Super awesome product, definite advantages over traditional headphones or other wireless headphones.

The only negative point I have with them is that they are now something that I have to know where they are all the time eg I tap my pockets to confirm phone wallet keys and now air pods.... I didn’t used to do that with normal headphones.
Isn’t it a big loss to move into management when one loves to code?

"Note that in 32-bit code, memcpy is typically implemented by first copying blocks of 4 bytes using the movsd (move double word) instruction, while any remaining bytes are then copied using movsb (move byte)."

I did a cursory search [0] on Token Ring vs CSMA/CD and it appears that "worse is better" is why CSMA/CD won out.

CSMA/CD was much cheaper to deploy than Token Ring.

"Token-Ring has been a bit of a mystery for many people. This is due to the fact that Ethernet, and other Carrier Sense Multi Access - Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) networks, are the most widely installed network topology.
This is because most network designers cannot look past the initial cost of Token-Ring. While Token-Ring does cost more per port to install, it offers vast benefits over Ethernet and other CSMA/CD topologies."

They do have a working prototype; it's in the video.

Also, your comment is ironically pretty dismissive.

As an expert, do you think that the sporadic time/money cost of changing a tire could offset a significant reduction in fuel cost or trip time? How expensive would a tire change have to be to outweigh, say, a (conservative) 30% reduction in fuel cost?

Most intersectionality can be seen as simplistic statistical modeling that has flaws (such as male not being a benefit whenever the legal system is involved). I don't actually think the theory is wrong, but I do think the current models are way too simple and more often than not picked not for their correctness but their usefulness in achieving political goals.
Indeed as I said earlier part of the problem is the kind of theology that is taught especially in the US. I never said it was an invalid experience but only said that it cannot be a representation of Christianity - for one to get that they would need to look into works by Christian authors throughout the years.

I'm sorry to hear you were personally negatively affected by the Church. Btw Orthodox is a big umbrella, I'm not sure what you're referring to with Putin, I'm not Russian Orthodox.

I recognise that my comment may have been flippant. But you can't judge Christianity based on its misuse or the inadequacies of Christians. I am just sick and tired of hearing that my beliefs are irrational, or "out of date", and that I need to "get on with the times" and abandon myths and legends about God and Christ. This has been a consistent impression I get from others especially in the tech field. And upon talking to people who believe this I find that they really have done no research on their part and so end up with superficial understanding of everything. I only ask that people do their due diligence and read Christian texts to judge for themselves. I encourage you to completely abandon the current messy Christian debates (including my comment) and look into Christian texts of the first few centuries.

Indeed a lot of writers are men due to the cultural reasons of old times. But you can find sayings by women: https://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Desert-Mothers-Sayings-Chri...

> In the latter case - if there was space/power available - perhaps they could have gotten a second tool.

Given that this was about a waitlist for the "how to use a laser cutter" class, getting another tool probably wasn't going to be economically possible.

The TechShop in my area (Phoenix/Chandler) had six (!) laser cutters - all ULS 60 watt machines (I'm not sure what they had before they closed; I haven't been back in a long while). ULS is based in Scottsdale, so maybe they got a discount on the equipment or something - but regardless, those machines aren't cheap. They are quality machines (heck, the software alone is pretty amazing), and have a cost that reflects it.
Generally from people who hadn’t wore them.... I’ve had them fall out of my ears once when I was taking my jumper off with them on. I run with them on.

They are a slightly different shape to the earbuds that come with iPhones so worth a try even if those fall out a lot.
But flick a broken spark plug ceramic piece at it, and it falls apart.
The "could've only been funded via Bitcoin" part isn't even necessary. The US government is kind of crazy when it comes to terrorism. Any connection between Bitcoin and terrorism that gets a lot of public attention is likely to result in major legal problems. It doesn't matter whether or not the fear is well founded or whether Bitcoin's role was incidental. Look at how much pressure there is to crack down on encryption in general, and that would have far wider-reaching consequences than regulating a cryptocurrency only a tiny percentage of people actually use.
> Horrific, because the average programmer would consider patching the binary a worst-case scenario.

That says more about the average programmer than it does about the reasonableness of binary patches.

I used to table in MASM on the 8088 and have dabbled a little on microcontrollers (6800) as well. But the last time I looked at modern x86, I was pretty lost.
> Real estate is a hard case, but by no means impossible, particularly if a custodian can hold the assets in the transaction. This approach is well understood.

So perhaps we could use an entity that is experienced in holding real estate assets that have outstanding obligations against them... like a bank? And then, instead of using cryptocurrencies that burn more electricity to service my "tokenized-crypto-mortgage" on my house than my actual house, I could get a "traditional mortgage"!

