Elderly who are a prime market for a reason cash from retirement or life insurance and possible dementia.

I don't know how many times I have told my own mother not to pick up the phone. At best she knows at worst she says she's knows it's a scam but "just wants to see who it is". At least she knows not to press 1 although "why what would it do?" often comes up. She has no credit card or Internet so VISA and Amazon scams are obviously fake. Of the calls to her land line phone nearly 100% are scam calls.

Even my aunt who knows better called to ask my mother why [large company] needed her to get gift cards and not tell the police. The pressure of authority is strong for older people they can't fathom someone would dare impersonate police.

Don't fall for your elderly relatives behaviour if they seems smart and not in any way gullible they still may be. It's shocking how easily some people are fooled even ones you think would never fall for such scams.
Maybe. I don't think anyone had information yet regarding the details. The extra power may have been just pure waste, rather than a performance improvement.

Unless I missed a real investigation posted somewhere?

using phone resolution & aspect ratio on a large TV is decidedly not beautiful.

not to mention unnecessarily doubling your network bandwidth usage, introducing extra latency, using more power.
Makes complete sense, vending the data (i.e. search results) and having direct insights into the consumption of those results (i.e. chrome browser behavior) is a game changer. I imagine this is also part of the value of Google analytics.
I'm sure all that user data was acquired from consenting users who knew what they were doing, and not at all illegally. Right? And certainly not while taking advantage from a monopoly (or duopoly) in many areas?

No it doesn't.

Anecdotal but the company I work for does. But, not for the reasons the wider community cares.

Strong FOSS projects tend to have multiple options for commercial support. So, if a hostile company acquires your commercial support provider, looking at you Broadcom, you have some options to move to someone friendlier for support.

So, for my employer it is about having options.

That's a bit silly, the C++ standard library is pretty small ("the intersection of your needs, not the union" is what they say), and it's often not even really good at the few things that it does. Whether that's core stuff like hashmaps and iostreams, or more niche stuff like std::regex.

We are talking about the US context here specifically and the legal process they have set up in place to ensure the rights of their citizens are balanced appropriately against the country’s national security concerns.

If you’re making a larger point that espionage is a thing however that’s a very different conversation and not a particularly fruitful one I don’t think.

In the same way that all people across the world are potential targets of collection from any group who has the capability to do so. At that point we are just back to the exact same set of arguments that apply to online advertising for example. There are things in there to be pissed about no doubt but it’s a lot more nuanced than that too.
What other outcome than "curation" do you see as a solution of the "bloat" problem?
A Tesla Cybertruck driver was killed in what appears to be the first reported fatal crash involving the electric pickup truck, which has yet to undergo third-party crash testing.
I co-built a similar screen sharing app (with a web server seeing traffic in the middle though) many years ago. MPEG isn't a good fit. We tried JPEG but it didn't look great. Version 1 decomposed the screen into regions, looked at which regions changed, and transmitted PNGs.

The second version tried to use the VNC approach developed years ago by AT&T and open sourced. The open source implementation glitched just a bit much for my liking. Various companies white labelled VNC in those days; not sure they fed back all their fixes. But the raw VNC protocol has a lot of good compression ideas specific to the screen sharing domain and documented in papers. People also tunneled VNC over SSH. I jerryrigged an HTTPS tunnel of sorts.

After a while I started to suspect if I wanted to get higher frame rates I should use a more modern screen sharing oriented Microsoft-based/specific codec. But it wasn't my skillet so I never actually went down that route. But I'd recommend researching using others screen-optimized lossless codecs, open or closed, so you don't reinvent the wheel on that side of things if you're serious about reducing bandwidth.

This isn't a scientific take necessarily, but did those studies look at the overall time of resolution of the illness and severity of the fever and related symptoms as well as the activity level of the patients?

Because for me, significant fever is always accompanied by some degree of malaise. Without drugs, the only way to relieve it is to conserve energy and immobilize.

My thought is that if you take the pain reliever so that you feel better and are able to do another task then this will likely increase the time needed to recover, since the body is not able to focus as much of it's resources on the immune system while you are doing something else.

If you take a pain reliever and it allows you to rest more effectively than you would be able to without it, maybe that would actually benefit the immune system though.
In the U.S. there is a private long term care insurance (LTCI) market. If tests to predict Alzheimer's work, insurance companies should be allowed to require such tests during their underwriting, or the LTCI market may disappear due to adverse selection, as only people who test positive for likely future Alzheimer's buy LTCI.
Nice use of Sankey. Here's an ask or thought, I would like to feed this automatically with my spend data from my bank account. So I can export a csv that has time-date, entity, amount (credit/debit) - would be great if it could spit this out by category (where perhaps an llm could help with this task). I would then like flow to be automated monthly or perhaps quarterly with major deltas (per my definition) then pushed to me via alerts. So this isn't so much active budget management but passive nudging where the shape of my spend changes something I don't look at now but would like to.

These companies have never encouraged employees to speak up. James Damore thought that was the culture, and he got fired.

