I hear so often of people trying to make a buck on Green products and sustainable practices. It has become a common knowledge phenomenon that Earth's climate is changing. But it is very rare to hear that people are actually planning for the Change.
You are probably right. In the same sentence as India he also mentioned Spain but nobody there seems to care.

I know nothing about Indian and Spanish culture so I can't speculate on the reason.
A factor of 360 is closer than I would have guessed. But that's still at least 8 doublings of compute efficiency. We've never had concrete roadmaps that far out—that would be like scheduling the introduction of FinFETs while Pentium 2s were first hitting the shelves. Nobody's ever been able to predict that far in advance which fabrication technologies will end up being economical at scale and required at which node. (Just look at how well the industry has coped with having to put off EUV so many times.) With the looming end of silicon scaling, those thermodynamic limits certainly don't look any less out of reach.

Interesting. The apple.com one (https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com/) shows literally that text in Pale Moon (27.2), but shows "аррӏе.com" (Cyrillic text) in Chrome 57 and Firefox 51.

Someone else's example that looks like "app.com" ( http://www.xn--80a6aa.com/) translates to the Cyrillic text, even in Pale Moon. I wonder if Apple's site is on a hard-coded blacklist in the browser, or if every update includes the top-1000 list, or something?

I remember reading about issues with Unicode domains years ago, though. It surprises me that something hasn't been figured out by this point. One mitigation that I remember being discussed was coloring characters from different scripts in different colors, to make variant characters more obvious.
That's absolute nonsense. I can't park my car on a sidewalk. I can't park my car in the middle of a park on the grass.

>You're asserting that wealthy people are terrible at managing their money.

Or maybe, the assertion is that wealthy people are good at managing money in ways that benefit their entrenched holdings, but not good at finding the Next Big Thing. Or in ways that simply improve the economy overall.

Your entire argument can be countered simply by the example of the Ford Motor Company and its decision to pay workers more than the bare minimum so that they could actually afford to purchase the vehicles they were making. This lead to huge gains over other boutique automobile manufacturers at the time which produced vehicles that cost several times that of the Model T. And improved the economy of the area immensely.

In general, extreme concentration of wealth is bad for the economy because it does not allow enough people to make decisions that cause growth overall and improve the wealth of the nation. The most obvious historical example is that of the high middle ages where all of the land, currency, military power, etc. was in the hands of the few and 90% or more of the population was at a subsistence level. The wealth of the nation was not spent on improving the lives or economy of the people, but on defending the holdings of the rich from other wealthy people.

In contrast, the renaissance started when that wealth was distributed among merchants, craftsmen, and bankers who were able to invest their income and gains back into technology that improved productivity for everyone (but most especially for themselves) and resulted in an overall wealthier nation.
I doubt they do anything about TZ in Spanner since GPS time is not UTC (no leap seconds).
In fact, UTC isn't even mentioned once in the paper.

What is mentioned however is the TrueTime API that models `Clock.now()` as intervals rather than a fixed timestamp.
They're both based on the DCT. Mp3 (and AAC and Vorbis and more) use a modified DCT which uses block overlapping to mitigate aberrations on the block boundary.

Its no surprise it works, however you wouldn't necessarily get "as good" compression as you would from an optimized DCT coder (JPEG etc) based on the data duplication (2x for the overlapping blocks).

I do for half the year, being British.

At work we have two local relevant times in the office - GMT and Europe/London. Some programs are scheduled at GMT (world service), sometimes they're in UK time (national news).

Some computer logs are in GMT, some are in local time. It's a right pain - if we were 4 or 5 hours offset from GMT it wouldn't be a major problem, you tend to know roughly what time you're looking at, and you'd only have wall-time or GMT. GMT and BST are too close together to be unambiguous though.

Colleagues working in Washington tend to be 5 hours behind regardless, those in singapore are 7 or 8 ahead. Some countries I give up with completely

Specified GMT or UTC doesn't always halo as some people assume you mean "time in London". UTC is better in that regard, but it would be easier if UTC was several hours away from civil time.

An important concept to have in your mind when dealing with timezones is that "Time Zones" and "Zone Identifiers" are not the same thing. "Time Zones" refer to an offset from UTC used to compute the local time; "Zone Identifers" identify a geographic region that has political rules about what its current time zone is.

For example, "America/New_York" is a standard identifier for a geographic area. Depending on the date, it is either 4 hours or 5 hours behind UTC. That is what we call daylight savings time, and it controls whether America/New_York uses the "Eastern Standard Time" (EST; GMT-5) or the "Eastern Daylight Time" (EDT; GMT-4) time zone.

