I'm going to take a stab at this, but trust me I don't speak from a position of authority on this one, just a couple of good college-level chemistry classes.

So water will transition from liquid to solid and back through a phase change which consumes or produces energy. So any melting will cool the drink assuming it's warmer than 0 degrees C.

So let's take as our starting point a mass of ice uniformly 0 degrees C. Regardless of geometry, any cooling of whisky will inevitably produce a phase change to liquid water in the exact amount required by the energy absorbed by the ice. So you get 0 degree ice, 0 degree water, and cooler whiskey. Assuming a 0 degree ice ball geometry is irrelevant.

Of course water can be cooler than 0! So let's assume some really cool ice and do some thought experiment geometries. Take super thin sheets of ice for example. The total amount of energy available to cool the drink without melting is the specific heat of the ice times the temperature difference from zero (there might be some non-linearity here but I doubt it's relevant) times the volume of the ice. So if you have enough volume and cold enough ice you should be able to achieve a 0 degree drink at which point you have no more cooling and therefore no melting and no water.

Unless the heat is transferred out of the water unevenly, say a large mass of it with a central core inaccessible from the outside liquid. Then it would matter how fast heat travels from the interface to the core relative to how fast heat travels from the drink to the interface. This probably has something to do with the outside liquid being turbulent and the inside solid being a lattice but I'm not sure.

So, pure speculation here, I'd guess a large ball would have smaller surface to volume and so would cool more slowly for equivalent volume, but you get a large volume so you might be okay assuming the cold core of the large ice ball does the job of cooling the surface faster than the drink can heat it up.

It seems to be it would be more effective to get very small ice chunks, a ton of them, make them really cold, then you have lots of surface area and if you do the math you could approximately guarantee no melting and you'd cool fast. Then strain out the chunks and put whatever you want in there since it's already 0 (maybe something cool looking you can condescend about?)

But whatever you do don't put it in a glass you grab with your whole hand, the air is a really good insulator, glass much less so and palms work like a circulating hot-fluid heat exchanger.
It's bizarre to me that people prefer to focus on how much somebody owns rather than if he earned it honestly. If a person didn't steal, cheat or coerced anybody in the process of making his money, he is entitled to it. I don't care how rich he is, because he didn't do anything bad to anybody else.

Then of course people say "but greed". Yes, as if only rich people are greedy and you are not.
I'm not so sure that self-imposed cultural isolation is such a bad thing, at least inherently. It seems like a potentially better way for global society to support an extremely wide range of cultural norms than for every set of norms to be distributed evenly and tons of effort spent futilely teaching people to be "tolerant."
that's probably far fewer people than you think.

The first three paragraphs straw man my argument and misrepresent my position as saying flat taxes were the solution and it’s more complicated — when that’s exactly what I said. Literally, my entire comment is about loopholes and unintended consequences to tax policy... except the very first line, which seems to be all you read.

You had one more paragraph with some random technical considerations agreeing with me.

Then you concluded.

You literally just repeated my point, but started with “it’s more complicated than that” — which is phrased as a disagreement with my point.

That’s a straw man (misrepresenting my suggestion as being a flat rate, even though my entire comment was about loopholes — like yours) and violent agreement (phrased as disagreement when repeating the same thing).

Your reply here is just wrong. (:

Regarding "very confused ideas":

To be fair, Mauchly proposed combined program and data storage in a mercury delay line, much like it was done on the UNIVAC I, in 1945, before von Neumann arrived. (Allegedly, there had been ideas for stored program in the ENIAC group even earlier than this.) Mauchly also invented Short Code (1949, originally named Brief Code), the first programming language used in production, and the Critical Path Method for automatic scheduling. The group around Maurice Wilkes attended his 1946 lectures on the design of digital computers and went from there to build the EDSAC, the very first modern computer.
It had before, it was just not explicitly said. That crowdsources spreadsheet was a huge achievement, and if I recall correctly, there was push back from the management at first, they just didn't have a legal way to enforce the policy.
From the review: "[Wolfram] has talent, and once had some promise; he has squandered them".

The creation of Mathematica counts as squandering?
Blue LCD's and LED's are both security risk and UI failure.

