What are the positive aspects? I don't see any, this looks terrible to me, a waste of money for both investors and consumers

I'm limiting my points to the physical usage concerns, there are more concerns if we broaden the context, many other commenters have pointed them out. This is not even the full list of physical concerns. What people wear will have a big impact too
It seems like social medias, from a financial perspective, are more commonly bad than good. Out of all the mainstream social medias I know, these ones seem to be losing money (or at least aren't generating "enough" profit):

- Twitter: halved in value in 1 year

- Tumblr

- Reddit: stated it wasn't doing well when it increased the API price

- YouTube: seems to not be doing well because it's trying to push adds and increasing YouTube premium

- Threads: I doubt this is generating profit, because I see multiple posts about how this "failed" and this is the first threads post I've seen posted somewhere else. Maybe I'm wrong though

- Mastodon & rest of the Fediverse: not very mainstream, but funding seems to be a common issue among communities, and this is with the relatively small userbase

- Stack Overflow and Quora: they've both done layoffs recently, and I've heard they're also faring poorly, but I don't have much information

- Bluesky, the audio-only one I forgot it's name: these certainly aren't making money

The ones which are doing well:

- Facebook: seemingly generating a lot of revenue because of ads and data collection

- Instagram: same as Facebook

- TikTok: probably because China pays well do to all of the information they get

- Discord: I haven't heard anything about them losing money, and they don't really push ads. Maybe because a lot of people pay for Discord nitro, or people pay for the servers?

- Slack & Teams: I also haven't heard anything, but I doubt they are losing money because companies pay for these

- Tinder: not really a social media but they're probably making money from people who pay a lot for premium

- Hacker News: Because it's cheap to run being text-only and brings publicity to YCombinator and their companies, I'm sure this is considered a financially good investment. But even then, it doesn't generate any revenue on its own

And ones I don't know:

- Twitch: seemed to have issues with money but idk, they have a lot of deals and sponsorships

- LinkedIn

Of course starting a small social media is always a bad investment, because it's very hard to get popular. But it looks like even the popular social medias are burning through cash reserves.
Disordered eating presented as a “hack”
As far as I'm aware, every System76 laptop is a rebadged OEM laptop with an opinionated set of expansion components that they've effectively certified as functional in Pop!_OS by ensuring good driver and DWM compatibility. I think the OEM is Sager, but I'm not confident on that, or if that's uniform. Anywho, because of this, it should be reasonably possible to source replacement components upstream.

I would not recommend that script. On the default settings it messes with quite a few group policies which for example ends up preventing Visual Studio from installing dependencies. (i.e. InstallDefault, which prevents webview2 from being installed)

I saw this too, and there really isn't enough information to know if the robot is actually AI. There are a lot of kinds of sensors, like just basic sensors for grip, that allow for small tightness adjustments. Even if the sensor was visual in nature, it is unlikely to be advanced AI - most likely a simpler form such as OpenCV to detect the location of a box, for example.

To say mistaken for a box of peppers, is... an unlikely production robot. Expect that in a few years though.
Whatever fraction it is at Google, I'm willing to bet Cisco's is significantly larger, especially on "core-business" teams whose work is mentioned in analyst calls
I forgot buying fentanyl from China.

"Lihe Pharmaceutical Technology Company, based in Wuhan, Hebei Province, China, was charged with fentanyl trafficking conspiracy and international money laundering, along with Chinese nationals Mingming Wang, 34, who is the alleged holder for three bitcoin accounts shared by sales agents for Lihe Pharmaceutical, and Xinqiang Lu, 40, the alleged recipient of funds via Western Union on the company’s behalf.

Why is OneDrive a closable thing? Shouldn't it just run behind the scenes (assuming the user has opted-in)? iCloud mostly works like this - once you sign in and tell the system to sync files, it just works. There's no visible app to start or stop.
That’s extremely interesting. So there is a considerable manufacturing process waste factor that reduces yield.

I had been thinking that viability of yield could be an issue too as it would have the same wafer fabrication yield, wafer sort yield, and packaging yield that silicon does. And as a new and profoundly expensive material there is going to be an appreciable learning curve.

Is that what you’re referring to? Or is there more to it even than that?

> the car also has a mechanism for transmitting some data

As far as I can tell, the car itself doesn't have a mechanism for transmitting data. It just stores the data.

Transmitting only happens if/when someone gets some Berla "vehicle forensics" hardware and physically connects it to the car. The Berla equipment would do the transmitting.

From the complaint linked to by The Register[1]:

> 26. Third party Berla Corporation (“Berla”), based in Annapolis, Maryland, manufactures equipment (hardware and software) capable of extracting stored text messages from infotainment systems in Honda vehicles.

> 27. Berla also manufactures equipment capable of extracting stored call logs from infotainment systems in Honda vehicles.

