I have a Transcend JetFlash 930C that I really like. It has both USB-C and USB-A, is super-fast, and so far has been reliable.

Kind of important to note that this article is from 2001.

Steven Sinofsky had a good post about it:

They'll try and justify it all sorts of ways, but what it really comes down to is commercial real estate. If this big return to the office push doesn't work, the commercial real estate bubble pops.

It's pretty simple. Gen Z can't afford children.

I really wish articles about physics or mathematics, especially ones aimed at non-experts like this one, would include the English name or pronunciation of symbols and terms. Not all of us know Greek or advanced mathematics and I need something to say in my head as I read along. How do you say J/ψ meson?

Whatever you do, don't punish your paying customers for being honest. If your anti-piracy measures have restrictions, bugs, or inconvenience your paying customers, you're allowing the pirates to release a superior product to your own.

The fear of nuclear power isn't unnecessary. We're talking about a giant company doing terrible things and a government unwilling and unable to do anything about it. Why then should the answer to that problem be trusting big companies and the government to safely run nuclear power plants?

After some more testing, you can even enter base64 encoded text directly as an input and if you do, it usually base64 encodes its response.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

  It is not clear what you are asking about, could you please register the question in a more clear and discussible way? I can help you with any questions you might have about chikens, roads or other such things. Just let me know what you need againstance with.

It's able to do base64 encoding decoding pretty well, at least if you tell it to simulate a Linux terminal first.

I want you to act as a Linux terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. Do not write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curly brackets {like this}. My first command is pwd.

It's easy to be impulsive and make risky decisions when those decisions aren't actually risky for you. He's the richest person in the world. Even if he made a terrible decision to "bet the farm" and lost 99.5% of his wealth, he'd still be a billionaire and in the top 0.00005% of net worth in the world.

The differences between Robot Inventor and SPIKE Prime are pretty minimal and there's nothing stopping consumers from buying SPIKE Prime through LEGO Education other than simply being aware that the option exists.

Give doing things the Mac way a chance before resorting to tweaks and hacks to make things like what you're used to. After the initial annoyance, you may end up finding you like the Mac way better.

New standard? Maybe for Android phones.

Apple has consistently met or surpassed this standard for years. The iPhone 6S was released over six years ago, has received six major version upgrades, and is still receiving security and feature updates.

Here's the article without a paywall:

Spoiler: The invention is triple-pane windows.

The Apple M1 still contains at least one component directly descended from PA Semi.

Get him involved in FIRST LEGO League <https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/fll>. In FIRST LEGO League, he'll learn robotics and programming, but he'll also learn teamwork, engineering, project and time management, sportsmanship, researching, presenting, and all sorts of other useful soft and hard skills.

FIRST has robotics programs for kids from age 4 all the way up to 18 with increasing levels of difficulty, complexity, and competition. So, if he enjoys it, this could be something he does all the way through high school.

Hacker News is not the place for this transphobic propaganda. This is not feminism, it is bigotry. Treating trans-women with dignity does not in any way diminish cis-women.

False dichotomy

The article fails to mention that although ABS certainly isn't uncommon, PLA is far more popular for 3D printing and is much less toxic.

No, it's not a bad idea. Take your crack pot anti-science rants elsewhere.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean companies have to give you a platform to say stupid shit. It just means the government can't stop you from saying (most) stupid shit.

You've been brainwashed by the ruling class to keep working like a good little slave.

They don't care about pain, death, suffering, and life-long complications. All they care about is getting even more filthy stinking obscenely rich. Why are you enabling them? Why are you spreading their message and doing their work for them? For the measly scraps they're feeding you?

Fuck Scribd.

The title of this post is very misleading. Verizon has made no change to the schedule of the shutdown other than allowing more time for end-users to request a partial download of data that they've posted. These downloads are incomplete and do not contain much of the metadata required to be useful for archiving.

Verizon are giving a tiny, meaningless concession to change the narrative and make everything seem fine now, but it is not. A vast trove of important historical information will become inaccessible and essentially lost forever in less than four days.

Verizon provides no way for anyone to download a complete, archival quality copy of groups. The only method currently available is by using the third party software that Verizon is attempting to block and this method will become completely unavailable after the 14th.

The archiving scripts have been under development and testing since Yahoo first made their announcement. The plan was to get as much manual labor (volunteers solving CAPTCHAs to join groups) done while waiting for the scripts to be stable, reliable, and automatable.

Don't do this, but if you do, please wait until after the 14th.

This outage is affecting Discord.

That doesn't really work though. According to the calculator, 74 dog years is ~100 human years. There are plenty of humans who are 100+ years old, but there are no dogs that are anywhere even close to 74 years old. The longest lived dog known died at 29.

Why don't they just timestamp the signatures so they don't have to resign them every few years?

He's been infuriatingly wrong in every article of his I've ever read, but holy shit! He was an icon. 36 years and they "fire" him via e-mail!? Despicable.
