> YouTube isn't work

In the beginning of YouTube, true. But nowadays YouTube is work for a lot of people. It's their primary source of income, even. It's pointless to say, "well, that's not how it should be". It is, and that's the reality of the situation.

And, frankly, the production value of a lot of stuff on YouTube is amazing. That doesn't come for free, in the form of recording equipment, set design and purchasing, and just plain old time to write scripts and do post-production work. There's no reason that stuff at that middle quality level (between random guy with a handheld smartphone and professional studio production) shouldn't exist. I think it's amazing that people can make such high quality content, without having to get past e.g. a hollywood studio gatekeeper.

In the past, TV was traditionally paid for through advertising and syndication, and movies through ticket sales, and VHS/DVD/Bluray sales. Nowadays there are so many more ways for people to distribute their creations, and more ways for viewers to compensate them for those creations.

The thing that sucks is that we are still so stuck on this ad-supported model, not that people want to put enough work into their creations that it needs to be a paid full-time job.
I have failed to comprehend the allure for precisely this reason. I've looked at adopting the Apple Watch a few times now, but as a person who struggles with insomnia and finds sleep tracking valuable, I'd have to buy a separate device to use with the watch because of the battery life. Or, I could just keep my current Fitbit which consistently lasts a week and gives me good enough information.

>Most nations other than the US, Canada, EU, and Japan mandate collection and retention of metadata

Then they should just not mention data collection at all if there is no agreement on it. "These countries are already doing it" is not a good reason to agree to something. Especially since it makes changing the law in those countries impossible now.

>this was a major sticking point that lead to the inefficacy of the Budapest Convention.

Really? Are you saying those other countries said they would not agree to any Cybercrime Convention unless it had an article mandating data collection? I find that hard to believe. In any case, even if that were true, it would be better to have no convention at all.
And then we completely skew Mars's orbit until it crashes into the sun or is flung out of the solar system.
I have a Garmin Forerunner which satisfies these requirements. It's basically the size of a normal watch, notifications work very well, and it has a GPS for tracking runs if you want that. I've had it for years and charge it at most once a day for ~15 minutes when I'm in the shower and it has literally never run out of battery. You can take it on a weeklong camping trip and probably be fine as long as you don't use the GPS.
I wonder if they intend to measure pressure and display altitude difference (or at least its sign) at some point. (That could be very helpful when skiing.)
An open source blogging platform with activity pub support

We always talk about how scarce freshwater is but this image reprenstation has made it difficult to imagine how much supply do we have for an ever growing human population, the growing demand for water and how long will it last.
This is not more convincing because the human body produces erythritol endogenously so high erythritol blood levels may be another effect of the health problems that cause heart attacks and strokes, rather than the cause. To prove causation they would have to track each subjects consumption of erythritol rather than their blood levels.

Presentation of Intermediate Results. The paper contains results
for every single experiment that was run. While this is useful
and insightful for us to see the evolution of the idea during
execution, it is unusual for standard papers to present
intermediate results like this.

This is actually quite good that the AI scientist does this. AI has no excuse of slow report writing that humans have to omit the intermediate results.
I've routinely gotten lost from my friends at festivals, and while I wasn't scared, I would have liked being able to find them again.

I suppose for young girls the feeling of unsafety might be bigger than it ever was for me, as a boy.

Edit: there's also the anxiety on the other side. What if you lose track of your younger sibling/drunk friend/child? It would be nice to be able to find them again without freaking out.
> They lost the batterygate lawsuits, right? Guess you missed that fiasco that resulted in Apple paying out over half a billion. In this case Apple deliberately degraded previous user experiences on older phones, which means previous behavior (in this case performance) stopped working, done deliberately by Apple

Let’s not share this absolute misinterpretation of what happened.

Apple fcked up big time on communication, that’s for sure, but it was an absolutely well meaning feature for an old device, lengthening their lifespan. They saw a bunch of random poweroffs due to degrading batteries not being able to output enough power to the CPU, and pushed an update that decreased the CPU clock down a bit. This of course degraded performance, and not having informed the buyers, making it a choice, they lost a lawsuit. But if they would actually do the communication well, it could have been an excellent positive PR, them fixing a bug for a 4 or so years device!
>Is that better for consumers than Apple and Google operating them and demanding a high enough margin to support moderation and review?

Both app stores are replete with scam/spam/spy/malware apps. I'm not convinced that the app stores are able to materially affect the quality of apps that go through.
What's the selling points here for upgrades? Comparing my five year old A50, I'm not seeing it. Presumably a better camera, and more RAM (why?).

That just means you get to scale it independently.

