Very helpful answer, thanks for posting.
Were you then able to prosecute him for this fraudulent conspiracy he manufactured? Is there any check and balance, like something seriously discouraging people from doing this nefariously?

Is there any responsibility on the judge or jury to demand burden of evidence? As in the postmaster situation, if I were the judge or jury I first and foremost need to be convinced a crime occurred and money is missing. The fact a forensic accountant wasn’t required is still odd to me. I suppose they were glad to call guilty on circumstantial evidence or just took the financial statements at face value

About water consumption: depending on your make of water meter, there's often a small reflective wheel that turns eg. once for every liter. Sometimes these are made out of metal or even slightly magnetic. An arduino with an optical or Hall effect sensor might get you real far in real time, high resolution data collection!

Alternatively I've had success in wiring up a temperature probe directly to the incoming water line, and comparing that temperature to the ambient temperature. Where I live that works because the water arrives from underground & is always much cooler than ambient air. The time-integrated difference between the two is a proxy for how much water you use... this is much more involved to get meaningful data from, tho.

---

Edit: a proximity sensor that detects metal might be the most straightforward thing, if you have a water meter with a rotating metal gauge https://www.alldatasheet.com/view.jsp?Searchword=LJ12A3-4-Z/...
Can you say more about this, in particular, what happened next?

Because it's not really over until there's justice, and the guilty person is punished.

I'm hoping that's what happened next!

My impression is that young Japanese nowadays are spending a larger percentage of their income on rent than their parents did. That might lead to them not feeling financially ready yet, especially when comparing to an elderly generation which owned the family home at their age.

Also, you're not wrong with your comparison against Sydney. But are young families in Sydney having more kids? Or is it maybe just bad in both cases?

> The option of doing away with the hardware keyboard and going touchscreen-only was always there and always up for discussion, but for the longest time not easy due to the power and performance envelope at the price point.

Not only the option was there, there were mobile phones with touch screens before the iPhone. Anyone remembers Windows Mobile? It resembled windows very much, including the start button. It was just ridiculous. One of the central innovations of the iPhone was making scrolling with touchpad as natural as flicking a piece of paper over a table. It seemed instantaneous. Most touchpads before the iPhone weren't capacitive. They required a lot of pressure. Using them for scrolling seemed ridiculous.
Rethink How You Countdown to Life's Big Moments
I'm excited to share with you all an app I've been working on, called DayPlus – a fresh take on countdown apps. Instead of the usual list view, DayPlus represents your upcoming events as dynamic spheres that respond to the passage of time, growing or shrinking as the event approaches, complete with gravity effects.

What sets DayPlus apart? It's not just a visual gimmick; the sphere design is a more intuitive representation of time, providing a quick, at-a-glance way of understanding how much time is left until an event. You can even set it to track anniversaries or past events and have them repeat yearly.

I'm here for your thoughts and feedback. What do you look for in a countdown app? Any particular features you'd love to see in the next update?

Try DayPlus and join me in reimagining the countdown experience: DayPlus[https://apps.apple.com/app/id6463768562].

Thank you for your time and insight – I look forward to reading your comments and suggestions!
> Apple's HEIC is very annoying since it's not really supported by anything non-Apple.

"Apple's"?

HEIC is HEVC encoded image in a HEIF container, it's defined in ISO/IEC 23008-12, and was created by the Motion Picture Experts Group.

Further more, it's supported by Windows 10/11, Android 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.

Or did you mean, it's not really supported by browsers other than Safari?

Whose fault is that?

> Would certainly be nice to see that go away.

Why, exactly?

Did you also wish for H.264 playback support to "go away" when Safari supported it, but neither Chrome nor Firefox did?
Huemer mentions Marx as an example of someone whose politically motivated actions broadly led to more harm than good over time, in his view. One can swap in Stalin or Mao, for their Cultural and Russian Revolutions which both killed many hundreds of thousands, or some living memory political actor like George W. Bush or the 9/11 airplane hijackers themselves for their political actions inciting and stoking the flames of the War on Terror, which killed some 3 million in its own right. The paper condemns all of these people for their part in mass murder, and thinks the world would have probably been a better place if they did nothing at all.

The Lisp machine failed because Lisp compiler technology got better and better at targeting generic 32-bit CPU hardware, which was becoming increasingly cheap and plentiful. So the benefits of having all this custom hardware to specially execute Lisp code were nullified -- leaving only the costs.

