Hey, congrats on trying to put yourself out there and also reflecting on how to improve things!

There’s probably many things you could experiment with. My suggestion for a simple start would be to reframe from “when I try to contribute” to “how can I help someone continue the conversation?”.

So for your travel example, people may not want a second retelling of what they just heard. But what if instead you asked “did you get to see X? What did you think of it?”. It shows the speaker you were listening and engaged, gives them the opportunity to continue their story, and gives you both the opportunity to have a shared experience.

What is or isn't illegal depends on where you live. Where I live, using any kind of digital secret to do something you shouldn't be doing is technically illegal. Guessing admin/admin or guest/guest is illegal, even if they're public knowledge, as long as you could reasonably know you're not supposed to log in.

Generally, law enforcement and judges don't blame you as long as you use best practices, but you need to adhere to responsible disclosure very strictly in order for this not to be something the police might take an interest in.

Demonstrating the insecurity of a 512 bit key is easy to do without cracking a real life key someone else owns; just generate your own to show it can be done, then use that as proof when reporting these issues to other companies. The best legal method may be to only start cracking real keys if they ignore you or deny the vulnerability, or simply report on the fact you can do it and that the company/companies you've reached out to deny the security risk.

Companies that pay for disclosure won't get you into trouble either way, but companies that are run by incompetent people will panic and turn to law enforcement quickly. White-hat hackers get sued and arrested all the time. You may be able to prove you're right in the court room, but at that point you've already spent a ton of money on lawyers and court fees.

In this case, the risk is increased by not only cracking the key (which can be argued is enough proof already, just send them their own private key as proof), but also using it to impersonate them to several mail providers to check which ones accept the cracked key. That last step could've easily been done by using one's own domains, and with impersonation being a last resort to prove an issue is valid if the company you're reporting the issue to denies the risk.
There’s some decent advice in this thread already. I think it’s a great idea to work on vocal modulation, tone, pacing , etc. Nearly everyone could benefit from improving those aspects of their speech.

What I might suggest is a different approach, though not mutually exclusive. There seems to be a strong emotional undertone to your question that leads me to believe you’re not just looking for ways to improve your speach but also grappling with existential questions about your place and value. For those I would suggest you seek out a therapist and start speaking with them as transparently as possible about your thoughts and feelings, so that you can work through those issues (insofar as they exist).

It isn't a case of perfect being the enemy of good, it is that you're looking at what might potentially be the most corrupt, captured and incapable healthcare regulator in the modern world and advocating that they get even more power. That seems like a bad strategy. The US healthcare system won't be fixed by dissociating patients from the process even further.

The obvious thing to do is move power away from the regulator and make it easier for consumers to pay directly for treatment. It works for almost everything else.
At the (current) expense of strapping something big and bulky to my face.

After a long day of wearing glasses sometimes they fatigue me out slightly, just having to wear something on my face. I can't imagine what that would be like strapping a VR headset on.
I will also take note of this, you are right.
There is definitely a market for it - though a small one.

I had a 3x pi cluster and found the 8GB limiting. So made those the controlling nodes and bought orange pis 32gb for the worker nodes. And those were well north of 120.

But that kind of usage case is quite niche. For most people minipcs are probably a better fit in that price class.

I'm unconvinced by the LLM argument...even if the model fits...it's already slow for 8GB class models.

Direct booking needs to make a come back. Middleman platforms got too comfortable charging increasingly large fees to both seller and buyers while providing less and less value. I personally started booking direct from hotels and airfares unless I'm forced otherwise or direct is pricier.
Pretty much all sports (soccer might be a singular exception) are "regional" in this sense.

Enshittification is a real thing, and AirBnB suffers from it like all every other major digital services platforms.
I don't currently have much experience with thread safety, but it's something I should look into. Thank you.
> But if I had to guess, you inadvertently made someone in the registrar's office look bad. They probably had to answer to "why didn't you think of this?

That was my initial thought too. The upside is that that "someone" likely has a boss who called them out - so there may well be levels of the hierarchy that won't lose face by backing out of the exclusion decision. The challenge is to get their attention.

