OK, so what then? Lets try some MBA-approved brainstorming - nothing is wrong here, ideas are what is important!

- A carefully calculated series of beatings?

- The 'naughty step' for at least five minutes?

- Some sort of heavy-duty drug regimen involving intravenous lithium and/or ketamine?

- Maybe just pay someone to follow them around and prod them with a meter-stick whenever they seem to be getting a bit too excited? They could also hold up a warning sign, or maybe a color coded flag (as decided by either local church committee, or an act of parliament, depending on regional preferences) to warn people nearby (when not engaged employing the meter-sick, of course.)[0]

0. This last one is actually really good, as not only does it fix the sociopaths, it gets us closer to full employment, what with the flag people and all the committees, which will need planning meetings with secretaries and facilitators and note-takers and adminstrators, probably some sort of report will need to be generated after a while to see if the committees are working properly, or if we need more. And then there's the craftsmen who make the meter-sticks and flags as well. Probably the flag/meter-stick people will want a uniform, which adds a whole new layer of possibilities.

In fact, I can't see why everyone doesn't just get up NOW and grab a long stick and go out and prod some fucking sociopaths just to show them who's boss. I think that was the idea, anyway.
Additionally I just want to point out this is test done on absolutely default Ubuntu 18.04 with no VM optimizations whatsoever. It's totally possible to significantly improve VMs performance:

* By installing / compiling different kernel: low latency preemption option, 1000 HZ timer frequency, etc.

* Use HugePages to decrease memory fragmentation.

* Play around QEMU own options since right CPU options and host / guest balance with CPU pinning are helpful.

I used to improve my CPU-bound games performance on Windows VM a lot by doing some some fine tuning and I suppose macOS not much different.
Theoretically you could run Linux headless on a Dell Latitude laptop, configure it to use the Dock's serial output for the main console, and then have it automatically boot the OS X VM with GPU pass through to the main screen. When you close the lid, Linux goes to sleep instead of OS X. You could disconnect it from the dock and just carry it around with you like a normal OS X machine. Open it up and OS X is there waiting for you. Connect it back to the dock and debug with another computer over serial and/or SSH whenever you need to troubleshoot.
Your brain starts to die without any oxygen, but not breathing is not the same as not giving your brain any O2.

Your blood cells buffer amount of O2 for use and CO2 ready for removal, which is how an untrained person is able to hold their breath and not die. When you stop breathing, consumption of O2 continues until CO2 builds up to a threshold point, triggering a desperate need to breathe (humans cannot actually detect O2 levels). If you try and hold your breath for too long, either the buildup of CO2 will cause the need to breathe, or lack of O2 will cause blackout and the autonomous nervous system to take over and resume normal breathing. While I am not a doctor, I don't see how it's possible to deprive your brain of enough O2 to damage it and not lose consciousness.

It's possible to train long breath holding in two ways: increasing O2 stores and increasing efficiency.

Hyperventilating can result in you purposefully purging extra CO2 and over oxygenating your blood. This will let you hold your breath for a very long time, I can comfortably go from a 30s hold to a 2m hold by pre-hyperventilating (see: Wim Hof Method). It also adds the risk of letting O2 levels drop before CO2 rises, causing blackout, which is basically one of the things that kills free divers. DO NOT DO THIS IN OR NEAR WATER, BLACKING OUT IN ANY AMOUNT OF WATER KILLS.

The other thing is that our systems that consume O2 can be made much much more efficient. Training probably helps, but there are some autonomous systems capable of reducing O2 consumption that all of us carry around. The mammalian diving reflex appears to automatically cut O2 consumption and limit max heart rate once your face is under water, for example.

tl:dr:

You carry extra O2, and you can increase how much on purpose. The rate you use O2 isn't fixed, and if you run out of O2 you black out and start breathing normally (which kills you if your underwater).
I'm not sure about that one. Getting hit with a 45 cal. is going to do some serious damage compared to a 9mm.