The same thing happened to Java in hardware. It seemed like a good idea at the time because it allowed developers to target a language they were already familiar with, and present an alternative to Wintel -- especially when you realize that Java was all the rage as a sort of universal programming environment, and in particular J2ME was a big deal for proto-"smart" phones before the iPhone came along. But embedded Java didn't really pan out, memory and CPU time got cheaper, and compiler and JIT tech improved to the point where there was just no benefit to adding the hardware it took to decode Java instructions. So Jazelle was deprecated and replaced with something called ThumbEE, which was a more generic framework based on ARM's Thumb instruction set for running code for an abstract machine, providing features like automatic null-pointer checking and that. Like you could set up a ThumbEE environment for running Python or .NET code in addition to Java. Nowadays even ThumbEE is deprecated. Neither feature appears in ARMv8 processors, for instance.

It is important to specify which kind of latency percentile this is. Checking on a customer's cluster (made from 336 SATA SSDs in 15 servers, so not the best one in the world):

50th percentile = 1.75 ms
90th percentile = 3.15 ms
99th percentile = 9.54 ms

That's with 700 MB/s of reads and 200 MB/s of writes, or approximately 7000 reads IOPS and 9000 writes IOPS.

> have zero incentive to prevent employees from warming themselves in their vehicles.

I would think the angry mob of people without vehicles to warm in would provide a pretty good incentive. "Why do they get to stay in their warm cars while we're stuck out in the cold?" can escalate pretty quickly.

> Also I don't like how they force all the titles into title case (edit: actually I think I'm wrong about this.)

In many cases (not sure of the rules), it fiddles with the case, as it does various other title manglings. If it does mangle things, the submitter can edit them back the way they were and it won’t mangle again.

I strongly dislike the title mangler and would fain see it removed. I feel like I disagree with its modifications most of the time, and even the ones that have some justification like removing numbers at the start as a declickbaiting measure (“400 ways to do X” → “Ways to do X”) very often harm the sense, and I dislike these cases more than I dislike its improvements.

(But maybe if the mangler were disabled I would realise that people are doing a terrible job of entering titles and it is actually fixing a lot of stuff.)

I get it, but your response regarding incompetence being weaponized to me demonstrated a reductive and unsophisticated understanding of the causes and effects in 'racism'[1]. I get that you were most likely being hyperbolic to make a point, but unfortunately many people who are not personally familiar with such things tend to think in that way.

I know that this is frustrating and sometimes can look very much like opportunistic virtue signaling, and many times it can be, but I would caution against immediately dismissing such claims when they are made and defended by parties that otherwise would not have reason to do so.

I laughed at this. Changing a fuse is… a bit scary? They literally teach this in elementary school in the U.K. - or they did. As you say, no need to fretfully check the fuse - either it blows or it doesn’t, and you’ll know when it does. At least he didn’t find the receptacle holding a dead fuse, carefully wrapped in the ceremonial aluminium shroud of eternal life and certain death, which is a crime I may have committed in my younger, more fire-prone years.

> we can only surmise that the author has discovered a rare outlier in this space where that is not the case.

Exactly what I was thinking! What luck that the author found the single IoT device out there that's a cobbled together piece of bodged electronics designed by a graduate from a webdev bootcamp with a Corel Draw focus. A device that, while only ~15 years old is not only hopelessly useless, but also obsolete and insecure.

It's a good thing all other consumer IoT device manufacturers think about and prioritize security, longevity! Also, that customers nowadays are more focused on installing something fit-for-purpose and sustainable once than buying the cheapest shit possible with the blinkiest LEDs.

I shudder to think about how long they tried to get the string-and-cups based telephone to work in my building until the 1930's when they installed the copper still used today for DSL. Or how terrible the paper-straw based water system must have been up to the 1890's when they realized investing in metal pipes has advantages. So glad the days of short-term thinking are behind us.
On <!DOCTYPE html> versus <!doctype html>: it’s actually not so simple. If you’re using gzip, you might manage to save as much as a few bytes (though typically only 1–2), but if you’re using Brotli, it’ll actually compress something like 2–4 bytes worse, because Brotli includes a static dictionary based on a popularity contest of largely-not-optimised content.

This is a thing I dislike about Brotli: it encourages you to follow the herd, rather than doing what would otherwise be more optimal. (Sure, the encouragement is just a byte here, a byte there, but it’s the principle of the thing.)

