> It seems really hard to get this 100% fair

It is, for all the reasons you mentioned, and nobody is aiming for that. He just found and demonstrated a cheat (bug) that the platform itself should have no issue detecting - changing weight mid race

Zwift uploads race results to ZwiftPower and removes any cyclists that are outliers and it assumes are cheating. 8w/kg would be a big outlier. But it looks like the platform calculates w/kg based on the cyclists' ending weight. So if you change your weight to 25kg right after the race begins and back to 65kg before the end - while cycling at 200w, then Zwift's cheat detection system calculates your w/kg as ~3w/kg, which is completely reasonable and would not get caught. But cycling at 8w/kg is far far faster than 3w/kg

The article is overblown. He's not trying to end cheating altogether. He found a bug and demonstrated it
I also don't really understand the wisdom of locking criminals up in a cesspool of other criminals where they can teach each other the tricks of the trade and work on building their networks. The way it's now it's too much like 'crime school'.

I don't think it's really about not getting their basic necessities of life. More about just not knowing anything else to do with their lives.

Especially for smaller crimes like store theft, it would make a whole lot more sense to put them in community service so they will be surrounded by real communities with people focused on making an honest living.
That's like calling ping a DoS tool.
They knew it was inevitable.

Pretty much every take posted under your thread here about luddites is a terrible one.

People in this thread don't seem to understand what the more archaic form of "preserve their way of life" actually means.

It means not starving to death. Back then there was no social safety net. Once your trade was not needed back then you were likely kicked to the street. There was not retraining to learn some new trade.

This is something in the times of "Learn 2 code", or "Go be a plumber" that we hear tossed about so casually. When you cause mass unemployment in a trade, especially very rapidly, you can destabilize society, you can induce crime, and even if you're not directly affected by the trade, you can be indirectly affected by the instability of the changing employment market.
The Swedish way is better.
Fair enough, I've generally gone with cheaper lower end products and some of them EoL, some die, but I write that off as a nature of playing with more little computers than my ancestors could have ever imagined.

It probably is important to note that like many modern tech systems, they aren't "hands free" automation. Patches come out, things desync from the network, etc.

To me the closed ecosystem is just a nice user experience. Explaining to my mom how to download Whatsapp is simple with just one way to do it. All apps are downloaded the same way. There’s one login. One payment method. Everything kinda “just works” and Apple does its best to keep apps sandboxed and secure. To the typical end user, a more open environment is just more choice and more headache.
Webkit is __not__ stable in any sense. It is the most buggy render engine I even seen. To make things even worse. Safari restrict the debugging of itself and also viewing the logs in the name of "s e c u ri t y". So you can't even see the reason that causes crashs and workaround it.

You're not wrong but it's worth considering that life wouldn't exist otherwise. The choices are not kill or let live, the choices are kill or do not breed at all. They breed these animals specifically to kill them.

If you visit areas with less domesticated animals that forage semi wild with shepards that check in now and again you might struggle to tell the difference between a sheep and a goat - the varieties of each are broader than many people realise and there is a considerable degree of visual overlap in the full spectrum of Sheep Vs. Goat.

> The medical system is a reflection of pop parenting culture

Indeed. And not just in relation to parenting. The average doctor is constantly trying to emulate TV doctors, just like the average police detective is influenced by what they see on CSI, and every archaeologist wants to be Indiana Jones or Lara Croft. It would be hilarious, if it didn't have such disastrous consequences for regular people every day.
And they still mark their own email as spam and even phishing after 25 years.

Now the talking point is 'well sure, they have 7nm. But if we cut off their duv stepper access they won't be able to maintain the steppers they have. And definitely won't be able to make euv steppers'.

Meanwhile in reality they already have at least 28m DUV steppers indigenously built and are rumored to have a few 7nm capable DUV steppers doing shuttle runs. And are doing really neat things in the EUV space taking a different direction than ASML, essentially using a particle accelerator rather than a tin laser.

