This is the most simple, straight-forward and workable solution.

Trying to teach elderly people involved usage of technology will be frustrating to them and everybody else. All they really need are social connections/emotional support and little bit of entertainment (source: living with and taking care of my Mother for the last decade of her life). Teach them simple things/phrases and have them use it on auto-pilot without too much thought. Automating the calling of people (Audio/Video) is the number one need/requirement. For further safety having a cctv-like setup so somebody can always check on them/interact with them remotely is also best.
I had a look at the Collison response and it read strongly like "mate puts in a good word when asked to" for me. An impression that was reinforced by the 'like' that Sam put on the answer.

Also, I wouldn't call it a myth. I would call it 'questions around his technical knowledge'.

The best way to answer those questions would be for direct evidence of his technical ability to be shown, not references from mates (just as any interview for a tech position requires direct evidence).
One thing your initial reasoning left out is that human concepts are not simple, either. Money may seem simple until you start to consider currencies, rounding, taxes, fees, etc. Text may seem simple until you consider punctuation, different alphabets, math symbols, emoji, and other special symbols, glyphs, or characters. Names may seem simple until you consider suffixes, names that consist of multiple words, middle names, cultures that place the family name first, nicknames, name changes, various accents and other "special" characters (that probably are perfectly normal to the person with the name), etc. As a programmer you often have to deal with other programmers' solutions to handle all this complexity, which may be flawed or simply different.

I mention all this not to pick holes in your logic but because it sounded like you were trying to look more closely at your intuition.

Yeah, seems most likely. In the past, they've explicitly taken down distributions of things like the SM64 PC port, but left the decompilation.

Companies don't have to C&D. If something poses very little financial danger, but taking it down presents significant risk of PR harm, it's not worth it. The C&D would cost more than it would save, so it makes no business sense.

Don't ask me why they even bothered taking down fan games, though. They seem to care a lot about art assets in particular.

"Gate-controlled suppression of light-driven proton transport through graphene electrodes" (2023) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-42617-4 :

> Abstract: Recent experiments demonstrated that proton transport through graphene electrodes can be accelerated by over an order of magnitude with low intensity illumination. Here we show that this photo-effect can be suppressed for a tuneable fraction of the infra-red spectrum by applying a voltage bias. Using photocurrent measurements and Raman spectroscopy, we show that such fraction can be selected by tuning the Fermi energy of electrons in graphene with a bias, a phenomenon controlled by Pauli blocking of photo-excited electrons. These findings demonstrate a dependence between graphene’s electronic and proton transport properties and provide fundamental insights into molecularly thin electrode-electrolyte interfaces and their interaction with light.

Your rudeness is entirely unnecessary and unworthy of this site. Not everyone knows the details of audio formats. That's OK.

OP – the reason they state this is that FLAC is lossless so offers limited compression but preserves input audio exactly. AAC is a lossy compression format and will discard input audio data that it thinks you don't need – converting it to other formats may produce artifacts. OGG is a container that supports both lossless and lossy internal formats, but I believe it's typically used with a lossy internal format (called Vorbis).

> It is no different in the sense that rape and assault (e.g. punching or kicking someone) are essentially similar physical acts

Correct and this is reflected by the fact that both are criminal acts. If the latter is particularly severe it might even carry a penalty even greater than rape. This example doesn't really do a good job making the case for why sex work harms participants or society as a whole, because unlike battery paying people who face starvation and homeless to do work is not only acceptable it's seen as totally normal. Save for people who have enough wealth live off for the rest of their lives, everyone is working to avoid homelessness and starvation.

They took the distributed game binary and ran it through a tool that produced an approximation of source code. At this point the decompiled code is clearly a mechanical transformation of the game binary, and so holds the same copyright status. This code is then cleaned up such that it compiles and functions and variables are given sensible names. This is, arguably, a creative endeavour, but it's also clearly a derivative work of the original binary and so is still controlled by copyright law.

The decompilation itself may or may not be a copyright violation - that's likely to vary depending on jurisdiction. If someone in a jurisdiction where it's legal were to write a description of the behaviour of the decompiled code and if someone else were to implement a codebase that happened to compile to the same original binary code then there's an argument that no infringement occurred (a functional description of the behaviour of a work is potentially not derivative of that work, and re-implementing the code based on that description is then not constrained by the original copyright), but that's not what happened here.

