> No battery means more space for other components, and removes the design pressure to optimise for battery life.

But what would you actually change? I wouldn't want to add any components, and the iMac doesn't seem to have better specs.

The weight of the battery could be removed but it's already light enough for that to not matter.

> And no, an iMac is not easy to carry.

Compared to a laptop of the same screen size, I'd rate an iMac pretty high on carryability. (The sizes sold today are irrelevant to a theoretical 'portable iMac'.)
ID is a political movement. It's marketing, not science. Their goal is to increase the credibility of religious demagogues and not actually to understand the world.

They are not interested in the world. They are interested of persuading you that "something" created the world. They don't care of science, they care about crafting a message that will drive more peoples into churches.

Do note that Dembski does not feel this line of inquiry is interesting anymore[0], and Meyer's credentials of a doctorate are not in natural science but philosophy and history.

President Obama Claims He Cannot Pardon Snowden; He's Wrong
Actually, we (or more accurately our software automation) tweaks the images. You're right about RAM. Part of what we do when we 'tweak' is move memory intensive processes to either the cloud or a datacenter. Our client's developers just install and use the VMs as they normally would. No tweaking on their part needed. So our clients are trading the time of their developers and cost of upgrading entire teams to fancy machines, to paying us to deal with the pain of tweaking images and dealing with the devops. Most of their developers are doing web development. But a lot of them want to replicate the entire stack for themselves on their local machines. So we enable some of that by simply having the automation create dedicated dbs etc for them on shared/cloud infra and create just we webdev environment in their local VM. For ourselves, Wwe use automation (and build it) and some nice hardware to do the development (Definitely not laptops for devops automation). But then we're only 3 people. So even though each of us has several workstations, servers and laptops at our disposal, our clients don't need such expense for each of their developers. Works out well for both parties. :-)

> You should remember that stoicism was concieved amongst the elite of their time and place, who worried least.

If you read Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, three of the main authors of the Stoa, that is probably the last conclusion you would come to. Seneca was accused of conspiracy and forced to suicide by Nero. Epictetus was a slave who was "so poor that he didn't have to lock up his house". Marcus Aurelius spent the last years of his life (when he wrote the "Meditations") on the battlefield. They were meant as self-reassurance in a very troubled time.

I've never seen a finished well take much land at all. For most 600 acre sections of land, even multiple wells on that land would take up an acre or two at most. Fracking itself takes more space just to bring in the equipment and water tanks. But after it is fracked, at most there is a "christmas tree" and a few water tanks.

As for the extra space for fracking, most states require returning the land back to how it was before after the few month process of fracking is done.
What? With FHE the client just gets an additional encrypted metadata that is the encryption of whether the attached file is spam or not. No looping required, whereas your functional encryption scheme seems to necessitate the client being "live."

My HP ZBook is almost always on battery, since early 2014. Battery life is the same as it was when I bought it, some 3 hours when doing meetings with customers. I didn't buy it for battery life but for ease of upgrading components and 32 GB of RAM.

Your comment addresses my objection to the idea that matter expands and contracts, not that there are wave phenomena, which is certainly true -- but that wasn't what I commented on.

The article indicates that this could be used to create a vaccine. How would that work? So far as I understand the medicine for vaccines, they are used to train your immune system to create new antibodies by exposing it to the virus. What process would be used to train the immune system from an existing antibody?
The fundamental problem is not spam messages. It's unlimited free identities. Encrypted email bodies would play well with spam detection, as long as there's some effort or cost associated with creating a new sender identity. Google tries to do this by tying your entire life to a Google account. So do Facebook and Linkedin. It takes a while for a new account on those systems to develop a life history, so there's a reputation anchor of sorts that doesn't involve money. If you could send an encrypted email that was signed with your Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, or Github ID, that would be a reasonable way to tie messages to a reputation.
Fast convolution algorithms with Python types
One of the requirements given in the OP (the one I was referencing in my previous post) is that the server can tell spam from non-spam without the client being online. The FHE solution doesn't work for this requirement.

The functional encryption scheme only requires a client to bootstrap it. Once the client has calculated the appropriate function based on their private key, they can give it to the server, who can thereafter apply it to incoming emails regardless of whether the client is online or offline.

Exactly. The author came across as smug and not credible, since he was clearly pushing an agenda. The first red flag was his straw man:

> Think about your behavior when you enter a highway. If you are like me, you take note of the posted speed limit, set your cruise control for 5 m.p.h. above that limit, and you're good to go.

I can't remember the last time I used cruise control, but it was definitely on a 200+ mile trip. If the author is such an un-engaged driver that he relies on cruise control every time he gets on a highway, I'd hate to think how lackadaisical he is when he's "only" going 40 MPH around town. Certainly drivers like this—to the extent they actually exist—would need encouragement to stay attentive. But pretending that everyone is this checked-out while driving isn't realistic (I've ridden with many drivers from all over the US in the last 20 years, and no one reaches for the cruise control right after getting on a highway).

It may be the case that narrower lanes is the way to go, but the tone of this article undermined the persuasiveness of the evidence cited.
Hey, I'm very interested in remote sensing. Forestry applications are dire to my heart, but at the moment AG has a lockdown on my attention.

I like how rutorrent nuked their artist blacklist in response recently. It's a consumer's market again :P

Thanks for the NIC suggestion, that's very cool.

Apparently libgen are using Novogara, but sci-hub are hiding behind CloudFlare. I wonder who they're using.

If you notice this reply, for a while I've been curious about a hosting provider that's reasonably resilient to security-testing type traffic, run-of-the-mill P2P, and moderate poking around the less-than-white areas of the web (which I've never done and am curious yet reserved about; FWIW I have zero interest in the darker things I know are on there).

