Yeah, AdaFruit¹ seems to agree:

“Lastly, there’s an upgraded switched power source that goes up to 2.5 Amps instead of just 2 Amps - allowing your Pi to power even more powerful devices over USB ports.

Note: Our 5V 2A power supply still works great with the Pi 3. For most uses, you don't need 2.5 amps of power and our 5V2A supply should be sufficient.”

Still, it would be nice if they did make/source a generic USB wall adapter that can supply 2.5 A of current. Hopefully, this new Raspberry Pi will increase the demand for such a thing.

Adblock plus is on the way out, the new kid in town is µblock origin.

The difference ?
Adblock plus can be extended to block trackers by adding block lists to the default, while ublock origin has those lists activated by default.
Then adblock plus let through some ads they whitelist for money and supposedly good behavior, ublock origin has no such policy for the reason that ublock is the work of an individual who wants a better online experience while adblock plus is now the product of a commercial company.

You are not accounting for surface area for both countries or population density.

Germany has even higher population density than China (245 vs 137). Of course we have to account for the gobi desert but even so population shouldn't be a factor of comparison.

I agree that the comparison is not fair though, mainly because the infrastructure development between both countries is vastly different, a better infrastructure helps in distributing population over large areas in my opinion.
huge cities like Beijing [...] are having huge problems

I don't think these problems are city problems. The problem is a consequence of the numbers of people. For example the waste n people produce is more or less constant (relative to a given level of development) regardless of whether these n people live in a dense city space, or are spread out.

Indeed, densely populated cities are probably better placed to deal with transport energy and so on, because economies of scale work in favour of dense cities. A particularly good example of this is public transport. Only dense cities can be walkable, and only dense cities can support efficient, well utilised public transport networks.

If a friendship revolves around being able to do some similar thing together, it's probably not a friendship. In a friendship it's about the other person and it doesn't matter if you can't climb/surf/jam together because it's not about doing. People I hang out with because of a hobby are pals, peers, even acquaintances. A friend is a couple of steps above that: a friend I would see outside the usual circumstances. I go have lunch with my colleagues but it's only one or two I actually meet outside of work, and those are potential friend material. Test of true friendship is when you don't have any other other excuse to meet except yourselves, and you still meet.

If the net effect is less trust in any climate science, they win.
GPU Accelerated JavaScript
If I just want to unpack a function's tuple result, I use "std::tie":

tuple<int, bool, char> t = make_tuple(1, true, 'a');
int n = get<0>(t);
bool b = get<1>(t);
char c = get<2>(t);

can be written as

int n;
bool b;
char c;
std::tie(n,b,c) = make_tuple(1, true, 'a');

This is not necessarily better or more dynamic, but at least it looks more pythonic (to me). One can even write

std::tie(n,b,std::ignore) = make_tuple(1, true, 'a');

if not all results are needed!
No idea but coding against unit tests, rather than testing every change on a running app, should help avoid that frustration.
I wasn't implying dynamically typed languages were worse that statically typed languages. I was just discussing the approach I used to mitigate human error when building web UIs in hope it might inspire other people (or other people might offer additional feedback that inspire improvements in my own framework).

It is interesting to see that other frameworks are using similar ideas to my own though. Maybe not surprising; but at least reassuring to know that my own quirky API design isn't as leftfield as it felt when I was developing it.

If the rating is more important than the creation, perhaps they should create a neural network with an image as input, and a single signal as output, that indicates on a scale of 0 to 1 how interesting that image is, from an artistic point of view.

Alternatively, equip a human with an EEG headset, let them look at images, and take the rating from the output of the scanner.

Thanks for the comment. Though I am wondering, as a consulting firm not a finance firm, why does McKinsey model and value companies? Are they brought into double check?
I am not saying this is the case for YEC, but usually when you hold and defend some fringe belief, you often have books, videos on Youtube, dvds to sell, conferences to give, in some case museums [1]. (See conspiracy theorist Alex John films [2])

So yes, for some people there are some financial interest. But I would say this is not the main factor. If you have defended an idea for a long time, maybe you have sacrificed some part of your life like family or friend to your passion, and at some point it becomes so tied to your identity, that it must be impossible to realize how wrong your were.

The latter is true for any kind of belief, religious, political or even scientific.

While this is certainly an issue, more often than not I see "critics" claiming broad statements without even trying to verify/falsify their claims scientifically.

And if I have to choose between two sides, where one tries hard to fulfill scientific requirements while the other doesn't care, I'm certainly on the scientific side - even though our current academic landscape is far from perfect.

