Here is question for you: why ARM?

Apple users have to switch to ARM because that's what Apple decided to use, but in PC-land you can get more performance out of a new ryzen for less money.

You can rent an ARM VM for the odd occasion you absolutely need an ARM.
You can also use a scheme like the Olympus super-resolution mode where the body drives the sensor using the stabilization voice coil. This totally eliminates chroma boundary artifacts caused by the Bayer filter, and reducing one of these 64MP raw files to B&W looks perfect. The technique is borrowed from Olympus' microscope business (the one that actually kept them in business all these years). I believe other bodies are offering this feature now. Of course there are tradeoffs. The technique is only good for still subjects and the camera must be mounted, because the stabilization does not operate in this mode.
Back in the 80's I had to learn me some COBOL as part of a college course. Obviously nostalgia (now) and inexperience (then) are involved, but I actually quite enjoyed it.

At the time the other stuff I was learning involved Pascal on VMS and DBase II on an 8086, so it was all great fun.
TLDR: Plywood (and to some extent plastic) replaced solid wood. Got imported from overseas rather than made domestically. Shifted from an artisanal market to a low-cost mass market.
USB-C is only the connector. I wonder what the rules say about the protocol used. It is quite possible to use a USB-C connector and use a completely different protocol. They could simply implement the 5v, 500mA capacity of USB 2.0 to be fully compliant with the EU rules, then only implement higher charging speed in their own proprietary Apple USB-C cables.
At a gut level I would be inclined to agree.

I've had an MRI (and had to do the prerequisite 6 weeks of PT).

The MRI is a huge machine. It's in its own room, and they have to be careful about allowing any metal too close to it. The scan itself took about an hour for a couple of different views, a tech had to get my body in the right position and support it with various pads and pillows. You cannot move at all, and if you do, they have to start over. Given the time for the scan itself, plus any setup and cleaning they might have to do, I'd guess one machine could do a dozen or so scans per day. At the hospital I went to, they only did scans two days per week, I don't know if that was because they had limited staff or they need to allow for maintenance/calibration of the machine. Also I had a scan with contrast, and the doc who did the contrast injection also had limited availability.

So there are real limits on the supply of MRI time, my guess is that this drives the price more than anything. It's not like an X-ray that just takes a few minutes.

I don't know where you're from, but here in austria most banks offer 'cardTAN' as an alternative to mobileTAN. I always assumed cardTAN is a thing everywhere...

edit: with cardTAN you get a OTP/TAN 'calculator' into which you put your smartcard to generate TANs on the fly.

I use it because to me this feels more like a real second factor, when I use my mobile for banking.
>takes safety and knowledge of the laws around storing/carrying/brandishing/firing them very seriously.

What matters is what happens when their friend does something dangerous with a gun, and they don't seem to care. My entire family is "responsible gun owner" including my brother who definitely seems to care about safety, but all that goes out the window when another family member brings out the guns at a family BBQ while absolutely drunk. You can bet your ass nobody said anything. If you aren't willing to narc on irresponsible gun behavior, you ARE NOT a responsible gun owner.

Also, Kyle Rittenhouse took a gun across several state lines, possibly stirred up shit, got shot at, and killed the person doing so. While the actual event of shooting was ruled "self defense", how is it "responsible" to take your firearm to a protest with the intent of being a counter protester. If "Anti fa" did such a thing, these people would riot, but Rittenhouse was invited to talk at fucking CPAC.

That's the kind of person these people lionize. They are envious that he was able to kill someone with a gun and get away with it. They want to be him.
B&W negatives are easy enough at home. Though you have to get them into a computer and, at that point, I'd sort of be "Why bother?" (other than a fun retro weekend project possibly). And, yes, printing requires an actual darkroom. After school, I quickly decided that setting something up in spare half-bathroom was for the birds.
> We show that discontinuance is related to dissatisfaction with the convenience of charging, having other vehicles in the household that are less efficient, not having level 2 (240-volt) charging at home, having fewer household vehicles and not being male.

Our next family vehicle will be fully electric. Our current vehicle is a hybrid mini-van, so we have everything we could possibly need as far as storage, range and convenience.

For our electric car I'm looking for something fundamentally new: extreme efficiency, small size / easy to park, surprisingly ample storage, something else I haven't thought of?

I suspect most people's dissatisfaction with their electric vehicle is because they bought something that's slightly cheaper to operate, generates less emissions, but is otherwise just a slightly worse version of an IC car.
Going over expenses together with your partner is important. If you don't have a partner, then you can spend money on whatever you want; you're only going to impact yourself.
I have indeed been to Thailand as well as a lot of Asia. My point is that as many expats are there, most people in the US aren't going to go to another random country simply because there are lower housing costs. While housing costs are correlated with movement of people, there are many other complex factors involved.

