> Says the company that claimed it would be 1000x faster than NAND flash, it isn't, and moving the location of the bus isn't going to change that.

Using the IO bus instead of the memory bus is exactly why existing Optane products haven't delivered latency that's 1000x better than NAND flash. NVMe transactions take at least 5-10µs even with DRAM as the SSD media rather than NAND flash or 3D XPoint. Moving to the memory bus is a prerequisite to 3D XPoint fulfilling those original performance claims.

I have the same question, the situation seems pretty dire in the USA but as far as I'm aware we don't have nearly the same problem over here. And while most Indians probably don't speak French many African countries do (after all, that's where we put our call centers) and I'm sure if it was possible to make millions that way somebody would've tried.

I think the implication was "cryptocurrency cannot be subpoenaed by tax authorities when you are engaged in fiscal evasion".

This is certainly true, with an off-shore debit card linked to a crypto wallet one can evade most local taxes, while being exceptionally hard to trace down, unless engaging in conspicuous consumption.
But if you watch the video - you can fully interact with the screen without having to look at it. Just place two, three, four or five fingers anywhere on the screen and move up or down.

I know initially people's eyes will be drawn to the screen to check whether they are manipulating the right parameter etc., but over time, I would expect that the hand will just drop to the screen, (multi) touch and move without eyes having to leave the road.

>While pixel density is good, there is no substitute for pixel size ie, larger sensors.

Actually, there is: improved sensor technology. A sensor is not just a passive collector of photons (which would make size the only thing that matters).

All other things being equal, newer sensors usually improve on thermal noise, dynamic range, etc over older sensors. When things are not equal, a 5-6 generations older sensor might still have worse low light than a smaller one.
> Not really; the scattered polling I've seen over the years have shown self-described libertarians as only slight more supportive of legalization of any drugs (even just marijuana) as the US public as a whole, much less the left.

Reason is not your average rank-and-file libertarian; it's an ideological paper. Think average Republican voter vs. National Review columnists. Do a quick search for "marijuana" and you'll get stories that speak positively of legalization; search for "MDMA" and you'll get stories celebrating its approval for treatment of PTSD. Again - this article takes a position traditionally associated with the left-wing, because this particular publication takes a classical ideological libertarian position.
Well, they don't have an obligation to reimburse, but reimbursing in a discriminatory fashion could still be legally suspect. There's a difference between not reimbursing at all and reimbursing in a way that excludes certain people. Just like that case with Uber and jackets only for male team members - nobody is required to give out free jackets, but if you only give ones to males and not females, you'll end up in trouble. If not legal one than certainly PR one.

Touchscreens are for UI that needs to reconfigure constantly -- i.e., for multiple-purpose devices. Smartphones are great examples. One minute it's a restaurant review guide, then it's a messaging device, then it's a compass, then it's a camera. When you need more buttons, they appear, when you need fewer buttons, they disappear.

A car is largely a single purpose device. You always have the same few set of things you want to do in the car. Climate, Radio, Maps, etc. A touchscreen is a boneheaded interface for this device.

Imagine if your on-off lightswitches were touchscreens. If your stovetop interface was a touchscreen. If your refrigerator ice dispenser was a touchscreen (I've seen this). Completely moronic, every single one of them.

The UK government has a great website for this, where you can look up restricted things and the reason for the restriction. Search for "frames". Mostly it's because they're used for ballistics and weapons imaging.

They're listed under item 6A003 (broadly, cameras) on the export list which includes:

- Cinema cameras with frame rates more than 13,150fps

- Mechanical/electronic cameras with frame rates more than 1M fps

- Frame readout speeds of more than 125 fps full frame.

The last one is interesting, you can buy machine vision cameras with higher frame rates fairly easily, so perhaps it's only something to worry about if you're traveling.

yes there is absolutely an issue of unconscious bias and I don't doubt it's a universal affliction. But this is why we need journalists to be non-partisan - at the moment we only have left- and right- news sources, meaning it's on the reader to piece together the real story by reading both sides, discounting leaps of faith that each side is all too keen to make, then combining whatever remains. Most readers won't do that, which I believe is a huge contributor to polarisation - people who only read left sources become further left and people who only read right sources become further right, and nothing ever seems to be getting better. I would pay a decent subscription fee to a news source that employed people with many differing perspectives to both pick apart the fact-reporting of an article, and to provide a separate opinion piece with explicit demarcations of the writer's political affiliation.

Skipping stops is something our buses used to do (rural Netherlands), this would usually happen if one bus was late so the next one was right behind it. Makes no sense for a full bus to stop when nobody has to get out when there's an empty one driving the same route right behind it.

Experienced bus travelers would often know when there'd be two buses in a row, too. And of course the bus drivers would point it out.
> The EU is probably better off with the UK in it

Personally I don't agree. I think they are better in the EEA, but not in the EU. The UK has traditionaly blocked, what I believe to be, important matters such as EU defense proposals, laws blocking tax dodging, etc. The UK has always had, what I believe to be, a different agenda to the rest of the Europeans. Keeping the UK out of EU decision making will be beneficial to the rest. Having the UK in the EEA will be beneficial to everybody.

6 Ways to Empower Your Sales Reps with Digital Commerce Tools
> Not to mention that today it seems that every phone is taking advantage of computational image processing in order to give a more "DSLR like" image, while ILC cameras aren't implementing this at all.

When it comes to ILC cameras, the role of processing is fulfilled by the photographer's editing software (e.g. Lightroom, Capture One Pro, Photoshop, RawTherapee, Darktable etc.). Especially these days, with the camera market being decimated by smartphones, the kind of person who uses a dedicated camera usually wants control over the processing.