Also similar: Join a local Toastmasters group. This is a global organization where you learn and practice to speak in front of a group, both prepared speeches and spontaneous. It may find weird to join it, but I would advice to visit one once in your neighborhood: They are all super friendly and I have seen dozens of people come in and move from shy and awkward to great storytellers in just a year or so.
"Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders"

Maybe it will evolve into a revival of the earthy warm color schemes of the 70s. Beige and brown, but also yellows, greens, oranges, etc. That wouldn't be so bad.

It's all cyclical; we've been here before.

As long as we don't go back to the nightmarish patterned carpets of the 1970s...
You’re confused, what you have in mind is Electron. NodeJS et al. use a JS engine, not a browser engine. NodeJS does not have DOM rendering or even parsing for instance.
The mainstream French word for poka yoke is "détrompeur" but I prefer its obscure and vulgar vernacular "détrompe couillon" ("couillon" has no exact English equivalent, but you might know its Italian cousin "coglione").

Whichever name one prefers, hurray for simple interlocks that save the lives and limbs or tired inattentive operators. Dioxygen and nitrous oxide in surgical operating rooms using different connectors is a great example.
> How does she feel about having the accusation of being sad and beige levelled against her? “Pretty neutral.”

I'm sure that response was cleverly edited (or a masterfully self-aware joke), but it sure demonstrates how the decor reflects their attitude. "If I don't survive, tell my wife 'Hello'", indeed.
Well there are already lightweight options like xreal air and it seems like full scale VR that you can wear all day is going to happen very soon
A masochist.

I've ranted about this before on HN so won't too much now, but suffice to say over the years I've tried to use a Pi for multiple different projects, and it's very rare that anything ever just works, even following apparently clear tutorials. I always run into issues somewhere installing packages from the linux and/or python ecosystems.

If all you need is a base Raspbian install, fair enough; but anything more complicated and you're likely heading for a world of hurt, trying random 'solutions' from years-old Ubuntu forum and StackOverflow posts.
How do you watch the incoming waveform if you drive your own waveform on the same line? I guess you could look periodically.
I like collecting little ideas like this. Slightly meta-ironically I'd describe the genre as "just abstract enough to be useful nuggets of knowledge" and I have an org file full of them. The hard part is I don't know any better name for such "concepts" so I can't search for other people's lists.

Does anyone else keep a similar collect or have advice for finding more?

(For example Gurwinder sometimes posts lists like this: https://www.gurwinder.blog/p/30-useful-concepts-spring-2024 - that's what I'm talking about.)
I have never heard about this (using valgrind with a "non-standard allocator"), but it looks really interesting, specially for other projects I am working on. I will definitely look into it.
> Do we have studies for this

For many values of 'this' in the medical domain, yes.

> Don't fotget about "accidents" that spread Polio by vaccination

Err, the Cutter incident spread Polio via live polio virus rather than by Polio vaccination.

Absolutely an example of a serious and deadly Quality Control f*ckup that led to a complete change in how vaccine production was approached.
If you want me to refer to private polling you're going to need to hint which poll you mean. I'm working off public data which was pretty accurate on aggregate, there weren't any surprises on election night which was something of a https://www.xkcd.com/1131/ moment.

Eyeballing https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/ it looks to be in 1-sigma territory or maybe just venturing in to 2-sigmas.
That initial response is silly. They expect everyone to have perfect information about their destination before booking?
Milk is a byproduct of producing meat, and its a fallacy to see it in isolation.

Plantmilks are firstorder product.

This means that clinate impact of most plantmilks are higher than milks, excepting oat and ryemilk.

On a cost note - : making oat milk is literally just blending some oats and let them soak a day or 2, filter the water and done, perhaps do that if cost is an issue?

On a sidenote, if you drink soy, almond or worse ricemilk you're actually doing something worse for the climate/environment
the big point you are missing is the denial of paying for treatment after it has been applied.

in germany (and probably most other european countries) you can be denied treatment if it is deemed unimportant and it is known that insurance does not cover it. you will never be put in a situation where treatment is applied but then the insurance doesn't pay leaving you with the bill unless you were made aware that the treatment is optional or you specifically chose a treatment that you could not be sure would be paid. payment for any treatment that is not optional can not be denied. if there is uncertainty you can also ask your insurer in advance, and they must give you a binding response whether the proposed treatment will be paid or not.

most importantly the doctors must inform the patient in advance if the treatment is insured or not. if they don't tell them that something is not insured then they can't demand payment from the patient.

you will never face a surprise bill.
I hate when companies do nothing to help their customers, unless a national newspaper gets involved. Looks even worse than doing nothing.
Airbnb has made me really appreciate a good old-school hotel. Find a nice one, and it's so much nicer than any airbnb I've stayed in.
Lol at grayver. I guess my beard now counts.

