That should really be recorded in stereo and at least 20 samples for each key, possibly at different strength and then some sort of algo that would pick samples depending on how vigorously someone types.

The single best x86 computer I've ever used was a Dec Pentium 90...updated eventually to a Pentium II-300. Dec hardware was stupendous. Other systems were (obviously) faster and smaller and probably cooler and more power efficient, but their daughter card implimention of a CPU/RAM upgrade came from their obvious expertise in the Server/Scientific Workstation market with non x-86 architectures.

RF range is down to how good your antennas are and the local environment rather than hard limits.

That's kind of screwy, honestly. At least fingerprints can be worn off and erased.

That's possible. I thought most people with that mindset would be running adblockers, so probably wouldn't be interested in paying for an ad-free experience.

I'm sure there are people who aren't aware of adblockers or aren't savvy enough to use them, but how many?
There was a post on here where some one mentioned a lot of people just install bike racks to block the plate and said Amazon sells lots of plate hiding stuff. I'd definitely seen plastic covers that obviously made the plate very hard to read in the wild but I'd never really thought about using different kinds of luggage racks to obscure plates.

Of course, my state used a bunch of bad paint on license plates for a number of years so you could just peel off all the paint removing any contrast from a legit plate and you'd look no different than most people's unreadable plates anyway.

The thing is, I haven’t even lived in it yet. It’s increasing in value at a rate that doesn’t make sense for the community where it was built. I don’t think I’m getting rich or something, it’s just bizarre to me that a home can increase in value before it’s even built and continue to as it’s built. On paper I bought it for more than 10% less than identical neighbouring builds, but nothing has changed about the homes.

I would say they're not doing it so much for the new residents, but the current residents.

It truly is about the character of your town.

If your current residents wants to hire a teacher, firefighter, restaurant worker, etc that person may need to move in from out of town. So you can decide how / where people live through zoning.

You also decide how easy/hard it is for people to live in your town, and thus how much goods and services costs.

It's entirely in your hand...

I just think most people focus on one aspect (buildings near them) and don't think about other tradeoffs (all the consequences of how/where people your town 'hires' could live as the economy grows). It's complicated and the whole point is you get to work with your zoning board to make those decisions informed by the data and needs of the town.

You can, unless you have only one arm.
Same here. It's overly expensive, and if even 1 innocent dies to satisfy a society's barbarity that proves that it's cruel and unusual punishment and a completely flawed premise. While there are cases where the felon is caught on camera doing it with no doubt possible, however most are convicted under "reasonable doubt" as a guideline, thus there is leeway in the vast majority of cases that something was missed, and we should leave the possibility that an incorrect conviction was given. Maybe we could add a new level of "absolute certainty" where the perp was caught on camera, seen by 10 eyewitnesses with zero doubt, etc, in order to satisfy the most bloodthirsty of society for execution.
People often have an unrealistic notion of what solar can do. A single 50kW charger would require 125 400w panels minimum - around 3000 square feet of area - and still only be able to provide max current for a few hours of the day. And 50kW is still slower than most people will tolerate if they’re not at home/work.

You're right, I have no idea. But there are also far more cost effective ways to check the time than a rolex. That was the point I was trying to get across - the rolex won't become obsolete because it's not there to be a watch, it's there to make a statement as a rolex.

The sensors on an Apple Watch are fine for tracking breath while you're absolutely still. That's how devices like https://nightware.com/ can work.

What's a device like the Apple Watch can't do is track breath on someone who is standing up and moving around.

Exactly. It's important to be accurate.

> $17k should be in the affordable range if you make $100k.

Maybe if there were no taxes or utilities, food, housing, etc.

$50-60k in taxes (my take home is about 40% of my salary). $2k/month in rent/mortgage, so about $25k/year. $1k in utilities and food ($12k). So, we are up to $96k and haven't even touched on car payments, clothing, entertainment, etc.
Cost is generally a more holistic concept than price. If you use money (or any resource) to do X, then you can't use it to do Y. So if your money supply is limited, every purchase is more costly to you because of what you must forego to make it. For the same reason, a 10k raise when you make 1M is not worth nearly as much as a 10k raise when you make 30k. It's the same 10k dollars, but has very different worth depending on who's dollars they are.
> Is that even a technology?

Nope. It's a device. Presumably much of the technology in the now 'obsolete' Apple Watch is still in use in more recent models.
If someone can’t afford $10/mo, they will sub to the competitor for $1. Just like you won’t be able to afford the $100/mo sub that your rich neighbours would go for.

