I'm not sure why the reaction to the news that a citizen organization that is non-law enforcement is tracking user data should be "well, it's legal if you have an (R) next to your name." The better question is, why is this data available in the first place?

If senators were actually interested in fighting "big tech" beyond making a show of "banning TikTok" and "investigating Twitter," they would spend the time to craft privacy legislation making it illegal to collect, store or transmit this location data in the first place.

Perhaps someone should start a non-profit to buy and publish the location data of anyone who spends time in the Capitol building. Maybe then we would see some movement on reasonable legislation to curtail this practice.

IIRC this is a feature that is on by default but can be disabled when you turn off the phone. I believe it has to be disabled every time you turn off the phone — it doesn't remember your preference.

I don't know if when you disable this feature it actually makes the phone unfindable, or if it just transmits its normal beacon, but with a message attached that says 'ignore me' (which would obviously make you still findable by Apple, if they were compelled).

For one, it makes their sensor suite equal to what mobile phones have.

The IMU can be used alongside the camera for visual-inertial mapping and navigation, the barometer could be used for localization across floors of a building (yes the barometers in a phone are good enough to pick up on a couple meters' pressure difference), the IMU can also be used for shake-related gestures e.g. ignoring sporadic mouse movements when you're using a laptop in a car, they can be used for gestures e.g. slapping the laptop left and right to switch virtual workspaces, ...

This doesn't seem like a fair characterization at all. Any other path towards borrowing money could potentially lead to getting buried even further in debt, and if an exhorbitant amount of interest is charged, could lead to a debt spiral that's really hard to get out of.

On the other hand, asking for money from a close friend means 0% interest, and an implied forgiveness in case it's not able to get repaid. That sounds like a much better option to me (of course, depends heavily on your relationship with your friends, etc.).

I thought the smarts were required to do the material science, chip design, and factory automation involved in fabs. Once this is done, it’s just clean room and careful repetition. Overly bright people are potentially damaging for manufacturing as they might get bored thinking big thoughts. And how many chip designers are actually needed?

Cost of workers, cost of manufacturing, regulatory and governmental overhead…. These influence fans more than smarts.
The Atreides are still agents of a foreign empire occupying and exploiting Arrakis. They impose the Imperial hierarchy and law on the unwilling populace, by force, if necessary, and they extract the resources. They do try to treat their subjects well within the boundaries permitted by the system, unlike Harkonnens; it's just that the system itself is inherently oppressive, so the best they can do is being "good feudals". Paul even spells it out at one point:

“You sense that Arrakis could be a paradise,” Kynes said. “Yet, as you see, the Imperium sends here only its trained hatchetmen, its seekers after the spice!”

Paul held up his thumb with its ducal signet. “Do you see this ring?”

“Yes.”

“Do you know its significance?”

Jessica turned sharply to stare at her son.

“Your father lies dead in the ruins of Arrakeen,” Kynes said. “You are technically the Duke.”

“I’m a soldier of the Imperium,” Paul said, “technically a hatchetman.”

Kynes’ face darkened. “Even with the Emperor’s Sardaukar standing over your father’s body?”

“The Sardaukar are one thing, the legal source of my authority is another,” Paul said.
I looked pretty thoroughly through the site and the product pages, but I still cannot find any discussion of use cases for the Fomu. Is it just education, ie. learning how to program an FPGA?

To be fair, Hasbro seems to pull this every other major D&D version since introducing the OGL with 3rd edition, so we should expect Two D&D to be a return to more open licensing after the inevitable debacle of One D&D.

Sucks to be one of the companies that exists solely around the ecosystem of the 5e wave of “Hasbro is trying to encourage third party support rather than squeezing producers”, or one of the ones that survived the 4e squeeze because Hasbro didn’t try to squeeze pure legacy use.
This was a concern of mine, so I purchased an induction stove. Also took it one step further by moving my entire kitchen to a covered outdoor patio. It seemed silly to be breathing oil particles for hours every time I cook chicken. Very grateful for my hypochondriac mother.

"One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it."

If you make all of your money off of books and models in a world full of wikis, web-apps and amateur typesetters, and especially 3D printing, they may worry that their revenue streams will dry up if they don't lock down the IP (which will be something an IP lawyer told them to think).

And now they'll put the idea into people's heads by trying to avoid that situation.

