The original RealAudio was the only tech that allowed me to listen to online radio over a 14.4k modem. It was all very impressive, if you didn't care about sound quality.

We have always had a cognitive bias towards believing glib explanations. We just hold AIs to a higher standard than we do actual human beings. The bias is particularly biased towards attractive individuals we want agree with (so they like us more).
No, the issue is that the language you are quoting is a gross misstatement of what the EPA actually did.

They clarified the definition of "new use", but PFAS was already covered by the "new use" as defined in the statute.

Ergo, judicial perjury.
It sounds like you're describing why they have a monopoly. If you want to argue that they don't have one, you would need to point at an alternative with even remotely equivalent content. (Edit: Even a paid alternative would be interesting; last time I looked Nebula only served a tiny subset of equivalent content)

(There is perhaps an interesting discussion to be had in how they got/keep that monopoly; certainly I'm open to users not wanting to pay being a factor, but that seems like it would quickly devolve into "well Google dumped an absurd amount of money into them, killing off even the possibility of competitors" which is... even worse, in terms of being an unnatural monopoly)
On the other hand Lynch has always been a bit of a troll, and despite his aloofness he is aware of his own celebrity. I could see this chair being a way of saying "yes this exhibition is by that David Lynch, the filmmaker."
You can’t have higher prosperity in the bottom deciles and unlimited supply of unskilled labor at the same time. If you think you can, do please enlighten us through what mechanism that could be achieved.
I suggest watching some of the videos to pull yourself back into reality a bit. Body cam watch, code blue cam, police activity, etc., there are a whole bunch of channels that just post public body cam footage.

The overwhelming majority of people doing blatantly dumb illegal shit don't just put their hands behind their back and say "you got me!" when the cops show up.

They really genuinely believe they can convince the cops that the hammer they threw in the bushes wasn't being used to smash car windows, and all the shit in their pocket wasn't stolen from the cars with smashed windows all around them. And then they physically fight the cops, lose, and say they are suffocating and need to go to the hospital.

I totally get that there are videos of cops being evil. I wager I have seen more of them than you, since they get tons of views and attention on body cam channels. But I will also wager that you have no idea how dumb and childish the average criminal is. There are 100,000 normal police encounter videos of police dealing with total idiots for every 1 evil cop needlessly killing someone video. You just have 0 exposure to them.
The entire speech is a great read, especially if you happen to be the type of American that the PM is referring to, fatigued, et al.

Heh. If you tune into the AM band you'll hear plenty of guys "discuss race." It'll make you fear for the species, but still.
My post contains several concrete proposals.
Well, I like deep fried potatoes, that's why I included it. I actually do deep fry my potatoes, straining the oil, re-using it, and ultimately recycling it. None of the alternatives are acceptable to me in terms of flavor or texture.
Could you explain in more detail why you think that cooking potatoes not in oil makes it not junk food? (in the sense of, I've looked at a wide range of comparisons and it does not seem like frying in oil magically turns healthy potatoes into cancer daemons).

It takes me about 7 minutes to fry a hamburger patty on my Griddle (to rare!), ignoring the heat-up time and clean-up time. The actual cooking is quite fast. On the other hand, I can end up waiting an hour in line at In-and-Out. So while I agree that it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, the economics articles I've seen that compare bsed on fully loaded costs (to the best that they can) seem to conclude that fast food can be about 10-20% cheaper than grocery.
Sometimes. I stumbled across somebody’s 20+-year-old collection of deep musical analyses of early Chicago songs. That same material on Twitter/Facebook/Discord/whatever is going to be inaccessible.

Patents also block people from coming up with the same design independently. In addition you've got patent trolls who will gladly shake you down but who have no desire to use their patents productively themselves. Patent law turns the simple mechanics of designing a good product into a mess that involves lawyers and other gatekeepers. This benefits incumbents and makes the market inaccessible for upstarts.

I don't believe businesses deserve protection from competition. Not even when they've done meaningful original research. Society wins when people with the ability to bring a better product to market are legally allowed to do so.
Eh, I think that game definitely needed a bit more play-testing polishing. More than once I got stuck and had to look up a hint. Only to discover that I actually had attempted the correct solution, but the mechanics were so clunky I was mislead into believing I was doing something stupid.
It is really a post about software dogma.

