Surely you could make a far greater environment impact by donating $50 to a conservation or carbon credit charity instead of spending $100 on $50 worth of groceries that have less plastic in their supply chain.
Check in with the average user of desktop browsers. You may find a lot of them have accidentally accepted web pushes and have no idea how to make them go away.

I'd be shocked if the vast majority of "use" of the "feature" weren't exactly that kind of spammy, unwanted messaging.
Good. Web push is such a mess. The amount of people with Android phones like my grandma that accepted push notifications on some spam site, either by accident or because users are so conditioned to just click "ok" to make popups go away, it's absurd.
That only works if the replacement chips for the new interface don't cost even more
"Double the flash memory" !!

- How much do you think the NOR flash costs inside this cable?

- How big do you think the firmware actually is?

- 16MB Winbond NOR flash is like $0.70 with no price breaks (for me, I am not Apple making 1 million units) - there's no way they need 1MB for two slots, much less 16MB.

- These cables retail for $49.

Two firmware boot slots is standard practice because it is essentially free to provide in any higher-end consumer electronic device: especially one that is explicitly designed to be unplugged easily.

How many support claims are saved on this $49 cable because mid-update bricking does not occur?
Just the shell, but it is loved. :) Will be housing a new threadripper next, when AMD gets around to the zen 4 releases.

> Authors “debunk” the “myth” of lack of involvement of low income black fathers from lives of their children. Anyone who has knowledge about basic statistical facts of low income black society in US will immediately be wondering how they could possibly show the lack of involvement of black fathers is a myth, when fully 80% of black children are born to unmarried mothers.

There's the immediately obvious point that marriage != involvement, which appears to be one of the main considerations of the study.

> The answer is rather shocking: the authors simply ignore the children, whose fathers are completely uninvolved, and only consider children with at least minimally involved fathers.

Where is the actual description of this? I don't have access to the linked paper, but the underlying study [1] it is based on doesn't appear to say this.

Countervailing OSINT data isn't the only problem with the story Hersh is telling; a deeper problem is that the whole scheme doesn't make much sense. The author links to a more expansive debunking at the top of his story (it's a better link than the one we're reading now, because it incorporates all this Norwegian minesweeper OSINT), and the bulk of it is just observations about how dumb this mission structure is.

Implausibly informed anonymous single source? Check.

Midlist Tom Clancy-grade technical details, like salinity camouflaged C4 charges? Check.

Basic factual errors, like the Norwegian Navy not operating P8s? Check.

Irrational strategic details, like using Navy minesweepers as platforms for human divers during a huge, widely monitored, extensively planned military exercise? Check.

That's just this analysis. But you can work back through Hersh's credibility with similar debunkings of his previous stories. Look at the enmity Hersh's cheering section has for Bellingcat, for instance, for taking his Syria Sarin story to pieces.
For that matter, it certainly doesn't exclude the possibility that the person posting as molopolo24 was personally responsible for the attack!

And now that the possibility has been raised, we must all very seriously consider it along with all the other possibilities. This is only fair.
Six character is (in)famously the maximum length of linker symbols on IBM systems, at least for FORTRAN. Perhaps that had something to do with it. And of course, there comes a time when you have to pick a number, so why no 6x6, which is also good for 10^10 integers?

Yeah. The same thing happens with bankster's frauds. The difference is that a fraud case is very costly to investigate and prosecute; in this case, as you put it, I gave it to them on a silver platter.

And I'd bet that they'd have recovered dozens of expensive bikes if they'd raided it, and solved at least dozens of open cases.

> First, that when some malware gets in, it looks like you.

I don't see what this has to do with trust. Whether or not there is a secure trust chain, malware can likely impersonate you.

> Second, that people who are not technically savvy will not be able to use that control to protect themselves, but will instead very often have it used against them.

If people are going to ignore the flashing red banners that pop up when they try to override the trust store that comes with their device, then that is a price we have to pay, IMO. We accept in the rest of our lives that some things are dangerous, and while we erect many barriers to make those things more difficult, we recognize that is the price of freedom. People will do them anyway, and some will be harmed. It doesn't have to be frictionless, it just has to be possible.

Is there a spate of malware going around that involves users installing new keys in their UEFI secure boot trust store? I haven't really heard of this. I also haven't really heard of a spate of malware using Android's developer mode that is pretty easy to enable, if you know how. I think the risk involved in giving users ultimate control of the device's trust store is greatly overblown.
People will do anything to try and counter bike theft instead of just getting insurance. It did take me one bike theft myself to learn that lesson though.

"Technically possible" doesn't always mean "legally permissible."
Totally agree with this. Thinking of doing a deep dive to see if there's any actual real uses cases of these toys, but I honestly don't really think so. Art generation is probably the most interesting application, but just having a chatbot to talk to seems like a weird value prop.
The fighter can only slow down to like 180 knots, while the balloon might be blowing around at 10-90 knots depending on where exactly it is. How close do you have to be with the Mark 1 eyeball to actually disambiguate this kind of target, how long would you actually be at that range in a fly-by, and how many fly-bys are you willing to do before "whatever, we will just apologize to the NOAA or a college somewhere" and shoot it down.

