Yes, it is very much negligent on the part of the manufacturers, on the other hand, at that price point you should look at these as things that you can make a laser cutter from, not a complete product. For instance, my machine was after the initial build quite far out of square, it was a parallelogram rather than a square and it took quite a bit of fiddling to get it to cut square pieces. It also didn't want to stay level and that too took some work to correct.

These weren't small errors, > 2 mm in either axis across the 61 cm x 61 cm work area of the machine. But now that it has been set up properly it is quite usable.

A 'real' machine has a calibration procedure that will allow you to correct for such errors as well as a large variety of others but these cheap machines just output stepper pulses in fire-and-forget mode without any feedback at all besides the ability to re-home in case they get lost (and the homing switches are so crummy that I'm amazed they work at all). But that usually implies a ruined work piece.
You can’t just call it “collateral damage” for the sake of avoiding the label of genocide while you’re murdering, starving, and barbarically destroying a society of millions of innocent people.
Not only that, conversations can be misunderstood. People can have offline conversations, which then continue online, but missing all the context. People can use industry buzzwords to describe something in an inaccurate way.

All of that is pure gold to an attorney looking to put a company in as bad a light as possible.
Failed Startups in the Construction Industry?
Does anyone know about failed startups in the construction/remodeling industry?
Would love to have insight into why you think they failed.
Oh that's great, shall I link to your project from the article?
You are being downvoted in part because if you’d kept reading you’d find that info is all in the article.
> the problem is that these phones are a few years behind the curve and that the apps are written for high end phones. (the fairphone was really struggling to run wechat)

I didn't see issues running wechat on a Pixel 3a, which is slightly older than the Fairphone 3. I replaced my 3a with a 6a, but not for any performance-related reasons.

Maybe there's something weird about the Fairphone 3?
Indeed. That's why I'm already looking into how to add XML support.
Last time I priced it out, Backblaze was more expensive per GB — note that I'm using Glacier Deep Archive, which is something like an order of magnitude less expensive than plain Glacier-backed buckets.

It also incurs a delay of at least 6-12 hours before the first byte of retrieval occurs, when you need to restore. So there are tradeoffs for the price.
The solution is to end tribalism, and nothing more. The rest of your comment imagines and argues against something not stated.

Has anyone used it successfully as a replacement for two-way sync apps (like Insync for Google Drive)?. Insync sucks, and Google Drive sucks, but for something I depend on every day I feel like I really need to have a local copy of the files and immediate sync between local and server, particularly when Internet access is spotty.
> Did you attend a modern American school, with metal detectors, transparent backpacks and zero tolerance policies?

Not all those qualities, but we did have metal detectors.

> It's really not hyperbole. It's an apt comparison.

I guess my standards are lower compared to you, I associate prison with complete lack of freedom where you cannot leave at the end of the day, most other things are representations of that. School was generally fine, and even quite fun some days for myself.
Israel is a close military ally and Palestine is... not.

There are no true neutral countries in the world. Everyone has allies who they treat differently than enemies.

There are no good guys or bad guys. There are only countries which do good and bad things.

Whether its in Palestine or Congo or China or Ukraine, the most even a superpower can do is leverage power to reduce killing and fatalities.

I'm trying to think of a time that something has ONLY worked on Chrome on my Mac in recent times and I honestly cannot think of one. Actually there was one: When I booked PeruRail a couple of years ago, the booking site only worked on Chrome. Otherwise in the exceedingly rare times that Firefox doesn't work, switching to Safari does.

None of them were from confirmed sources or even cross referenced.

As for a commissioner seriously reacting to it; your local police department is more professional when it comes to commenting on active investigations.

They mainly act like politicians that want to look though in crime. Vestager is a great example of how much PR the average commissioner is willing to utilize, even when they get wiped out of court.
FYI I use Safari with a Mozilla produced ad blocker extension. It comes along with their FireFox Focus browser.
I thought of an analogy a moment ago, and I want to use it.

Drag racing has a super stock category, which is pretty much a normal car you buy and then mess with. Some folks are sponsored, but generally sponsorships are in the thousands of dollars range, not the millions, like pro funny car or top fuel would have. Most of the budget comes from folk's wallets and maybe winnings.

There are race car drivers, there are race car mechanics, and sometimes they're both the same person. Any _good_ driver is going to have some idea about how to turn a wrench. Any _good_ mechanic is going to have taken a few runs, and the fear of death rules out that particular career choice.

I think your point about the material is a good one. I think, that might also be a "level 2" skill. I think there is a huge amount of stuff to do to get a real sense of what CNC can do, and what a given person is able to do with a given setup. super beginner stuff like, what do I click to make the run go? is it connected right? What's a spline? Why is the enclosure orange? Just the safety stuff alone is pretty intense. And like, engaging the safety squint isn't going to help at all.

I'm very much an advocate for getting the shitty version to learn on. Maybe I learn bad practices, but I find I REALLY appreciate good tools. I have the tools I have because I finally understood what I needed and why it needed to be that way. Some of the tools in the box rarely get touched, but they're good enough when I need them.

Sorry to ramble at you, I guess I just needed to get that out.

