I think the main issue is to the more common person that paragraph read like as bunch of complete business nonsense. I have no idea what the vast majority of those abbreviations mean.

Being raised in what I believe to be one of these communities this feels very true. In Pennsylvania this supposedly supports seniors, but seniors often are the ones gambling. The most frequent shops for selling lottery tickets are also tobacco stores. I find it hard to resist a scratch off from time to time myself.

I don’t know what the solution is, I know it gives people hope and excitement. Even if they think it’s impossible to work themselves out of debt they hope they’ll “win big” one day keeps them going to an extent. It’s really just another version of the “Marshmallow Question” just with adults instead of kids. You could write it all down for them and spell it out, but to them the math wouldn’t work out.

HDR/SDR Tone mapping has long been the bane of hardware transcoding for Plex. Even when it "kinda works" which is Nvidia on Linux only it kills my GTX 1650 in RAM and compute required. Normally NVENC can handle 3 4k Streams or many many 1080p streams, only constrained by RAM.

In my previous experience with Kaseya in the MSP space they’re just out to consume any relevant product, integrate it into their platform and run up the rates.

They’ve gone on an M&A rampage in the past 10 years and have no signs of stopping. I knew people who started companies to fill gaps in Kaseyas portfolio just with the aim to be acquired.

Not surprised they eliminate any existing culture of the companies they consume.

I'm excited and scared to try this personally. So essentially the issue in using IPv6 is that you're usually using the whole block to directly assign those addresses to local devices? Is that the primary benefit in a residential space?

Are they in the red on the loan? The numbers and functions are where I get confused.

"a whale has deposited 5.7M SOL ($170M and borrowed 108M USDC and USDT borrowed)"

So they put in 5.7 SOL at some price, and used it to borrow stablecoins? If their position is liquidated how does that play out? If he traded coin for coin how do they get the traded assets back?

How did the "whale" have so much invested in the market but such little voting rights?

There's not much in this article, but I think it goes beyond being cheap. If your local area Walmart has obliterated all competition and you simply want to go to NOT WALMART. These rapidly expanding chains offer some form of alternative that's smaller and easier to navigate.

Last time I visited an Aldi the line was to the back of the store since they historically only have one lane open with two employees in the building at a time(cost savings measure). To the customers there this did not matter, it was not Walmart and was the only other food store within proximity of their home.

For a much more interesting read, check out the story of Bottom Dollar foods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_Dollar_Food

Anyone interested should check out Breath. An active project with a similar goal. I've run it on multiple Chromebooks and love the experience.

I assume it's some form of functionality that allows serial number keyed equipment to be changed. You can't swap a large number of components on iPhones without locking yourself out.

I disagree, pioneering SBCs on a non-profit budget means this one hitch on binary blobs is a very low priority for them.

Working with the same vendor consistently to iterate on a very similar design each time is ideal.

I’m impressed so many Wi-Fi 6 devices were picked up despite it having the worst range of the Wi-Fi standards.

Where I struggle with this is on the basis of the idea. At this point why not turn everyone into a Holo Live character or some other metaverse style creation? Our face is part of who we are and removing that feels very unnatural to me.

Where I work recently disclosed another vulnerability in a similar vein.

Spooky stuff for sure.

I'm vaguely familiar with the pay by weight frozen yogurt shops. I can't speak from first hand experience but I would say that if you had 6+ machines and that was all your business did it would be a non issue. A few locations, rotate your cleaning days, could be handled by one individual that services them all.

It's optimized for high capacity, high throughput, low planning, production.

Do you sell 1 milkshake or 100 a day? Doesn't matter, the tank holds the mix and freezes it on the fly. Taylor machines can output hundreds of units an hour. Or none.

It's always "fresh", there's waste when you clean the machine but other than that the ice cream you get has only been frozen seconds before being served.

It's highly profitable, when the machine is operating correctly the base food cost is much lower than the other food categories(sandwiches and chicken) but not as good as soda and cookies.

I've commented on this previously as I worked as a jack of all trades for a McDonald's franchisee for years.

The machines tanks and shaving cores must be disassembled and cleaned every two weeks. They have a very intelligent series of sensors and internal mechanisms that make it impossible to defeat or cheat.

This is not a low skilled job. I'd say it would be easier to change your cars oil than complete this. There's multiple gaskets and seals which need to be rotated quarterly in a tune up kit. While we were hiring at minimum wage the shake machine trained people were making 15$. I can only imagine what they're making now.

I don't find the "cryptic messages" issue to be valid. New machines had new systems and codes, it wasn't malicious. Everyone had access to the manual and the Taylor provider in my region did some phone troubleshooting free of charge to prevent service calls. They even did free annual trainings.

Mechanically older machines can have issues, and some franchisees can be stubborn about replacing them. However I believe the vast majority of the time the issue is the machine not being cleaned.

I do wonder just how much German sentiment has shifted.

From the leaked clips of a high ranking German officer saying "Putin just wants respect" before the war. Now seeing a large shift amongst those I follow on twitter in German who were previous anti-action.

Assuming SWIFT access is cut, and then the Natural Gas supplies are turned off is there another escalation back? Assuming the US/EU can rally their resources how do they mount a quick recovery from the loss of natural gas which will certainly be devastating. Even if the Nuclear plants in process of decommissioning are reversed(if possible) I'm not sure how the EU gets through the next six months without a ton of pain.

Philadelphia recently changed their enforcement of the "City Wage Tax" to protect against such things. If you were hired for a position in the city you must pay the tax if your WFH is 40 miles from city limits. They're currently threatening all business small and large with an audit if they don't comply. We've been through four different accounting firms who all told us the same thing.

It's unfortunate but it's still better than paying the tax and making the commute.

Seconded, they seem to be getting less press samples or have less manpower to write articles. I don't even think there's more than two or three people working there anymore.

What does contamination even mean in this context?

Wouldn't they just be pushing the channel to get the fees from certification? Like the made for iPod/iPhone program?

The way I see it Apple believes they are entitled to a percentage of all things in life. They can't sell Home automation as a service yet but they can certainly make up some of the cost by gouging their partners to join the ecosystem.

I belive this functions like a VPN in some ways and blocks video throttling. They use traffic inspection to throttle video streams down to 480p unless you have the most premium of plans.

Silicon supply and engineering resources are a major issue for HEDT platforms.

Thread Threadripper uses a massive amount of high quality silicon, Epyc has much better margins.

Supporting HEDT is living hell for Intel/AMD. You're often using all kinds of consumer hardware with otherwise enterprise grade gear. Addressing every little PCIe device issue and catering to a very very small market has very little ROI.

> "Most engineers received stock worth $80,000 to $120,000, with the bonuses provided as restricted stock units that are set to vest over the course of four years provided the employees stay with Apple and do not take jobs at other companies."

Is that really a significant amount enough to ward off being poached? 120k over 4 years is 30k a year if linear. I would think at the pay scales being discussed they would get 30k a year just to move companies.

I do wonder what Apple will do if this gets any sort of traction. I fear they only allow disabling of secure boot/other OS installs due to fear of regulation. Apple wants you running their OS and in their walled garden.

This exactly. You sound very risk averse. If you're going to take a small pay cut to work 40 hours at Target paying 15$ an hour this is exactly what you should do. You're clearly being burnt out and that's likely reflecting in interviews and job searches. Just like with dating desperation isn't an attractive trait when an employer looks at you.

I updated my post to reflect my feelings better.
