Star Trek vs. The Expanse kind of stuff. I love it. All we need is to shake the aura of geekiness out of if, then turn that into actionable ventures most folks can relate to and profit from.

Soooo, let's trash the Solar System to no end while hoping we'll use most of the benefits turning our own world into the living paradise it deserves to be. Or more likely, die while pretending we could do better than we actually do.
There's a pixel diff linked to from the image caption.

Point well taken. The a-theoretical nature of the social sciences (and many others) has come up before. "A problem in theory" discusses this:

I also want to make the esp32 controller itself more hackable in future, but I don't want to promise anything because that's quite a lot of work for me.

I'll ship within Europe as soon as I have bootstrapped the 7000 Euro necessary for CE certification.

Unfortunately, my dear home country of Germany isn't a very friendly place for small hardware boostrappers. :P

iOS is a supported target in Visual Studio Professional on Windows.
The problem I'm attempting to approach is that there is plenty of legitimate, genuine, not necessarily harmful to a child content on say youtube and twitch, but these kind of sites are often skirting lines around sexually explicit content for kids, because it's hella profitable. Look at the "youtube kids" nonsense with pregnant elsa, or the "just chatting" and "hot tub" sections of twitch where influencers have quite literally flashed their audience, "by accident", while they make hundreds of thousands of dollars from actual children.

When television was invented, there were various societal reasons (ie prudishness) you could be pretty sure that your child watching TV wouldn't be exposed to anything "too heinous" even if the parent put zero effort into parenting.

Sure, we don't have to be as absurdly puritan as we were back in the fifties but at the same time maybe "require every parent to be a near expert in childhood development and media consumption and whether your teenager is watching too many boobs in places there maybe shouldn't be boobs" isn't the panacea some people seem to think. At the very least, companies shouldn't be taking money from kids through the medium of softcore porn, and arguably they shouldn't even if they are funded by advertising to those kids instead of like "bits" and donations.

I don't really think we should allow "selling softcore porn and sex to teenagers" as a business model. Porn isn't inherently bad, but kids aren't mentally developed enough to make smart decisions about paying for porn.

If your suggested solution is "watch every single thing your child does 24/7", that's not a solution, and it won't work for most people. We shouldn't be leaving less privileged families to be freely exploited just because they don't have the time, or resources to properly moderate their children's media consumption. Mom works 80 hours a week, when is she supposed to research how to keep her child from being seduced by sex workers and parasocial relationships?
This might actually get me to start working out, it's exactly the kind of resource I've been looking for. I'd wager you wouldn't say "no, keep not working out", right? If it gets people motivated to start, why not?
Native support for the Microsoft suite of tools is something we plan to add fairly soon! We're a small team, and currently swamped with connector/feature requests so no promises on the timeline.

Ticketing platforms like ServiceNow fall under a similar category, although a bit lower priority in my mind.
From the conclusion: "In conclusion, this review presents evidence that excess LA in the food supply might adversely affect the brain. The potential benefit of LA lowering merits detailed evaluation in well-designed and adequately-powered clinical studies, to test whether this translates into tangible reductions in the risk of neurodegenerative disorders and neurodevelopmental abnormalities at a population level."

So eat more Omega 3 and not too much Soy Bean Oil... maybe. I do wonder about diet just being another thing for people to argue about on the Internet, we know so little about the interplay between gut microbiome, food, genetics and health and doing proper clinical trials (in humans) to have some certainty is nearly impossible.
So, not a single example? Just "talking to a lot of other people." Got it...
> How can one rationalize the fact that a photon can be a wave and a particle at the same time?

Photons are not particles or waves. They are similar to classical particles in certain respects and similar to classical waves in other respects, but what they're really like is a localized excitation of the electromagnetic field. Because that's what they are.

Physics by analogy simply does not work. If you understand the math, analogies can occasionally be a helpful signpost. If you don't, they're worse than useless.
Viewed in this light, grade inflation really hasn’t kept up.
This looks like a very nice product and it matches exactly something that I've been wanting and thinking about. So I tried to order one (using PayPal), but it doesn't seem like you're shipping to Norway. Are you planning to open up for shipments to more countries any time soon?

You've never seen Java (or C#) code where a bunch of unrelated functions belong to some meaningless class like "Utility"?

I do think both languages would benefit from allowing/ encouraging namespace-level functions (C# comes close with static classes but that's pretty clearly an abuse of any logical definition of the word "class"). However I probably wouldn't use them for implementing "controllers" in web applications - while I tend to agree it's not a good use of OOP, having key information about the current request/response available via properties of the current controller (and hence kept separate from function-level parameters that represent semantics specific to the endpoint being handled) plus various built-in functionality at the framework-supplied "controller" level isn't something I'd see a benefit in giving up.

But I'll admit there are few cases where a single controller class with methods for various CRUD like operations on a particular resource type makes any sense from an OOP perspective. I did think for C# what might actually work is to be able to define extension methods on the framework Controller class and have an automatic routing mechanism based on convention (e.g. if you defined an extension function "Get_Widget" then GET requests to /widgets would be automatically routed to it. Or it could be based on the namespace). But in general it would likely make the code more verbose (lack of implicit "this") for questionable gain.
I've tried to run facebook ads for a non-profit lately, and damn they make it hard to give them money. It might be that our "page" is in a weird state, but it's just impossible to figure out how to set things up.

