One difference is that most TVs are big, bulky appliances that could be cheaply retrofitted to the new technology. Sure, portable analog TVs existed but didn't really take off.

If FM is turned off, every single pre-digital clock radio, portable radio, integrated FM cellphone radio, car radio and boombox suddenly stops working and needs replacing. There's no government program to hand out vouchers to replace my boombox; I just have to junk it and buy another.

If DAB is so great, why does hardly anyone in the US bother with it? Unlike DTTV, it's broadcast alongside regular FM, so people can go out and buy a digital receiver any time they like. But they don't, because they have a perfectly good clock radio already and don't see a benefit.
There's a tradeoff between latency and efficiency. Longer frames can compress better, and you amortize any per-frame header over more stuff. Shorter frames incur more overhead from headers, and may not compress as well. 96ms seems like a reasonable choice for a realtimeish system without tight latency requirements, but I couldn't say why they chose exactly that number.
Hi @eitland! We wanted to start off relatively simply for the launch. Support for markdown and static assets, including images, css, raw HTML, etc.

However, we are definitely looking at supporting other formats moving forward. We just want to make sure we do not complicate Docusaurus too much by doing so. Trying to find a good balance.
> Religion

There is differences between some follows of religion and others. As a Theology Student who has read the Koran several times, I can tell you it is not based on the Koran, but more about ideology and worldview and not what their religion teaches them. This is why when most Muslims confront terrorist they tell them they aren't Muslims.

For example Westboro Church's stances and action are not built off of what Christianity traditions, scriptures or historical figures taught them but it based on their own twisted worldview and ideology that causes them to protest veteran's funeral and attempted to protest Sandyhook victim's funerals (Happy to say that my home state wouldn't let them get there)

So slamming all of "Religion" is being disagreeable. I think the biggest thing all of us, especially in US right now, needs to judge ourselves on how we treat people we disagree with.

Unfortunately, that's just a sliver of spectrum; the entire FM broadcast band is about 20 MHz wide, equivalent to a single 802.11b/g channel.

The entire AM (MW) band is little over 1.1 Mhz wide.
”When it was in good shape, the Thames Beater measured about two feet in length”

For me, that alone makes it unlikely it is a paddle. Google also gives me https://bendingbranches.com/sizing/canoe-paddle. The smallest paddle It suggests is a three feet paddle, and that is if your nose is 20 inches above your seat.

This also looks too heavy for a paddle. Looking at the pommel, I doubt that’s because they couldn’t do better at the time.

So, I doubt it is a paddle. A child’s cricket bat is more likely, given where it was found :-)

Let me be even more blunt: I suspect what you really mean is simply that people who disagree with you should be shut up.

Let me be a bit philosophical: Unless you are so arrogant as to believe that you are right about everything right now, the set of people you believe should shut up includes both your future and past self.

Perhaps you should accord to others the rights you are so anxious to claim for yourself.
The quality is not guaranteed. Many of the DAB stations in the UK are broadcast at such a low bitrate they are noticeably lower quality than good quality FM reception.

1. Counterparty risk cannot be eliminated, only reduced. The only counterparty with zero risk is a government, which can print more currency if supply is insufficient, devaluing everyone else's currency.

2. Exchanges do go down, the only question is how often. If the exchange does go down, you want the exchange to say, "We're doing our best, but volume has exceeded our capacity. We'll be up as soon as we can." The alternative is to continue to accept trades and pretend that everything is okay. Honesty is good.

I only use Facebook for work - promoting nonprofit events, but its utility is diminishing as there is a growing share of people who flee Facebook and it's now creating double work as I both need to support Facebook, and email and the format of work are different. Facebook made it especially hard when they removed the ability to invite the same people from an old event - now I have to go thru my over 1,000+ and select who I should invite to which event, which is total nonsense! For personal stuff, I still use Skype and Viber to keep up with friends and family.
So you are suggesting teaching basic cluster computing with an environment where one node can compute the results much faster and much easier?

> Conversations in the US in particular always get conducted as if government had to be bad...

Yes, that is generally the classical conservative point of view (as distinct from the current Republican party, which has been imploding for a while now).

This point of view holds that government should be small and basically its responsibilities are common defense, protecting and defending individual rights, and bringing bad actors to justice.

> We must have a functioning government! We must stop working around that.

Beyond the above definition, there can be no "functioning" government, because the more power given to government the more corrupt and self-serving it becomes. This is due to inherent imperfection in human nature and can't be avoided.

>national debt [...] no money to go around

Let's imagine that I'm a government that reserves the right to be sole issuer of my country's currency (though for political reasons I've delegated that power to a government-sponsored enterprise whose leadership I appoint). Now let's say I also issue securities denominated in that money. From my perspective, what's the difference between money and claims on money? From a holder's perspective, what's the difference between them? Even the obvious difference, one has yield and one does not, is pretty misleading, since the interbank rate tracks the securities rate.

This is childish and disingenuous. Yes, counterparty party risk can only be reduced. And only mathematical constants can actually be absolute. However for practical people operating in the real world there's an infinite difference between 20% risk and 0.005% risk. Infinite.