Here are sizes based on running `‹brotli or gzip› --stdout <<<'‹doctype›‹charset›' | wc -c`:

┌─────────────────┬────────────────────────┬──────────────────────┐
│ BROTLI │ <meta charset="utf-8"> │ <meta charset=utf-8> │
├─────────────────┼────────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
│ <!DOCTYPE html> │ 19 │ 27 │
│ <!doctype html> │ 23 │ 29 │
└─────────────────┴────────────────────────┴──────────────────────┘

┌─────────────────┬────────────────────────┬──────────────────────┐
│ GZIP │ <meta charset="utf-8"> │ <meta charset=utf-8> │
├─────────────────┼────────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
│ <!DOCTYPE html> │ 58 │ 56 │
│ <!doctype html> │ 58 │ 56 │
└─────────────────┴────────────────────────┴──────────────────────┘

In practice, when you add more content, predominantly lowercase, doctype tends to save a byte or two compared to DOCTYPE. So gzip gravitates to the bottom left corner—that removing unnecessary characters and matching case where case-insensitive is good. But Brotli was made by popularity contest, and so the inferior representation actually ends up compressing better than the superior, because most people did things the inferior way!

As for layering, Tart doesn't support it at the moment. It seems APFS is not particularly good for layering but Tart uses sparsed files when storing VMs locally. Sparsed disk image file basically "skips" zero bytes which saves a lot.

I used this effect in my chess trainer (the link is in my profile). I have a file with 800 compressed chess positions, and I used a lot of tricks to get the file as small as I could. One trick was to invert the color of every piece on White's side of the board. In a typical position outside of the endgame, White's pieces will tend to be on his side of the board, and Black's will tend to be on his side. By inverting the piece colors on one side, I ended up with positions where almost all of the pieces are black, and here and there you'll have a white piece. It's similar to how most of the letters in text are lowercase, and occasionally you'll see an uppercase letter. I think I shrank the file by 5% or so this way.

The RCMP held a gun to my wife's head when she was pulled over and threatened to shoot. I think it was because she was driving a beat up car in a wealthy part of the city. After they realized she was a student, they just let her go and did a complete 180 pretending they were all buddy-buddy with her.

During the interaction they said some really threatening, creepy, and disparaging things.

We launched a complaint, but since we left the country (for work), they said they couldn't do anything as we were non-residents.

The whole thing was completely unacceptable. I'm not anti-police, but the RCMP need serious reform.

Institutionally empowered would have been a better phrase.

While the PO doesn't have specific legislative powers to bring private prosecutions, they did have a significant amount of institutional holdover from when is was a public body.

Specifically, a close working relationship with the police and other bodies with statutory powers that went far beyond any relationship a privately owned body should have. E.g. they were given direct access to the Police National Computer System.
I have a feeling they might not actually need the latest fab tech.

What matters is FLOPS/dollar (production cost) and FLOPS/kilowatt (energy use of resulting chips).

If you can use an older tech fab to get production cost down enough, it might be worth living with bigger transistors that use a little more energy.

AI stuff is massively parallel, unlike most other tech stuff, so they don't actually need super low latency and high clock speeds.

Okay, looked at your reference:

https://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/meteorology/SH.html

There can see:

(1) Yes, there is ozone in the atmosphere
of the southern hemisphere, and the
concentration of the ozone varies with
month of the year and altitude.

(2) The ozone is created by ultraviolet
(UV) from the sun.

(3) Ozone converts back to oxygen via

2O3 --> 3O2

(4) When it is late summer, August, in the
northern hemisphere, it is late winter in
the southern hemisphere with some months
of much less sunlight, so little that many
days go 24 hours with no sunlight. Thus,
by August ozone has been converting back
to oxygen as usual; ozone creation has
been way down; and, no surprise, there is
an "ozone hole" over Antarctica.

(4) CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) do cause
destruction of some ozone. I see:

> Increased levels of human-produced gases
such as CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) have
led to increased rates of ozone
destruction, upsetting the natural balance
of ozone and leading to reduced
stratospheric ozone levels. These reduced
ozone levels have increased the amount of
harmful ultraviolet radiation reaching the
Earth’s surface.

All of this is just as I claimed.

And the reference does not answer the
crucial, central question I asked, "how
much", how many kilograms of CFCs are
destroying how many kilograms of ozone per
day and, thus, letting how many Watts of
UV radiation reach Antarctica, and what
are the effects in percent of ozone and UV
radiation?

So, that reference does not give credible
scientific data that CFCs destroying ozone
are a threat.

And there are hints in the text there that
my concern is appropriate, that is, ozone
concentration varies:

> Uh, and maybe what is the stochastic
process of ozone concentration considering
solar flairs, sun spots, the standard 11
year cycle of sun spots with or without
CFCs?

Thus, 100% of my claims are supported by
the reference, and, net, we are left with
no credible scientific evidence that CFCs
are a threat.

And the reference did not claim, as you
did, that the Nobel prize is good evidence
that the CFCs are a threat.
Well, you're right, and I appreciate your evenhandedness in calling me on it. You're not the one being disrespectful here.
