Do these kids just not have parents? Are teachers unable to get parents to require their kids leave their phones at home? When I was in high school we had Nokia phones that did basically nothing but calls and snake.
At the first show I was at that had them, The International 5 in Seattle, I figured out they were IR very quickly by putting one in my backpack and seeing it didn't react when all the others did but did react as soon as I pulled it out (cloth backpack).

I then prime now'd a univeral remote to the arena. I had arena wifi for my work but I was in the stands. That didn't work (didn't pick up a signal). So that night I diassembled it and verfied it was basically a moulded wristband, micro, ir, leds, battery and connectors. so I next day'd an IR Toy to the arena. I was able to read a signal but couldn't reproduce it. It was kinda hard to live code during the event and my batteries kept dying.

I tried again the next year but got bored after that. It was annoying to have the setup at the ready when they flashed the lights especially as that was usually during the biggest moments of action. So I just sat back and enjoyed the show.
> But the prev post chose a particular outcome, and any particular outcome is rare.

No, we first observed a particular outcome (the giant ring). This would be like running coin flips for long enough, spotting some interesting sequence that wasn’t decided beforehand, then deciding it must not be random because that sequence should have been incredibly rare.

Sure, that sequence was rare but it was just as likely as all the other sequences which we didn’t end up seeing.
Agreed. I really enjoy the recent trend of museums that sit at a comfortable balance between avant garde/modernist design and an attempt to embody the subject in an accessibly visual and conceptual way. The NMAAHC and NMAI in Washington, DC are a couple of other good examples (though, I'm biased because they're in my backyard). Of course, this is on a whole other level. It really does seem like something you'd fly internationally to visit.
Practice interviews only makes you skilled at interviewing for places that you don't want to work.
Try to take a screenshot while you're watching one of those streams. More than likely, there will be a black rectangle where the video is supposed to be. That's DRM. You could say it's the opposite of a11y. It kinda puts the kibosh on your idea. Unless you, say, point a webcam at your screen or something.
Repeating another comment further down - an EV is like an ICE that just magically has a full tank of gas again every morning.

All the comments on here calling them inconvenient seem to be either people who are clutching at straws because they want to believe that EVs are bad for whatever reason, or people with transport requirements well outside the norm (e.g. >~200km per day fairly regularly.)
I did similar long baseline acoustic localization for my dissertation a few years ago. We had about 15 microphones deployed in a wetland for bioacoustic monitoring.

https://resenv.media.mit.edu/pubs/theses/Resynthesizing_Volu...

Rather than manually finding the timestamps in the individual audio files you can do pretty well with using cross-correlation to find the relative delays between the mic signals. Any particular delay between a pair of microphones corresponds to a hyperbola through the mic array. If you visualize the hyperbola from all the pairs of microphones, the correct location pops up as the intersection of them. The cross-correlation peak can get pretty smeared out though, because each microphone is hearing a different version of the source signal.
It sounds unfair until you look at all this from a different angle.

Lots of companies pay head hunters good money to get valuable candidates. You can think of the Ivies and the other top tier schools as 4-year head-hunting agencies. They first do a selection to see which kids have the most potential. Some of the kids have potential in the fact that they are very hard working, or extremely smart, or both. And some have potential in the fact they have a strong personal network (the legacies). On top of this selection, these universities also provide training. But that's secondary.
Ok, does that mean that the Police is showing up to threaten wealthy parents of kids with good grades, who nevertheless miss school because they we're travelling with their parents?
> I would muck it all up with wristbands assigned to seats and a 5G/IOT network needing to be installed at every stadium and custom control logic needing to be written and customized for every stadium

complex, expensive, difficult to deploy, doesn’t account for all factors (highly congested cellular networks are common in medium to high dense areas).

Reminds me of a few consultants I have had the “pleasure” to work with.

I noticed this because the topic of He Plus Salt Public is researching cowboys, so I need to look them up often.

In the past two years, I have a very obvious feeling: the original information that can be found online has been sharply reduced at a cliff-like rate every year. Before, I could still see some original reports, and then they slowly disappeared; before, I could still find the speeches of the protagonists or the articles they wrote, and then I slowly couldn't find them anymore; before, I could still see a lot of videos of interviews or conversations, and then they slowly disappeared.

It seems that there is a monster that devours web pages, it devours from the past to the present along the timeline of history, first in small bites, then in big bites, swallowing everything in the Chinese Internet in one bite in units of five or ten years.

