>Maybe that means less impact in the tackle.

In rugby if you run at someone they'll step sideways and you'll go past. In American football that I've seen they run right at each other, on purpose. You can't hammer straight at someone flat out and still be able to adjust your trajectory to account for a side-step. (Though Union is getting more like League now in the silly, endless, rucking which is TBH more like NFL).

In NFL they have plays of average ~4s, adding up to ~11 minutes across a 3½hr game time with regular changes of players using a massive team [see my other post for source]. In Rugby Union (UK) it's longer plays adding up to 45 minutes of ball-in-play across 90 minutes game duration (80 + 10 mins of half-time) with 15 players on pitch per team and up to 8 subs.

What could explain the graphs and cycle stability is that Tesla does not deplete the battery pack below a certain percentage of the real battery capacity or over a threshold... basically they keep the battery pack well beyond the critical ranges where batteries degrade from simply idling, and they "undersell" the pack capacity.
But their business model is technology only - those that work for the local establishment do the deliveries?
Interesting. Then rust should not care about the destruction order, right?
No one. This is why I'll never understand the criticism and why it annoys the crap out of me when articles about working conditions call it "Apple's manufacturing plant". It's not Apple's plant in any sense of the word except that they contract them out. Apple is under no obligation or responsibility to tell manufacturers how to run their businesses and I think they deserve kudos for constantly forcing these companies to improve working conditions and pay and for doing it contractually. They're blatantly putting their money where their mouth is.

Figured it was a longshot, I'm on the other coast. I struggled to make friends when I moved away from university too, I'm pretty introverted and don't really like going out to bars/clubs, and frankly don't get along with the same personality type I always seem to meet at local game shops/meetups. I guess I'd suggest cultivating those work friendships, I've personally met some cool friends-of-coworkers who became friends. For instance, I invited a few coworkers hiking last year and they invited some friends, some of whom I connected with. But most of my friends here I met in really strange circumstances without trying at all- like a woman who my roommate shared a lyft with and initially intended to date.

The honest answer is unless you physically disable your wifi antenna, you can't really be sure. The same thing with your laptop web camera or anything physical on your desktop/laptop/smartphone/etc.

If you want to be sure that your laptop camera isn't recording you, you have to put electric tape over it, if you want to make sure your mics on your devices aren't recording you then you have to physically block it.

I think you can roughly split this into two questions:

1) Is the organization receiving funding to focus on analyzing a certain area of policy? Here, you can argue that the organization has an agenda that is driven by its backers, but I don't think it's sufficient to call it propaganda, because by that definition, any paid effort to focus on any particular area is propaganda.

2) Is the organization seeking to highlight positive evidence while seeking to squelch negative evidence? That's where it more becomes about propaganda.

Yep, that's been 100% my experience. I don't know what a "brogrammer" is, only that apparently I am one and they are scum. And I've been here for 3 years. It's been getting worse; two years ago people would at least talk to me for more than a few minutes at a time. One year ago people would grudgingly give me a chance, but you could see them clocking out once tech stuff came up.

Autodesk stopped offering HomeStyler. It's now offered by 北京居然设计家家居连锁集团有限公司, which is www.shejijia.com, a big furniture retailer in China. The software isn't the hard part. It's the furniture catalog. Such programs are only useful with a big 3D model catalog, and the party that has the incentive to provide that is a furniture dealer.

Amazon needs that capability. Develop a good 3D capture program specialized for furniture and you might have something. Something that guides you through taking enough images to get the whole object into the model cleanly. Make that available to Amazon sellers. Or eBay sellers.

Average life of ICE vehicles can't be 266kkm, that's absurdly low.

It's important to know that especially in Central/Eastern Europe, you can never trust the car's odometer - even the cars I'm talking about had probably more than 350kkm when bought.

> These are three incredibly vague terms that pretty much every programming language can be said to provide. I can't understand how you think OOP is defined by this.

I do not want to defend OOP, but I would like to add that object-orientated languages are often to be expected to support these 3 things (encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism) - at least many sources list these properties as must-have to be considered object-orientated.

> This is the kind of argument that convinces me that OOP is completely bunk.

Agreed. E.g. functional programming has a sound foundation (λ-calculus), but in object-oriented land if often sounds a little bit hand-wavy.

Anil Seth: Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality
I know I can push myself to write code for well over 70 hours per week, but I definitely find that the quality of that code degrades sharply at some point. When I look at some of that code later, after I've had time to rest, I wonder what the hell I was thinking.

I might have produced more output, but all the mistakes I've made have to be fixed at some point, sometimes by someone other than me, and there's a real cost to that. The longer a bug lingers, generally the more expensive it is to fix (even if it's being fixed by the person who wrote it in the first place). The kind of death marches we're talking about rarely involve time to go back to fix any but the worst bugs or pay down any technical debt, at least not until much later down the line.

And regardless of that, why would I want to spend all my waking hours writing code? Life is so much more than that. (You're welcome to disagree with that, but I dare say you'd be in the minority.)