_edit_

and of course, you're the author of the article. Ahh, it's been a rough week. I think it's a good intro.
I agree with this comment. My typing speed was sometimes the bottleneck, but usually it was my speed of thought, but often I fell into this cargo cult thinking that the ability to type fast matters
Seems like a market opportunity exists for this especially with Apple cutting external drive support for third party sync tools including DropBox.
The Israelis would continue the war with Hamas with no US support and a ceasefire in the UN. The US won't sacrifice it's relationship with Israel to try to force a resolution on an intractable issue that doesn't really concern the US, and it's interesting that they would be expected to.

>The "We were afraid of the people, they might attack us, we have to do this" line wasn't believable in the 30's and isn't now.

Haven't the Israelis have come under attack from Palestinians since that time for moving on to the land in numbers that made the Palestinians uncomfortable.
Oh, of course - the source is highly reliable, having "Euromaidan" in its name, the US-funded orange "revolution" in Ukraine, which led to half of the population leaving the country and over half a million Ukrainian men being slaughtered just so that the neocons in Washington can get their high!
This could lead to extremely interest and important conclusions. I now see two variants.

Variant 1: all our neuro-computing industry just on wrong way (may be this is intentional trick by hardware manufacturers, but scientists at field could also missed something important in pursue for low hanging fruits), and we already missed point where consciousness happen, and instead we unnecessary spent huge resources on communications on language understandable for our computers (for benchmarks understandable for investors).

Variant 2: large Neural Networks already consciousness, but we don't understand them, and they looks on us like playing Dolphins (or cats, if you love cats). And once we will be extremely discouraged, when they will just ask something like "human, you really want to continue play this game of words? How about make something serious?"
Anything reflective is right out, but I have some tiles of various plumage laying around and I'll run a materials test on them. I'll post an update (this will take a few days to set up).

My first response is: wrong process, I'd use a water cutter with an abrasive added to the water for this particular application. But my second response is: you can't be sure without trying, but I predict it will either not work at all or it will take an insane number of passes.
Give Orion a go. Built by Kagi (privacy-focused subscription web search service taking on Google) that has ad-blocking built in, and supports both Firefox and Chrome extensions.

https://apps.apple.com/au/app/orion-browser-by-kagi/id148449...

Despite Orion being built by Kagi (and works natively with Kagi search), you're still free to use other search engines like Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and some other obscure ones.

Orion also allows you to chose a different search engine in private mode, which is a nice feature.

As a side-note, I thought I'd still be using Google a lot despite subscribing to Kagi for search. I barely use Google now as Kagi works just as well, without Google's crap, for essentially everything bar some really obscure spatial questions I have which Google seems to have indexed more. Though I don't expect that to last long.

I was not paid by Kagi to say this. I was a skeptic at first, I am very happy with how good Kagi is.

Congrats OP! this is real american hustle.

Few counterpoints

> and oftentimes the best one can hope to do is "hack" the system

None of this is "hacking". This is how it works and supposed to work in the law. The manuals given to USCIS agents who handle this are at best low grade pen pushers. They have zero understanding of the work they are doing and are not qualified to make these decisions in any way. The way they work is through checklists and unless you pass this checklist your intent and what you are has zero relevance.

When you go deep into why these laws were created and why these specific regulations exist, you will find out that the lawmakers totally intended this. For example, it is ridiculously easy for a model who has even occasionally walked the ramp to "hack" the system. This was created so escorts, supermodels and side chicks of rich and powerful could be brought in easily on O1. One such lady even ended up in white house.

> It seems pretty apparent that while OP may be able to "check some of these boxes", he, at least to me, doesn't meet the "Extraordinary Ability" intent of this visa. I worry that with more spotlight on these types of applications that various political movements would try to tighten the loopholes for this visa.

You are not in charge of deciding who is extra ordinary, USCIS agent is. I bet if you were in charge of making such decisions you would do a better job and actually let in 10x more people. But that is not the way it is. USCIS agent makes the decision based on a relatively very objective criteria.

> To expand on number 2, raising 98K from family, friends and seed investors really does not strike me as a "nationally or internationally recognized award".

It does not "strike to you" is irrelevant. What matters is is it will within the USCIS's defition.

Congrats to OP for writign this piece and I hope more and more people use these sort of systematic approach.
Jews were legal second class citizens and were treated terribly, e.g. being banned from wearing shoes in Morocco, and when the ban was overturned, so many Jews were murdered in riots that the community asked for shoes to be banned again.

https://twitter.com/TaliaRinger/status/1738328128999575931

And it's not just Morocco; Yemen for example had official state policy of kidnapping Jewish orphans to forcibly convert them to Islam. Baghdad massacred Jews starting in the 1820s, long before Israel existed. The Damascus affair was in 1840: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus_affair

Dhimmi status is bad! It's not as bad as being pagan in Muslim countries historically, where you could just legally be killed if you didn't convert to Islam. And at times it was better than Europe, which more-frequently murdered its Jews. But it was bad, and it was bad long, long before Israel. There's a reason Mizrahi Jews form the right-wing base in Israel — it's not because it was good.
At last (or at least soon) I can stop using the special reserved example.com for things. :p

That's wonderful! Full endorsement of the support of rsync.net.

