The risk is high when investing into a younger company. I think younger companies, like Rivian, tend to collectively attract more talent and more modern ideas. Risky sure, but Rivian seems to gotten amazon's deep pocket investment, which is encourages more trust it would succeed.

Oshkosh has experience with making workhorse trucks (i,e their firetrucks), but their EV initiative is banking on the USPS contract, its like a new startup; As risky as partnering with anyother EV company with just a concept car.

Rivians, for example, already have the talent, manufacturing processes, and financial backing to get USPS trucks much quicker
It's an ancient and noble tradition! And it's not like cultures should or even can change with times to adapt to new circumstances, should they? Get outta here with your cultural insensitivity!

Speaking seriously, cultural tolerance can only exist to a certain extent because each culture has some things it absolutely (or almost absolutely) prohibits and disdains, so when two incompatible in such a way cultures meet, something has to give.
That sounds so strange...

I use Windows every day, and I know shortcuts and tools for many things.

But for work I use Ubuntu, and for writing code it is a much more efficient environment.

So it is actually hard to imagine an environment less productive than Windows.

Now, if your work is done in Office (which I only use to write emails), or Photoshop, then I understand. But I am still intrigued.
Forgive me but that sounds rather sensationalist. If you have any evidence of this phenomenon I would be interested to see it.

Not that arranged marriages sometimes happen and honour killings too (albeit extremely rarely), but that there’s a “shroud of silence” around such things when they do happen.

My mom was a pianist and purchased a Yamaha diskclavier in the late 90s. One summer I was able to download the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack to a floppy disk in MIDI format. Was then able to insert the disk into the diskclavier unit and the piano proceeded to play FF7 songs with the keys and everything. My parents thought I was some genius at the time :)
24 is a multiple of 120, so you can repeat frames 5x on the 24fps parts, and play the whole video at 120fps.

The question is what the on/off time is of a 24fps film. My TV has black frame insertion to make 24fps content look better; I am personally a huge fan of black frame insertion so I would imagine that theater projectors do it or something equivalent. If so, that will go away with your "play the same frame 5 times" algorithm. (Old style film projectors did it as an implementation detail; the sample and hold nature of LCD screens is a new "problem" for 24fps content.)

>tourists who otherwise have to obtain cannabis from the sometimes murky criminal underworld

This 100% exists in Amsterdam, just abstracted one layer by the absurd tolerance policy where coffeeshops are allowed to sell to people but the product just magically appears in the shop. Supply is still a fully a criminal underworld.
He's engaging in a kind of ad hominem argument, that believing we are unique is a morally questionable position, therefore we must believe otherwise.

The errors in history have been the opposite: believing other intelligences are more common than they have turned out to be. The world was filled with non-human creatures in mythology and folklore. In the 1700s it was presumed every planet in the solar system had intelligent life on it.
>This approach is based on pushing information rather than pulling it

This is really what's at the heart of almost every discussion regarding communication. Many if not most places introduce polling rituals as a one-size-fits-all solution, whereas many people work best pushing information and having everyone else react to it. It is no different than event-driven structure vs polling.

Every time you create more 'polling' systems and push some claim (the infamous 'new employees won't speak up without standups' comes to mind), there is less pressure to teach them asynchronous ways of working. Every time some manual procedure is pushed as a fix, the alternative of an automatic procedure is pushed aside because 'costs too much money' and 'look, manual works, communication!'.
OTOH stipends based in academic excellence do exist, all the way to balancing off your tuition.

They are few and far between though, for rare star performers, not a program that covers every student.
6% is hardly what I'd call "rare".
Done through the means of ensuring that the original artist may profit off of their own hard work and no one else can steal the hard work and profit off it. The abuse you're talking about is the extension of the same mechanism that allows rights owners to profit for much longer periods of time, which actually discourages the creation of new works. This can all be true because there aren't binary solutions and things need nuance.
Exactly. The key is focus which is not the same thing as organization or just "having one conversation."
The recent video on MuseScore 4 has a fascinating (though simplified) perspective on how limiting MIDI is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qct6LKbneKQ&t=21m35s

MIDI's issues in a notation context are twofold: non-standardization of controls for e.g. choosing articulations for string instruments, and an inability to communicate future information if known to the MIDI producer - say, for instance, knowledge that this Note On event is the beginning of a phrase that will last for 2 measures, as known to notation software.

There's a real way in which MIDI solved for communicating trigger events over the wire, but was not extensible enough to allow for further backwards-compatible standardization that would let it communicate music over the wire. By contrast, the web evolved from communicating hypertext to sending entire application environments and executable code over the same protocols. The web was born later, to be sure, but in an age where an Arduino can execute JavaScript, I wish we were looking to much more extensible modes of communication as inspiration for what can be done with interoperable musical devices.
I haven't been with Wells Fargo for a few years now, but I did get a check for about $200 in the mail the other day due to some fees that had been processed in an "unintended manner" apparently.
This appears to be the crux of the problem...

