Fantastic stuff. I work for IPinfo.io and I actually came across your site about a month ago. I was planning to contact to you about mentioning the free IP databases [0].

However, when I saw that a few API didn't return any response, I thought maybe the site was not maintained.

I find the geographic coordinate values returning up to 15 decimal places is absurd for an IP geolocation response. IP geolocation is never that precise and, this level of "precision" is not warranted and frankly distracting. Like at best it should be 4 decimal places.

Elon Musk starred a fad. The other tech leaders had to get in on the fad or seem out-of-date. The thing about fads is you don't do them because they're useful or because you thought it out; you do it because everyone else is and you don't want to look stupid for being left behind.

Owners of tech companies aren't immune to the same foibles that drive all of us; they just have more money.

No one will know until we are in it, but I have read that historically the recession starts once the Fed pivots and starts lowering interest rates.

If we make it out of this with a true soft landing, then Powell should go down as one of the best Fed Chairs in history.

Although, with inflation so high it wouldn't shock me to revise the definition of recession to include some inflation component. Because even though GDP is still growing, the average consumer definitely feels like they are in one.

It could probably track vehicles, sure.

But vehicles don't need the indoor tracking, or the home base station, and when moving have nigh-unlimited battery power available.

So I imagine it depends on how much those features are adding to the price. Also, it looks like the device isn't commercially available, and with BGAs etc it's not easy to DIY either.

True, but my impression is that large scale layoffs don't tend to be well targeted. It is almost impossible for them to be well targeted, just because of the needs for secrecy driving decisions into places far removed from day to day operations.

I've tried all the major pet trackers. Most of them are too big for cats. Many of them are just Bluetooth which doesn't help at all when your cat gets far away. The better ones have Bluetooth, wifi, LTE, and GPS.

The ones with more than Bluetooth try to be clever to preserve power and only enable the other radios in certain situations. I haven't found one that does this well yet. I would prefer they use more power and track better. For something moving like a cat, you really need better tracking.

There are a few uses cases I want to work well:

1) I want to know when my cat leaves home and then be able to find him with realtime GPS.

2) I want to find my cat when he's home. He can easily decide to nap under a bush in my yard and then he's impossible to find.

The most common one I see people using is Tractive. I personally found it literally useless. When you're close to home, it only enables Bluetooth and your phone app is basically looking for the signal strength of the tracker's Bluetooth. I found that my phone (Samsung Ultra S22) didn't sense my cat unless I was 15-20ft away, which isn't very helpful as I already have to know where he is.

The one I decided to use is JioBit. When you're close to home (based on it sensing your home wifi) it only has Bluetooth enabled but it makes a connection to your phone. I found this to work over about 50ft. When connected, you can ring a bell on the tracker and find your cat. Pretty useful. When your cat is away from home, it only updates the GPS location every 5-15 minutes over LTE which I find too infrequent. Another annoyance is that it only does GPS tracking when your cat is too far from your home wifi. My cat can get way beyond Bluetooth range but still close enough to detect my wifi and then I have no tracking at all.

What I would really like is something like the JioBit but with better connectivity. I want:

1) It to check in with a server every few minutes. Using wifi when home or LTE when not home. I want this because I want to be able to enable realtime gps tracking when I'm looking for my cat.

2) When realtime tracking is enabled, actually be realtime. Give me updates every 15 seconds at least.

3) Give me the ability to ring the device over wifi or LTE.

The JioBit can last a few weeks in its current mode. I'm willing to cut that down significantly. And I really don't mind it burning power when I'm actively trying to find my cat.
Oh, huh, I actually didn't realise Bard _had_ launched here.

This isn't really a technical issue; some small criminal entity could run an AI bot on Tor (or even, realistically, on the open internet) which forwarded all your personal data directly to the North Korean government and the Mafia or whatever, and realistically they'd get away with that. But if there's a large company behind the service, then that company is going to have to _obey the law_, and no amount of technology will change that.

Ahhh fonts, where everyone gets an opinion and they're all super important.

If you're designing a font not just for legibility, but primarily for safety, then it seems extremely important that each glyph is uniquely distinguishable from other glyphs. Although this font has different characters for 1/I/l, at a quick glance an uppercase i could still be confused with a pipe (|), and 0 (zero) and O (capital o).[1] I'm sure there are more. So from that standpoint, this font fails for me for legibility/safety.

Also a nitpick, but assuming Chrome is using 60pt B612 font for the title (../fonts/B612-Regular.woff), the "B/6/1" glyphs are hideously formed (that "1" puke) and make me doubt the rest of the character set.

So why don't they just block those accounts?

