> uhhh what were they going to do? Unlock the door and stop the flood?

"When your bathroom has flooded, the most important thing to do is to shut of your water as soon as possible. If you don’t know how to do it, it’s good to call a plumber and hopefully they can help you shut it off over the phone before they get to your house to assess damage. If the leak is coming from a toilet or sink, there is usually a knob near the pipes that you can turn to the right and shut off. You will also need to shut off the electricity of the flooded rooms with the main breaker. If you see sparks or smell gas vacate your house and call the fire department, only going back in until they tell you it is safe." https://texashomeandgarden.com/idea-center/bathroom/bathroom...

We rarely encounter natural plasma, unless we’re lucky enough to see the Northern lights, or if we look at the Sun through a special filter, or if we poke our head out the window during a lightning storm, as I liked to do when I was a kid.

Right. Anyone who ever struck a match has produced a natural plasma right then and there. Neon lights and plasma [!] TVs are pretty common this side of the Atlantic. A fun way to create a microwave plasma is to microwave half a grape [1]. An even more fun way is to leave a fork in the microwave oven.

Yeah, the requirement for an identifiable entity in order to merge code is ass covering and nothing more. They want to know who the author is in case of copyright infringement. In that case they can say, "If you want to sue someone, sue them. They claimed that they were able to merge this code." There's no legal requirement to do this; it's just a good idea.

You can allow random people to merge code into your repository, but if there is a legal problem, expect people to knock on your door. As you say, in the case of the Android change, it's obvious that the commit is anonymous on purpose.

There are currently two competing narratives about what is racist: On one side, it's considered racist to make decisions based on race. On the other side, it's considered racist to make decisions without considering race, and the history of power and oppression that comes with it.

One side sees a productive way to move forward by not repeating the mistakes of the past. The other side sees a way to make the future better by correcting the mistakes of the past. It's one of the most difficult we face as both as a society and as individuals: often in literature a character will be driven to avenge a past injustice and at the height of narrative arc, will be forced to consider his motivations and the consequences of his goal. The YA novel A Long Way Down and the movie Blue Ruin both explore this concept poignantly, without ever giving us easy or generalizable answers.

Because racial politics can be so mentally poisoning, a far more neutral thought experiment is to consider a fund reserved exclusively for funding military veterans. That's a kind of situation where almost everyone can see both sides to the issue: how can you deny their contribution and sacrifices? And yet how can you fail to see the unintended but inevitable consequences that creates?

That's not really accurate. Even in cases were 32 bit and 64 bit operations are equally fast on the CPU, 32 bit values still take up half the memory. For many workloads, the limiting factor is cache space. So, if you can use 32 but values, you can get much better performance for those workloads.

This may be an unreasonable risk-reward tradeoff. On the upside, you saved some money. On the downside, you risked (a) an international incident, (b) being cut off from future updates and (c) bringing unnecessary attention to your surveillance project. Much better tradecraft to try buying cleanly, thereby incentivizing everyone on both sides to co-operate, while keeping the shady tactics as a back-up plan.
This is why I believe Trump was inevitable, without a Trump, to .. make life more and more miserable, we can't forge leaders willing to fight back.

If the Empire wasn't that bad, we wouldn't need a rebellion, and star wars would've been boring. We needed an evil empire to forge strong opposition, and that's why we have Trump, something to oppose. Does, feel like the rest of the world isn't too far behind us in going down a shitty path though..

Nationalism is rising everywhere not just USA (including Xenophobia), china's social credit score is scary and could be adopted here in America some day, water shortages are going to be worse and worse, job loss to ai could be horrible, etc.. I think because of the way technology is wrapped all around the current climate politically and globally, its hard to keep things in specific exact cycle targets probably, because a lot of what has and will happen is largely unknown because we don't know how fast technology will develop and change the landscape.

When will all truck drivers be replaced by ai? 2020, 2030? Never? It's still too soon to tell on a lot, but my gut says the 20's is going to be a VERY interesting decade, and I HOPE a more positive one than this one has been.

> Also, Shortcuts don’t require the web to work – the voice triggers might not work, but the suggestions and Shortcuts app give you a place to use your assistant voicelessly. And importantly, Shortcuts can use the full power of the web when they need to.

Witnesses can be raided under german law, there are some reasons for it, esp. when it's suspected the witness is hiding evidence.

However, the raid is still out of bounds in certain other aspects (though I suspect the "take everything" the police pulled is more related to the officers having no idea what a server is vs a desktop computer. It wouldn't be the first time police officers simply don't know so they take it all)
Chips require certification to make sure merchant is sending the right data over the network. This is why you see chip readers but the merchant only supports swipe.

Even scientific calculation would be fine with 32 bit floats, but average floating point error due to representation creeps with ON (iirc) over N multiplications, so you have to use 64 bit for many scientific applications to get satisfactory results after a million or a trillion multiplications.

I can remember growing up my Dad purchased a new Pentium 133, this must have been around 1995/1996. It was absolutely cutting edge machine at the time and had a "S3 trio" PCI card in it. I have vague memories of playing Quake on it and being blown away at the graphics. A few years later 3dFX Glide cards were cutting edge for gaming.

I started university around that time stopped following gaming/computer hardware scene but really felt to me like Nvidia came from absolutely nowhere.

Deliberately breaking an existing feature that caused zero trouble to any past, present, or hypothetical future user is never, in any circumstances, "perfectly reasonable". It may be largely inconsequential, it may be cynically obvious, it may be not worth fussing about, but not "perfectly reasonable".

Correct. In Maryland and probably other states it’s Medicaid that pays MCOs. “Obamacare” seems to be a colloquialism for all programs that resulted from the ACA. I believe MCOs paid by Medicaid are from the ACA. Certainly the ACA mandated I had to enroll, buy a plan or pay the penalty.

And if you’re doing heavy floating point work, you can fit twice as many operations in with a 32-bit float vector as an equally sized double vector, and The vectorized operations happen roughly as fast for both forms, yielding an approximate doubling of speed.

I switched to car play and use Siri a lot more then I used to. For most things it is fine. Others... this could help.

One thing I would like to know is why Siri cannot answer basic questions about what music is on my phone. For example, “what albums by New Order do I have on my iPhone?”. That does not work but “play album Substance 1987 by New Order” does.
SiriKit and Siri Shortcuts are very different things.

SiriKit allows you to build Siri support into your app a la Android Actions, but Siri Shortcuts is designed to allow drag-and-drop end-user "programming" of workflows that can be triggered by Siri.

"Hey Siri, I'm on my way home" could turn on you thermostat up, order you a pizza, remotely trigger your IoT enabled kettle and start playing your home-commute playlist.

For the more advanced of us, Workflow currently allows doing things like calling arbitrary REST APIs and parsing JSON. I've reverse engineered the API of a local coffee-ordering app so I can one-click order my morning coffee.

Next thing I'm planning is my "I need a coffee" button which will get the nearest cafe, order me a flat white, and pull up the directions.

The doctors/instructors there usually have the most up to date practices/references and other (local-)specific resources. I would recommend checking those out.

Most books will talk in generic terms, they (doctors/instructors) tend to get really deep on things which can be awesome.

Right, is what is rationally justified decided by what is democratically popular? The best solution would allow for customizable curation, where different systems of authority and checks/balances on that authority could be tried, with different participants.

Equally-weighted voting is obviously not the solution for promoting rational debate, since in almost all domains there are a select few with much more knowledge than all others.
