I'm curious what the electronics scene was like in your context- I assume you were in USSR, probably russia? Is this stuff you could just mail order, was it hard to get, super expensive, etc?
I don't think so, I don't know the exact article they were referencing but it was definitely post-2000. I think something more along the lines of this: https://www.forrester.com/blogs/11-02-17-want_better_quality...

It was a very strawman argument, as if we could only have a 90's style split where QA only did testing, or you could have modern developer testing and no QA.

I think modern dev testing + exploratory testing is the best I've experienced, but it has been challenging to explain that. Software organizations are imperfect places, and sometimes it's hard to push against popular trends.
For those that don't read the article.
They stopped in 2013, so it was worth a lot less than that back then.
Marinetti was also the author of the Futurist Manifesto. The Fascist Manifesto that he co-authored advocates an ideology that is quite different than that practiced by fascist Italy and especially fascist Germany, so was arguably not advocating fascism as we know it today. He also opposed the anti-Jewish racial laws of 1938.

His futurist political beliefs were ultimately silly IMHO, but I don't think it's fair to cast anyone who quotes his futurist writings as a fascist, let alone casting the entire movement in which the person who quoted him plays some prominent role as fascist.
If anyone has some good tech-knowledgeable attorneys that work with individuals or smaller companies this is a great opportunity to promote them. It's hard to find people that are specialized in this sort of thing on a smaller scale and I've been looking for people/firms that can do this.
if authorities stop demanding that everyone takes copies of personal IDs

They're actually considering the opposite for social media.
That's not guaranteed. Really it's a question of incentive structure more than public vs private.

For example there are cases I can point to of poor competition and high costs in NASA picking private companies to do big cost-plus development contracts, and cases where they did fixed-price contract bidding among a larger pool of competitors and got much better results.

npm is easy to use? In my experience npm and the ecosystem that surrounds it are the only package managers I have ever used that consistently don't work, and in terms of design/ease of use in the theoretical scenario of it working properly it's marginally better than pip and significantly worse than cargo and hex.
I just type 'export TERM=xterm' whenever I log onto one of these systems (I use tmux-direct as my $TERM). It seems like Debian 12 has a lot of newer terminfos these days in the default install, and I've tried to upgrade most places I ssh to that. Like our CI system can take a Docker image as the place where your code runs; so instead of using the default one from 2018 or whatever, I just made my own that has all these niceties.

(I use kitty on Mac and Windows Terminal on Windows, but it ends up not mattering because I'm always in tmux, so that's the terminfo that remote machines need. I never bothered setting up 24 bit color though, so I have no idea if that would work with my setup. I switched to TERM=tmux-direct to get italic fonts in Emacs running on Linux inside tmux inside an SSH session from Windows Terminal. It works!)
Why dont I steal when I have the opportunity? Dunno maybe because I'm a decent human being?

This isn't the mass market version of the tech. This iteration is a developer kit that early adopters can also buy.

Apple has always said that they want a version that fits in a glasses style form factor as their mass market product, but the tech wasn't there yet.

> Apple CEO Tim Cook said that it will be a while before the technology available for augmented reality glasses rises to Apple’s standards, according to British Vogue.

“There are rumours and gossip about companies working on that, and we obviously don’t talk about what we work on. But today I can tell you that the technology itself doesn’t exist to do that in a quality way,” Cook told Vogue.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/11/apple-ar-glasses-tim-cook-sa...

They keep iterating on it in-house, and keep finding that the tech still isn't ready.

I think the current plans are to focus on a cheaper version of Vision Pro in the short term.

The parent understands all that, you do not need to repeat what they said themselves.

Times change, so do effects and outcomes. Laws don't have to be fixed for eternity. It would be really dumb if they did. Fortunately a system was designed to update laws in accordance with a dynamic environment.
Seconded. The way to minimize prep time is to set aside a couple hours and make at least one week's worth of meals. The planning and shopping lets you control what kind of food you are eating instead of depending on pre-made pre-processed junk.

That said, Birdseye steam-in-bag vegetables are good quality and ready in 5 minutes flat.
Capital One had per-transaction CC#'s for a bit but eventually just went to a single "virtual card" number.
Oof. I'm tolerant of a lot of "broken stuff" in software (I've run ARM SBCs as desktops for quite a few years, though I'm off that because QubesOS doesn't work on ARM yet), but that's an impressive pile of "almost, but not quite, sort of barely working."

Unfortunately, stuff like this is a dealbreaker for me:

> The bad news is that currently the Pinephone Pro picks up your audio as if you're talking underwater (that's what I'm told I sound like) and the receiving end gets an echo on their own voice. It works, but it's quite the bad quality.

I've set personal limits on my "phone experimentation" that I can't irritate other people too terribly badly. For me, this means "Voice calls have to work and be understandable," and "I have to be able to interact with MMS based group text chats" - and I've briefly used some devices that I stopped using because it wasn't able to meet these requirements. I can work around just about everything else, be less contactable, etc, but if I'm going to have a phone number, raw basic "voice, SMS, and MMS" have to be working.