While they both need to scale the amount of DC<>AC inverters based on peak power demand. If you want to discharge over 16 hours you’re using 2% of lithium ion’s peak power output and need a huge mess of wiring to move power from each internal cell to that inverter + complex battery packs with individual electronics cooling etc.

Flow batteries on the other hand can use a single pump (+ redundancy) and fat pipe to supply a huge array of ion-exchange membranes which then sit next to the inverters.

Why do people put so much stock into daily movement like this? The Dow yearly graph is at the same level it was around the start of April or mid-May, with spikes and pits both above and below the big movements seen last and this week.
I wouldn't say that's true, I personally find Go code more confusing to read than the average language. For example:

```
func (r rect) area() int {
return r.width r.height
}
```

This syntax is strange to me despite being a simple example. I can tell that it's a function that takes in a rect pointer, is maybe named area() (but I'm now confused why this definition doesn't have an argument?), and returns an integer value. I've tried reading larger Go files and constantly run into syntax confusion like this and get exhausted.

So sure, I understand the gist of this code, but this is more difficult to understand IMO than any Python, Ruby, Java, Swift, Rust, Gleam code I've read.

>Faithless electors are constitutional but illegal

In some states, by the laws of those states, which is absolutely irrelevant when we're discussing the legality of the National Popular Vote compact (which is, obviously, kosher on the level of states that opted into it).

>which means their vote needs to choose a representative that represents them, not citizens of a foreign state.

By that logic, the Electoral College itself is unconstitutional.

Or any election. "I didn't vote for X, so X doesn't represent me".

Your interpretation of the word "represent" is not aligned with any real-world elections (including elections in the US).

Also, let me remind you that the Congress exists, and provides two other ways that the states are represented.

>which means their vote needs to choose a representative that represents them, not citizens of a foreign state.

The electors in the electoral college represent citizens that voted for them.

Whoever is decided to be the president by them is assumed to represent the people because it was a choice made by elected representatives.

They can all, collectively, decide to appoint the person that Russia thinks is the best choice, and it will be constitutional.

> which is why we have representatives elect the president.

Which is why there isn't a problem in any criteria those representatives use to elect the president - including the National Vote.

The problem is that what you think representation means and what the constitution codifies are two different things - which is exactly the problem that the National Vote is trying to address.
The point of my comment was to talk about what is sensible?

Your comment just seems needlessly dichotomous. I'm talking about having multiple devices, such that you aren't beholden to any single one. Nobody "requires" a laptop, just like nobody actually "requires" a phone. But if you're using up all your buy-stuff-online time looking through a tiny screen and tapping out search terms like Morse code, rather than being able to comfortably compare skus/stores far and wide, it's likely that you're drastically overpaying. I'm willing to believe this is a trap many people fall into (eg why else is Amazon always pushing Subscribe and "Save"), but we shouldn't be normalizing it as if it's effective rather than pathological and extractionary (cf Vimes's Boots).

And sure, the same trash-treadmill dynamic exists in the low end new laptop market with poor hardware and poor software (eg MSWin also pushes an upgrade treadmill). But this is kind of a weird Schrödinger's argument in a thread about a phone that costs $1,000 - someone who doesn't have enough resources to buy anything beyond a phone, yet also spends an outsized amount to have the latest flagship. My larger point still stands about the longevity of good product choices, but they require research and actualization - once again, the kind better done from a laptop or desktop rather than a pocket porthole.
Sounds kind of similar to Uber Entertainment's long ago Monday Night Combat. Not really my cup of tea but the gameplay mechanics were interesting.

>Why are the manufacturers so insistent on not providing small phones?

They don't sell.

Apple killed the iPhone mini due to low sales. Asus replaced the universally lauded Zenfone 10 with a very large Zenfone 11. Google increased the size of the Pixel 6 when compared to its predecessor. Sales also increased.
The last I read about it was this https://www.tp-link.com/ru/support/faq/1058/ which didn't exactly sound positive. If the safeguards are software only then custom software can break the law using it.

>The technical superiority of the American nuclear stockpile exists only because Russia and China quit testing and the United States invested heavily in science. If a second Trump administration resumed nuclear testing, Russia and China would surely follow suit—and because they have more to learn from each test, they would erode the United States’ advantage. Moreover, new or emerging nuclear weapons states—say, Iran or Saudi Arabia—would feel no constraints against carrying out explosion tests. The result would be that the United States’ nuclear-armed foes would be even more capable.

Not sure, but it may have to do with Apple using the Globalstar satellites.
It's nice to rest, but having no routine or activity is very bad for mental health, you become complacent and bored and you feel useless.

