I hope you are right; I see WebAssembly (or a potential successor) to be the missing gap in the ecosystem, which Java (as well as some previous small attempts) attempted to be. Since javascript (or ecmascript for the purists) now runs server-side (e.g. node.js), there's no reason wasm could not run everywhere.
If we imagine Netflix traffic as milk trucks delivering milk B2C, the “downlink” road to a milk buyer’s house would likely be maintained by neighborhood home owners’ association, thus ultimately paid for by the consumer.

Those highways between the farm and the neighborhood, though… Anyway, either the analogy breaks or it’s onto something!

> Those Bolshevik soldiers and their leaders the proceeded to make the situation a lot worse than Tsar

Lenin was exported to Russia by Germany with the specific aim of causing a revolution. To mangle Churchill’s quote, Lenin was sent in as “plague bacillus”. Obviously he acted with a lot of local support, but German intervention wanted and helped fund the revolution to end the war on their Eastern Front.

In hindsight it wasn’t a very good strategy for Germany.
Neural networks explained
ISPs were or are double dipping. They actively started throttling Netflix even when there was no congestion or traffic only so that they could extort money out of Netflix. You could access YouTube, Vimeo or their own video-on-demand without any compromise in quality but Netflix was forced to a crawl.

If Netflix wants to pay extra to deal with saturation they are more than welcome too but if ISPs are denying their subscribers access to a service, even when spare bandwidth was available and sitting unutilized then its time for pitchforks to come out
Yes, no victim, no crime.
Losing access is a matter of degrees. It doesn't make sense for the EU to cut off access of their market to google products and services completely.

My understanding is that the "certain Google proprietary apps" most importantly contain the Play store. Yes, in theory you could install FDroid - however if you, as a manufacturer, don't want to break the "install our app" flows of basically every website, you need the Play store - and therefore you also need to install Chrome, default Google Search and never sell a phone with Lineage OS installed ever again.

Not sure if the same licensing also applies to Google Play Services - if yes, this might make it difficult to even run the apps without getting the license, no matter which store is used.

Interesting point: fast.com prefers my IPv6 connection, which is through a Hurricane Electric tunnel that Netflix won't serve. As a diagnostic for Netflix, that makes this useless.
Apple doesn't license their OS to OEMs. I'd say them blocking alternative browser engines is controversial though. Also they dislike people using certain libraries, emulator technology, providing the ability to execute downloadable scripts (e.g. flash), etc.
Which is a practical difference.
I feel like this is a good explanation of the issue.
What kind of argument is this supposed to be?

Russia was at an average level of development in 1918.
European parts of Russia (St Petersburg) where relatively modern, and
while much of the rest of the country was rural and backwards

* there is no reason whatsoever to assume that it wouldn't have been
developed with other forms of government in Russia, whether under
a Tsar, or -- even better -- a modern western democracy.

* Bolsheviks retarded the development of Russia. All comparable
western nations developed faster, practically all 'Soviet'
technology was basically invented in the west. The Soviets had
nothing to offer but violence.

For example (from [1]): "Russia's population growth rate from 1850 to
1910 was the fastest of all the major powers except for the United
States."

Let me emphasise: I'm not saying that the Tsarist regime was
particularly good, just a lot better than the Bolsheviks. If Russia had stayed Tsarist, or -- even better -- become a normal western democracy, it would have been much better than the Bolshevik rule.

Morning glory seeds are certainly hallucinogenic.

Not sure if the variety sold at Walmart will produce an effect. Also not sure if they’ve been treated with something to make you ill.
Saying that the Tsar's death was because he was anti-semitic gives credibility to the notion that Bolshevism had a large Jewish influence. Is that what you're trying to say?
Which is a kind of silly decision on Google's part, because they have far and away the superior product and also the superior brand. Even if the option was given at setup, nearly everyone choosing to buy an Andriod phone would select google as the default search engine...

Um, when this whole debacle started, I saw articles which said that Netflix offered to pay for hardware and put more capacity in ISPs datacenters but ISPs refused and instead wanted more money to give access on the last-mile connectivity
Exactly.

As far as I know Nickleback is still legal and we don’t see widespread use.
Google is in fact forcing all device manufacturers to use Gapps and do many other things or else lose access to all the features that make Android be Android. Companies like Sony, Samsung, HTC are only allowed to ship official Android devices if they want to continue to be able to do mobile-related business with Google.

For instance if Philips wanted to ship an Android TV without spyware, they would have to remove some Google apps => anti-fragmentation clause kicks in => Philips isn't allowed to sell official Android devices any more.

But they can continue to sell Philips-Android devices which nobody would want because they're missing critical features which would be disabled by Google shutting down their official Android access.

So actually Google has Philips by the balls, even if Android is open source. The EU doesn't like that.

It may not hurt their margins much to use more expensive thermal compound, but it definitely won't help them in any meaningful way. These products are optimized for real-world bursty workloads that basically never hit a serious thermal limit that better paste could help with. Even on the desktop chips, delidding and replacing the thermal compound provides no benefit until you're pretty far into overclocking territory.

You know that Samsung has their own app store, right? By your explanation that wouldn't be possible because they also ship the Google Play store. But it is. Samsung replace many other apps too. What Google requires is that their services are available, not that others aren't.

The different stories people are telling here about why Google is "abusive" don't correlate with the realities of how Android licensing actually works.

