The article seems to be implying that remote workers drive more because they live in more rural places, and some also take “several short trips” throughout the day that add up to more driving than their commute would have been. But why are they taking lots of short trips? To do errands that they would otherwise have done on the weekends? I don’t have any intuition about this.
I was trying to put your original "100$ isn't unreasonable" into context. I think making a comparison between a roll of graphite dipped in some lithium salt and an entire computer made up of billions of transistors is a reasonable one.

You didn't address my parent question either. Because you either don't know (that's fine), or don't want to address the fact that there's very little that has changed in smartphone battery (or any lithium-ion battery, for that matter) composition or manufacture in a long while.

> I think you'd find that attempting to repair the NUC you highlighted would soon exceed the $100 if you needed to do anything more than very basic repairs.

Well I thought you didn't see the point of this comparison, so I don't know why you want to open that can of worms ;) But okay! A replacement 1TB nvme SSD costs 40 bucks (that's a new, in retail box, btw). A used stick of 16GB RAM costs 30 bucks. A used i5-6500T is 30 bucks.

Since you don't like comparing apple to ora--- er, batteries to computers, how about this? An iPhone 13 Max battery harvested from a broken-screen unit can be had for 30EUR on eBay. Except Apple doesn't want you to have that option. It wants to be the only game in town, and have folks like you justifying its monopolistic and unsustainable behavior.
I don't think you've really clarified anything. It is a trade: ensuring greater freedoms for the end user by adding restrictions -- by definition "not freedom" -- to developers/distributors.

I'm not saying that's a bad trade off to make, but it is absolutely a fact that the GPL takes away some rights. Or, since it is a copyright license, where the default in copyright is you get no rights, you might instead say it does not give all possible rights. I think it's important to recognize that sometimes "the greater good" comes at a price.
I cannot fathom having so much money that I would find the best use of some of it to buy some trivialities like these. And what obligation would I feel to them after purchase? Oblige every visitor to my home to ooh and aah at them? How incredibly boring.
Remote advocates by and large aren't arguing for abolition of offices. Only a choice.

And remote work can also be done from co-working spaces. Or with occasional all-hands IRL.

Hospitals and doctors don’t do this. It’s unethical to deny someone treatment because you’re not sure they can pay.
I misread the title as "$10 a year" and was hyped, then was thoroughly disappointed when reality set in.

I already have too many subscription services. $10 for some occasional weekend web searches won't do.

This. IIRC some famous security researcher responsible for iOS jail-breaks was poached by Apple only to leave after 3 months.

Successful and skilled security people with a proven track record, don't have the paciente of putting up with the charade such large orgs require.
> Apple has way more than 10 full time researchers looking at iOS all day.

Yes

> They also have a really generous bug bounty.

Hell no
Thank you so much for the response! This is really good info!
Trying to invoke taboos about human remains is weird. There are plenty of things that apply to cellphones that don't apply to human bodies and vice versa. It sounds like a skit out of "Who's line is it anyway". Still, cremation happens in many cultures around the world, for various reasons.

Fascinatingly, in the distant past, protecting cadavers was actually a thing! They used to have to have guards, among other methods, to protect the bodies of the deceased from being used for scientific research in the 18 and 19th century.
Food is the only thing congress has happened to manage. Prices have been low and stable for generations due to agricultural policies. Everything else has spiraled out of control.
Very cool. Thank you for this.
Make is a language for making build systems. CMake is a build system that uses Make written by people who haven't read the manual. Anybody touching build systems at all needs to do themselves a huge favor: read the GNU Make manual to be able to write a Makefile to support a small project. This isn't difficult, and gives you wonderful perspective about what build systems are great and which aren't. CMake is good if you need to support many different unixes and xcode and visual studio. If you don't, then cmake gives you lots of pain for no benefit.

Make is simple and good-enough for most cases. I use this: https://github.com/dkogan/mrbuild

But it's not special and there are lots like it. And they are all infinitely better than cmake
The original complaint was that Godot’s C# bindings have a raycast method that returns a dictionary. The reply article point out that this is a legacy of an earlier, less performant, C# implementation and that the work to clean it up was already under way. My point is only that raycasts are already something that you want to avoid; the extra work of allocating a dictionary each time you call it is unfortunate but not fatal.
Think the other poster has a point. You probably do have node on your desktop but it’s not guaranteed to be on a server where terminal editors shine
Subaru engines are sometimes used in DIY small airplanes and they work well without overheating.

