It would need to go to a clean room. And accessing the top lager is at odds with bonding the top glass well enough go protect it.

Methinks a better strategy would be trying to make them keep >17% efficiency even if the perovskite fails and just treating it as a temporary bonus for the early movers. Still sounds hard to manage the voltages as it fails though and would require a different strategy for the busbars even if it were viable.
We need to forcibly (as in, by force of law) separate streaming services and content production.

Until pretty recently, we didn't let film studios own movie theaters, for similar reasons.
Do you know anywhere to find good decoders in pure Rust for common codecs like H.264 and H.265? Great tutorial by the way learnt a lot
Very interestingly, this seems similar to the strategy used by plants to absorb energy from sunlight in the red and blue parts of the spectrum with pervoskite absorbing the blue and silicon the green. However there is no indication this is intentional bio mimicry. Do we not have materials which can absorb the middle green part of the spectrum?
This is all part of the plan. Only those on the frontier of nu-speak are untouchable. The faster the frontier advances, the greater the concentration of power in the hands of those coming up with this language.

When people can (and have) lost their livelihoods by using the wrong language, being in charge of new language is a powerful thing indeed.
> Twitter preserves content. Yes, I know it's currently debatable, but in general it does. On Mastodon, any instance can go the way of the dodo, and this regularly happens.

it's super debatable. i take it most of your Twitter experience is through the website/app, rather than following links posted in chats/elsewhere.

i run a Pleroma server. anything from anyone i follow by default gets replicated locally. if/when those servers go offline, accounts get suspended, etc: the content is still viewable to me.

> Mastodon has poor on-boarding.

Twitter has poor on-boarding. post something as a new user? nobody will ever see it. on Mastodon? any instance < 1k users will have a decent chunk browsing the local timeline and you'll get a few interactions. and a lot of instance admins will "boost" first-time posters specifically to help them with onboarding.

in general though, yes: growing any social circle takes time: in person, or online. there's no real way to speedrun that.

> Lastly, and this is perhaps the most twisted point: Mastodon isn't designed for drama.

at this point it's clear you're playing the "shoot down the new tech" angle, rather than honestly evaluating the two on equal footing.
As well as the spokesperson from Scale. The evidence provided to the author also strongly cooborates this fact. Seeing reviews of their commercial devices, they're pretty clear about what is and is not uploaded, with nothing visual uploaded be default.

Therefore I don't agree with your implication as I just don't see any evidence to support it. Even the article's author, with the evidence they were given doesn't push this point.
Nice haha remember when you could search for something on Twitter and it actually returned what you typed in? I've tried so many times to find an old tweet of mine and had no luck. Needless to say I recently grabbed an archive of my data so I can just refer back to that, and never need to go to the sub-par Twitter website anymore.
Yeah I’ve suggested to the s3 leadery folks many times to provide some sort of managed compression and other sorts of codec interfaces. They could do other things like convert between structured encodings as well. Unfortunately it’s never gone anywhere.

That works as long as you already have liquid assets you can just flee with. The flip side is that bitcoin would have been the SS’ dream for punishing anyone who transferred funds to fleeing Jews and, of course, the ability to taint entire chains of transactions would mean that anyone hiding in country wouldn’t be able to use those funds like they would cash or gold. I also don’t like the possibilities were, say, refugees trying to buy passage suddenly hit with the German government reporting all of their accounts as stolen.

It’s an interesting thought exercise but ultimately the lesson is “don’t let fascists gain power” because technology can’t save you.
as far as I can tell, this also means any patents on it are about to run out

Not for H.264; looks like the last patent expires in 2028:

https://scratchpad.fandom.com/wiki/MPEG_patent_lists#H.264_p...

On the other hand, the last patent on MPEG-4 ASP (Xvid/DivX/etc.) which preceded H.264 apparently just expired earlier this month:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Have_the_patents_for_MPEG-4_...

...and IANAL but that means the patents for H.263 and everything older should've already expired too.

Intel is known to analyze code from actual applications and invent new instructions that seem to be missing.

Surely they are aware of the memcpy problem, so if it's true that servers spend a lot of time copying memory, what is Intel (or AMD) doing regarding this?

There was a huge backlash to this. There was the potential for thieves to find out the layout of someone’s home and when it was unoccupied. Add cameras to that and you have a disaster waiting to happen.

I use Serverless with Lambda. It's even a template in Serverless, so with the CLI you just type `serverless` and select the Node.js/Python Scheduled Task template and everything is set up for you.

I do a lot of web scraping, and Lambdas are very useful for web scraping since their IPs can change for each request.

For deployment, you can just do `serverless deploy` or set up a GitHub action each time you push to main.
FWIW I made a career switch in my late 20s. It involved going to grad school to be able to switch to a new career. It ended badly for me though because I graduated as the Great Recession was starting but that I could not have foreseen when I went back to school.
The link you provided explains the algorithm they used to use to assign SSNs, and gives enough information to let you reason that SSNs were not unique prior to the change.

In the past, it was actually illegal to demand someone's SSN for non-official use. The social security administration seems to encourage SSN harvesting now. I'm not sure what changed. Probably scope creep / financial incentives leading to increasing privacy violations.

Not just that, the other trend is that panels used for solar farms have massively increased in size & capacity. The panels we are now buying for our solar farms are 660W, and over 2 meters long. While not as feasible for roof mount (although we're speccing 575W panels for commercial rooftops), these large panels reduce our associated balance of system costs on a $/W basis.
This should be possible to do only through standardizable contracts, with enforcement through arbitration and/or the courts.

