AHOHA

I just buy corn and pop them naturally with popcorn machine, I don’t add anything, and it’s good and healthy!

It doesn’t work, site is down.

One of the platforms I built before used jquery and bootstrap, while it obviously do the job but I was looking to revamp the whole UI, svelte was one of the options as it’s close to vanilla js, react is troublesome unless you enjoy your app breaks next time you update it. The only thing I’m looking for, is there any component based svelte UI I can choose from and quickly build my UI, similar to bootstrap if that make sense, as I usually do embedded development and last thing I want is to work wuth css.

To be more exact on what I want to do: is a dynamic dashboard, where users can add widgets or/and resize them per needed.

Whenever I read RMS, two things immediately come to mind: root mean square, Richard Matthew Stallman.

Good idea, I’m registering the words “like” and “share” as a trademark and proceed to take down all social media posts.. win-win :)

Interesting, is there the opposite? Where I add the mesh and it will generate the function for me?

Interesting, no such things here, I found LED screens, routers/repeaters, tower PCs, lots of keyboards and peripherals, I even found hard disks in different sizes too. There are other laptops like Acer etc. I saw before, and other types of electronics like headphones, apple TV, kindle/kobo, car navi system, smart watches and so on. The only policy is test it at the store, there are no refunds or replacements, but for $5, doubt any will care.

I got a working Compaq TC4400 in great condition for $5 from the thrift store the other day.

>It is an intersting coincidence that ability to digest milk as an adult and fluency in English are correlated.

Last time I checked Scandinavia didn’t speak English, and so is Germany, France, Spain and the rest of Europe, neither as official language nor fluent. Your link between those is silly and incorrect, for one: as said most if not all of European aren’t English native speakers, and the biggest native English speakers are found in North America, specifically in the US, a country that obviously is a mix of all people and ethnicities, even the ones who call themselves “whites” are actually mixed to some degree, so if you consider the fluency in English as your baseline, then Americans from asians roots for example shouldn’t be lactose intolerant while some German dude who barely speaks English is?! That’s idiotic. Second: you are correlating something genetically inherited with something you can learn in the first few years, which is even sillier.

If you correlate that with race, then you might be correct, as maybe the majority of caucasians, asians, etc. are/aren’t lactose intolerant, but I never looked at any studies in that regard, but it will make sense at least.

And then I’m accused of having trust issues!!

I bet similar startups are now loosing investors and funds, and probably for manned ait vehicles it will be similar at some point, one incident of a rich dude..

Google seems still upset about the “bluebubbles”.. and I don’t think using AI to post process the photos is a good thing, like Samsung and the famous moon shot.. I’ve seen videos of people taking pics of a white circle in their bedroom and Samsung suddenly make it a moon in the sky, totally fake, not just some color correction and enhancements.

>but you can't do that when you are underwater at 4000m below the sea level.

True, but doesn’t that apply to most if not all parts in the submarine? In fact, you can easily pack like 10 of these joysticks in the submarine inventory.

But yeah I agree, I don’t think it’s been a controller issue.

Edit: Unless it was “lost” on purpose, it’s probably the crew doesn’t want to be found in the mean time, and having a billionaire on board also make things more interesting, maybe they are after some treasure hunting stuff.

>This is not the first time the Titan has gotten lost. On Monday, Pogue tweeted that during his report last summer about the Titan, the submersible got lost for a few hours as well (while Pogue was on the surface),

What’s wrong with Logitech controller? It’s good and reliable, I use it in the drone platform I built (in addition to xbox/ps4/ps5 controllers) and we flew the drone from the other half of this planet, this is like saying “oh your tank/car/whatever steering wheel or this component is only $150 so it’s bad!!”, that’s the idea of engineering, find/make reliable pieces at an affordable price, guess that contractor if they rebranded that joystick sensors and sold for $50000 then it will be better!?

The root cause isn’t what he mentioned, it’s simply corporates own North America and the government won’t do anything beyond the bare minimum for the infrastructure, and it’s in corps interest to have it car dependent, mix that with obesity of you average North American, nothing will change in that regard.

For example in Ontario Canada where he is from, the roads can get really bad with potholes and bumps, and only fixed after it’s classified as an off-road one.. and of course the excuse is as he mentioned, “it’s the snow!!”, so yep I agree, North Americans are professional at making excuses!

Sometimes you can “just use python”, like openwrt script or similar.

What a load of horse shit

>However, in none of these cases was there any evidence of a systematic attempt to commit genocide, destroy local culture or conduct a state licensed reign of terror.

The evidence is still there until today, it’s called the British museum, where they had a souvenir for each atrocity done through out that time.

