This is a good thing. Most politicians refuse to do anything that will have an effect beyond their term because it won't help them get re-elected. It's why infrastructure in the US is such a heap of crap.
How do other issues bother you on a "fundamental fairness level"? Such as the incidents of workplace harassment in STEM fields that have been coming out in the last year? Or income inequality / options available to people by class they were born in?

I notice a lot of people saying what you're saying, that safe spaces or clubs for certain types of people are the "reverse" of whatever ___ism they're trying to address.

Certainly you realize there are systemic issues that are causing much greater offenses to the idea of "fundamental fairness" yet you seem to concentrate specifically on minor conceptual issues with the methods of the people trying to address it. That's pretty telling.
I stand corrected. Thanks for these posts!
They define it based on Planck's constant, so the results also depends on the definition of meter and seconds if I understand it correctly.

Would it have been possible to define it as the weight of N amount of electrons (assuming all electrons have the exact same weight under all circumstances) or another fundamental particle?

EDIT: it would be the weight of 9.10938356e31 electrons at rest

You are missing the point. The whole reason people use emojis is because they don't have a clear meaning. They have a blurry range of multiple interpretations, spanning more on the emotional side than the intellectual one.

- you can use them when you don't have anything to say, don't know what to say, or don't want to say something but need to answer something

- you can use them without thinking much

- you can use them to exchange on a more emotional basic mode

- you can use them to give personal context : feeling, mood, expectations, etc.

- you can use them to break language and sociological barriers, that exist in our very own society.

Those are the stuff we all do without knowing when socializing in groups, flirting, negotiating, lying, trying to escape responsibility, having fun, killing time, maintaining links, being human... But IRL we use a different symbolism: body language, social positioning, tones, etc.

They are not accurate. They don't need to be. We are quite basic in our regular interactions. Usually they are around sex, power, fun or love. Not about the geopolitical situation in Venezuela during march 78.

Now, being able to do that with pure text requires not only much more effort, time and skills, but also knowledge. And the internet/mobile age gave everyone the opportunity to write, but most people are not that good with writing. Really not that good. Plus if basic communication requires too much effort it loses effectiveness.

So they just translate their IRL skills into something they can use by writing: it's just a shift in symbolism.

Personally, I think the emojis were getting more and more popular as girls used computers more and more.

This is an unfair comparison. macOS doesn't run at that resolution out of the box. Your max effective resolution is 1680x1050. Even a 15" rMBP has a max effective resolution of 1920x1200. So, 1080p is plenty competitive for dev work. Now, if all you care about is the smoothness of HiDPI, then your point is valid, but most of us care more about how much code we can fit on screen than how smooth the font looks.

It's reduced but by how much? For example, 1Password uses PBKDF2 with something like 10k or 100K rounds to encrypt the local vault. If you were looking at ways that could be compromised, is it really likely that you need to worry about an attacker getting a copy and dedicating a lot of expensive hardware to brute-forcing it anywhere near as much as the attacker getting malware on your system which captures those keystrokes?
I don't disagree. Ceres ain't that much further, and it's literally a giant ball of water and hydrocarbons.

That said, it's possible that even Mars' relatively low gravity is enough to stave off the health problems associated with prolonged microgravity/freefall, so that might be good motivation. If there's some lower bound on how high g needs to be in order for our bones to not become brittle, and Mars is above it while - say - the Moon is below it - then Mars is really the only option besides the moons of the gas/ice giants (and their respectively-giant gravity wells) or Venus (with its Earth-like gravity well and its hellscape of a surface).

So there's another scientific motivation: to measure the effects of low but existing gravity on human health.

That's too late! Doesn't even make sense. By 2040 they will be banned in nearly all developed world. Volvo doesn't plan to build any of them starting 2020 by the way (while they will still build mild hybrids, which are 80% ICE vehicles). Germany is planning a ban from 2030 and that seems spot on, by this time technology will be definitely up to it.

Doing it by 2040 is same as doing nothing, because gasoline cars will be clearly competed away by that time without any legislative action.
Purely as an amateur, it seems unelegant to have something that violates causality as a mechanism, but doesn't give you a way to violate cause and effect at a higher level. It's like the universe is conspiring to keep its awesome tricks from you.
> it should be painfully obvious that "i9" is just a reaction to the threat of ThreadRipper from AMD

Maybe the branding but the HEDT lineup has been around since 2010. Shockingly, this lineup escaped the notice of AMD loyalists, or was assumed to be equivalent to Bulldozer's CMT (which is much more like a SMT/hyperthread than most people would admit at the time) - however they have always been excellent at gaming, particularly compared to Bulldozer's miserable IPC.

The high-core-count lineup are probably a reaction to Threadripper but these chips have been around in the Xeon lineup since forever and really should have stayed there. These chips (including Threadripper) are really multi-socket-in-a-package and don't perform particularly well in gaming workloads (despite AMD advertising them for such). Games don't scale well given the latency. They will be nice for things like CAD rendering workstations but that's a much narrower niche.

The i9 branding also slices off ECC, which is a significant feature for many things these will actually be good at. Threadripper will be at a significant advantage for actual server usage (even home-server) as a result. Intel is trying to avoid cannibalizing sales in their more expensive Xeon lineup but it does kill a bunch of the utility of the processor as a result.
This is a great discussion. Worthy of getting more comments. Thanks all!
How to define fundamental units has always been a matter of precision measurements, not theoretical purity. If the standards body decides to base the definition on Planck's constant, instead of a certain amount of electrons, the rationale will be higher accuracy in measurements of Planck's constant than of the mass of electrons.
> The keyboard is an efficient way of getting a program from one's head to the computer, so I don't see that changing.