> But apart from that, it performs excellent as a smart device. There is a host of awesome apps that provide the usual smartphone services, like train and plane tickets and travel routes, calender functions, weather, podcasts, etc.

You shouldn't need a smart device for any of that stuff, though. I've mostly "gone back to paper" - I don't carry a smartphone anymore (even though I was very into them for quite a few years), and I'm able to be a bit pointed when places don't consider the possibility that someone doesn't have a smartphone *. I don't want to live in a world in which "everyone must have a smartphone or they can't participate in modern life," and I see fighting against that best accomplished by "not having a smartphone" - as opposed to trying to find a somewhat less-evil device that can do most of what you want a smartphone to do. Been there, tried that, realized I was spending most of my CPU cycles building kernels and software so I could try to debug yet another weird issue...

Besides, I get about two weeks of battery life on my flip phone. ;)

EDIT:
*: To expand a bit, "have a smartphone and be willing to install whatever apps they ask you to." In terms of practical technical outcome, "I have a device that can install apps and refuse to do so" is the same as "I don't have a device that can do this." But from a human interaction perspective, the first is often enough perceived as just being a jerk, whereas the second typically gets a bit more of a baffled response - I think there are quite a few people who genuinely don't realize that there are non-smart-phones still in use, because their entire social circle has them. The second opens up a more productive conversation in my experience.
Because the covid outrage industry has gotten boring. It used to be about how we were going to be forced to stay home forever, then it was about how we'd be forced to wear masks forever, and now that that stuff didn't come to pass it's fizzling out as the people who still have a chip on their shoulder need to find some passive aggressive way to be outraged and oppressed.
Pretty much every bar in Berlin allows smoking indoors. A ton of stuff here isn't policed because it's not typically a problem.

Exactly. Is cheese good or bad? What about eggs? Are beans bad? How much fish can I eat before I get mercury poisoning? Is pork better than beef?

I'm attracted to the idea of the mediterranean diet, but getting enough produce for the week and using it before it goes bad, while also cooking for small children, is challenging.
Thou it would be worse without a jester
Its cliche because its true. In a certain sense its not all that surprising: execs hang oit with other execs. They go to the same sports games, vacation at the same spots, attend conferences etc.
This is the first time I've seen the claim, and given the lack of substantiation, I'll dismiss it.

IMO microscopes wouldn't be very definitive. I'd suspect they have some magnification capabilities to some extent, even for geology analysis,
For microbial life, getting chemical signatures would be much more valuable. They appear to have a mass spec. GC and laser spectrometer suite that can do some of that usefully. https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/spacecraft/instruments/sam/

IMO, the idea of NASA sandbagging on finding life is silly. It's like Pharma hiding the cure for cancer. there are real people in those organizations and that type of insanity wouldn't stay secret for long. (note to anyone replying I will not discuss/argue this stuff on this board, as it won't go anywhere productively.)
Even if they analysed slack+chime log activity. I guess they’ll explain it away with something like “working from office significantly reduces the need for online chatter”.
This is a cool deep dive into terminal standards and their footguns but... not sure why?

Unless you're showing pictures in your terminal, why would you want true color and the overhead that introduces? If you're just doing a status bar on a black background, your eye won't really see the difference between FF0000 and FF1515 (which I picked because the next 16 bit color is FF3333 which you can already barely tell the difference from).

I'm just saying I'm not sure I would want that much color choice, it would just give me anxiety about picking the right color!
An old joke: Q: What's the difference between a contractor and a permie? A: The contractor KNOWS they have no job security. IMHO after working years in tech - your only real job security is your skillset. OTOH, working in public sector can be quite secure, and a good idea while kids are growing up.
Another approach was basically a speaker connected to a carbon microphone, which compressed loosely packed carbon granules to change its resistance. They were used as repeaters in long distance telephone lines as early as 1904:

AI's rise is having an enormous environmental impact
What I do is buy a smart TV, never connect it to the network (thus making it a dumb TV), and plug an Apple TV (or other devices) into it. So far, this has worked - I haven't seen any ads from the TV itself (the apps running on the Apple TV are another story), and it can't phone home about what I'm watching or otherwise doing with the TV.
In the year 2525, if man is still alive, if woman can survive, they may find... Someone using the PinePhone Pro as a daily driver.
There have been some high profile cases of people standing up to similar scams, including Bezos. It (standing up to bullies - edit: extortionists is a better characterization than bully) is commendable behvaior and needs to be better publicized as such, hopefully it will make some people feel more comfortable doing the same.
I haven't used VR/AR in a while, so I don't know if I should have expected this, but those black borders seem pretty large, and I think Apple made it seem the field of vision is much larger than it really is.

The Verge hit the nail on the head with hand gestures. The input device is critical for a new computing platform. This is too awkward to be something you do all day.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the most returned Apple product.
So many comments here about how C&D don't have teeth and suggesting ignoring them. That might generally be the case, but the article here specifically talks about losing your account on the tech company's service as the main thing they are concerned about.
It’s not so clear cut. If I stay at my RTO job for a few more years, I can probably retire at 35-40, versus taking a pay cut and retiring sometime in my late 50s. I’d say that’s worth the commute.
One Iranian and Two Canadian Nationals Indicted in Murder-for-Hire Scheme
I work at Ubicloud.