> 28. Honda infotainment systems thereby transmit stored text messages and call logs to Berla.

And from Berla's web site[2]:

> An acquisition may require systems to be removed from a vehicle and disassembled or be performed in place in a vehicle. In either case, acquisition hardware must be attached to the vehicle or system to acquire data.

Not really, as far as I know claims reserves have to be kept highly liquid (Treasuries or High Grade Corporate Bonds maybe?, especially for a health insurer which pay out almost all the premiums it collects every year.

If people can speak more naturally, maybe they'll be okay with it. I am constantly encountering people who are laughing or talking to themselves out in public nowadays. Of course, they're probably on phone calls with Airpods in, but it doesn't seem to be awkward in a way it used to in the 'Bluetooth headset' days.
Unless your job is just to get coffee for someone at minimum wage.

You can’t guarantee what someone’s job is day to day, and what they get to learn, at scale. Also the pay is terrible at most of these jobs, and significantly raises the cost to enter the field.
Practice is important, but mostly for speed. If you could pay me minimum wage or a master normal prices to do electric work, you are money ahead paying the master even though the quality of work is the same in the end. I've done enough electric to know how to do pretty much anything, but it will take me much longer as I don't know all the shortcuts, I'll spend more time going to find the right tools (which would be in the belt of the master). I won't think that an outlet also needs a.cover and so be back to the store several times.

In the end either way the job is done right, but I know how much slower I am. I could get faster with experience, but it isn't worth my time.
lets say you already dont like a person you know nothing about them you just don't like them for whatever reason.

As a father (29) whose daughter (5) told him that she didn't like his gray hair because it means he is gonna die soon, can confirm.
I am very confused as to why the robot was operating with such power. According to the article, the robots pick up boxes of peppers and place them on a conveyor belt. How does that translate to such force so as to pick up an adult man, place him on the conveyor belt, and then crush his face and chest?

There are clearly multiple safety protocols that were broken here, starting with something as simple as a lockout/tagout procedure and ending with robotic control system failures that should have recognized it was needing to apply much more force than expected to pick and place a box of peppers and also that the thing it was handling was not a box.
"This feature allows disks to be added one at a time to a RAID-Z group, expanding its capacity incrementally. This feature is especially useful for small pools (typically with only one RAID-Z group), where there isn't sufficient hardware to add capacity by adding a whole new RAID-Z group (typically doubling the number of disks)."

> if you complete law school, but fail the bar, at least you still have a post-graduate degree (that's generally viewed favorably in general).

For folks who don't know, lawyers really like JDs, to the point that if you want to be a recruiter for lawyers, you probably need a JD. If you want to be a career counselor at a law school, you probably need a JD.

They can be this choosy because there's enough people with a JD who don't want to be a lawyer or can't hack it as one.
5% commission (or even 4%) of a multi-million dollar sale is still a ton of money for the work/expertise/risk I’ve seen Bay Area realtors put in anyway. I’ve never seen anything less than 4%, and the realtors were very cranky.

Rural area realtors can be pieces of work too, but at least they aren’t claiming to be worth as much money. ;)
Don't forget YouTube. Video thumbnails seem to be converging on a few clickbaity templates - probably to appease "the algorithm". Not even LockPickingLawyer is safe.
Why do I think these features are not nefarious?

* There's an obvious, legitimate want for the vehicle's head unit to ingest this data, in order to display a UI (or provide a voice UI) which allows the user to call a contact by name or read a recently received text message. Is this a poor implementation concept which has mostly been supplanted by better implementations (Android Auto / CarPlay), sure, absolutely but it's not some thing that was added for the express purpose of "stealing" information. It's a long-standing set of features which use obvious, standardized Bluetooth technologies to fill an obvious, straightforward user need. Nothing weird there.

* There's no sign whatsoever that there was any collusion with law enforcement in the construction of these systems. They're just badly implemented, vulnerable software which is exploited by a forensics vendor (just like literally every other piece of hardware and software under the sun).
I get the pop up constantly. But you can just close it and watch the video.
I would happily pay for youtube without ads if I was confident that they wouldn't start putting ads in it anyways like always seems to happen with these services.
I think device specific self hosted AI is coming. At least that's what I see from marketing stuff the chip companies send me. I think it could make some sense from the a cost perspective. The manufacturer of an appliance likely doesn't want to pay reoccurring fees for smart features which require uploading audio and video to the cloud.
I've worked as an employee and as a contractor in Silicon Valley (never at Google). While it was nice to be treated like an employee by some companies, my attitude was that it's just understood that as a contractor I'm not as much a member of the team as the employees are, and I'm the first to be let go if the money gets tight. Those were the tradeoffs of the flexibility I got. If contractors are the same as employees, why even have a distinction?
Not really. A staffing co like randstadt won’t give you perf reviews etc. You just work through them for tax reason. You hardly even interact with your account manager.

