The point of the story was that if you have something critical to communicate, you can't do it using the same methods that are also used for low-priority mostly junk and expect it to be acted upon. Surely a mortgage servicing company can afford to FedEx an envelope. I wouldn't expect Influx to do so.
It's interesting to me that people worrying about PFAS at 0.004 ppt levels consider Reverse Osmosis filters made from PTFE membranes a way to remove them. What are the PFAS levels in the membrane? Who tested it?

Charcoal filters are only removing 3/4 while RO is removing 19/20, but if you're at 70ppt, you're not getting to 0.7ppt even with both of those together.

If you believe the people testing, why not believe the same for tested teflon pans?

I still suspect RO is pretty good since otherwise semi fabs would be contaminated, but I think the PTFE boats were probably also pretty good. It's the thousands of gallons of PFAS by-product pumped into the ground or sold off as flame retardant that I'd worry about.
This is why I think it's ridiculous when car rental is recommended as a solution to the range issues of EVs. There is so much friction, have to shop around to get a good rental price, pickup and drop off the car and ask someone to pick you up (or uber), very unpleasant waiting at the counter, mileage restrictions, driver restrictions (can't ask your friend to help with taking turns driving on a road trip). Compare all of that to just getting in your own car and going. If deciding on whether to go on a road trip to somewhere like a national park, this can mean the difference between going and just giving up because of all the hassle in renting cars.

EDIT: I'm not against EVs, just against dismissing the EV issues with ideas like "go rent a car" as if that's a realistic solution considering how inconvenient it is.
> If they are in possession of copyrighted material because someone without the proper rights gave it to them illegally, then the possession itself is also illegal.

No, they aren’t.

> It's illegal to own knowingly stolen property in all 50 US states

While copyright violation is often metaphorically (or hyperbolicly) referred to as stealing, copyright violation isn't theft and a copy created in violation of copyright is not stolen property. The essencd of theft lies in deprivation of the owner of the use of the good, not mere trespass to their right to exclude others.
Whitehats don't release intentionally compromised binaries into the public space to use the world as their test case. This approach is both unnecessary and deeply unethical.
Should get a phone number too. Shit like that happens. Next time lay down the law to the marketing drones from UX that want to "reduce friction".

Non-english people and "foreign nation-states" being connected to the internet are not problematic. GNAA was deeply racist, homophobic and offensive.
Personally I think those hardware limitations are pretty silly. IMO an OLED screen is irrelevant unless you are gaming or something, and touchscreens on laptops are of pretty limited utility. And an internal LTE model would be an expensive waste if you have an iPhone, because it pairs to your iPhone instantly.

The Linux limitation is totally fair, although kind of irrelevant here (as it doesn't run well on the Qualcomm chips either).
172 pages for dialog’s lol. Thank god for ResEdit! You’re right though. If I recall because of the single thread certain built-in popups could more or less block. BUT - perhaps you wanted something a bit more tricky. Well, now you’re back in it! :)

Is there any language that makes breaking out code into separate files as simple as maybe just importing a file. c and cpp i guess with quote includes, even that is annoying with header files and linking args when compiling.
You say that very confidently, but you are very wrong. If you download music from a source that does not have a license to distribute that music, then they are violating the copyright and you are now in possession of stolen property. Finland uses different terminology for Fair Use, but the citations amount to the same as US policy and only apply if you obtained the work by legal means.

So does it "make no sense" or is it just "probably not" true? e-EDCs are a known but not yet well studied issue. How can you claim that increased estrogen does not have any effect on sexuality? To your point about the lack of feminization in women, I think that just shows your lack of knowledge of endocrinology. Men and women both have estrogen receptors; one aspect of sexual dimorphism in humans, however, is that females produce more estrogen than males. Female estrogen receptors are therefore usually activated while estrogen receptors in men are less activated (to simplify). Increasing estrogen in females whose estrogen receptors are largely already activated will have no effect. In fact, estrogen-like endocrine disrupting chemicals are less potent than say 17β-estradiol. So increased faux estrogen may predict decreased net "femininity," for lack of a better term, in females, as their estrogen receptors are then bound to weaker e-EEDCs, and this is supported by the literature[0]. This is also why soy products may increase breast size in men but not in women. But your conclusion that the whole discussion "makes no sense" is forgone, and not based on an analysis of any data.