65 is really not so old that anyone's likely to die in the next 6 months.
Do they not realize the damage is done
yeah, CMake helps if not everyone is running the same compiler/environment as you.

If your code only ever runs with gcc on Linux though, Make works pretty well..
Eh, not really Haier so much. Their namesake came from a joint effort with Liebherr in the 80s, and they've pretty much been legit since.
And in many cases, that much power transports a single person and occasionally a few bags of groceries.

edit: By point of comparison, a good cyclist produces about 100 watts, probably less if they're on a leisurely cruise. That's about 2% of the wattage of a car engine.
make is not very well suited for extremely large projects (Android or some other OS distribution for example). Bazel works best in such scenarios. it is not just for C++, it has support for other languages too, and in IMO it works better than other complex build systems such as Yocto for large projects.

CMake is not a competitor to make, it is just a tool to generate makefiles with cross platform support. More suited for opensource C++ libraries.
That's fine, you can always use something like Perl or Python then. But at some point, it certainly seems like all people want to do is run shell commands, and a shell script is still the best way to do that.
EAL4+ is useless against the prevailing threat actors as can be seen time and time again. There is no point at aiming for inadequate; even if you get there you still get nothing.

EAL6-7 certifications are basically the only known, existing certifications that have any evidence supporting that they are adequate to defend against the known and expected threats. As far as I am aware, there are no other certifications even able to distinguish products that can viably protect against organized crime and commercial spyware companies. Existing products max out every other certification and we know for a fact those products are ineffective against these threat actors. Therefore, we can conclude that those certifications are useless for identifying actual high security products adequate for the prevailing threat landscape.

Sure, if we had some other certification that could certify at that level and was more direct, that would be nice. But we do not, the only ones that we know to work and that products have been certified against are Common Criteria EAL6-7 (and maybe EAL5). We can either choose certifications that are cheap and do not work, or ones that work. Then, from the ones that work, we can maybe relax the requirements carefully to identify useful intermediate levels, or identify if some of the requirements are excessive and unnecessary for achieving the desired level of assurance.

However, the key takeaway from this is not whether we can certify products to EAL5 and higher or whether those certifications work or the cost-benefit of that certification process. The key takeaway is that EAL4 is certainly inadequate. Any product in commercial use targeting that level or lower is doomed to be useless against the threat actors who we know will attack it.
Vioxx was handled terribly by Merck and the FDA. But if you talk to practicing physicians who actually prescribed it to their patients, many think it shouldn't have been withdrawn from the market. For certain patients it was very effective and worth the risks. We have other drugs on the market today with equally severe side effects. It would have been better to just add a prominent "black box" warning to the label.

Not specifically social media sites, getting through prevention would be difficult and there are already a lot of existing companies working on scraping popular social media sites.

Interesting idea, we're definitely looking into coupling OCR and LLMs today but not for that particular case. I think raw language models with a good workflow are typically good enough to extract structured data from things like books

ML training is definitely one area we can see this being useful. General data aggregation across a large industry (clothing, retail, etc) is something we want to look into. Also RPA style workflows involving multi-click actions across a variety of sites
Some meta-commentary about executive leadership: the skills required to gain such a position are orthogonal to the skills required to exceed at such a position.
Clarifying Questions:

1) What type of person gets hired as CEO?

2) What type of person excels as CEO?

3) What type of person seems most suited to being a CEO while actually being least suited?

Possible Answers:

1) the salesmen, the connected, the take-crediting, the attractive, the eloquent, the politically savvy, the ambitious, the tactical

2) the decisive, the persevering, the give-crediting, the communicative, the empathetic, the trustworthy, the humble, the strategic

3) When confidence is unwarranted

Both types of people have high confidence, but only one type has a good reason to be confident. Both types are effective in making plans and executing upon them, but where the first type’s plan’s focus on personal success, the second type’s plans focus on mutual success.

Is there a good way to distinguish between the two? Yes, but subtly — have their former direct reports gone on to success outside of the candidate’s current sphere of influence? The first type will drag along the people they can trust to support their personal ambitions, elevating them in the process. The second type will elevate their direct reports without grasping on to them as life preservers in choppy political seas.

Being a good CEO is a very difficult job, and should be rewarded. It is the most important job anyone can have at a company. It is also the hardest to fill with the right person, given the hordes of ill-suited confidence men seeking their own stardom.

Hey, sorry that you got bitten; it must have been a catastrophic problem judging by how upset your comments are. If XMPP does what you need then I’m genuinely glad for you :)
That's not always the case. Some hospitals will still keep a record of the unpaid bill on your account even after they pass the debt to a collector, and the collector will report whether you pay to the hospital.

