Thunderbolt, and Intel's "management" of that interface spec, is an excellent contrasting example of IEEE interfaces vs closed systems. I actively worked on a project building around TB2 (and then 3) for over two years and eventually we gave up on the entire thing due to the obscurity of the protocol, the absence of details of the Intel implementations (the only game in town at the time), and a myriad other roadblocks. By contrast I have some historical familiarity with Sony's Firewire iterations and once it became IEEE-1394 (and variants) it exploded in both popularity and transparency.

If Intel treated the original USB in the same way they do ThunderBolt, we'd still be using ADB, serial, parallel, and PS/2 interfaces on all our machines.
One of the other responses here was from a (former?) chrome dev and they said the feature was implemented, had a lot of issues that could be eventually fixed but cost too much dev time to be worthwhile, and nobody used the feature anyways. While the dev said he didn't know why it got dropped, it was likely the lack of use and excess cost.
Absolutely, and many patents are stupidly broad or obvious. I’m glad the patent office has begun cracking down on “X, but on a computer” patents, because those were all terrible.

1) You seem to think you are disagreeing with me, but I never said everyone was the same. I said the point is to find a diet where you feel satisfied without consuming too many calories. Some people might love sugar too much and need to cut down on something else (eg fat) instead, or they simply need to exercise more via getting a different job, etc.

2) Pretty sure pasta and white rice will have a higher density of carbs than eg cabbage and apples. From a random site (feel free to find a better source) in grams of carbs per cup of food:

oatmeal = 29.3 g
cabbage = 5.2 g
apples = 17.3 g
rice = 44.5 g
pasta = 42.8 g

From what I understand, what she's trying to say is that she divides the players into two types, and for one type she never bluffs, and for the other, she bluffs all the time.

But she didn't discuss how she figures out if the player belongs to category one, or category two. There are two possible answers:

- She follows her intuition by observing the player and player's demeanor.

- She collects data on the players poker choices/tactics/strategies (in other words, she studies the player's game history), and using some kind of analysis, probably backed by a combination of her psychology and game theory expertise, she reaches the conclusion on the likelihood of the player belonging to category 1 or 2.

If it's the latter, then I have mad respect for her. If it's the former, my best guess is that she's just going through the phase of beginner's luck, and it won't last very long.

Reminds me a bit of the Bobby Dunbar story:

> In 1912 a four-year-old boy named Bobby Dunbar went missing in a swamp in Louisiana. Eight months later, he was found in the hands of a wandering handyman in Mississippi. In 2004, Bobby Dunbar's granddaughter discovered a secret beneath the legend of her grandfather's kidnapping, a secret whose revelation would divide her own family, bring redemption to another, and become the answer to a third family's century-old prayer.

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/352/the-ghost-of-bobby-dunb...

> In March 2008, Public Radio International's This American Life featured The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar, a radio documentary about the investigation of the case by Margaret Dunbar Cutright. She expressed her own opinion that the real Bobby Dunbar most likely fell into Swayze Lake during the fishing trip and was eaten by an alligator.

The answer is, it depends. PCIe is not a streaming interface, so the effective bandwidth depends on transaction type, latency, packet size, address depth, etc. etc. The only certainty is that it will not be anywhere close to 32gbps, that is line rate.

Not sure why there is an assumption that everybody likes 68F with miserable fog. Some people actually like 80-90F temperature. I do. 90+ is too hot sure, and I get that PHX is 100+ for 3 months. I like to be able to walk outside in a tshirt at night, instead of wearing a down jacket. I live in the Bay area and it's far from perfect weather. I can only live in the East Bay where there's actually summer temperature (80+F outside in the day time now and I love it). Living in SF would be pure misery to me. I would totally consider moving to PHX, but I first have to convince the wife. :)
While I share your sentiments with regards to the plight of individuals left behind, I can't go with you on bailouts. That's socializing the losses while privatizing the profits, and it leads to crony capitalism and dyspeptic behemoths like the chaebols.

The analogues in the USA are the too-big-to-fail financial institutions that almost wrecked us in 2007-2008, yet who remain as untouchable as the chaebols. Few of our congressional representatives actually believe in capitalism for the financial industry.