Was the employee the defendant, not the company?
This happened in Seattle, which I assume falls into your non-trivial CITY argument. Nobody here is talking about making Manhattan or Downtown Chicago denser, JFC. They’re talking about making SFH neighborhoods denser…you know, those neighborhoods like the ones where you find those million dollar homes that you linked to in your post.

I’m so glad I don’t work with anybody like you. What a fucking nightmare.
>you’re saying it’s never really worth involving them at all.

This is the reality for many millions of Americans. I have people in my own family for whom police interaction of virtually any kind will make their situation worse time. There are neighborhoods and communities where the idea of calling the police and actually expecting to receive help will get you laughed out of the room, as everyone in the room knows from actual experience it isn't true. A third of their local taxes go to a thing that will at best never help them.

It isn't by accident that nations have travel advisories warning their citizens about American police.
It is pretty amazing. Business of storing other people's data, and evidently notice of deletion is treated as a non-event. Instead of a Huge Big Deal that should be the top line communication to impacted customers until a migration plan has been enacted.
Yeah. I don't understand why no one on the Windows side can fully catch up to Apple laptop hardware.
I’m aware of gold membership and don’t want to deal with it, because it sounds scammy.

I’ll book Hertz through Priceline or another travel site solely based on price and end up in a situation where if being a gold member applied, I see no indication I could skip the counter anyway. Maybe that’s strictly a messaging area for improvement.

If your company was honestly trying to improve, you’d make everybody a lifetime member with their first rental purchase, not call it a membership at all, and make renting a car as easy as getting an Uber: through the phone, over the internet, silent, and almost zero people to slow the process.
I think this would be a pretty great work holder for a metal milling or CNC job. Throw some foam in between the teeth and the work and it should work pretty well for wood CNC jobs as well.

It’s usually a pain to hold irregular parts without a flat surface. In fact, I can’t think of a good way to do it at all.

Oooh that makes sense. 486DX ran pretty well all told.
My solution for that sort of use case has been TPU softjaws for existing vices (woodworking and metalworking). I will say this: it sure is a neat mechanism and I've thought of printing my own just to play with it. You got any pics of your setup, it sounds cool!
As a hobbyist Python programmer (that only really ever used it in grad school) this was an extreme pain point when it came to using a much smaller library when getting started with Home Assistant.

PyScript seems to take away the pain of using YAML and all the boilerplate created to make it so people in the system don't have to program. But there is just so much you have to know about the quirks of the language on top of the quirks of the author's specific choices.
> That Wayland is 10 years old and still barely usable

Factually false, and easily known. Starting with most distros defaulting to wayland, Myself using it full time with zoom, screenshots I'm sure many things you say don't work

> far software developers have fallen in the last 30 years.

You can't be serious

> They have thrown everything difficult out of the spec and only implemented the most trivial functionality around a security model which you must actively break to get actual work (like screen shots) done.

You must really hate HTTP as spec. HTTP is so lazy. Could not even implement transport security or even TCP like functionality. Composability and layers are quite overrated

But I guess I should just not feed the troll
What a miserable experience!