That's very different from deliberately reducing profit for the sake of the shareholders though. Making capital investments for the sake of growing a company.. should be desired, no?

That’s a huge list of assumptions. I’m really surprised I’m getting downvotes for this. The bill she proposes simultaneously pisses off big business and the right wing. There is absolutely no way this legislation is getting through, it’s just pandering for the media.
Thank you for your suggestions, and appreciate your concerns.

- Sodium comes directly from the spices of the recipes. We don't add any for preservation or any other reasons, but we are currently working on low-sodium options for all of our meals!
- Our pricing is based on the cost it takes to produce each dish. We make everything from scratch just as the home recipe calls for and include fresh vegetables, seasoning, spices, etc. Our products are more comparable to restaurant meals ($7-10) than instant meals ($2-4), although we fall closer to the instant/microwaveable meals range ($4-6).
- Bulk options is a great idea and something we will definitely consider!
It's hard to legislate that distinction without getting messy, though. Hollywood, for example, is famous for the tax hoops they jump through to make it look like blockbusters lose money so they can avoid taxes.

It's definitely an area where we will have to tread carefully, and the concerns are for sure real. It was important to us to find an extremely ethically aligned leader.

However, I think it's easy to fall into a trap of assuming that everything about China (or any other culture) is worse just because it's different. My experience in China, and talking to Chinese people about their experiences in China, has been very different than what I assumed it would be.

Maybe they had some stuff in kernel mode in there. They still show you can start with a microkernel as the baseline then optimize from there retaining the architecture with its benefits in average case or most cases.
Hi! As a South Indian and knowing something about how commissary kitchens work and having studied the NRI market base, I would strongly advise you to pivot.

You cannot compete with packaged foods wrt price point. You must also have something unique with no competitors. This market is too crowded. You had me at rasam and buttermilk..it’s because of the radar kinship, I want you to succeed.

If you are interested, I can help with pivot ideas but I honestly don’t think you can hit it at this market base with that price tag.

Where do you think pac's get most their money? From corporations, billionaires, special interests..you think small donor's donate to most pacs?

I think special interests and corporations and billionaires should NOT be allowed to run ads AT all, unless they're personally running for office themselves.

Candidates should be able to take donations but only from real citizens, and only up to a certain limit.

Ideally, politicians would have a limit on how much they can spend on ads per quarter, to make it more 'fair' for everyone running, or hell give everyone equal budgets.

They can then take personal small donations from masses to build up their campaign coffers but cannot accept donations from lobbyists, corporations, etc... This would ensure more even-ness and that the person who wins will win because of their message/support instead of having more money to throw at it.

Thank you! We agree that quality is a lot more than in the ingredients and makes a huge difference.

That's a great suggestion about the community. We are experimenting with community building through our recipe curators, who send in their recipes to be turned into Buttermilk products. They receive 5% of the proceeds of their product sales, too. There are tons of great opportunities for this!

Authentication Login Question
Hi all:

I have tried to get an informed response from the Apple Dev website in vain.

I plan to purchase an iPad soon. The device specs of the unit indicate that its security features include Touch ID, but my fingers were illegally implanted with devices that show on Xray as part of illegal black operations involving thousands of unwitting Americans. Could I expect the Touch ID to work as intended or will the criminals decipher the fingerprint pattern and use it to falsely authenticate themselves into the device?

Thanks.
The problem may get worse, because executives have a strong financial incentive to prioritize shareholder returns

Well, yes. They own the company. And they're accountable to US law while doing so. What's the issue? Why this socialist push now? Workers should demand a share of the company, no doubt, and leave if not granted.
About the insulation thing, to be clear, it's just a heat pump and a certain R number in the floor and ceiling (correct me if I'm wrong). Pumps cost <5k to install and insulation isn't that much more if done while building. Double glazing isn't mandatory either.

What I'm trying to say is walking into a house here in winter still doesn't feel like a place in say, Northern Europe. I don't think it's that onerous.