We got some nice results with spiking/pulsed networks but the small number of units limits the application so we usually end up in a simulator or using more abstract models. There seems to be a commercial product but also only with 0.5K neurons, might be enough for 1D data processing though and filling a good niche there (1mW!) [2]

I don't know why this would qualify as simple.

Compare it with the proof by contradiction that the square root of 2 is rational:

$$\sqrt{2} = \frac{a}{b}
2 {b^2} = {a^2}
{b^2} and {a^2} have an even number of factors of 2
Therefore 2 {b^2} has an odd number of factors of 2 and cannot equal {a^2}.
$$

I can explain this to a ten year old. The irrationality of pi proof has too many non-obvious steps and claims.

I'll never understand why people feel they have a right to be angry about random new foods that other people invent. No one asked you.
No, it is not bad practice. Only developers who don't care about money actually coming through the door -- the same ones that get caught up in a local maxima trying to perfect the imperfect -- say that it's bad and that you should not do it.

The other commenter was actually just mixing it up with the broken windows fallacy[0]. Funnily enough, it's a common enough confusion that both of the pages reference each other at the top of the page.

How does this compare to confirming the existence of other things demonstrated to exist? For example, do we confirm the existence of a proton as some percent of the universe of protons? The same for gravity? Magnetism? Why is it that with time, we are always using some kind of tolerance statement based on some understanding of the entire existence of the universe (which I am unclear on how to test such theories), meaning that we still are not coming to a single statement "time is x" while also assuming time to exist (I haven't seen things published such as "we are less than 1/10th of a nuclear force inaccurate" because this is not how the nuclear force is demonstrated to exist)? To me, this suggests there may be certain broadly predictable properties of the universe such that time seems to explain some aspect what we observe, but it is merely concurrent with the mechanics of the universe and useful for human understanding, but not something that exists (note that this is my interpretation, not a scientific proposition).

(Conceptually similar to how the Ptolemaic model of the universe can predict the cycles of the stars, but does not provide a description of how the universe works, but I'm not trying to change the topic, just to stick strictly here to demonstrate things can be useful and scientifically not true.)

I love Sankey diagrams and don't understand why major personal finance apps like Mint, Quicken, etc., (and corporate ERPs for that matter) don't provide them out of the box. I plan to try this out for a budget, but want to see my actual expenses this way as well.
I just don't understand why other people who do it don't stop. You're deceiving people and making the world worse by doing so. Fair enough?

Mango production was down here in Rockledge too (right next to Merritt Island). Bad year all around for production. Last year was awesome though.

Are you in central florida, or is that just your in laws? I'd love to see a talk on this at the local orlando devs meetup.
No, that is but one condition of the end, but not the whole of the end.

A system is all the parts it requires to continue to exist. Widespread usage of NPM will collapse if everything on it is hot dangerous garbage that infects your CI-CD/dev box with something when you type a wrong character. There are multiple dimensions to trust. Is the package I'm using going to disappear is one. Is the package I'm using a virus is another. Is the entire NPM ecosystem going to collapse under the weight of controlled growth and hosting costs leaving me with nothing is yet another.

You need to back up and look at the whole elephant.
A [meta-analysis of all RCTs](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28526025/) seems to suggest there's no real difference between these kinds of fats. Is there a particular reason you are using only one study to draw strong conclusions?
No not the French word or name, and neither is the German word "Koch" for that matter.
I see this article says that chemically strengthened glass can be cut, and while it becomes weakened in the vicinity of the cut, it does not shatter as a result.
The Wikipedia article does not explain in any detail why this is so, but it suggests that there is less tensile stress than in tempered glass. Perhaps this is because the latter needs the internal tension to create the surface compression, while in chemically toughened glass, the compression is generated within the surface layer?

I have seen it said about Supafest drinking glasses that they do shatter into tiny pieces when they do break, though I do not know whether the source was reliable. If this is the case, then it suggests there is some difference between the Supafest and Corning / Gorilla Glass processes.
I understand this change might be a large undertaking to implement across the entire API, and although it would be good to do everywhere, it’s primarily just the send email API that needs it.

Apple doesn't try. There's thinner devices out there with M.2 slots, the Surface Pro X for example is 4mm thinner than a M3 MBA and yet has an insanely easy to access M.2 slot. The other Macs are even more egregious in their lack of at least an M.2 slot. The Mini in particular could have multiple with all the wasted space in the chassis but nope, not a design goal so they don't care.
I haven't looked close enough at it to really know for sure. I'm not saying it's _always_ bad, comments are helpful, but the problem is that unlike code they are not required to actually match reality.

In this case, I see several `if`s with no corresponding `else` even when the `if` section does not throw/return at the end, and that's largely my point. If the "space shuttle code" requirement is not actually rigorously followed, then why go on at length about it? And if it really is that important, then the comment about it is not good enough.

