicles. Driving at 30kph while traffic is going past you at double the speed is more dangerous than moving with traffic. Differential speed limits have been shown to be unsafe and modern 50cc scooters can keep up with all but the fastest city traffic.
The evidence says otherwise. “Even if someone loses weight, they will always need fewer calories and need to exercise more,” says Skinner. “So we’re putting people through something we know will probably not be successful anyway. Who knows what we’re doing to their metabolisms.”

Well yes they will need to eat fewer calories to prevent themselves from gaining even more weight. If they're eating too many chocolate bars and soft drinks then yes they may need to eat less of those.

For me, I've never understood dieting, I'm not going to be dieting for the rest of my life, so why would I do it now? How about I just be conscious of the foods I'm eating, exercise more and eat less junk and focus on cooking my own meals. A lot of people don't actually realise the caloric density of the foods they're eating.

If you have a desk job you need to do some form of consistent exercise. Doesn't have to be lots, doesn't have to be overly intensive. But if you don't and you also eat too many high calorie foods you will gain and continue to gain weight.
> So Google releases features without planning?

Or they release them at a faster cadence, which was the point of the quoted portion of the emails. That doesn't mean no planning.

EDIT: Actually, I reread your comment and have no idea what you're getting at. Why do you think I'm suggesting Google has no planning?
This concern goes beyond just semis too. Transportation means trains and ships as well.
It looks like a very scaled down processor embedded in the memory chip that can do some very basic logic (AND, OR, XOR) over a range of memory.
The Nexo and Mirai are hydrogen cars on roads today. What about hydrogen volumetric density causes problems for them?

The sudden inventory shortage was due to the pandemic. Many people took their houses off the market in order to wait and see how things were going to play out. Hiring slowed down as well and many that did change jobs went to remote jobs. You don't usually have a reason to move if you don't have a job change. Then of course lots of people working from home caused more demand for homes as those in smaller apartments or houses decided they needed to upgrade.
Sure, I agree, I use an iPhone myself.

But I do agree because I'm very tied to the ecosystem, I use lots of Apple products, the whole experience is worth it.

For your usual non-tech professional using your typical five free social media apps, taking a couple pics for Instagram and doing a few calls? I don't think it's worth the extra $8. Better get coffee.
By similar standards, the French Fifth Republic has been at war for ~98% of its history.

I believe they are trying to clarify if this code is only for the 'downloading' portion of a BitTorrent client. It does not seem have any code for handling requests for pieces coming from other peers.

I don't think anyone can make claims like this, lots of people made the right decision by not buying into an inflated market with job instability around the corner.
I think the correction is needed, any people who didn't overextend will be fine if they intend to stay put for 5-15 years.

The death of fun on display.
If HFC vehicles ever become mainstream, hydrogen is going to have to be produced on-site at filling stations. Hydrogen is extremely difficult and dangerous to transport. If you try to use pipes, the hydrogen will be able to leak out of even the smallest of cracks, and can even diffuse through metals. It's extremely difficult to compress and becomes a serious explosion hazard.

I'm somewhat optimistic that HFC will play a role in the future of transportation, but there are still a lot of issues that need to be ironed out.
I do think that the way certain people live can be improved, look at the carbon use of rich people in the USA compared to the average person in other countries. Larger houses, cars, more of everything, it all adds up.
There is no "the way to solve climate change" anyway. It's a challenge so huge that it will require us to change something about everything we do and the way we do it.

You can manipulate data to show whatever you want. The incentive structures within the company are to blame.

Edit: Limp leadership is also to blame. Probably some other things too?
Sure, I won’t deny that there’s a blue/green bubble issue in the same way that people have issues with any friction point. This is the same as if one set of friends are on WhatsApp and another set are on telegram etc… and having to deal with either switching between apps or dealing with reduced capabilities.

However the initial person I was replying to was talking about judgements regarding the device itself and as a whole, not just messaging friction
But that's not how it works, having Standard time in early October would actually help with reaching school with natural light in more cases and have why did they hose to have one month less of this effect on only one side of the curve.

Why not start with Summer Time in February then already.

It's that assymetry that irks me most. [1]

My question is more with the rationale of 1940s UK [2] (other than to confuse the Germans), where this habit with late October date and 5/7 months started.
While the rest of Europe had a September date and 6/6 up to 1996.