I'm a bit disappointed by the new offering and the retirement of the Planck EZ.

I fully understand the decisions that were made, and while ZSA's keyboards are phenomenal, there is no way I'd buy one at a 404€ price point (including French VAT, excluding customs costs which would bump it to around 450€). The Planck EZ was great because its price point made it justifiable, mine coming around at ~320€ including VAT and customs, which is the max amount of money I'd be willing to spend.

I don't think we'll ever see something like the Planck EZ again (as in a very compact and more affordable option) since the Voyager is the new "laptop solution", and that honestly sucks.

(Side note for anyone pedant enough to care: these customs costs are both actual customs import taxes and the fee taken by the courier for customs processes)
I haven’t dug in too deep yet, but I wanted to say that I love this concept!
I think this is honestly just a thing to get used to. I use the semi-colon/quote keys for [] and p/backslash for {}. It means I need to hit a modifier key to hit them, but you always had to hit a modifier key (aka shift) to hit curly brace anyway, so this really isn't a big deal.

With QMK, "layers" aren't this whole giant huge deal. It's like hitting the shift key, except just a different physical key, probably by your thumb.
Speed.

If I need a handful of 5/16" screws, then odds are that I will also need nuts, washers and possibly lock washers. Instead of having to count out 10 each of all of that, I just grab a handful of all of them, toss them into a bag and the cashier weighs them and tells me the cost.
Like I said, I just want a wrapper to make this stuff easier for me. It's just like not everyone wants all that comes with running Arch. Some people like having Ubuntu handle the nitty gritty of a Linux OS. What's wrong with that?
But why? Have they found new gigantic pockets of natural gas rich with helium? Or some scientific breakthrough allowing it to be produced radiologically?
> „If sticker X is not on the package I will get hacked“ is much easier to grasp.

Hmm. In the grocery store, where this idea comes from and has the most persuasive history in govt. regulation, where manufacturers own the front of the package and regulators own the back, what is the healthiest food?

The produce and meat. Which has no nutritional label.

There's no such thing as a secure IoT device. There's absolutely no such thing as a secure connected device that is also cheap.

If you build your computer from commodity parts, it tends to be the longest lasting and most secure. It is usually the most expensive.

Anyway, what would the label for a PlayStation 5 and an iPhone 15 look like? Miles long.

Then, for the consumer buying the cheapest smart plugs off Amazon? Like one paragraph the vendor copied and pasted from the Internet, along with all the other legal shit they deal with.

Whom should be regulated? I guess Amazon and Walmart, the retailers, they are the real gatekeepers. That's what the EU does! Which doesn't fly here. The Waltons live here, not in the EU.
Isn’t it amusing to be discussing HDR processing artefacts when the subjects have full sun illumination, yet the background is pitch black. Without some measure of artistic license, you’re not going to get an image with any contrast without manipulation.
I can see why somebody might not want to attribute that quote properly.
I've been using these types of keyboards for a couple years now, and I find that although the enthusiast community has sort of gravitated towards <50 key layouts, trying to achieve the complex combinations often required by IDEs can be an exercise in dexterity (both physically and mentally).

For example, let's say you need to do Shift-Option-F12. First, you need to hold a modifier to bring your F key layer, possibly a separate or chorded modifier to get you to the F-keys above 10 since you only have have 10 numeric digits. Then, that needs to be compatible with both your shift modifier AND your option modifier, which with only 2 thumb keys per side it probably won't be. So, then you think, oh no worries, I'll just set up a single shortcut that does what I need, but then you end up with a profusion of shortcuts that you need to remember.

I've found that in practice, I can't really go much below 58 keys and 3 layers without requiring tap-and-hold or losing some of my less-frequently used chars (` comes to mind), so I can sympathize with the ancestor posts.
France's voting system is bulletproof when it comes to vote integrity. However, it has one significant drawback: it is hard to ask more complex questions than voting for x/y/z or yes/no questions.

One could say that it is a good thing (since it is hard to have a good public debate on many topics at once, voting on many topics at once means you collect people's preconceived opinions rather than people's informed judgement), but many US states ask many questions at once when people vote, so they would have to significantly reduce the share of direct democracy in their system.

My two cents is that this would be an excellent comment on the record -- I'd love a discussion at the level of defining security risks to be part of the official federal commentary, because this is going to be a thorny implementation problem.
> LZX had supplanted LHA already by 1994.

Firstly - no it didn't. Sorry for nitpicking the nitpick, but the first public release of LZX was February 5, 1995.

Secondly, "LZX supplanted LHA" is an opinion with varying levels of support.

