I should not have said that so literally but it was more an example of how the physical driver can limit these things.
I'd hope that it is a legal thesis, because it doesn't seem like current law would allow this. The problem may be more in implementation details.
Sure yeah, for now. Just saying I literally use it to mine out things to confirm (/ not believe until I do) and so far it has very rarely led me astray and even then it's been small nuance. It's striking.

Yes. There was a nearby dry river bed clearly visible in the video.

It's a moot point though because it was a deliberate stunt.

As you said you're joking, but N02 causes the loss of the body's ability to uptake B12 for several days afterward. There is no safe way to take it daily in basically any amount that is noticeable, and supplements are only effective beforehand (quite a few hours before so they have time to be absorbed)

Also, where the hell is the pencil? Seriously, that is one of the big edges to iPads. I'll complain that the pencil should do more but the only reason they are getting away with that is that there's no decent option outside. The other thing I use a lot is the screen sharing (second monitor) and air drop (Google has an air drop alternative). Google is catching up on the aesthetic side that Apple did well but I'm often surprised at missing features. Tbh, I can say this about a lot of ecosystems so this isn't that harsh of a criticism. Though I have to ask what all these engineers are doing if we're not developing new features, even low hanging fruit.

Absolutely, the main reason I want 4K so bad is for crisp text and vector rendering. I actually do have a non-backlit tablet with around 220 DPI, it's the reMarkable 2[0] and the text still looks pretty fuzzy due to that pixel density (it's nowhere near print quality). Print quality is usually around 300–600 DPI at the low end.

Agreed. This seems sensible. I'm unsure exactly what NY is asking for here.

How sensible will the ask be, barring weight discrimination? It's hard to predict the ramifications. I'm not opposed to the general idea, I just hope we can find a sensible path for it. Hopefully with ease & grace, & not overmuch bedlam.
the real issue is not about what I mean by "Need"

the real difficulties in these arguments come from defining (or trying to) what we mean by "this society", in part because society has many distinct (but intertwined) components

in regards to food, and those things we need but cannot automate, it's not so simple.

because of how capitalism works at dropping costs, in many cases what we actually get is lesser quality things that we absolutely need (like food).

When this gets really really nasty is when applied to education. made cheaper because everybody needs one, but also made shittier, thereby creating people who cannot refuse certain propositions and choices.

shitty education (shitty food) directly contributing to the continued 'availability' of poor people who cannot refuse shitty deals. in this light it could almost be concluded that this system is self-sustaining? ugh.

This is not quite related to the article but it struck a chord.

I started losing weight around a year and a half ago. I lost around 68kg, or 149 pounds.

I’ve been surfing almost every day for a year now.

I also took some time off work and almost no social media use.

It’s pretty amazing how one feels like the “typical” obese programmer with a stressful job and how you can actually feel.

If you’re financially stable enough, I can’t recommend enough to take some time off and take care of yourself, you probably don’t know how bad it feels right now and you probably don’t know how good you can feel if you’re anything like me.

I basically haven’t touched a computer since December, and I’m not sure how it will be to go back, I miss some things about programming and I’m considering different challenges to keep that part of my brain active but that allows me to keep surfing daily.

Don’t be afraid of the other side is my only point, it’s truly life and perspective changing.

Edit: btw, if anyone has any ideas of how to work very few hours a week as a pretty decent full stack web dev without too high of a financial aspirations, I’m all ears, people seem too look for all or nothing employees only.
> Are there designer microphones like this made by other companies anywhere else in the world? No.

You have apparently missed out on over 100 years of designer microphones built by companies exactly like this. The design of their mic is an apparent homage to old Neumann and Rode designs. Besides them, AKG, Beyerdynamics, Oktava, Electro Voice, Behringer, Buchla and dozens of smaller design shops have been doing this for decades. It's like claiming that "nobody else was making colorful hipster synths" before the OP-1 came out.
It is however, even easier to get inaccurate information. Most recently, see what happened to the Cochrane review on "Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses". Mass media have readily interpreted it as "masks do not work" and even media which was not that hysterical https://www.health.com/cochrane-review-do-masks-work-7112631 had "A new Cochrane review, published last month, sought to answer how effective masks are at preventing COVID-19."

In reality, as https://www.cochranelibrary.com/web/cochrane/content?urlTitl... points out

> this review did not assess at the impact of wearing a mask in comparison with not wearing a mask.