Hold my beer, I'm going to issue an ICO for this idea.
I'm sure YT can't (and probably wouldn't particularly want to) stop the monetization scheme, but the ad-blocking is going to interfere with the main-line business model that gets content creators paid, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's push-back on that (probably in the form of client-server verification the ad has been seen that leads to a good old-fashioned measure / countermeasure arms race to ensure the ads are served if the video is served---after all, how do you snip out the ads if they're baked into the video itself, for starters?).
I’ve had AirPods for a little over a month now and they have never fallen out of my ears - they are sturdy enough where it’s not even a concern. And thinking about it, why would AirPods fall out of your ears any more than wired Apple earbuds.

The technology is really seamless - my only gripe with the product is battery life. You can’t listen and charge at the same time, and I’ve never gotten all day batter life. It makes it hard to use as a daily driver - I have my AirPods for most situations and then a set of headphones for work on the laptop
Good luck! There is plenty of demand for mature people with a solid educational background.

I'm glad to see this, but I don't think the content is particularly on point (or compelling really).

A large amount of Bitcoin reporting at the moment is grossly irresponsible. This "Bitcoin will be $1M each" is fueling bad decision making on the part of the ordinary punter.

Right now there is a major civil war in the Bitcoin camp (BTC vs BCH). It's playing out as we speak. Whatever your horse in that race, it's extremely volatile. Not only that, there are other tokens, shady ICOs, exchanges with suspect resilience.

It's also impossible that your on-the-street investor can be informed enough to make a good choice. This is really concerning.

* Why assume Group 2 has, or can produce, higher-valued thoughts?

* Why are there only three seats at the table?

Diversity and inclusion is about analyzing and addressing systemic assumptions and the arbitrary, exclusionary constraints we put on ourselves as an industry.

Contrived hypothetical scenarios fail to frame the real problem because those contrived scenarios are exactly what good policies push back against.
Mostly good info in there, but I see a few problems:

> There is also no E#. It just doesn't exist. Get used to it. Those are the 12 notes.

Technically not true. There is an E#, it's called F. If you are playing in F# major[1], the scale has an E# in it.

> Musicians never play notes one at a time. They always use chords.

Most lead guitar parts are not chords. Typically playing in a band context will create a chord from multiple instruments, but that isn't always the case.

Two things that I've found curious about the HomePod:

1. Apple does not seem to be positioning it against Google Home or Alexa, within the "Voice Assistant" market, but instead against Sonos in the "Wireless Speaker system" market. It remains to be seen if customers will evaluate the HomePod in the same way.

2. I think the success of the HomePod will partially depend on the future of the "Voice Assistant" marketplace. If the current assistants are relatively mature, then HomePod is late to market and will probably need to rely on iPhone-integration cachet to become even a moderate success.

The cause of this delay, however, makes me curious. My guesses are either 1) software delays, or 2) manufacturing delays.

If you're accounting for future lease obligations as debt, then I think you somehow have to account for future exclusive use of the thing you are leasing as an asset.

It's easy to value the future lease obligation -- monthly payment * remaining term. But without a way to value the corresponding leasehold this change seems like it just distorts financials in a way that makes the data less useful.
> Still, CME Group Inc., the world’s largest exchange owner, has said it plans to introduce bitcoin futures by the end of the year, citing pent-up demand from clients. That pushes bitcoin closer to the mainstream by making it easier to trade without the hassles of owning the currency directly.

What's the difference between that and CFDs on eToro?
AirPods fall out of my ears significantly less than Apple's wired EarPods ear buds, which is to say almost never. (I guess it's because there's no cable pulling down on them.)
Then don't. GP said "seriously consider moving", not "move". Presumably the developer would do it if they value potential impact over the risk.
One big difference is that cash is too popular to ban entirely. If a major attack were somehow linked to Bitcoin, the US government could make the whole thing illegal. We all know that wouldn't do much to actually stop terrorist attacks, but it would be a major problem for a wealth manager trying to operate within the law, and being ineffective certainly hasn't stopped the US government from passing dumb anti-terror laws in the past.

> Now, we can debate whether these sections were made by a knife, by a cutter, or by twine but it is difficult to determine this from the carbonised loaves that have been excavated. It is probable that bakers may have used twine to define each of the eight sections of the panis quadratus but it does seem like a fairly intricate and tricky job to complete, requiring knots or loops at eight junctions on the twine that encircles the loaf horizontally.

I really think that scoring the loaf after raising (their method) looks nothing like the either the carbonized loaf from Pompeii or the fresco shown. What they look like is more akin to sectioning with something blunt, either with twine or a piece of wood.

