Do you have any good suggested reading material on how to look at chips in the way that you mean? I have no knowledge when it comes to this type of hardware.

Thanks for that.

Hey! This is a pretty cool tool. As a nitpick, I think that the pricing page is off. $500 for a year, as opposed to $50 a month, is not a 20% savings.

I found this to be incredibly damning. There is a tweet thread by Evan Hill that outlines this more simply:

This is what I prompted it. Actually very surprised with the results. Conceptually it did a good job:

This is really cool. What is your data source and how did you build this out because as far as I know, companies like Carvana, Vroom, and Carmax are quite silo’d and ostensibly don’t have an API that’s public facing?

The original title of "Biden administration preparing to sanction Russia for SolarWinds hacks and the poisoning of an opposition leader" was too 32 characters too long to fit.

However, any path towards a cleaner, more environmentally sound future requires the mass adoption of electric. Fossil Fuels are named as such for a reason. Getting caught up on growth is an inappropriate lens in this context.

I think back to the line "MF DOOM, he's like D.B. Cooper" off of Hoe Cakes on the album MM..FOOD. He always was an enigma, and I guess having your passing be a secret for that long, for someone that influential, in the age of social media, just goes to show that it wasn't just an act.

I can understand that this wasn't meant in malice, but still comes off quite distasteful.

I've never really found Glassdoor to be accurate at all. The numbers are so off base and I find it a bit upsetting that sometimes Glassdoor data gets shown in the Google widget thing when I search up salaries at companies I want to apply to because of how wrong it is. I've noticed unscrupulous recruiters use that as a way to try to price people down.

It seems more appropriate to chain articles not from the first discussion but the more active discussion. That thread was very active and growing but in removing that from visibility as a “dupe” it kills off most discussion by relegating the content back to the second page.

I'd politely disagree. While the main content is much the same, the article I linked was quite a bit more substantial than what Space.com had.

I love the this to be honest. More people should build with a sense of fun and whimsy.

For reference the E6-B is a “doomsday” plane that can serve as an airborne mobile command center even if the situation on land is compromised.

I appreciate the transparency of the data collection. I go to Levels for my first look over the Glassdoor’s of the world because I can actually trust the provenance of the data.

Is there a particularly good resource around accessibility for websites for people who have trouble seeing or are blind?

Traditionally I always run screenshots and colors through colorblind check simulators, though I'm sure there's a lot more that I can do.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

On a purely aesthetic level, I these charts. I wish more charts gave the succinct breakdowns of many entries compromise each object on the graph, and what percentile corresponds to what number. It'd be great if scientific publishing sites tried to make interactivity online a key focus.

Does anyone have any opinions on this vs. the Sony Digital Paper?

Hey! No need to apologize! Just wanted to offer you a different perspective.

With all due respect, while I know that you didn't mean to come across as such, some may find those comments a bit patronizing. My "fighting tooth and nail" isn't complete when I went from a 3rd World existence to a 1st World existence. I'm very much here to win "in the big leagues". Without trying to sound too much like a Bond villain, I too am seeking to change the world in ways that I think are meaningful, without giving a damn what others think. I too have aspirations of being at the top of the world and molding it into the way that I think that it should be. I find the ideas of people who approach the world with this discontentment, which seems sophomoric to me instead of insightful, to be rather milquetoast. The elite are disillusioned because they're comfy. They convince themselves that they need to derive more meaning and get caught up in the performative nature of their life which is directly a result of their privilege. Most people who actually do change the world, at least in a capitalistic manner, bring an edge and killer instinct, often refusing to accept that they're not the best, or even if they aren't that they are required to act differently in accordance. This whole story came across to me as someone who folded at the first sign of any self-inflected psychological query. Much of the rest of the world would kill to get to Harvard, whether for the pure reasons of seeking knowledge at the world's most renowned college, or to play the game of life to get ahead.

I want to also bring up one more observation that addresses the psychological aspect that the author addressed when he said elite colleges close doors psychologically, by describing manual work as beneath them. I've gotten to know some people who come from the world of the elites, and I've found it farcical and disturbing how often people do performative bullshit like send their kids to work construction jobs in the summers before college to learn about things like "the meaning of hard work". If I was to send my hypothetical children to work in construction, it'd be to learn construction with the view of deriving real world capitalistic value from it, not as some performative mind-body exercise.

John Adams, one of the Founding Fathers, said:

"I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain."

This quote illustrates to me perfectly why wealth is typically destroyed in 3 generations, or at least why that stereotype exists. The rigor and knowledge disappears as the elites become more concerned with the optics of what they are doing, instead of the actual work at hand. It's precisely why I brought up my lens of being an immigrant. My future kids will probably never have the hunger and edge with which I work, but I hope to distill in them rigor, and hope that they can bring that intensity that I still lack today.

I find a lot of the skepticism and disillusionment rather unwarranted and whiny. I went to a well regarded public college for Undergrad. I am now at one of the most well regarded private colleges in the country. I can absolutely see the difference in the quality of instruction and opportunities afforded to Undergrads here compared to my public college. A lot of this seems to be much ado about nothing.

To add some context, I'm an immigrant to the US. I came here for opportunity. A lot of people are uncomfortable with what that means. It isn't some Eddie Murphy "Welcome to America" kumbaya, happy-go-lucky thing. I came here with my family to out work and out compete everyone for the shot at a better life. If you look at any STEM class, as opposed to any non-STEM class, the makeup of people in those classes in both Undergrad, and especially Graduate levels, is much closer to being representative of people who look like me rather than the general public/college demographics. In immigrant populations there is no disillusionment with the elite institutions in America, and more broadly, the American Dream.

Hey man, if you want a friend to talk to, happy to do that!

Well that's what I'm asking about. What social hacking principles possibly were used here? What is the understanding that the attacker has about the people inside the company and how security is at companies like this to pull off a breach like this?

Thank you so much!

I used an ultra fine point and covered it in a tiny hard wax ball to clean off my AirPods. I bet they're cleaner than even new ones at this point. No clue why they still sound so faint.

I've restarted both the phone and computer, and let the batteries drain to 0% on the AirPods.

I have a question to ask you all. If I wanted to study things to get to the point where internally/externally I could coordinate a hack of this magnitude, what things do I need to study? What are the technical things needed to pull something like this off? What are the social corporate things I needed to know to pull this off? I know that we don't have specifics, but I'm asking as a pure academic exercise how much I'd need to know to pull this off, and how to get away with it too.

Does anyone have a problem with their AirPods (not Pro) suddenly seeming dead silent? I've cleaned my AirPods very carefully and they are spotless. I've also had my ears cleaned out, but my AirPods seem to be whisper quiet. I've done all the tricks of trying to reconnect and disconnect and checked all the volume settings. Any advice here would be really welcome.