Like, there are so many portals. Ad stuff in facebook itself, the adsmanager web page, the facebook business page. And they all look different based on if you're acting on behalf of yourself or your "page". And some things you can only do on one of those three sites, and only if acting as the correct user. And you have to constantly switch between them to get anything done. Add a spending account on your private profile (for some reason..), then verify as your page, then submit ID as yourself, then create the ad as your page, then have it not be verified but only show in one of the three sites the button on how to fix it etc etc.

Just insane. If I weren't technical and stubborn I would never have figured it out. No idea how small businesses can give them money and not outright be scammed.
Ha, lol. I just sling code, man. I was just trying to give you some insight into how things work.
Made a script that logged into as many computers as possible at university computers to fake clicks on porn ads. Mid 90’s. Not my proudest moment.

> But you can't just "turn off" cell tower associativity on your phone.

That's what airplane mode does, because it's not good for the cell network if you can be heard by two base stations that share bands (and are normally too far away to interfere with each other) and easily happens when you have altitude.

You can usually turn on WiFi/BT w/o exiting airplane mode, because lower-powered radio devices are typically permitted in situations that cell itself isn't.

sim-less phones typically don't maintain association, because it costs battery to do so, and they only start talking to towers during an emergency call. However, there is no requirement one way or the other.

The easiest way to tell is if the clock of a sim-less phone drifts over a month or two from something it was sync'd to, note that using GPS at all will often sync the clock, and some devices will "wake" the GPS module to allow it to keep an up-to-date almanac and tracking (the math kind, not the surveillance kind) parameters, so it is best to disable location entirely, instead of just avoiding using it.

If the phone has been used for a long time with a reliable time source available (tower/gps/ntp/etc), it may have a pretty good drift calibration, so it may take quite some time for drift to be visible.
i wonder how this stuff is dealt with during hiring conversations like when you have a project already …. or how acquihires happen
Thanks! Anywhere I can get updates for Europe certification? Rare case I'd subscribe to a newsletter if you mentioned it in there.
Top reason to use RSA for me, as with most tech I use, is its longevity.

Lindy Effect has been the best predictor of what will still work in five years.
It does dry out though. Electrolytic can caps are not hermetically sealed.
>Haqqani noted that the biggest draw of Twitter was this lax moderation policy.

The moderation policy may be "lax," but if you are perceived to be an enemy, they will just screw with your account. It's an editorialization aimed at account owners' perceived public identity. This is sabotage- which has far worse potential than strict moderation.
A little anecdote that made me realize the college I went to was running a racket:

I remember getting lunch freshman year and one day, the signs in the student union cafeteria were printed on poster board and the next they were flat screen TVs. When I asked the on duty manager why, they just said "because it's more eco friendly."

My entire world view shifted in that moment.
Could you say more? ECC's trapdoor function isn't prime factoring; it's a variant of the discrete log problem.

Yeah the getting banned from Google Ads is really just a side note to the whole web projects story. The author also isn't very knowledgeable when it comes to Google Ads to begin with, so it's indeed very clickbaity.

Not really a chicken and egg scenario imho.

1. It runs iOS and iPad apps.

2. The simulator is available and several devs have already ported and added visionOS specific feature support with it.

3. They’re supposedly making developer units available to applicants starting sometime this month.

4. They’ve already had several third party developers they’ve showed in their press releases

—-

Which is to say , I don’t think they will necessarily have a chicken and egg problem at launch which is still months away.

So there’s no real motivation to open up their development to competing platforms.
Questions like when have you been happiest in your career? Unhappiest? A bunch of stuff about their core values and examples of how you or previous organizations have reflected those, have not reflected those, when two came into tension, etc.
Not for the sort of technology we have today using the best known algorithm. The approach relies on the idea of sieving. Sieving takes a lot of memory. As an example, the most recent 829 bit factoring record used multi GB for each processor during the parallel phase and 1.5 TB for the final matrix reduction phase. Neither phase would really get much out of a bunch of processors attached to just a few GB.
> Tortious interference, as the name implies, is a matter of civil courts and could open up the person doing it to being sued, depending on the circumstances under which it happens.

True.

> It doesn't mean they're breaking any laws.

Yes, it does. Civil law is law (and a larger portion of the law than criminal law is), and torts are as much violations of law as crimes.

Norway requires CE, as far as I know. I don't have that certification yet, it's quite expensive, about 7000 Euro.

It pains me that I cannot sell within Europe, I can see the sales I am losing.

Hopefully I can bootstrap those funds before the holiday season :D

Unless you were 'on the team', it was a bleak place where authoritarians promoted their lies using what power they had to silence dissenters. COVID vaccine never prevented infection, but saying this would get you banned. Discussing lab leak would get you banned. Threads will never be able to deliver to them this power to control others because people are free to discuss what they like elsewhere now.
Ok, Supercharger v4 specs say 600 kW. A bit confused, perhaps there will be two different versions; 600 kW for Cybertruck and 1 MW for Tesla Semi.

