Gun ownership is not evenly distributed. Their are as many guns as citizens in the US, but out of ten people, 8 have no guns, 1 has a single handgun, and 1 has 10 guns.
Yes, it works...but it puts python at a big disadvantage in terms of size and performance. The DOM integration, for example, works, but isn't what it could be if WASM had more direct support for it.
This is also really common in the audio space. Sampling, amp modelers, etc. are really great for rapidly prototyping without either requiring the full band or a money/time sink to get the right sound.

Personally, I don't shoot enough to justify new equipment. Photography is a minor hobby of mine, and I actually really enjoy the limitations of film. Just the other day I was on shot 33 of my last 35mm roll. It hits a bit different to say "well, I've got three shots left, I better make them count." I was doing a shoot with some friends and another photographer was there shooting on continuous, snapping a dozen frames while I took one. Their shots were partially edited by the end of the night and I'm trying to find time to get to the lab.

It's just a different experience. Like I said, I like the limitation that requires more planning and intention. Things don't always work out. I'll have a whole roll that's massively under or overexposed. I'll have rolls that never loaded properly and get nothing but a clear negative after development. It's all part of the story for me.
You may have to define "cheaper" for some of these companies.

Keep in mind the sunk cost fallacy and that every million dollars invested in 1960s money is about ten million dollars in today's money. Some of these projects are so foundationally sunk cost to these companies that they might as well be load bearing sunk costs. The company doesn't think that it exists without those sunk costs, and the company doesn't think it could survive a second, similar spending program today, at least not without their shareholders pitching a fit in potentially lots of short-term quarters given current shareholder obsessively short-term thinking.
I actually think an instant camera fulfills this role better than a film one. By instant, I mean one that prints out the images immediately, like a Polaroid or Instax. It has two unique things compared to digital cameras: limited shots available (mostly because the film is so expensive) and that it instantaneous creates a physical object that is cooler than the typical printed photo. And since the photos are instant, you don't need to worry about getting the film developed.

It's a much easier on-ramp to photography than both film and digital cameras, in my experience.
Is there a “lack of helium” or is there a competition for valuable uses of helium? MRI seems to use about 13% of annual helium production.

12,000 * 10,000 / 12.8 = 9,375,000/year [0]

1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters

9,375 (MRI) / 73,000,000 (Total production [1]) = 0.1284

At any point, an MRI machine contains about 2,000 liters of liquid helium, though suppliers need to replenish any helium that boils off. Mahesh estimates that an MRI machine uses 10,000 liters of liquid helium over its life span. (According to GE Healthcare, a manufacturer of the machines, that life span is 12.8 years.) In 2015, there were roughly 12,000 machines in the U.S., making MRIs one of the biggest helium consumers in the world, far above balloon stores.

U.S. spy agency dreams of surveillance underwear it's calling “smart epants”
If you're a serious photographer who's only shot digital, shooting film for some 'burner' shoots will improve your photography significantly. Film is a much more intentional process, you have to pay attention to light and composition at a very deep level before you capture an image. That practice improves technique that leaks over into the digital realm as well. Typically, when you go back, you take fewer photos but more of them are usable, and those that are usable are better overall.

Also taking fewer photos has the side benefit of improving ingress/processing time which are non-trivial if you're taking photos for a living.

Don't get me wrong, there's a time to motor drive f8 and get the shot, just in most cases it's better to not.
Thanks! I'd ask for two things:

The first is, please provide a standalone registry package for both modules and providers - the only I'm aware of is Artifactory, and I don't really feel like running another big repository software in a Nexus shop.

The second is related: please allow for easier forking of provider modules. The current workflow of either building locally and distributing binaries with collaborators that are manually copied sucks or waiting for upstream to accept PRs, particularly if upstream wants CLAs signed.
It isn't manageable. Do you have any idea how electronics are made? How the materials are obtained?
I’m located in the US. Of the last 4 pieces of media I’ve bought on Amazon, one was a misprint that should have been destroyed, two were marked as for sale only in India, and one was an EU market copy. All were marked as new. I returned all of them and found the same product locally within three blocks of my apartment for the same price I paid on Amazon.

I’m surprised the big publishers (both print and gaming) such as Pearson and Nintendo aren’t putting more pressure on Amazon.
I can't link to anything, but I can offer my own personal experience of having to pay for 6 weeks of physical therapy before they would give me an MRI for my knee. I just opted to look up the routine online and rehab myself. I'd have gladly paid my MRI copay, but I'm not paying for PT without even knowing if I need it yet.

Email Marketing and Legal Responsibilities
> Humanity didn't develop emails, or have meetings, or communications because it some sort of ritual to a strange god

Yeah, you say this like it's obvious, but it's quite an honest and productive line of inquiry.

But whatever the history of meetings are, it's undeniable that a lot of the current ones are merely ritualistic.

