Repairing many TV faults like bad caps or bad LEDs is not that expensive compared to TV repairs in the past. It just makes sense to pay a couple hours of labor on a TV in 1960, but it doesn’t in 2022. The TVs today aren’t worth paying the labor to fix them. The labor is more than the price of a new TV.
I think you may be over complicating this. It’s not one giant network of users like Twitter. It’s individual servers who know how to communicate with some specified protocol - just like email.

How “findable” is your email address? Are there isolated pockets of e-mail that you can maybe even see from a distance, but can’t communicate with them?

Heh. If only I had the budget for that. No, but the API I was using earlier was checking for truly available domains, but I got quickly rate-limited by that one. With the new api I get "available" even if it costs a house to buy it.

I'll try to add some additional checks and differentiate naked domains and expensive ones.
I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure there were wide exchanges of peoples happened thousands of years earlier (eg. stonehenge burials came from a wide range of europe - this from memory).

<<

The ancestors of the people who built Stonehenge travelled west across the Mediterranean before reaching Britain, a study has shown.

Researchers compared DNA extracted from Neolithic human remains found across Britain with that of people alive at the same time in Europe.

The Neolithic inhabitants were descended from populations originating in Anatolia (modern Turkey) that moved to Iberia before heading north.

They reached Britain in about 4,000BC.

Details have been published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.

The migration to Britain was just one part of a general, massive expansion of people out of Anatolia in 6,000BC that introduced farming to Europe

> The current CMake language is fine. Nothing amazing, but good enough.

Lol CMake was a huge reason I got out of C++ development almost a decade ago. I was tired of scripting my own shitty build systems, especially ones which couldn't even manage packages. I never actually need the power CMake offers, but the stuff I do need (reproducible package management) CMake punted on. 99.9% of the time, all you need is a build tool that takes a list of dependencies and a lockfile (or similar).

My son took a coding class in elementary school (MIT scratch), and he came in one day and told his teacher that his Dad was a "pro programmer" and had helped him. The program was a pigeon farting on a man's head. The teacher asked what Dad had helped with, and he said "he recorded the fart sound".
Tether allows USDT to be redeemed for USD.

It is only allowed for verified customers --- those with $100,000 or more to redeem. This severely limits any exposure to a bank run.

If Tether was minting unbacked USDT, then Tether would eventually be shown to be insolvent.

By whom? Lots of people think it's always been insolvent. Can you prove it's not?

executing a pump and dump scheme is a lot of work and very risky for very little reward with such expensive, highly traded asset like BTC.

When you have control and influence over both the pump and the dump, it's easy. And price is pretty irrelevant when you can just mint money and "loan" it to select others (aka "whales") so they can participate.

own coins to customers rather than selling them for hard currency upfront.
> better in the past

First you have to define what better means, before you can try to make it better again. What you just said boils down to "make it more expensive, again, in the future"

My mom's first VHS player got repaired when it broke. On a new equivalent it would probably get chucked. Sounds terrible? Her first VHS player cost $700. In the early 80s! That would be absurd in todays money much less back then, of course that bad boy got repaired when it broke.

Same goes for things like washers and dryers. Nostalgic memories of how back in the 60s they were built like tanks. Of course they were, they cost the same price then as they do now, not adjusted for inflation. Spend that kind of money on a washer today and it will be built like a tank.

Would you say the same thing about seatbelts in a car? I just can't figure out how to wrap my mind around not taking a trip if you need safety gear with one mode of transportation and not another.

Fully agree about it should be each person's individual decision.

And nice to run into another cyclist on this site!!

Well, there is nothing organic on the moon, so you can't build with wood, don't have the oil and tar used in material like asphalt and roofing bases. There also isn't any oxygen for producing the fire that would be needed for smelting and what not. You need water for concrete. There is water on the moon, but it's not flowing or nearly as accessible as the water on Earth. It's largely bound up in ice at the poles. The moon is also lacking minerals that contain water as part of their own structure, like clay, which is a common construction material.
Don't mind the "wet putty" look specifically as much as I hate the related lack of color available on cars these days. What happened that made everyone want bland, boring colors on everything? Liven up, people!
I'm not sure that's true. You can map these URIs, params and all, to static files behind the httpd. Nothing is forcing anyone into running a dynamic application. Even if you don't want to map characters, all the param characters are valid in unix filenames.