Sedentary lifestyle is no good either.

The problem is finding people to see and connect with. I find very few, but not enough.

You should try to not work to see how it goes for you.

Also, I have some past of slight depression that I treat.

Generally, staying at home is depressing and you lose energy very quickly, your body goes hibernating but you don't want to.

There are no other theories that I'm aware of that account for all the data we have, even approximately.
A lot of companies with SQL injection vulnerabilities remediated them by buying security appliances advertised to stop SQL injection attacks. That works for a while until time and turnover result in someone optimizing the appliance out of the stack. Then the cycle repeats.
Im a guy, who was happy to bring his daughter to work (5 at the time) every now and again.

One day I left her in my office, while I went to a meeting. When I came back she was GONE. A quick lap around the office and I could not find her. Another lap and I spotted her. She was in my bosses office coloring. He, and her were having a grand old time, and he clearly found my distress "amusing" as I really had nothing to be worried about.

As someone who thinks kids in the office every now and again is a good thing, there are limits. For me it would be a conference, and it might be for others as well.

Don't use die.net! The manpages there were last updated 10+ years ago. It's very unfortunate that that site does so well on Google.
The AI features. More RAM is needed for those. If you don't care about them then you're probably not going to want to upgrade.
I built Crumb (https://github.com/liam-ilan/crumb) a year ago, before starting university. It completely changed the way I conceptualized programming as a whole. You start feeling deja-vu every time you open a new language, and the "ah-ha!" feeling you get when you see something in another language you had to think about when implementing your own is super rewarding.

A year later (this summer) I used Crumb to land my first job at a pretty cool startup! The payoff was way more than I could have ever expected.
If we had the technology allowing us to move a full satellite through the solar system, we could probably do it in a way that would just make Mars a bit closer to the sun so that the weather gets nicer (sure, if it gets too close to earth it's going to mess up with both orbits, but we can as well correct it when it happens, right?)
In Alabama the LCS was being built - it took roughly twenty years end to end to deliver. Aside from giant cost and time overruns since it was completed there’s been a struggle with learning to effectively use the ship.

All in all though seeing a tri-hull warship on your morning commute is a cool treat. It had been front and center of Austal’s hangar doors for a long time.

Calling something a fallacy does not mean it truly is one. I have not seen strong evidence that there is not a "lump of labor" in extremely high-rent countries like the US.

For a sufficiently small period of time, there absolutely is a "lump of labor". If I were to go into a county with robots and rent them out to employers for 1/4 of the wage of their current employees, and they all fired their employees and accepted my robots, do you really believe that all of ex-employees would be able to find work again within 6 months? Or even 70% of them? What about their new wages? Do you think these new jobs would pay as well? I have a hard time believing that to be the case.
You and me both. I consider switching a few times a year just for this.

Except for the pricing estimate for the private tutor and related 26x cheaper comparison.
People generally don't hire private tutors to have lessons every workday of the week. No I think it would make sense for do so even leaving out financial cost.
It is more like once a week session with take away homework (maybe twice a week for a quite intense level). This brings cost comparison down to the 5x time (10x for twice a week). Still quite impressive.
I am not averse to that but the cooling is an issue. I have the most excess power in the summer. From what I have read I cannot use exterior temperature air which can be 95-105 in summer. Is there any inexpensive water cooling setup for them?

> Then they should just not mention data collection at all if there is no agreement on

This treaty is supposed to supersede the Budapest Convention. The Budapest Convention is explicitly in favor of data privacy (a number of it's data privacy norms influenced the GDPR).

Either data collection mandates are left to individual states or the same deadlock that happened with the Budapest Convention would happen again.

> it would be better to have no convention at all

Then you're left with the status quo that every nation that isn't a party of the Budapest Convention can use 3rd party groups to hack a rival, which leads to chaos.
this is a bad faith response and you know it.
> What are those other observations that point to expansion?

The apparent brightness and apparent angular size of distant galaxies, and more importantly, the relationship between the three observables of redshift, apparent brightness, and apparent angular size. No known model other than the expanding universe predicts the actually measured relationship between those three observations.

> started making noise, and it was apparent that people across the room could hear the noise." Sarna suggested that Brandt and Darwin could move to a different area

“I approached someone whose infant could be heard across the room and politely asked that she move somewhere else within that same room” is a great line to take because it doesn’t make any sense at all. The only ways to deal with a noise that can be heard across the room are to either ignore it or find a way to remove the source of the noise from the room.

Since everyone agrees that it wasn’t the former, the latter makes way more sense than baby musical chairs.