BMW does it right. Their orange red is perfect for the dark.
I'm in the same boat. To a first approximation, I never use Uber in my local metro area. To a second approximation, I don't use it much traveling either. I'll often grab a cab if it's convenient rather than waiting for an Uber/Lyft to show up. Or if there's a good public transit option to my hotel I'll use that. In spite of (normally) 100+ days of travel per year I maybe use Uber a dozen times a year. (I do use a private car service to take me to the airport, but again Uber wouldn't be very good for that purpose.)
Sure, protocols only die when nobody uses them, but who will?
I owe the iCircuit community vacuum tubes. I've been promising them for some 10 years now.

My hesitance has mostly been my inability to verify the simulations. I prefer to have physical elements available so I can double-check the app. But I think I will have to resign myself to verifying against SPICE or something.
I would like to suggest to the author that he should give "SpecTrek" (not affiliated, just a user) a try. I cannot comment on iOS apps (don't own a device, don't care much), but this game should've been the one that leads the android top 10 game list. And I guess it's unique to android as well.

Killer app? Nope. Interesting and a good example for something "different"? Yep.
We have a fickle king. Sometimes he executes you and sometimes he rewards you. Just because he does both doesn't mean it's a good situation.
Unclear what this actually means. Can I pay my credit card bill using crypto? That's a taxable event and a pain in the butt to track.

Can I buy stuff from merchants using crypto, and they receive crypto? Useful, but most merchants will want fiat currency, so someone on the chain will have to convert it to dollars, which again would be a taxable event.

Wait.. with Android in the mix, I thought it was suppose to contribute to lowering smart phone prices? But, it appears that companies are just pocketing the difference and not passing along the cost savings
The author claims that Sarbanes-Oxley is partially to blame for the supposed valuation bubble, but provides no evidence.

He only provides two hard data points, seven paragraphs in. "A 2008 study by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission found the average cost of Sarbox compliance is $2.3 million per year. A whopping 70 percent of all smaller public companies said compliance costs have prompted them to consider going private, and 77 percent of smaller foreign firms reported considering abandoning their American listings."

The first point, about average cost, includes companies of all size. Larger companies will have larger compliance costs, smaller will lower costs. Without some correlation between size of company and costs, the average tells me nothing.

As for companies who "considered" going private, he doesn't say how many companies actually followed through due to Sarbanes-Oxley costs. My guess is it's much closer to zero than seventy percent, or else he would have used that number.

While Quora is my favorite web destination today, and the one that I enjoy spending time on more than others, I think Robert's getting way ahead of himself. It's useful to drive ideas to blog about, and have interesting discussions, but to call it a blog is doing Quora a disservice. It's a very well done Q&A and information site, which isn't a bad thing, but the future of blogging it's not.

> Off the top of my head, I'd say that clean Chromium builds take my linux machine about 10 minutes. Null builds take a bit less than 1, and typical builds with a few files changed take between 1 and 2.

Huh, I'm not familiar with this terminology (being an Autotools user), but it appears to be specific to SCons, a build system used by Chrome. I'll definitely have to take a look at it, as Autotools is an absolute nightmare, even once you understand how to use it.
Lets imagine the two worst case scenarios here:

1st: A company asks those questions because they don’t know better. Someone is good at remembering stuff and does so. He gets the job.

2nd: A company asks those questions because they don’t know better. Someone is a good developer but fails at these questions – with no specific reason. He doesn’t get the job.
What's so particularly embarrassing is that you clearly did not have any competent statisticians on board until now. This was not some big surprise that needed "a lot of resources to fix." This is something that should be obvious to anyone who understands hypothesis testing, and is something that statisticians have been describing how to do correctly for over 50 years: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1551774/

I don’t think any of this is a good idea but I propose that they create a blockchain voting system for policies on their platform like this.
$10 bil of money means Nintendo has all the money they need on hand to continue to develop for their markets or new markets so what impetus is there to be acquire or merge? Nintendo is not a very big company comparatively.
If you have a problem with BLM riots then you should have a problem with these riots. You can't call someone a "protester" if they have gone past a police blockade and are attempting to enter the chamber against the direct orders of Capitol Police. They were rioters.

I have a problem with BLM _riots_ but not anything about the protests themselves. I have a small problem with the MAGA protests, in that they're being led astray, but they absolutely have the right to protest and air their grievances if they're peaceful.

