If you want an excellent reference using Wi-Fi for long distance coverage plese check this book, but it's a bit dated and out-of-print now:

Deploying License-Free Wireless Wide-Area Networks:

https://www.ciscopress.com/store/deploying-license-free-wire...

For long distance terrestrial wireless communication on sub GHz wireless frequency, now people normally use Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) solutions like LoRa, SigFox or ELTRES, but SigFox has been out of business, and ELTRES being Sony mainly limited to Japan at the moment. That leaves majority of the LPWAN installation based on LoRa.

LoRa however is not without its problem namely the spreading factor (SF) between 8 and 12 limitations, if you want to go further you really want to use the highest SF but the bandwidth goes down exponentially and instead of Kbps you have merely lowest bits/bytes speed transmission even with clear Line-of-Sight (LoS). We have tested LoRa transmission over the sea (island to mainland) and it even works for more than 20 km. That's OK if you have only IoT systems where the job is turning some remote switch or relay to be on or off.

There is a real need for efficient low power higher bandwidth transmission (Mbps range not Kbps) and this how HaLow by IEEE as inside this post come into the picture, and another cellular based Reduced Capability (RedCap) standardized in 5G release 17 standard by competing organization 3GPP. These new standards has more higher bandwidth than the existing LoRa and existing 4G/5G standards for examples NB-IoT and LTE-M but the facts the latter standards use existing 4G/5G infrastructure is a big plus and the latest RedCap standard want to capitalize on that.
My step father was diagnosed with metastasized melanoma in 2019, and was completely cured by treatments developed by professors Scolyer and Long.

He needed surgery to remove small tumors on his lungs, but the drugs made his melanoma just disappear.

He was very lucky. Not only because he was offered to take part in a trial, but also because only a small number of patients had complete success stories like his.

The link below is to a very similar case from the same trial:

Looking at the UIs for early Macintosh vs. Amiga Workbench it feels like Amiga didn't put much thought into aesthetics. Just look at the color scheme they chose for the desktop UI:

https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/amigaos10

It seems they had at least 64 colors to choose from and they went with... Orange and white on blue? They also decided icons should be able to be arbitrary sizes for some reason, a feature I haven't seen in other GUIs.

Here's workbench 2.0, which is better but still pretty unappealing.

Scrolling through I thought "wait, that one doesn't look too bad" and then realized I was looking at a screenshot from Windows.
Yes—usually it's better to post follow-up links in the related ongoing thread, so the discussion doesn't get split.

> I think that is at least in part a highbrow post-justification

I think that the ability to record people without them knowing it is quite literally what people said was the main point of contention with Google Glass.

> If you see someone wearing Google Glass wink at you, you might want to get out of the way because they're probably not flirting with you.

A new app that's just been developed and released for the futuristic piece of technology lets users take a photo by simply winking an eye.

From the outside, unironically calling any group of politicians "fathers" feels so weird. I know it's a super common turn of phrase, and that's kinda what gets me.

> Human beings generally want to feel like they're doing more good than bad

We're experts at convincing ourself that what is beneficial to us is also "good", whatever this actually means.
You probably want to read Nelson 2017 cited in this post link to understand how more complicated tnan that the situation is.

As in outsider of the auto industry this sounds like a classic blame-the-customer attitude that exists in many industries. The auto industry attributes the increase of severity and frequency of auto accidents to an external party so they share zero liability.
Adding a few intercity links is good, but it's far easier than restructuring metro areas to facilitate public transit and pedestrians rather than cars.

I know that some (higher priced) insurers offer much better service and less hassle in the event of an issue.
I do not have enough experience to speak to this, but I have heard others in the auto repair industry complain about how insurers like Progressive are very cheap about replacement parts for damaged vehicles - opting for the lowest cost parts no matter the quality, instead of paying more for OEM parts. That might help account for some of the differences in cost between providers.

That depends how much alternative space there is in the ecosystem. Just because the species could evolve together in an entire wilderness doesn’t mean they can co-exist in every square kilometer.
Absolutely, I had a near-death experience myself.
I feel like all sane people are with you here mate. Its insane.

Been using esp32-rs recently (esp32 is an admittedly beefy platform/soc) and its been real pleasant.
There is little evidence of that.

But there is a ton of evidence that eating more fibers does help. And this should be favored before any random supplement of more often that not dubious quality.
> That might be cool from a space opera point of view but it'd probably end up being dominated by a space fascist enslaving everyone.

Fascism already barely works on earth, and gets out-competed. See https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FascistButIneffi... Similarly with slavery. (See https://www.econlib.org/library/Columns/LevyPeartdismal.html to go off an slight tangent.)

In space, slavery is even less useful. That's mostly because humans are even less useful: we are already doing pretty much all of our useful space exploration with robots, and sending humans is just for bragging rights. Keeping space slaves alive costs you more than they ever could conceivably do for you.