Rather than a comment about it that can be ignored, they should set up a static analyzer to enforce it at build time. That way you're forced to follow the convention and not relying on code reviewers that probably don't even see that comment during their review.
How this will go:

1. Everyone will yell that FSD did this, ignoring that FSD doesn’t exist on these trucks yet.

2. Everyone will yell that it was a stuck accelerator pedal, or some other form of uncommanded acceleration.

3. People will forget about it

4. Evidence will emerge that this was just a dude going about 100mph, drunk, and slammed his car into a culvert at 1:45am on a Sunday night.

5. No one will report the new evidence.

This stuff is so predictable.

Note input is "out of scope" for wayland and XKB is used there for keyboard input as well. I just had a quick glance at "wtype" source and indeed, it fiddles with the keymap, using xkbcommon. So, assuming a suitable X11 replacement for this "wofi" tool, you could do exactly the same on X11 using "xdotool".

Someone on HN pointed out a problem with a joke in the new name, but they got flagged. Basically, the new name looks like intentional innuendo wordplay related to the problem with the first name

We all appreciate various kinds of humor, in the right contexts.

But this software seems like something used in professional and academic contexts.

Including professional and academic contexts with a history of sometimes being unwelcoming to women. Who might not want to be reminded of old boys' club locker room phallic humor insensitivity throughout each day as they work.

So, the new name is going to seem like doubling-down, by those who didn't understand all the problems with the previous name, or didn't consider them problems.

I think this is one of those things we sometimes do out of lighthearted intention, with no harm intended, and only later realize and regret.

Now's a chance avert some harm and regret.
Saying being socially inept is entirely within your control is like saying being bad at math is entirely within your control.

You have to understand that for a huge chunk of the population, abstract inter-personal models like ring theory and the "Kvetching Order" are just genuinely above them and if you were to try and stop the conversation so you could educate them on how better to converse, you'd end up being the boorish one.

Most people out there don't need Western psychology models to describe the emergent patterns in own their behavior. Most people just have friends and don't need to take a mental tally of whether they're the present adult in the room. I think that if you find someone's presence annoying or off-putting, it's probably not due to a lack of ring theory education, they might just have a personality.
> In summary, it was the confluence of these issues that resulted in a system crash: [...] the lack of a specific test for non-wildcard matching criteria in the 21st field.

I feel they focus a lot on their content validator lacking a check to catch this specific error (probably since that sounds like a more understandable oversight) when the more glaring issue is that they didn't try actually running this template instance on even a single machine, which would've instantly revealed the issue.

Even for amateur software with no unit/integration tests, the developer will still have typically ran it on their own machine to see it working. Here CrowdStrike seem to have been flying blind, just praying new template instances work if they pass the validation checks.

They do at least promise to "ensure that every new Template Instance is tested" further down.

It's a quality issue. Beer served in a new, spotlessly clean glass will have a distinct foamy head on top of clear liquid. If the glass is dirty or scuffed, bubbles will rapidly form on the sides of the glass, which seriously affects the quality of the beer. The head will be thin and uneven, the liquid will look murky and the beer will taste flat.

This isn't meant to be a nationalistic point, but America has a relatively undeveloped beer culture; beer is often kept and served very poorly and drinkers rarely notice. British, Belgian or German drinkers will notice, complain and tell all their friends if you aren't serving beer properly.
The highest, unelectable, courts allow and encourage this behavior. The police are unelected standing army that carry it out.

It's a difficult problem that maybe by the most generous interpretation can be voted out, but not really. Only way I see an end is emigration or the US not existing in anything resembling what we see today.

I’ve had so many conversations with so many non technical people who desperately just want devs to stop messing around with the UX or UI of an important app.

edit: Okay I thought it did but apparently my router doesn't assign publically routable IPv6 addresses by default. I found a setting that would enable this though. Gonna leave it off for security reasons, but it's just a toggle, so still seems pretty easy. Also my local interface apparently has an (unrouted) ip in the same subnet as my router's public address, and I'm not sure how it got it.
I switched from Pulseaudio to Pipewire at the beginning of the year, and all of a sudden my laptop is so stable I no longer need to reboot it every month or so. It seems to just be better disguised nowadays, not really much better.
I adore James Baldwin...I think he is an intrepid sojourner of what being an American means, of our fraught and compromised inheritance...when Baldwin bounces against a boundary, a prejudice, an assumption, in Europe or America, it is always so generative for us, we learn so much from it, we are a little less ignorant of ourselves.
One aspect of the google plus thing was that google liked to link it to peoples other google services.

Some people had their google+ accounts suspended for reasons such as "google is not sure that you are using your real name" or an unspecified terms of service violation and got their gmail accounts locked as well.

For many people, loosing access to their gmail is really bad. Suddenly it's a huge hassle to get their car insurance policy pdf or email their landlord.

For many people, it was not worth the risk of loosing access to their main email address.

That doesn't make sense to me because electromagnetism is both an attractive and repulsive force (can pull objects together or push them apart). Gravity is purely an attractive force which makes sense when explained as warped spacetime. But I'm also not a physicist...