When we look back, we will find that everything that once existed in the Chinese Internet before the mobile Internet, whether it is a portal site, official website of the organization, personal web page, or campus BBS, public forums, or Sina blogs, Baidu posting, or documents, photos, music, video, etc., have all disappeared.

I remember more than ten years ago, I used to change the computer because of some photos and articles into a compressed package, existed in a BBS, a few years later found that that whole BBS are gone. I used to use hotmail mailbox, there are a lot of very precious mail, and then all gone. I also wrote about RenRen and MySpace, and then all of them are gone.

We used to think that the Internet could keep everything, but it turned out that nothing could be kept.

This reminds me of the "two-way foil" mentioned in Liu Cixin's Three Bodies. The singer civilization discovered the existence of intelligent beings in the solar system, and out of the clearing instinct of the advanced civilization in the universe, they threw a two-way foil into the solar system, and then the whole solar system collapsed from three-dimensional to two-dimensional at the speed of light, and it changed into a cool Van Gogh's "starry sky" picture. All traces of life, all traces of civilization, have since disappeared.

On the Internet, we are already in the midst of a two-way foil. This bi-directional foil can be called the "bi-directional foil of time", and it devours the dimension of time.

While the solar system was flattened by the two-way foil of the singer civilization, at least a picture of the starry sky was left behind, the Internet was swallowed up by the two-way foil of time, leaving only a void.
I've leased 3 Leafs in the past and have a Niro EV now. Always charged them exclusively from a 110V regular outdoor outlet. Have a 18miles commute roundtrip and never had an issue. I'd get a 220V charger if we didn't have a PITA HOA.

The danger of commenting like I did at all is that it's not a universal experience. I found it insightful sitting in an airport killing time. Perhaps consider accentuating the positive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If the civilization of the future is the civilization of the Internet. Our generation, will have no history. Because the Internet has left no trace of us.

"No history." Does this matter matter?

Of course it's important.

In order to write an article about Shao Yibo, I once tried every possible means to find the original video of Shao Yibo's participation in the program "Boshi Tang" in 2007, as well as his wife, Bao Jiaxin's postings in the Baby Tree community, which had been posted for several years under the screen name "Wen Ai Mom". In the end, I couldn't find them, and I can only feel deep regret.

Although the article "Red Dust Has Forgotten Shao Yibo" is still very popular, with more than 700,000 people reading it and more than 20,000 retweeting it in just one week, I'm pretty sure that I must have missed some very important information. The quality of the article would have been better if they had been presented in that article.

But I couldn't find them, so I had to let the article be presented in an imperfect way.

You may be thinking: this is only useful for researchers and writers like Hojasan, I don't write articles like this, it's not like the internet information is gone without it, it's not like it affects me.

Really?

If we can no longer see all of Jack Ma's speeches, all of Ren Zhengfei's articles represented by My Father and Mother and A River of Spring Water Flows East, and all of Duan Yongping's postings in Snowball, would you not feel a little bit sorry?

Well, you say you don't feel pity.

If we can no longer search Huang Zheng's public number, can not see Zhang Yiming's microblogging, can not go on Wang Xing's rice, will you feel a little regret?

Well, you say you don't feel sorry either.

If one day, Zhihu like Tianya Forum is gone, Douban like RenRen disappeared, B site is like Sina blog has no one asked, will you not a little heartache?

If one day, your favorite microblogger's microblogging only shows "the author has set to show only six months of microblogging, this microblogging is no longer visible", you often read the public only shows "this account has been blocked, the content can not be viewed", you are in the jittery voice or Xiaohongshu Search for certain information, the results show "the author has cleared all the content" ......

Even, microblogging, public number, jittery voice, small red book, just like once existed bbs, posting bar, space, blogs, as all the demise ......

Will you be sad about this even for a short minute?

As the generation of traditional Internet, the 70s and 80s can no longer find our history. Because they have all but disappeared.

The new generation may still be able to look at the circle of friends, but the circle of friends is also more and more "three days visible", more and more silent.

The only thing that is still enthusiastic about sending circles is a waterfall of marketing information.

In the future, even these marketing messages will eventually die out.

The times tool says I’m better off buying to the tune of $100k over 10 years given the example I used above. I don’t know if that’s a reasonable assumption, however in order to break even I need to reduce the rent to $2300. In my locale, the difference between $2300 in rent and a $420k house is not emotional, the house is a tangible and significant space and standard of living increase.

