> planned obsolescence is not always a bad thing

To whom? We now have floating islands of plastic from obsolescent devices. That plastic blender I bought 3 years ago is now in the trash heap. My mother's blender she bought 40 years ago is still going. Obsolescence is terrible for the environment in the entire lifecycle of a product. In my opinion, obsolescence are rarely good for the society, never good for the customer. It is only good for the manufacturer.

> Before Telecommunications deregulation everyone had pretty much the same telephone that was leased from the phone co. It was electromechanical with sizeable transformers and magnets in there. Compare that to the sets that were available after deregulation with miniaturized components.

Just to be clear, are you suggesting that deregulation brought in the "not always bad" obsolescence? I know it brought innovation and customer choice, but can you unpack further how it brought obsolescence?
As remarked by others this is likely so they can kill it off in the near future (in a couple of years) if it is an unmitigated disaster. It’s highly unlikely they’ll make it into a subscription service because the optics could be so bad (“man dies of exposure after Apple declines credit card and disconnects satellite emergency service”).

The fact this was in fish doesn't mean we can't use this as the start of a model in humans. While it isn't a 1:1 correlation, zebrafish make good model organisms in part due to their genetic similarities to humans.

There's obviously flaws with model organisms, as the saying goes "mice lie and monkeys exaggerate" but zebrafish are surprisingly good organisms to study human problems.

I agree that is unlikely, windows will still need to boot itself on NTFS. That said you could probably remap basically everything but what is absolutely necessary onto a zfs filesystem.
Age and gender are the two highest signals that targeted ads take into account. The Facebook growth team has always wanted to remove gathering age / gender from the sign-up flow (which reduces friction to sign up). But, ad targeting would take such a large hit, they could never do so.

It was a huge deal internally when "Custom" was added as a gender option in the sign-up flow, and even then, there's a nudge towards the binary to retain better ad targeting.

In addition to that, companies wants you to acknowledge that you're over 13 so they can be more loosey-goosey with data collection (thanks California!).

This is the inverse of Metcalf's law:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe%27s_law

As you get more and more lines of communication you end up having to break them and create a hierarchy.
Lots of businesses have a front of the house (customer-facing roles) and a back of the house (warehouse, etc.). In the South, many businesses only hired white people in the front of the house, and only hired men in the back. You argue that it's "just common sense," but it was widely accepted that these practices were neither neither racist nor sexist because the business does hire some women (in the front) and some black guys (in the back). But if you were a black woman, you were shit out of luck.

It might be obvious now, but it took intersectional thought for people to begin to acknowledge these less overt forms of discrimination.
Timing the market is impossible, besides selling now would be a good thing if they bought the stock at any point more than 1 month ago. Go look at the stock chart.

Yeah, but the problem is that it often locks you out of the site completely, which they don't tell you until you've answered. And when it doesn't, it often breaks features or locks down your access to content.

IMO, when billing hourly, it should only be focused work. They aren't paying for you to go on lunch, etc. That's for salaried workers. I'm not saying don't go on lunch, I'm just saying you can't charge for that in good faith.

In a single day, you should target 5/6 hours of billable work. The extra 2-3 hours are for lunch, and other management type work you need to do to keep your freelance business afloat.

Btw, not to be a broken record, but you should try charging either by the day or by the project. It's just more security and takes the pressure off of needing to justify every individual hour spent.

Another tidbit of advice: use https://contractrates.fyi to figure out what you should be charging by the hour. A solid chance that you are undercharging.

In Germany, I bought mine from lensbest

Not sure if they are high quality. When I compared sites a few years ago, they were the cheapest

I am really troubled with the cylinder for my astigmatism. Many sites only sell glasses with 2.5 cylinder. Lensbest sold 3 diopter cylinders. The eye scanner at the optometrist said I need a 3.75 diopter cylinder. Although the optometrist said, I still get full vision with 3 diopter.

I wanted to buy cylinder-only glasses for computer work. Because my normal glasses also have spherical component against nearsightedness, but the screen is near enough that I can see everything without that and the correction is only causing eyestrain. But I cannot buy them. The cylinder is too high for the sites, and the local optician said I do not need such glasses

I've had a few situations skiing at resorts where I was just a bit off-piste and found myself struggling through waist-deep powder. In the dense trees and snow it can be very difficult to see and hear even a small distance away. Add an injury to the mix and it's trouble. I would never consider buying a standalone satellite communicator device for this but having one on my phone is an awesome value add for me.

As someone else said "The best camera is the one you have with you". Same is true for satellite communicators.
How correct. I pumped my entire two-hour’s worth of lifesaving into Bitcoin and hardware for a cold-wallet and now, I have 23 minutes worth.

I had a tip calculator back then but it was a dashboard widget for OS X rather than an iPhone app which I just made for personal use. It never occurred to me to try to make an iPhone app out of it, and I was actually looking for an idea just to have an excuse to try iPhone programming.

I know there were already many tip calculators even back then, and they were maybe fine for tips in general like when you are at a restaurant, but I never saw one except for mine that worked well for the most important case: figuring out how much to tip the pizza delivery guy when you are paying in cash.

Say your pizza comes to $16.23. If you usually tip 15% a normal tip calculator tells you that is $2.43 and the total would be $18.66. But who the heck is going to try to pay exactly $18.66 when their are standing in the open door with their home's precious heat leaking into the cold winter night? Same with handing him $20 and waiting for him to count out $1.34 in change.

What most sane people are going to do is hand him $19 and say "keep the change", or hand him $20 and say "keep the change", or hand him $20 and say "give me $1 back".