Maybe the targeting pod could give you a zoomed up view, but it's not really designed for nearly stationary, high altitude objects.
Eh, you're extending the good reasoning of 'if you plan to stay more than a few years, buy' a bit too far. There absolutely be good reasons to rent unless you intend to live somewhere long term. Even then, some vhcol locations it never makes sense to buy. You gotta do the math.

Had awful experiences in: Washington State (all over), Silicon Valley, Tampa Bay, Dallas, and Salt Lake City. Mostly Marriott-owned places FWIW, but I checked and all the surrounding hotels had the same issues. The staff at the hotels were nice and they were doing their best, but they were hilariously understaffed.

I stayed in a few non-Marriott hotels in northern Japan and didn't have any trouble there beyond the normal Japanese hotel badness (they're clean, but insanely cramped, expensive, and uncomfortable)

Up until recently, the "collective right" interpretation was the law of the land. The "individual right" interpretation was argued about but was less than twenty years since became accepted.
I don’t doubt that many foreign entities have interests at stake and ongoing efforts to influence US elections and vice versa. These efforts will take many forms with some appearing less legitimate than others.

Jeez man why aren't you insuring them?
Recall is the word we use when a defect was found and must be repaired or retrofit. The actual process of repair could involve customer action or not.

Teslas are basically digitally tethered to the dealer, so they can be "recalled" anytime (without your approval, fwiw), but it doesn't make the word not apply.
Definitely! Some of which are trained medical professionals who assist those on the autism spectrum improve their social skills. And for those new to a culture or region, there are often associations with courses and volunteers that help people develop social skills for their new region

If Tesla's work is actually going somewhere, then they don't need to change the engineering to get L3 in specific places. They can have a list that gets added to over time.
First, we're not talking a tiny 12 inch party balloon. Weather balloons are easily 20 feet wide at altitude.

But more importantly, you've always got a sizable package of hard electronics dangling off the balloon for sensors and telemetry. Ingesting that is going to cause damage, guaranteed.
I believe the stop sign adjustment is to increase dwell time at empty intersections. i.e. stop and count to two before proceeding.

Why isn't there a website where a student or hobbyist group can register their balloons before they launch? So the FAA knows what balloons are in the air at any given time. I'd bet they're already tracking the governments weather balloons right now.

Right now it would be a fools errand to launch a balloon and actually expect it wouldn't be shot down.
> Cops really don’t give a shit about theft unless it’s from a business.

My only experience with police and bike theft is the opposite; they police were helpful and recovered my bike. When I first called them they even suggested that I make initial contact with the thief and they’d be there to support the sting, which surprised me a lot! I found the bike a couple of weeks after it was stolen when the thief posted it for sale online, and when I called the police they let me know that the phone number was associated with a “known operator”. I didn’t end up making direct contact with the thief, an undercover officer took care of it. Several officers joined, and they were all super happy to have helped. It was overall a positive and satisfying experience.

This may be very locale-dependent, I’m in the western U.S., not Europe.
This is a known problem with cable news, relevant info from the FCC:
https://www.fcc.gov/broadcast-news-distortion

Spreading disinformation from politically aligned media sources is a fundamental authoritarian strategy. Politicized news is used to generate outrage which excites the electorate into participating in elections.

There was a good episode of Freakonomics on NPR concerning negative bias in the media and why people respond to it.
https://freakonomics.com/podcast/why-is-u-s-media-so-negativ...

You can't fix negativity, but you can better regulate media to be accountable without infringing on free speech. There has been a very sharp downturn in factual quality and impartiality of information provided by news organizations over the past two decades in the US and we are overdue for a course correction.
I just googled myself and it’s a pile of nonsense, none of these people are me! slide_whistle.mp3
Then they're inconvenienced and discomforted but otherwise fine. The first job of a pilot is "keep the plane flying." Any avoidance maneuver the pilot undertakes should be within the flight envelope of the plane. And planes should be separated enough that emergency maneuvers do not put the plane at risk of immediate collision with another plane.

If a pilot saw a balloon, freaked out, nosedived / stalled the plane and it crashed, the investigation would conclude "Pilot error," much the same as it would if a pilot saw a flock of geese and did the same thing.
Yeah how absurd of me to me to ask for their reasoning.

Not absurd at all to bring up another universe...

I ignored that silly part of their statement as you should have.
You suggested an engine will "happily" consume a human which suggests it would continue functioning, you're getting blowback because you are making statements that indicate you don't know what you're talking about.

They can waive torts, yes. Doing so is a very specific process.

Cops regularly get qualified immunity for absolutely egregious conduct. The military is not going to get successfully sued for shooting down a $12 balloon while acting in good faith on national security duties.
The amount of hyperbole and completely uninformed takes around FSD is eye opening.

I’ll completely agree that “Full self driving” is a misleading name, and they should be forced to change it, full stop.

That being said, it’s exceptionally clear that all the responsibility is on you, the driver, while you are using it. The messaging in the vehicle is concise and constant (not just the wall of text you read when opting in.) Eye tracking makes sure you are actually engaged and looking at the road, otherwise the car will disengage and you’ll eventually lose the ability to use FSD. Why is there never a mention of this in any coverage? Because it’s more salacious to believe people are asleep at the wheel.

