“Gravity, a mere nuisance to Christian, was a terror to Pope, Pagan, and Despair. To the mouse and any smaller animal it presents practically no dangers. You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and, on arriving at the bottom it gets a slight shock and walks away, provided that the ground is fairly soft. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes. For the resistance presented to movement by the air is proportional to the surface of the moving object. Divide an animal’s length, breadth, and height each by ten; its weight is reduced to a thousandth, but its surface only a hundredth. So the resistance to falling in the case of the small animal is relatively ten times greater than the driving force.

An insect, therefore, is not afraid of gravity; it can fall without danger, and can cling to the ceiling with remarkably little trouble. It can go in for elegant and fantastic forms of support like that of the daddy-longlegs. But there is a force which is as formidable to an insect as gravitation to a mammal. This is surface tension. A man coming out of a bath carries with him a film of water about one-fiftieth of an inch in thickness. This weighs roughly a pound. A wet mouse has to carry about its own weight of water. A wet fly has to lift many times its own weight and, as everyone knows, a fly once wetted by water or any other liquid is in a very serious position indeed. An insect going for a drink is in a great danger as man leaning out over a precipice in search of food. If it once falls into the grip of the surface tension of the water -that is to say, gets wet - it is likely to remain so until it downs. A few insects, such as water-beetles, contrive to be unwettable; the majority keep well away from their drink by means of a long proboscis.”

this is what i did! it cost me less than 100 bucks in supplies and just under 2k in various gold (14k-18k) i bought on ebay. i mixed in enough 24k to bring it up to 42 grams of 18k. i cast two sets of rings (11g + 2g) and had some leftover gold to recast into grains to share with our parents and future children.

New Zealand dairy products are often cheaper in Australia than here in NZ where they are produced. I don’t get how that’s happening.
It’s a balance. And payment providers have nothing to do with it.

You want people to explore the value, but not start using too much of it for free. And you also don’t want to be to loose so they forget about actually trying.

There was a recent article here where they described how they realized that two weeks was way too short for their customers to sufficiently test it (some sort of developer/ backend tool).

On the other hand, more consumer oriented apps will benefit from shorter periods because it drives quick engagement and consumers are quick to jump on another shiny thing.
Thanks for letting me know about this! I do the same thing... DuckDB loads CSVs very quick and easy.
Malloy uses duckDB and can work in VScode or vscode.dev or the vscode built into github. So, you can analyze large .csv files in any of those places.

For example, go here [1]. Press "." (this loads vscode in browser) and you will be analyzing large .csv or .parquet files directly in your browser, after you click on the .malloynb file

Something I made to analyze every form submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (10-K etc.) since 2014. [2] Go there, press ".", install the malloy extension, and click on the .malloynb file! Do it all within your browser, or download it and use it in VScode.

I'm one of the co-founders of Mintlify and we're building a developer-centric documentation platform. The content is written in MDX and all managed through GitHub. Lately we've been building a web UI in conjunction with a GitHub integration so that non-technical folks can contribute easily - I think it's the best of both worlds (but I'm also biased). I do think docs-as-code would be hard if not for these more user-friendly UIs. Although we frequently chat with companies who initially say that our Github/code-centric setup is a blocker and they end up onboarding anyway.
Don't have to spoof it - just put something on Google Docs and send people a link.
"Leaves scientific and public health matters to the personal views of judges."

Too bad courts can't do things like admit expert witnesses.

"Casts a chill on developing new regulations development."

Good! Things are ridiculously out of control. Just look at the fiasco going on around raw milk right now - and that's just the tip of the over-regulatory spear.

"For those of us wanting diets to be healthier and more sustainable, it’s a disaster waiting to happen"

Why? How does a lack of regulation prevent you from making your own informed, intelligent choices?

What a piece of crap fear mongering article.
Wonder if Edge renames this to *.microsoft.com or bing.com.
This is something that is usually taken care of by the App that's receiving the input from the microphone (Google Meet, Teams, etc). The App breaks the audio into frequencies, and the ones that correspond to human voice ranges are accepted, and anything else is rejected. This is referred to as, for example, voice isolation, and has been turned on by default in all major meeting Apps for a little while now.