Extremely underrated answer, and city. Sacramento IMO has the perfect balance of a nice summer (I love 80-90F temperature; yes I know it gets to 100+ on many days too) with good sunshine and not miserable fog, a little bit cold winter but not have to shovel snow (2 hours to Tahoe for snow), close enough to the SF Bay if you ever need to go there (an hour drive), good engineering talent (UC Davis graduates) and even a few existing tech/engineering companies to poach talent from (Intel etc.). House market is just beginning to get crazy but still very affordable especially if you compare it to SF Bay.

It is interesting and close to some things I have been thinking about (vide http://p.migdal.pl/2017/09/30/dating-for-nerds-gender-differ...).

Did you try making some interactive version? I think this could be inspiring for a large audience.

Did you try using things like word2vec, to find word “analogies”? (They are often biased, like doctor - man + woman is nurse.) Comparing two “translations” could be interesting.
That's like saying "I am only interested in the one bits. They carry information, unlike the zero bits which signify nothing."

There is no fundamental difference between one bits and zero bits. This should be self-evident to any programmer. After all, you can apply a "not" function to any binary string to turn it into another string with all the bits reversed.

Light pixels and dark pixels each convey the same amount of information. Light themes vs. dark themes is not a question of which one lets photons carry more information, it's the same information either way.

The real difference is how our far-from-perfect human eyes perceive them.

The issue is that "calling out hypocrisy" is crap. Hypocrisy is not a logical fallacy.

When an addict tells you that you shouldn't use heroin because it will ruin your life, the fact that they used heroin and it ruined their life doesn't make them a liar, it make them experienced.

And the sole legitimate purpose in calling out hypocrisy is to get the other party to follow their own advice. But that means for Nazism and McCarthyism to be relevant you have to identify some specific present day instance of them that currently needs to be eliminated. At which point we would need to oppose that and what China is doing.
> It's kind of shocking that was big enough to be the premise of a film.

I don't think most people at the time were really aware of Coors smuggling being "big enough." I know I wasn't. It's just that it provided a premise for an illegal trucking run. Here's some background, from https://vinepair.com/wine-blog/smokey-and-the-bandit-and-coo... :

"Turns out the plot of Smokey and the Bandit is centered on one lovable tycoon’s deep-seated thirst for Coors. ... The back story of how Smokey got made is a bit more interesting: prolific Hollywood stuntman Hal Needham was working on the set of Gator and was given a gift of (illegal) Coors.

"You read that right. Coors, ubiquitous potion of good time brohood, was once illegal in certain states. The movie was made in the late ’70s, and at that time, Coors was actually a regional product. It was made in Colorado, but because it wasn’t pasteurized and contained no preservatives, shipping could get a little tricky. Coors didn’t get national distribution until 1986. Which is why, in the 1970s, Coors wasn’t actually licensed to sell east of the Mississippi, making it, briefly, a rare and sought-after product.

"Coors’ cachet aside, Needham wasn’t a big beer fan, but he did notice that the Coors would disappear out of his trailer in small increments. Finally he figured out the maid was stealing two bottles a day. Realizing how important this beer was, to some anyway, he thought “bootlegging Coors would make a good plotline for a movie.”

"So in between being thrown around and set on fire and stuff, Needham actually wrote the script for Smokey and the Bandit. He showed it to his roommate at the time, who thought the dialogue was “horrible” but the plot was good enough. We’ve all had opinionated roommates, but Needham’s roommate was actually Burt Reynolds, the number one box office star at the time, and the inspiration for many a misbegotten mustache. Reynolds helped Needham get the movie made, and the rest is Dixie car chase and Coors history."

So what's the solution? If a big company opens a factory in an area, then the hire a bunch of people at that factory, people obviously want to move closer to where work is. It's not like those people can then say "Hey we need another company to open a factory here just in case." Even if there are other jobs created in the town, the loss of hundreds (or thousands) of jobs is always going to be devastating anywhere outside of a big city.

It's easy to say "Oh well those people shouldn't have bet everything on that factory." but that's not realistic or providing any kind of solution.
It doesn't excuse them, but nobody is outraged that Google is doing business with Canada, Israel, Brazil, Hungary, Malaysia, India, Saudi Arabia, the United States, etc. Maybe we should be, though?

