This would be cool if I could broadcast to our set top boxes. My folks don't get along with streaming interfaces, but they can flip to a channel. edit: I might have it totally wrong, but our STB is QAM/IP. With a QAM modulator it

I missed this in a little curses program launcher I wrote. It looks obvious when he puts a big orange box around it, but in the actual docs it's an unassuming paragraph between two border-wrapped blocks with the only distinguishing fea

I usually just grab a fast device (SSD), and a 'watch -n 0.5 lsusb -t' command. It is enough to quickly see what bandwidth the device connects with. I went through everything this way when my usb bin overflowed. Now I have a 2.0,

I'm a vim-orgmode user. I more or less edit org markup with vim and a few helper commands. The main selling points for me were document production, and the ability to run code that generates part of the document. As a bonus org is kind

We had a teen swallow a coin cell and it was allowed to pass. The biggest factors for retrieval seem to be size, a small child may have the object stick, and then if the battery ruptures. The ER doctors seemed satisfied it hadn't done

The decision was (more or less) up to individuals before. A state decision is inherently more partisan.

The dialog could probably use some left/right padding or an alternate font to indicate it's not part of the main text. Initially I found it a bit unclear, and also hard to skim the article.

Renegade Cut did a video explaining some of the bullshit. Highlights just how little shoplifting affects the bottom line. "Let's talk about shoplifting" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGB7QnOZj3g

AI bias is interesting, but I still keep recalling back to Peter Watts' Rifters series. There AI are semi-organic and referred to as head cheeses. It's also amusing that the internet is taken over by AIs blasting ads and other tra

It would certainly be a lot more interesting if new Twitter had a real solution/policy for each of these situations. It just feels like a lot of mud-slinging, but to what end besides culture war points?

Where is current twitter's lawsuit if that's the case? There hasn't been anything released that indicates these moderation actions were taken under duress. Old twitter wanted to moderate their platform in that way.

There's nothing actionable about them. They're just ex post facto justification for Musk's overtly activist Twitter purchase. Supposedly he's excised this bad part of Twitter, but instead were finding the new Twitter is

Ban evasion was a thing long before shadow bans. I've seen persistent users disrupt IRC channels for years, maybe decades. You can't reason with or befriend somebody who holds a grudge that long. Moderators will just have to deal

Organization style probably. Where no one is particularly obligated to perform certain tasks, but people with similar problems implement solutions, sometimes as collective action.

Amazon is a lot more strict. I worked in a warehouse before and after Amazon bought the company. Afterwards all decisions came from high up. There is no employee consideration. Just a desire for better numbers so you will now suffer these d

For collusion to be noteworthy there still has to be a crime committed. The allegation in the Trump-Russia collusion case is that they conspired to have foreign operators influence the election. This would have been an illegal act that they

This is the same industry that pooh-poohed 2-person crew minimums. There is nothing that would convince them to look out for their workers, or actually be above board on safety considerations. https://www.railwayage.com/news

Somewhere I picked up the idea to place reflective tape on the inside of the rim between the spoke holes. Not really for side visibility, but for front/rear off-angle visibility I like it. You can alternate (say every 3) to produce a f

No, I'm criticizing the polling technique. A short window on a weekend, and directed at people who follow Musk. It has the same faults as letting legislators pick their constituents (districting).

I don't get the impression from 538's podcasts. He certainly found their 'deluxe' model more compelling, but he was also open to the possibility of Democrats performing better than it. Twitter just seems like a bad platf

There isn't much interesting or curious to discuss. We can all play guessing games about Musk's motivations or speculate on what will happen to Twitter/Elon/Truth/Trump. Elon unbanned in a opaque way. He tried to of

The alternative is being at the behest of foreign oil price manipulation. Moving away from oil seems like a pretty good way to prevent dipping into strategic reserves to me.
