> For example, the thermal conductivity of a high-grade thermal paste is 8.5 W/mK, and the heat conductivity of copper is 385 W/mK, or for aluminum 205 W/mK. You can see that the thermal compound is actually a poor heat conductor and that is exactly the reason why you only need a very thin layer of paste to fill the micro imperfections between the IHS and heatsink.

This has always been my rule of thumb whether it's metallic or non-metallic paste. I throw on a pair of vinyl gloves, squirt a dab on the heatsink (not the CPU), and spread an even layer with my finger. I go back and fill in low spots with a smaller dab, trying for an even surface. This way, it's thin enough that it doesn't squirt out the sides when it's installed, but it's a uniform spread that covers any gaps between the heatsink and the CPU surface. Also, by putting it on the heatsink instead of the CPU, I don't risk accidentally getting paste on the non-contact parts of the CPU.

I've also used the semi-solid thermal pads similar to what comes from the factory on most OEM heatsinks, but they are far less efficient than paste.
Depends on the model. The MacBook Escape (non-touchbar Pro) doesn't run fans at all at low temperatures. I actually thought it was broken when I first got it, but it's intentional behaviour.
You can also use a food dehydrator provided you don't put the temperature too high. There's stores available who sell growkits. In The Netherlands, growkits, spores, and truffles are still legal (lol @ illegal spores, btw).

>Google doesn't prevent people creating competing forks of Android, that's the entire point of Android's design.

Did you read the main points of the press release ? If you (say an OEM like LG) license google play, you cannot create a competing OS based on AOSP. It has nothing to do with OEMs customizing AOSP for the devices they sell. It has everything to do with, say, an OEM selling a different phone that can run Amazon's version of Android with Amazon's services. I think that's one of the reason's why Amazon's phone never caught on. Nobody other than Amazon would be able to make or sell one because everyone had licences from Google.

From the press release:

"Google 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")."
Android is only open in theory, closed in practice.

> A perfectionist is someone with more exigence than talent.

My dictionary defines 'exigence' (which I had not encountered before) as "an urgent need or demand", and I find that hard to parse. Is either of the parses "… who is more demanding than talented" or (like "grasp exceeds reach") "… whose demands exceed his or her talent" correct? If not, would you mind clarifying?
It is difficult to obtain, and usually somebody offers it to you when you are not expecting it.
For me this is a simple philosophical question.

An adult should be allowed to do whatever s/he likes as long as it is not harming others. If harm to others is done - even under the influence - then punishment is due. But as long as somebody just does something in private - it must be okay.

I have plenty of experience with psychedlics - be it LSD, Psilocibin, DMT or 4-ACO-DMT. I know from own experience that a bad trip can be very unsettling. But as an adult it is first of all my right to take that risk and second of all it is a maturing experience.

The state should not be allowed to prohibit anything when done in private. The concepts behind drug prohibition are pretty much the same as behind prohibition of homosexual practices. People also say this should not be allowed because it is bad and young children will be molested etc pp.

We did ethnographic research on smartphone usage in China back when I used to work for Intel, back in 2007. Even then, smartphone usage had penetrated the least educated segments. Blue-collar workers living six to a room were heavy users of smartphones, some were heavy gamers.
The percentage of their income they spent on technology and entertainment was more than in the West. The growth rate was also amazing.
Since the first number is zero, i assume that the additional number is to express something more major than a major-update.

> Never seen cocaine though..

It tends to get snorted ;)

The problem with buying cocaine on the streets is that the quality is terrible (note: not anecdotal; I've never used cocaine AFAIK). The Dutch TV series Spuiten & Slikken (about sex & drugs, aimed at youth) broadcasted an item on that. The cocaine was ground up together with crap like washing powder, glass, and what have you.
profit is after tax. You don't have to pay tax on a fine, so the actual deduction on profit will be lower.
Let’s break it down:

BOB pays ALICE for a connection at fixed uplink/downlink parameters to the public collective of interconnected autonomous networks commonly referred to as INTERNET.

BOB uses the service as advertised to connect to CAROL’s autonomous network.

ALICE fails to adequately peer with CAROL’s autonomous network and calls it a feature.

BOB can’t switch ISPs because ALICE has monopoly on the service where he lives.

ALICE tries to muddy the waters with nonsensical milk lorry analogies that have nothing to do with fiber optic cables to maintain its monopoly and further leverage it to run protection racket on CAROL.

Sounds about right?

When BOB is paying ALICE for the service, he is implicitly paying for whatever “highway” connects his house and CAROL’s milk depots. Everything between the two points is ALICE’s responsibility. If ALICE doesn’t like that BOB mostly orders his milk from CAROL’s then she shouldn’t offer the service as supporting fixed amount of lorries per hour.
> > Racist and horrifically anti Semitic

> Just like basically everyone else at the time.

Does this really matter? I mean, one probably should understand racism and anti-Semitism in the context of their times, but that doesn't excuse them; a racist and anti-Semite is a horrible leader even if surrounded by people with those same horrible qualities.