GOTOs are just one of the oldest ones, but these days, for example, we have polymorphism, and OO, in general, and, for some folks, anything that is \(!$HOLY_MANNA) is bad.

In my work, I tend to mix brand-new techniques with very old ones (probably older than some of the folks reading these words of prose).

Writing Solid Code was written in 1992. Many of its techniques have been integrated into toolchains, some are outdated, and some are still every bit as valid, today, as they were, then.

I will say that reading it was a watershed, for me.
> There is a theory that Lynch himself doesn’t always know what is going on in his stories. He shoots this down. “I need to know for myself what things mean and what’s going on. Sometimes I get ideas, and I don’t know exactly what they mean. So I think about it, and try to figure it out, so I have an answer for myself.”

> Audiences, however, must do their own figuring out. “I don’t ever explain it. Because it’s not a word thing. It would reduce it, make it smaller.” These days he rarely gives interviews, not even during the hugely hyped return of Twin Peaks last year – a show that is still debated as either the best or worst TV of 2017. “When you finish anything, people want you to then talk about it. And I think it’s almost like a crime,” he explains. “A film or a painting – each thing is its own sort of language and it’s not right to try to say the same thing in words. The words are not there. The language of film, cinema, is the language it was put into, and the English language – it’s not going to translate. It’s going to lose.”

When one agrees with content they are much more likely to say it sounds non-partisan, middle ground, common sense, etc.

The issues with NPR reporting stem from word choice (inclusions and exclusions), choice of stories to report (crickets about things they disagree with and wall-to-wall on things they want you to be outraged with), etc.

NPR is about as partisan as it gets... it's a smoke screen to bill themselves as non-partisan - and some people just eat it up.

I mean no...

There is no reason to behave like we exist in a low trust economy for any non-essential service when these 'non-essential' services are a massive portion of our total GDP.

Really, to follow your over libertarian line of thought it would be ok to say "Oreo's don't need to follow food safety laws because Oreo's aren't a necessity, you can buy bread and water". Instead we apply food safety laws to all food products so you don't play cancer russian roulette.

And the same should go for service transactions. I shouldn't have to find out that the one company that seems to own all venues is a monopolistic bastard that will fuck you over. Instead I should elect a representative government that punishes the living fuck out of companies that try to behave like that so the general consumer saves massive amounts of time and money thereby benefiting society.

Why do people need to be protected from text an AI bot might emit?
As much as I like "digital gardens" and think that they are a step in the right direction, rewilding requires much more than cultivating lots of isolated patches of ground - the article even mentions a nature reserve which was "too small and too disconnected to be rewilded. Its effectively landlocked status made over-grazing and collapse inevitable".
I'm not sure why. In many cases the merchant is charged a chargeback fee regardless of whether they are in the right or not. The bank gets paid either way.
Yea, you most likely stumbled on a book owned by one of the scientists working on Sweden's program back in the day.

I'm curious what was highlighted about Italy, and what the calculations were.
Berliner said that the newsroom had all Democrats, and zero Republicans. Yet magically they're going to have a balanced approach anyway?

They interviewed Adam Schiff 25 times in the RussiaGate "scandal." They dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop story as a "non-story" and somehow they still want to claim they're non-partisan?

It might be more straightforward and honest for all you NPR-defenders to just come out and say, "It's OK when we do it, because we're right. And we're SO tired of hearing about that laptop."
> Then perform smaller venues and ration tickets to your most-devoted fans. Unfortunately, if you do that, it's tough to become a billionaire.

If you do that, it's tough to make any money at all. If you're, say, Dave Matthews Band and you have 50,000 people who want to come to each show, and you start saying you'll only play to 1,000 people at a time, the economics start going sideways. The size of the band has to shrink and/or the cost per ticket has to go way up. The secondhand/scalper market sends tickets sky high.

Ticketmaster/LiveNation allows big acts to fill big venues, which (despite how it may feel sometimes) actually makes the show available to more people at a lower price.
Which service tier would apply to ssh/vpn traffic?
>> Hot take... How many other news sources discuss race?