Not to cut the sections, but to divide them so it can be pulled apart easily without a knife. It would be undesirable to actually cut the "skin" of the loaf. Then as they suggest, wrap twine around the circumference to pull it back together. The result would be more like a batch of rolls that can be pulled apart.

It makes sense they'd want to sell a loaf that can be easily eaten without a knife. Just scoring the loaf as they show doesn't give you a loaf that tears apart, the scores end up being just decorative and bakers do that to avoid a split when it bakes.
Airbag assemblies/controllers tend to have these.
Agreed. In many ways complexity is the enemy of politics.
> I am referring to the way many on the far left speak of intersectionality as a number of diversity or victimhood points to be tallied.

IME, to the extent that occurs, that's not at all typical of the far left, but (to the extent it happens at all), the weakly-ideology tribal-identity left.

> Here is an example. Being male is not a privilege for a young black man being stopped by a police officer in the United States.

It actually is in some ways; the ways gender interacts with race in that scenario is complex.

> On the contrary, it greatly increases the odds he will soon be unjustly killed.

It greatly increases the chance of being unjustly subject to non-sexual violence by the police; OTOH, it very much seems to (though numbers are much harder to come by) greatly decrease the chance of being subject to sexual violence by the police. Now, police sexual assault gets less attention (for many of the same reasons sexual assault more generally doesn't, regarding publicity being retraumatizing for victims, etc.), But it's a serious issue, with significant racial aspects, too.

Apple: "We deeply believe that diversity drives innovation”.

The company is certainly innovative but it's predominantly (2017) white and male but on the other hand Apple don't say what % diversity is needed to do this driving. Don't they just choose employees on merit irrespective of any other consideration? They'd be dumb if they didn't.

There are "official" translations of some laws, but not all of them. In any case they're always only meant as a convenience, the German version obviously being the only source of truth.

In this case the sentence is taken from the english version of their press release regarding the cayla dolls:

German laws are written in German and any translation is bound to miss many important subtleties (even a layperson's reading of the original is going to miss something). I found this translation last time this topic came up here (it was teddy bears with spy cams then). Honestly it's not really good, especially when debating finer details as happens downthread. At least it conveys the basic gist of it.

This should include all smart phones with children's games installed on them too.

My niece asked me to install some games on an old smartphone I let her play with. Out of about 15 I looked at, 15 asked for access to one or more of the camera, microphone, address book, location or just blanket ask for every permission under the sun. None of them needed these permissions for the actual game play of course.

How does Google find this kind of spying on children acceptable?

But is google even implying that the results are the absolute answer?

If I search for "how tall is tom cruise" and it gives me a number. It doesn't say that number is an absolute answer, it doesn't say that it's verified, it just shows the number.

I personally don't see that as any different than if it returned a few websites, all of which say the same thing when I go to them. In all cases it's "Google" giving me the answer (an evil google could just as easily return websites with false results on purpose), but the way it currently works, it gives me the answer faster and in a better format. And even if that answer isn't 100% factually correct or verified in any way, it's still the same quality I would have gotten from google in any other method.

If the answer is the same using both methods, wouldn't the only real solution to be "refuse to answer the question"?
Project Tuva: Richard Feynman's Messenger Lecture Series
Granada and Kosovo were both covered in the article.
I recently had a baby, and the self-realization that I am a jerk became very clear when I thought about the world. Let me explain:

From a young age, growing up in Queens, I quickly learned the value of being a jerk/asshole as a deterrent for getting "jumped" for my jacket/sneakers. The idea was: kids mugging other kids would go for easy targets. Even an inkling of belief that someone would put up a fight was a disincentive enough to avoid getting "jumped." Now, this wasn't always the case, but the converse (if easy target, then got jumped) was definitely prevalent.

Fast forward to adult age, and it's even more true- give an inch, and people will take a mile. As cynical as it sounds, I've been in many instances where my asshole-ness proved to be beneficial. For example, when someone tried to cut me in line at the grocery store, I let it go. When that same person was at the dog park with me later that night, and he became aggressive with MY dog, I lost my cool, which was mostly fueled by the prior transgression on his part. The guy apologized and to this day, this person has been saccharin to my wife at the dog park when I'm not there, but completely avoids me when I am.

Now, I know there's a fine line between being a jerk and assertive, but I think the line has been muddled over the years as our social norms have evolved to "always be kind- if not, you'll be seen as a jerk." I acknowledge that I am an insecure person, while at the same time, an egotistical person, but being a jerk has protected me from being taken advantage of.

Today, I wonder, how would I feel if my son turned out this way? How do I want the world to treat my son, and vice-versa? I then realize that if the world were filled with people like me, the world would be a terrible place. But, from a game theory perspective, I'm employing my best strategy.