"if you’re unwed at 25, you’re thought to be on the verge of spinsterhood, pretty much the worst failure imaginable"

This sentiment seems to be near-universal in all but the most "progressive" societies (and even in some parts of those). And it results in all manner of grotesque and absurd behavior that robs people - mostly women but also men - of their humanity and autonomy.

I applaud every young person with the courage to buck this trend in their own societies. The cost of doing so is often very high, but the pattern can only be broken by people brave enough to face those consequences and help craft a less restrictive world for the next generation.
So, they didn't wave a magic wand to create imaginary points, they just sold imaginary points without the wand waving first. I get it.

This is such a trip, I've got a number of Chumbies (Chumbys?) of the original OMAP processor variety. I even have a "Chumby Guts" kit that I got from Adafruit back in the day which has all the parts, minus the squishy case!

They are a great tool for this kind of project because learning about building embedded Linux systems is easier with something that has all the parts already put together for you (it's just software at that point).

It also shows how fleeting in time technology is. Building an equivalent today is certainly possible, but the parts you would use for it would be out of date/obsolete in a couple of years so no real "durability" to the existence of the tool.

The biggest challenge is of course display tech. Displays are all custom made these days for products that have runs in the millions, there hasn't really existed a "standardized" parts eco-system for them. I had hoped the phone business might provide that but nope.
I think you didn't stay on top of developments for 2 weeks, because the new thing is to basically call any activity "ableist".

Ableist and privileged, magic words to bring anything down.

You can also get more specific. For example, we all know that white people suck. When white people do a good thing, they're white saviors. Or center themselves. When they're quiet, it's white silence. When they get angry, white fragility. When they learn about other cultures, cultural appropriation. Even when being bloody on time for a meeting that's "whiteness".

It's a divisive, anti-progress, hateful, cynical death cult.
You can't blame people for voting on "party line" when there are only two parties to vote on. That's a problem we can't solve, so let's not shame folks for dealing with it.

But here's the fun part: it doesn't matter who voted for the governor: once voted, the represent everyone in the state of New York, irrespective of who they voted for. When the house votes, almost unanimously to pass a bill, the governor's job is to sign it, not to stare at the wall picking their nose while checking their bank account on their phone every few minutes.

Even worse, don’t modern digital signals look similar to noise, are usually encrypted, use much higher frequencies, and have less gap between bands? Good luck trying to spot a cellphone signal from Proxima Centauri (my phone has trouble getting signal at home!)

Many analogue broadcast signals have been replaced by digital, and broadcast as a technology is in its twilight years (although my parents do still get TV and listen to the radio!)

So signals might only be detectable in nascient technology civilisations - they then move on to undetectable signals?
Yeah, I realised my children, barely a decade old, don't really know the cartoon characters I took for evergreen as a child: Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, Yogi Bear, Woody Woodpecker and Rocky & Bullwinkle. I mean they could probably name all of them, but don't really have an attachment or think they belong to a pantheon of any sorts.

I assume that companies foresaw this coming and decided not to invest in further developing or promoting characters that they couldn't have exclusive merchandising rights for the foreseeable future. Just making money off a new movie isn't enough if you can't have sole rights to license the t-shirts and have the current children introduce it to their children.
Playing a MIDI file isn't a straight forward task! To me, it feels akin to sharing an image without telling its colour space.

A lot of people feel the same way about Casablanca.

My advice is: you don’t have to like it.

If you are lucky you’ll stumble across an article or YouTube video that goes into details about how metropolis inspired movies _you_ love and on the back of that you can rewatch it as a sort of “behind the scenes” experience.
Which Gould performance ? He himself changed quite a bit in his many Bach performances over time, so it's interesting to listen and contrast his earlier, younger performances with his later works.

I find many of Bach's music simultaneously "robotic" (brainiac, rational, calculating, etc) and extremely emotional at the same time and for me, that's one of the main draws of his music.
> Perhaps you're not the person that should be explaining to everyone what is painfully obvious and what is not then.

You didn't even understand my comment. I meant it's painfully obvious to me. It should have been obvious that I didn't mean it was obvious to everyone, but obviously some people can't see the obvious.

I could write a long essay on why we're not on the verge of expanding beyond our home planet, but I feel that it would be a big waste of time. I'm not going to change your mind, you're not going to change my mind, and that's one reason why humanity is ultimately doomed.
I'm not into Gould because I too find much of his playing misguided and awful, so my understanding may be incorrect, but I think back in Gould's days, the general piano style was much more virtuoso. I think Gould provided some needed push back on that through his provocateur search for something different.

He does have some great insights here and there - take the first movement of the tempest sonata:

This really rings true! We had an outage that was essentially due to errant use of the keyboard shortcuts and default read-write settings in k9s. "Bye bye super important deployment" is a bit too easy.

One thing I love about supabase is that they are focused. They have a ton of features, but they're cohesive in ways no one else has managed. You can manage your document storage, their built-in auth provider, and websocket updates ALL IN SQL.

