I really like my pair yet only for taking pics and videos as that's the most reliable feature followed by Bluetooth audio for music and audio in general.

Using it to take calls and voice chat isn't that reliable and Hey Meta is very unreliable.

This version feels like smart glasses beta 1 but I do highly recommend then from my two weeks of frequent usage (bought them day they just came out) for taking pics n short videos!!

Overall good job Meta/Zuckerbrrg ..excited for the next version where all features work reliably and a few more smart features are added /work well like binoculars mode :)

To answer your question and based on my usage I don't think they could run any developer apps or programs and or reliably so. So I say closed for outside development until the next and fourth version.
I have to see anyone take things seriously enough to sign their messages. We could easily assert a public key then send a chirp at the end that signs the transmission we just made, with our corresponding private key, for folks to verify.

I don't see any real push for a public service like ham to allow outright encryption. Channels feel like they should be for public use. We can get many guarantees, if we need them, without obfuscating the messages.
That's my understanding as well.

But I'd also bet a dollar that someone fails to understand the difference and gets their undies in a massive twist about it.
Baud rate and symbol rate often refer to the same thing, especially in the context of digital communications. However, they don't necessarily equate to the bit rate. In the digital realm, we're familiar with the concept of 1's and 0's, which represent binary states. When we transmit a single bit, it can be visualized as a digital line being high (for 1) or low (for 0). The rate at which this line transitions from one state to another is called the baud rate or symbol rate.

To understand this further, let's consider a more advanced modulation scheme. Instead of just having two states (high and low) to represent binary bits, imagine we have four distinct states: high, medium-high, medium-low, and low. These states can represent combinations of bits as follows: high = 11, medium-high = 10, medium-low = 01, and low = 00.

In this scenario, each state transition represents a symbol, and since each symbol can represent two bits, the symbol rate (or baud rate) is half of the bit rate. If you know the symbol rate and want to determine the bit rate, you'd multiply the symbol rate by the number of bits per symbol. In this example, you'd multiply the baud rate by two.

Most signals rely on techniques beyond simple voltage differences though to transfer information, and that's when you delve into the world of RF theory. Instead of a discrete voltage, a sine wave is used at a particular frequency. The amplitude of the sine wave can be adjusted just like we adjusted the voltage on that line. If we want even more symbols, maybe 0000 to 1111 or bigger, we can introduce another variation to the sine wave called phase. Phase of a sine wave is just shifting it left or right, but could be visualized as two people on a race track. If they start a race from the same line and run at the same speed in the same direction, they're in phase. If one of them starts a quarter of the way ahead from the other and they both run at the same speed in the same direction, then he's a quarter phase shifted from the other.

That adjustment of phase and amplitude falls into a broad category of RF modulation called QAM, and it's used in more than RF between two radios. It can also be used over Ethernet or PCIe busses.

I could go on rambling for a long time on all this, but hopefully this helps answer your question.

If not raising an alert is "allowing hearing damage" then they already do plenty of that, as does everyone else. It's not a reason to do a poor job. Maybe an excuse, but not a reason.
This is naïve. DocuSign's main sell from a commercial perspective is it separates the parties into the signer, the signee and the authority. If the authority is the signee or the signer then it could be considered unfair. And really no one wants to end up having to hire lawyers to unfuck that mess.

Not only that DocuSign does ID verification if you pay them which is required for a bunch of contract types. This does definitely not!
One thing OP seems to gloss over is that there is a strong correlation between places where people want to live in, property prices, and rent prices.

In other words, the places where people pay 1k for renting a room are not usually the ones where a 7 bedroom house sells for cheap.

The ARRL has been pushing this for a while:

It’s kind of unfortunate this type of decision requires Congress.
I think money is largely the issue. I lived in several different 5-7 bedroom communal houses in SF with a bunch of founders/engineers and if everyone (or even half the people) have high paying jobs then it's a very different experience. The group can easily absorb months of another resident's rent if they have volatile income which greatly reduces the pressure on relationships.

It only costs a few hundred bucks a week to have cleaners come over and take care of the house so most chores are a none issue. Dishes and trash were the only rotating chores IIRC since those couldn't be put off between weekly cleanings. There was a fridge for personal food and a separate communal fridge with a group food budget so all staples were always taken care of. Internet, insurance, water, power, were all split equally. There were no problems concerning the money even though some people were messier, some ate at home more, some worked from home entirely, etc. etc.

