I think you're right that it would be difficult for the FCC to precisely define exactly when security updates are required. This is a problem in law generally, one that is usually resolved by imposing a reasonableness standard. Maybe here, a vulnerability needs to be patched if it might reasonably be expected to allow an attacker to take control of a device, or to do so when combined with other known or unknown vulnerabilities. Or maybe a different standard. Then when enforcement/lawsuits come around, the judge/jury/regulator has to evaluate the reasonableness of the manufacturer's actions in light of that standard. We'd love to see commentary on the record as to what the right legal standard might be.

I once found a vulnerability. I pressed F12 and saw unintended information in the source of a webpage. I just closed the tab, I didn't report it.

Our laws made it risky to do the right thing, so I didn't do the right thing.
So if a website, which already has way too many ways to identify you, calls document.browsingTopics() to see that some of your recent topics of interest are pregnancy tests and abortion pills, or knows that you are male and sees that you've been recently interested in dresses and panties, and this website happens to be a far-right-leaning activist website, and decides to dox you, or blackmail you, or forward this information to Ron DeSantis's administration for possible criminal prosecution, you're all good with that? You don't consider that spyware? That's just as bad as my browser having a back button?
This is definitely the weirdest, most unnecessary take I've seen all day.

When I was in a similar situation I declined. (I was going to offer to contract, but then an absurdly low offer came in via email.)

It turned into a series of email flames from an "entrepreneur" that involved references to Frodo and the Ring.

Needless to say, the company burned out super-fast. The guy running the company didn't realize that he has to pay market rate in order to attract talent; and if he can't pay market rate, he has to reset what he's trying to do in order to meet his budget.
If it’s anything like SCUBA tanks, then the 800M cu ft is specified at 1 atm at room temperature. It’s a actually an intuitive way to express how much gas you’re getting. Specifying it by N would be borderline incomprehensible to most people.
> He pays guys $60k+ and some approach $100k for dependable people that known the field. He has trouble finding people.

I've seen trade jobs that get described like this. However the reality is different. The jobs are effectively seasonal and no one makes $60k because they don't end up working a full 52 weeks of the year. They get paid per job and once they finish the job there's no work and thus no pay until the next job. A lot of times employees are expected to own and supply their own tools. They often also require a commute out to a job site.

Working trades like this ends up averaging out to a bit better than minimum wage but without predictable schedules and/or long commutes. When someone makes six figures it's because the job was a new subdivision or something.

He takes a 50k job, pays à baby-sitter 20k (said babysitter couldn't find a service job that could pay him 50k, weirdly), and voilà, 70k GDP.
> the Lisa and Mac designers definitely did not feel that way.

This is weird, because at that time the screen resolution was something like 600x400 and you could not fit lot of information (like a text document or a folder with icons) even in fullscreen mode, let alone windowed mode. The smaller the window, the more you will have to scroll and scrolling then was slow and blocky.
I was talking about the trucking companies, since they are the direct participants in the demand side of the trucking labor market.

I agree with your analysis though. They should be willing to pay truckers whatever wage allows them to profit. They would rather have more of that surplus to themselves though. The price that the clients are willing to pay to have their goods moved ultimately dictates how much of that surplus there is for the truckers and the company to split.

PDF is pretty much a symbolic representation of what needs to be printed out. It's symbolic so it can get rasterized onto whatever device in question, in a way that should be as accurate as possible to a print version.

That's the primary requirement of PDF, and has been since the beginning.

They added a bunch of interactive stuff to it, which are used occasionally (forms). But to understand PDF you need to understand the above first.
I call them 'slave stones' because the miners are often times literal slaves.
I would love to explore statistical mechanics, quantum field theory, and/or general relativity through a similar lens.

But I am also quite interested in learning more about the "under the hood" workings and software craftsmanship of scmutils. The textbook _uses_ scmutils to explore classical mechanics.