I don’t know why it would be any other way; the landlord has to pay a mortgage or purchase price, and the rent must be higher than that. The mortgage and TCO costs of the property plus some profit for the landlord are what renters pay.

This was done so that networks could actually be renumbered to increase aggregation and routing efficacy. In todays work once you give out a number you cant take it back, and that leads to fragmentation (i.e. the swamp)

If someone held a gun to your head and stole your laptop or phone, yes, I'm sure the OP won't try to claim they own the laptop anymore and go to the owners house asking for it back.

Stealing through force is very different to stealing through deception alone. History is made by the first, and ruined by the last.
I think of them like this: Authentication is the act of verifying that you are who you say you are, generally with something you know (password) and ideally with something you have (token, authenticator app, etc.). This lets you log in.

Once you log in, you are granted authorization for certain tasks. This could be rights to an individual record or column, or it could be administrative privileges within an app. It's not involved in determining who you say you are; it authorizes you to access things based on who you are (from the act of authenticating).

That's the way I understand those two terms and their practical applications.
It's not "failing" on the simplest basic list cons'ing, it did what's expected, it consed the list. You're trying language features without even bothering to ask if the function you're using does what you think it does.

Have you read the docstring for (list?)? It says "Returns true if x implements IPersistentList". (cons 1 '(2 3)) results in a clojure.lang.Cons not the instance of clojure.lang.PersistentList. A clojure dev would be using (seq? (cons 1 '(2 3))) instead of what you tried.

I didn't make it past the first phone screen. I was a fresh college grad (about 2 years experience) with only java and php. I can't remember much about it, other than the recruiter beforehand making sure I knew what type of company they were and that I was okay with it
Honestly one of my biggest hangups about becoming an organ donor is the fact that the final decision is made by doctors.

I have not had good experiences with doctors. More often than not, I have experienced doctors' being wrong about my health status, and recommending treatment that ultimately does me more harm than good. How could I trust that same class of people to make as important a decision as this, knowing it'll be luck of the draw which one I get the day of some fateful accident? Even if I can name the person finally responsible for authorizing taking my organs, they're going to be doing it trusting the judgment of whichever doctor happens to be on shift.

We also can't know if--and if so, how often--they get it wrong. As the author mentions repeatedly, we can't know when "brain death" is "real death," or whether the medications given to preserve organs prior to cardiac death actually cause "real death."

It's the most important set of dice I can possibly roll. How can I make that bet? How can I bet that these people will accurately assess when I'm dead, even if I were to remove potential conflicts of interest from calculation entirely and grant that they were purely well-meaning? Even if the chance of being wrong were miniscule, the consequence to me of being on the wrong end of it is total.

I wish we could find a way to revive organs after death rather than having to keep them in a quasi-alive state. I would love to donate parts of myself so other people can live, after I'm done using them to live.

After.
The underappreciated problem with immigration is that it allows advanced economies to cover up issues that make raising kids difficult. A shrinking population crashes the housing market. A growing population powered by immigration rather than birth rate props up the housing market.
Apple offers people an extended social graph, support, and great UX so long as they leave their freedoms at the door of the walled garden. They win people over with carefully crafted psychological manipulation.

This is toxic behavior that stunts societal progress for money.

That is like a cult in that it exploits peoples tribal nature to lock them in to an ecosystem for the gain of those at the top.

I find that to be evil. I also find Microsoft, Google, and Meta to be just as bad if not worse, as well as all companies who emulate their behavior.

We should be selling users services, useful tools without restrictions, increased freedom, increased privacy, and increased defense against centralized entities that may put them at risk for profit or power.
Sorry, I had meant by "stats" anything about the average among users, since I suspect that you might actually be an outlier on the lower-end among people who work professionally in or with technology.
Parents make up a significant enough part of thr population that I can't believe this is true for most people. When you have a kid you have a significant chance of impromptu emergency trip to pick up your kid. It's bad enough that I have seen this restrain people's careers because committing an hour was not viable when you might have to drop everything and get your kid, so they took lesser jobs in order to maintain that flexibility. Speaking as someone who actually lived on public transportation for years in the US, you definitely need a car in the US the moment you have a child. It was what prompted me to get a car. Working with the US's public transportation system is awful when you have to make these kinds of time sensitive trips. Taking ubers to where you need to go is prohibitively expensive (I've done this). Relying on neighbors just puts your kid's wellbeing on the grace of others which is untenable for parents.