Meanwhile I had the opposite experience in a Google Store recently. I picked a phone case off the shelf in 10s, told the nearest employee I wanted to buy it, and he immediately whipped out a credit card scanner and I bought it right there in 30s. Didn't even need to go to the checkout counter or anything. It probably helps that that store is less crowded than the Apple store, but their training at least seems to involve making the purchasing flow as efficient as possible.
These chemicals accumulate over long periods of time in you body, reaching ever higher levels. They are silent killers. But, isn't a large part of the scandal that these companies knew for decades from their own studies there was a huge concern about health safety for employees and the environment? They never shared the alarming results to any authorities. So, they themselves knew very well about detrimental effects decades before they were discovered independently by academic research leading to revised standards and law.
> no longer accurately reflects what are and arent reasonable deliverables

Have you ever seen an accurate prediction of this by any methodology?
Yeah it was pretty cool for the solo developer but for teams, it was hard or impossible to merge changes or version control them. Having multiple people working on a big VB6 app was an unpleasant exercise in manually coordinating who was working on what and developers frequently clobbering each others work.
// That’s not how this works, anywhere: the burden of proof, of presenting facts, is on those who say “yes”.

I used to think this way but lately recognize this isn't intellectually honest. Even w/o religion we have to acknowledge that our ability to perceive and understand is very limited compared to what must be the totality of truths in the universe.

This seems obvious - eg if you believe in evolution, you recognize that you evolved to be fit in your environment (eat and avoid being eaten) - why would you expect this process to grant you machinery to understand fundamental universal truths?

Once I recognized this limitation, I recognized the intellectual dishonestly of what I previously considered rigor: "I can't see/understand it so it doesn't exist" is as ridiculous an assertion as anything.
Yeah I had no idea how many accidental flags I’ve done so this is really useful
I haven’t seen a reason yet but I suspect they’re reducing the regions they’re hosting in to save costs.

I founded three startups, raised several VC rounds, and I'm ex Vmware, Palm, Cisco.

For the past three years I'm in the API domain trying to solve hard problems in the space. Sometime being an insider helps you come up with new ideas quite fast. I recommend that in addition to being in AI tap into other domain experience. Otherwise, it is quite possible you may end up building a small/niche feature missing in a large platform and end up in a tight position in terms of raising funds, growing business, and selling your startup.

My new startup focuses on AI-Powered API Performance Testing. We enable startup CTOs deliver High-Performance APIs with our self-learning platform to stop churn and win 3x upsell.

I am normally a Linux or MacOS user exclusively, but recently I reinstalled Windows 11 on my somewhat recently purchased Lenovo Yoga 7i. I tried to get as far as I could getting as much of my configuration codified with PowerShell in a git repo[0].

I got really far with it and the end result was super nice, I thought! But a lot of the stuff I wanted was very deeply buried.

Also, the defaults that Microsoft assaults Windows users with are insane! I can't believe what Microsoft gets away with.

I put a deposit down a year ago and still haven't heard anything.
if you don't care about doing things right and packing crap into a shared virtual environment and all that, you can just create a directory called "deps". fill it with symlinks to directories you want to import or import from. they'll import just fine. probably should have been how it works the entire time.
> Regarding coordinated action: I agree, but it turns out that's very hard to coordinate, especially when it comes to privacy issues, as most of the US electorate either doesn't care about privacy, or doesn't understand why they should care (seems they often fall victim to the whole "if I've done nothing wrong, I have nothing to hide" fallacy that the government always pushes). It's very hard to coordinate a group that at best thinks what you're talking about isn't important, and at worst has bought your opposition's propaganda efforts and thinks you're wrong.

I tend to agree, but rarely discussed: why are things this way, as opposed to being better?

Would investigating that not be top priority in a corporation? Isn't it strange that when it comes to the literal system that (theoretically) oversees and coordinates ~everything, we seem to never wonder such things, as if governance is an immutable constant?
Mosquito attraction to humans associated with skin-derived carboxylic acid [pdf]
Yeah, true. They've made some pretty impressive perceptual voice codecs that take very little data, and using that as the carrier for transmitting data would eat into that quite a bit more. Though, I find steganographic methods quite fascinating and often catch myself pondering ways to exchange data privately where efficiency is a small aspect of the overall goal of the communication channel. I suppose "thought experiment" is a good description.