I do this in Scala, via https://www.scala-lang.org/api/2.12.13/scala/util/DynamicVar...

It's not perfect, since it uses JVM's thread-local storage under the hood; this can break when e.g. evaluating Futures in a ThreadPool. For variables which are rarely-overridden, like loggers, I do so with a wrapper that also switches the ExecutionContext to a new ThreadPool (urgh, multithreading...)

The setting is one like you describe. It's... well, it's such an absolutely incredible story that it's almost impossible to describe succinctly and accurately. I'd say one of the themes of the story is "what would it be like to live in a place like this, if it actually worked and worked well?". That isn't to say it's utopian, or that the problems and issues of the system don't exist or aren't talked about, but neither would I say it's about those issues.
False confessions are a lot more common than you seem to think; a confession is hardly "incontrovertible". Confessions aren't an exception either, many forms of evidence are less reliable than many think or wish.

Barring a completely incorrect install, the exhaust of the furnace should be completely vent out of your home. The indoor air is warmed by passing against a heat exchanger.

If you’re having issues with air quality have your humidity levels checked. If it’s too low, a furnace attached humidifier will solve that by adding humidity to the treated air.
It always bugged me that you can just burn something inside, unless there's a proper, exhaust-to-the-outside rangehood.
I guess the only worse thing is the modern world are Japanese exhaust-to-room oil heaters.
This example isn’t very compelling because we might as well say the cat died two days ago you just found out later.

I think the biggest concern people have with cheap supplements is not so much efficacy as contamination with heavy metals and other nastiness. Especially with the vast majority of the raw ingredients being sourced from China. People are counting on the domestic distributer's testing to catch quality control issues before the product reaches consumers.
My wife can be in another room and not even know I've turned on the stove/oven, and she starts to cough when I start cooking. (we rent, don't get at me about replacing)

I try to use our portable induction burner whenever I can now, even though we pay for electricity but we don't pay for gas.

I was extremely skeptical and snooty about the potential of induction cooktops when it was first floated, but if I owned a home I would definitely prefer an induction stovetop to a gas one now. Induction is a lot faster and more responsive than gas, in my experience. Just wish there were induction stovetops that has real knobs and weren't so easily cracked or scraped.
IMHO that's a rare event, usually instead of being continuously shocked, someone gets shocked and then in the worst case they die and you have to apply CPR until an ambulance can try to save them.

If someone is being shocked, live, then it all depends on the circumstances, but the most generic standard suggestion in various first aid courses seems to be using a non-conductive stick (e.g. broomhandle) to push them away from the source of power or vice versa. They have probably grabbed the thing with their hand and are unable to release it as the hand is cramped, so that may be difficult.

Finding a circuit breaker may be too long. My intuitive guess (though that's not something I have seen recommended) is that intentionally causing a short-circit and trip the breaker might be faster.
So essentially a rounding error.

It has been acknowledged.

That’s about all it’s going to ever get. We can’t shape society around exceptions. It makes peoples life better to pretend it doesn’t exist because we have bigger problems that affect more people.

The era of hand holding the extreme minority is coming to an end, because we have real problems to handle that have been ignored for decades for the majority. Issues which also cover the special interest groups that you care about.
IMO, detection/observation is the wrong framing of the problem. A better approach is about consistency. All interactions in a system must be consistent: if you have two Schrodinger's cat-boxes being controlled by the same measurement, then either both cats will be dead, or both will be alive, you will never find one dead and the other alive.

In an experimental setup, you might have many different levels of interaction: the photon either hits one sensor or another, that results in one or another message being sent to your recording device, which records one or the other result on your harddrive, etc. As the scale goes up, more and more stuff gets dependent on the result of your measurement, until eventually everything is, yourself included. And if everything is dependent on the result of your experiment, they must all be consistent with a given result of your experiment. Thus, you end up with exactly one answer.

Since the slit edge isn't changed by the diffraction of light, there is no inconsistency between whether the photon passed through its slit or the other.
> Why do we not crowdfund some excellent game designers to make a truly open set of RPGs?

No need to even do that, there is plenty of alternative RPG and game systems out there already. It's not about money. It's about principles. But people wants to play "D&D", Hasbro's IP, Hasbro rules and business practices...

But also let's not forget how some conferences managed to shut down and shun the competition by forbidding them to attend the conferences to promote their alternative creations, insuring Hasbro/WotC prominent market shares...