Indeed the wording of the review was confusing but still.
Just going to point out real quick that the lower left vertical on a 7 segment display does in fact come extremely close to directly encoding even/odd. Write them all out and see for yourself. Only the number 4 breaks the pattern. That would only leave two bits not directly encoded in segments as far as anyone has noticed.
You're only talking about DNS.

Of course I am, that's the only way to know what the glue records actually are. Naturally there is the registrar side, but none of that means anything, when you're working with DNS, and need to know what is configured at the root server level.

Which is all that matters when you're doing DNS lookups.

My point here is, that using whois won't tell you that reliably. Only a direct root server lookup will.

What we're saying is not really that far apart, as we're both agreeing that whois is not the same as root server glue records.
I wonder if there is a cheaper portable monitor version of that tablet.

Mass homelessness is new to Australia.

It's used to be a small number of people here and there.

The obsession with owning real estate has turned our society into landlords and renters, with renters paying the mortgages on their landlords investments - mortgages which are spiraling up due to interest rate rises.

Nearly all the members of parliament have extensive housing portfolios so they have disincentive to fix it. In fact recently house prices were going down, so the ALP government just fast tracked in 715,000 migrants, which has fixed that problem nicely.

Australia was already in the worst housing crisis ever in its history. When asked how the 715,000 migrants will impact the housing crisis, the ALP government simply says that migration does not impact housing, and that the housing crisis is not the fault of migrants.

Previously even the slightest questioning of migration risked you being labelled a racist, but with the new government fast tracking 715,000 and planning for 1.5 million migrants in the next five years, it's has become a huge community issue and many are standing up and asking why we are importing vast numbers of people when the country does not have the housing or resources to support them.

The people at the bottom of society - who don't look great on a rental application form - what are they doing? I don't know what happens to them. It's awful and the ALP government really don't care.

I've come to deeply hate government in general. The ALP is meant to be the left wing party that looks after ordinary people. Instead it has turned out to be just another bunch of rich politicians feathering their own nests.

Perhaps you could benefit from a humanities education to learn how to respond an argument and construct your own.
>>You can have a private militia, so long as you don't take your operations to the public realm. And if it gets to the point where your militia is useful, then I don't think that law matters anyways.

That sounds kind of self-contradictory. If your 'militia in the private realm' is doing nothing, it seems to be a meaningless organization, or at best a proto-organization, and if it is a useful militia, as in threatening the power of the state or federal govt, that's clearly illegal.

And if you believe that requiring a basic firearms permit to be unconstitutional, it seems that that standard might only apply to 18th-century weapons. An AR or even a good hunting rifle is more deadly than a cannon of those times (and also required more fiddly knowledge & skill to shoot effectively).

I've seen no law or proposal that is anything more than a modest inconvenience for any sane, competent, and responsible person. I don't see how any of the founders would be objecting to that at any level. And this society is both much more complex and the weapons orders of magnitudes more powerful.

And yeah, I agree SCOTUS has enough problems for everyone, about which we could commiserate until the cows come home, and then some.
The drugs that have shortages are almost always generics. Those companies don't advertise, they run on razor thin margins - which is exactly why you have shortages because these companies will often just stop making a drug if it's not profitable.

So if I lift a candy bar at a 7-11, am detained and questioned and the investigator notices chocolate smudges on my cheeks and uses that as reason to have my stomach pumped to produced destroyed evidence after I claimed I didn’t eat it, they can stick me in the slammer for 20 years for lying and destroying evidence?

There is the idea of commensurate punishment. 20 years for destroying evidence for something that while serious didn’t defraud anyone, maim anyone or cause damage I think is unreasonable and unconstitutional.

I've seen those signs before. They were posted in rapidly gentrifying Hispanic areas, probably targeting those with weak English or financial literacy.

The interesting things is that the signs appeared to be handwritten with a black marker but all of them looked exactly the same. There were commercially produced but they took the effort to hide it.
Sure, but I'm wondering if we can come up with a way to solve this problem.
"Apple ships their tablet with a stylus"

Huh?
Definitely disagree here. In the system you’re proposing it’s a no-brainer to tamper with evidence: you won’t end up worse than you are and might even get out of it entirely! You’re basically incentivizing criminals to tamper with evidence—you clearly didn’t think this through.
> Is the maximum sentence particularly useful information? How does this fact aid my understanding of the severity of what he's done?