Another excellent example of this was Starship Troopers. There were those that 'got it' and those that did not [1]. The one critical thing about subtlety versus overtness is that the former may be understood by a smaller chunk of your audience than the latter, but it will tend to leave a far greater impression. A point lost on much of contemporary Western media.

tab stops is still available in terminals. Tab in terminal move the cursor to next x*8(depends on setting) position independent of what character you input before.

But a major flaw is that it only works when your cell has less than 8 characters. Or it will go to the wrong stop. Which isn't that common today.

Because why insist in short names and 80 width character limit? Almost everyone have a screen that can fit hundreds of characters per line today.

I feel like that's the most common time for you to satire a culture. You know all the intimate details.
People dislike Apple intentionally making interoperability between platforms worse (something that hurts users of both platforms) in order to make money of network effects.

They are hurting inter platform communication by encouraging people to use the only messaging app on the market that isn't multiplatform.

Secondly they intentionally provide a bad experience (like low res images and video) when people do try to communicate by text.

TFA is the most direct example that this is entirely according to their plan.

I think it's fair that many people dislike this.
When the economy dies, so do people. Job losses lead to excess deaths associated with substance abuse and suicide, with knock-on effects.
Right. Just as with the space debris, it should be illegal and prosecuted but it's quite unlikely to actually kill someone when only performed a few times. It's the habit you have to prevent.
I absolutely would. This is Andy Kaufman level comedy, which isn't to everyone's tastes, but does get under one's skin.

In this particular case, it's specifically designed to make you VERY uncomfortable, to show what could be if we're not vigilant. Pushing it in peoples faces makes it into a kind of inoculation, hopefully preventing it from actually happening.

As for the industry the author is in, this kind of product wouldn't even fit into a defense company's line. Defense companies produce products to neutralize an enemy, something for which an exploding headset would fall laughably short (maybe as a James Bond style assassination device?). A product like this would be more in line with a police/prison equipment supplier (for coercing people already under your physical control).
Consider me still dubious. A 25 year old to 35 year old, starting from $0 with annual contributions of $12k in a 100% stock vs mixed 50% stock and others, I would bet 9 times out of 10 on the full stock.

I would have to see some models to contrast, but I still suspect that given the timeline, the stock heavy portfolio is going to outperform if only because of DCA.
Robert Kiyosaki has also never released any audited records of his "investments". I suspect he exaggerated much of his success to sell books. Basically just another grifter.

What ever the metaverse turns out to be Zuckerberg will own a big chuck of it and it will super hard for anyone to produce a competitor product given the cost and time requirements.

People will probably start by using it sparingly and giving enough time, one generation, people will make it part of their life.

It's not a waste of money. Meta is probably the only company that can go deep into metaverse development. All other companies don't have the money or their Board of directors and stockholders would find a way to stop it.
Oh yea ok I think you're right about the hotels.

The problem of FreeBSD adoption is not really for the FreeBSD folks to solve. Fashionable, popular packages have made the explicit decision to avoid BSD support. Over the years I've run into issues with things like Node, Elixir, Visual Studio Code (or any electron app really), Python (Conda) being lax or hostile to supporting anything other than Linux/Mac/Windows.

For config management all of the usual suspects should work and all will be painful to scale in non-FreeBSD specific ways. The Opscode related nightmares finally subsided sometime during the pandemic. Was there a specific package you had trouble with?
Bitcoin has taught me that people have all sorts of irrational, fanciful and sometimes delusional feelings about money without really understanding what it is.

I am extrapolating from my own experience. I believe you are right in the sense that most people don't really care, not in the EU and neither in the US.

However I have seen first hand the Android prejudice, to call it something, in the US. And I've never seen it in the EU, where I've spent the majority of my time lately.

And, conversely, I've seen plenty of prejudice against iOS in a many varied (but not all, of course) social contexts across the EU.

But yes, definitely, it's anecdotal evidence based on my own experience.

There are also opportunity costs and non-monetary costs.

For example the EU subsidized and encouraged diesel engined cars greatly, to reduce CO2 emissions, but the increase in diesel pollutants, other than CO2, over and beyond that of gasoline engined cars, likely decreased average health in urban areas.

Now with Euro 6 they are correcting the problem but the damage has already been done to at least one generation.

> what is being satirized here?

All the people that ask him if he's building SAO. The joke here is he's taking them extremely literally, interpreting them as wanting the thing in the show accurately. Willful misinterpretation. But people are really asking for all the good parts and none of the bad parts. So he's actively making fun of them while reminding them the plot thesis of the show and how horrific it is. Look at all the people here who took the author's (pretty obvious) satire extremely literally too.
