Cheap, laser and metal cutting are not normally seen in the same sentence...

You'll want a beefy fiber laser and an industrial setup with regards to fume extraction, metal vapor isn't exactly healthy to breathe. Operating a machine of that power level in or near a residence is probably not the best idea unless you live remote. For work like that I'd probably outsource it, I do not have enough metal cutting projects that I need that capability in house and in an extreme case I can always break out the jigsaw (or even the grinder...) for a one-off. Not quite as precise but for most stuff I do that would be good enough.
You can interact with a working demonstration booth of this at MIT. That apparatus had an initial backwards torque when you turned on the suction, but no constant torque pushing it the other way once everything hit steady state. I wonder why these authors seem to have gotten a different result...

Try a call with several participants where one has a low speed connection.

Try open a Word doc. The layout is screwed, or is it? Online Word, the app and Teams all show it differently.

Try drag and drop a document onto it on a Mac - that’s broken (may have been fixed in last update).

Try have the app respond in less than 3 seconds after a click, on a gigabit connection.

Try download a large folder from Teams. Good luck - it will crap out.

Every day is another paper cut.
I don’t have a better platform to go to but I do wonder if a network share and any other chat app would replace Teams, and we are looking into that.
Probably. I tend to use both interchangeably, though probably incorrectly. I think either could describe the use case here, in the sense the library is binding to the API for Open Brewery DB. SDK could fit the bill here, and that's ultimately the hope if I get it to a place where it would be the "official" way to use the API via PHP.
Ok, I've ordered a 6 mm sheet, curious if it will work at all and if so how well.
Ah, Teams. Wouldn't let me join meetings when I wasnt in the office, but worked when I was in the office. Great remote collaboration tool!

I finally figured out how to fix it a few days ago (weird interaction with the Citrix client). Then it all stopped working again.

I just put it down to being an incredibly flaky app. Didn't occur to me that it had actually gone down.
But on a threadmill you're going in a straight line and usually at constant speed. A constant speed, you don't have acceleration.
There is no enforcement that can stop it because a kid can just pay cash for a product from someone older who bought it legally.
This is a good opportunity to point out that insider trading is a victimless crime. If you sell stock with insider knowledge, you sell it to someone who would have happily bought it at the same price or possibly a higher price from someone else anyway. The same is true if you buy stock with insider knowledge. The only net effect of insider trading is to make the market more efficient by pricing in otherwise inaccessible information.
In the long run, fiber is the cheapest [1] and the best technological fit in rural and non-rural areas. Satellite internet is unreliable in storms due to attenuation, has decreasing bandwidth as more users sign up (which is one reason Starlink is expensive), and creates space junk down the line. Wireless solutions on land via 5G and the like require wires (will become mostly fiber) to carry the internet traffic to intermediate transmitters. 5G also needs more cells [2] per unit area compared to 4G to compensate for attenuation.

Almost all of them are German in fact - since I find them through my network primarily. I guess the answer to your question is because I'm too lazy :) Plus I primarily work with startups, they tend to be pretty international here.
Important clarification: you do not need to have confidentiality obligations with respect to the information or a fiduciary relationship, it need only be information that is material and non-public information that belongs to the company (i.e. only available to those with a fiduciary responsibility or confidentiality obligation to the company). If an insider with confidentiality obligations shares material non-public information with a person who has no confidentiality obligation, and that person trades on that information, that would be insider trading.

The link you referenced also clarifies this point, but it is different from what is written in your comment.

Note: this doesn't change the fact that the answer in this particular case is no, it's not insider trading. You are, as parent mentioned, just the first to know the news.

My favorite (more minor) issue to harp on is the lack of rebindable keybinds. Paste without formatting is Ctrl+Shift+V, while make a phone call to the other person is Ctrl+Shift+C. After enough accidental calls (fortunately my teammate was very understanding) I had to just install Microsoft PowerToys to override the default keybind.
They do it because it works. Many YouTubers experiment extensively with their thumbnails to see what gets most clicks. You can alter a thumbnail after uploading and compare the clickrate.
I've been thinking about building a system that would enable me to quickly react to black swan events like this should they happen around me in daily life. The problem is that most of my funds are in savings accounts that take 1-2 business days to withdraw from, so I'd have to keep them in accounts that are faster to access.