Surprised to hear that it doesn't seem to work for you when the audio is generated by a different browser, this shouldn't make a difference.
Thanks, I didn't notice that. All the fake-milks are basically the same to me, I'm not a big fan. Soy milk is the most tolerable, so I suppose it was internal biases on my part hehe
"Doesn't work" does not mean that you can't write such books/programs/documentation. It means nobody (yes, yes, exceptions ...) can maintain such code. Look at Jupyter Notebooks - the most used literate programming environment nowadays - and their usual content.
The main problem of documentation isn't solved by literate programming: how can you make sure that any relevant documentation has been updated, so that the docs are still in sync with the code.
What I was actually thinking about was the infamous Payment for Order Flow, where your broker doesn't actually send your orders to an exchange, but gets paid to send them to a giant HFT firm which can do whatever it wants with no oversight, including using the information that you are about to place an order to inform their algorithms which may result in them putting out a similar order before yours.
Not that easy with HSTS.

Did you even read the article? The contaminants are found around the battery manufacturing plant. Unrelated to the recycling that is never gonna happen anyway
This does not surprise me, I doubt the impact is great right now, but in 5 or 10 years I tend to think it will be. To dispose of regular batteries, like AA, you are suppose to drop them off to a recycle place. EV Batteries are much larger and contain more heavy metals.

Really, we (people) are doing all we can to avoid doing anything real about Climate Change. Many do something, but not to the point were it lessens how you live.

We really need to push Mass Transit, Walking, Bicycling and other forms of transport. The only real draw back is the loss of some convenience. But 140 years ago, people lived OK without Autos.
Thanks for the hard facts, quite comforting.
Can this work on intranet sites like sharepoint or confluence , which require employee SSO ?

I was trying to build a small Langchain based RAG based on internal documents but getting the documents from sharepoint/confluence (we have both) is very painful.
The problem of powershell model it's a closed system. If it does X, it's awesome. If it doesn't X, but there's a tool that does X and doesn't speak the same language powershell speaks - you are out of luck. That's where simple exchange formats win - they can combine tools from different domains. If I have a system that can do X using SuperDuperObjectProtocol and then another one doing Y which uses EvenBetterDifferentObjectProtocol - doing X+Y is a project that could take months if not years. If they both input and output some common easy format - like text or JSON or CSV - I can likely hooks them up in a lazy afternoon. It's not the question of processing power - all the super-comupters in the world would not make the task of hooking up SuperDuperObjectProtocol with EvenBetterDifferentObjectProtocol easier. It's the question of complexity, which always appears on the edges of domains.

This is common in Brazil and there's already a scam based on it: unsolicited delivery of flowers and a selfie to confirm receipt, that is actually used to validate transactions done with stolen personal data from the mark.
That's still just as unfair, though. Google always has access to that information because their extension is preinstalled and you can't disable it, but other websites have no access to that information unless you go out of your way to install a third-party extension to do so.
i just want to know if this is built into arc to be honest.
I think this would be part of echo cancellation: in a meeting you don't want the data from the meeting to be fed back to it. I suppose it uses the all the streams from the browser then, though I think in general it would be even better to cancel out everything that comes from the speakers. Maybe it can work this way on some other platforms?

E.g. PulseAudio and Pipewire have a module for echo cancellation.
Honestly it would never even occur to me to call my ISP to help if I'd forgotten my wifi password.

Also I feel like if you are concerned about forgetting your wifi password you'd probably just keep the one that's written on the device (and which is probably quite a bit more secure than the password you'd come up with yourself).
So if you install your own certificate authority and then spoof the DNS it might be possible? Not so useful as an attack vector, but potentially useful for people who want to do fun things with the browsers they own.
"There is no such thing as a friendly vulnerability." is going right up there with "You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself." in my list of favorite infosec quotes. Thank you!
A kinda rule of thumb is that municipal water systems lose 10% of their water through various small leaks. Water is generally cheap and your bill is more for maintaining the capital cost itself rather than gathering/processing the water.