It's been clear now for over a decade that every time we cut them off from a technology they produce indigenous versions. We cut them off of chips to go in a supercomputer and within five years they had the world's fastest supercomputer on indigenous designed chips with Tianhe-2.
Google has been a constant part of my life from early 2000's and I'm grateful to them for providing so many useful products. Most of them were awesome and worked fully without annoying ads or subscriptions. They will come with something new (usually unannounced) and I will be so excited to try it. Technically, they would almost work from day one. Needless to say, I was a Google fanboi during the first decade of the company. Google Search, GMail, Maps, News, Android, Chrome... thanks Google for all these great products. For a commercial company, they had high ethical standards and still seem better than most competition.

Thank you Google, you've made a dent in the universe!

> Jailing the shoplifter doesn't do one iota of good when it's an organized crime ring

Not true. First, attaching penalties to the theft will reduce the pool of willing thieves. Second, under threat of prosecution, the thieves can turn on their handlers and cooperate with investigators. But when the law states that there are no consequences for theft, there is also no incentive to do this.
It's not just small businesses, it's big businesses too. It's just normalised when they do it somehow. Rather than cracking down on small businesses for wanting the same privileges that big businesses get, I'd say we should apply the same rules to everyone; allow individuals to deduct work expenses under literally the same rules that businesses can.
Got it. So the DA is supposed to not only be an expert in the law, but enough of an expert in medicine such that he can flaunt widely acknowledged medical standards while cross-examining expert witnesses on why they're wrong.

The author of this post admitted that it took him countless hours to discover that medicine basically has this issue wrong and only after being particularly motivated to do so. If the DA has so much medical expertise that they know better than the doctors, then what exactly is he doing being a DA?

The idea that the main purpose of the DA is to know better than doctors is ludicrous.
Ugh, tired of hearing this same old shit.

Do you believe the luddites would have burned the looms if instead this offer would have been on the table

Oh, look, a social safety net actually can benefit capital owners and keep their factories from burning.
Yeah, that's a conceivable use case for a dedicated box, I guess. But why would that be necessary (or desirable?) Seems like opening port 80 would be the last thing you'd want a home appliance to do... lol

That is one thing Wyze doesn't have: A dimmer.

I don't use colored lights, but you could use smart bulbs or fixed colored lights controlled via smart plugs depending on your use case. Or just get something with built in multi color, like LED strips.

There are some LED strips that maintain programming thru powering off, just like how oil radiators with physical switches maintain settings thru powering off. These devices work great with smart plugs, and in the case of an oil radiator can be hooked up to a smart thermostat for a cheap man's smart home, fully portable for moving or apartment swapping.

I can do a longer write up if you're curious.

40nm prediction must be based on that apart from EUV even DUV export will also be banned. That will be bad and China must be stockpiling everything it can before that happens.

I think the idea is to extend the no. of years lead US+ has. China will have to replicate one of the most complex supply chain ever seen. They will use all measures possible so would be interesting to watch.

Russia is also a major actor in the adversarial disinfo space. Especially against the US, NATO and the EU.

background: worked on a US State Department project to help counter them. Technically China's anti-Taiwan efforts too. But we cared most about Russia. I did, anyway.

my side project, Slartboz, also deals with the topic of adversarial propaganda & disinfo, and the efforts of amoral, anti-democratic nation state actors like Russia and China.

"What happened is that during my literature review, I disturbingly realized that what I had been told at the hospital, namely that subdural and retinal hemorrhage in infants are almost always caused by violent shaking even in the absence of external evidence of trauma, was an assertion based on very weak scientific foundations. And yet, this “shaking hypothesis” (sometimes referred to as the theory of the “triad”, since encephalopathy is frequently associated with the other two signs, subdural and retinal hemorrhage) has been taught as though it was a proven fact to generations of physicians all over the world. Every year, thousands of children are removed from their parents, and thousands are prosecuted, convicted, and even incarcerated, on the basis of this assertion. Law professor Deborah Tuerkheimer qualifies SBS/AHT as a “medical diagnosis of murder”. The very least we should expect for an assertion this powerful is that it should be based on reliable scientific foundations."

This is why using experts for advice is great but everyone should still be encouraged to do their own research.

as an adult, the magical aspect was that this was a series where the books were coming out on a regular cadence, and millions of people were invested in the series while it was still being written. I can think of very few other recent examples of that - the game of thrones books, but they basically stopped coming out, and everything else was either not an ongoing series or had a much more limited audience.
It's not weird; many people have made the same point. There's nothing stopping governments or telcos from laying cables if they think it's a good idea.
Xi feels he is losing power isn't a China-crash necessarily.

