The bulk of the opening invites are going to either state friends or significant donars.

The rebuild fund donars arguably had no expectation of invitations when they put put up cash many years back to fund the rebuild.

It was reported that the block of French Luxury goods companies that put in over $500 million even went so far as to not claim that contribution as a tax break.

So they put in money, but not for tickets and some didn't even use it as a tax break.
Zigbee is good, but for lights or anything else you really want to always work, I'd recommend going with something that also works independently of HomeAssistant and Internet access even if you then need a proprietary hub to integrate with HomeAssistant. Lutron's Caseta system is what I went with.

I've found HomeAssistant with Zigbee to be extremely reliable, but the idea that a botched software upgrade or failed VM could make it so I can't turn my lights on and off feels like a bit too much. Caseta doesn't use an open protocol, but it does allow all your switches, remotes, lights, etc, to work totally independently of HomeAssistant or Internet/WiFi, and the hub allows integration with home automation or remote control. I've played around with Philips Hue and other smart bulbs, but it feels too much like a toy rather than something I'd replace all of my lights with, and ultimately I ended up with an all Caseta light setup for my home.
And I broke 1 phone in 15 years. Yeah, losing one every 2 years is somewhat extreme.
Were you standoffish and angry enough that you managed to prevent the kids from having a fun party? It sounds like good harmless fun- dancing, games, pizza, and toys/prizes. The only negative to me is that the loudness and dancing can be overwhelming for some kids.
Inbound data is typically free on cloud VMs. CPU/RAM usage is also small unless you use chromedriver and scrape using an entire browser with graphics rendered on CPU. We're taking $5/mo for most scraping projects
No, the parent has it right. This practice has gone on for decades, with most rock music of the 60s (Beatles, Beach Boys come to mind) having the mono mix as the definitive version with artist input, and the stereo mix thrown together by a lone engineer in an afternoon after the fact.

Yeah, Ricky Jay was the last of a breed (he was also a friend of a friend, something I only learned after both he and the friend had died). He was very schooled in a lot of the street con games and was also a scholar of historical frauds and cams. He published a small-circulation magazine with his researches in the latter.

And of course his appearances in various David Mamet–related properties were not to be missed.

Some of us think the US's predicament with lethal injection drugs is quite funny and bringing back firing squads would improve things.
As far as I know, the US bans all tobacco advertising on TV. And obviously adults can still smoke.
My (maybe incorrect) understanding is that Zigbee devices can't independently pair with each other, so if you want a particular switch to control a particular light you still need some sort of controller to be operating even if it's on your own local network. This is better than requiring Internet access, but a notable reliability downgrade from normal light switches unless your controller is 100% bulletproof.
Mass surveillance takes active maintenance, and most of its direct consequences cannot outlive the last of those subject to it. Alteration of the chemical composition of the atmosphere is expected to persist for millennia, with consequences that won't be felt for centuries. They're analogous only in that the same societal forces drive both: but trying to tackle those forces head-on is operating on such a high level of abstraction that you'd be wasting your time.

Start small. Get your kid's school to take the CCTV out of the toilet rooms. There's no such problem as "facial recognition" or "mass surveillance": there are many specific instances of it. Fight those.
The individual tracking systems were getting secretly installed at a local to me state school about 10 years ago. It's got to be pretty advanced by now.
As I wrote above, health insurers ultimately have to answer to their customers. Those are mainly employers, especially large companies with self-funded health plans. Those employers are constantly pressing insurers to cut medical expenses, and so sometimes insurers tighten coverage rules on their standard health plans in order to close more sales.

Payers do make errors in claims processing and improperly deny some claims, but the majority of denials are due to errors on the provider side. They often fail to code claims correctly or don't obtain required prior authorization or don't follow step therapy or fail to attach enough clinical documentation to establish medical necessity. Many of those initial denials are later approved once the provider corrects the errors and resubmits the claim. But in fairness to the providers, it's hard to get everything right the first time because every payer has different rules and they're sometimes ambiguous.

Why are Lutron Caseta or RadioRA any different than a locally-hosted Home Assistant installation with an attached Z-Wave or Zigbee radio?

Why is "work[s] totally independently of Home Assistant" a desirable property?