In my corner of the woods back in the 90's, we also had the occasional "graver" (no y) who were mixing up rave and goth aesthetics.
Newsflash, Raspbian is just another Linux distro, which means you can still follow the same tutorials on other distributions, Debian is the closest. Unless you play with drivers, bootloaders, Kernel hacking, or try to integrate with another embedded platform, you wouldn't see a much difference.
I used to have a soft voice and would constantly be spoken over, and not really listened to. I also look very young (I am late 30s and
I still get IDed when buying alcohol).

Some things that helped me:

- I grew a beared that accentuated my jawline

- When people would begin to interrupt me, I would continue on with my sentence regardless of them speaking, and I would finish my sentence. I would be prepared to let it get a little awkward if they don’t get the hint at first

- Talking a lot more helped. Since having a baby, I talk to her all the time. I sing and talk loudly and energetically to her to make her laugh. I make up a wide array of characters with voices. This has changed the tone of my voice in that it is now deeper, less strained, and more powerful. I have noticed a difference in my confidence talking to people and how they listen to me.

- I noticed a difference in my interactions just after doing Yoga or meditation. Conversation is often about energy, and yoga or meditation can get you more attuned to giving the right amount.

- I noticed the less I cared the easier it got. I make sure that I am respectful and acknowledging of people, I am open and receptive to connecting with the right people, but it’s not my mission to be entertaining or interesting to others.

- If I feel like I am giving a lot more to the other person/people in the interactions, I start to look elsewhere for people that are more reciprocal with their interactions.

- I tried reading books on charisma, small talk, How to Win Friends and Influence People, etc. I don’t think any of this actually had much impact or it didn’t resonate with me. IMO, going to the gym is probably going to have a lot more impact to get people to listen to you than what books can offer.
The idea is exactly about channelling the competitive spirit to peaceful sport rather than war.

Athletes are not like diplomats, they're like warriors, except there's no killing.
I observed the same on me, and it bothered me for a long time.

besides the fact that todays society is way less capable to focus on long texts (spoken or read) but trained to constantly consume a permanent stream of quick, short, easy pieces,
there may some points you can actually do yourself.

check the way you speak. intelligent people tend to speak like written texts, trying to perfectly formulate their speech, to be correct, not to be misunderstood, to respect complex correlations...thus producing complex monologues, strenous to follow. combined with monotonous sound it can be really narcotic to listeners.
natural language is not for that. natural language is for dialogues.
also "nerds" tend to focus on matter-of-fact texts, only, while interhuman communication is way more, happens on way more levels. don't underestimate the non-verbal communication! it happens, if talkers are aware of it, want to, or not.

respect your audiance; don't underestimate them. some tend to always explain elaborated every single detail for no reason. this not only produces superfluid text but make your listeners feel you think they're stupid. let them ask if they don't understand. try to involve them into your thoughts, to do the talking more interacting.

is what you're going to tell as important or fascinating to others as it's for you? also my wive fades out often when I talk; I am highly interested in technical stuff. she being from liberal arts is not. but when the topic is real important like relationship stuff she's always full online, and I benefit a lot about the things where she's more improved as me.

besides to simplify your speech, you may loosen it up, consider to put some - few, light - entertainment elements in, maybe even a joke - even in experts talks.

the lesser one speaks, the more focus he or she gets if she or he says something.

this can be elaborated way longer - but this is neither the place, nor right medium to do it.

so, the most important point:

don't take it personal, and above all not too serious.
if you start to think it's because people think less of you, disrespect, or reject you, this may lead into depression.
and it's wrong.
most of the times it's simply people don't want to listen - to anybody.
most people don't want to listen, they want to talk.
for the rest:
even simple rethoric workshops help a lot.
check for evening classes or similar.
That's you not "people" who think that's insane by today's standard.
Ok then why don't they get paid a living wage by the countries they are representing? Wouldn't representing a country be a government job?