> I'm sure in many cases a cellphone camera will shoot a better image than something like your RX100 due to this.

The out of camera JPEG on a smartphone might look nicer than an out of camera JPEG on an RX100M6 but after a bit of processing with the right software, the RX100M6 will blow it away. The resolution, dynamic range and noise characteristics are all much better. The RX100M6 can even shoot 24fps RAW for quick HDR brackets if you need it to.

Smartphones will definitely produce a nice image easier than a real camera but a real camera in the end, with the right work, still produces a better image.
Perhaps it is used to stop thinking in some other circumstances, but I don't think that's what's happening here. When people make three-sentence internet comments featuring the phrase "Why don't we just", they often appear to have not yet _started_ thinking about the answer to their own question. I think it's fair to prompt them not to outsource all their thinking to the forum.
8-9% of the income tax. Since income tax is substantially less than 100%, the church tax is substantially less than 8% of income.
I am a little late to reply, but I wanted to anyway from my experience as a Harvard physics PhD that is choosing to leave academia:

Many PhD programs are their own bubble, and many students don't seriously consider outside opportunities because of it. I honestly do not believe many of the students would be there if they had more exposure to basically anything outside of research, and more students would also consider other opportunities earlier if there was more exposure or a better connection. I really wish internships were better embraced by physics PhD's, but the current competitive culture combined with disagreeable professors makes it not encouraged. (Not to mention the fact that a 3 month internship is a drop in a bucket for a 6+ year PhD)

Otherwise, it is great to hear this person decided to leave their PhD program and found happiness (regardless of what she is doing). One thing I tell people who aren't sure about what they want to do post-graduation (e.g. most physics PhD's), or even if they aren't a good fit for the group they are in: if you took an entire month off from your PhD to make that decision would you regret it? I personally believe in almost all cases you wouldn't.

Strangely, many students seem to either default to a postdoc or put a half-assed effort towards finding an industry job.

UK: local authorities charge a property tax based on the value of homes determined some time ago. The amount raised is insufficient to cover costs so central government provide a 'revenue support grant' to each of the local authorities in the UK country in question. That money comes from income tax which is paid to the central government in the UK.

The formula used to calculate the level of revenue support changes, some would say that the changes are politically based.

My feeling is that, given the robust politics that appears to exist in the US, coupled with what again appears to be frequent recourse to litigation between levels of government, you don't want to go down that route.

I am a VoIP developer and my recommendation for WebRTC is to just use any legacy Softswitch or IP-PBX. These are more matured software, with tons of features and all of them has support (also) for WebRTC.
Most of them has much better performance than Node.js implementations (you can handle more simultaneous clients). Both open-source and commercial software is available with good support:

-Asterisk: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+WebRTC+S...

-FreeSwitch: https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/WebRTC

-Mizutech: https://www.mizu-voip.com/Software/VoIPServer.aspx

If you choose a softswitch which doesn’t have built-in WebRTC support, you can easily add it using a WebRTC-SIP gateway module:

-Doubango: https://github.com/DoubangoTelecom/webrtc2sip

-MRTC: https://www.mizu-voip.com/Software/WebRTCtoSIP.aspx

-Janus: https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/

On the client side you can use any RFC 7118 compilant WebRTC client:

I disagree. The problem isn't so much that the cab isn't warm as it is that if the engine is way below the steady state running temperature (and thus the oil isn't yet lubricating real well), you're far more like to get boundary lubrication (among other wear and bad things) in the powertrain, especially if you load the engine up at all. It's worth it when it's cold out to let the engine idle for a couple of minutes just to save on wear.

> The fact that nature cannot be described by any local hidden variable theory tells you a lot about the nature of reality.

If assumed to be true, it means one has to use non-local models such as the quantum theory. Those do not explicitly deny objective reality. Perhaps by "objective reality" you actually mean non-contextual hidden variable theory (a theory that assigns well-defined values to all quantum observables at all times). Then yes, those are incompatible with quantum theory predictions. But I would not use the term objective reality. It is unclear and too general.

> there is a real difference -- one which you can experimentally measure -- between a particle whose position you don't know because you haven't looked at the result of a measurement, and a particle whose position you don't know because it hasn't been measured at all.

Indeed, but this difference has nothing to do with objective reality, and everything to do with the actions of the experimenter or apparatus. In the first option, there is interaction with the particle but experimenter ignores it, and in the second, there is no interaction with the particle. Of course the two situations are different and can result in different results of other measurements.
>My friend has a newer Edge and it's all touchscreen. You need a copilot to adjust the AC.

It surprises many non techies I talk to (and techies too) to learn that AI hasn't really come very far in a few decades. We're a bit faster (by orders of magnitude to be sure), but AI "summers" are characterized primarily by it being a bit cheaper to put old limited things in products, and not by some abstract march of tech progress.

Given Moore's law, I'd be surprised if we ever see another AI summer after the current one peters out.

Hey Drew, long time no see.

Good posts. I see your point and I don't disagree with it. It's been a clear trend though that more and more people are moving away from email though.

I think with some people starting to get overwhelmed with Slack, especialling software engineerings, perhaps email will trend back up again and this can be feasible.

Personally, my favorite thing about GitHub isn't any single feature. It's the social aspect that's developed around it for open-source projects.

GitLab, Bitbucket, will struggle to take over without the social aspect. Email has it, in it's own way I guess.
