Ahhhh, Amazon PillPack/Amazon Pharmacy/Jeff's Benzos.

My company changed FSA card providers and PillPack wouldn't let me use my FSA card moving forward because they kept trying to put a $1 preauth on it which my FSA card vendor kept rejecting. Pillpack's response was "lol, too bad" and I ended up having to go back to traditional pharmacy services.

From there I ended up moving onwards to try using medication dispensers to help me keep track of my medications -- finding Hero Health, using that happily for a couple years, until they decided to raise the service price from $30 to $50 a month for just the dispenser alone.

Now I use a multi-partition vitamin cup with custom-printed labels (giant quantity indication, photo of each pill, markings/imprints, and name/dosage) and just manually dispense each pill and twist.
> Exempting services from data caps is not against net neutrality,

It certainly sounds exactly as if it is. It is preferring one service's data over another.
I think it's fundamentally possible but the training set needed might be so large that you're better off just actually cataloging the DNA of most humans and pulling up the picture of the closest match.

Who is "you" then in this quote: "You have medical insurance? Lovely - you will be forced to submit the claim yourself. When you visit the medical services supplier (doc, hospital, pharmacy, etc) for non-emergency services[1], you will be liable for the bill, and so you will have to lookup what that/those particular code/codes cost/s."
Yes. My first thought was smart meters.

I'm confused though because this [1] gives different timelines.

I had the original mini with at most 800m range in CE regulations in the middle of nowhere. Pretty dissappointing. I lost it to the sea anyways.
If net neutrality is not relevant anyways, why are ISPs so dead set against it?
HE was refusing to provide internet connectivity to Kiwi Farms's host, that's a different thing than net neutrality. They're not interfering with traffic even though the EFF puts it that way, they're dropping a customer.

A "neutral" ISP can't refuse to get that host's packets if they transit through their network (including delivering the packets to the ISP's end users), but they can absolutely refuse to do business with anyone, including Kiwi Farms or Kiwi Farms's host or Kiwi Farms's host's host.
"let's say for the sake of argument" is doing a fair bit of work here. But the point is that we had text editors (similar to the ones we have today) back when CPUs were capable of maybe a few millions of instructions per second. CPUs can now do tens or hundreds of thousands as many instructions, but a text editor today uses several percent of that CPU.

That would be like shipping a square kilometer of forest to the job site to build one house.

The construction industry and modern cars could be more efficient, but their waste is measured in percent, not orders of magnitude.
I've always been most successful at work in places where I don't care about the result and I'm just enjoying myself.
Well, this isn't really going to help the case, but yes, behind logins there really are some, trust me. Tongue in cheek aside, where I used to see this a lot as a contractor was on projects where multiple companies were hired and each was responsible for some small part of the system that had to interface with the rest of it. The core problem is that you might not even know which parts of the UI need to update when your data changes, so what you advise is not always possible.
To be fair, 8gb hasn't been quite enough for most dev work since containers and VMs became a standard way for local builds and runs.

That's why I always found so strange that only those with fame/wealth distorted social representations ends up with a Wikipedia biography.
It’s known as promissory estoppel. The main reason promises are often not binding is that you can’t prove the other party said it. If you can prove the other party said it, and you “reasonably” relied on their statements, and suffered damages because their statements were false, you can recover those damages from them.

They still use mostly DJI drones by burning an older firmware and using an anonymizer to hide takeoff and pilot's position from a potential aeroscope. DJI's are pretty cheap and really good at what they are doing.
I'm not saying it's contradictory to say closed source is surveillance tech and open source is surveillance tech, but it's certainly unintuitive.

For my part, it feels like some tech is designed for specific use cases (eg pinboard, kagi). If you trust those developers they don't need to open source their work.

If you look at it from a systems perspective, ad tech benefits from scale and data, so when a product is built "for everyone" and monetized with ads.... Yeah it's going to be surveillance tech

OK but what I like about homebrew on mac is that when I'm having an issue with "popular stack X broke after updating" it's probably me and >10k other people out there, so by the time I hit the problem it's already under investigation on GH. I'm not sure the same would apply to homebrew on Linux - even if you ignore the differences between distros - how popular is homebrew on linux and linux desktop in comparison ?
The same way we did in the days of print media being the only media?

A network of trusted sources, reporters and newspapers that the public trusts. Eye witness accounts, a preponderance of evidence.

Basically it boils down to the reputation of the individuals involved in the chain of trust.

Personally I'm excited by the prospect that we might get mainstream investigative journalism back in some form.