Otherwise they are private workers/entrepreneurs and as such should be paid by what their customers feel like they're worth. Creating software can be an unpaid hobby, a government job, a private job, or a personal business.

31% positive for those under 45, 8% positive for those above 45.

41% negative for those under 45, 77% negative for those above 45.

Not the majority, even for younger people. And remember, this is just U.S. opinion; people in other countries might view this differently (likely even more negatively).

I'd go further - AirBnB is virtually the poster-child for enshittification.

It was so good and so refreshing once upon a time; now it's just another profit-maximising f*k-the-customer corporation.
Why allow them to book if the place is literally on fire? That's like me going to a cafe, ordering and paying and immediately the staff tells me that electricity has been down for 3 hours and they can't fulfill the order. They also won't be able to refund my money because they have a strict no-refund policy.
Thank you for posting that info. I'd hate for the guy to want the applied computer-centric linear algebra only to find himself neck deep in a super rigorous course that might go deeper that he intended! Oof.

I should have posted the Math 257 description too. It also has lectures online as well as a synchronous Zoom component:

Introductory course incorporating linear algebra concepts with computational tools, with real world applications to science, engineering and data science. Topics include linear equations, matrix operations, vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, inner products and norms, orthogonality, linear regression, equilibrium, linear dynamical systems and the singular value decomposition.
There's a reason you wake up at 5:50am to copy paste course codes the moment registrations open up!
It's the term they used. Also, it's 30%, a significant percent.
Is this still covered by "Millennium Gray" trend or is it something new?
So, your query is only about informal conversational speech. That’s tougher to master because it’s not about the speech at all but rather its almost exclusively about deference and dominance.

First, let’s be clear that some people are just sociopaths and assholes. If you were only speaking to empaths that listen well and deeply cared for your contributions in their entirety this problem would almost never arise and would be an accident when it does arise. So, let’s just focus on the assholes.

People interrupt you for typically selfish reasons, because they stopped listening to you want just want to hear their own voice out loud. That could be due to impatience, possibly autism or ADHD, or it could be because they don’t value you. This is especially tough when it comes from people that love you.

1. The most immediate solution is to dominate with assertiveness. When somebody cuts you off call it out. Be confrontational and directly identify the problem and that you don’t like it. This doesn’t have be impolite but must be firm and immediate. This will solve the problem most of the time because the person cutting you is probably unaware of their behavior, how you feel, and has probably done this to you multiple times in the past.

If the person challenges you then remain firm without excuses. Most people aren’t prepared for confrontation and will back off, but if they are an asshole the only goal is to embarrass them in public. You don’t need to embarrass them as their behavior will speak for itself. You just need to remain firm without excuses or compromise.

2. If you are squeezed out of conversation by people that aren’t listening you can always walk away. If you walk away and nobody notices then they were never listening to you in the first place. Any attempt to interject yourself will be a Pyrrhic victory that wastes your energy and erodes your credibility unless your goal is to start a fight. This is especially true in echo chambers.

If you walk away and somebody does notice it’s on them to determine what’s of higher value: you or the group. Let them own that choice. Later it’s up to you how to handle that, but you must handle it or let yourself continue to be a doormat.

3. Be aggressive. This always works but rarely in a positive way. I really recommend saving this as a last case scenario. When this happens if your first response is to punch someone in the face other people around you will get the message but at the same time nobody will want to engage with you. You are too intimidating and if you are not prepared for a fight could get your ass kicked if they are equally aggressive. But, this always works. As an example I recommend a movie called The Green Book.
I use rpi zero 2 as a coding server (paired with my iphone and a splitted keyboard) when I have slow or no internet. It's quite usable if you just mosh/ssh into it and use emacs/vim to code.
In all seriousness, "thankyou for your service".

I'm an absolute middling athlete. In my 40s. Half a life spent at a desk. And then I picked up a bit of running/cycling as one does. And joined a local club, and became absolutely inspired by the people of all ages at the club entering competitions, doing big feats of endurance. Just for the love of the sport, or the thrill of achieving something difficult.

I'm still a middling athlete but now one that makes sure to fit in a bit of exercise each week and continues to make solid progress. So even if you haven't won any medals, you've likely inspired someone into making changes for the better.

Me too, there is no added value in Booking through Airbnb as they won't help you if their third parties won't deliver.