Some V4 stalls have been already installed, apparently max. 615 kW unless limited by available power. See: https://www.google.com/search?q=installed+tesla+v4+superchar...

So it can do up to 615 kW at 1 kV – today.

Yeah, I agree.

If you didn't buy the original copy of something from 20 years ago and can't get it from eBay, you're SOL in most cases.

Lots of punk albums from small bands made in the 00s fall into this trap.

If you do find it, it's unlikely to be the original mix and might sound louder/have some content missing.
What upsides are there to promote a competing platform as a development story for their own platform?
Why mention Google calendar? Why not also display Outlook calendars or whatever?

Seems like you could, and Google is probably wondering why you are trying to use their name in your product?

The current state of quantum computing suggests that there is an exponential effort to increase the available qbits. Going from RSA 2048 to RSA 4096 would not just double the effort required on the quantum side.

That's a significant amount of time if we're talking about long-term file storage.

I've had my dropbox account for over 10 years now. Being concerned about a timescale of 20 to 30 years seems reasonable for things like long term file storage IMO.

Backblaze, dropbox, google drive, onedrive, AWS are all over a decade old.
Hey, I’m no Einstein, but even he had hypothesis that took decades to be shown evidence to prove they were true.

Anybody living in AD 1975. You could access government mainframes and Fortran, but it required lots of begging. I knew 8008, 8080, Z80, MC6800, RCA Cosmac, NOVA-1200 and PDP-11 assemblers and some more.

I studied also Russian MIR-1 machine code, but they decided I was not politically suitable, cause my hair was too long.

And I had scary experience of superwide telephone exchange controller by Siemens, but they had no symbolic assembler, they programmed every word bit-by-bit in octal.
Browser plugins that access your email are a very-high-risk category for malware, so much so that if I see an ad for one I wouldn't personally give it the benefit of the doubt. Combine that with A/B testing for different product ideas, and the clickthrough experience not actually ending in a plugin which can be malware-scanned, and rejecting it under the "circumventing systems policy" seems correct to me. The reviewer can't distinguish between "the plugin was not served because this is a fake test for a product that doesn't exist", and "the plugin was not served because the malware doesn't want to send a sample of itself to the reviewer".

That might as well be another century. My guess is not many loans discharged by BK. I would also guess loan amounts were not insane, as they are today. I would further guess the no-discharge rule had to have origin in excessive defaults. Nothing happens in a vacuum.

> why not use containers? [...]

> on Mac you need to run containers inside a Linux VM anyway, so I’d rather use a VM directly and not introduce another unnecessary layer

I was long confused at how Docker functioned on macOS, until I learned that it's "just" running a Linux VM within which it runs the container images. There is no other magic happening to run a (linux-assuming) container on macOS.

1) Mentioning Google and Google account many times

2) something innocent (using Tor, using blocklisted VPN, being associated with a banned google account)

3) something you're not telling us (violating some google policy, billing address in sanctioned country, using stolen cc, I know you didn't but you asked to guess!)
When you say superdeterminism are you referring to something like Pilot Wave theory, where what appear to our measurements as probabilistic yet random interactions are merely expressions of a more complex yet non-random underlying system that we cannot, as yet, measure?

Yeah, if all it takes is to wait 5 years to have it for free, many people will wait.

People wait for steam sales of just released games and that can take 2 years and you still pay. If they were sure it is free after 5, they gonna wait.

Nothing is in the eye of the watcher, neither arbiter nor bully, presumably.
Fake/relaxation environment that stretches out to infinity with nothing to focus on may be a somewhat usable workaround for vergence-accommodation conflict. I suspect that's also why all the demos have all the windows equidistant and there's no depth to the UIs, and why camera passthrough imagery is frequently shown blurred out (so you don't try to focus on it).

Piracy to the rescue! The companies with the endangered IP should make a deal to forgive key piracy hubs in exchange for archiving their games into perpetuity.

I've only done so three times, but when I've had to furnish a new office space, I've obtained all the office furniture from auction houses that sell the furniture from other companies that were liquidated.

I just assumed that was where most such used furniture went, but I guess not. That's too bad -- buying from a liquidator is not only better for the environment, but is a lot less expensive, and every startup should be minimizing costs where they can. This is an easy and painless way to minimize costs.
Meta: typo in title, s/sckeptic/sceptic/ I guess. Thanks.
I don't think this was very well thought out.

The only way this would be a nice system is that it would icentivise everyone to make everything free and open source, or don't create anything at all, since if you create siomething with the intention to get value from it, anyone else can decide to take it from you simply because they are Apple and you don't have the 100k to stop them. It's already bad enough that big companies can buy smaller companies just by waving the cash at the owners, and all the Figma, Centos, etc users get to suck it.

Except that it wouldn't even be nice in that sarcastic way, because what happens to copyleft in that world? I think it's critically important that the "you may have but not steal this" in GPL doesn't expire in a mere 5 years, and no one has to pay hundreds of thousands to prevent a big for-profit company from stealing something that they could have had for free anyway.