But what about their record? I don't know, what about ours? Should Google not do business in any country that mistreats it's people? Or just ones that CNN doesn't like? Or is it because it's China, it's obviously different?

>You can't visualize how freshly cut grass smells

Why can't I? Even to someone illiterate, this is an experience we've all had? And visually, seeing the blades of up close on a freshly cut lawn, with dew dripping down, might conjure up memories of summers past and the associated smells.

You're taking for granted that words are abstractions and aren't learned for most until they're 5 or 6. Meanwhile, visual recognition is something more innate and starts to appear in babies in as little as 2 or 3 months (smiling, recognizing parents, etc).

> A few years ago, I looked into whether the Deccan Traps eruptions might have been either triggered or enhanced by similar antipodal seismic wave energy from the Chicxulub impact. Based on Earth's continental positions about 65M years ago, it seemed possible, maybe plausible. There were some papers discussing the possibility, but I don't have the data at hand.

Could it be worked backwards, there a re a number of flood basalts, some as recently as 10mya, is there any evidence of impacts for any others? Or is there some reason the Deccan traps stand out compared to the others?

I'm all about fair use and I would want you to draw exactly those conclusions about me and about using my code.

I just added a MIT license. Not sure that was the right one, but to be clear, I want anyone to be able to fork it, run a business/do whatever with it, without me being able to sue them. At no time can I sue them.

The more forks the better. As long as they adhere to certain principles, like not detroying the current HTTP API's, they will all be able to talk to each other, which is how I would like this to scale.

By having many people running search services, load and storage will be distributed.

Why would they run a search service? Well, they might need one for their site and once it's up and loaded with your content, you can now start to query it for data that you don't host. Others host it. I host a "www" index. You might host a "my_data" index. So you can create queries that span those two indexes.

The "all-electric' revolution you've got in mind is likely much further away than you expect. There will be a market for internal combustion engines for many more decades before all-electric vehicles can replace the markets in areas that are more remote, or require long hauling vehicles etc.

AFAIR Intel alway is like that. Intel hardly open their documentations to the public because they only communicate with big PC/motherboard manufacturers, not individuals.

Intel did the same thing to hobbyist communities when Intel tried to enter consumer IoT market with Arduino101/Edison/Curie. They did open sourced the code (more than a year late since released the hardware though) but never provided good enough public documentations about the chips. Intel eventually gave up the market.
Have recently been trying out Micronaut [1] which is a similar idea. However Micronaut does not use Graal and manages a very similar memory footprint [2]. So I don't think you necessarily need Graal to achieve just that.

I have actually been surprisingly happy with my initial experience with Micronaut. It is clearly engineered as a next-generation framework where all the defaults are set to exactly what you want to build small microservices right from the start. I am using Groovy and it still starts up in ~ 1 second with minimal memory use.

In terms of costs your thresholds are the boiling points of nitrogen (77K, surprisingly cheap and easy to deal with, even for a hobbyist) and helium (33K, more expensive,scarce, requires more energy to condense). To get lower than that, you need your own cryogenic cascade as I doubt you can easily buy something as ridiculously dangerous as liquid hydrogen (boiling point of 4K, explosive in contact with oxygen).

At less than 2K I think that the only merits of this discovery are theoretical.

I don't think that anyone believes that superconductors below nitrogen temperature have any viability outside the lab.
> So what's the solution? [...] the loss of hundreds (or thousands) of jobs is always going to be devastating anywhere outside of a big city.

It seems like the seeds of the solution are contained in your own post: don't live anywhere but a big city. Or, if you do, realise that you are making a risky bet with your entire family at stake.
Well, she says:

1. There are people who view women like X, and when I suss that out, I play them like X'.
2. There are people who view women like Y, and when I suss that out, I play them like Y'.

That doesn't exclude the possibility she is fully aware that there are large numbers of people who don't have views about women that affect their poker play, and if they don't show view X or view Y, she just plays them normally.

So I'd say the quote suggests she divides players into AT LEAST two types, but my instinct suggests she has a lot more than two categories :-)

In the Radiolab episode they claimed the entire planet is covered in the baked layer. That you can dig anywhere on the planet and find it.