Same with your comment about exchanges - yes the NYSE and NASDAQ can go down. Once or twice a year. For 20 minutes. Coinbase (and Gemini and GDAX and Kraken and everyone) are going down for about x5 times that in any given week. Which is not a "a small qualitative difference". It's an infinite difference.

In the US, cars kill more people than opiods, more people than guns. If you're under 35, your highest chance of dying is in a car crash.

Of course, you won't see improvement any time soon. Every bike lane or safe street initiative is met with "But my parking!" Every fatal accident due to driver intoxication, negligence, or road rage is dismissed by judges and juries alike because "That's just how it is".

I'd be interested to see the results by loading the 1-2 edge of the die, or even the 1-2-3 corner. The former should result in more 5s and 6s, and the latter more 4s, 5s, and 6s. And since the weight would be not centered on a face, would make the die more likely to tumble over to a preferred face if the die had to shed its sideways momentum. The unbalanced die would prefer to tumble or skip when a non-preferred face shows, and slide or rock when a preferred face shows.

The problem, of course, is that there is no way to prevent your opponent from accidentally benefiting from your cheating. If you have biased the dice to favor 8s over 6s, they might just plop down on an 8 before you can place your settlements. You would have to use two sets of loaded dice, one biased high, and the other biased low, and swap them out after first settlements are placed.

Also, in my experience, the other players will still accuse you of cheating whether they can prove it scientifically or not, because they prefer to believe that you are better than they are at being sneaky and underhanded than better at honest strategy.

For instance, Clue (aka Cluedo) is a game where one skilled player can repeatedly curbstomp lesser skilled players. If you do, they then grab your player sheet to look at all the strange and indecipherable symbols you have on it that are not simple Xs, and they accuse you of cheating. You can either explain the mathematical advantage of the additional information you record, lose all future advantage against those players, and get accused of "breaking the game", or you can remain silent and still not be able to play it again because you're a "cheater".

Besides that, what self-respecting board gamer doesn't just leave the crappy wooden dice in the box, and use the good dice from their dice bag?

I like this analysis, though. It reminds me of the guy who designed a one-sided die.
Martin Gardner was amazing. I was privileged to meet him shortly before he left us, and he was still spry, mentally alert, and interested in nearly everything. Much of his work has dated badly, some equally, much of it is timeless, and just as engaging now as it was then.

Do you have any examples of this? Sounds cool
The webpage is quite unclear as to exactly what this is.
The biggest reason is that you cannot write `var someVariable: SomeGenericType<Type>` nor use it as a parameter or a return in a protocol, for example.

For another type to reference a generic type, it would either have to be generic itself, use a type erased `AnySomeGenericType<Type>` reference, or specify the exact version that's being used, e.g. ConcreteGenericType<Type>, which makes your code wayyyyy less abstract and entangled with another type.

This is very much something the language should handle, it just hasn't yet, so you have to write these large complicated boxing and unboxings.

Today's internet is more like "equal participation welcome", the decentralization being talked about in the article is at the ISPs level. Rather than having to choose from a few incompetent and monopolistic internet connectivity providers, decentralization would individuals to share wifi hotspots and create a mesh to which you can connect to. Ideally, this would allow people to get rid of blood sucking ISPs and would not be affected by the recent net neutrality disaster or any more of such but practically creating reliable high-speed user-participated decentralized ISPs haven't been possible, but might soon be.

Wait hang on, I was under the impression that a D check (?) did exactly this, every 6-7 years. This is second hand knowledge from a pilot buddy so maybe I'm forgetting something. Also it's on the civvy side of things, maybe the military does stuff differently?

If it's as simple as the military has shittier maintenance checks, then that's a solvable problem.

I think the WTF is that the original point of cryptocurrency was that it was supposed to be decentralized, with no big institutions that you must trust. Coinbase Custody is essentially reinventing the exact institutions that bitcoin was supposed to cut out of the loop.

You're supposed to store $10M in BTC on the blockchain, which - after all - records ownership of every bitcoin ever mined. And keep access to it in a paper wallet; control of those $10M lies in access to a private key, so if you keep the key secret, nobody can access them (like with Satoshi's $40B or so in Bitcoin).

That people don't seem to want to do this is perhaps a lesson in human nature that crypto-anarchists and other aficionados of "trustless completely-distributed systems" should perhaps heed. This same dynamic comes up over and over again, from open-source to the Internet to P2P and now to cryptocurrency.

I happened to write an email to Tim & Phil today (or whomever reads those public addresses) saying:

- My maxed out 2012 rMBP is going to be obsolete soon.
- The laptops available have unsatisfactory trackpads and keyboards.
- Those same laptops have poor I/O for professional use cases.
- There is no reasonable desktop solution either (I don't consider Late 2017 iMac Pro to be as good of an answer as a 2003 Mac Tower design with upgradable components, or just a custom Windows PC).

If they continue to sacrifice sleek design and limited I/O on laptops, and provide what I think is a lackluster long-term desktop solution, I have no clue what I'll buy when this machine bites the dust (someday)