If they're all authenticating centrally for access to these servers and I assume lots of accounts per server, they could just stick a fair client limit on accounts (eg limit the number of new clients from multiple IPs, existing clients could roam networks without limit).

What they're proposing seems like a very shortsighted grasp for the cheapest solution, ignoring the fact that many paid users are looking at Jellyfish et al.
This is such a good idea. I know that everyone in the Western World is told that they eat too much but people need to be able to buy food and eat it. And if the same packaging this week has 90% of what it had last week then then consumers are going to suffer.

In the UK many people rely on Food banks and parents skip meals to feed their children. Cutting the amount of food in a package in a manner that is not even visible without carefully examination is a morally dubious practice.

Corporate profits are high. This is one of the reasons why.
I remember reading about Nitinol in Coevolution Quarterly back in the 1970s (the quarterly magazine from the Whole Earth Catalog). I've been a little sad to almost never come across any uses for it after all that time, and this idea doesn't make me feel much better.

The one thing I have heard about it's use in: some very sophisticated medical stent-like technology where the shape during insertion is totally different from the shape in use.

Fujitsu ScanSnap is a highly recommended product. I have one on my desk that I bought over ten years ago -- it's slightly larger than a box of facial tissues (kleenex), all I have to do to scan is open the two "flaps", insert document, press a button, then assign a file name and folder (easy once a history list is established). Scans color or B&W, single side or duplex.

Humans have considerably more ability to think through the logic of a decision. And as other commenters mentioned, the difference in the level of effort to go see a chimp in person versus the effort of sending a spacecraft across astronomical distances is huge.

I don't agree with the form of the argument here either - "the aliens are so advanced that you can't possibly fathom their reasons." Or even, more charitably - "the aliens are so advanced that a trip to see humans is trivial." In either case, stating "they're so advanced that we can't possibly make sense of them" doesn't mean the question's not valid.

> cats are deadly to many smaller species that's why if you're against that then you shouldn't get a cat at all.

Many people who have cats do so by adoption of strays found in their area so not getting a cat is the same as letting a cat roam free in that area without a safe space and consistent food source.

The whole "prisoner" argument seems so dumb to me when we've already decided as a society that it's in the best interests of society to neuter/spay as many cats and dogs as possible to prevent an explosion in the stray population. Do you think we shouldn't do that because you wouldn't neuter/spay yourself?
I'm thinking this might be healthier. When I was a kid it seemed normal that money in the bank would accrue real interest. Now that mine's doing that, something just feels right about it, like things are back in balance. Take my money, loan it out, pay me a little something back.

> The core argument of the danger of deflation is "no one will buy anything if they know the price is going to come down". I can point to several counter examples and I can't get a straight answer why this is not true in these examples, or why deflation is so dangerous not relying on that argument

I don't think this is the core argument of anything, assuming you are talking about consumer spending. a large chunk of consumer spending is on daily necessities like food. even with luxury items, deflation has to be quite strong to outweigh the desire to "have it now". inflation/deflation are most impactful to entities that are sitting on large amounts of cash. this does not describe the majority of consumers.

my understanding is that the major issue with deflation is on the investment/credit side. if you can get a solid risk-free return on your pile of cash, it lowers the incentive to do risky things like start a business or lend money to others to start a business. eventually the lack of credit and new investment decreases production to the point of reverting to an inflationary environment. this could either be a slow oscillation between the two or periodic shocks.

at 15-20% reduced pay
Sure, you can make whatever you want from the original designs (but note not from any elements from figurines or films or anything else DC made that deviate from the comics).

However, that in and of itself isn't depriving DC of anything, as they're no worse off financially than if whatever you make never existed. Arguably, if you create something that's a runaway financial success, and someone has to choose between buying your thing and the DC produced thing, then sure maybe then DC loses a sale. But sales are rarely binary like that. If you do something that promotes the brand, it probably benefits DC's sales as well.

The only thing that might actually impact on their profit is someone producing an exact copy of the original comics, at a lower price, and of better quality. Even then, people might still buy the DC version so it matches the rest of their collection. And if it is an exact, exact copy of the original comic, there's always a risk there might be something with a DC copyright on it, e.g. the font that's used in the title, maybe a reference to some other DC property, etc...

To me (not really into gamedev actually so chances are I'm completely wrong) it seems like nowadays, when physics and reneding is done in hardware and game engines bundle so much logic and are shared among so many games, creators will soon be able to give up coding (anything except scripts) and concentrate on selling pure content. Users will then purchase compatible engines from engine developers or use open-source engines.
This is incorrect. They are basing the numbers in January based on previous install numbers, not "from this point on."

Note, it's not sales, it's installs. And it's not new installs.

That you keep saying sales really means you aren't fully informed about the changes and should spend some time researching this.