If those political rules change, and you threw away the local time zone info as it existed when the record was created (because your app converts everything to UTC) then users will get the wrong times for their events.
The timeless problem of AI, anything that starts out AI ends up being rebranded as not AI once it's understood. It's the no true Scotsman fallacy. Machine learning is AI, it's just not human level AI.
What difference would that make? If different time zones give the same time, that makes no difference, as the time needed would be the local time. The local time could be in a twilight zone that works on a mod43 clock, but if you're scheduling an appt to be in the twilight zone at +800 twilight zone, +800 twilight zone will be the time you need to be at the place.

It's an interesting proposition. A highly abstracted, very high level, very modal multi-user system where users actually interact instead of being sandboxed.

Keep in mind that "anti-X" stuff tends to resemble the original "X", thus despite the antagonistic name, this is probably not as revolutionary as we will get.

Ever heard of the hyperlink and communication to the public of copyrighted work conundrum that has been solved by a decision of the European Court of Justice ?

This decision means that once a work is posted on a
website where it is freely accessible to the public, the
author cannot control how internet users subsequently
access this work. For example, a website owner will not be
able to use copyright law to ensure that users who wish to
access a certain piece of work would have to go via their
homepage, where most of their advertising space may be
located.

So good luck to forbes with this argument.

Obviously, its always only a vocal minority which participates in #Boycott, but same is the case in India too! On the other hand, "as an Indian" you should not be so much affected by this #Protest. Please remember that India is a vast country and no single group represents can represent all of India. And this action is quite trivial (and non-violent!) and 0% (after rounding off) of the population participated in it.

America needs to embrace "local government." That means devolving budgetary power to the states. The federal model has failed. The current system is broken. The people who pay the most into the system (highly productive cities) are the people who actually have the least voting power. Once people wake up and begin to understand what's really going on this will not last. 'Taxation without representation' tends to rub people the wrong way.

End the Federal Highway/Farm/Energy Acts. Heck, even blow up Medicaid and Obamacare. Cut the military budget by 2/3. All of these enormously expensive federal "programs" are just elaborate means to extract hundreds of billions of dollars from the wealthy and efficient urban counties and distribute them to the relatively poor and inefficient rural counties. None of it is fair and none of it is sustainable.

This is one good thing that will come out of runaway polarization in America. As all trust dissolves and the two (highly geographically correlated) classes move apart this illusion of "one republic" acting in everybody's interests will fall away.
It's not the skepticism. It's the lack of perspective. You can be perfectly balanced and skeptical, but your readers will not necessarily take away your perspective if you don't provide some amount of contrast/consider different opinions. If you only post skepticism, readers will just always be salty -- and it really sets the tone of discussion for the future.

When people think of free markets they think of open competition, but some free markets are not competitive and more fixed markets by the big fish. We need fair free markets that encourage competition. Not a free market that is blocked by the biggest fish, we should be anti-monopoly and all regulations need to encourage competition.

Markets should be free but fair, by fair I mean encourage competition. Regulations should make it easy for competition to happen not harder needlessly. Regulation is important for a healthy fair market.

AT&T breakup was big and did encourage competition, though they may be back soon. Microsoft 90s ordeal really did shake them up and in the early 2000s competition happened again.

Dark side of monopolies are AT&T created modern software/C++ and wired the US up first, Microsoft got everyone on the internet and a computer on every desk. Sometimes there are benefits to big fish but you can still create competition. It may also create other important growth areas when big fish are broken up.

We only need regulation that creates markets that are fair competitively but otherwise free, net neutrality is an example of a fair competitive regulation.
It is. You have to be familiar with markdown flavors. No, same link. Browsers do not render markdown by design (there is no single standard anyway).

Nothing is simple when it comes to the U.S. tax system. The reason why the law is so complicated is because it has to be applied fairly everywhere in the country.

Eliminating corporate taxes for every U.S. company in the entire country just because a few very large companies have a ton of offshore cash doesn't make sense. And your assumption that it will be made up by increasing dividends seems misguided since the people that decide whether the company pays a dividend are the largest shareholders who want to minimize their own tax burden as much as possible. They'll simply figure out a different way to pay out those gains that don't involve a dividend (more buybacks, mergers/acquisitions, etc.).

I agree that it would be good to figure out a way to bring some of that cash back to the U.S. even at a lower rate, but this is definitely requires a scalpel and not a hatchet to fix.

The // division is like the mathematical division where the remainder is positive (a = qd + r and 0 ≤ r < |d|). If -2 // 3 would give you 0, it means the remainder is -2 which is a no-no. If -2 // 3 gives you -1, the remainder is 1 which is fine.
