Training is not actually required to be provided by anyone, manufacturer, government or otherwise. There’s plenty of online shops selling you the prescription which come with at best a short user guide that you can probably find online. They come with no aftercare, and you’re just given a device (usually unlocked) and the pressure recommendation preset. That’s it.

The current state of CPAP prescriptions is total bullshit.
> Tesla has a P/E ratio of 50 and annual earnings growth rate of 75%. It's hard to argue that's overvalued.

VW Group has had a 5 year maximum P/E ratio of 20.69; for Stellantis it's 4.11 (but they're less than 2 years old). True that Tesla is seeing some very good revenue growth, 51% for 2022 compared to 2021. But that revenue is at $86 billion, meanwhile VW Group are at $307 billion. It is flat out ridiculous how overpriced Tesla are, nothing justifies them having a higher market cap than say VW Group.
That is why we need laws.

When an individual or company takes advantage of a negative externality at the expense of wider society, it builds up. When everyone can’t afford not to take advantage of the same thing, the problem just grows - often the problems start to compound superlinearly.

They could for example maximize value by dump garbage in other people’s back yards or nuclear waste in other people’s lakes etc. At the very least, it should be disclosed publicly and honestly.

It is often the case that A and B voluntarily make a deal together (eg Snapple shifts to plastic bottles) but it may cost C a lot downstream. And as these negative externalities accumulate, they come back to haunt A and B, and all of society.

People acting in their own individual self interest, at the expense of others, can often lead to a tragedy of the unmanaged commons.

Several years ago, I was on a long solo drive and thinking about how I would like to be able to communicate with my computer in a subvocal manner. I stuck my pinky finger in my ear canal and "listened" to the deformations of the canal as I spoke, and thought "with a deformation scanner and good machine learning, this could totally work". Later, I registered the domain silentbuds.com to trial the idea but never pursued it. Just did some Googling and see that there are a few new research papers on this approach.
I had a similar experience with some random jar visualizing some algorithm which I downloaded from a professor’s website, which just worked.
It would create * an inflation in the offer; * a staggering amount of noise; * a bubble that would conclude with the creation of services like "Instant book generator".

I’ve seen a few websites recently with a pleasant newsletter experience.

The signup field is a few paragraphs down the article and as you scroll to it, the article dims (but is still readable) and highlights the newsletter section. As you keep scrolling the the dimming fades out and you can read the article again.

This is much less jarring than a pop up and is placed after the reader gets to read at their pace.

It's quite easy, really. It's not hard to find phones communicating with WhatsApp's servers, and the moment WhatsApp indicates it can't decrypt a message for a UK user, fines and arrests can be made. You can simplify it further with Signal and WhatsApp: any UK phone number that can't be decrypted by the golden state decryption key is a problem.

You can get around these restrictions by sending independently encrypted messages over chat apps and through VPNs or Tor using foreign phone numbers, but at the end of the day, a messaging service is only as useful as its network effect. If WhatsApp refuses to forward your encrypted messages because your mom or friend or boss doesn't always keep their circumvention VPN on, you don't have much of a choice.

Calling these bans "ending math" is like calling speeding tickets attempts to ban physics. People will still use these apps and people will still speed, but the majority of the population won't because when you're caught you're paying a hefty fine (or worse).

They forked it when the upstream project switched to using a non-open-source license. This is a reasonable thing to do if your goal is to run FOSS and if you have the resources to maintain it.

> Therefore, it is impossible to ever replace the HDMI blob used by this device. The device could be used without this blob, but you then forego use of the HDMI (or DisplayPort) functionality.

> Note about the MNT Reform: The MNT Reform went out of its way to avoid relying on this blob for its internal display. Rather than doing the obvious thing and connecting the i.MX8M's DisplayPort interface to the Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) display panel, they connected the internal display by using the i.MX8M's MIPI DSI interface (which is unaffected by this blob) to connect to a MIPI DSI to eDP converter chip, and then to the display (indeed, the fact that they went out of their way to ensure people can use the laptop without the blob certainly warrants praise). The external HDMI port can't be used without the blob, however.

For the causes of R&D layoffs, I'm curious about the split between (a) increased interest rates, vs. (b) changes to U.S. tax code that disallow 5-year amortization of software-development costs.

I'm only hearing people mention (a). So maybe (b) is less relevant than I'm imagining?

CORRECTION: I think I stated (b) exactly backwards. IIUC, previously a company could fully expense the cost of software development in the year it occurred, but now it must be amortized over 5 years.
After reading this comment I double-checked the website and, sure enough, there was five paragraphs of text I completely missed.

Go to another country where you don’t speak the language and try to communicate. You’ll do it with gestures, body language, facial expressions, grunts, tones - not words. I’m guessing that’s a lot closer to how animals communicate than spoken language.
> If you are responsible for the security posture and compliance in your organization, reading and acting on security assessments, and yet you do random changes based on random comments on forums, you deserve the blame.