I don't like that this is the case, but let's take it to a logical conclusion - if I take an interpreted language with a bytecode compiler, I can typically decompile it to something almost 100% identical to the original code (I'd lose comments and maybe variable names, but that depends on the language). Does this mean I can take copyrighted Python code, run it through the interpreter, dump the state, decompile it, and have an independent work not subject to the original license?
Lots of things would help protect against this, but this regulation purports to prevent the browser vendor from implementing any stronger security mechanisms than those specified by the regulation.

"Enhancement of the performance of a proton battery" (2023)
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03787... :

> Abstract: The present paper reports on experiments to improve theoretical understanding of the basic processes underlying the operation of a ‘proton battery’ with activated carbon as a hydrogen storage electrode. Design changes to enhance energy storage capacity and power output have been identified and investigated experimentally. Key changes made were heating of the overall cell to 70 °C, and replacement of the oxygen-side gas diffusion layer with a much thinner titanium-fibre sheet. A very substantial increase in reversible hydrogen storage capacity to 2.23 wt%H (598 mAh g−1, 882 J g−1) was achieved. This capacity is nearly three times that of the earlier design, and more than double the highest electrochemical hydrogen storage using an acidic electrolyte previously reported. It is hypothesised that the main cause of the major gain in storage is an enhanced water formation reaction on the O-side through reduced flooding. In addition, an alternative mode of discharging a proton battery has been discovered that allows direct generation of hydrogen gas from the hydrogenated carbon material, by a ‘hydrogen-pump’ type of reaction. The hydrogen gas evolved is high purity, and thus may ultimately create opportunities for use of this storage technology in hydrogen supply chains for fuel cell vehicles. [And probably other applications as well]

(Edit)
A combined proton battery + graphene proton hydrolysis unit should probably keep the hydrolysis module as a separate part for replaceability?

Not GP, but I think I made it to about 20 pages into the third book before giving up. I actually enjoyed the first book, but it just got more ponderous as it went on. And this was around the same time I read the Foundation series by Asimov, so I didn't necessarily need at pot-boiler.
Bottom line is: if it's the wrong octave it's the wrong note.

Recommendation: add a 4th color for correct note, wrong octave.

Err on the side of just making it wrong.

Another recommendation: make an easy mode in a single octave for practice. Allow progression to more octaves once easy mode is mastered.

> By contrast, recent outbreaks of respiratory illnesses associated with consumption of mostly unregulated Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-containing vaping products have so far resulted in 2807 hospitalizations and 68 deaths in the United States, with additional cases being investigated in Canada (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2020, Government of Canada, 2020).
> The reason you can't right now is because it gets a little complicated if the user selects the right note but the wrong octave; they'll hear the correct pitch when they play the note, but should we record the wrong octave in the playback, or play the right octave (but potentially cause confusion, because it wasn't exactly the note the user selected?) The easiest thing to do seemed to select the octave for the user, but I'm open to feedback on how to make this less confusing with the maximum fun.

Is there a big downside to storing and displaying the octave along with the note? (Perhaps you could also give the player an easy way to change the octave of a note after inputting the note, to save them from having to backspace -> change octave -> input note again.)
And yet people have a ton of fun playing them
I really like the design and style of the OEM case you mention, I just didn't feel comfortable checking it as checked baggage. Needed something that could take a beating as cargo (I also bought the foam and shaped it for the dish and base). Thank you for the recommendation.

> all major browsers are developed by entities based in the US, that are therefore subject to National Security Letters

Those browsers are Open Source. (Well, Firefox is, and Chrome's core is even though Chrome isn't). If they tried to ship a MITM-enabling mechanism it'd be obvious.

> I mean sure, you have to accept the government of Greece's certificate because they're the legitimate authority

They're not the authority for arbitrary domains on the Internet, no. Only domains that have requested a certificate through that CA. This is what Certificate Transparency is for. If a Certificate Transparency log shows a CA (governmental or otherwise) issuing a certificate for somecompany.example, and the entity controlling somecompany.example didn't request that certificate, that CA has some explaining to do, and if the answer isn't "here's exactly what happened and how we'll make sure it can never happen again", the likely outcome is that browsers will stop trusting that CA.

The point of CT is that you can't silently issue MITM certificates without permanently burning an entire CA to do it.