Also, this information that the passengers had in advance could have been worth millions in the right hands. If you had information like this, how could you quickly find parties interested in buying this information or giving you a share of potential gains?
I don't think that is material, it definitely isn't for code that's actually running the loop. I did just try timing it with the pipe to hexdump and of course it makes no difference. One could do the same or just modify the code to include conversion if worried about the impact.
It looks to me that they're spinning than rotating; in other words, rotate around an axis that is perpendicular to the ground, instead of parallel to the ground.

And because of this, the person above is stepping on the "spinning surface" (the "base" surface of a cylinder) of these tiny disks, instead of the curved surface like a normal wheel or some industrial conveyor wheels (as someone linked below, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRS0Uj2WdpA ).

So in a sense, they're not "rotating like rotating wheels" despite being wheels/disks.

BTW, it looks like they also can adjust its axis angle slightly (less than 30 degree), which I imagine is also crucial to how it works.
As always, remember to consider humidity when compararing locations - it can make both cold and hot weather feel much harsher. I'm more comfortable in 40c at low humidity than 25c at 90%. The UK experiences much more of the latter.
If your items are stolen from your car, the police officer can't care, but will take the report. If you say you left your doors unlocked, you also get a lecture. No one will welcome or be impressed by any sleuthing on your part. Maybe you can find your stuff, but is it worth the risk?

There is a big difference between "humble ignorance" based in genuine willingness to learn and "willful ignorance" based in the unwillingness to change established views even after logically dismantling their beliefs or being shown mountains of contradictory evidence. Those latter people are lying liars, no matter how you try to rationalize it.
> there's that hilarious video

It’s was just painful, and then I saw that the account holder is Microsoft. Is this correct?

That’s like a messed up version of Apple’s ‘it’s 75% faster’ graphs but with more of your time wasted watching a video showing how bad they were and and still are.
If it makes you feel better, I’m at a start up right now and we definitely are not polished yet!

But as a point of reference to maybe give insight to your question, the last time I joined a start up was 21 years ago. Here are some differences I have noted:

- Stunningly vast array of high quality, open source tools, platforms, and frameworks. Some of this stuff we had to pay for. A lot of it wasn’t very good or limited. Even more of it we had to invent ourselves.

- Cloud services. I, all by myself, can write some YAML and have an industry-standard, production-ready stack published to the Internet and ready for traffic in a couple of hours. Of course, I’ll pay out the nose if it hits big, but compare this to the extremely high barrier to entry when I spent weeks or months planning out infrastructure, procuring and deploying hardware, configuring endless firmware/software, tuning, testing, building out failover, backup strategies, and a billion other things, not to mention the actual software I want to deliver.

- Available talent. Extraordinary engineers and developers have always been hard to find, but good enough ones are fairly plentiful, especially now that you’re no longer limited to hiring or moving people local.

- Freely available knowledge. You younger folks shit constantly on Stack Overflow and the likes, but y’all don’t know how good you have it now. Blogs, vlogs, online and often open courses, SO/reddit, ChatGPT, etc. enable you to go from zero to hero in minutes, where I often had to spend days or weeks to figure something out for myself or to find some wizard in a dark cave to share their arcane knowledge.

- Established patterns. People have written voluminous books and blogs about precisely how to build large scale and high quality applications and systems, and as we discussed, a lot of the tools are readily available to you with little or no money involved.

It’s called commoditization. As for appearing to already have customers ready to go: I think the low barrier to entry allows people to more freely experiment with ideas closer to a potential customer, get it in front of them, and further build out
from there fairly quickly and organically. That, however, is no guarantee it will be a sustainable business.
They already have drone craft that are actually based on the space shuttle platform that are probably doing things that would be impossible with a human inside, like the x37 orbiting the earth for two and a half years. Their exact capabilities and missions are classified though. These are also just the craft that have been revealed to the public, who knows the true capabilities of whats been built and what exactly is on the table in the near future.
Why would it be it’s public information at that point.
Not California, but in general terms this is not accurate. My local grid connection provider (the largest in the country), does not differentiate between 1x25A and 3x63A in cost. It's the same price.

That's a pretty big difference in available power for the same price. (5.8~43.5 kW)

depends on the complexity of the app. An app that can reasonably be a PWA (e.g. it is more or less a webpage wrapped in an APK) can probably be tested well enough on a dozen emulator pofiles and a few physical devices you have lying around.