The practice and billing parts of the system are usually mostly separate, so the person checking you in for your appointments may not know or have any way to see that you have unpaid bills and you won't necessarily be denied care for it, but there's no real standard here either.
Do you live in California? I know CA has much more consumer-friendly restrictions on sending medical bills to collections. It essentially can’t happen in CA.

I recently had a conversation with a large tech company that went basically "We saved a ton of money by replacing all of tier 1 support with AI chatbots so that the problem can be identified and routed to the correct tier 2 person to triage before it goes to a tier 3 person if it needs to. Next we're replacing all of the tier 2 people and the only time we have to get an expensive human involved are the weirdest/most difficult problems." My reply: "where do tier 3 people come from if they have no experience at tier 1 or 2". Queue the sound of crickets...

I'm not holding my breath, but it would be nice. The best chance would be if democrats won the election while losing the popular vote, since that would likely get conservative states on board.
Medical “debts” are almost always unilateral fees you never agreed to. No provider will state upfront what the fees will be! I got billed after the birth of my first child for services that had not been rendered by a physician who wasn’t even present, which my attorney characterized as “fraud” in a stern letter but that the hospital viewed as “debt”. I prevailed obviously but imagine the range of outcomes.
In all fairness, that might be your bias talking. I dont know the site but have had great talks with weaponry nerds, they generally arent much stranger then train or history nerds. And pack the right amount of pedantry to be interesting.

edit: To give just one example, /r/syriancivilwar had great discussions about armaments across as diverse of a political background as you can come up with. That is before they got overrun by propagandists ofc but the point stands. I rarely encountered caricatures among weaponry nerds while the allegation of bias often comes from people with very entrenched worldviews.

You will likely be able to check if that applies to you if you are able to word what bias you expect in such communities. And how much that matches caricatures your political ingroup spreads.

Originally, all cable channels were ad-free, because you paid for them.

There were several tiers in cable. Over the air channels being retransmitted (mostly with commercials, except PBS) A small number of premium channels led by HBO that were an extra fee. Then "basic channels" a bunch of non premium channels like TBS, ESPN, MTV, USA Network that had ads. Some basic cable channels didn't have ads. Then there were public benefit channels without ads like C-Span, and local public access. But from the earliest days, there were ad supported cable channels.

I've never been asked this question, but I think I'd respond similarly. In fact, when I think of Rome, I think of Greece. They are nearly inseparable for me, but that's probably because my understanding of history is the history of western philosophy. You start with the Socratics, then read about the neo-platonist in Rome.
Not only is it not generous (relatively speaking), but actually getting paid can be extremely annoying.

>It soon turned out Merck had known of potential lethal side effects even before launching Vioxx in 1999, but had brushed all such disturbing tests under the rug.

I don't trust this line.

I suspect that preliminary tests show all kinds of extreme possibilities. Positive and negative.

How many dangerous side effects never came to be?

How many supposed benefits never came to be?

Why should they have paid particular attention to this dangerous side effect? The article doesn't make it clear.

And for the record, I believe drug companies don't have our best interests at heart and that the FDA is captured by industry.
Yeah, that's the one Bill Gates raved about...

"Doomscrolling"? "Mental wellbeing"? Everything is great, a-okay for me, the problem is I've read enough history and know enough about contemporary technology to see quite clearly where this all is going. Don't you?

Is this why the LTE capable Apple Watch has a red ring on the crown? I assumed it was just a status cue.

Regardless, I would be completely happy with Apple having to make a compromise on the case like they do with the iPad.

Years ago we senior engineers stood around while an intern was in the dumpster grabbing stuff for us so we didn't have to get dirty.

At a country grid level, we already generate enough electricity with plenty to spare. Usage has dropped from it's previous peak years ago. There's always going be areas that are harder to hook up with extra high powered lines quickly. This has nothing to do with whether the grid can cope or not.

I think there is a useful LLM based solution (chrome extension or something) here where you ask it (with some trial and error), to only list constructive responses, hhh. I am only half kidding, most of internet feedback is useless, even here, but the ones that matter do matter someone somewhat exponentially, so you'd want them. You can even allow it a margin of error.

It's entirely up to the hospital and the collectors they use (if they use any at all) how aggressively they pursue unpaid bills and whether they will involve your credit report to encourage people to pay. If you've mostly been going to the same places (or as another comment said, live somewhere where it's not as easy to send medical bills to collections), I can see it not really being a problem for you.