Almost all the conservative media outlets and all their pundits do simply because the whole topic has been an arms race for years. Conservatives are finally attempting to sway the popular narrative that race and identity politics are the only thing that determines your future.

They often discuss race within the context of identity politics and the far-left idea that "all white people are racist" versus their notion that race doesn't determine who you are, how smart you are and how successful you can become.

Its the age old philosophical idea of determinism vs. free will

And in court they will probably argue that this is vertical integration that creates savings they pass along to the consumer. DOJ will likely argue they are pocketing it.
If the managers found evidence that he was working 3 jobs, asked him about it, and he denied it, then yes 100% he'd be a liar. Nowhere in the story does it say he denied anything, protested, faked or exaggerated his contributions, etc. His only deficiency, according to the story, was not enough time.

I'm saying you're projecting because you assumed he lied in some way, when the story doesn't say that.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. I was addicted to point-and-click adventure games during the late 80's / early 90's. So much nostalgia.
Indeed. It is CQRS with some ES in there (for sagas/workflows).

Right now, granularity is pretty granular but it could be more granular. For example, there is a concept of serialization scopes that I’m barely using. But it would be possible to (and fairly trivial) to use this to prevent serialization of the entity snapshot for certain properties. This would give the illusion (especially in the graphql projection) that an entity was “missing” fields. From a consumer aspect, it might mean that you can’t call certain methods. Already, the granularity may allow you to call a method and not be able to see its result, for example. It’s pretty neat … but this is also a reminder of sooo much left to document.
I played Loom quite young (not sure I made it very far into the game) and haven't revisited it yet. It occupies this mystical otherworldly place in my mind.

Monkey Island 2 was a personal favorite that I did replay somewhat recently. There's something special about those old Lucasarts games.
I didn't watch those youtube videos, but the text links either agree with the opinion that bluetooth is worse, or don't refute it.

That rtings graph shows that bluetooth is pretty clearly worse in the majority of cases from wired or wireless (which is distinct from bluetooth).

"Bluetooth" doesn't appear anywhere on that Reddit thread.

And from the second rtings:

> The mouse's connection type affects the click latency. Generally, wired mice have the lowest latency, and Bluetooth mice have the highest latency. A Bluetooth connection isn't recommended for gaming, but it's still good for office use, and most people won't notice any delay unless the latency is extremely high.
> I hate searching for hidden meaning in something that doesn't actually have a legible hidden meaning.

It's not about being a pretentious savant who can analyze his films for deeper meaning but enjoying them for defying the expectations. And you can draw any conclusion you like - from hating it to watching it 1000x and writing a thesis on it and everything in between.
Not a lawyer, but maybe a CLRA suit if you are in California. As I understand it - you may be able to get attorneys fees and punitive damages.

Yeah, I remember one day just after I got home in my manual VW rabbit, with the the engine still running, the gear in neutral, and my foot on the brake, suddenly the engine revved hard by itself.

I put off the engine, and it has never occurred again as far as I can tell, but no one can convince me that that was not a case of unexplained acceleration due to some internal bug.
people somehow feel like the they have right to see a Taylor Swift concert for $40 but if you suggested that SuperBowl tickets should be $40 everyone would look at you like youre crazy.

I once tuned in to NPR when they were talking about artificial intelligence, and they were talking about how the seminal figures in the field (e.g. McCarthy) were white men. I reflected that if I had to pick the least interesting possible topic on AI, it would probably be how white the AI researchers were in the 1950s.

I think this is the transcript: https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1161883646.

> The Dartmouth conference has become an origin myth... Of course, the origin myth served to empower these men to tell their own story. And it's a story full of erasure... We hear nothing in that origin myth about the relationship that AI has to industrialization or to capitalism or to these colonial legacies of reserving reason for only certain kinds of people and certain kinds of thinking.

(later, same show):

> White men wanted to call themselves universal and produce themselves in the machine.

I mean, seriously?
So you didn’t purchase ticket insurance, you got the tickets you paid for (which they can allow you to sell, at their discretion) and you filed a chargeback… why is that Ticketmaster’s problem? Like it sucks, to be sure, and Ticketmaster is awful, but I’m not sure why that chargeback would be considered legit.
I have never, and will never, forgive Creative for destroying Aureal by suing them into bankruptcy via legal costs.