You are the one being gaslighted or trying to fool others. Every challenge to the vote was thrown out because there was no evidence presented. If there are the thousands of millions of zillions of cases of fraud and evidence of any of it why hasn't that been presented? It's because it doesn't exist. You can spout whatever lies you like in the media - social, mainstream or lamestream. But you can't lie to a judge without consequences, so no lawyer will help you lie.

As for Georgia, more than zero evidence:

There isn't a conspiracy to elect Biden. He's not that interesting.
When you find out that Tesla has their finger not only in car manufacturing, you realize that they should never be evaluated as a car manufacturer alone. They compete in Solar power (solar roof), in battery storage (commercial and private), autonomous driving (Waymo is valued at more than 100 billion, why shouldn't Teslas autopilot division alone too), energy autobidder, own battery tech and so much more. Maybe they are a bit high right now, but just simply comparing Tesla to VW or whatever doesn't cut it.
The nature of each "public good" could be evaluated to determine what was appropriate to ensure all citizens equal access to a public good.

FD just required a media outlet to make sure the media basically gave another candidate the opportunity to access, it didn't actually require equal time, not unless that candidate wanted to, or in the case of advertisements was willing to buy them.

Certainly parkland should be equally available to members of different political parties, but it's not like you have to use the same standard either: the nature of a "public good" would determine the nature of what fair equal access meant. For airwaves it's one thing. For a limited physical resource it's another.
I agree -- and the same thought should occur to someone punching a police officer during an arrest, or grabbing the officer's gun, running away, etc., right?

It seems that usually when those things happen, however, that itself is cause for riots.
What about Line, Kakao and imo?
Thank you. This is what's missing in the whole argument. They can already go back to standard...what Florida wants is the currently non-existent option to go full time DST. Most states want full time DST.
> How is the book app going?

Thanks for asking! PaperbackAuthor is coming along.

> [...] I imagine you have specific templates for the specific type of writing one would use.

Right now I'm shooting for the absolute minimum viable product, so on day one it will be a super simple editor that can export to ePub and PDF.

But I've got lots of idea of features I want to roll out, including support for different types of writing. My theory is that what makes most editing software problematic is they try to create one approach to writing many types of things, so they fail to be particularly good at any one of them. With PaperbackAuthor, I'm building the editor I've always wanted for the purpose of writing novels and novellas.

Later, I might roll out support for, say, screenplays. Or graphic novels. Or text books. Or illustrated books. Etc. Each format deserves its own dedicated editor.

> What would be cool would be able to denote where the archs and acts are as you're writing to be able to go back to after long pauses.

I've got some ideas around this, too. But, I need to make sure they're genuinely useful. Some of my ideas, in hindsight, amount to little more than "Trello-like cards in a sidebar", which isn't much of an improvement over simply keeping Trello in a separate tab or window.
This is why this definition of entitled irritates me, it's used to mean 'not entitled but thinks they are entitled'.
I prefer light mode by default. I think there should be an os level setting if you prefer dark or light mode.

And yes there is a certain level of fashion between dark and light mode which seems to move back and forwards every now and then. This reminds me somehow of the moves between Terminal(thin) -> Server(thick) to Workstation(thick) -> Tablet(Thin) -> Cloud(Thick) -> Client side(Thick).
As a Swede living in California, I think I have some knowledge of this.

I don't think the Swedish "Allemansrätten" would allow the public to a beach in front of someone's home, as the California rule does, and as this fight is about.

I don't know how close this specific billionaire housing unit is to the beach, so I can't speak to this case, but the Swedish rule is less permissive than the California one.

I would also observe that these "right to roam" rules work well in sparsely populated places like Scandinavia, but you won't see much of them in more dense jurisdictions.

California is pretty much the size of Sweden, but with 4x the population.

The cat whisker radio was invented in 1906, 10-years prior to WW1, which is what eventually led to the transistor-revolution.

It took a few decades before people used non-linear electronics to create negative-feedback circuits (leading to modern electrical circuits), but the groundwork to discover modern electronics as really all ready before WW1.

Apparently, the the vacuum tube diode was 1904. Not yet an amplifier, but the age of electronics is nigh. True, the 1940s made amplifiers cheaper with semiconductor circuits, but everything you do with semiconductors you could do with vacuum tubes (albeit at much higher prices, more waste-electricty, and lower reliability).

WW1 did speed things up a bit. Light-cavalry messengers were still deployed in WW1 despite the invention of cars and radios... the war made it obvious that light-cavalry was finally obsolete.