EDIT: Jeez, I hope the downvotes are because people find this off-topic or something, rather than because they disagree with the sentiment.

I don't know about that - it definitely commoditizes sex a bit too much for me. Why even bother with the difficulty of relationships and love when you can get your carnal needs met so easily?

According to the article they tried to work with google on this for 2 years, and it’s still not a final decision - google can appeal.

Although, they should have put a fine of $12b (all of googles yearly earnings), effective immediate, and double it every year until non competitive practices ended.
AOSP does not include proprietary apps like the Play Store, etc.

In order for device manufacturers to get the Play Store on their phone, they have to give in to Google's demands to add the Google search box on the home screen of the phones.

Apart from this, Qualcomm doesn't release open source drivers for GPUs etc, making it even harder to use pure AOSP on flagship devices.
That wasn't my point. I'm not talking about assigning blame on individuals in a company but to at least use the same principles when punishing companies as we do with individuals.

A private individual is expected to return all illegal gains, pay additional fines, and possibly do prison.

But a company might be expected to pay fines that are actually a fraction of the profits made abusing the law. This means paying the fine is more lucrative business than ceasing the abusive behavior.

As such the system only gives the appearance that it's working when in reality it's just not bringing the expected benefits. If paying the fine and keep skirting the law is cheaper than fully complying than that's what companies will do.

Everyone remembers the October revolution, but few remember the November revolution: Germany collapsed from the Kiel mutiny onwards, and turned from a monarchy into a socialist anti-war state in 1918.

There was a lot of it about. Churchill sent tanks into Glasgow in 1919; during this period Ireland also fought for its independence (and subsequent civil war).

The old authoritarianism was doomed but it absolutely wasn't going to go without bloodshed. Some of it still lies latent to the present day like a dormant virus.

Bufferbloat.net talks about this.

(Fast.com gives more mild numbers for loaded latency than I observed manually.)

I'm not sure about the legal status of san pedro and peyote cactus in the USA but it doesn't seem like the original native Americans should be oppressed further [1]. So specifically about the USA, these should be legal for religious reasons.

There was a court case in The Netherlands concerning the legal status of these cactus by a religious group who used these during rituals. They won; they were allowed to use these for religious reasons. Ever since, smartshops sell these cactus. I owned a san pedro and peyote cactus myself. The peyote didn't last long, but the san pedro become huge. Eventually it was easily 2,5 meters tall. Unfortunately, it did have "spint" (red spider mite?). I never used them for drugs-related reasons.

> The longer answer is that, although Amazon does provide many tools, as I'm sure anyone who has attempted to use them for cost analysis and/or forecasting has found, they are, at best, difficult (i.e. require a remarkable amount of human labor to extract the desired information, if that's even possible). At worst, one discovers that it's impossible to find out what one truly wants from the tool, even after exerting the effort, although it might be a close approximation. Amazon has little incentive to spend money improving a tool that would help their customers send them less revenue.

I completely agree.

Like I've mentioned upthread, I've known a number of people who have clearly suffered from having tried LSD. Some of them will admit it was the worst decision they've ever made. Others will deny it, strongly encourage you to try it, and if you press them for how it might help you exactly they cannot explain, but there is a glimmer of anxiety and recognition that it changed them deeply in ways they are not comfortable with. And they want you to join them.

Do tell how one could switch out the map from Google Maps to anything else (Bing, OpenStreetMap, whatever).

Or how I could get rid of Google+ without needing to wipe my device or use a zero-day.

Or perhaps how I could get apk files from their repository without agreeing to the Google TOS and privacy policy, and without using some hacky system like Yalp store that breaks every couple of weeks for a little while.

This is definitely not easy to swap out. I bet that even from the top 10% of tech-savvy people on hacker news, there's 9%. that cannot figure out how to remove google completely within a normal working day of 8 hours.

Apple defenders will dismiss market share when comparing Android and iOS and claim that share of profits is all that counts. But they're happy to use market share to justify sanctions against Google. You can't have it both ways folks.

The fact is that Apple controls enough of the users that everybody wants that they have at least as much influence as Google does in mobile. That they've chosen to protect their fat profit margins and accumulate the largest pile of corporate cash in history while ignoring customers that can't afford premium devices should not insulate them from similar scrutiny.

If the EU wants to preserve any credibility on these issues they should take a hard look at Apple's refusal to allow other browser engines on iOS.

I couldn't disagree more. To wheel out a tired old phrase, design isn't how something looks, it's how it works.

The visual aesthetics of Stripe's output demonstrates great taste. But it's the way that taste complements the functionality, and how they are uncompromising about functionality and usability. I've worked on too many UI's where a detail in the design has compromised the usability, performance, or functionality of a UI all for the sake of aesthetics. I swear I might kill the next UXer that tries to argue that "responsive is out of scope" just because they can't be arsed to figure it out or change their designs to work responsively.

A lot of products and services look like Stripe now, or at least try to, but very few work as well as Stripe's output.