But it does not delve into the implementation details of scmutils itself, which interest me.
> Is this bad because I now have to do a deployment to enable the feature? ... I would argue as long as your deployments are easy, this is the better way to do things because it reduces the complexity of integrating with a third-party tool.

Shoot, even when it's all first party tooling, I prefer a release-flags-and-binary as an atomic unit. If the flags and binary are going out as a single push, it simplifies a lot of things:

* reproducible state for given time with only one thing to track (running version), instead of two or more things (binary version, flag configs version)

* corollary: rollbacks are much more simple, because it's just one thing to rollback - the code+config+everything as an atomic unit, not "did we need to roll back the flags, or the binary, or both?" (Corollary to corollary: removes the awful problem of "oh shit the code and/or flags/configs wasn't backwards/forwards compatible" where you shoot yourself in the foot while doing a rollback

* removals and cleanups are easier: can remove flags, config bits, and code all at once, instead of having to do a careful dance of "set code behavior to default-on and remove dependency on flag, the wait for full deployment, then make sure everyone is okay with not rolling back after a given point, then remove flags and config logic"

* depending on your tooling, diffs vs prod during code review get cleaner
Yup, I have a brother who is a truck driver. It's a brutal industry that looks to screw over it's workers at every angle possible.

They try to get you to purchase your truck, so you are locked in but also so you are on the hook for the inevitable maintenance (we are talking $250k).

They push you to work the limits at every angle. The maximum road time, the maximum ranges/etc.

And when you start talking about 401ks/etc, it's almost always real garbage. Everything is nickel and dimed to the maximum extent possible.
> Anything that challenges their authority over the kids (correct parenting, behavior, values etc) can be seen as a direct attack and people will get very rude and offensive.

I'll ignore parenting advice, even more from people without children. The thing is that everyone is different, and I don't believe that there is a better way or a miraculous method which will make your kids the greatest.

Secondly, it is a selfish reason: Being parent is a unique opportunity to grow a human to your values, and hopefully leading to success.
I don't see why I should adopt someone else's values.
Look at it the other way. If you have a diamond in good condition, can you sell it anywhere for "market price" the same way you would gold or silver? No, because the rock is not rare, and there's basically no way to verify its origin outside of the store.

Look up Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace in your area and you'll find plenty of cheap listings for diamond jewelry. Will you really take a chance on any of them though?

It's a bit of a high-risk strategy, isn't it? If one accuses the ADL of saying untrue harmful things about them and those things turn out to be true, then not only is one now carrying the initial bad actions on one's reputation, but one now has the added reputation of trying to legally bury knowledge of those actions. Not a great look.

I don't see how it's the driver's problem that the orderer chose to live somewhere impossible for delivery drivers to park while taking food through whatever apartment maze they chose to live in, but there's always the option of meeting at the front door

if that's not possible, it's up to you to refuse ordering. If you place the order, you agreed for it to be delivered according to the terms and conditions.
The difference would be, that one was made artificial in a human machine in a lab - and the other by raw natural forces in the wild.

There is no practical value in jewelry anyway, it is a status symbol and the context of coming from the wild extracted under wild conditions (and maybe violently, ooh, blood diamonds, how exiting, erm shocking) has of course a higher symbolic value. So a artificial made one would be considered "fake".

Romanticism is not attached to logic. But it is still a real factor in human decision making. And to be honest, if I would be into jewelry, I probably would prefer the "real" one, too. But I am rather into extreme sports and any rings or alike are just dangerous baggage there (a friend of mine allmost lost a finger, while climbing over a fence and his ring got stuck on some metal piece).

But if your wife happens to be into it - applying logic here will be probably seen as a cheap way to save money.
A lot of it comes down to being mindful of what you're spending the most time on during assembly, but some of it is just hard-won. But I've learned a lot from reading Hackaday.

Some simple things that you shouldn't have to learn the hard way (but most people do):

Make sure your wiring contacts are electrochemically compatible. Gold-to-gold is safe in almost every household environment.

Strain relieve every wire. Solder is not meant to be structural.

