Cell phone identifiers (both IMEI and IMSI) are easily and cheaply rotated for privacy. Car VINs are not.

Also, VINs and number plates are linked to (someone’s) strong government ID. Mobile phone IMEIs and mobile plan IMSIs are not; both can be obtained anonymously for cash, and given away or traded without a trace.
While subvocal is cool and would allow for speech in more places, something that’s earlier on the tech tree and that I would like to see is just robust lipreading.

I already am comfortable talking to my phone quietly using my AirPods while looking at my screen, but it seems like in loud public places the accuracy becomes unusable. I imagine it could be easily recovered by the additional signal of lipreading.

The Aztec Empire fell in 1521, but of course its people didn't disappear. If the codices date after 1603, that's plenty of time for the Spanish to influence their lives, even without full absorption.

That San Andrés Tetepilco has a partly-Spanish name now doesn't necessarily imply that Spaniards had a role in its founding or lived there in significant numbers at the time the codices were written. The church might have been founded by a Spanish missionary, but it might also have been an Aztec convert instead. The history apparently also covers events that happened under Spanish rule, so it's not entirely about a non-Spanish topic either.

This seems only useful to people who once had a voice, then lost their voice. Because only this way, would they have a unified mapping of voice cord movements to actual voices. Deaf and mutes can't really use this.

It also basically mandates a patch to your throat, because no way of detecting vibrations otherwise.

I wonder if there are visual based ways, like sign->text, expression->text, that would benefit from the larger developments in LLMs. Like an LLM that has access to your conversation history, so when you give your smartphone camera a hand sign and a smile, it can guess and output an entire intended speech.

Work at ignoring more of the major sites on a daily basis.

Don’t look at the bar of success as being visitors and impressions, just do you. Share what you’re passionate about, tend that garden for its own awesomeness (and back it up;).

Build connections to others with shared interest, and who are also contributing to the Internet you wish existed.

The internet kind of sucks now because everything must be huge or die, if it doesn’t “hit” it’s considered a waste of time. That is not the Internet I was captivated by in the nineties.

The bigger issue is that helium is a functionally finite resource, and does not remain in the atmosphere (at least IIRC it literally just floats up until it gets blown into space).

The bigger local issue you run into with liquid helium and liquid nitrogen is having it evaporate in an enclosed space. You can "easily" create an environment leading to inert gas suffocation (a real hazard in some industrial cases) - in reality any simple case like this is unlikely to be using enough of N or He, and is unlikely to be sufficiently enclosed, but in principle it would be possible - maybe if you were in a basement and spilled an inexplicably large thermos of them it could do it.

It is not an either or. Best thing average jo can do is auto set up to overpay their tax efficient retirement vehicle, make sure said vehicle is an index of US share or perhaps an international mix with a decent US weight, and buy a residence somewhere there is and probably will be high demand. So NYC, London etc. (due diligence assumed)

With that you can spend all you earn, you will be forced to save a bit naturally due to mortgage repayments and the retirement setup and you have

invest more.

The streamer featured in TFA, ThaBeast721, said that he and some other high profile streamers playing the level were contacted by the maker, whom many in the community knew prior and so there was chat history to authenticate the claim, and shown a video of the device breaking the level.

Thab described the device as a “raspberry pi or arduino type device hooked up to an actual controller somehow”

When the clear video failed to go viral the maker dropped the gag, and forgot about it until recently, because the device was a pain to use anyway.

The maker said it took 3 months to upload the level. Something about the device causing the console to crash when programming the inputs.

Sure, but will those bad actors be poking around in your network at the same time as you've got an unpatched vulnerability in Kubernetes? Or will it just be the 1000s of Internet scanners and botnets looking to exploit it?

> There is no such thing as a "private" network that is magically more secure than the internet

Obviously there is, although it's not magic. I could equally say "There is no such thing as a 'private' key that is magically more secure than nothing".

This bit is true. But just because you trust it doesn't mean it needs to be exposed.

it could. It could not. I imagine the data is out there to determine it, but not enough of it is in the article nor any of its links to form an analysis.

But this admitedly isn't a statistics 101 problem , between taking into account inflation, local and record fluctuations, expected pandemic impacts, the PPP/interest rates and more affecting the result, etc.