Here's the big secret about the tech industry: arbitrary technology is exactly what you want for your project. It doesn't actually matter. Any inherent differences in productivity are dwarfed by the effects of being emotionally invested in your work and having lots of other people emotionally invested in the outcome. Besides, regardless of what you choose, if it becomes successful it will be rewritten multiple times by multiple groups of people, and the effect of having them emotionally invested in their work will far outstrip any inherent differences in technologies. So pick whatever you want, and then let your employees pick whatever they want subject to the constraint that groups who work on the same codebase better agree on the same technology.
Amazon has signed a deal with Morrisons
More accurately, the Pi has a bigger community of vocal fans and press who'll play up its accomplishments and shout down competitors and criticism of the Pi. For example, notice how not having onboard WiFi doesn't matter when the Pi lacks it, but is a big deal when it has it and its competitor doesn't. Also how the Hackaday article spins it as a good thing that, four years later, the Pi Foundation has released a board that's actually useable for the purpose they were promoting it for all along. For those four years, any suggestion the Pi wasn't usable for education was shouted down by fans and ignored by the press, but now the Pi 3's out and they can spin it as a positive thing...
Growth Is Hard
The thing is, cars are heavily subsidised, more than people realise.

For one, there are heavy negative externalities associated with cars. Governments choose to ignore those - and hence are in essence subsidising car users for free. If drivers actually had to pay the full cost of cars in terms of environment and health impact, they would be up in arms.

And of course there is infrastructure - car owners don't even cover a fraction of the actual cost of this - it all comes from general taxation.

So yes, we as a society have chosen to heavily subsidise car use, possibly for cultural or emotional reasons.

But ultimately, the piper will have to be paid. That's why I think we should all do our part to, as you say, encourage public transport use - and more walking/cycling.

My dream is that car usage might actually one day be charged at its true cost, instead of asking society to foot it's bill - but I think that's a long way off.

Indeed. Berlin is nice in many ways, but it is precisely because it is a historical anomaly from the Cold War time; it was subsidized in several way to keep it alive as a West German (BRD) enclave within DDR (East Germany).

Now it's the capital again, and "normalizing", which means that rents and property prices are going up, and so is the general price level (which is currently lower than in other German cities - not usual for a European or any capital city).

The point that I was highlighting is Flipkart showed the way as to how this forgotten system (COD) can be leveraged in the days of internet to acquire new customers.

The relevant question here is - If Amazon India came before Flipkart, would they have thought of putting this system in place? Maybe, Maybe not.

But one can hazard at least this much guess that looking at the kind of customer traction Flipkart was getting due to COD system, Amazon India's product managers perhaps had to write far lesser emails to Seattle for incorporating that in Amazon.in.

I worked in a different consulting company.

We're brought in to double check, but also do conduct due diligence and valuation. There's some overlap between financial services and consulting companies. In some deals, you might have a bank on one side and a bank + consultants on the other.

Also, banks are good at doing standard, off-the-shelf valuations. They usually know little about the specific industry and use one-size-fits-all models.

If you want a detailed valuation, taking in account scenarios, industry changes, etc. you need people who know the industry pretty well, which usually means hiring consultants (who either are industry experts, or hire external industry experts).

In some cases, private equity firms also fill in the role of the bank in valuations. I've worked on a multi-party investment deal where one company had consultants (us), another had a bank, and another had a PE firm helping them. Looking at the different approaches and models from each company was a very interesting experience.
I think they are very very much different, in fact so different that the comparison is a bit of an insult to the millions of people killed by the Soviet state (its own citizens as well as others).

Well most graduate level math textbooks are called "An Introduction to..." and run to 500+ pages.
The job market right now in the US forces grad students to attempt innovative research with remarkable conclusions. As a consequence, everyone's trying to prove more outlandish things while few are bothering with replications.

If the field were sane, you would train all the apprentices on replication studies. Once they demonstrated dispassionate expertise with the tools, only then would they be allowed to try to use those tools to test their own ideas, where they will have a strong emotional preference for how the study will come out.

If universities hired grad students based on their replication work, not on their eye-popping original research, we'd have better science and better scientists.

Ad blockers dont block ads. They arent even "ad" blockers but just filters - browser extensions that block anything on a page from loading if its coming from a blacklisted domain. Whether it's ads, trackers, social widgets or just an image - it gets blocked by canceling the network request.

Surveillance is not the leading cause for adblock, it's because people don't like ads and a 1-click install to remove them is incredibly easy.

Advertising online will always have some sort of tracking because that is the benefit of advertising online - to know the real metrics of who has seen and clicked and engaged with an ad. If you're worried about real privacy issues, you should focus on Facebook/Google and government agencies.