Sources: Partners brother in law is a builder, parents just had heat pumps installed, our landlord just installed underfloor insulation and it's currently 12 degrees C in the house.

Exhaust from a Diesel has much brighter IR signature as it’s exhaust particles are black bodies that radiates and scatter IR very effectively. As turbine generate much cleaner exhaust of molecules that does not radiate much in IR on their own, it’s IR signature is lower despite higher temperature and more exhaust mass. This is a rare example when pollution is bad both for environment and military applications.

I do not have references. I learned it from a buddy whom I trust.
Great, now all you have to do is build a secure (preferably formally verified) monolithic kernel, exhaustively, thoroughly research all the vulnerabilities in popular micokernels, find evidence to support your thesis, write up the paper, and get it peer reviewed, and you're all set!
I haven't read the legislation, but I assume the intent is to target companies with an outsized influence on the economy. It makes sense to me that the institutions that have the most influence on society should be somewhat under society's control.

I thought you were just being random, but it turns out that Intel recently released the "Core i7-8086K processor" in honor of the 40th anniversary of the 8086 processor. Is that what you're referring to?
Their policies are fascinating:

Take this one in not allowing certain kinds of inappropriate content:

" Content that harasses, intimidates, or bullies an individual or group of individuals

Example: Content that singles out someone for abuse or harassment; content that suggests a tragic event did not happen, or that victims or their families are actors, or complicit in a cover-up of the event."

Do other networks have similar policies?

Thanks for bringing this up -- food safety is super important! We work out of a licensed commercial kitchen with all the proper permits and licenses in place. All of our cooks have gone through extensive food safety training and we have quarterly FDA inspections (we just passed our last one with flying colors)! Our ingredients come from local distributors who are extremely trusted and vetted to provide the best quality ingredients. We also double inspect all of the ingredients to make sure they are up to our standards.

You can find a full ingredient list on each product's page under 'Benefits'.

From a top Quora answer:

> Hollywood accounting isn't about avoiding taxes, studios still pay taxes on revenue whether a film makes a dollar or a billion dollars.

> What hollywood accounting does is shift costs around to avoid paying royalties and avoid contractual obligations of profit sharing.

I really don't think dealing with profit vs. revenue would be messy at all.
OK, that calls out X.org as the reason why the drivers aren't being supported rather than Linux. You can use fglrx with newer kernels just fine, it's just that user space went out of it's way to break support.

I really fail to see how that has anything to do with Linux's unstable kernel driver API.
Probably real estate speculation. They probably will start purchasing real estate, use the rents to defray the mortgage, and then flip the real estate.

It's much like nuts in California's Central Valley. You generally make about even on the nuts or even a loss. But you make all the profit when you harvest the wood of the stock you grafted onto (generally something like Walnut).
Because pilot wave theory assumes realism and determinism[1], and the authors of the first paper I listed conclude that their result "suggests that giving up the concept of locality is not sufficient to be consistent with quantum experiments, unless certain intuitive features of realism are abandoned."

Their conclusions could be wrong, of course, but if they are not, according to the authors' interpretation physicists should abandon realist theories like pilot-wave theory.

Thank you for pointing that out! We will review and update accordingly.
Gates> The second assumption this chart makes is that the total cost of production increases as supply increases.

I think that's a poorly phrased segway.

What he actually seems to be talking about later is that marginal cost flattens after some number of units, but then continues at a fairly constant level (representative of material inputs).

Contrasting this with software and intangible production, where the marginal cost continues to decrease for much larger scales, before hitting a much lower floor (compute + disk + amortized development + maintenance).

And how the proportion of our economy governed by that different marginal cost vs volume curve has continued to grow. And that this has underappreciated implications on how we design economic law.

As he notes, Capitalism Without Capital is an exploration of this idea that he read and enjoyed.

>You don't wish to go here as the statistics are against you.

What a hilariously arrogant statement.

>Gun owners are far more likely to have their gun fired in an accident or in a suicide than as genuine defense against a criminal.