>One could also reasonably correlate the higher profits with people eating in more (since restaurants were mostly closed) but that doesn't set off the dog whistles.

It'd be pretty easy to support/weaken that evidence if we just look at food delivery services. less people eating in doesn't mean less people ordered out.

I don't know why you're being so cynical about the government doing its job for once and investigating potential greed. Worse case, nothing happens and life moves on, best case we get better grocery prices in the future. I don't see the downside as a consumer.

> GENEVA (7 June 2021) - UN human rights experts* said today they were deeply concerned by the continuous devastating impact on a local community of a dumping of toxic waste by a Swedish company in the northern Chilean city of Arica nearly 40 years ago.

> The toxic waste - which remains outdoors, uncovered and exposed to nature’s elements - poses a health and security risk given its high content of arsenic, including to drinking water systems.

> “The residents of Arica continue to suffer serious health problems caused by the waste dump,” the experts said. “The community has been denied access to justice for years, received little or no remediation, and even today those in need of medical care are ignored.

I feel so sorry for those people. That's just unconscionable.
I understand this. But most people do not, and will buy the most recent one and wait two or more years before buying the next one. They buy the most recent one, aka the most expensive one, because they believe (correctly) it will last them the longest. But the price changing doesn’t affect their decision.

Yep, optional range checks and a variety of other compiler defines to accommodate programmers coming from a C background who preferred to disregard compile time checks in the name of speed of execution. So sure, you can still to this day make pascal act like C. You even get comment delimiters. Kind of adds credence to the influence of C that I'm suggesting.

Wirth languages are about constraints. For instance, when I started writing code in TSM2 and Stonybrook, my general impression was that they both emitted 10-30% more compile time bugs than BP did. If that's too much of a hassle for C programmers, well ok.

Also to add, all the wordiness of Wirth languages, the block delimiters, yes I get it. But all this stuff is just another constraint for sake of correctness. M2, being case sensitive, is even worse about this than Pascal. But the point is to make you look at your code more than once, to proofread it and think about what's going on, because the syntax screams at you a little bit. Of course, with compiler defines, you can turn pascal into C and assume the responsibility for yourself. That's what runtime debuggers are for anyway, yes?

Ok, whatever, but we're missing the point that Wirth was trying to get across, which is to turn the language itself into implicit TDD, starting with first line of code written. C/++ may give you speed, but for the average programmer, all that speed is taken back in the end, due to maintenance costs. IMO, M2 was even better at shifting maintenance costs left of what the C tack did than pascal in the value delivery stream.

Sure, mission critical code can be written even in C/++. Most of SpaceX's code is a C++ codebase. So how did they pull that off? IMO, what they did was write C in the spirit of what Wirth was trying to accomplish. For the sake of maintenance costs, speed is now less of a metric thanks to hardware advances, and correctness is far more of an issue. Which makes sense, because all business is mission critical now and all business runs on more and more software. Would you turn off bounds checks in the compiler now? How about for the programmer who you'll never meet who is writing autonomous driver code for the car you drive?

Way too much money was wasted on the near-sighted value of C. Time to move on, according to Rust developers, who undoubtedly have an impressive background as C/++ programmers. So yeah we all have to follow this C dominated narrative even today, and my charge is, this narrative has retarded the art of programming. So I stick to my original proposition: Whatever you think is great about Rust, like ownership and borrowing, would have been available in production M2 code 20 years ago if we had just given Wirth languages a chance to advance the art in the commercial world. But that narrative would have been too wordy and constraining.
Same in a lot of developing countries. I'm in the Philippines right now and I've seen this not only here, but in other SE Asian countries.

> Monopolies and monopolistic practices are flatly illegal.

You are mistaken.

Section 2 of the Sherman Act makes it unlawful for a company to "monopolize, or attempt to monopolize," trade or commerce. As that law has been interpreted, it is not illegal for a company to have a monopoly, to charge "high prices," or to try to achieve a monopoly position by what might be viewed by some as particularly aggressive methods. The law is violated only if the company tries to maintain or acquire a monopoly through unreasonable methods. For the courts, a key factor in determining what is unreasonable is whether the practice has a legitimate business justification.

This is true and easily observable everywhere, even in advertising.