The US economy doesn't stop when we switch leaders regularly.

Certainly there would be changes but they aren't predictable. (For instance the new leadership could censor even more due to not having as established based on less as they got into power by promising less invasive actions)

The exact same problem occurs with Nest. It's a big shithole of abandonment.
When it comes to "justifiable reasons for leaving your partner, the person you love and trust", infidelity is right up there near the top. You seem to be implying that the victim whose trust was irrevocably shattered should also be saddled with the financial burden which resulted from the act of infidelity. If that's how you truly feel then I'll just leave it at, "I disagree." There's not enough common ground to argue upon constructively otherwise.

I mean it isn't the first time that narratives about China's collapse have surfaced; they've been going on since the 2000s. Take anything you read about China on western boards with a pinch of salt; vice versa for the other side too.

When Ikea came out with smart home stuff, I bet that they would get it right, or at least not as bad as the others (I previously suffered through the enshitification of Samsung's SmartThings).

If you know where to find the mesh view of your zigbee network, the one that has all of the links between the nodes rendered using bezier curves, at the bottom of that page there are three icons. The first icon is called Network, and if you view that page there should be an option for editing the channel That the zigbee network is on.

Tapping that option should bring up a dialogue that lets you migrate to a different channel with a warning about how some devices may not automatically migrate and will need to be removed and re-added if so.

You're advocating against v8 monopoly, where no one is forcing it down on anyone, by holding a candle to the actual enforced monopoly of WebKit? Where's consumer choice in this and how about having an actual choice dictate what is used and what isn't?

Let me quote from a familiar case: "Antitrust laws ensure one company doesn't control the market, deplete consumer choice, and inflate prices. Microsoft was accused of trying to create a monopoly that led to the collapse of rival Netscape by giving its browser software for free."

Everyone getting covid and slowing transmission aren't incompatible. In the no lockdown, no vaccine world, everyone gets covid in ~100 days. With vaccines that period is a lot longer (roughly a year?) even though omicron has roughly twice as high a transmission rate. The simplest proof that vaccines have an effect on transmission is the number of infected people by vaccine status. There have been dozens of studies of this (see https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccine-effectiven...) but this really is one where you can just eyeball the effects https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/10/28/us/covid-brea....

Property seems to be a special case. There has always been this taxation in America. It was never understood otherwise. If by working you mean income taxes. Well they had to pass an amendment to allow it. Again, the question of a arms sold in commerce being subject to a general sales tax is different than what this is. Which is a excise tax aimed at arms because the California legislature and governor hate our freedoms and are throwing shit at the wall to restrict, make acquisition and possession as difficult as possible to people from even trying.

After actually meeting the kid and getting to know our love her, I couldn't think of anything more devastating than finding out she's not mine.

As an electronics guy with both backend and frontend programming experience for me there are three routes when it comes to my home infrastructure:

1. Buy something dumb, non-smart, non-cloud

2. Build it myself

3. Buy something that can be hacked and used with my own infrastructure

The problem isn't even their infrastructure, it is that they decide when they want to change it. Even if it was all good faith changes, that could be a reliability issue and force me to dedicate time to the issue on their whim. I don't like that. If I run such things myself I can decide myself when to update and how much time I want to invest when (provided the system is decoupled from the public internet).

And this point isn't even about any single company trading the good will of their customers bit by bit — it is just about me not having to jump when their service changes or ends for whatever reason (and there are many).

In a world where people are incarcerated on a scale unprecedented in all of human history, and where prosecutorial success is measured by number of scalps taken, the assumption that this is plain malice designed to let the state rob a few more individuals of their freedom makes much more sense than it all being just a big pile of incompetence and misunderstandings.

It's interesting, Amazon also put a lot of mom and pop businesses out of business during this time period as well. The overhead that used to go to local commercial property owners, independent trucking and warehousing companies and such now all goes to Amazon. It's a total monopoly in the old school robber barron sense. Not only do they own the railroad they also own the steel plant and the coal mine.