>The biggest factor perpetuating the free market and the decline of monopolies is tech progress and the MBA-ification of big companies

Could you elaborate on this? It's not seen in practice - both tech progress and MBAs are contributors to the condensing of every industry (airlines, banks, supermarkets, office supply stores, appliance manufacurers, food manufacturers, etc.) into fewer and fewer megacorps with monopoly or oligopoly effects.
My argument is if people are going 50mph on your 35mph road, making it 25mph isn’t changing anything but making the bus route on that road slower.

>SQL Server

If you mean the DB server itself, sure. But for actually managing it, they've effectively killed further development of SSMS in favor of Azure Data Studio. And while Azure Data Studio is relatively fast and snappy, it's missing a lot of SSMS functionality. Meanwhile they refuse to implement a dark mode in SSMS despite it being the most requested feature for several years running now.

It sort of was, they chose Teams. I say this as someone who uses Teams and could probably get us moving away from it but the inertia is real.
As an aside, is there anyone using AirTags in the collar to keep track of pets? Seems like it would be a fairly easy and cheap way to track.
That's what I mean. Rotating around their axis, which is spinning. Like the world rotates or spins. And by wheels I also mean disk, probably disks is more precise just as the spinning but really don't see why anyone would be confused when there's a video.

But anyway, thanks for improving my English.
As a random individual, almost certainly. I can do lots of (legal) things to ferret out information that is theoretically public but which isn't actually widely known.

As an insider it's more complicated as I understand it. A company I worked for had a no trade window around earnings reports. The idea is that not only couldn't you trade on advance information but you also couldn't trade before investors had time to price the results into the stock. In other word, you couldn't trade based on the results you knew were coming a microsecond after the results hit the wire. (The HFTs would probably beat you anyway but I digress.)

It'd be lovely to reverse some of the anti-cirumvention laws. Turns out that letting people do things to devices they have purchased is actually great.

Not using a product as the code initially dictates is not actually a criminal violation, in any sane world. The law is making a fool of itself for backing software-as-law as it does.
...pretty sure that was the joke.
Descent for Apple - maybe.

Descent of the free market - no, this is how it's supposed to work.

Monopolies can be good for a short while for the economy, although they always go sour after a while.

Standard Oil provided clean(er) and safe(r) lighting and fuel for millions around the world, developing ultra efficient refining and distribution techniques. They even saved the whales by accident.

M$ was much-reviled in the 90's, but their PC monopoly helped establish a standard for computing, which almost certainly contributed positively to the rapid development of hardware and the internet in that time.

The same is true for the iPhone ecosystem and the large-country-sized app economy it spawned.

But if Apple doesn't keep innovating (truly new products, not just newer phones and iOS'es), no amount of monopolistic action will keep them afloat and in fact would probably hasten their decline. These big corpo's become the victims of the economic and technical progress they create.

Probably because iOS 17.4 is in beta and just got released a few days ago.
I had a similar experience many years ago and learned my lesson and stopped engaging this way with people I didn't know. Later I learned just how easy it is to dox people using stylometry (see: how Ted Kaczynski was caught) or by finding a careless mistake (see: how Dread Pirate Roberts was caught). I was glad then that I learned to be cautious.
I agree, Google Meet works well with no account.

What does "non-public" mean here? If some information gets leaked without authorization by an insider (like when people leak stuff online...), (when) does that become public?
I doubt the problem is technical. There probably were 20 best practices and safeguards in place to prevent it technically. The problem is guardrails and best practices only matter if they are cared about by the organization/leadership/bureaucracy. I've been told to give super admin/root rights to VIPs that had no business with such things many times over the years even though it overrode all policy/procedure/regulation/law.

Its also compounded by every job is a

cross-cross-cross-parttimecross-cross-dualrole-trirole job these days.

I've seen role based controls that had more roles than actual permissions that were possible to grant so the entire point of the RBAC was self defeating. It was actually less time to simply grant permissions individually but of course that meant the reports would not show roles so it was not allowed.

That doesn't come from the tech people that comes from poor leadership.

On a side note I once designed an add on to a RBAC permission system to overcome this problem for an in house ERP. We had a permission type called "Permission Exception" If someone needed a permission outside of their role they got it assigned this way so a report could be generated that showed everyone that could do things outside of a job role. I've never seen it anywhere else. All it did was add a flag to the permission but it worked. HR would check the permission exceptions every quarter and see what needed removed from people. It kept the permissions in check by actual knowledgeable authority rather than some part time help desk position trying to cluelessly trial error untangle permissions.