Is it perfect? No, though it’s a lot better than many people seem to want the world to believe. It’s so easy to overlook the fact that human drivers are also very, very far from perfect.
I really hate youtube shorts. Can I completely turn them off? And whose idea was that??
With hobby balloons they are usually small enough to be exempt from FAA 101.

Even if they aren't, you just need permission from whoever controls your airspace (call them 20 minutes ahead of time) and only launch if there is very good visibility around the ascent path.
I'm curious, what kind of fees are hosts charging? I have a rental condo on AirBNB, our cleaning fee is $180, which is exactly what my cleaning company charges me to perform the clean.
In IT terms:

- Emacs/org-mode/org-roam managed notes, with org-attached stuff, linked stuff (mails included via ol-notmuch) and live links (elisp:)

- a timeline (a note per month, org-captured headings inside)

- topic notes filled from links to timelined notes (eventually with org-transcode)

- a limited query system via org-mode templated in-drawers k/v pairs and org-ql, like a link on an author name in a note who gives all noted books from him/her)

- boilerplate notes (previous systems notes, unfinished etc)

- counsel-rg (ripgrep, search&narrow style UI) for bare full-text search if needed

- roam_aliases abused a bit to match anything I've tried to search a heading without finding it immediately, for the next time I access it

It's NOT complex as might sound. It's not hyper-effective, lacking a kind of "data structure" who allow things like live queries, semantic search and other modern dreams and tools at a certain scale, but offer a quick enough way to store and retrieve information, a way to traverse it both to discover and to consolidate, eliciting things out of noted stuff and a sufficient "outline of anything", since this system in NOT just notes but also pretty anything, for instance my NixOS config is tangled from a dedicated note, so my zsh, Emacs is partially (I still have to complete the last post-bankruptcy re-write) tangled from org-mode notes (one per personal package-to-be) and so on.

Essentially this system give me a way to access almost all my infos in a search&narrow style instead of manually traversing a file system, having pure textual information under a common root and "the rest" aside I can quickly search without keeping a local YaCy/Recoll or some other Solr and co frontends and still have "metadata rich" links to non-org-mode files via org-mode links and headings.

If you're going to condemn an entire country based on local police killing a dog, surely the fact that police in your country frequently beat human beings to death is relevant.
It's a defect in Tesla's engineering teams to release that kind of thing. Their self driving is a fraud, it does not work.

Their CEO has claimed "it will be ready next year" for literally 8 years now. How much more bullshit is he going to sell?
There are all sorts of interested parties in creating doubt about the attack, and the most likely is of course the master of this, Russia. It also fits very well with past bad reporting from Hersh.

The detail makes the story more plausible, later debunking matters far less than the initial report and the uncertainty that this sows in people's minds.

Taking attention away from the true culprit definitely helps. And any ammunition that can be used to make democracies in the West have more doubt and internal wasted debate definitely helps whoever actually destroyed the pipeline.
This is an example of what I'm talking about. Journalist by and large are not in favor of editors slapping misleading headlines on their work. You are ascribing this practice to maliciousness when it is actually a reluctant response to incentives.
Anything that isn’t VS Code isn’t VS Code and won’t work just like VS Code.

I'm calling you out: you're being edgy for the sake of being edgy by saying it's grift.
In your steelmanned journalist example I think the discerning reader would be saying, "Is the agency themselves saying more fatalities are expected, is it the opposition, etc" The choice to omit is part of the narrative, because if people pick up that you're casually and selectively quoting opposition but making it sound pre-determined and official then they start viewing you as a folk singer.
Searching multiple sources with one query. It's really just an internal search engine.

Of course we don't have evidence. Neither side wants good evidence. It's a battle of ideology, not facts.

The gun banners don't want it because most criminals don't have legal guns in the first place. Nothing you can do short of disarming society will have much effect on the criminals and most of them don't want to admit that's their actual objective.

The gun nuts don't want it, either, because it will show some benefits of gun regulations (for example, locking up guns around kids helps.)
I do, but I also wouldn't trust Youtube to fact-check the news.
Once again this take is horseshit. Front page of r/news has 3 Ohio train stories, another story about a different train derailment, and ZERO balloon stories. Yesterday it was 7 ohio train stories and 2 balloon stories.

If you aren't seeing "the media" talk about this, it's because you choose to consume garbage media sources.
> Why isn't there a website where a student or hobbyist group can register their balloons before they launch?

My local school district launched a balloon. It's made four trips around the world. What good would registering the launch site have done?
Ah, I didn't know about that. Interesting.
I set up a scenario in chatGPT where there was bag designer named Dan, a buyer named Yuki, and the manufacturer named Manu. I got ChatGPT to provide Dan a set of questions for Yuki to create the design. I had it answer for Yuki given the bag was to be used for a job role (a computer network engineer like myself).

It was interesting trying to push the play, but also how it came out of nowhere constraints like the cost should be less than $150 and it should be waterproof even though I had given no specific direction around that.
Yup yup.
