Ah, yes, I've been asked to use Microsoft Teams for a call. But only once? How is the OS manufacturer behind the curve on popularity if it's integrated into Windows 10 and Office already? It's just quite surprising. I don&#x2

Certainly I can see Microsoft simply integrating video chat into the Office suite. I'm kind of shocked they haven't yet really solved real-time collaboration given that they own Skype and Office.

I agree that it will be an arms race between AI researchers in competing militaries between ease of getting around defenses and making attacks ineffective. Of course any country not in on it will be far, far, far, far behind. The idea of a

Same for apartments if you want any hope of fighting bogus claims on security deposits. For some reason all the contracts I've seen want a written description of damage. That just isn't enough. Take photos of everything you find b

The article, probably because it's how the government decided to spin it, is conflating paperwork errors with everything from industrial espionage (i.e. professor tells the company paying them about research done in their lab for anoth

Slightly ambiguous because I think the GP actually meant something like "enforcement may decline (to penalize or press charges)" which is definitely true and likely the case if 90% of these are paperwork errors. There are definite

The crime is signing the form saying that what you reported is true when you accepted federal money. That's what makes it a possible felony. If they disclosed the funding source it is possible they wouldn't have access to as many

I didn't see any specific proposed punishments in the article other than some people no longer being allowed to review articles for some journals. Having gotten grants and attended the "if you lie about using US money it is a felo

I don't know if it's true or if it works, but the article addresses this by saying that they can go into I guess non-networked mode where no one, not even the operators, can contact it. If it gets certain conditions it will send o

Sure, if the title was, "Workings of a boron hydrogen fusion reactor." It's not, it's a life interest story, obviously so from the title. History of science isn't a review article but it is still history and some sc

Optimizing for rapidly growing the customer base (both restaurants and diners) over short term profitability. It's understandable, if a terrible actual plan. I guess they feel they have to grow fast enough that people don't just i

I mean, that's fair, but I also think this is well enough understood as to be obvious... maybe a comment about it would have been good for context but it did come across as a technology article. Of course burning wood produces more par

I agree, I'd been singing a lot since I was 7, including touring Europe when I was 11. I didn't stop practicing at any point in there but also never had access to professional voice teachers because of the cost. Taking a single co

To be fair, 1990 is 30 years ago. I remember how much of a hero Magic Johnson was presented as being for simply publicly admitting he got it during surgery and advocating. It was brave for a multi-millionaire celebrity to admit publicly tha

I just want to comment that the author for this one is a fantastic writer. At each section I was wondering, "wait, why wouldn't you..." and it was consistently literally the next section. Very impressive ability to predict a

Yeah, I just got a colleague a laptop because their kids are using theirs all day. I think most people do not have a computer per person at home... especially with younger kids.

Is that just because the total number of jobs that would be considered to be in your field went up by 10x in the last 20 years?

Except for the owners of the company, they get to pocket the difference... But of course this is less about tech workers that are already getting outsourced because the, well, workers are more technically savvy anyway so of course it happen

I don't understand the function enough to comment about how cool it is, but I do know that COBS is an overloaded term "consistent overhead byte stuffing" which I use all the time as a way to transfer binary data packets. You

True, I suppose some mismatched or buggy hardware is a bigger issue in laptops. Like it's a pretty big problem if the wifi driver on my laptop is buggy in Linux, though nowadays that likely means it's buggy in Windows anyway. The

Thanks, I really appreciate the review. It looked good but a little pricey to me, I noticed Acer and others have ryzen 3 and 5 laptops now so I think there are a lot of options. I'm skeptical that the market for users who want Linux pr

100% Agreed. I've been doing consulting on and off for over a decade (with a few full time jobs along the way) and in that time I have found two clients as inbound leads due to my website. On the other hand, calling people or emailing

How did you manage that? TLDR -- Event structures are my favorite new feature. Try them out and see if you still hate LabView nearly as much. I also suggest not actually using any of your GUI variables. Treat these like declarations and u

The labview "linter" is of course weirder but I think this is basically one. https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361R-01/lvvianal... PS. Please don't take this as an endorsement of

I remember as a kid that there was a thing called Visual C++ which sounds like what you're describing. It let me draw a GUI and connect functions to button actions or entry field contents. Now I just use emacs and gcc because I write e

Yeah, I've been using labview for almost twenty years. I use it because I can hand it to a biologist and have a modest chance they can understand it, plus for me it's easier to make a UI with it since I just never learned that. Bu

And obviously being paid as per her first quoted remark. It's different to be a whistle blower when you aren't sitting on a big savings account, other people's problems stop being a high priority.

I think that calling something a pyramid scheme here is intended to be descriptive rather than a specific accusation of wrongdoing. If something is in fact a pyramid scheme it doesn't much matter if the people in charge are smart enoug
