>I doubt very seriously that anyone even wanted something like the iMac Pro before it was released.

Not Xeon or EEC Memory, but 150W+ CPU + 150W+ GPU combination on an iMac. iMac could have been powerful, but it never was. Not because we have invested new cooling solution to cool the CPU and GPU, because the iMac were never positioned as such. Steve Jobs wanted the Desktop to be completely silent. And it is still shipping with a HDD as default.

>I doubt very seriously that one studio abandoning a product line that makes less than 10% of thier revenue made Apple panic.

Not a product line, but the whole Mac Ecosystem. Try Disney telling you they are throwing Mac Pro away from their production system. And it is not even 10%, likely 1% of their revenue.

>If you think Jobs was tied to the Mac on his return, you weren’t paying attention.

And the quote was from... 1996? How about a more recent quote.

"Truck" PCs weren't going to go away, Jobs predicted, but "car" tablets would find a place among a larger number of users.

"This transformation is going to make some people uneasy," Jobs said. "People from the PC world, like you and me. It's going to make us uneasy."

If you think Jobs wasn't tied to the Mac on his return, you weren’t paying attention.
Are AOSP ROMs from Sony as good as Pixel ones in terms of updates?

If so, it might be a very worthwhile alternative.
Hi HN!

This is my weekend project. I just finished traveling, and now I want to stay in the mindset. To do so (and as an excuse to learn about Chrome extensions) I created a Chrome extension to show a random airbnb listing on each new tab.

The files for data aggregation and the extension itself are open source on GH (https://github.com/zchr/airbnb). It was an excellent weekend project, and I look forward to keeping it updated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Functions having their own environment is actually pretty useful once you get your head around them.
That's interesting. I guess it would happen eventually.

I knew that a while back drum scanners were the ultimate for scanning large documents/artworks. I wonder if now they're doing image stitching with cameras?
The ultimate solution is to separate code display from code persistence.

A simple, if inelegant, way to achieve this: Use a standardised format on save. On read, pretty-print based on user-defined settings.
Good point. A lot of comments here about relative settlement times. But it occurs to me that most of these are in the context of transfers/settlements within a jurisdiction. What is the story on moving money between countries? At the moment I'm have to pay significant premiums to accomplish this (and it is not usually instant). Am I missing something?
The site doesnt go any higher than 385 and it says you need that for anywhere from 100,000 people to 20 billion people, which may be true if the sampling was completely random and there were multiple studies done.

How did he determine the sampling was random?

How can you confirm the self reported data was correct?

Also this was ONE SINGLE unreproduced study...no scientist in the world would write a 2 page paper based on one study much less 200 pages.

That worthless book destroys NO notions. That book is propaganda selling a false narrative based on extremely shoddy science and it would do you well to throw it directly into the garbage.
It's pain to learn one must take care to avoid confusing math with everything else. Unexpectedly, sure. Safe languages...sentimentality. Thought processes... everything it can be compared against. Here be dragons, tedious caution required.
At least with small arms, often the "missing" model numbers are either 1)one-off, special purpose purchases for a single service, or 2)something uninteresting. For example, at least 1 issued "pistol" prior to the M9 was a flare gun. The M3 Carbine, ostensibly the "predecessor" to today's M4, was a WW2/Korea night-sight-equipped M1 Carbine.

With aircraft, I assume the trend is similar, with the "missing" numbers being trials aircraft or testing designs.
What makes you think that? Stereotyping perhaps?

In the case of Jews, they can hardly be called unambitious given the number of writers and scientists they produced.

In the case of Asians, ambitious engineering, scientific and business persons do not seem to be short supply.
Careful, that's a breath away from decriminalizing pedophilia. The daughter is still a child, the father a sex offender who in any other circumstance would be crucified. The internet doesn't react well to such ideas.

Im all for allowing doctors some discretion in testing, but non-prosecution cannot be public policy.
For me, trying to force focus never really works. My standard is to take a long walk if I find my mind wandering a lot.

>We’ve had plenty of PR about recycling in the US and it’s affected consumers plenty and corporations not—at—all

That pile of used tires, cardboard, scrap metal, pretty much anything that's even slightly cheaper to recycle (into the same product like in the case of paper or something else in the case of vulcanized rubbers) than to make from scratch gets recycled wherever possible because there's a profit to be skimmed off of doing so.