And yes, the one single way to deal with the ritualistic meetings is to not attend them. I am nearly convinced that this headline is an attempt of modern art, instead of objective information. Even though the application looks like something with real goals.
Assuming both sensors have the same pixel count, the resulting images also have the same pixel count but the image taken with the monochrome sensor would resolve finer details which get lost when doing the color interpolation with the color sensor. This can be nicely seen with the Leicas, as they usually sell a Monochrom with the same pixel count as the color version.

FWIW, the US didn't hole him up in an embassy for years he did that himself.

I'm not arguing his innocence or guilt here, just examining the logic of his holing up at the embassy as some kind of time served. If I commit a crime and go hiding in the woods for a few years before my trial, does that mean I should serve no prison time?
> especially Firefox, a fucking web browser, doesn't even opt into user certificates without a secret tap combo and hidden settings

Firefox uses it's own CA store and installing your own is trivial. Ever tried to just open URL with your cert? The ui for certs isn't nice, but you can still view them in 'about:certificate'

Installing into system store and then configuring Firefox to use system store is the hard way, on all supported systems.
My biggest issue is that, like so many markets, there is a "missing middle" created by this downward price pressure.

For the most part if you want a piece of furniture (ie a nightstand), there are two categories. Either you buy the Amazon/Wayfair version made of pressboard for $100-$200, or you can find a solid wood heirloom version for $2,000+. The domestic plywood or cheaper solid wood options are no longer mass produced at the scale that they used to be.

There's very little in between, even if I'm willing to pay a bit more for something a bit nicer.

I think one reason Ikea is so popular is that they ride the upper end of the cheap segment. Offering low-priced items but with reasonable instructions, a minimum expectation of quality, and at least there's a physical store to look at it before you buy and return it if it's damaged or doesn't work.
Well, lots of people have been not-buying liquorice their whole life, but nothing's changing. The market for liquorice candy is alive and well.

Less snarky: if other people still want to buy certain products, manufacturers will provide. But that's not a bad thing. Different folks have different preferences.

>> If they meet certain criteria for the security of their product, manufacturers can put an FCC cybersecurity label on it. I fought hard for one of these criteria to be the disclosure of how long the product will receive security updates.

I think labeling may be a good idea. Requiring updates is probably not a great idea. For most of my things I prefer they not auto-update, as that invites another whole world of problems.

The original GPT-4 gets 95% accuracy in my own benchmark (a multiple choice questions dataset I have built for a client in law-related subjects). Using the latest version (0613), it drops to 85%. So yeah, it is also my experience that the performance has degraded.
You also have to remember that in CA the assessed value of your home (on which your property tax is based) will never go up more than 2% per year. So while the property tax rate may be higher than some other places, if you stay in your home for more than a few years, the actual amount of property tax you pay will quickly be lower than it would be elsewhere.
I had an argument with my therapist about this.

My wife just gave birth to my daughter, we moved a bookshelf my grandfather built for me when I was born into her nursery and now my office is a mess, my books and such scattered. The mess is stressing me out.

I am looking for a bookshelf to replace it, and told him I haven’t found anything I thought would last the rest of my life for a reasonable price. He insists I don’t need something that will last that long and I am just resistant to change. I just don’t want to waste my money on garbage pressboard I am going to need to replace.
Use wood glue where, though? Its advice that isn't "obvious". I'm not a big furniture person, and I'm inferring you mean to do things like add some additional bind to assembled spots, e.g. when I screw in the backing for the chair I could use wood glue on the seam to give it more strength, but its not always obvious how I'm suppose to apply these Ikea "hacks" as it were.

"Things you build yourself" aren't really in competition with pre-built things for most people. Also, that Dilemma costs over $200 for an RGB PCB plus case. Add brand-name switches and keycaps, and you're not far off the price of this, and also you had to do the assembly yourself.
A big issue with botnets running on device owner equipment is the amount of bandwidth they "steal" from the device owner. Especially for device owners who are on constrained networks (such as a mobile/satellite network) this can be a really expensive issue for the device owner.

So while the device owner may not be the primary victim, they can definitely still be heavily affected.
> This is an overly narrow and ungenerous interpretation of the criticism here.

What? No it's not. It seems to me you completely misunderstand WASM by saying "the anatomy of the page is as manipulable as it's ever been through standardized interfaces (DOM)" as that's clearly unchanged with WASM! WASM doesn't even have access to the DOM yet, so literally WASM uses the same JS code browser extensions do.
oh man, you sound like the type of person that would fall for the intentionally misleading labels that makes it sound like one thing but is in fact absolutely not that thing. just yesterday, there was a link to an article about the lies on food packaging.

so, labeling requirements are one thing, but requiring that the information is straight forward and leaves no options for misleading would be great. I just don't think there's ever going to be a way from preventing someone from finding loopholes.

I think this is a strong argument for the need for something like Applets, Flash, and Silverlight to be an open standard. I appreciate the argument you make, but I think the simple counter argument is the ability for the framework to be modified at the developers' collective whim rather than corporate concerns.

