Booking.com - the biggest travel website in the world, already does this and has been for years.
They mainly charge via greater conversion fees (ie a bigger slice of the booking), as opposed to a cost per click model (which I think is Amazon’s preferred model).
This way, they have a huge incentive on making the ad as relevant as possible, otherwise they’ve wasted inventory through not monetizing the click at all (whereas cost per click means you make money regardless of wether the user clicks through).
The Applesauce is at the mercy of the analog board in the drive. Artifacts of the signal processing done there are going to be reflected in the data stream the Applesauce receives from the drive.

A more authentic representation of the flux on the disk could be made by amplifying and sampling the analog waveform straight off the drive heads. A variety of signal processing functions could be applied to that waveform vs. what the electronics on the drive will do.

It's really refreshing to see a non-Home Assistant solution. Obviously it's great software that meets a lot of needs, but it's basically a complete monoculture, to the point home automation is really only interesting to read about if someone is doing something else.
I tried to use FreeCAD once because I needed to generate some G-code for my CNC router.

I ultimately wrote my own G-code generator because that was less frustrating than memorizing the sequence of steps necessary to do anything in FreeCAD. It seemed like the answer to "how do I do X" was always "you can't do that; those two workbenches aren't compatible."

The argument I can see is that 14 is the minimum feature set that every engineer knows how to use, and before 14 you are missing some of the "core" features of the language that are widely used today. By contrast, some things in 17 are still foreign to some engineers, although there are no real "breaking" changes from 14 to 17 (in terms of the model of how to think about the language). 20 and 23 are a bit of a mess in terms of support.

There are older versions (no new features) and then there are older versions (no security updates). Most security updates don't break compatibility and can be installed without modifying anything that takes that version as a dependency.

This works as long as compatiblity-breaking changes are kept rare so that you can feasibly have someone doing security updates for each of the incompatible versions.

> Lights and lightbulbs are maybe the biggest no-brainer thing you could automate around your home, at least in my eyes. Automate them to wake you up, turn off when you leave the house, turn on when it gets dark in the evening, when you're away, and so on

Not a no-brainer to me. I installed motion-activated lights in certain rooms of my house, but they aren't connected to the network. They turn on when you get close, turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity. Seems to cover all the above use cases except using them as an alarm. I don't use an alarm anyway, so no big deal to me. In general, smart home automation always seemed like a lot of money, a lot of homework, and fairly dubious benefits to me.
The "if you hold your iPhone 4 in a particularly contrived way, reception suffers" thing was a total farce.

Apparently you had to use your iPhone 4 without a case and press a finger horizontally over the antenna line. I wasn't even able to trigger it in that pathological way. It was about as realistic as complaining your laptop doesn't work while being roasted in a microwave oven.

There are countless reasons to dislike Apple, including many factual reasons and of course personal taste. Not the biggest fan myself.

But when I see that iPhone 4 antenna issue mentioned, I know there's a particular sort of sentiment behind it.

The QC is my go to pedal these days. I have a Helix (rack) and a Kemper (rack). While there have been some hiccups on software it really is a solid little box.
Interesting. I have taken it for years as well. It’s one of only two supplements that I’ve ever noticed a very noticeable positive difference from (magnesium is the other, which for me has a very noticeable ability to help me sleep deeper, ie keeps me from waking at night).

I take lions mane most nights before bed. Haven’t noticed any weird dreams, nor the other effects around libido or motivation. I’ve been a chronic bad sleeper most of my life, and regularly would wake up feeling terribly in my head (headache, etc) after a subpar night of sleep. Lions mane has completely removed that feeling - my mind is clear in the morning and ready to go. Especially on nights when I go to bed extra late, I know if I take this stuff before bed I’ll be pretty good still in the morning.

Years ago I suggested some friends and family try it and nobody has had equally noticeable effects if any, so I no longer do. These things are just super individualized for whatever reason. Cool to hear some others here have benefitted too. I’m not sure if it’s the properties where it helps with inflammation or what it is that benefits me specifically. Would love to know. Also what side effects there are from long term use.

TIL that apparently both Stanford-Binet and Wechsler have classification systems which both define "average" as 90-109. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_classification and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford%E2%80%93Binet_Intelli... (the latter includes the latest scale for Standford-Binet)

Google provides many hits of people using average to mean within one standard deviation, or 85-115, but in a few minutes of searching I couldn't figure out a proper authority for that.

As a practical example, POWER architecture uses the densely-packed decimal encoding[1] to encode decimal digits within its IEEE 754-compliant decimal floating-point format[2].

IEEE 754 also supports encoding decimal integers as binary, by converting the entire decimal integer to a single binary integer (i.e., not by storing each decimal digit as a separate binary number).

> designed-to-fail Ink Waste Tank or Ink Waste Pad

Then buy one with a replaceable pad like the Epson 5150. The replacement costs....drum roll
... $10.

My last color laser had a non serviceable fuser rated for 20,000 pages and that's what I got out of it.

I replaced it with a color ecotank and it's just a better product. Look up the price of my ink vs the price of comparible color toner and there is simply no comparison. Even color toner generics, which are not perfect, are more expensive.

It's fine to have scepticism over ink printers, or any printers. But it's not all rainbows and sunshine with other options either (other than a basic black laser I guess)

> Suburbs are not inherently unsustainable or terribly designed. Some are, but some cities are too.

I would guess that most suburbs are financially unsustainable in the long term because they pay less in taxes than it costs to maintain their infrastructure. Strong towns talks about this in great detail.