They have anti-stalking features (little notifications that say "The owner of this Airtag can see your location."). You can also trigger the airtag to play a sound if it's in your vicinity I believe.

Ultimately, any device with location services will eventually be used this way. Even if it's cost-prohibitive now, you can definitely buy 5-year-old smartphones for the same purpose. This feels like something that you can't expect Apple to solve more than they already have, and needs to be handled by law enforcement.
>Because back then a TV cost an arm and a leg and they broke more often. Being maintainable was a requirement for the initial sale.

Mods!

You can have mods that warn you of incoming raids. Mods that add point defense laser turrets, suck it enemy artillery! Mods that add magic, so you can send your fire mage out to huck a fireball the enemy siege outpost and cook off their ammo, or call down a firestorm and watch the chaos. Mods that make tamed animals rideable so you can root out their artillerymen with a cavalry charge. Mods that add drop ships and bombing runs so you can counterbattery them before they even get set up, and so on and so forth.
I don't think that you have the data to back this up.
Given the number of "what about the meat industry" comments on here, I want to speak as a vegan and give you my express permission to be morally outraged about careless research causing animal suffering, even if you are an omnivore.

And I wish all of the people here arguing that you need to stop eating chickens to be upset about this a very, "either convert fully to veganism yourself or go away and stop appropriating vegan arguments in an effort to try and get people to care less about animal wellfare."

I would love for all of you to be vegan, but you are absolutely allowed to care about animals before you become vegan. I don't care if you're hypocritical, please do not use the existence of veganism as an excuse to turn off the empathy centers of your brain. No vegan is ever going to tell you not to care about animal suffering just because you don't care about it perfectly consistently in every area of your life. That is not what veganism is about.

Noyb Win: Personalized Ads on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp Declared Illegal
A discussion of healthcare pricing would take hours, but here's a TL;DR:

Most insurers pay negotiated rates, which have no real relationship to list price (uninsured pricing). The law is supposed to (1) make it easier to compare costs, and (2) shame providers into lowering their list prices.

Obviously the industry has been fighting these regulations for years.

The annoying thing is al the games they're playing. Everyone already has a list of prices by CPT code, because it's what billing uses. Just list all prices by CPT codes. The industry refuses.

Yeah it's an editorial style that I don't like either, but I'm sure garners plenty of readers and happy head nodders. I wouldn't put too much into it!
Honestly, incredibly untrue. Everyone adapts. I grew up in a suburb-y suburb (northern virginia) 4-5 years ago. You bike to the local community center with your friends, you drive once you're 15 back from school, to the movies, to the basketball court. The real benefit is in actually being in proper nature. My backyard had trees, and miles of walking trails, and ponds to fish in just a 5 minute walk from my front door. You can't find that in the middle of NYC. Living in a 'real' suburb is far, far better than living in a city as a tween/teenager.

Before you get to that question, you'd want to first answer the question of whether the deaths of the animals were actually necessary to make progress in the first place. Just because Neuralink has killed 1500 animals doesn't automatically mean that those deaths were productive. They just as well could have been the result of negligence or recklessness without real scientific value. That seems like a question that's worth investigating.

Yuuup. My favorite instance in I think 9th grade was opening the computer case while the teacher was out so I could pop out the CMOS battery to disable the BIOS password, boot a live disk without the disk protection software (Deep Freeze), edit the Win95 boot logo screen[1] to put a little smiley face in the corner, and then put it all back together (sans BIOS password, since I never knew what it was originally!). No one ever mentioned it, but I'd see my little smiley every time that PC booted. Later, I spent 13 years working in reverse-engeering-related software :)

The nondescriptness of silver cars is a pro and a con - when I first switched to driving one there was an immediate increase in the amount of time it seemed to take for other drivers/pedestrians/etc to notice me, and I've had to adjust my standard of driving defensively to compensate.
I certainly don't think anyone is particularly less likely to partake in fraud because they did or didn't program, but I guess you have a really compelling reason why?