Horse-based transport required ~30% of all deliveries to be horsefeed, while oil delivered by trucks is far more efficient. Horses require a period of training: where the riders and the horses learn to work together... if a horse (or rider) died, it would be months before a new rider would be proficient and back to delivering messages.
In that sense, there's links2 (http://links.twibright.com/). (While it supports graphical output, it's a text-mode browser at heart.)
I prefer light mode + f.lux or Redshift.

There's no need to stare at cold blue light all day long.

Fun fact, there is actually a CSS media query for selecting dark/light themes:

The Pygmalion effect is fake. The original result was driven solely by wild outliers that indicate that those students were blowing the test deliberately or that the authors were incompetent, it was buttressed by inappropriate statistics, and, in an extremely familiar pattern now for any 'cool' environmental effect in social psychology, the hundreds of replications turned in ever tinier effects and to the extent that there is any effect, it is effectively zero in the long run: http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~jussim/Teacher%20Expectations%20...
Patchbay is an interface for Secure Scuttlebutt.

Secure Scuttlebutt is a P2P pubsub system for sending files, messages (chat/notifications), and everything else you can implement with pubsub-like systems.

I think it's just confusing because of the overlap with:

- Patchbay

- Pub

- Channel

This can be fixed by turning the light on.

Most work areas are not lit well enough. For my own home office I have about 19,000 lumens of light in a relatively modest space. Same brightness as a cloudy day outside. In that environment, a white background is very pleasing to the eye, especially with crisp displays.

One advantage of dark backgrounds is that it's easier to distinguish many colors against something dark, so for code that uses heavy syntax highlighting, it looks nicer. But the edges of characters render better against white backgrounds, so it's a tradeoff...

One area where dark mode shines is if the environment doesn't allow for ambient light, such as checking the phone or laptop when someone is sleeping in the room.
Angie's List does explicitly that, showing you superstar plumbers, electricians, doctors, etc. If I am given the choice to hire a great plumber vs. an average plumber I would always hire a great plumber if I can afford him. Your argument that development processes should be built around average programmers is like saying open heart surgical procedures should be designed around average surgeons.
I misread like Apple buys a company every three to four weeks.
Do you think that free diving resulted in larger lung capacity? Or that you have always had larger lung capacity, and thus enjoyed free diving more than most people?

Considering the N64 is powered by a 93.75 MHz NEC VR4300 CPU (which powered _printers_ such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_LaserJet_4250 ) it is quite blazing fast :)
Why would it be harmful? As long as you turn the brightness down to a sane level it should be fine.

Again i went over most of the schematics and the specifications and nothing actually in this project seems to be worth while.
The privacy features are kinda moot and not effective, and the hardware is a joke.
Low end SOC(TI DM3730 which is 4-5 years old now) with poor media support and very low performance and only 1GB RAM.
Limited RAM and extremely limited ROM/Onboard FLASH which will limit the OS in the long run or force you to use the SSD card which will lead to probably the most common leakage.
Oh and the screen? 3.5" TFT, 800x480 resistive, seriously where did they even find a resistive touch screen these days at the bargain bin on Alibaba?
And they expect people to pay 850 EURO's for that?
So no this is not a modernization of the N900 it's pretty much the N900 with hardware that is only slightly newer than what was available when the N900 came to the market.

There is seriously no reason for this phone to be so poorly designed especially with their mentality of sandbox rather than trust.
We had quite a few phone projects that were either designed by the community or by small companies and all of them managed to use top of the line hardware.
You have Snapdragon 800/801 phones under 300$ these days, why use a SOC that will not even be able to play a movie these days?

So sadly this isn't the driod you should be looking for, still waiting for a Tizen/Meego phone worth while Samsung has been shipping some in India, and Yatta has a very nicely designed phone out in Europe and Russia but none of them are toolkit phones sadly.
The research of Dr. Carol Dweck is interesting here [1]. It says that students who were praised for "being smart" developed this ego/defensiveness problem and subsequently began to underperform. While students praised for working hard did not, and ended up outperforming the "smart" group. The amazing thing about the research, to me, is that this effect was very prominent and quick, and it happened based on only one sentence being told to the students on one occasion. It did not take years of parents telling their child, "you are so smart". It took one teacher telling the child once, "you did so well, you must have worked hard", for the effect to take place.