To be honest, the problems an adaptive keyboard fixed back then - entering contacts, entering email addresses and passwords have long since been fixed by other solutions.
Bluetooth, vCards, contact sharing, QR codes, one-tap logins, password managers..

To say nothing of NOT displaying the keyboard at all. If you look at an old phone, you notice how tiny their screen is, because half of the front side is reserved for a sucky 12 key keyboard.

Obviously I think it does. Operating systems and the windowing environment should help you be efficient and get the maximum use out of your machine. Windows no longer does this; it has now primarily become a vehicle to resell Microsoft services and nag you ad nauseam. Even ChromeOS has less ads nowadays.
If you're going to a city that's fine -- there's choice for somewhere to stay

If you are somewhere more remote though there's a very limited choice, airbnb and similar have pushed the more professional options out, or forced them to sell via airbnb etc, in which case it's pot luck what you get.
What you're describing is a lat/lon position fix, but the link nickponline gave is for a plate solver (finding the RA/Dec of stars in an image, and determining the camera orientation). All other plate solvers I've looked at use three or four stars and measure the angles and distances relative to each other. Since nickponline's code appears to only use two, I'm intrigued as to what the angle is being measured relative to. It kinda looks like it requires the image to be oriented with North as up, which seems like an interesting twist. It seems a little like cheating, but honestly most people will know the orientation of their camera, and it probably speeds up the search considerably, and would reduce/eliminate the need for building index files.

"_A Copy of Products 2004-01-03 Final (Copy) Final.doc"
Yeah it's interesting... I really dislike titles of this form though and on principle usually refuse to read them, similarly to videos which have equally provocative titles.

I would prefer something like: "A discussion of whether innovation varies with age" or "Analyzing the data on innovation by age group." For me, these imply thougtful analysis. When I see "clickbaity" titles I assume the content isn't worth reading (and is low quality) since the author needs to use emotional trickery to drive clicks, and usually this assumption is correct.
I wonder what will be left when they have removed anything potentially dangerous or offensive. Maybe just advertisements. But advertisements for competitors products are also offensive.
I enjoyed your writeup.
Totally agree, I'm just saying it's unfortunately a standard across the industry, it's not just Booking. You're always allowed to set "show full price", which is then remembered after the first visit. It's the first thing I do whenever I compare prices across sites.

Overall I find Booking pretty neat, once you get past all the "449 people booked this room in the last 4 seconds" bs.

Having said that, Agoda has the lowest price most of the time, so I put with their bs even more willingly.
Woah, he spends 60 hours a week? That is some serious dedication. It is nice to know such passionate sites and individuals still exist on the internet today!

On the other hand the most popular way to play shogi online is an app called Shogi Wars, which has the most explicit pay-to-win mechanic I've ever seen: there's a button you can press to have an AI play out your next few moves for you, and you can pay money to buy additional chances to press the button.

Shogi doesn't have any other sites as modern and polished as Lichess or Chess.com (except for a Lichess port (lishogi.org) which has failed to gain traction), so I think there was a vacuum that allowed something like this to become popular. If people were still playing chess only on old clunky websites then maybe Zynga would break into the market with a hot new chess app that requires Facebook login.

The right-wing of Israeli politics draws strength from the conviction that Jewish people aren't safe anywhere in the world other than Israel. This course of action would only strengthen that conviction. Politically, if not exactly a win, it isn't an unambiguous loss either.
Wow, didn't notice it.
I hope this is coupled with an improvement in 4G and 5G coverage, then. I quite frequently find myself on 3G only in the UK.

What I don't get is why you can't buy a plan that supports roaming on every major network. I'd pay double for a plan where my phone connects to whatever 4G or 5G is available regardless of provider, but the free market doesn't seem to have figured out this idea.

Okay sure let’s take your “bad character” version: of course this is being done. Someone already linked to a commercially available version of it for shoplifters. Of course this type of technology was used to identify protestors in Hong Kong. It was probably also used to identify Jan 6’ers.

And in fact you yourself already hedged that this probably is happening, “ But I doubt many people are trying this, except as a way to justify a marketing budget.” Aka you believe that at least some people are already attempting this.

That doesn't take neither rotated nor truncated log files into account. The easiest way, and what most log shippers do, is following inodes.

It's also not as effective as streaming them to their intended target directly. Syslog can write a complementary local copy too should you wish to keep one.

Logs has been a thing since the past forty years. In order to reinvent it, it is good to be acquainted with the standard systems.