Maybe if you live somewhere like New York it's possible, but I can't see it in other US cities. You definitely need a car in the US. If you don't have one as a parent in the US, you wish you had one.
One senator cannot filibuster a law. The other senators can just vote to end debate. And it requires at least 40 senators to vote to continue debate.
" "Arab" is a linguistic identity that is still in the process of forming into a truly ethnic identity despite Khalil Gibran's (a Lebanese Christian American) efforts in the early 20th century"

Despite people downvoting me I did read the article. I don't assume this is all fisherman since that Chinese boat mentioned seems to be conveniently taking out cables and the Chinese gov is not responding to their investigation requests. Still doesn't change the fact that fishing operations destroy the ocean floors, a simple amount of research can confirm this.

Agreed.
> The new capital is also to riot proof their capital. Large dense cities are hard to defend with armies

Partially, but Cairo is also extremely extremely crowded. It's becoming an economic drag like Jakarta and Manila are in Indonesia and Philipines due to primary city syndrome.

Most planned satellite cities in Egypt end up doing decently well like 6th of October, El Sheikh Zayed, New Cairo, El Sadat, 15th of May, Nasr City, Al Obour, Badr, 10th of Ramadan, etc.

By moving the ministries and the capital, it helps reduce congestion and also makes it easier to expand out.

It also spreads infra capital across 6-7 governates instead of just Cairo Governate.
The British Museum isn't a thief. The same way America isn't stolen land.

Force isn't a precursor to theft. It's a precursor to possession.

If someone with a bigger stick used it to take possession of the museum, we would have to say that they own the items now.
Yup, we've sort of assumed this is the standard. Lots of people here love to work at 2 AM. We used to schedule messages for 9 AM, but that happens to be when nobody reads them. A lot of good chats start at 1 AM, when people are in the zone and don't have to drop off in 14 minutes for another meeting.

This is indeed exactly how your posts are coming across.

It's obvious that Apple took a loss on the DTK hardware because it was never for sale to the public.

Apple manufactured it, shipped it out to developers, and then issued a credit for the full cost of joining the program when the hardware was returned. They ended up with used hardware that couldn't be sold.

An obvious loss.

Microsoft isn't even bundling a copy of the ARM version of Visual Studio, which would have a marginal cost for them of pretty much zero.
It's pretty rare for a child growing up in an anti-science household to be convinced to change their worldview by abstract philosophy, not least because they won't have access to those sorts of books.

It's quite common for a child growing up in an anti-science household to be convinced to change their views on science by devout Christians writing about evolution, dinosaurs, astronomy and so on. Fundamentalist parents are often quite surprisingly happy for their children to read those kinds of books because they are written from the perspective of the in-group. There's a reason that Life of Fred is popular.

If you want to write a book about the theory of science and what truth is, go ahead, but you aren't going to make much of an impact on that particular target audience.
That sure seems like an article written to rile people up who want to be riled up.

Let’s use simple reason here…

If there isn’t enough supply, rates will go up, coordination or not.

If there is no supply issue, landlords who conspire to raise rents will be immediately undercut by those that do not.

Article makes allegations, and nothing came of them. It’s not illegal to call and ask prices. Prices that they’re “agreeing on” were all what people were paying.
>do Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the US, Britain, Ireland, etc, all have the same inability to build

I don't know about the others, but we're building about 50% of what we need for Australia's population growth. Neo-liberalism has resulted in decades of de-funding of public education, which trains tradespeople, and now we have a shortage of tradespeople. And we're getting another tax cut in a few weeks so I guess that problem, plus all the others with same cause, is just going to get worse.

One way to convince yourself that a fridge is simpler than a 5G cell system is to look at the science history behind them. The heap pump, the core concept behind a fridge, goes back to 1748 (Cullen). Radio goes back to Maxwell (circa. 1864) and Hertz (1886). Basically at the time that Radio was invented/discovered refrigeration along the lines of the modern fridge was well understood. The first cellphone was invented in 1973 and the first commercial cell phone was 1983. Lots of technologies in the latest generations that are pretty cutting edge and today's phone and technologies look like science fiction to someone from the 1970's or even 1980's...

On the other hand if salaries are at 300k then 10k compared to that is not a huge cost. If a scalable tool can make you even 10 percent more effective it would be worth 30k.