I sincerely doubt most tools will be supported by most providers (by usage), however, and I question the evaluation of tools by this metric. Support is generally a fairly bad metric by which to evaluate tooling—generally speaking, if you care which client is consuming an API someone has done something horrifically wrong.
Then don't buy Apple hardware. There are those of us who find Apple's walled garden approach preferable to having to (1) tweak everything all the time because we can't get audio working or (2) we have to run three different competing antivirus scanners that make our 2024 computer run like it was made in 1983 or (3) be stuck in Google's walled garden where even if you pay, you are still the product.

Does Apple need to change things? Yes. But I — and I know that I’m not alone on this — happen to agree with Apple that the DMA changes requested will reduce overall security for customers. There may be worthwhile changes that happen because of the DMA, but the reduced security position is real.
All of this makes perfect sense. The markets these machines unlock simply didn't exist before and suddenly you find you can have capabilities in-house that would have cost you an arm, a leg and your firstborn not all that long ago.

As for the shitty version: it actually isn't all that shitty! Of course I'd like a larger bed and of course I'd like a more powerful laser. I'd like to be able to cut through two inches of steel with zero kerf. But in practice this is what I have and the easy solution is not to pine for the tool that you can imagine but to get the most out of the tool that you can afford and that you have.
Multiple YT profiles is a smart hack! And also, great work on the app!

The YT algo is pretty good - it catches on to what I want to follow and magnifies (ie suggest more content on) that topic. But it never pushes me to educational videos.

I suspect educational videos are best to watch on Coursera. I know people who just open up Coursera and start listening on commutes, etc - instead of infi-scrolling.

The pedagogical (instruction techniques, content structure, etc) aspect in those vids is different. I wonder if there is inspiration for creators/topics from Coursera?
Just browsing the list of supported providers and such makes me a bit overwhelmed. There are so many tools that are kinda similar but slightly different, that from "wow, rclone seems like a great tool" I quickly come to "what should I even use?" Rclone, restic, borg, git-annex… Is there a case to use several of them together? Are there, like, good comprehensive real-life case studies to see how people use all that stuff and organize vast amounts of data (which are kinda prerequisite for anything like that to be used in the first place)?
It used to be that the only programs capable of somewhat correctly parsing HTML were web browsers, each one of them produced different results, most weren't open-source, and none were reusable as libraries. If you wanted to parse HTML in... looks up what MySpace was written in... ColdFusion, you were all out of luck. Since then people spent years developing specifications and writing the libraries, so now it's not a big deal.
Yeah I'd say unplug for sure it's amazing how many things can be solved by just unplugging something and letting any charge dissipate.

That was my go to trick when I was a slot tech at a casino. The old $50K/each slot machines often went crazy with errors some due to EEPROM "chip creep" other errors possibly static. So I just unplugged and waited ten minutes or so.

Instead of Chrome being the modern Internet Explorer, mobile Safari has taken that place.

From this point of view I'm not sure what we're losing in the proposition when we still get Firefox and alternative browsers on iOS.

Right now the choice is between Safari holding back the whole web on mobile (as Safari stagnates Chrome gets a pass for barely coasting as well on android) or finally have it move forward at perhaps the cost of Chrome gaining more market share. Refusing progress just to spite a single company doesn't feel worth it to be honest.

Yeah, if you ctrl-f "peace" on that page, you'll see it doesn't appear in the charter at all, not sure why you're copy-pasting the link and saying "ctrl-f" as if it were a gotcha. Similarly, posting random articles about Jewish settlers supposedly stealing someone's home is not an argument for why your very weird "Brooklyn" statement wasn't just rabid antisemitism.

Good luck; not going to keep responding to you.

Edit: I see you have now stealth-edited your comment and are pretending that "Brooklyn doesn't get to decide that" as a response to me saying that the PA is doing better economically and in terms of the security of its people, is supposedly referencing Kahanists. I am not a Kahanist, and am not from Brooklyn, and this is literally the first time you've brought up Kahanists in this discussion (and no, Kahanists do not control the PA, or Ramallah, or Jenin, or whatever), so nice try but not especially convincing.

Sorry Steve, IDG knows who's going to win this race, and it isn't Apple.

for me, its about getting into the task as instantly as possible... Say im returning from the toilet, i sit on my desk, open code editor, and code the next thing, all in like 2 seconds. Being adhd for me actually means i can get in to the zone TOO quickly. But that usually means the zone of music or other white noise at youtube.
The wrong sequence would be like sit down at desk, open youtube to set music/white noise, open editor, check slack, get into the code cause you are already in the youtube zone.

I think you've hit the nail on the head, about how systems of compliance breeds malcontentedness.

There's the saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely," but it's such a more boring banal inverted tyranny that allows well intended useful money to flow into such low life police state shit, and it ruins so badly the greater project & belief in doing stuff.

Cynicism seems ever on the rise, and it keeps seeming ever more warranted. More and more, nothing becomes as punk & contrarian as hopefulness & trying, in believing that we can surpass our mired shittinesses.