I hate those. They always turn off when I'm in the room. Then I'm waving my arms around every 15 minutes and it's more of a pain than just switching on the lights as I enter a room.
I’ll be the first to talk about market failures but the mere existence of friction does mean markets stop working. There’s some amount of friction with every market interaction. There is absolutely a market failing when it comes to ISPs but it’s not really friction that’s the issue, switching ISPs in an area where you actually have options is a few phone calls and scheduling a time for someone to do your wiring.

Now if every store in a 100 mile radius only had Coke, then switching to Pepsi just got a lot harder despite the two products being literal drop-in replacements for one another.

AxeFX is absolutely insane in amount of control it gives you over your tone. I would say far too much control. Probably the best tool for a tone tinkerer.
Wow, what a sanctimonious, holier than thou attitude.

I can easily afford an Apple phone, it's weird that you would even mention the price because they're not expensive compared to top end Android phones. But I wouldn't touch one with a 10ft pole.

I'm a power user who customizes everything and needs to do lots of nerdy things like use dvorak keyboard layout, ssh to my home server, use apps connected to services on my home server, use an offline password manager, "sideload" all kinds of shit that would never be allowed in their crappy dongle-addicted consumer-hostile "ecosystem", write my own apps, etc, etc. I prefer to have local backups/encryption keys, and as little cloud profile as possible.

I'm already irritated even just thinking about being forced to use an iPhone. "Quality is superior", HAAHAHA. I've actually worked supporting macOS stuff before. HAHAHAHA.

Yes I know I'm not the target market for Apple crap but Apple's success encourages other corporations to do the same bullshit.

I love computers, always have. I always thought Computers should make human lives better, more enjoyable and more connected, not be a mechanism to segment society and shovel more disposable dongles and earpods.

So I'm insistent on the government "invading" the Apple ecosystem because the Apple ecosystem is an anticompetitive cancer that infects other corporations, normalizing terrible behavior and creating arbitrary limits on the usefulness of computers where there should be none.

Of course it's more lucrative to milk your victims... That's why when corporations step over the line, governments need to step in. Yes I know how rarely that works properly.

Fuck Apple and fuck Apple apologists. They're ruining technology one dongle at a time.
The 500% markup should also get you reliability and a decent chance that your tech is familiar with it were you ever to be on stage. Look around, everyone uses the same stuff, for the most part.
Is that really the case here, or hyperbole? Is someone taking all the old copies from the used book store and destroying them? Is the library of Congress tossing out their first editions? What about non-sensitivity revisions, wouldn’t those also be Orwellian erasures of history?

The originals weren’t meant to be offensive, now they are to some. Publishers don’t want that. We’re talking childrens books here… people just won’t buy them if they think it will negatively impact a child.

Its culture war propaganda plain and simple. Nobody is dying on a hill over a character’s description in an old Goosebumps rag. I doubt anyone even remembers the character if the character was plump or cheerful, they remember the part about the ghost and the werewolf.

> Which ISP would you pick, the one that works with every conferencing system, or the one that deliberately blocks some of those conferencing systems in the small markets where they have a monopoly?

They don't block the conferencing systems in the regions where they have an ISP monopoly, they block them for all their users because they have a monopoly on the network path to those users. The conferencing system needs to be able to reach 100% of its own customers' users or they'll be bleeding customers faster than the ISP does, so they blink first and pay, after which the ISP's customers have no reason to switch because the conferencing system is working.
Sigh. I knew this was coming. I almost ended my message with "Inb4, WellActually, this is what corporations have always done" but thought would be TOO cynical.

Look. I led with a very high level summary of my other perspectives to signal that someone can hold all the above thoughts and still believe that the re-editing of existing books without the consent of their author is blatantly not OK. That it is not a contradiction or a "Woke SJW vs Free Speech Patriot" issue.

I am not interested in a debate on the rest of the positions.
Rest assured, I do not agree with you.

Pride is important. Corporations showing that they support pride and LGBTQ customers and employees is important. Especially in reference to the corporations that deliberately show that they do NOT care about those things.

Diversity is important. And while tokenism is bad, highlighting your commitments to diversity is also important. Now, if your corporation's response at the first sign of a tech downturn is to go "DEI was a zero interest rate phenomenon" (as many have), sure, it's hypocritical.

But DEI, Pride, and LGBTQ support make financial sense because most people are supportive of these concepts. Most people are NOT supportive of Roald Dahl and R.L. Stein being re-edited.
The top Amazon laser printers are monochrome Brother models. You can have wifi or duplex for $120. Both together costs $150. If you want color, duplex and wireless, it is $280. (Though I wonder if these have chipped toner or not.)

It was similar 10 years ago when we bought our Samsung laser. These prices seem very reasonable, especially if you subtract out the cost of included drums and toner. Am I missing something?

Well, actually Japan's interest rates haven't been falling they have been below the inflation rate (eg mostly below 1) for the last 30 years. That is literally the lost 3 decades since 89, when they had a huge housing crash.

No housing is not a financial asset in Japan.

However, China where they have built massive quantities of housing, it is an exceptionally expensive financialized asset, because that is where lending went.
Some of the calculations they made were utterly bizarre. Like assuming the child wasn't paying anything forward until "retirement" of the parent.

> haven't books been changing forever though?

Let's not use the wiggle room for correcting typos or translating from middle to modern English as an excuse to change the meaning of the written words while passing it off as the same book by the same author (and hiding behind "Nth edition" to deceive readers that the changes are insignificant).

And in as much as that falsification has been happening forever, it was just as wrong then as what is happening now.