Whether your gun is more likely to be used against you or in an accident is almost entirely in your power to control. Whether someone else decides to attempt to make a victim out of you is much less so. Wealthier people may be able to take precautions like avoiding areas frequented by certain groups of people and strategically choosing where to live but that is out of reach for many.

>As the victim, you are far more likely to survive an encounter if a gun isn't involved.

You're also vastly less able to prevent yourself and your loved ones from becoming victims in such an encounter if you aren't armed. That's why criminals in the US have a much greater tendency to avoid occupied homes than do criminals in other parts of the world. I would much rather take my family's safety into my own hands than leave it to the benevolence of violent thugs.
i kinda found the description of the "non-bullshit" statements as being "genuinely profound" to be also a little "bullshitty". Personally would have described them as pithy rather.
> Example: Content that singles out someone for abuse or harassment; content that suggests a tragic event did not happen, or that victims or their families are actors, or complicit in a cover-up of the event.

Cue the rending of garments--how dare Google claim that some events definitively did or didn't happen! 9/11 is a myth! Obama wasn't born in Hawaii! Sandy Hook was put on by crisis actors! Fake news!

>It's inevitable then that they will eventually ruin the existing service in search (usually futile) for some mythical product/market fit that was somehow projected be appropriately profitable for that 10x investment.

Or they will just be bought up and the result for the end user can be seen again and again.

Once a startup raises such insane amounts, they are forced to grow at the same speed. Which in alot of cases is just not feasible. That leaves only a buyout.

> The strongly libertarian/anti-regulation folks really don’t seem to have an answer for this. And it’s where there whole philosophy falls down because it so fundamentally ignores human behavior so it’ll never work.

Sure they do. "The invisible hand of the market"! Which requires customers to have perfect knowledge of the market to work. Somehow they can't fathom that someone who is willing to harm others in order to make a profit might also be willing to act dishonestly and commit fraud in order to make even more profit.

The other argument is, "Well, it would happen anyways with regulation!" Which is true, but, just like the "bad regulation" and "regulatory capture" arguments, effectvely boils down to saying, "I don't need to go to the doctor because I'm going to die anyways."
Thank you for your feedback!

I recall seeing a comment by Will Kahan that 80-bit bit was intended as an intermediate step: the intention was to eventually go to 128-bit.

Also this was still early days: up until this point, fast floating point was the domain of much more expensive machines. No one had any idea what would be useful in consumer level hardware.

I created an account just to chime in. This is an awesome idea. I've tried the subscription based models and hated how easy it was to lapse into another shipment that I didn't want.

> You use ALT text by adding the alt attribute with a value of the text equivalent of your image, like so:

> <img src=“https://example.com/image.png” alt=“developer in an office working feverishly to hit a deadline on a software project” />

Is this actually a good idea?

This sounds like a typical "hero" or "teaser" image, to capture the reader's attention or interest. I don't think the alt tag does that in a comparable way, for a screen reader for example. So I'd just leave it blank.

It's really frustrating: all articles on accessibility mention the alt attribute, and that you should use them. But few give guidelines on how to write a good alt attribute that is actually well thought out.

When I write a website that explains things, and uses images, I (nearly) never use only images, but usually images + text. If I put an alt description in the images, I basically duplicate the text, and I guess that will confuse screen reader users more than a blank alt text.

Am I totally off base here?
You'll have much better chances if you can just buy external GPU since there are laptops with working IOMMU and there are people who got external GPU working in VM. Then for macOS it's going to be just normal PCI(e) device.

Unfortunately (almost?) all mobile GPUs won't even initialize within VM. I'm not expert in hardware side of things, but I suppose laptop drivers expect specific topology since mobile GPU almost never have own connection to display and sometimes don't even have own ROM. Even if somebody will find a way to make passed mobile GPU work on Windows VM it's very unlikely same trick will just work for macOS.
I think it might work from cheaper big cities in the West Coast e.g. Portland to SF.