That's a far flung situation from the one described in TFA though. We lived together to build a community as adults, not for survival. That changes the dynamics.

It depends on jurisdiction you are located in and the level of legal safety and acceptance you need. Our solution is already able to digitally sign the document which kind of makes it tamper proof and electronically sign(draw annotations) which will have you covered in most regions. Some regions have specific laws for example India has IT Act 2000, UETA & ESIGN Act while Europe has eIDAS.

> I cannot imagine, but the miners probably couldn't run that many rigs given the perhaps 50A or 100A total available to each unit.

60A @ 240v is a common residential load center size, 14.4kW is max load it’s a main lug only panel fed by a disconnect fused at 60A, and 11.5kW if the panel has a 60A main circuit breaker. Upping that to 100A yields 24kW and 19.2kW, respectively.

I’m not sure what a miner uses for energy, but assuming 500w, you could get 13 on a 60A panel without any other loads present.
Oh that’s a great clarification, thanks!

Rethinking Control Flow
Over the years I've done a fair amount of reworking documents from "he or she" style to "they" style.

I've found that using "they" style does quite often make it harder to be clear, when you've got a sentence that's talking about both a person and some things.

Something like

"Then the operator must update all the rules. They must ensure that no bad things happen."

Does the "they" refer to the operator or the rules?

Of course you can always rephrase to make it clear again, but you're losing a certain amount of freedom of arrangement that you might have wanted to use for other purposes.
If you’re on iOS and/or MacOS, Voxel Max is a great Metal-native alternative, actively developed and with a helpful Discord community. Also has path-traced rendering. No official affiliation (although I was at one time quite active in the community).

MagicaVoxel is great - arguably the standard - but Apple Silicon support was lacking last I checked, and there’s no iOS / iPadOS version. Noodling with the Pencil on a 10” iPad screen on the couch can’t be beat, imo. Much more accessible for the kids as well.
It's still stored in NVRAM, which the OS (or EFI firmware) has to consciously parse and then give to whatever process manages network connections. Nothing is stored in the wireless chip itself - those are generally stateless.

Another story where being friends with a higherup is what got them the job:

>That’s when I began to rethink my choice of becoming an auditor and progressing my career. Shortly after, I was auditing Microsoft and the CFO at the time, who I already knew and had a good relationship with, thought I wasn’t looking like myself. I explained that things weren’t going as well as I had hoped and that I was considering leaving Deloitte. She told me then that Microsoft had a vacancy available that I could apply for, and I ended up being chosen for the job.

Depends where you are but contracts and other legal documents are only ultimately enforceable in court usually. Electronic signatures tend to shorten that process somewhat as they provide signatory verification, contract integrity and ID verification so it's seen as a legal risk and cost mitigation rather than an actual hard contractual requirement.
We also generate a completion certificate that has the time & ip addresses of everyone who accessed and modified a doc during the entire signing process, plus we are open source which means more transparent. We plan to publish a lot of content in that space but with limited resources currently we plan to build the product features first. Also, we are soon going to start our fund raise efforts which will ultimately speed up things.

Americans dont typically commute on bikes not because they dont want to but because the size of our country and history has made it impractical or nearly impossible. Im not even sure i could find a legally bikable path to my job tbh. Too many highways in the way that need to be crossed or used. There is in fact, nuance. Its not as simple as Americans are fat and lazy.

On verification bullshit and error messages:

German neo-banks pretty much all use IDNow for verification, which is your standard human-operated "hold your ID into the camera and wave it around" service.

When attempting to use it with a rooted Android device or jailbroken iOS device, it fails with mysterious errors.

Support pages and human operators are completely blank on this ("have you restarted your phone and reinstalled the app?").

Nowhere (I found) is it documented that you can't use a freed device with IDNow's SDK. So every time I tried another device, of course I'd use another jailbroken one and it would fail again.

Only Nuri's app was so kind to even tell me that the error was due to something in the IDNow SDK and helped me finally find out what the cause of the problem may be.

Error messages matter, y'all. A regular customer would probably just perceive IDNow to be an unreliable piece of shit service and the banks to be too incompetent to get their core customer acquisition flow right.