The important thing it that the market works—it’s only when there is a VC-funded double-sided market subversion that offers service completely for free that it stops, as no one can seriously compete with free.

REITs don't pay capital gains the way you and I would if we bought a house together.
As I wondered in some other place: do you consider a promise made in a newsletter or an all-hands meeting a binding contract? Would a court consider it binding, or rather an information about the current course of the company? And changing that policy in the subsequent newsletter or all-hands, wouldn't nullify anyway whatever binding value the previous one had? (I'm not talking about employment contract changes, yes those are binding)

Using DNA as glue to hold nanostructures together
First, I want to be clear that I'm not saying you are wrong. I don't know. I personally doubt the fees enter most people's speculations, though.

Specifically, my intuition is that most people don't speculate in housing because they don't have the capital to do so. More, most of the people I have known that had the capital to do so, did, in fact, speculate in real estate. Similarly, most people I know that have purchased homes could only do so on highly leveraged loans. Again, they didn't have the capital to do speculation. They still stretched for as large of a loan as they could, at large. Which is its own form of speculation.

I'd be curious to know how much the fee for day trading can be. I know it isn't directly comparable, due to volume differences, but I'm assuming you weren't thinking real estate would get to day trader levels of speculation?

Fast chargers pull huge amounts of electricity requiring significant electrical connections and infrastructure that's pretty expensive to build up.

You're taking a worst case. Also, you are calling something out without providing what -you- would do in the situation? Maybe we could let them choose death if a lifetime sentence is the decision. What you're implying is just letting criminals out as the only alternative and that's never going to fly. If you're going to criticize something, it's good to propose your solution.
> They could be keeping logs of unique identifiers to sell to location data brokers.

Not to say no one did that, but it seems pretty stupid to integrate that into the pump itself (as well as extra trouble).

Seems like if someone wanted to do that, it would be far easier to those companies to just ship a Raspberry Pi-sized device and bolt it to the side/top of the pump, or put it up in the canopy with the lights.
Doubtful. Facebook's mission is to maximize profits, not to maximize ads served. If they thought they could generate more profits by lowering priced subscriptions or even getting rid of the free, ad-supported tier, they would absolutely go for it. The inconvenient truth is that the only way to get a lot of users to pay for Facebook is through ads, because they won't pay for a subscription, no matter the price point. If the free tier disappeared, there would be a mass exodus of users from Facebook to a free, ad-supported, competitor.
That's a wonderful sum up. The pettiness often drive you insane, when you read the comments from reviewer 2

If you can afford or be stupid enough to pay 17000 for a tech gold watch you wouldn’t care if it went obsolete
In college (for a time) I was a double major in CS and Physics. I found a job as a programmer at a Physics lab, which fit my interests very well. The previous person roughly showed me the ropes for just a few days before she left to go to grad school.

The PI started asking me to run some analyses on a raw dataset. Since I was so new at it, I often messed up and had to rerun the whole thing after looking at the output; this was painful because the entire script took a few hours to run.

I started poking around to see whether it could be optimized at all. the raw data was divided up into hundreds files from different runs, sensors, etc..., that were each processed independently in sequence, and the results were all combined together into a big array for the final result. Seems reasonable enough.

Except this code was all written by scientists, and the combination was done in the "naive" way - after each of data files was processed, a new array was created and the previous results were copied into the new array, as were the results from the current data file. This meant that for the iterations at the end, we roughly needed to have Memory = 2 * Size of final data, which eventually exceeded the amount of physical memory on the machine (and because there were so many data files, it was doing this allocation and copying dozens of times after it used all the RAM).

I updated this to pre-allocate the required size at the beginning for a very very easy 3-4 fold improvement in the overall runtime and felt rather proud of myself.
> $17k should be in the affordable range if you make $100k.

At $100k, $17k after tax is maybe 30% of your income (and I don't mean disposable) for a year.

I think you would be hard pressed to find financially stable people in this income bracket who would consider this deal "affordable".

An absence of device on the wrist is also never obsolete. Or a polished stone on a bracelet.

So it's a question of what utility or value you derive from it.

Personally if I didn't have a smart watch that tracked activity, showed me the weather forecast, let me glance at a notification without taking my phone out of my pocket etc. I would have no watch. That's what I had before my first Apple Watch.

If you find value and enjoyment from your mechanical watches, then that is the point, and they don't need to do anything else to justify it.