I am 12 years old. My GitHub account is flagged for no reason. I am using the GitHub Student Pack. The problem is that I use GitHub OAuth everywere, I can't access applications like Replit and Digital Ocean that I registered using GitHub OAuth. Maybe it's because I'd never use Windows, I use GNU/Linux instead. I used Proton Mail to register GitHub. However, like RMS said, Microsoft is bad. I won't use GitHub anymore.

The labor theory (and broader theories incorporating it) also posits that "price" and "value" are independent. That, combined with the position that value is a function of the labor to produce a good or service, is correct; people can and routinely do pay more or less for a good or service than what it's worth - that difference being dependent on the negotiating power of the buyer v. the seller, any transportation/delivery costs, and myriad other factors that have nothing to do with the actual good or service in question - and the employer/employee relationship is no exception.

When you're in late twenties, you can start over in pretty much any field of work aside from maybe professional sports and military commandos. So my advice would be to not think about what you leave behind as much of a loss, but you do need to be convinced that the new life is good for you.

Personally what's helped me has been to talk to people in the field and read books or watch videos where people talk about their careers. Whatever field you might be interested in, that content is out there (at least in the US) to explain what a career is about in detail.

Sorry folks, devices that ive never, ever signed into, that have never left Seattle, now think theyre in fking Mexico anytime i use a google service. Again, not logged in, but also on browsers that clear everything on exit. The ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION, PERIOD, is that Google took my location data from maps in Mexico and tainted my Seatte IP with it (as i was using my seattle-apt-server as my vpn tailscale exit node)

And to elaborate, the ONLY app on my phone with access to my location is Google Maps.

OP, I 100% believe you, sorry for the comments that clearly just tapped something out without thinking it through.

If that was me on the toilet I'd be pissed at Roomba and their trust in bogus contractors, but since you can't tell it's me I don't really care. Maybe that's just me.
I grew used to not pressing these during the pandemic, so for a while after this change I often stood there for ages before remembering I now have to push the button. Thankfully I've adjusted now.

The comment about the crossing times being too short is spot on, often they are too short for me as a healthy young person. Trying to cross when you can't move as quickly must be a total nightmare.

Sydney has a few crossings where instead of particular directions being open to pedestrians, the whole crossing goes green for pedestrians and red for cars. This seems more efficient to me, and safer since cars aren't moving at all when you cross - often you have to share the space with cars turning left when you cross. I wish we had more of these.
A very specific type of wetness promoted by a bandage, might promote wound healing better than dry. I don't think high-school pool water will help.

New tissue growth is like the rest of our biology. Proteins are made in water solution inside cells. That has to get to the new tissue. Providing a scaffolding with a warm, wet, nutrient-rich environment around the wound should in theory make it heal faster and with less scarring, too. But these environments are also good for pathogen growth and invite infection. And removing detritus and pus and nutrient/gas exchange become issues as well. So just how moist and packed to keep a wound, and with what kind of packing and moisture, has been debated back and forth basically forever.

I hate crypto but be real, Coinbase actually releases financial statements due to being regulated in the USA. Armstrong has a giant mansion in LA. Where is Binance or CZ?

Don't look back - you made the right call. I enjoyed Westworld S1, and just finished S4. So full of self-important idiocy. Every line half-whispered as though it's the ultimate drama, but not a single character anyone might care about or identify with.

One of their problems was dragging various actors/characters through season after season - I got absolutely sick of every single one of them. I don't know how they managed their lines with a straight face.

Another was setting everyone up for this ongoing global-stakes quest. Andor just showed that you can make an exceptional story out of small slices of a bigger setting. It often feels to me that when a show/movie sees its character attain super powers, they struggle with storytelling afterwards, being forced to invent higher and higher stakes. Marvel movies (outside of something like Logan), The Matrix (IMO), etc.
Re-quoting the GP's quote,

> They were given to “paid collectors and employees” who signed written agreements acknowledging that they were sending data streams, including video, back to the company for training purposes.

So it hardly seems likely that they would not be aware of this.
People following instructions to dodge paying by commenting out the payment check code are hardly “hapless geeks”. Nobody does this by accident.

Sounds like the issue is that they aren’t properly recording their transactions, which is something that could be fairly effectively managed by a centralized database rather than the blockchain.

I remember asking a friend - how should solar panels face the sun to get the maximum efficiency?

(I was thinking there must be a way to get the maximum number of kwh out of a day)

He said "You don't orient the panels for the sun, you orient them for PG&E!"

in other words, dump kwh and face them where the sun is at 3 pm onwards

(guess they used regulatory-capture to soak everyone again so even that doesn't matter)

Some people have said this already but it bears reiterating because I had to learn this the hard way: big organizations are qualitatively different from small ones, mainly because they can't play fast-and-loose with the rules as much. So big organizations have bureaucracy to make sure the rules get followed. That slows things down. You have to adjust your expectations accordingly.

Another thing to keep in mind: navigating bureaucracy in order to get things done is a skill in and of itself, and it takes time to learn and master. It's made that much more challenging by the fact that this is not widely recognized as a skill, and so there aren't any books or manuals. You have to mostly learn by doing. But three rules of thumb that I have found tremendously useful:

1. Be friendly. Keep in mind that everyone you interact with is a human being and they are all in the same soul-crushing boat as you are. A little bit of common courtesy can move mountains.

2. Read the rules. There are probably mountains of documentation somewhere about policies and procedures and who is at least ostensibly in charge of what. This documentation may or may not be complete, and it may or may not bear and resemblance to actual reality, but being familiar with it is nonetheless very useful because nothing strikes more fear into an uncooperative bureaucrat's heart than someone who has read the rules and knows what they say.

3. Rule 1 is more important than rule 2.