Yeah, in the case of an acquisition, the acquirer can acquire all sorts of unsavory things – liability, debt, contractual obligations, lawsuits, etc that could potentially harm the acquirer.

In the case of funding, the worst possible outcome is that they write off the investment, like in the case of Sequoia and FTX.
Good question. Technically, nobody, due to Outer Space Treaty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty).

In practice, the only reason the treaty is still up is because it is not very practical to go to terrestrial wars over possession of a piece of Moon surface or an asteroid while you have no realistic method of making any use of it.

It is likely one of the powers will withdraw from the treaty when they are finally ready to take possession of a significant asset in space and the benefits outweigh the risk of terrestrial war. And then other countries will do pretty much the same not to get behind.

I wouldn’t expect the ML-based real-time vocals removal to be high-quality enough for those use cases. It’s a really difficult task, and it doesn’t have to be high-quality to be adequate for karaoke. The press release also says "The vocal slider adjusts vocal volume, but does not fully remove vocals".
Yet no-one here said that for this year's tech layoffs. But I wouldn't be surprised to see less engineers being hired compared to last year which is my entire point. Bringing in ChatGPT into the mix now won't make it any easier for entry level job seekers or for several seniors. This time, it is not the same as before.

But of course. Denying it all, and not adapting sure is a great way of coping with rapid changes. /s

And it's not like everything was made to last longer in the "good old days." If you lived somewhere with snow, you were lucky to get a car through 5 years and 50,000 miles--and it probably needed fairly regular tune-ups etc. to keep running.
> So, what would it take to enable cost-effective repair of Apple equipment?

Forcing them to make a larger, more modular device that a few loud people want and most regular users couldn't care less about. I don't buy the argument that Apple is forcing people to choose their devices. They're in business to make what customers want, and their broad success suggests they've got that nailed.

Indeed, that's the classical game theoretic view. However, consider two possibilities:

- what if deployment of an effective BMD is covert and piecemeal, and is presented as fait accompli? The first to do that wins, and we only have one real contender. You might say that's a very dangerous gamble, but…

- what response do you envision if the cover is blown? Yes, classic game theory suggests launching everything, but let's think about, say, Putin's options. If he launches, he is guaranteed to die very soon and have his country obliterated. If he doesn't, his nuclear deterrent is indeed worth less now, but it's not given he'd ever need it. Both because it might not be needed during his long and happy life, and because the US is not very keen on attacking random dictatorships despite some historical precedents. So the choice for him is between immediate death and potential problems in the future, and hey maybe it's not actually BMD or maybe it's not very effective, right? Covert/deniable deployment helps here, a lot

So between those two possibilities, I think it's not given that an effective BMD would be as dangerous as you suggest.
Not to mention a technology that :

1. costs me hundreds of dollars to replace if it breaks

2. goes through its whole battery in a day or two

3. is rendered inoperable while wearing heavy winter gloves

4. will inevitably force me to agree to giving away PII for free before granting me its services

It can! As the player you can fine tune just about every aspect of the storyteller you might want. You can disable events you may not like, like toxic fallout or sunspots. You can tweak raid sizes, disable certain types of raids, change the impact curves that time and/or wealth have on raid sizes, etc.

I don't know about the other two, but the recent resurgence of "make" seems to be around using it as a standard interface for running tasks. For example, "make build" would run build.py in a python project, webpack in a javascript project, etc.

Similarly there's things that have been ad-hoc standards forever, like "make clean" to remove all build and test artifacts, or "make test" for running tests.

Many of my coworkers only use it in this way and are unaware make looks at files/timestamps.

People took their TVs to TV repair shops in the past, as well.

Buyers want their durable goods to be durable. They don’t want to spend a significant chunk of their income on a product and be stuck with a broken product next year. Whether that’s a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty, or a schematic you can take to your local TV repair man, they don’t care.
