I think the reduction in aerodynamic drag mostly relates to the flow of air at the back of the car, to reduce the low pressure area.. so wouldn't change what's happening at the front too much. Also, since the 80s, improvements have been minor(?), and besides, road speeds have possibly increased, which you would expect to increase the incidence of squashed bugs.

Poetry, like mathematics, is something you do. You can talk about it all day, but eventually you’ll have to get your hands dirty and develop a taste. You don’t have to but it helps to get your hands dirty. Once you develop a taste, you begin to look for others who have similar taste. It’s possible you haven’t found your taste yet. It’s common for mathematicians to only have taste for particular branches of math. Poets and those who like poetry are the same way.

For what it's worth, my parents work in providing either free or below market rate housing. People provided eith such housing can have trouble keeping it due to their various personal problems.

I agree with you that there is a housing cost gradient which will cause people with moderate addiction or mental health issues to become homeless.

It's hard to keep any housing if you can't keep a job and your entitlements don't cover everything.

This is just pointlessly pedantic. You are going to get into all sorts of problems if you arbitrarily substitute any of velocity, acceleration or energy for any of the others. Having unstated dependencies is only going to lead to avoidable confusion.

The key insight revealed in the term 'escape velocity' is that it is independent of the mass of the body. It is also independent of how quickly it acquires that velocity.

The first Unibody Mac was still a very nice machine, even if the display wasn't actually a unibody. The chassis felt like nothing before it, and it was so nicely machined with a super rigid keyboard. MagSafe with separate board. Extremely easy to access battery and HDD (with a really nicely designed little lever system). Unscrew the bottom cover and easy access to RAM. Rigidity of the chassis helped keep ports in good condition.

It's only real flaw IMO was the superglossy glass screen. Fragile and extremely annoying under fluorescent lights. Plenty of the machines lasted a long time despite the glue deteriorating from heat.

You're right about them spending no money on maintenance because repair is a profit centre for them. Rossman is right about Apple's durability issues, too - almost every generation of MacBook has had at least one significant design flaw (from the 8600GT to delaminating screen coatings).

They're only getting worse as they go over the top with proprietary connectors and interfaces, and iDevice levels of integration. I mean, Apple have reimplemented M.2 and NVMe in their stupid proprietary SSDs at least 4 times now. It's utterly ridiculous. If your custom blade SSD dies, which it inevitably will at some stage, your only options are Apple support or OWC (or gamble with second hand parts).

At least in the past they used to get the human stuff right (mostly). No Apple MacBook has ever shipped with a low quality LCD panel, for example. I've never heard significant coil whine from any Mac. I've never heard any Mac that has loud fans at idle (except under an error condition). I've never had a Mac that burnt me. I've never had a Mac with poor speakers. The trackpads have always been best-in-class. The keyboards have always been very good.

Until 2016.
Is there something wrong with doing this?
Yeah, and it's understandable why they would say that. Realistically the only places people care about in California are Los Angeles and San Francisco (and to some extent Sacramento and San Diego), and compared to LA, SF is definitely north. Culturally and politically, though, north of Sacramento is quite different from SF. I mean, you see lots of signs supporting the formation of Jefferson State (and seceding from CA). I've had California natives talk about how SF wasn't really northern CA. And geographically, it actually is kind of mid (on the northern end of mid, but still).

It's not that anyone is bring kicked to the curb for being mentally ill or addicted. However, for most housing, you have to pay and respect some rules. If you can't pay or can't respect the rules, then you'll either have to find another place or you'll become homeless. The individual interaction is not heartless, but it is pragmetic. The larger issue does still need to be addressed.

The next question is whether their parents have any troubles...
Well, it seems really expensive when I compare to the price of led lights I'm used to. eg local supermarket. :)
Slightly related but very interesting: the 2010 Twitter bug where simply tweeting "Accept [username]" would automatically force them to follow you.