LZX did take the Amiga community by storm, with its higher compression ratios, solid archiving and built-in support for unpacking LhA files, faster than LhA could. Many people started recompressing their archives with LZX... but also many people didn't. Some Amiga magazine coverdisks (e.g. AUI) started using DiskSpare and LZX to get as much on a disk as possible... others stuck with normal disks and LHA.

The majority of Amiga software archives are on Aminet, which is still getting uploads today. Aminet standardized on LhA, not LZX.

Just as a random non-Aminet example, the WHDLoad homepage offers you its software in either LHA or LZX format, your choice. Wouldn't it be LZX only by now if LZX supplanted LHA in 1994?

What the OP said rings true; LhA files are ubiquitous on the Amiga, and also it's possible to portably unpack and create them on other systems. LZX is very popular, but I wouldn't personally say it supplanted LHA, even though I have hundreds of LZX archives.
If you want to learn how to be a digital hermit then that is probably not a bad idea. Directly interacting with humans means dealing with their humanity - and that needs practice.
Yes, but not caring could mean either not understanding or understanding but still not caring.
I haven't looked too thoroughly, but this looks great. I'm kind of surprised they don't have CASB, tho.
Fusion is very unlikely to become a viable energy source in the near-term, but it is something we can use to make helium if we are desperate enough.
So what we need is giant warning stickers on products of which their parent companies don't follow good practices. Kind of like tobacco products.

"Leaks your personal data to unknown servers" Or "Manufacturer typically does not support their products beyond 2 years after which critical features and functions may stop working"
> You might want to think about voltage, but the sort of person who decides they want to look at the mains frequency cycle on a device strapped to their wrist won't be deterred by warning stickers.

You've just reminded me that when I got an oscilloscope to play around with, I found out — by accident and to my surprise — that my body was coupled to the mains frequency strongly enough to see it clearly just by touching the probe.
> For California, drought/water shortage is primarily and agricultural problem, but has been externalized to urban areas and consumers - urban uses are 10%, while 40% goes to agricultural uses.

Yes, agricultural dominates usage, but southern california with no agriculture would still have to transfer water from elsewhere (colorado river, sacramento delta etc) in order to sustain the population.
Assange needs to be released immediately. He is a journalist imprisoned for exposing American war crimes, and every day he spends in prison is another stain in the West's claim of moral superiority to authoritarian regimes.
> Meta have said that people don't come to them for news - [0]. Do you have numbers to counter?

I think the question is does Meta have any numbers to this effect? Their quote is literally: "In contrast, we know the people using our platforms don’t come to us for news."

Meta seems to want it both ways as they state elsewhere: "Though news article links make up less than 3% of what Canadians see in Feed, we estimate that we sent Canada News Page Index-registered publishers more than 1.9 billion clicks in the last 12 months ending in April 2022." So it's both a tiny part for Meta, but also a big part of the Canadian news ecosystem.
I hate to break it to you, but virtually everything at this scale is an estimate based on models and not direct data. We don't e.g. get more reliable GDP numbers because we get hard data; we get it by creating new models that recognize and/or emphasize variables which were previously being ignored.

The reason to be skeptical here is not because "it's an estimate"; it's because it's one group's model, studying a very nascent space for which there's been very little academic research.

What this estimate shows is that this is a clearly very large economy that isn't being rigorously modeled or studied right now. And we should probably devote some resources to that since what happens in this economy will meaningfully contribute to employment and national GDPs.
What is the policy on manufacturer installed backdoors on commodity hardware?

See https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/11/chine... for an example.

Attempting to rule on this might involve conflict with the NSA, which has a decades long history of getting backdoors into commercial tech. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-security-congress-ins... says a bit about this. But a lot of our tech is built in China. They're almost certainly doing the same thing, and history shows that those backdoors get discovered then become a source of security holes for the rest of us.
I've been not-buying IOT trash as hard as I can for decades. But nothing's changing... please tell me how to do this correctly!
I donno, there's a chance that the credit doesn't get used, they charge me interest and fees for missed payment, and I get to spend hours on the phone to get these reversed
In terms of advice, I would for sure start by adding GPS logging into the app. The app logs the ARKit odometry information, which could be a good starting point, but don't know how well that would perform with all that vibration.

It would for sure be a fun experiment, but I think given the extreme conditions, it might be easier to build a custom SLAM sensor rig with a high-quality IMU and several synchronized cameras.
> everyone will be happy?

Shareholders will be happy the day a company produces a new product and no human ever worked on its development.

All of the profits, none of those pesky workers demanding silly things such as payments and OSHA protections.
Suppliers can already make binding promises about their hardware. If you open your wallet wide enough, you can already buy enterprise grade hardware that comes with guaranteed long term support.

OP says, amongst other things:

> I’ve advocated for the FCC to require device manufacturers to support their devices with security updates for a reasonable amount of time [1].

