What does “Zebra” mean in this context?

> Native mobile components include a barcode scanner, camera, NFC reader, geolocation tracker, signature pad, and Zebra integration to allow you to fully enable your field teams to operate efficiently.

The only mention of Zebra in the docs is for zebra striping table rows/lists.

Or does it mean Zebra printer for label printing via ZPL?

My wheelhouse is label printer integration, so I’m naturally drawn to printer vocabulary.

>The Soviet Union on the other hand bore the brunt of losses in WWII. It suffered massive deaths in the war, especially among its young men of working age. It was invaded by NAZI Germany, and some of its largest cities occupied or put under siege. Its agricultural and industrial lands were ravaged by war, its people by wartime famine.

All that and not a word about the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, of course. When two criminals fall out with each other after a joint robbery and murder, one ordinarily does not overly mourn the one whom the other killed in a dispute over the spoils.
The USSR's economy grew massively and quickly after WWII. It's a country that went from literal feudalism to modernity in one generation, becoming one of the two superpowers largely dictating world politics.

Sure, but you also have to consider the proximity to where the productivity gains are happening. The median household income has increased 4 times over in SF since 1990 (30K - 120K). Do you really expect property values in SF to stay the same? And of course, that's just the median. At the high end, the difference is even more pronounced.

You're right that the US is a fabulously wealthy country. Still, this might be a misguided comparison: the least developed region of NZ still has a higher HDI than two US states[1][2], without considering territories.

If you decided to wander around West Virginia (as I have), you'd see plenty of people burning coal and/or firewood for heat in winter (and WV winters are much harsher than NZ ones, from what I know about NZ). You'll also see extreme indigence of a sort that's otherwise almost completely invisible in the US.

Pulling the movie from theaters and removing distribution of the movie behind the iron curtain is essentially banning it. This was 1940... there wasn't really any way for them to see the movie if they decided to not distribute it in the USSR. You couldn't VPN into American Netflix or torrent the movie to get it. It was an unofficial ban. The book hadn't been translated to Russian at the time.

The story (both movie and book) shows the darker side of capitalism and Stalin hoped it would make great propaganda to reinforce why capitalism doesn't work to make soviets grateful for communism. But instead, the people that saw the movie were just shocked that even the worst Americans were better off than the the average soviet citizen, which backfired on Stalin's intended goal.

More importantly, the ending of The Grapes of Wrath shows hope in even the darkest moments and a way that an American had the freedom to turn their luck around and give their family a fresh opportunity at life, even when they had seemingly lost everything. This showed power that the poorest Americans had, and soviets couldn't ever hope of having. That freedom was surely impactful.
A very modern convention is now using “they/their” when a person may not be aware of someone’s preferred pronoun. And even still, I have also seen people abandon gendered pronouns entirely.

Samsung actually isn't so bad, they offer 4 updates on high end phones now (and I think 3 on cheaper ones) but don't forget:

* Samsung is market leader in Android but far from the only vendor especially outside the US. Apple is far from #1 in most countries.

* The mid range phones from Samsung do get new versions but it takes longer because they do the high-end ones first. And Samsung is slow anyway due to their major customization (not just the visual shell). I think it took 3 months after Android 13 release just for the first Samsung phone to get it.

* The cheaper brands are huge in lower wage countries (including the ones that have the most population in the world) and many of those still have crap update policies. Even Sony which is more expensive than Samsung still offers only 2/3 updates! They're really bad for the price though they hardly influence the numbers because they're so marginal.

* Most Androids don't auto update overnight like Apple's phones do. Hence many users decline it don't even notice the prompts.
>Groceries are about as expensive, if not more, than new Zealand.

If this were actually true as opposed to nonsense, there wouldn't have been the nationwide excitement over the recent opening of New Zealand's first Costco (complete with a visit from PM Ardern), and endless discussion in the press over how it would hopefully lower grocery prices.
I was a happy customer of T-Mobile for around 10 years. Until I moved out into the county and was forced to switch. It seems like temblor has gone down hill since acquiring sprint. But this isn't the first time something like this has happened at T-Mobile. Seems as if they have a 2-3 year cadence of data incidents.
I prefer ZeroSSL to Let's Encrypt. ZeroSSL has no rate limit, and most importantly they have full ECC support.