My understanding is that for the sake of simpler interfaces such as SMS, which they let hold the whole service back for a long long time, they had a "follow [username]" feature - and if the person had to approve follow requests, it would send one to them. To accept the request, you just sent "accept [username]" and the follow would happen. However, they never actually checked that a request had ever been sent before allowing you to accept it, allowing you to simply force anyone to follow you with a single tweet.

Next time you make a seemingly obvious mistake, don't feel too bad. Even Twitter did it.

Actually Cinepaint was used for a quite a while in the movies where it served it's purpose rather well. There was a point in time where studios I believe were funding the development of it because commercial offerings at the time were poor.

The list of movies is listed on the Cinepaint wikipedia page, and I'm not sure that's all of them. It seems like the last movie listed was back in 2003.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CinePaint

As to why it's not more popular? I'm guessing because studios switched over to commercial offering once Adobe and other software houses got their act together, and provided software with more features and support than Cinepaint.

That only applies to actual illegal aliens. If you are a US citizen immigration has no legal right to detain or arrest you.

"As a matter of law, ICE cannot assert its civil immigration enforcement authority to arrest and/or detain a U.S. citizen." https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/when-ice-tries-...

If my very limited understanding of this is correct, this is a perfect real-life example of a Catch-22: citizens have no right to an attorney if arrested by immigration because immigration cannot legally arrest citizens.
NP means that a solution can be verified to be valid. Like the reviewer saying “yep, this is a car all right”. But verifying whether a solution is optimal is not generally even in NP.

I made a program to add spaces into Chinese text, which requires a lot of string comparisons.

https://pingtype.github.io

The algorithm works as follows: Read 5 characters. Is that in the dictionary? No. What about the first 4? No. 3? No. 2? Yes! Copy to the output string, add a space, slide along 2 characters. Repeat.

Searching a 5 MB dictionary repeatedly like this was too slow. I made it a little faster by splitting the dictionary based on the number of characters in the word (fiveWords, fourWords, threeWords, twoWords). It's still slow, though. I have to run it in local JavaScript, because I don't have a server. Any suggestions?

On a totally different extreme, the iTunes Store's EPF data (freely available!) is 55 GB of text. I'd like to sort out Artist names by Producer. To grep the file takes 30 mins. Is there a faster way?

Third, my algorithm for offline StackOverflow was optimised for disk space. I search the index of titles as 200MB of plain text to get the post ID. Then I use dd to get a 4KB chunk of the tar.bz2 compressed file. I can read it using bzip2recover. Then I check if the post ID is there, and binary search like that. It's slow (5 seconds to load) but doesn't waste my precious disk space, and I can be patient when I need offline StackOverflow.

IANAL, but if ICE actually detained a U.S. citizen, wouldn't the citizen have the right to file a habeas petition regardless of the "immigration" nature of detention?
Note that strstr will stop as soon as you have a 0 byte so this is not a fair comparison.

When intel says 10nm is that the same as TSMCs 10nm, or, is TSMCs 7nm the same as intels 7nm process, or are they describing different processes?
Based on my reading, it is a mistake at first, but when the government discovered the mistake, they just pressed on and tried to argue that actually he wasn't a citizen anyway.
I think the real question is: should they have shut down in Summer 2017 when it was clear the $50/mo model didn't work, or should they have tried this. (If they knew of a better business alternative, they would have done that.)
With all due respect, this reply isn’t going to fly. This is a pretty pretentious copout that attempts to end the exchange while saving you from needing to provide any details or engage with the underlying material in any way.

I provided a very specific computational counter-example to your statement. You’ll need to start there if you wish to compose a serious reply.

I’ll restate the counter-example for your convenience. One can provide just enough continuous thrust to move an object at a fixed unchanging speed of 1mph for a long time (about 283 million years), at which point it will have reached a distance where the escape velocity is only 1mph. Once it has surpassed that distance, one can disable the thrust and the object will have completely escaped Earth’s gravity without ever having moved at more than 1mph. It will then asymptotically slow down to 0 mph over an infinite amount of time.
>, just because you accept one as harmless doesn't mean the other isn't harmful.