I always assumed that tech didn't work, and was designed to act as a deterrent, and/or to let businesses like insurers give claimants a hard time and thus boost their profit margins.
I've never understood why anybody cares about 5G, what do people do on their phones where bandwidth is a bottleneck? 4G is clearly fast enough for video streaming at resolutions and bitrates that matter for small screens. Online gaming tends to get bottlenecked on lately moreso than bandwidth and anybody who takes it seriously will be playing on consoles and PC. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume most filesharing happens on PC also. So what's the point?
So do computers, still the humans to blame
This has no more validity than "the internet is fundamentally a surveillance technology." It's a conflation of a tool's sometimes harmful usage with an inseparable aspect of its nature.

And the idea that AI "requires the surveillance business model" is demonstrably false. Thousands of researchers over the last 7 decades have contributed to the development of the collection of technologies we call AI without that business model.

However this is Meredith Whittaker so we can assume she knows that. So yeah, those are provocative statements made for rhetorical effect to emphasize that power will use technology to do bad things and enshrine and enhance its power.

what actually are you looking for? you want the author to challenge unregulated capitalism? to convince citizens that we’re right to reign it in, because we’re right to defend ourselves against the rapacious scammers in both the economic and political realms?

because if so, just re-read the last 4 paragraphs. pay attention to the groups he calls out, and if you’re still not satisfied then explore the possible meanings of this part in particular — which he bolded — and recognize that the “weak men” here most probably includes you and i and 95% of the author’s audience.

There are 2 'net neutrality' items in play and are conflated and team lines drawn up ages ago.

One is the double charging of services. Buy service XYZ on the internet then the ISP says 'hey you buy or special package or ABC is throttled'. That is the one most people think of when they hear net neutrality. Or 'we have not cut a deal with XYZ no data for you'.

Then there is the 'stop the cap' ones. Where 'hey here is a nice unlimited service except when you use more than X data then its not'. 'want more data pay for more on top of your "unlimited" plan'.

Then instead of passing laws to do it right they pretzelled the existing laws. Made some up and said yep thats good. Each "side" of the argument has had control of both houses and the presidential. Yet none of them got it done. Instead we are going to end up with more rubish and no real laws. Just made up interpretations that can change on a whim.

Yeah, Amazon is big enough that they could have a full stack group of employees always in the office and another one always remote. Almost like two companies. That's not the reality of most places though. Usually one has to pick.
For editing it does not matter if you just remove or move frames. Video is just a series frames and each of them are signed, each frame can be validated if the content is unmodified. If the same root key is used for another stream, then frames can be combined easily.

I don't know audio well enough how it happens there. But potentially it can be signed in chunks as well.

Of course, one needs to consider risks if editing can make content appear different than originally intended, when the video as "whole" is not signed.
But for that, different entity can be used again.

I read somewhere that electricity meters are switching to a scheme where they do low speed data transmission over the power cables and the data is collected at each substation. Gas uses plastic pipes now so I guess they are stuck with the phone network.
I'm by no means disrespectful of people who prefer to work in isolation. It's just not my preference.
Which is a specialty service offering set up and agreed upon by buyer and seller of the service using the dumb pipe.

So, opt-in versus required. Net neutrality certainly allows special pipes and protocols to be set up where desired, if you desire to stretch the analogy beyond its intent.
I wish someone did an analysis to determine why my intel-based macbook is so incredibly laggy all the time, even after fresh system installation. I can't shake the feeling that Apple Silicon is so much faster that performance issues just got into the system without anyone at Apple bothering to fix them, and Intel macs suffer as a result.

The point of the 11-star experience is not to actually target an impossibly perfect and amazing experience every time.

The idea is to acknowledge that 5 stars is what we tend to rate something that goes perfectly well without complaints, and as a product design exercise it fails to be a good target.

So Chesky's idea is to figure out what would make something so absurdly good that someone would rate it more than twice the usual "no complaints" rating - and then work backwards and figure out what is in between the 5 and 11 star experiences. You're never trying to reach 11 by design, but maybe you can target 7 or 9 as an aspirational goal, and thinking through this as a design exercise can help you identify user motivations more effectively.
Sorry but this is actually what I meant, it's all about convenience, AI is another convenience product.
It has nothing to do with them and I probably shouldn't have written it.
There is a technical reason for that, 5G in UK (and 99% of the world) is NSA, ie not stand alone, it acts as a supplementary band, anchored in LTE.
Your phone/router will only aggregate this 5G band under load (ie downloading, streaming hq etc), most of the time there is little load so 5G is not needed. It is also a power optimization issue, as 5G processing requires more battery.