This perspective ignores the facts of the case. Freedom of the press never protected the unauthorized release of classified military secrets. That's completely different from being prosecuted simply for publishing articles critical of the CCP. We cannot give journalists blanket immunity to publish military secrets just because the CCP will try to equate it with their jailing of people who simply advocate for democracy.

I think it is already illegal to participate in DDOS. Even though enforcement is .. pretty much nonexistent? And how could you enforce it? It would create an outcry if done consequently. (But maybe a neccessary one)

But it also will be a consumer problem, if they cannot access important services anymore, because their IP has been blacklisted, because their toaster participated in too many DDOS or spam attacks.

Hmm. I'm pretty sure as long as people are willing to give away vintage sofas on Facebook Marketplace because they don't know any better, I'm not going to buy a $11,000 new designer sleeper from DWR. It's not Ikea that's competing with the stuff designers want to make.
One place where LMUL makes a ton of sense is big-little hybrid designs. Your big cores can get wider execution units that can run LMUL=2 instructions natively while your little cores break them up into LMUL=.5 and processes them 4x slower. This lets you avoid the issue Intel 12th gen ran into where the consumer chips lost AVX-512 capability because the little cores only supported 256 wide vectors.

Also code size reduction can be pretty nice. It doesn't show up well in microbenchmarks but lowering load on the front end of your CPU is always nice. It means you get to save a little power or use the area for extra execution units.

Equally as expensive, but really good, team is very responsive and involved with the community, and their customization software is getting better and better.

Worth noting, it is impossible to both have a gun for home defense, and be a "responsible" gun owner. Being a responsible gun owner implies the guns are properly locked up, away from ammunition, because kids regularly play with daddy's guns and kill each other and themselves, but if your gun is locked up in a safe separately from it's ammo like it is often legally required to be, there's no way you can actually use it for home defense.

But everyone still claims they are "A responsible gun owner" because all that actually means to the gun culture in the US is that you are white or rural or conservative.
replacing the firmware can allow knowledgeable users who want to secure their devices to improve the security. it can also allow malicious actors to replace the firmware (or trick users into replacing the firmware) with something less secure. allowing users to replace the software on the hardware they own is also a botnet waiting to happen.

Does anyone really think this? The hassle of buying a new bike alone isn't worth it.
30 years of expected support is pretty unreasonable. Stating a requirement like this makes the discussion about competing dogmas. Rather, it's about the right way to
keep devices operational as long as possible while also allowing companies to remain possible.

30 years of support expectations immediately makes the cost of any device go up to hedge against the risk of fines during the entire 30 years. It also makes it harder to disrupt an industry with hardware at its core.

I don't have a single computing device that has lasted longer than 10 years. Reasonably speaking, either performance or features start to make the device largely obsolete and unusable.

I think a better way to propose this would be the expectation that when a product is EOL, it should be supportable by the buyer for a certain period. This requires figuring out the right period of support. I'd propose something that scales period based on cost or device class. A $1200 phone should be usable for 10 years while a $10 disposable glucose sensor with a battery should not.

> Anyway, I hope that Android becoming more and more user-hostile (and more specifically in this case power-user-hostile) will move more and more people to custom ROMs.

Indeed, Android 5.0 has been that release for me. The redesign left the UI in a state of inconsistent mess, took away dark mode, made my otherwise perfectly performant Nexus 4 sluggish, broke apps...

Custom ROMs were unfortunately not the answer, at least not for me - and TBH I doubt less technical users will appreciate the trade-offs. I've tried SailfishOS, been on Cyanongen/Lineage for a while, but ultimately if you want a device that just works, and works well...

Everything is a compromise, might as well choose Apple.

Or more likely, the thief just resold the stolen bike for $10, thus negatively impacting the economy (preventing legal resellers from operating fairly; forcing people to spend more money and effort on protection; minimizing the efficiency of the person having the bike stolen; raising insurance premiums) and the ecology (steering people towards cars, which are harder to steal, at least without insurance; forcing people to re-buy bikes and stolen goods). Proper wealth redistribution is not stealing, at least not this kind of "petty stealing".
I don't think it would for this specific proposal. The FCC's justification for this rule is that insecure IoT devices "could be manipulated to generate and emit RF energy to cause harmful interference". That's why they have jurisdiction here, because they regulate radio frequency use.
Indeed: why? I suspect the answer is likely to be something worryingly banal, like "we're in debt" (or, "private interest knows a guy who wants to make some money"). Economies run on state-sponsored usury don't tend to last.

I switch backlight colors based on layout. The default typing layer is in my favorite shade of blue, then when I'm on my "ide shortcut/F-key layer" then it switches to a complementary share of orange. When I'm on my "common shortcuts/media control" layer it switches to purple for valid shortcut keys while the media keys have their own color layout to more quickly indicate where back/fwd/play/mute is.

No one says you have to use unicorn vomit colors or a constantly shifting color pattern. But it does look good in a demo and does a great job of indicating that it's not a solid color.