In this case, probably not - 20 years is pretty stiff, and the crime implies that typical sentences are much less than that.

But if the maximum sentence was say... 6 months instead; or just a fine. Yeah - I think that would be useful information.
For some definition of useless, I suppose. Without trying to be contrary, most of what I (we) know is 'useless' in terms of whether my knowing it has a "useful" impact on my life. Knowing that there's an equation governing gravitational attraction doesn't really impact my life experientially. It's true that if you're trying to design any system that involves a Carnot cycle, it becomes useful, but given no such job description, it's not 'useful' information. Much of science _is_ useful in our STEM-oriented world, to those using it.

I think some of the reality is that regardless of most other factors in our lives, love and relationships are a Big Deal, so stories in that realm have in some small way more usefulness. Thus, I know the plot of Romeo and Juliet better than I can give a summary of the Second Law.
Depends on what you consider cheap and how janky you're willing to go. I put together a $350 22U SysRack this week. Not my first choice, tolerances are high, everything is flimsy, but it works on a budget.

We have a spare StarTech rack like this one:

(It's so solid we've had multiple UPS and Dell PowerEdge in it .. probably hundreds of kgs, not even a small flex. 10/10 from us for the rack)

We're looking for equipment that we can fill it with to convert it to a portable lab, like power supplies and oscilloscopes that will mount to it.

The rack mountable options we found for power supplies, scopes etc were starting at ~2-6k per unit plus like 1k rack mounting kit, but ideally we were looking for max 1.5k or so.
I bought a local house in 2004 that suffered a failed furnace in deep winter (with great damage) for $17k. I put another $10k into it for repairs, and rented it.

I started getting postcards around 2012: "I/we want to buy your house." I have a pile of them. None of them offered more than $20k.

I had pandemic tenant problems; they didn't pay during the last six months, and the damage was substantial. I repaired the damage, then sold it on contract for $60k; I'm done with rental property.

I'm still getting calls and postcards.

I think there's an in-between that's missing here. Folks who design electronic circuits don't typically compose a circuit directly from the properties of the parts. Instead, there are a lot of slightly higher level design elements, kind of like algorithms in programming, that you combine to make something work. Examples are the many basic op amp circuits, lower level circuits such as transistor gain stages, and so forth. Studying enough of those circuits, you begin to recognize them in schematics, and this gives you a clue as to what the design is doing. I'm not sure that there's a good way around spending a lot of time memorizing those patterns.

There are also simplified operational models of some components such as transistors and op amps.

Assembling kits is a valuable first step, in that it gets your hands working. Being a bit more confident about your construction practices helps when you later try to make your own stuff, because you don't have to wonder if something like a solder joint is working. The more you can trust that your build is modeled by your schematic, the better a chance of locating the place where it isn't. That's your failure point.

I was a physics major in college, but a year of electronics was part of our curriculum. It was taught from The Art of Electronics, first edition. We were also required to buy the National Semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook, and a book on a mainstream IC logic family, which was TTL at the time. That stuff is all available online. I was fascinated with this stuff, so I read the applications handbook from cover to cover. IC application notes are still a good thing to study.

You can take another route. There's gobs of stuff you can do with a microcontroller board and pre-made peripherals such as sensors and actuators. It won't turn you into an analog jock, but it's a legitimate design method and might suit your fancy.
Also, unlike the article says, element is not a peer to peer chat app like Briar is. It requires a server which can federate and be self hosted but the chats and the element app itself are not peer to peer.

I don't really understand why it is banned there. Matrix is a great open chat network. It solves many issues with commercial walled garden chat apps. Many of which also can't be intercepted but are not in the list of banned apps.

Also, element is only one of the many matrix clients around. Fluffychat, Schildichat etc are some others. Why only ban this one?

I wonder if it got a bad reputation due to its previous name which was very poorly chosen ("riot"). Element is a nice name IMO, as was the first name that it had: vector. I never understood why they dropped that in the first place.

Ps Google recently banned Element as well from the store but reinstated it a few days later.

In Go, you can take the address of a local variable and return it. It will be allocated on the heap automatically.

This is weird for C++ programmers that think about the stack vs heap, but perfectly natural for Go. In Go, stack allocation for variables is a compiler optimization, not part of the language semantics. Go also only uses scope for visibility, not RAII.