Also since when is 75% market dominance? 75% is popular but that's still a quarter of the population successfully choosing an alternative.

I think Google gave away too much control with Android. By making it open source they let OEMs fork it and make worse versions. Apple exerts much more control and consumers appreciate it.

That type of thing.

Also interesting to note that LSD & MDMA have similar origin stories. They were both previously synthesized and catagorized as unuseful and then interesting characters had a flash of insight to resynthesize them after decades of being dormant.
This fine isn't about monopoly. But Google:

- has required manufacturers to pre-install the Google Search app and browser app (Chrome), as a condition for licensing Google's app store (the Play Store);

- made payments to certain large manufacturers and mobile network operators on condition that they exclusively pre-installed the Google Search app on their devices; and

- has prevented manufacturers wishing to pre-install Google apps from selling even a single smart mobile device running on alternative versions of Android that were not approved by Google (so-called "Android forks").

Not in the US style of drug ads, but not completely banned either; things like Tylenol and the various cold and flu drugs can be advertised. I’ve never seen ads for something that would be prescription-only in other countries except for Viagra and a coupe of other ED drugs, and that’s an edge case.

As far as I can see all drug advertisements (including things such as social media promotions) have to be approved by the Saudi FDA, and they don’t seem lenient at all in allowing ads for anything beyond the aforementioned meds.

The old chip pulled 33% less than its rated TDP in the real world.

Also, lol if you actually think TDP means anything anymore. Over the last 5 years it's become a marketing number more than anything else. It gives you a vague category of what power consumption will look like... at base clocks, under a non-AVX workload. Modern processors will happily blast past their TDP by 50-100% if there is thermal headroom available.

(And that's where laptops come up short - they can't actually cool a steady-state load, so these laptops will happily turbo themselves into a wall, and then once the heatsink is saturated they'll thermally throttle. Looks great in a 30-second benchmark though!)
I think you'll find that any device with a lithium ion battery will have similar temperature ratings if the manufacturer is being honest. Everything else in the machine is fine with much hotter temperatures, but cooking the battery is a bad idea.

You're assuming Apple's thermal solution was adequate to begin with.
I'm not familiar with the specifics of HaYonim Cave, but in general I do think a major issue is that what people do with their corpses is ritualized and often class/role centric. So what exactly did they do with their dead? Who knows. And that's really the problem. These measurements all come down to make some fairly substantial, and unprovable, assumptions. And there are the other issues you also are not considering, and are generally not considered. There are a practically infinite number of reasons that developmental correlations between contemporary humans and groups 10,000+ years in the past might no longer hold. Yet we have to assume that they do. Again, it's another fairly substantial, yet unprovable, assumption.

And in general that's the problem. We have to make a whole lot of optimistic assumptions, but if even one is off then everything is completely thrown off. This is the reason I tend to take pre-historic anthropology with a grain of salt. For that matter even post-historic anthropology tends to often be full of questionable science. For instance one big piece of news was the discovery that a piece of Viking burial cloth, in Sweden, contained Arabic script and references to Allah. The problem is that it was later discovered that the script it was allegedly written in had not yet been invented at the time of the corpse's burial. That such a 'discovery' was not the first thing that was checked before racing to publish seems to be an unfortunately common occurrence in these sort of sciences. It goes without saying that you should try to disprove your hypothesis, not prove it. Only then when you've completely failed to refute your hypothesis should you begin to considering the possibility of its correctness, given available information.
Downclocking, by itself, tends to increase component lifetime. It makes sense for a professional machine that's not supposed to break after a couple years.

Of course, if the component still overheats, that completely beats the purpose of the downclocking.

But, without looking at what they offer in detail, I'd be pretty sure they're quite a bit different from normal travel insurance and are priced accordingly. This is about potentially saving your life when things go sideways in some remote corner of the globe.

Not hopefully paying you out some money because your tour operator went belly-up or you need to take an emergency flight home because of an injury or other problem (which is what most travel insurance emphasizes).

Windows has a better shell.

Practical example from a few days ago: here's feross' script to find compromised eslint-scope for Linux/Mac.

find . -type d -name "eslint-scope" -print0 | xargs -n 1 -0 -I % sh -c "(cat %/package.json | npx json version) && echo '(at %)'"

Here's an equivalent for Powershell:

$results = @{}
ls -recurse -filter "eslint-scope" | foreach {
$file = "${_}\package.json"
$version = cat $file | convertfrom-json | select -ExpandProperty version
$results.Add($file,$version)
}
echo $results | format-list

Rather than scrape for regexs, you're using objects.Rather than using xargs to iterate, you're actually iterating. JSON is built in, you use 'select' to pick the property you want. Formatting is seperate from presentation.

You can use (and probably should) use Python on nix for similar cleanliness, but Powershell does all this and still feels like a shell. It supports emacs bindings (you use emacs binding on bash by default, regardless of which editor you use), readline, you have a profile, and all the good things you expect from *nix (Windows /terminals/ generally suck, but using the inbuilt terminal with groupy it's decent). It's just way nicer, at the expense of a little learning.

wasn’t a very good strategy for Germany

In what sense?

It did end the war in the East, and delayed the war for dominance in the East (which was seen as inevitable -- as it by the US left today, pace the mainstream press' demonisation of the Trump/Putin connection) by two decades. Even today Germany is wealthier than Russia despite having no natural resources.

The biggest victims of the Bolsheviks were the Russian people (and inhabitants of neighbouring states).