I read that: the point is that 2.4bn just isn't all that much given what it does to the value of the company. It's probably a risk worth taking as long as you can get away with it. And yes; that means you'll need to eventually adapt - not because 10m a day is necessarily enough to actually enforce that, but also because this kind of stuff is gamable; complying with the ruling without much risk of competition at this point is pretty easy. And you'd need to make the calculation that even if 10m a day were acceptable for the gain, simply ignoring high-profile judgments against you may have worse ramifications down the line.

I'm not saying it's nothing: it's that it's a risk worth taking given the gains. If you're building a trillion dollar company (i.e. google), then eliminating competition or accepting some judicial friction as a way to establish dominance in your (data-mining) field is perhaps acceptable or even wise.

In that, these fines simply aren't punitive enough, especially since they come so late. And again - it's not black and white. The existence of such rules will alter behavior; it's just a question of whether the reaction will be legal mitigation tactics, a company-wide change in approach, or something in between.

Put it this way: if you can corner a market worth trillions, risking how much loss is acceptable to reduce or eliminate competition? I'd venture that these fines are at least one order of magnitude too small to be really frightening (which isn't to say that the behavior google was convicted for deserves that amount, simply that anything less than that means that law can't really be enforced)
This is a good point, but how would this cause Google's business branch (advertising) from collapsing? Businesses want to advertise, and their service here is reputable.
> The red fitted line has a slope above 60.000 km (say 40,000 miles) of 1% per 50.000 km (30,000 miles).

I'm going to bring this up because I think it's both interesting, and sometimes it comes up on its own and detracts from the conversation with conjecture (and sometimes harsh assumptions) until covered adequately[1] - different countries have different conventions for whether they use a comma or period for a thousands separator, and in those languages if they also speak in English sometimes, they may choose to continue using a period as a thousands separator as is convention in their country, even if the predominant language in their country is not English, and there are circumstances which might make that more common for some people.[2]

In this case, we have what appears to be switching convention when switching unit systems, which is interesting. I'm not sure if it's more or less confusing in the end, but there's not really any standardization of this as far as I know, so it's all good.

Watching the Canadian national hockey team is one of the highlights of the Winter Olympics. The US team would be better if it had access to all those kids wasting their athletic potential on the worst sport in the world--football--and the second-worst sport in the world--soccer.

If it ditched the requirement that the game always be played on ice, the skill level of hockey in the US could be comparable to its basketball. All those high school football stadiums could get some asphalt surface, chainlink fencing to stand in for the glass, and a few sets of sticks and inline skates, and we could all watch hockey on Friday nights instead of kids knocking their skulls together.

Exactly, the wealthy and corporations fund think tanks to support their interests, not for ideals. Think tanks don't exist for truth/objectivity. They exist to push an agenda.

Regarding Poker and Blackjack: there's something fundamentally different about the two. In poker you play against other players, but in blackjack it's against the house.

There are people who, thanks to their skills, have made a career out of poker. However, blackjack strategy can be boiled down to a simple decision table, and still without techniques to give you an edge against the house (e.g. card counting), you're only going to gradually lose all your money.

And Soros funded groups are different? Come on now. There are plenty of think tanks that are supported by anti-capitalist interests as well.

It feels to me like “Koch Brothers” is some kind of socialist dog whistle to rile people up. It’s like mentioning Rush Limbaugh: people get riled up over just the name, but it’s highly likely most people have never heard his show — just cherry picked, out of context quotes that are like red-meat to the starving tigers of left wing interest groups.

To be fair, the right has their dog whistles too. Mention Nancy Pelosi or George Soros and the right loses their mind as well. Acting like think tanks are some sort of capitalist conspiracy is just ridiculous.

The user wants something that works reliably. If it's hard to implement, confidence decreases. You can compensate with external audits, but those are expensive.

You almost always care about built in MAC. If you don't authenticate your data, you will most likely run into trouble. And if you really don't care, I'd rather sidestep the CTR vs OCB vs WTF entirely by using Chacha20 (fast without dedicated hardware, naturally immune to timing attacks, dead simple to implement).

(In the general case, I'd recommend Chacha20 + Poly1305 constructions.)

This is fundamentally flawed because lithium batteries mostly degrade not because of amount of use, but because of time (and their charge state and temperature during this time). No matter if used or not, they will lose capacity. The rate of capacity loss is mainly dependent of average charge (best is 40%, worst is 100%) and temperature (best is 5 degrees C, the higher the worse).

(This is also why phone batteries fare so badly: they are often near 100% charge at 36.6 C in your pocket)

There seems to be a lot of comments about the dangers and how many people will not play nor let their friends and family play football again. I thought I should chime in.

I have had 3 major concussions in my lifetime where I blacked-out for some period of time, maybe, not counting the other ones where I did not lose consciousness or notice the hits as badly. I still love those contact sports but have quit them too.

I'll detail some of the issues that I had with concussions and what it felt like to have them (names and places have been changed to protect the guilty/innocent). I only played rugby in college and wrestled in HS, so my experiences with concussions are not football related.