I never said Facebook isn't harmful. My analogy was not an apologetic defense of Facebook. It's unfortunate that I can't even discuss Facebook in an intellectual and detached manner without first prefacing it with the "Facebook-is-my-enemy" street credentials first.[1][2] I've never had a Facebook account and I never will.[3]

My analogy is specifically about "product" being a label that (unintentionally) makes people dumber, not smarter, about the economics of multi-sided markets. I found it fascinating that attendees to music festivals were not hammered with the pejorative label "you are the product" -- even though that's what they were. The analogy points out that to "get something for free" in a multi-sided market, an indirect payment has to be made to make that happen -- and it happens in other businesses besides Facebook.

Why would non-nuclear power on such a planet be more difficult?
Not really. Intel 14nm is better than TSMC 10nm. The processes are way way way more complicated than can be distilled down into a single number. And the number has become a marketing number. So yeah, Intel 10nm is perhaps somewhat comparable to TSMC 7nm.

But what is "High volume production" really? This is another marketing term! Intel has produced and sold a couple 10nm chips, though they are hard to find. TSMC 7nm chips are not in any consumer's hands yet. We'll have to wait and see ...
AI and the Future of the Web and Internet
They're different processes, and the way Intel describes feature sizes makes their nodes denser then the "equivalent" TSMC node. Probably not 30% denser, though.
For a while I had my display name (as opposed to @ handle) on Twitter set to the empty string. It didn't cause major issues as far as I could tell, though it would cause some Twitter clients to display my tweets unusually.

I achieved this by entering a greater than symbol (>) in the input field. Twitter presumably tried stripping any HTML tags, which resulted in an empty string. I'm not sure if this still works; they might have fixed that bug. Presumably something similar happened with the accounts that have empty @ handles.
No, you have a data point that says they created a chip that performed better on a single test for a single domain of work. You also have a data point that says tpu can't do any 64-bit simulations. It's not half the cost. See previous comment. It's about 100x the cost after 51 days.
I interviewed there in August 2017 and they used a service for reference checks that I provided several contacts to.
I think the idea is that non-nuclear power would be insufficient given the rocket equation, so the only way they could have rocketry is if it was nuclear powered.
Suicide, violence, and going underground: FOSTA’s body count
Note that if you malloc that big of a block, it's going to come directly from a MAP_ANONYMOUS mmap, and so it will be zero initialized!

Your uninitialized mode is slower than zeroed, but nowhere near as slow as random.

The difference between initialized and uninitialized may be due to page faults: in the uninitialized case, the search is touching the memory for the first time. Maybe we're seeing TLB misses?
AFAICT it's illegal for ICE to incorrectly decide you are not a US citizen. If they made a mistake in their determination then they have violated the law. So citizens don't have a right to a lawyer because immigration law doesn't apply to US citizens. But if ICE is wrong they should get sued to hell and back and this penalty seems horrifying low for 3.5 years of wrongful imprisonment.

>Meanwhile the marginal cost of an extra customer in the gym membership model decreases at scale. [...] This isn't the case for MoviePass. Each ticket costs the company the same amount.

I think it's reasonable to say that MoviePass's expenses don't scale as well as a gym's, but I bet they scale to some extent. Customers who want to see movies frequently were probably the first to sign up, while those who only go occasionally have less to gain by signing up and might wait longer or be more hesitant to do so. So their marginal customer probably has a lower usage rate than their overall customer base.

Ostensibly they're going to profit in the long run by selling data on the usage of their service, not on the service itself. I'm skeptical that this will pan out, but it's not completely implausible. The film industry is huge, it faces high fixed costs and low marginal costs, and I suspect that effective marketing can have a substantial impact on consumers' likelihood to see particular films. Data-driven marketing is likely to be highly profitable under those conditions, whether it's implemented by MoviePass, a different third party, or the studios themselves.