Taxing people or corperations into doing what you want is a messy solution with all sorts of negative externalities (e.g. cost of compliance prevents competition and innovation). If all you care about is that the negative externalities not occasionally litter the side of the highway then I guess it's a win but I'd rather pay someone to clean up trash than drive extra business for people who make their living dealing with taxes.

I would guess that anti-stealth technology has also developed since it first flew. I wonder if the recovery of the wreckage of the F117 shot down over Bosnia can be assumed to have revealed ways to counter its technology?
Neither propositional logic nor first-order logic (FOL) allow formulae of infinite length.

While there are logics with formulae of infinite length (see [1, 2] for an overview), I would not consider them logics on par with propositional or FOL. Why? Because as a finite human you cannot actually write down infinite formulae! Instead, you use some finite abbreviation mechanism (typically some variant of FOL, extended with set theoretic axioms like ZFC) so you can denote (in a finite way) those infinite formulae.
I'd suggest to see infinite formulae as a semantics gadget that is sometimes useful in model-theoretic investigations.

It's not surprising that we encounter questions independent from ZFC (or whatever your preferred foundation of mathematics) when we look at infinite games. It's but an instance of our inability to define infinite sets in an impredicative way (i.e. the usual inductive definition of the natural numbers as the least set closed under successor).

Sure, misthos is designed with collaboration in mind. Its for project teams, investment partnerships and other ad hoc ventures that want collective ownership and transparency of their cash flow.

Examples of ppl using it today (from our beta testers) are:

- crypto focused youtube channel receiving donations and dividing it transparently to the individual content contributors of the channel.

- A startup building out a payment processor that has their cut of the bitcoin cashflow stream into misthos for further dividing up amongst the team members.

- A team offering consulting around onbording institutions and individuals onto crypto (that get payed in BTC for their services).

It is also really useful for informal groups such as Bitcoin Meetups as there is literally no setup cost, where setting up a shared bank account to manage expensive would include prohibitive overhead.

The actual rate of non-paternity in western societies is closer to 3%. The 10-20% figures that appear regularly on the internet are largely derived from rates of non-paternity in cases were paternity was questioned (i.e. pre-existing suspicions of infidelity). The higher ranges quoted (30% is the highest I have seen) are generally from small study populations with extended periods of partner absence, like central American itinerant laborers or African truck drivers.

It could have been a white box PC. My stepfather’s business computers (in the mid 90s) were from some local mom and pop place that built custom PCs and also supported it if things went wrong. I think they tended to over-engineer things as all the PCs were full size (beige of course) AT towers with noisy fans.

If you're not really sure you need this stuff then you don't need it. Plain and simple.

If you don't have the disposable cash to pay for it outright then you can't afford it anyway.

With that all said you can try out the three examples you cite at your local Best Buy, Microsoft Store, Maker Space, Home Depot, etc etc.

If the argument is that you're in rural Idaho without access to this stuff then the business model is broken.

Because RISC-V is an open ISA. POWER would have been made in India in terms of 'you patents are not valid here' and not have been usable outside of India.

RISC-V also is becoming the standard for research and the open-hardware community.

Asian students make up a much greater percentage of Harvard College students than the percentage of Asians in the U.S. population, that doesn't sound like a racist outcome.

What's most frustrating is this case is a stalking horse for white racists who want to eliminate race as a consideration to keep higher education predominantly white and therefore economically advantaged.
Just note with xiaomi phones not all phones are the same in terms of rooting. Some phones need 'pairing with xiaomi account' some of them don't. It depends on preinstalled flavor of Android. For example my M1A1 does not require that becuase it is "Android One" phone - making the stock quite good. The problem with rooting this phone specifically is that Android One phones use some sort of A/B partition system for seamless updating. https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab/ There are not so many guides on this and it was a littlebit of hustle. But i guess more and more phones will be like this so it will get easier.

Of course if you don't mind just buy OnePlus where everything it is very easy (i had OnePlus one before).
Human thinking models itself. Logic is just one way of avoiding the insanity of how crazy the experience of life can actually be. Relevance logic though, clever.
That may be one. But I think another strong motivation is threat of sanctions from US. I don't know the specifics, but even most recently as today, there were news about US wanting India to stop buying oil from Iran or face sanctions (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/no-...).

There is a movie in Netflix called "Paramanu" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parmanu:_The_Story_of_Pokhran) that talks about how India was forced by US back then when it wanted to test nuclear bombs. There are also countless other stories including how US tried to stop India from buying cryogenics engine (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/India-overcame-US-...) and some GPS related incident in the recent Kargil war with Pakistan (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/science/How-Kargil-...).