I also use this analogy for smuggling and the resources spent trying to stop it: if 10% gets lost/intercepted/“leaked”, the smugglers just produce and send 11% more and demand is met. You can change the numbers but it doesn’t change the result.
Totally agree. Rolling releases are too much like gambling; time is far too much of a factor!

I'd argue most shops could afford to relax a bit though. Not rolling releases... but newer ones.

Not to dismiss the boneheaded-ness of the change: I'd bet CentOS Stream is technically fine for most. Whatever 'point release' is probably fine.

That leads me to Fedora. Some predictability through the six-month release schedule yet still recent software... and no substantial change in the social contract.
You’d hope so right?

Nothing at Google is that easy. It is a large and slow-moving bureaucracy.
I don't know about "submerged in misery" but yes, of course countries that perceive themselves oppressed by the US would welcome its decline, obviously.
This is a good question! The most common reason I hear in SaaS is that the arbitrary time window creates a sense of urgency for the person who has signed up to use the tool. Whereas, if there's no "countdown clock" people are more likely to forget about the software and never activate.

A lot of companies do Freemium versions or Reverse Trials where usage counts down based on user activity instead of time for the reason you're describing. But it's way harder to get people to upgrade from Free than to get them to convert when a time-based trial ends, generally.

Does anyone think that Netgear isn't doing the exact same thing with Orbi? (It's a given that Google is doing it with Eero.) Anyone taking odds on Ubiquiti?
It works for user facing documentation too. There are actually pretty good reasons for this - e.g. you can use the test to autogenerate up to date screenshots with playwright to put in the documentation.

I'm pretty convinced that there should be a single source of truth for specifications, tests and documentation but I think the industry will take a while to catch up to this idea.

I built a testing library centered around this (same as my username) but it's hard to get people to stop writing unit tests :)
You'd probably need DNS and Root Certificates, something to which most employers have access

The first bit is a well known factoid that gets quoted out of context.

Here's an article discussing it:

https://about.bnef.com/blog/liebreich-net-zero-will-be-harde...

> It is a truth universally acknowledged that only 5% of lithium-ion batteries are recycled, with the rest going to landfill. This claim is, however, false. It has been traced back to a report written in 2011 by Friends of the Earth, which divided volumes of collection by volumes of manufacturing at the time.
Yes, that is because in many places it is a law, plus recycling them is a money making industry.
Sounds like you’re in IT. Can yall install ad blockers for your employees? How well does that kind of thing go over? Truly curious.
I wonder how Chromium, Brave or Edge handle this?
Most lithium-ion batteries currently being thrown out are phone batteries, and those aren't recycled at a great rate.

Car batteries aren't being thrown out or recycled in large quantities yet, they're lasting a lot longer than people expected.
I really love my Bookwyrm instance bookrastinating. I've moved off of other social media entirely to mastodon, lemmy and bookwyrm. it's just enough with nice people without the horror show of the commercial ones. I donate to my instances. It's a good time.
Google Docs is designed to not let you run arbitrary JS in a trusted (i.e. google.com origin) context, or else the author of any doc you visit could act as you on Google properties.

FWIW I once tried and failed to compile Chrome. My machine didn't have enough RAM to compile chrome at the time. Even though it was able to fully compile any other software I threw at it.

Ahh, that makes sense. There are subcultures within the industry that are very bigoted about age. Fortunately, they aren't representative of the entire spectrum of the industry.

> Livin' the dream, baby!

Excellent! That's what we're all striving for, I think (although we all have different dreams). Keep it up!
You still haven't suggested anything of any substance. Just 'capitalism eats itself' which I think might not be an original observation. Sorry if I came across as rude.

Art can. Sometimes it's after you're dead though. There's a reason the term "starving artist" exists

All? It's not like you can throw them in the trash, so where else would I bring them except to the battery recycling collection point?
What if we replace P={god exists} with P={there is a cardinality between integers and reals}?

I think some people think of “god exists” as unknowable, or undefinable, or ill-defined, etc. But the “riddle” requires P to be exactly true or false. Seems one of the pitfalls of mixing natural language with mathematics.
People are machines though. And dogs aren't people.
This is a good question.