> 3. Restrict foreign ownership of huge swathes of the country. This could be as simple as "new construction only".

This will make the problem worse as the Portuguese will complain that the foreigners own the beautiful modern buildings.

Additionally it‘s important to keep in mind that this is not feasible for EU countries with the four freedoms. It would be like Florida banning ownership of existing houses for Californians.

(1) would totally kill the Portuguese tourism industry.

(2) is reasonable and they are already doing it - but not sufficiently.

I have a better idea: Tax the nomads with a rate that matches typical tax rates (around 30-40% and waive the crippling social security if health insurance is covered from abroad, not the excessive Portuguese taxes of 53% + 35% social security for a total of 88% on a salary of > 80.000. Nomads are fully exempted because nobody would be willing to pay that much). It would bring more than enough money into the country for house construction.

This is hard to read. I don't think the core narrative is implausible, but it's pretty hard to imagine someone this self-aggrandizing being a sufficiently critical adversary of his own theory, and he doesn't seem to have convinced anyone else of his claims.
> My daughter sprained her ankle on a playground in the United States, and we had to wait for three hours at the hospital for an X-ray, just to receive a bill for 1300$, and that’s after insurance. In Portugal, the public health system covers this expense. It’s not excellent, but it’s praiseworthy when compared to other countries.

I really wish the USA would switch to this sort of model. That sort of health security would engender a wave of innovation and efficiency.

my title, which I got from a mastodon post, is editorialized, but not sensationalized. it puts together two very critical components of what McDonalds is doing, which otherwise are both widely publicized but not directly connected. McDonalds is making it possible for people to get free food, at least one day of the week, for the rest of the year, by downloading an app and clicking a checkbox. And the purpose of clicking that checkbox is very prominently about waiving one's right to sue in court. if you go to McDonald's site right now without any pre-existing cookies at https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/deals.html , you get this banner:

> Our Terms and Conditions have changed. Please take a moment to review the new McDonald’s Terms and Conditions by clicking on the link. These include a binding arbitration provision and waiver of your right to a trial in court, including your right to a jury trial, as well as updates to the arbitration and dispute resolution process. By continuing to use our website, you are indicating that you have reviewed and agree to these Terms and Conditions including the binding arbitration provision. You are also indicating that you understand that you are agreeing to a legally binding contract and intend to do so.

They are very prominently noting the "right to trial in court" being waived; they refer to it three times in a five-sentence paragraph. This is on a fast food website where people are buying burgers and fries, is someone's "right to a jury trial" usually a thing in someone's mind when they go to a fast food chain to download an app and get fun prizes and stuff? It seems to be for McDonalds itself. Then they try to claim that clicking this banner is a legally binding contract, even though it has no idea what my name or address is; which is ludicrous for a website. But for the app, and by the time you're getting your free food, it's likely a little more well thought out.

It seems extremely obvious that McDonalds is trying to get as many of their customers as possible to click this button and reduce the number of people with the right to sue them in court. The "free french fries" thing is unusually generous, which means clicking this button is worth a lot of money for them.

None of this seems "sensationalist" to me. It seems perfectly clear and obvious once the two pieces are put together. Hence I put these pieces together in my headline and a lot of other people have gotten it now too.

I wouldn't say this is a Google only problem. Really, all of these problems of redundancy and recovery have been best considered by militaries well before private companies started to have sufficiently global operations and communications networks that they started thinking about it, too. In the Army Recon Course, they taught us to bounce signals off the ionosphere using hand-held radios if we needed to communicate with an otherwise cut-off remote unit too far past the earth's curvature horizon to get line of sight. And, of course, every unit is drilled in contingency plans to the point that it can operate independently as necessary even when all communication gets cut off and continue to push the overall mission forward even in the absence of further coordination, which, for what it's worth, obviously does present the potential for problems of its own when the mission changes and a disconnected unit doesn't know it, as well explored in Doctor Strangelove.

I think there is more to it than that— AC lets you move current over longer wires without voltage drop or having to use really thick wire. This is why Tesla triumphed over Edison. Honestly, there are a ton of applications that could benefit from low voltage AC that don’t leverage it because DC is king in on the test bench and that inertia creates the need for klunky workarounds to overcome its deficiencies in large, long series circuits.