I'm not just looking for just-VPN service because that market is IMO hugely inflated, and for ~$10/mo I can run OpenVPN exactly how I want and do compute tasks on a machine with a nice disk and PHY.

A little while ago I was sharing space with a friend on Contabo; performance was so-so (QEMU) but nobody seemed to notice me compiling Chromium, playing with OpenVAS, or torrenting all over the place (via VPN), so that's my base.

I was thinking of going with Online.net next (dedicated Atoms for <$10/mo? I realize what I'm getting, but sure!) since their T&C approach seems interesting (Redstation have a "no nmap" policy!), but I'm unlikely to go exploring since I value my account.

Interested in any ideas you may have. My email address is in my profile FWIW.

I agree that mild warming has clearly occurred. the hot summers and warmer winters are both clear and must also have been corroborated by local people ( im in the UK so completely unqualified to say )

Do you have any sort of record of what you uploaded? eg, hashes?
An interesting effect of this is that you can only find in a particle collider what you expect to see.

i.e. you can confirm or deny that this effect or particle exists. But if something entirely new that no one expects is occurring you would never notice because you would never look - there is simply too much output.

At best you scan an energy range and look for bumps (indicating something interesting is happening), but you still have to decide what kind of collision to scan.

Basically run "energy balance" calculations - calculate the expected result of a certain experiment, run it a huge number of time, then check the totals and see if they match what you expect.

You also look for symmetry - if this thing is found, and there appears to be "room" for something like it, check for it.

So despite the limitations we found all sorts of things. But it's important to understand the limitations so you know what to imagine, and then look for.
I had similar problems. On top of that, I forward my email through my own server to GMail (so I control the domain, but can use the GMail ecosystem as UX), and this was posing problems because GMail would greylist my server quite a bit for sending in too much spam.

I now run rspamd on my own server, which does a pretty great job. With properly training the bayes filters it has, I now receive on the order of 3 spam messages per day in GMail. Actually, rspamd seems to have fewer false positives than the GMail spam filter -- I guess this could be because it has more information as the original receiver, though?

Getting these results did take some very limited tweaking of the rspamd configuration; I lowered the treshold for what's "definitely" spam (that is, just gets discarded), and I bumped the weight of the BAYES_SPAM rule.
not sure if it still is the case, but last time I checked logging into Spotify from a second account begins to control the other logged in account, complete with stopping and starting play.
Just to clarify, Bell's result implies that our universe is either lacking locality or counterfactual definiteness. Counterfactual definiteness means that for any measurement you could perform there is a definite fact of the matter of what the result is prior to or without taking the measurement. The Many-Worlds Interpretation is consistent with Bell's result because it lacks counterfactual definiteness -- there's not one result of measurement; there's several results, all real!

Since the latest release, I've found that mentally substituting "Deluxe" for "Pro" helps to clarify Apple's design choices. I just can't see how a machine without USB non-C or display ports can be meant for professionals. I'd gladly pay for a heavier, thicker machine to have those things (and to avoid the dongles).

How to start learning high scalability
Not true. Bell's result precludes local realism. So physics is either not local or lacks realism (counterfactual definiteness). The Many Worlds Interpretation keeps the locality but lacks counterfactual definiteness. The fact that MWI is the only interpretation that manages to hold onto both determinism and locality is what makes it so aesthetically pleasing.

Asking this is like asking how long it should take for a sperm cell to swim across the Atlantic Ocean.

Consider that to get that 900 billion worth of oil we'd probably have spend 400 billion in extraction costs. Over all likely better to spend that on renewables instead.

That statement is false. It entirely depends on how fast you sell it. If you dump it all on the market at once, it can go way way below $10. Or you can take it slow and not affect the price much at all.

The weird thing is that Apple did not use all the space they possibly could for the battery. Have a look at the teardowns. There is room to put ca. 5% more battery. Supposedly they wanted to stay below 3 pounds.

That is the amount the other RAM type would have used...
So this was likely more about weight than battery life.

I feel like there's something more interesting going on here. Like, more to the point that there's this unstoppable reality that people are reading the stories they find attractive.

Whether the goal of the stories was to game a compensation system, by forming a click-bait content-farming advertisement ring, and whether it was a plan hatched by two-bit amateurs doesn't matter as much as the premise that many, many people are susceptible to preferring a channel that happily conforms to the ideas that seem to please them, without questioning why it always provides them with everything they've always agreed with.

Is the problem that someone out there is creating junk food popcorn stories that people smoke crack and read avidly? Or is the problem that people are smoking crack before they read the news?

Seems like it's an easier solution to hunt down those rotten unethical publishers. But after you get rid of the publishers, you still have this sprawling kingdom of crack addicts, so did anything really get fixed?

Like, certain people prefer to hear that we have this amazing trillion dollar oil field now, whether it's worth that much or not. So that's what gets published.

Meanwhile, the valuation of the huge, bigly oil field is a digression from the more pressing conversation about whether we should ever burn all that oil to begin with.

Like, yeah, wow. Lots of oil. Great. But uh, what about all the smog and that business with the greenhouse gases? Weren't we supposed to start using less oil?

But never mind all that! What gets clicks is the price tag! Run it!

From my view growing up in the 80s - most boys preferred action and sports, virtually all the girls wanted to talk in groups, and a very few boys (myself included) would prefer to obsess over niche things like computers, DnD, games that required tons of focus to the exclusion of social and physical activities. This was innate imho - not from marketing!
Server VMs shouldn't require a window manager. They also shouldn't be idle during testing though, and I would think 512 MB is a reasonable minimum for doing anything useful. Double that for a database.