Aureal made 3D audio for the first time - real 3D audio, ray-traced sound - and it was absolutely staggeringly amazing. I played the first Half-Life using this. It was incredible - unforgettable.

Creative destroyed them, to destroy the competition, and that technology far as I know has since then been lost - the 3D stuff I know of after that is not ray-traced.
"Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated". It feels like people have been harking the death of Moore's law for decades, I think we still got at least another decade to go just based on the technology we have today.
The GP isn't praising them for their middle ground reporting. The truth often doesn't have a middle ground.
This depends entirely on the device. And "firmware" comes in many shapes & sizes: from a few KB binary flashed into a microcontroller, a bitstream configuring an FPGA, to GB+ OS images installed on say, a smartphone or tablet.

So please define what you mean by "firmware". And be specific - make, model (+ revision?).

> Do we have a widely used language that is used to build firmwares for many/most embedded devices?

For smaller devices, yes: assembly (many different ISAs), or C. Just asking that question suggests firmware coding isn't for you.

But as you look into more powerful devices, the landscape becomes much more varied. C++, target-specific SDKs, multiple pieces of firmware for different components in a system (and multiple ways to install those), etc etc.

Also note that some firmware can't be updated by end users. If at all. Comes in ROM, or one-time programmable, or IC pins were used in factory but not accessible on a circuit board in the final product, chip only takes signed updates (and only manufacturer has the signing key used for that), ...
Few/none of the wireless gaming mice are using bluetooth, its proprietary radio protocols and usb dongles.

Click latency is not too useful vs swipe latency.

Bluetooth has a pretty low polling rate iirc and that kills the swipe latency.

More generally and responsive to what we were talking about, proprietary radios are not bluetooth and they are not WiFi which is the latency we are actually talking about (which is usable but not for me to play elden ring by direct experience).
That sounds like it has possible unintended consequences? "Go shoot lots of guns and do violent things and then our hazard pay will go up!"

The policies were largely unchanged before and after. What was unique about this period was quantitative easing & lowering of interest rates to ~0. Companies were suddenly flush with cash and had nothing to do with it, because keeping it in the bank wasn't an option. So they went on a shopping spree.
> A data breach? On a small self-hosted blog or email server? Who's data would those regulations be punishing you for leaking, your own, maybe two freinds'?

Say you host your own WordPress blog with comments enabled. A few of your posts get to the front page of Hacker News, and you collect a couple hundred comments from California techies. Your WordPress instance is breached because you didn't patch a zero day vulnerability quickly enough. You have to personally notify every California resident of the breach, and California's Attorney General.

Government regulation means that part of your job in self-hosting a simple blog is knowing that CCPA exists, along with every similar regulation passed by every other state, now and into the future.

Worse, you may not even realize you're holding regulated "personal data" and how much. Maybe you try to avoid this liability by turning off comments and uploads, but you don't realize your web server has access logs enabled, and some state or country considers this personal data as well. GDPR does for one.

>I have no idea where people who are saying NPR has made some kind of hard partisan shift are coming from.

Perhaps this will help you out:

A veteran National Public Radio journalist slammed the left-leaning broadcaster for ignoring the Hunter Biden laptop scandal because it could have helped Donald Trump get re-elected.

>Of course, there is one group of people that has been casting NPR as particularly partisan for at least 25 years

Congratulations on contradicting yourself.
A large fraction of NPR programming, particularly drive-time programming, comes from NPR. I’m pretty sure OP can distinguish between All Things Considered and What’s Up Spokane.

Good thing there is that whole court system and associated bureaucracy rather than autocratic rule supporting "accuse them of being evil for any reason". If any "investors" are actually wondering whether they're at significant risk of the US government "refusing to pay them" (read: seizing their assets), their first stop should be an attorney who can give them a rough idea if they're engaged in illegal activity. This is a good idea if one has any assets within the reach of US jurisdiction, regardless of whether those assets are government bonds or not. And sure the justice system, the legal system, and USian pan-jurisdiction all have their problems. But with this situation of ethnic cleansing in service of some hollow Make Russia Great Again nonsense, both the legal outcome and the morality are quite clear cut.