>They're also basically killing any locals going with the cost of concessions

Local residents are absolutely not the target audience for Vegas casinos and other attractions.

Vegas casinos offers super-cheap food and drink to lure gamblers. Locals take advantage of said low prices, but that's a side effect of the main purpose which is to keep tourists near the card tables and slot machines. The Sphere does not have gambling, thus needs the food and drink to pay their own way.

I understand. Compared to a common movement like a squat, the average joe rarely performs a hip hinge. If they do, it's likely with poor form. I've personally trained beginners. Most know how to squat but struggle with the hip hinge. The hip hinge needs more attention to learn than, say, the chest press.

There are risks for injury throughout the entire fitness spectrum- from being sedentary to powerlifting. Not exercising has its own set of risks. On the other end, your risks increase when you lift too much weight, move too quickly, push through fatigue, or disregard technique. That goes for any exercise. You can reduce risks by learning from an experienced weightlifter and/or hiring a personal trainer.

I've never heard advice for the average person to avoid deadlifts. The therapy and fitness industry advises the opposite- they should learn how to perform hip hinges. The stimulus placed by deadlifts, RDLs, or any front-loaded hip hinge is unique. Weight distributed anteriorly to the body puts a load on the spine. This exposes weaknesses in spinal stability, but it's also a great solution to improve it. The challenge is figuring out the readiness of the person prior to and during a program. Do they have adequate hip and shoulder mobility to maintain a neutral spine throughout the hinge? Can they maintain this spinal stability when progressing to heavier loads or higher volumes?

I agree there are higher risks of injury for deadlifts compared to squats or lunges. However, I would not remove them entirely from a training program because of their unique stimuli.
Your sarcasm is too subtle for some people here. I hope.

> High level, the world should take care of the people already here

There is no "world". There are 200-some nation-states. Each sovereign, laws unto themselves.

I agree that each of these should take care of their own. In my nation-state, 11 children per minute aren't dying. I have no say in how other nation-states do it, and no advice they would listen to. I'll stay out of their business.

Will their lots improve, do you think, when modern civilization starts to collapse, because the only people who know how to run the pharmaceutical plants are geriatric? When they lose their minds due to senility, when they die?

You're worried about the wrong things, letting your feelings guide you instead of your reason.

I'm worthy. My wife's worthy. My children are worthy. Don't speak for me. I'm not a part of your "we". I don't feel guilt for actions not my own, for things that happened before I was born, for circumstances outside of my control. I don't know why you could feel guilt like that. Is it some sort of posturing? A young man might do it if he thought young woman were attracted to that. Are you young? Are women your age attracted to it?

If they are, do any of them seem like good prospects for marriage?
The case isn't so tight the batteries can't move. LiPoly batteries expand and contract when they heat and cool. The case needs enough space for that to happen without putting pressure on the battery.

When the battery is at its most contracted state it can move if it's not fixed to the case by some means. Movement of the battery puts stress on the connectors and can lead to a short (or worse).

Gluing the battery in the case is a safe way of fixing it in place inside the case. Screw tabs would give the opportunity during assembly of puncturing the battery casing with a tool or screw. They could also work themselves loose with the thermal expansion cycles.

But people like the thought-terminating "Apple bad" narratives.
Goblins 5
This is a sequel to the old classic Goblins series! 1-3 are considered part of the Golden Era of point and clicks, and compared well with Lucas and Sierra titles.

I hadn't seen coverage on 5 on Steam. It's all made by a solo dev in France who just kept making the series he started in the 90s. It gave me many laughs back then!

Breaking users' models of how a system works seems to be the playbook almost every software product these days. I hate it.

Software developers / designers do not respect or value users' muscle memory they spent half a lifetime developing at all. Even in products which ostensibly do want their users to develop expertise without being advertisement driven, such as Excel, Powerpoint or Word. Imagine if cars worked the same way: Every time you bought a new car, the steering wheel, pedals and so on are shuffled around because "users learn to drive 0.01% faster according to a AB-tests" or whatever. Fuck everyone who already got their license I guess.

> it's a bad comparison and I don't understand why

Different languages are different, and so it's tough to compare. You don't generally write Rust code in the same way you write C, and so a "using the same design" constraint on a comparison means that some folks will not consider it to be an accurate one.

In general, similar constructs have the same amount of overhead, that is, zero. Rust has additional features that are useful that can increase code size if you're not careful, but getting that back down doesn't necessarily mean abandoning Rust, but it may lead to "write the Rust closer to C." I am thinking of generics specifically here, monomorphization can blow up your code size, but you could either not use generics or use a few techniques to minimize it.