So the offending behaviour in this case would be for a manufacturer not to provide security updates.
Strengthening Massachusetts’s laws, or passing a federal anti-SLAPP law (Gino is suing in a federal district court, because there’s also a Title IX element to her complaint) could make it easier for defendants in the future to recover legal fees when they’re the target of a lawsuit that attacks their protected speech.

Schools like Harvard should also build in protections for whistleblowers, even those with no affiliation, in such cases where the university's own investigation confirms academic misconduct or fraud.
As a n00b, I enjoyed libs with everything in one file cause I didn't know how to drop the lib into my codebase and build otherwise. Like how was I supposed to merge their makefile into mine, I dunno. And my code was in one file cause I was too lazy to mess with .h files.
I think it's just a matter of preference (and maybe a slight generational gap?). I love the rainbow pattern on one of their other keyboards (the retired Planck EZ). IMO it looks very nice on top of a white case which "reflects" the LEDs' color.
Modifier key plus the number row gets you that trivially, and it's no different from having to hit Fn + F-key on a laptop. But even better is that if there are things you use regularly, you can map them up to a more convenient place.
The resolution difference isn't a factor of 2 in both dimensions, comparisons of the M Monochrom and the corresponding color model rather hint to the factor of 2 in the total pixel count which is expected from the mechanics of the color interpolation process. But still it is a noticeable resolution gain. And indeed, you also get at least a stop of exposure.
Regarding Ikea and similar self-assemble furniture - even though the assembly instruction manual does not call for it - use wood glue when assembling. It will make it A LOT stronger and it will even survive moves.

One thing that didn’t make sense to me in the article is a claim that particle board or MDF is lighter than solid wood. I don’t think it’s necessarily true - I have wood furniture made of pine and cherry that is a lot lighter than Ikea pieces. MDF which is commonly used in Ikea is especially heavy, so much so that Ikea inserts a lot of hollow spaces concealed underneath laminate exterior to reduce weight.
Are there climate control issues preventing children from going to school? What I mean is - do the schools have adequate HVAC to keep the school cool, or is it for another reason?

Where I grew up the weather in summer was typically over 85f.

I assume maybe 20-30 years ago the temperature was lower or there were fewer hot days where you're talking about.

I do think it's a concerning sign that instead of addressing the grander issue, the stop-gap solution is to throw more climate control everywhere though.
In 50 years probably the only photos your kids will have from today will be her grandma prints.
I thought this was going to be a barrier for me as well, but after using a Moonlander (one of ZSA's other keyboards) for over a year now, it's not as bad. I have a layer that has F1-10 in place of 1-0, then F11 and F12 are on overflow keys.

I've found that the hotkeys I most frequently use I moved in to more convenient hotkeys/macros (for example code folding/unfolding to three common levels, debugger stepping), while others just stayed where they were.

I would say that you'd probably want to try a larger keyboard than the Voyager though if that's a concern though. I'm reticent to try such a smaller keyboard, and I found the ~70 keys of the Moonlander to be more inline with what I like.
>Having worked in the space I came to the conclusion the only viable secure future is to adopt star topology local networks where local traffic for all devices goes into a single secure regularly updated broker device that then decides what to do with it. Any access out to the Internet or between devices needs to be mediated.

Yes, yours is (IMHO) the only possible way out, still there are things that simply should be not allowed or be only optional, as I see it the "mistake" is confounding the "Internet" in IoT with the "Cloud".
I don't have the problem OP has, I just know something about the system. A better way to phrase this for a useful discussion (rather than unsolicited, assumed advice) would be to say "do you know if volunteer work with children would help alter this perception?".
A relatively small group of people won't have an effect, that's why regulation plays an important role.
Looked up imperial valley agriculture statistics, according to the imperial county farm bureau 500k acres are farmable, of which nearly half are alfalfa and bermuda grass (aka lawn grass).[1]

Would be interesting if someone knowledgeable in this area could comment on water consumption of these vs impact to other food chains, as well as alternatives such as growing it elsewhere and transporting to where livestock that eats it is.

Some searches indicates most newer MRI's are "zero boil-off" machines that recondense most of the helium, and that even older, leaky MRI's might be using (losing) at most ~$20k helium per year.

I'm in London, a MRI here starts at around ~250 pounds or ca. $315.

Meanwhile $20k worth of helium replacement would be ~$55/day spread across all uses of the machine.

So I'm inclined to think you're right.

The more likely reason for the 6 week PT:

Most things for which you as a patient might want an MRI for that aren't obviously not something physio will help with are things you will end up needing physio for.

I'm assuming they've done a simple cost benefit analysis where the proportion of cases where they actually need MRI's are low enough that it's cheaper to just send people straight to physio first.