I've used it plenty. In fact it's what I used primarily on the lap dock. However, I think it's pretty poor. Android apps really don't feel natural in windows. The window management is generally poor. I like pinning windows to half of the screen, using keyboard shortcuts. Having a consistent clipboard across apps. I think it's an ok solution, but everything runs a bit slow and feels stilted. It doesn't help that wireless solutions have pretty severe refresh rate and lag issues, and usb c makes the setup a bit inelegant. It came in handy a few times that I wanted to do text input and my phone wouldn't be ideal. That's it.
The problem is that self-restraint only takes you so far. Typos exist. Human mistakes exist. Machine errors exist. Malicious inputs exist.

A good parser does not just accept the inputs you find valid, but also rejects inputs you deem invalid. Running a linter that would report or amend all the footgun-wielding features of yaml before parsing is tanamount to running another parser. Then why bother :)
Philosophy of Software Design had the most impact on my general naming and structuring. Just some really great advice in a sub 200 page book
Well, if you make a cheeseburger $70 sales will fall too. My Alma mater charges more than 4x what I paid 20 years ago for tuition. The systematic refunding of schools has led to this rise in tuition. The rich can afford it and the poor will be forced to forego higher education, instead being trained by echo chambers on the internet. Sadly, I can't say this was engineered, but I don't see the pattern breaking any time soon. I could see tuition going into 7 digits for private schools in the next 10 years.
I've often wondered what would happen if I wandered around with a bright IR led flashing on my lapel at about 30 or 60 Hz and sufficiently invisible to human eyes yet low wavelength enough to get into most CMOS chips and dazzle the camera.

I think this on shopping trips routinely. I don't like being surveiled and even though I have nothing to hide (I've never shoplifted in my life!) I hate the persuasive nature of it all. I don't even mind being followed by a human that much, but I do mind algorithmic analysis that is far more effective, scary, and invasive. Sadly I think the answer to this experiment would be being asked to leave or an uncomfortable chat with a policeman. Nevertheless I silently would like someone braver than me to try it. You're allowed to wear a light on your clothes -- why not make it an IR one?
Agree to disagree I guess. The double standard in my eyes is that because an elite was murdered there’s an outcry for justice from the wealthy. When the police shoots someone or when there is a school shooting it’s just “thoughts and prayers” or “they were probably a criminal anyway”.

I do see both sides but the opposite of what you mention though - the ones that sympathize with the CEO are wealthy people who believe almost any method to make money is legitimate, or support the existing healthcare system because it hasn’t screwed them yet. If you think the healthcare system is messed up then you tend to support the killer.

Because math is the tool while physics and engineering are the application.

So, now instead of one concept you have two unfamiliar concepts--one of which is far removed from your pedagogy.

It sucks, but there just aren't that many straightforward applications of abstract math classes.
It's a university project, so it wouldn't have been expected to be perfect. I had to do something similar as an assignment, but if I had the choice, I would have chosen anything else because the project was anything but fun.

Intel 4 resulted in slight performance regressions for laptops, but battery life improvements because they moved everything except the CPU cores over to TSMC. Intel 3 was late. Intel 20A was cancelled. Intel 18A isn't here, and neither is the CEO in charge of the above strategy.

To be honest, the real problem isn't that there is no way to mark this up, is that even if there WAS a way to mark this up, most people wouldn't because it's not a browser API. People don't even use RSS because browsers don't tell users about RSS links. There needs to be a tangible consequence of using a tag for people to bother with it.

I wish desktop OSes had evolved with such a model in mind. There is no reason why a calculator should be capable of reading my downloads folder — in fact, I'd even prefer it if I had to give explicit permission to access my network, Internet included. Maybe software wouldn't be so liberal with data collection if we had started requiring such stringent permissions way back when.
what if you move the microphones and speakers at varying but precise speeds so that doppler shift can be used to shift frequencies? you could play a tone on the speaker, shift the relative velocity (spin the microphone really fast?) and calibrate a frequency range of the microphone. with a calibrated mic frequency range, you can now calibrate that range of the speaker. repeat. each calibration step is going to accumulate error. to be clear, not a practical solution, but fun to theorize.
“This doing of something about disputes, this doing of it reasonably, is the business of the law. And the people who have the doing of it in charge, whether they be judges or sheriffs or clerks or jailers or lawyers, are officials of the law. What these officials do about disputes is, to my mind, the law itself.”

TL;DR There's simply no grounds for rat-molesters to feel so triggered.