It's not as easy. Of course experienced sysadmins know it's bullshit. The problem is that cybersecurity insurance policies require "immediate action" on alerts and no one, even assuming a competent CTO, wants to be stuck with the bill should a security incident arise and the insurance say "audit says no of your machines had mitigated issue xyz, claim denied". Deleting a flagged binary is evidence of mitigation.

The amount of utter bullshit, not to mention the literal spyware that is insurance-compliant antivirus solutions, that insurances force clients to comply with is insane.

The core problem is that insurances don't have the time to actually do deep dives to check if their clients have decent or no IT security. Hell, I'd wager everyone here knows of "that one server that never got updates, was in no inventory or whatever, and once the last disk failed suddenly everything else came crashing down". And so, insurances go with a 12 pound hammer to which everything is a nail, as it is the best way for them to be able to underwrite policies with the insane amount of coverage that GDPR and friends expose the clients to.

That's not really counterpoint, it's just a occasional problem behavior of some individuals that remote makes more difficult, like someone humming at their desk.

It's sort of like someone who writes a bunch of useless unit tests. The solution isn't for the team to scrap unit testing, it's for that person to be coached to not do that.

One big problem with remote is that it makes a whole lot of stuff that can happen organically in an office into intentional practices that require discipline, which means they're a lot easier to neglect.

Mach E. I've had plug and charge work every time I've used an EA charger on the first try. I've never failed to charge on an EA charger nor have I ever had to use an app to pay for it.

Most EVgo charging experiences have been plug and charge. I did have one experience a while ago that needed an app but that was one of their older chargers which even still had their old logo on it. All their newer chargers have successfully done plug and charge.

I've had tap to pay work with Google Wallet at Road Ranger (Freewire) and Francis Energy chargers.

> You mentioned taping a card, not just plugging in

That's why I included the language "as well". I've used a number of different brands of EV chargers.

Out of all the times I've used a public DCFC, I had to use an app maybe 10% of the time. And of that, it was only earlier into my ownership, I haven't had to use an app in about a year. Every charger I've used in the last year has been either plug and charge or supported credit cards directly.

Not to say that modern cinema is perfect, but somebody born at the 60' or 70's would think the 80-90's style is shallow too. Cinema has been getting quicker since it was created.

Very good question; the original review that prompted (pun intended) me to search the author up certainly proves that at least one of his books are from ChatGPT: https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B0BWVH451G/ref=acr_dp...

And obviously he did not really even attempt to hide anything. Whether it's legal or not: I don't think we have a clear, 100% obvious understanding of the consequences right now, but I'm pretty sure OpenAI couldn't care less. Suing people who use ChatGPT to publish meaningless books would surely not do them any good. Who else might care enough?
> You can be sure that the people interested in conversions run analytics and A/B testing on everything. If these pop-ups did a poor job and there was a better alternative, you can be sure that everyone would have already migrated to that alternative.

And this is the problem with modern corporate logos. They think if the A/B numbers are trending up, it must always be a good thing. Nobody does real UX testing like Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, etc used to do. You know where they actually track down a non-technical person, sit them down in front of a computer, open up the website/app, see what the user does, then ask about how the experience was. This is UX testing and will lead to meaningful impacts. A/B tests are inane methodologies that are formatted to confirm whatever preconceived notions upper management wanted to hear anyways.

A more concrete piece of anecdata; my upper management told me they wanted us to boost the priority for sales eligible customers. I asked if this means we would prioritize people not paying for our service (since they're eligible for sales) and de-prioritize our already paying customers (who are not eligible). Upper management basically said, "yup that will happen. But it will increase our conversion rates which is what we care about". News flash, ruining your company's reputation for some shitty KPIs will damage your company in the long term.

Prioritizing shitty A/B tests will eventually ruin your company. It may not be immediate, but the slow and inevitable degradation of a useful product will lead to utter contempt and disdain from your users and they will switch to an alternative that actually prioritizes UX. See: Medium -> Substack, Microsoft -> Apple, and more I can't think of off the top of my head. We forget that the reason the iPhone was so wildly successful was because Steve Jobs was obsessed with creating a meticulously crafted UX. We forget that Nintentdo shenanigans are tolerated only because the games are lovingly crafted and built by people that care about their target audience. We forget that Amazon took off because of Customer Obsession, among other admirable qualities (that unfortunately aren't followed as well anymore). Keep treating your users as dumb cattle and they'll wise up and leave. The users aren't stupid, they're just waiting for a viable alternative so they can finally dump the shitty product built by companies prioritizing all the wrong metrics.

It certainly can when they become overwhelming. People are less likely to get involved in the community around them when it doesn't represent them, which results in things like lower societal cohesion. Less social trust; we've all seen this everyday. People would rather take a video of someone getting beat up than go to help them, risking their own skin. They do not identify with that person. They're just another body.

Things like not feeling represented in your own community due to the division leads to social isolation "at best" and extreme intolerance at worst.

Not everyone wants to identify with consumption which is what the multicultural world essentially demands. In egalitarianism your heritage, roots, genes are not very important.
What "is" important is how much money you have, what you consume, the fleeting brands you like, etc.