This seems an awful lot like saying, in (let's say) the 18th century, "the horse is an efficient way of getting from one place to another, so I don't see that changing." The keyboard seems efficient now, but it, or, to be certain, some current and apparently perfectly satisfactory technology, certainly won't do so after the next big innovation.

Yes. And this is a great example of why titles like this one undermine any point the author hopes to make.

So I'll just go ahead and use the one they made.

"Oops, you exceed CPU usage limit"
I haven't been involved with outsourcing for a long time, but back when the company I was working for was outsourcing some work to Indian developers, we outsourced to a team rather than individuals. This was the standard practice at the firm we worked with. Essentially, the team consisted of one guaranteed long-term member who was our primary contact, a small group of senior developers we got to know (and train) who were usually dedicated to our project, and a larger group of junior developers who rotated around projects as needed. We generally didn't know who the junior devs were; the seniors and the manager were responsible for verifying and guaranteeing the quality of their work. My understanding is that we paid a monthly rate based on the amount of work the overall team would do. If the seniors could do the work themselves they got paid more, and if they had to share the work with juniors they got paid less. Basically, they sub-contracted to the juniors.

This arrangement might've worked well for us if the seniors and manager could've kept the quality consistent, but they couldn't. A couple of them were really good, but most were not and problems caused by the juniors kept leaking through to us. At one point I even had to entirely scrap a project their team had worked on, and redo it all myself. (That's one case where I have evidence of being a 10x developer, at least on that project and relative to that team.)

This isn't a great argument for teams vs individuals though, because a lot of the issues we had were more to do with the cultural and logistical difficulties of outsourcing from US to India and the company we were working with, rather than the consulting model.
> Was it really a mistake in a practical sense?

This is what many people on the internet say. This does not mean there there might be good arguments for the opposite standpoint, too.

At least I can tell that Microsoft is working to move parts of GDI step by step from the kernel back to user mode again, which should provide evidence that they consider this decision as a historical mistake, too, because it opens too many potential gateways for security flaws.
Everyone did.

Well, actually Mussolini might be a hard one to pin, but modern day Italians who significantly developed their culture through the Renaissance are definitely not the same as Ancient Romans.
Unless I am missing standing, the goal is only to produce a new interpretation of quantum mechanics. That is, the predicted physics do not change, only the formulation of the theory. Therefore, anything possible under this formulation is also possible under more traditional formulation of quantum mechanics (e.g., the many world's interpretation).
One way has been by counting silicon atoms in a nearly-perfect spherical crystal.

I can't believe you're complaining about people not being able to read or write super-effectively, when you admit you can't even read the expression on somebody's face. Have some sympathy.

People do write what they mean, and then people misunderstad it. Is this because people are stupid? No. No, it is not. It is because people are people, and they often need more than just words on a screen to understand what other people are thinking. Hence: emoji, smileys, and so on.

Every electric car has tremendous markup because batteries are still very expensive for the volume they put in the car.

It is also worth considering these batteries have a fixed lifetime. Any electric car is going to need new batteries in 10 years - batteries that originally represented about half the ticket price of the car. You basically assume the cost of batteries will drop tremendously in the next decade or else not only are you paying a lot for the car up front, you are also paying the price of a new entry level car every decade just to replace the batteries.
> First, to clarify (...) It does not mean that signals can be communicated from the future to the past(...) instead, retrocausality means (... it) can influence the properties of that particle (or another particle) in the past, even before the experimenter made their choice. In other words, a decision made in the present can influence something in the past.

So, hard to explain in layman words: future can't transmit information to the past, but an action that will be taken in the present can influence some properties of a particle in the past.

Take two particles, separate them enough, do some "A" thing to one of them and the other instantaneously will have the only possible state that doesn't break the universe.

And one viable explanation is that when we've done the "A" thing, this information was transmitted to the particle in the past. We just couldn't measure this before (in the past) because measuring interferes with it, and that property can only be revealed at the same time that we've done the "A" thing.

Is that it? Kinda of information is transmitted to the past, just can't be read before some time ?

>English is a sloppy, imprecise language.

Every human language is imprecise. Even mathematical notation is inconsistent: e.g. sin^2(x) == (sin(x))^2 but sin^-1(x) != (sin(x))^-1. Also, the notation for partial differential equations can be ambiguous and you need context to know what the independent variable is.

parenthetical aside: I'm not a linguist but I wonder if English is actually the most precise language of the ~6000 world languages because of its abundant inventory of synonyms built up by the assimilation of German(AngloSaxon) and French languages. I've noticed that several translators have commented that poetry is easier in English because of the wide shades of meaning available. If you want the biggest bag of synonyms to write some lyrics, English seems to be the weapon of choice.
Quite the opposite. The fact that ICE sales are expected to drop long before that makes it a "safe" promise because it's happening anyway - a politician's dream - but it still has value: it is likely to cause further acceleration of the drop of ICE sales.

And that's good for the environment (doubly so in France, where a lot of electricity is not generated by carbon-emitting methods).