>how they built Windows applications with no internet access

internet access is a massive distraction, instead you used documentation that was pretty good. It meant you needed a bit more of a base in place before you started--you had to buy a copy of the developer SDK/tookkit for whatever you were working on--but you had so many fewer distractions after that.

(not that it played a large role, but inter network communications between companies was pretty standard during the time that Microsoft was writing Windows, starting with microsoft!ucbvax!decvax etc. type addressing, and soon .com/.edu was added)

The problem is that those people willing to pay for such a service are exactly those who advertisers are most interested in.

What I mean is that I would consider quantum computing a failure if it took us "from n2 to n1.5". That would make it the same as SIMD or parallel computing. I still think that linear-time factoring or sorting could be revolutionary, but only if enough interesting problems can be reduced to them. I'm holding out hope for a fast quantum SAT3 solver, at that point it will just be a waiting game until you can get an expansion card for solving NP-hard problems.

It's more that the GPIO interface on Linux is very heavy weight as it's a sysfs interface to perform any signal transitions, and exposes only a lowest common denominator of function composibility. That eats a ton of cycles.

Like, yeah, twiddling a GPIO line is more expensive than you'd think on an RPi. It's in the dozens of cycles range. But if you look at it in terms of wall time, single cycle access on an Arduino is 62.5ns, and each cycle on an RPi at 900Mhz is 1.1ns, so they're in the same ballpark if you have bare metal access.
To put it simply:
In an alternate world where USD was not the reserve currency, PPP of US based wages would be lower, all else equal.

The actual nominal conversion rate of the currency is pretty meaningless. The fact that Yen is 100 to 1ish to the dollar is also not very meaningful. They're all just nominal values. Only the exchange rate relative to fundamentals matters. USD gets stronger exchange rates relative to the fundamentals of the currency (because many foreign countries and citizens also hold USD, not just locals). Which is mostly untrue for other currencies.

PPP adjusted salaries are lower everywhere else in the world, partially, but not wholly for this reason.

I’m sure it’s been said before but if Twitter wants to get away from advertising, this action seems like such a wasted opportunity.

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t seem all that difficult to have phased in an access fee for the API that’s charged to the app developers. There are lots of ways you could do this.

From Twitter’s perspective, they’d get all the advantages of the third party ecosystem while externalising the risk of moving to a paid model.

Twitter could have kept the “advertising supported” business to itself, at least for a while, while watching the competing apps settle on a price point.

I mean the data this would have given Twitter about monetisation would have been fantastic. And at some point they could have released their own paid version too.

Oh well. I suppose Elon knows what he is doing.
Places that the US (reasonably!) dumped money on, in most cases to highlight and contrast a US-supported domestic system with the Soviet one.

It's all about small decisions. I'll list some examples but keep in mind that they're just examples.

* Prefer markets that overall use less plastic, even if this might bring you a small inconvenience. For example if market A sells groceries in bulk (bring your own bag) and market B sells the same groceries in styrofoam trays, then you buy it in market A, even if it's a bit further from your home.

* Actively refuse unnecessary plastic. For example, where I live bakeries often put bread inside paper bags, and the paper bags inside plastic bags; so I usually tell the workers there "no need for the plastic bag". I'm still creating some garbage (the paper bag) but it's way less than I would otherwise.

* Homemade alternatives for store-bought products. It doesn't even need to be the same product, as long as it fills the same role for you - like homemade fruit juice versus soda, homemade tomato sauce, or buying Parmesan in chunks and grating it instead of buing it pre-grated in small packages. You'll need to take your tastes into account, but some replacements might be even cheaper or better than what you're replacing.

* Reusing containers so you need to buy less tupperwares. Like ice cream pots, soda bottles, even margarine pots. Where I live there are even jokes about how ice cream pots never contain ice cream, but cooked beans.

In addition to those TechNet CDs, we established some rapport via CompuServe or phone with specific Microsoft support people. Occasionally they would fix a bug we reported and send us rebuilt libs, or send us an internal Microsoft tool to try. That was a different era, obviously with a much smaller population of developers with less exposure to those who would support them.