I don't know the answer, but this does make me think of atomic sieves like the ones used in oxygen concentrators.

This is an armchair scientist explanation of them, but they "concentrate" oxygen by first having atmospheric air pumped in and then pressurized. The microsieves have holes so small that mostly only oxygen can fit through, the larger CO2 and Nitrogen atoms simply won't fit.

Then, pressure is let off and fresh air brought in. The fresh air scrubs out the oxygen depleted air and refreshes it with standard air.

Then, the pressure decrease allows the oxygen to leak back out of the sieves, leaving you with oxygen enriched air.

I don't know if there are any atomic helium sieves, but if you can find one it might be a start to testing the question.
It's like Google relishes in giving the FTC all the help it could ever want.
dDocs: Peer-to-Peer and Private Alternative to Google Docs
Nice, but I’d want it to be small and have USB-C PD charging (with DisplayPort on the same port). Nothing I buy these days has a barrel jack.
The way this works (and I'm obviously taking a high level view here) is by comparing what is being played to what is being captured. There is an inherent latency in between what is called the capture stream (the mic) and the reverse stream (what is being output to the speakers, be it people taking or music or whatever), and by finding this latency and comparing, one can cancel the music from the speech captured.

Within a single process, or tree of processes that can cooperate, this is straightforward (modulo the actual audio signal processing which isn't) to do: keep what you're playing for a few hundreds milliseconds around, compare to what you're getting in the microphone, find correlations, cancel.

If the process aren't related there are multiple ways to do this. Either the OS provides a capture API that does the cancellation, this is what happens e.g. on macOS for Firefox and Safari, you can use this. The OS knows what is being output. This is often available on mobile as well.

Sometimes (Linux desktop, Windows) the OS provides a loopback stream: a way to capture the audio that is being played back, and that can similarly be used for cancellation.

If none of this is available, you mix the audio output and perform cancellation yourself, and the behaviour your observe happens.

Source: I do that, but at Mozilla and we unsurprisingly have the same problems and solutions.
In what world does "system / tab CPU usage, GPU usage, and memory usage" mean "full access to the system"? Any Chrome extension can access this info easily, the point that the tweet makes is that there's a built-in Chrome extension that shares this info with Google's own websites without any confirmation.

We're exploring some options for implementing something like adblocking on all traffic. I don't think people would care if we did that. Some may not even notice. Maybe they'd be happy that some sites were cleaner and faster.
Don't most websites send passwords in plaintext for login and rely on the connection being HTTPS for having any security at all? I don't like that, but seems to be very common, so I'm not surprised about the plaintext part of this article. But that the passwords are at all sent to a server, that did surprise me, good to know.
Even Tungsten isn't particularly hard to cut. Also truly Tungsten rings are a lot less common.

Most of the rings referred to as Tungsten rings are actually Tungsten Carbide. Tungsten Carbide rings, by comparison, is VERY hard to cut. You basically need a diamond blade/saw/grinding wheel to cut through TC.

The paper https://www.blastradius.fail/pdf/radius.pdf) explicitly states DIAMETER "never replaced RADIUS for many common use cases" and "the protocol itself offers no security when used over TCP". So unless the DIAMETER traffic is isolated or tunneled, it's arguably less secure than RADIUS/TLS.

The Impact of the Kaspersky Ban
Far from it.

I'm a libertarian and an environmentalist. Pollution is harming other people just as clearly and directly as assault, rape or murder and so regulations against that harm still fit naturally and comfortably within even fairly extreme or hardline libertarian frameworks.

A law that says "You can't spray mace in someone's face" and a law that says "You can't spray <whatever other harmful chemical> in <the air that will eventually hit people's faces>" are ideologically the same.

Perhaps you meant it's a fascist, statist or autocratic dream? The people with power (economic, political, social) get to benefit while the people without power get harmed.
This doesn't seem to describe either Wise (international transfers, not an account) or Mercury (business banking where you can get your money out in a bunch of ways that do not involve debit cards).