Every circuit component degrades over time. Heat, humidity, and dust accelerates that process. Make a plan to mitigate the ingress of each, and a plan to account for that degradation.

Learn to design simple breakout-board carrier boards. The best breadboard layouts are still worse than a mediocre PCB, because the PCB doesn't have flywires to catch on literally everything.

Make sure you include mechanical support points for your designs, and pick the right size and material for your mechanical supports.

All of this to say, your hardware thing is a thing first, and an expression of your software/firmware design second. If it cannot physically survive being that physical thing, the elegance or resiliency of your code is meaningless.
The reality is that for an average guy, earning a stable long-term relationship in the Tinder era is an enormous amount of work, to the point that many find this challenge insurmountable (at least 5% more men, than women, as we can see from the article).

There are many men that I know that simply are consumed by the necessity to make ends meet that they barely have any time to go out and meet new people (women specifically).

Also, on top of that, women are far less approachable these days, which increases the effort even further.
I can understand a love of Perl by folks who love a good puzzle, or who are interested in "code golf" (trying to get something done in the fewest number of characters).

But those are not great traits for a general-purpose programming language. I agree with the other response: "Python just forces you to write code that's better for the team."

No, but any other source (eg. headers) used during the compilation process might be owned by a third party.

A crack does not compile anything, but even if you go that road, it will be argued anyway that the patch which is applied is copyrighted.

Now, of course, it's another thing to prove that the patch may indeed be copyrighted...

That's part of it.

Japan also consciously entered on a relatively lower-energy path than the US, largely through energy and vehicle taxation and licencing practices, though there were others. That's not to say Japan doesn't have a large number of automobiles, or a strong automobile sector. It does.

But domestic autos tend to be smaller than those made for export elsewhere, there's a tremendous domestic transit system (famously the Shinkansen), and Japan's electronics industry (with hits and misses) was the result of a deliberate government-directed policy toward more efficient resource utilisation over simply mass consumption.

Not perfectly achieved, by any means, but a contrast to policies elsewhere.

I personally find the decision to buy lab grown diamonds to be weirder, because if you are already thinking logically rather than emotionally and can resist the social pressure then why waste money on a diamond at all? There are plenty of gems or metals out there that are cheaper, prettier, more rare and hold their value better than diamonds (whether natural or lab grown).

Sure, but that's not what I was advocating at all. I was very particular with my words in suggesting tending your own lot first, then helping others instead of the other way around. (People that only look out for themselves generally don't need to be told to do so!)

It's the plane-oxygen-mask situation. You can't fix global warming for everyone without securing money and influence for yourself. So focus on securing those first. Empathy unchecked by logic is just hysteria.
I have two points. First, remember that things like cell phones are also IoT. Laptops are IoT. So make sure that your regulations make sense for all IoT and make sure they apply to all IoT.

Second, I tend to be libertarian. I'd prefer less regulation, not more. So if your concerns are about security update timeframes, I like your idea to treat it more like "Best if used by" labeling. That is, if somebody wants to bake some bread without any preservatives that should be consumed within 24 hours, that's ok. You don't force any lifetime. You just have that lifetime clearly displayed on the packaging.

Some people would prefer bread that "expires" sooner than later. It could become a badge of honor. Likewise, a cell phone or mesh router that "expires" later than sooner could become a badge of honor. It could become a thing. It could be a feature that affects sales.

Keep the regulation as light as possible and be smart about it so that it can still accomplish your desire. Give the labels some standard presentation and prominence like Nutrition Facts. I think it is a great idea.
but the subset of people that can afford and would drink a $200 bottle of wine is hardly any bigger than the subset of people that can afford and would drink a $2000 bottle of wine.

I don't think this is correct. Most wine nerds/enthusiasts I know (and I include myself) would consider dropping $200 on one of their 'dream bottles' in the right circumstance, especially if splitting the cost with a couple of friends. I don't know a single person who would ever drop $2000 on a bottle of wine under any circumstance.