You can write all books you like, claim whatever you want, it won’t change the fact it was systematically evil and the intention is to exploit these resources in other countries, spain and France did it, in fact, france is still doing it until now in Africa.

Saying these are “isolated cases”, or “no systematic attempt” was there is like blaming a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan instead of the ones who sent him, provided all the support, logistics, communication, intelligence to be there, and brainwashed him that he’s there as a savior from some local evil terrorist, and gave all the green lights to “do whatever it takes” in that operation, while in reality it’s just after the oil and resources.

>Why does it matter? Why is that point relevant or being made?

It does matter, because as far as I tell, there’s been zero case the gov was after a person from non-Chinese roots. I’ve also seen similar cases in other countries like some south asians/arab countries, they are only after their own/previous citizens no matter what’s their nationality. Now you may ask why?! It’s simple, those are the most influential to the local public against the current regime than say a white guy lecturing Chinese people about freedom, he/she will never have the same impact than a local one who’s outside and away from any coercive or persuasive or any consequences.

How? Do you blame an intelligence agency working for its country’s interests? How’s this different from the FBI/CIA working together to extradite/persecute person outside of their jurisdictions?! Do you blame them too or do you blame the country that person in that allowed such overseas extradition? Why is it ok to have Julian Assange for example facing extradition by the US and charged overseas?

Exactly, suddenly these are ok, and it’s legal, and it’s due to “security/intelligence alliance”, you can come up with all excuses but at the end it’s the same, just the old mentality:”it’s ok of we do it, not ok if they do it”, and replace “they” with whatever nation/country the narrative is against at that time.

Thank you.

I can relate somehow, I once did create a lot of software from scratch and idea to the total production, and didn’t even have a raise! So I learned the hard way that no matter what you do, all your efforts will be gone to someone else, your success is theirs and your failure is yours only, so I started my own business!

At least it was tangible thing, a whole sticker!! A company worked on a while ago, the rewards were a message to the group and some thumbs up!!

But was he/she from a Chinese roots/family? Got any article about it? It’s because I don’t think I ever came across a case the Chinese gov were hostile against a non-Chinese person, obviously I could be wrong but nothing from my poor memory I could pull.

Exactly, it’s never a good idea to do that, the only difference is google doesn’t advertise itself as a privacy advocate so when someone use all these google services they don’t really care about the collected data, on the other hand, the userbase of mullvad will have that false sense of security and privacy while putting more and more trust in Mullvad, it’s just a matter of time until some bad news drops.

> it hasn't changed my experience using the product at all

It did change though, I’ve been using them since they started but in the past 2ish years their network is very bad, slow, continuous interruptions and disconnects (can’t say it correlates but noticed happened around the time Mozilla VPN started as they use the mullvad backbone), blocked in a lot of regions even in some government websites, anong other issues, the straw was when they stopped port forwarding.

Unfortunately it isn’t that simple, from the moment your device connect to the wifi for example, every sigle information/packet/etc. shared or stored can be used to identify you, the more you share, the more can be collected to identify you. Now VPN alone by concept isn’t meant for privacy as you always have to trust the unregulated provider (contrary to your ISP for example), when all your data is tunneled through their servers, that’s a lone is big risk based on a trust only, however, and due to the nature of these shared IP vpns, sometimes maybe (keyword maybe) it’s challenging to pinpoint a specific client, and here comes the others, a browser that can have unique fingerprint, and now search queries that can add an extra source of information to further pinpoint you, especially as others mentioned below that you still need to enter your VPN code to use that search engine.. I haven’t tried it yet to give my personal experience as I stopped using mullvad, but if I did I will update this post further.

Agreed, I see what you mean.

>Sounds financially viable at scale ...

You will still have to pay taxes, fees, condo maintenance fees, etc. that are far more financially worse than if you just paid for these in the old traditional way.

Mullvad VPN, Mullvad browser, Mullvad search engine.. never ever put all your eggs in one basket, so much data and meta data can be collected and cross referenced to your ID.

You can’t prove otherwise unfortunately, you have to trust the provider.. trusting only.

I would personally stay away from proton for anything, vpn or email, I’ve been following their news since started and a lot of sketchy things about them, you can read about some of it here (1), the CEO of protonvpn and Tesonet (data mining company) is the same person, they used to have a lot of vulnerabilities and bad patching system (2)(3). There are other stuff about it can’t find the reference for right now (hmmm?), but I can dig deep later if needed.

Mullvad has been better so far, I personally use / used it, last two years been really bad with their network, and recently they stopped port forwarding (4), but again, you have to trust them.