I've known for a long time that my willpower is the issue, because I've never been a fan of turning on notifications. I tend to keep it to only chat apps having notification rights, which would still translate to text notifications on a dumbphone. Pretty much any other time wasting I do on my phone is because I pull it out without prompting.
You are really condescending. You just want me to accept your claim whole without you needing to supply actual proof. You also claim to be able to answer all of the questions and I assume provide adequate proof, but just leave it at that.

And now you're declaring the conversation over and calling me close-minded.

Sure, but that's your experience as an individual developer on a small component of the system. If we're looking at the health of the system _as a whole_ (of which you, and the work you're doing to solve these issues, are a part), it's completely resilient to this change.

Actually the current build farm with 3 x HiFive Unleashed boards and a bunch of VMs is fine (perhaps less so if we had to build everything twice). There are two bottlenecks now: lack of SATA disks on two of the boards, instead we're using NBD; and the Koji build software itself which introduces a lot of overhead by creating from scratch fresh buildroots for every build.
A lottery appears to be a reasonable solution but it has a problem. The admissions system has two objectives - selecting students according to criteria that Harvard deems important and second, giving the public perception of selecting quality students. If it was publicly known that getting was a lottery, then the perception of quality takes a hit.
> Harvard insists this was unbiased, but it's pretty incredible that Asians score so low on these measures and African-Americans so highly.

Considering asians are considered "model minorities" and the best "assimilated" minority group in the US, it does seem odd. Also considering harvard alumni interviewers generally rated asian personalities just as high as everyone else's, I wonder why there is such a divergence from american culture at large/alumni and admissions' officers?

I wonder if there are transcripts or video recordings of interviews and a methodology these admissions officers used.

It would be great if harvard released all data ( minus identifying info ) and we could look through the dataset.

This wasn't true in the UK when I was at school 20 years ago.

Admittedly, the 'general' history we did in the first 3 years of secondary school (11-14) we covered mostly western history, but it covered Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, etc. We did some English history (Boudicca, Alfred, is all I can remember now).

In the optional GCSE History I did (14-16) we did little English history as far as I remember and covered inter-war Germany + rise of Hitler, Vietnam war, Chinese Communist Revolution, formation of Israel, Cuban Missile Crisis and probably some more I've now forgotten.

EDIT: I actually now remember we did cover Cromwell + English Civil war as well as William the Orange and the Suez crisis, probably at least one of those in GCSE. Slightly modified to reflect this.

A lot of those do directly impact the UK, although when we covered China, it was still fairly weak compared to its present position in the world.

This is not true at all. Often times people want to try out a new tool or process and are unsure of how it will actually perform. And it will take awhile -- not a couple of hours.
Of course. No process is perfect and there are more exceptional people than there are spaces for them at Harvard or at all the Ivies.
Can you give an example of a serious software package software that uses OpenGL and targets multiple platforms? I don't doubt you that such exist, I just don't know what to search for.

A quick look at for example high-end CAD that you mentioned, Solidworks uses OpenGL, but has as far as I can seen always been Windows only. Its also only lists FirePro and Quadro as recommended graphics cards which support my impression that only workstation-class GPUs have stable OpenGL support on Windows.

Autocad uses DirectX 11 on Windows, OpenGL for the Mac version, so they already use platform specific APIs.

Software with several decades old code bases, that started out with OpenGL, and perhaps even still uses some of it intermediate mode APIs or display lists, obviously have to continue to rely on it.
But if you design a new piece of software today, wouldn't you want it to be able to use the graphics hardware to its full potential and use Vulcan/Metal/DirectX 12?

I worked on the periphery of a mainframe, COBOL modernization project. Basically an attempted rewrite. Utter failure.

My hunch at the time was the better technical strategy would have been to run all that stuff within an emulator (to get off the nearly dead mainframe) and to focus on process improvements (eg source control, repeatable builds, schema management). But otherwise leave the legacy code in place.

This statement is highly uncharitable to your interlocutor above and frankly ignorant of the history of sexual assault prosecutions in the US. There has been a longstanding and documented strategy of defense attorneys trying to paint the alleged victim unsympathetically to try to elicit a just world theory-based response: "she was engaged in dangerous behaviour - that couldn't happen to someone like me".

It is important to distinguish the high-profile Title 9/social media kangaroo courts with the workings of the actual US justice system.