Although we have a KEK and DEK code for regular VMs, they are not operative on GHA...yet. The reason has to do with a technical conflict with copy-on-write we aim to close, not least of which because Ubicloud needs to grow its own copy-on-write features for block device snapshots, things we lack today.

I expect within a few months, all expired GHA vms will be cryptoshredded upon their deletion. This is already true for regular virtual machines or managed postgres machines.
I did some more digging just now since this was bugging me so much. Behavior persisted after restarting firefox.

Under firefox settings/site permissions the microphone is "Blocked by Android"

So I decided to double check my android settings, and was greeted by some splash page explaining what the permissions settings page was for. (Perhaps this page appeared after a recent update?)

After clearing the page I see Firefox microphone permissions sitting in the "ask every time" catagory. Im 100% sure i did not get asked or give permission for microphone usage.

I go back to Firefox and YouTube no longer accesses my microphone when playing a video. The only variable I can think of was clearing that splash page. Mysterious. :)
> If I need much longer to run a marathon than an athlete, is that because my body is not doing the same things as the athlete, or just because it's doing all the same things but doing them worse?

If it's because you have to generate the concept of legs from observing other people run marathons before emitting a digital facismile of a race, I think we can be confident you're not doing the same thing as the other athletes.

How do you learn what these things are? What do "consonance and dissonance" mean in terms of why they make you feel the way they do, and why can't an AI learn those things from examples? The qualia, that AI hopefully doesn't have but we can't tell because we don't have a test for that?

Consonance and dissonance are physical properties of sound resonating in our ears, our emotional reactions involve observable physiological reactions like dopamine release and I think we can confidently reject the premise that a static model of relationships between wav files which instantaneously generates another wav file is doing the same thing

Nobody is arguing musical fashions don't exist, because they do, they're arguing that AI unambiguously does not "listen" to music and a human performer unambiguously isn't even capable of outputting a mathematical translation of all the sound files they've absorbed, never mind solely doing that like a large model trained on other people's music [and text]
I've spent over a minute after finding on HN there's something more than just discord invitation trying to find where any clue is. Like, you know, playing notpron. Tried clicking on different icons, then the footer, literally nothing. Finally, I scrolled. Not sure if it's my resolution+scaling or what, but with nowadays' bare visible scrollbars, there was a map with some tiles and coins on the right, and just some gray empty space after. As I believe 4k 150% is quite standard, there's no surprise some people may get confused.

Specifically with handwashing which is a problem I have been very successful at solving, time is not the main factor. It is wear and tear on the hands and this comes down to the soap used and water quality, really. If you get those too things right people mostly find it no problem to wash their hands when appropriate. Also for non-medical people this is not washing your hands before surgery washing, this is routine washing between patients, bathrooms, and duties.

Regarding gloves, gloves don't solve disease transmission from dirty hands. You need both hand washing and gloves.

From some stories, depending on the area, the management at Apple reached "horrible shitshow" levels that abused a lot of other reasons people stayed in the job.

I still don't understand. Even if you are off about density, aren't you studying the differences in density, so that the image you generate would still be showing where those differences are located relative to each other -- even if scale might be somewhat off if you have your base density off? It doesn't seem like it would be abject failure, but more like incrementally less useful. It sounds like you are saying it is almost at abject failure on the scale of usefulness.

I think the bad guy extortionist should be held accountable but if Instagram cannot identify them then Instagram should be held accountable. These platforms need more traceability.

If Instagram were liable for anon bad actors illegal behavior then Instagram would clean up their act with a quickness. There is no incentive to fix anything on these platforms with the current rules.

This isn't any more evidence. But the fact that I'm currently logged in, working, is evidence that you're not on the right track. And yes, I did post on Hacker News when I was working in the office.
The internal details of libc are not leaking in the case under discussion.

libc wraps system calls. If you use libc and try to make your own system calls, you're going to collide with internal details of libc.

Not using libc is fine. Not making your own system calls via asm is fine. Pick one.

So the company getting hacked isn't to blame?

Thats like blaming your employer if the background check company gets hacked.

Companies have standards, they use other companies to assess those standards, the blame is on those companies who were compromised.

Unless your employer knew they were picking a known vulnerable vendor, you're just looking for outrage at covid testing.
Economics matter. People can value a lot of things, but if there's too few of them, then the market won't bother catering to them. See small smartphones.

How do you know that no one can measure ?

Maybe all the big companies have measured and all concluded that on average WFH is less productive.

Individual productivity of office workers is nearly impossible to properly measure but aggregate productivity is easier though certainly far from perfect.
It can’t prevent it, but if they do, it could forbid them from selling stuff in the UK, fine their UK branch, jail their personnel, arrest Tim Cook when he sets foot on UK soil, send out a request to arrest him to Interpol, even (but that’s not likely) send their marines to Cupertino to arrest Apple’s entire management team (cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Pr... for an example where a country legalized invading a friendly country under certain circumstances)

That could be enough of a deterrent for Apple.