The most effective/efficient way to do E2EE voice is definitely to use an app that supports voice and transfers via the data channel.

There are no insurance towers with over $2b of limit. As a consequence this is going to seriously hurt 3M. In addition this will drastically increase the cost of their (and their peer's) insurance policies over the next 10 years.
This is terrifying. Windows 7 was EoL in early 2020. If you're in a time where you've heard about COVID-19 you shouldn't be using 7.
> I use Wayland daily and haven't run into the issues you mention. I appreciate may not work for some <1% of edge use cases

Such as having a modern wide gamut/HDR display, or a display without a blue spectrum spike. Or printing anything in color. Or doing photography or digital painting. Or switching to another compositor on a non-default keyboard layout (as Wayland doesn't have the replacement for this basic X functionality, compositors are forced to reinvent the wheel).

It's fine to have the "works on my machine" attitude for a user discussing this on the web. I just hope the devs of what is being pushed as a replacement for what works don't have it. (and the signals aren't good)
There's no need to paraphrase; "enemy action" is a very plausible and adequate explanation.
Take a picture in the car lot of the car when you return it! Try to get an employee in frame too.

That's how I managed to avoid a no-return penalty with Hertz a few years ago, and now I always take that picture.
Then the title is misleading. Not everyone saw the email, many expected more, e.g. a scream test.

amazing comments and callouts, thank you! I actually tried to load the raw image data blobs as a layer into MapLibre but couldn't figure out a way to do it and finally capitulated and did the "bad" move of re-encoding just to get the initial interactive map collection out the door for folks. It sounds like this is in fact possible but I missed something. I'll take a look at the Image and Canvas sources, thanks!

Re the webmercator reprojection - yea it's gnarly that I'm doing it clientside but it's exactly because I'm working towards the ability to layer them interactively on top of eachother (as well as on various basemaps). My projection code is also only half-working at the moment and it's where I'm currently spending my time next week. I'm trying to avoid building pipelines to re-encode the geotiffs as long as I can since there's 10+TB of them in my backend so this is why you're seeing me doing this clientside instead. This is a solo project so I need to be really picky where I spend my time so I can keep moving the ball forward

I'll join those 2 communities, thank you! Been crazy hard to find folks who are deep in this stuff so most of my learning has been through endless googling down deep dark corners of the web for the past 2 months
Are you not familiar with the iOS ecosystem?
The premise is true enough, but the article didn't really expand on anything meaningful beyond the title.
It is very common for embedded vendors, when changing the underlying OS, to try to keep the UI unchanged. Once upon a time, every IBM mainframe contained a PC running OS/2, which was used to perform system maintenance functions such as startup and shutdown, hardware configuration changes, OS installation, etc. At some point, IBM decided to get rid of OS/2 and replace it with a HTTP server running on x86 Linux – but they had the webapp emulate the OS/2 UI look, so it still looked like OS/2 even though it was now a webapp. (I believe more recently they've refreshed the UI so it doesn't look like OS/2 any more.) So it wouldn't surprise me if, when XKL migrated from TOPS-20 (or possibly it was their own custom PDP-10 OS) to BSD, they kept the CLI as unchanged as possible.

It also wouldn't be the first time a Unix application has used a TOPS-20 inspired interface. The most famous example of that is Kermit. Columbia MM is another.
GDPR solves these problems. As a startup it was annoying implementing all the subprocessor paperwork, but as a consumer / citizen I want those rights.

In your case above, I’m not actually sure how data ownership works on sale of a company, but you can always have the company delete all your data if you don’t want it changing hands.

In other words, you should always own your data, and companies should never be able to do something with it that you do t consent to.

golang is pretty good for this. you can stick a bunch of files together and just mark them as being in the same package and all their functions will get wadded together in the resultant package for other stuff to import.
Yeah it's basically a profile for you to log in and provide payment info etc. Just like your Uber login it's free. Maybe we can make it clearer.