Of course, aliens might have biologies that are much better adapted to surviving in space, maybe?
Windows 95 also came close to killing the Mac. Before then the difference between Windows and MacOS was so striking that it was obvious that anyone who really wanted a GUI interface would go for a Mac. But then the advantage became much less strong. If Jobs hadn't come back and brought NextStep, which becane OSX, I think the Mac would have gone the way of the Amiga.
Yes, probably only relevant to 80% of his potential readers. What tosh!
I really doubt that is the issue. As always, the main factors are speed, weight (of the vehicle) and intoxication.
Regional newspapers also by definition have a geographically restricted market. That worked well when there were geographical restrictions to distribution (printing and delivering newspapers), but less well in our modern age. NYT et al have found success by appealing to pivoting to larger national and international audiences.
Since it doesn't have a headphone jack (as far as I know) this is actually still a problem since you have to wear wireless earbuds with it, if you don't want other people to hear it.
In the case of this author it was both, they made up and reused content.
I was once told "You're in the human wastebasket now" as I was put in a "bucket" of neuropathy. After 10 years this was refined to "Right Brachial Plexopathy with neuropathia, exhibiting as atypical Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type II". This is no more helpful than "neuropathy" most of the time.

I'm still in the neuropathy bucket. Haven't bothered trying to take opiods for my chronic pain for years, because only fentanyl works.

Bucket diagnoses are better than the uncertainty of "WTF is wrong with me".
That color scheme was allegedly picked for visibility on very low-end TV sets. (The Amiga palette colors could be chosen arbitrarily from 4-bits per channel RGB, so that wasn't a constraint.)

(The icons weren't just arbitrary sized, they could have different pictures for the selected and unselected state. You see this with the open vs. closed drawer icons (drawers are like "folders" in other OS's) but many app icons also used this effect.)
Having a device suddenly turn off can be an issue even with an internal battery. This should be something anyone using Vision Pro keeps in mind. And by that I mean don’t go driving in it, or model Casey Neistat and wear it while riding an electric skateboard in the middle of NYC streets. In normal situations, sitting in your home or on a plane, having it go black isn’t a big deal. Just take it off.

This is where AR will really shine, if/when we ever see true AR with similar image quality. Then if it turns off, it comes glasses and not a blindfold.
That's definitely not even close to reality.

National Socialism and Italian Fascism were all about the strong taking responsibility for the nation, in a philosophical sense.

These were social welfare states that provided for the "people" far more than modern American liberalism (the standard operating produre for free economies of scale in the modern world), for example.

Now, obviously I'm not saying this was a good system, but you're so far off base that it's ridiculous.

The discourse around this complex historical movement is profoundly anti-intellectual. I know this because I grew up in the same society you did, the one where I also learned and used fascist as a pejorative without any further information.

Now, as someone interested in having sophisticated ideas about systems, I'm not really in a mental state where I'm going to take appeals or emotion or shortcuts that shut down thought seriously. Regardless of the context, I still want to try and reflect reality as closely as possible in my minds eye.

How many liberal, or even communist thinkers have you read? Personally, countless. As for fascists, almost none. It's a taboo, the works aren't translated, etc -- but it's there, and has intellectual underpinning that is more complex than mindlessly calling people you don't like "fascists".

This can't be conscionable to any earnest intellectual. Imagine sitting here and tolerating people pejoratively calling people "communists". It's so stupid.

Edit: I get in trouble here because there's something really interesting going on with controversial topics: all you need to do is make a choice and your model of reality is much more accurate than the presented model of reality. It's the easiest way to take Ws out of discourse, nobody has good ideas when the id has the reins.
Not once you control for risk, though. "When you get away with it" is a big assumption.
Most CEOs do drugs, even small companies, not trying to normalize it but it’s sad seeing how they turn their lives into that.
I hate driving around at night because of that. Feels like everyone in town has them and I am just constantly driving blind because of them.
The article we're discussing explains that the literature on curcumin is effectively poisoned, because Aggarwal has published so many widely-cited papers.

The paper you've posted directly cites Aggarwal five times. Most of the references that aren't by Aggarwal cite him. The entire literature on curcumin is a house of cards built on fraudulent research.
Yup, that was the exact one I had in mind!
Had the same t-shirt with the barcode readable source code on it. I think prompted by seeing Greg Rose wear one, may have gotten it from him/mutual friends. As an foreign citizen I was never brave enough to wear it through a USA entry airport.

It is because it’s dependent on people signing up to a service successfully.*

What i was unemployed last year I experienced what I already had seen other friends experience: the whole unemployment system is designed to prevent you from using it and if you work remotely it’s even harder as you have to file twice and maybe they accept you.

I’ve also noticed this consistently in recent years.

Literally cannot drive 10 minutes without encountering a vehicle with high beams on (can tell by the location, not brightness alone). I’m talking about busy urban areas, not the boonies.

This happens far more often than cars with no headlights (which used to be more common).

At first I thought this was some sort of signal for drugs/etc. Of course that makes little sense…

However, in reality it’s probably worse than that…

You should do both. With employers tightening up hiring and hundreds of thousands of tech people laid off, you need both focus and flexibility.

Presumably you can’t switch to remote at your current job.