With my calculator you would enter the $16.23 price, and the calculator would give you a table something like this:

Pay Tip
$17 4.7%
$18 10.9%
$19 17.1%
$20 23.2%
$21 29.4%

You can then easily combine that with your tipping level goal, tipping limit, and the mix of bills in your wallet to figure out what to do to leave an acceptable tip while still having a quick transaction.
I switched my personal laptop (Dell XPS 17) from Ubuntu to Fedora about a year ago and have been pleased. The GPU situation is more polished, suspend and resume works with less quirks, and I like the more recent versions of upstream software. I’ve also been feeling pessimistic about Ubuntu’s general direction and Snaps in particular.

Of course, since it's off-chain it sort of defeats the purpose of bitcoin, right?
"the study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable.

the original Processing textbook:
https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262028288/

I don't know if the code is still executable with current Processing, but this book enabled me to finally start my own self-learning coding journey. It's basically a visual introduction to programming.

10 years ago I was figuring out what to do with my life, knew that I liked the idea of coding, but had found the Comp Sci curriculum at my college a bad fit at the time, and disheartening.

I finally took this book on my own, and spent a bit of time every morning.

The emphasis on design set it apart from so much of the other material I was coming across in trying to get started.
My point exactly; people really like to equate "unscientific" with "turned out to be wrong". Chemistry is such a huge field that it's a small miracle we managed to figure out at all, no small thanks to Boyle who actually introduced the very concept of chemical elements.
That's just how money works, isn't it? When you buy something from Amazon, Jeff uses a lot of it to destroy governments and cities. When you fill up at the gas station, Shell uses it to lobby against climate policy. When you donate something to even the best most amazingest nonprofit, their employees get paid, and then spend the money on the dark causes they care about that you may not.
I have to back out of my driveway in a 2021 Ford Explorer on a fairly busy street. I am typically very cautious because there are parked cars along the street obstructing visibility and you have to be real careful backing out. Even with this heightened caution level, one time I missed a small, gray car that happened to be perfectly obstructed by the rear left pillar as I elected to back out. The "collision avoidance autobraking" kicked on and definitely saved an accident. I may get false positives now and then, but that one instance of a saved accident makes up for all the random quirks as the manufacturers work to improve these systems. I'm a believer.

Not arguing that you’re wrong, but as a (counter / data)-point, both me and my friend were… relieved (for lack of a better word) when the convention of referring to things as master / slave in computing changed to primary / replica, etc. We are both from one of the countries where the slave trade was most active. It wasn’t something we would complain about out loud, it did not affect our work or productivity in any way. In fact we would have been content / happy to continue using the previous names. But it still felt good / noteworthy to not have to see them continuously, all day long. So sometimes providing that kind of context, or changing names of things to make everyone more comfortable, is a small thing but much appreciated by the minorities involved. I’m not sure it’s necessary to take it to the extent that you’re facing however :)

This is literally just describing him, and none of it is generous. I'm not sure why you don't see that but okay. He sounds like a complete idiot according to every single thing you quoted. Is the Times supposed to say "SBF, a complete idiot, thought he would have trouble sleeping, but doesn't"

Assuming that the Mr Wang is Yue-Sheng Wang; Their suspect has published 59 articles according to Scopus and 31 are without affiliation to Hydro-Québec. I would hope that publications alone would be a problem, but maybe they point at possible sharing of data etc. in a way that could fall under espionage - who knows.

I work with documenting scientific publications and I have seen a lot of wonky affiliations used. Its surprising who many researchers don't understand their own affiliations correctly, at least as seen by the institutions that pay their wages. That being using co-authors affiliation, imagined or misunderstood affiliations (yeah our informal work-group is definitely a department!), or even something more obscure (A professor publishing his whole career from university X even though he hasn't been affiliated since his postdoc 25 years ago. Due to pride I guess?). Another issue is co-authors not knowing each others True® affiliation, and ending up getting the wrong addresses in the final publication. And so on and so on. Some researchers seem to feel such details are trivial.

Just another example how bureaucratic control butts heads with the actually way scientists work.

It is surprisingly good and surprisingly bad at the same time. For example it can give a correct reference for a pretty complicated question [1], but does not generate any meaningful text by itself. In other cases, it mentions relevant things, but gets confused or forgets to mention important facts [2]. Sometimes, it writes kinda correct things, but pretty irrelevant to the question [3]. Other times it generates wikipedia-like intro without getting to the point [4]

The information about a loan from was taken from the NYT interview [0]:

> Meanwhile, at a meeting with Alameda employees on Wednesday, Ms. Ellison explained what had caused the collapse, according to a person familiar with the matter. Her voice shaking, she apologized, saying she had let the group down. Over recent months, she said, Alameda had taken out loans and used the money to make venture capital investments, among other expenditures.

> Around the time the crypto market crashed this spring, Ms. Ellison explained, lenders moved to recall those loans, the person familiar with the meeting said. But the funds that Alameda had spent were no longer easily available, so the company used FTX customer funds to make the payments. Besides her and Mr. Bankman-Fried, she said, two other people knew about the arrangement: Mr. Singh and Mr. Wang.

Changing lanes is called changing lanes, not turning. They're inherently different maneuvers.

Either way, if you are rapidly closing the distance to a car which is changing lanes, you don't know for certain they won't cancel the maneuver and go back to being in the lane. You're still assuming that, and assuming you'll be able to slow or stop fast enough to handle it.

If your AEB is constantly getting "false" alarms, maybe it is not the AEB that needs adjustment. Maybe driving in a fashion where the car's AEB doesn't constantly give "false" alarms would be a lot safer.