No-one is saying "hacker" means someone who is allergic to mouses, it's not what's being said whatsoever. The Nyxt page there unfortunately leans a bit too heavily on the "keyboard" bit, but the fact that that has taken off as a hot take here in this HN discussion is nonetheless an inaccurate reading of the project.

The point being made is that it's a browser for people who want to configure a browser in Common Lisp, i.e., what's sometimes called "power users" (I don't love that term, personally). It's fully FOSS, and the expected audience is people who know their way around terminals, IDEs, Emacs, vim, and so on.

These types of people often learn the available shortcuts in order to get around faster. Not always. However, programmers and tinkerers who like keyboard shortcuts are first-class citizens in Nyxt, is the point. Vim and Emacs keybindings are available out of the box.

However, CUA bindings and mouse-manipulation are also both fully supported. So, there's no issue.

> The only thing that JSON is really missing are comments and trailing commas.

The reason JSON doesn't have comments [1]:

I removed comments from JSON because I saw people were using them to hold parsing directives, a practice which would have destroyed interoperability. I know that the lack of comments makes some people sad, but it shouldn't.

Suppose you are using JSON to keep configuration files, which you would like to annotate. Go ahead and insert all the comments you like. Then pipe it through JSMin before handing it to your JSON parser.

That "article" appears to be a promotion for a test to detect maple syrup fraud in Canada.

It doesn't say maple syrup fraud is common in the US. It does cite an article about someone who bought fake syrup from a random "trucker" on the internet, but that article explicitly says it's not a big issue.
Right, true. Thanks.
I suggest improving the probing a little. Something like

becomes

Salt does not affect the pH of a solution. pH is the ratio of H to OH atoms in a solution, salt is NaCl, which provides neither.

Seawater is alkaline, not acidic due to dissolved coral structures (carbonate hardness). Acidification of seawater is a major concern for coral life since they can't deposit calcium into their skeletons below like 7.4 pH
I think in the JSON case its because you can't have true comments, any comments are intrinsically part of the data structure, and you invite problems by including irrelevant information
With zigbee you can “bind” devices together, so that their interactions work without needing the hub to intervene. I bound my IKEA buttons to my IKEA lights with my homeassistant controller (with some difficulty) so that even when the controller is offline the buttons will still work.
I still find it confusing - was that a thing, historically, that the mere use of Common Lisp meant that the thing written in Common Lisp was considered "AI"? I thought it was a general-purpose, high-level language, that was sometimes used for projects which might be called Artificial Intelligence projects, depending on the whims of authors.

Or is something more specific being referred to?
You think I should instead list on redfin/zillow instead? Never considered it before. Do you know of any others?

Yeah, the issue is pretty specific to big corps. I'm not gonna take on a huge workload and drama to get someone fired.

To be more specific, lay off difficulties are at the complex of a ton of corporate management failures. These include poor oversight and supervision, legal paranoia, and low skin in the game.

Personally, I don't mind that "content creator" is a thing, but what irks me is that, at least in the Youtube I see, "content creator" is the ONLY thing.

If I search for ANYTHING, I get a tutorial, or tips, or some clickbait like "I had no idea about this!" Every video is by someone whose job is Youtube. The giveaway is that all of them have custom thumbnails. Someone who just made a random video about something and posted on the free video platform wouldn't even have bothered getting a custom thumbnail for it. You can't find those videos, at all. At this point it wouldn't surprise me if a custom thumbnails was a requirement for the algorithm to consider your video even if it isn't spelled out anywhere.
Not to mention that the first couple of responses were very professional. At some point you just have to call a spade a spade, or not suffer fools, or whatever expression you prefer.

My current theory is that it's a reaction to being so disgusted with the values of the outgroup that they reject everything that the outgroup supports. You can see the other version of this by people who want nothing do with Tesla/Musk because of his political views. Environmental activism, and, say, gender activism (the real hot-button one) have a similar flavor, so if one is disgusted by activism in general, or a specific activism, one might just reflexively reject the other. Just like Musk's political views are unrelated how well a Tesla car matches your transportation needs.

It doesn’t, quoting strings does solve almost all issues, but it does leave potential footguns for the future.

If you don’t enforce it, in the future the “subset of YAML” property might get weaker, especially if someone else is modifying the config.

If you treat config files the same as code, then using a safe subset of YAML is the same as using a safe subset of C. It is theoretically doable, but without extensive safeguards, someone will eventually slip up.