Referrals and inside tracks (usually through recruiters) work better than applying to hundreds of jobs along with everyone else. Start with your professional network and contacts.
> However, unlike Google Glass, modern smartphones play a "camera shutter" sound to at least give some indication that they are capturing an image to the people around you.

I mean, they mostly don't. They do in Japan (maybe Korea too?) but otherwise you can mute it.
I could use something like this for large Java projects.
There's troposcatter...bouncing off the troposphere. That's been around with microwave transmission for quite a long time. Requires a little more power though.
Maybe. But you still have to explain the observation that the night sky is empty of signs of life.

Keep in mind that human technology is pretty close to being good enough to detect not just foreign civilisations (via eg radio waves), but signs of life itself: studying the spectra of light reflected by exoplanets can tell you what chemical elements are in their atmosphere, so you can detect atmospheres that are far from chemical equilibrium, like earth's oxygen rich one.

We emitted radio waves for only a few decades. But earth had oxygen for billions of years. So that widens the window of time of development that we could detect.
Gender?
Not really my thing, although I respect others right to make their own choices.

Being up at 1am after a full day makes for about the same mental state though.
That's why we typically only talk about the observable universe, which is very much finite.
These things are fun to imagine, but the real fun gets to be when you start talking about all the downstream effects. For example, if you can't build rockets you can't build GPS. Building a global communication system is much harder, which means things like shipping and flying are much more difficult. Not to mention that the gravity is much higher in the first place so flying is going to require way more fuel so how long does it take for them to get to that stage of civilization and how does their technological path differ? It gets even trickier once you start thinking about how the atmospheric composition will be different as gases follow similar escape velocities (e.g. Earth loses 3kg H/s but only 50g He/s) and it also determines what can even stay aloft. In general much of the technological paths are fairly straight forward, always iterating off of the current state (leaps and bounds are not common as they're more often a lack of domain expertise or not properly contextualized around the historical knowledge). But I think people forget how connected a lot of these things are. Then again, people often question why it is important that we build rockets, while asking those questions on their handheld computer connected to a global communication network. It's quite incredible how complex these interaction chains actually are and I think make you only admire the beautify of it all that much more.
As a former chemist, I thought this book was a great example of "applied chemistry".

The theoretical aspects are challenging enough. But then you realize just how difficult the practical application of the theory can be. Sure, a mixture of fuming nitric acid and hydrazine will produce enough propulsion, but how do you dump tons of it into an engine without it just exploding?
And a rational insurance program would not keep insuring the same property over and over as it gets destroyed.
That's a stronger definition, but it's still weak because it isn't primary source material. This guy isn't a disinterested political historian. Imagine taking as definition the views of Giovanni Gentile on Marxism.

I wouldn't call any of these groups "fascist" except in the loose pejorative sense

The closest governments to actual Fascism that I can think of are governments like modern China or even Singapore, and I don't mean that in a pejorative sense. They're just very fascist in character, i.e. national interest, social welfare, strong-arming of capital, etc.
It's standard protocol to take part in cancer trials after cancer stops responding to all approved treatments. Of course this article is different from organized trials.

By 1994 you could get a clone 486 for cheap that could run Doom just fine and the games market rapidly shifted to developing for PC first. The hype for Windows 95 was spinning up, RAM prices were dropping and Pentiums were becoming more affordable. Once Doom released, there was little reason to get an Amiga for games, it's not unfair to say it killed it.

Amiga maybe had a couple final years of relevance as a super budget workstation in 1993/94, but Doom was developed on fancy NeXT workstations. Then id's follow-up, one of the most technically cutting edge games of it's generation, was developed on Windows 95.

That kinda says it all about the PC's rapid ascent during the 90s.
Well, I do now. I'm hungry.

Do you mean accessibility? I did notice disappointing non-native-like behaviours when I tried typing in an AvaloniaUI textbox but I'm hopeful they will manage to solve that and other issues.

For example, pressing a space will always introduce a new item in the undo/redo history [0] which isn't how native textboxes work.

Stupid question: why didn't they replace the 6800 with the newer Intel chips? Was it "just" (huge understatement, I know) because they'd need to port or break software due to the new arch? I guess my question is if their multi coprocessor architecture could've worked with a better, stronger main processor like Intel's?
No thanks, google and facebook should be the first big tech companies to die, and for good.

State run car insurance monopolies exist. Check out BC Canada. As a customer, it’s slightly more than I was paying in the US, but less than I would pay in neighboring provinces. There are some weirdnesses (have to renew/sign up in person through a private agent) and concessions to politics (insurance agents as mentioned, and senior citizens are guaranteed a discount regardless of risk profile).

It works, but it isn’t leaps and bounds better. It’s still possible for an accident that you aren’t at fault for to absolutely ruin your financial life.
That and there are two major chips, the R1 and M2, acting as distinct heat sources. I don't know if they would spin the fans up and down independently, but the two chips' heat output could differ over time.

The sine wave thing is technically true, but if you try it in practice, as I did extensively in a college acoustics course, you’ll find that making even a decent approximation of a square or a saw wave requires sine waves at many multiples of the upper threshold of human hearing. You need those insanely high overtones to produce sharp “corners” in the wave form.