And now their QETL and remote servers?? (https://supabase.com/blog/postgres-foreign-data-wrappers-rus...) And their CDN and Image processing???

It is shocking and almost painful how beautiful this all is. And how with those basics, you could almost do anything. But yeah, I think the only thing between Supabase and Web Scraping Screenshots is a Postgres Plugin, entirely independent of what Supabase provides.

If I were one of those beautiful people who write a blog about rasterizing on a e-pregnancy tests, I'd give it a shot haha
For me it wasn't so much the per-app/stream mixer but per-stream dynamic routing that was the important feature of Pulse (though I've moved on to PW now).

I'm not too sure how this is handled on other platforms, but pre-PA the in-app volume control would often modify the global mixer, rather than implement an in-app mixer/attenuator, which is definitely not what you usually want. In most Linux apps these days, those controls manipulate and are synchronized with the PA mixer, so there's still only one actual mixer, they are the same control. I assume that other OSes also do per-stream mixing in a similar manner, and just choose not to expose the mixer for whatever reason.

As much as people complain about PulseAudio it's always worked well for me, and from what I've seen of Windows and macOS alternatives, it's more featureful and usable out of the box.
One of the driving forces of these language initiatives is to create division within native English speakers, too.

That's not the problem. Wells Fargo shareholders won't be proportionately punished for this, regardless of whether it's an LLC or not. The root of the problem is that the firm itself isn't being proportionately punished.

Solve the second problem, and then maybe the first one will become the bottleneck.
> I seriously doubt paying them off even could work. Why would they not take the payment then do it anyway?

Yes. And cheaper. I just ordered a Raptor Lake + 4090 configuration from a major PC builder for $3500, which is cheaper than the M1 Ultra Mac Studio.
If it was biologically similar to Earth life, it wouldn't prove much of anything, as it could have gotten there by impact panspermia.

Discovery of a fundamentally different biology, even on Earth, would indicate two OoL events had occurred near each other. This would be very strong evidence that OoL cannot be rare.
Sucks being an early adopter.
Doesn't really make sense, as these same 20s works were the ones that were kept out of the public domain the first time around with the Copyright Term Extension Act.
I stand corrected (although I still can't speak to what the VC++ compilers do): I somehow thought there were "bootstrapping" headers that were silently included with a compiler invocation, but were still subject to exclusion through various "-nostdinc" and "-nobuiltininc" style "just preprocess the given C source, without respect to the filesystem". But in the few minutes I spent futzing around with clang-15 I was unable to find a counter example, and sure enough even running strings on libclang-cpp coughs up one I would have thought for sure was coming from such a system header

What Borat did in his film was purposefully ridicule dirt poor people from Eastern Europe, making them look like bigoted idiots who might live in a makeshift barn with their cow and playing the whole thing for laughs. There was a lot about it that really was kinda despicable.
Totally agreed. Obsidian sync is pretty disappointing, honestly. I still use it, but I would call it just barely good enough.
As I said, perhaps the aircraft were using PIA codes before. They certainly have been flying recently without them though. That’s easily verified.

In any case, getting around PIA is not illegal, and is something the FAA explicitly warns aircraft owners is possible. PIA is just an obfuscation of the ICAO hex code, there’s nothing stopping spotters at airports from tying a new hex code to an existing registration, and there’s nothing spotters like more than a mystery. All entirely within the law.

There is no evidence that anyone tracking Musk’s aircraft, including Sweeney, had any desire to cause physical harm to him, nor that they had that effect.

> This attempt to deny the criminal nature of an act is disturbing.

What criminal nature? Nothing Sweeney or any other flight tracker did was in any way criminal. Not even Musk has claimed that it was.
When you pass a Swift String to C you do so with a given lifetime. By default this is the duration of the call.
I agree with you in general, but I think it's important to note that the web has evolved in a forwards incompatible manner. You can't hook up an older device/web browser to the modern web and have it work with modern web sites. In many cases (depending on how old) it doesn't even degrade gracefully.

On the other hand, you can hook up a 40 year old MIDI keyboard to a brand new iPhone via MIDI and it just works.
Probably just stop at the attendance incentive without going into grades. It would probably be more palatable to the higher-ups if the incentive was low-key, like if it went towards your food-court balance.
I don’t think the solutions proposed will be that impactful. How, exactly, is a platform supposed to ban content that may actually end up being more valid-seeming than the average human? How exactly will government policies prevent this on a global internet?

I fear we are about to enter a period where very little can be trusted. The biggest skill our kids can learn is reasoning and logic.

I would argue that politics has been primarily a "professional" occupation for most of human history. And there were certainly plenty of generational political families in Western countries before the past 40 years.

I suspect that the only thing that changed is the PR. When mass media is mostly centralized, dominated by a few large radio/TV channels and newspapers, it's not hard to manufacture a public image.
Bears defend their territories and when there are too many of them, some get pushed out of forests and try to survive in human settlements, typically by picking trash and that sometimes leads to attacking people with grim consequences. The number of bear attacks in Carpathians is rising sharply lately.
