I'm reminded of the day that I discovered SQL cross joins. Some decades ago, working in Access on WinXP. So I executed, and nothing much happened. So I went for lunch, and when I got back, the machine was frozen. So I went WTF?, and hard reset. And then did it again, a few times.

And the cool thing was that doing that, and running out of disk space, apparently didn't damage the system. Microsoft must have designed WinXP to tolerate that.

No, NVidia should be very worried. There is a huge uproar in the community with some of the practices NVidia has forced like you must use 3X expensive version of same GPUs in data center. Even consumer GPUs are in short supply. Most of the people are not using massive complex rendering pipelines that these GPUs have but they are paying in terms of price and wattage. There is a huge demand for consumer version of TPU like chips and the market is going to eat up any similarly performing alternatives. Lot of gain in NVidia's revenue comes from blockchain and deep learning segment. Much of these gain is at risk by chips like TPU or Groq. It is quite surprising that NVidia hasn't announced any competing product and I hope they don't get sleeping at the wheel while this big wave is about to hit the market.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine#Uses

"Enhancing performance: Nicotine is frequently used for its performance-enhancing effects on cognition, alertness, and focus.[38] A meta-analysis of 41 double-blind, placebo-controlled studies concluded that nicotine or smoking had significant positive effects on aspects of fine motor abilities, alerting and orienting attention, and episodic and working memory.[39] A 2015 review noted that stimulation of the α4β2 nicotinic receptor is responsible for certain improvements in attentional performance;[40] ..."

Not that this is how most people use it (esp. because those who do smoke are likely not allowed to do so inside an office building, meaning they couldn't be e.g. programming at their multi-monitor desk while doing it; seems the half-life of nicotine in the body is 1-2 hours, so perhaps it could be net-beneficial to go outside briefly); nor that it couldn't be done via skin patches or other delivery mechanisms.

I did the search, found lots of stuff readily available, shared my exact search phrase so it could be replicated and explained my reasoning for sharing the search phrase instead of a link. And now two people are busting my chops for actually being helpful.

I bet no one would have said a damn thing had I simply not bothered to reply and, in this case, not bothering to reply would have been the jerk thing to do because it would have been unhelpful to someone actually sincerely needing help and it would have been done on a bad faith assumption.

This would have been perfect situation for some destructive testing.

During night time block all traffic. Then drive radio controlled, overloaded trucks over the bridge every six months.

If the bridge fails, you just saved human lives. If it doesn't, the cost of that project is relatively small compared to pre-emptive repairs. The likelihood of regular load destroying the bridge in the meantime could be managed to be negligible.

It's already used with pressure vessels, because hydraulic testing of them is very safe. Now you would no longer need suicidal truck drivers to do it on bridges.

I don't think Facebook's problem is legitimate advertisers misusing personal information. Rather, it's the spammers, scammers, bots, and foreign spies that destroy trust in the system. If Facebook could get rid of those (not an easy problem), they could rebuild trust and keep legitimate big-money advertisers happy.
In the US, Verizon is one of the worst offenders. They should be ashamed, touting FIOS as a premium service while it's been close to a decade since they put up their pathetic "IPv6 is coming soon..." announcement[1].

The problem here is not that HE.net tunnels require a static IPv4 address, it's that your ISP won't connect you to the whole Internet.

The inherent variance in elections is extremely minimal. The odds in elections are more representative of confidence in your sampling than a product of randomness. What I mean here is that if you polled each and every person who would vote, the result of that would tell you who is going to win with a practically negligible level of variance. By contrast, even the best model for something like a sports game is going to be probabilistic.

Imagine a thought experiment. We're able to do something 100 times, each on a consecutive day, but without any knowledge of what happened on previous days affecting the future, and without any future information or events affecting original 'intent'. If you played a sports game 100 times you'd generally get a wide distribution of results. But if you ran the election 100 times, you're generally going to get the same result.

The point here is that Trump winning did not indicate a 'low probability' event. It indicated a dramatic failing in sampling. Why was this? The 'art' in sampling is not only obtaining a representative sample, but actually determining what a representative sample even is. And the radicalization of our society is making this more and more difficult. The media was running bits literally comparing Trump to Hitler, individuals have been assaulted, robbed, and denied service simply because somebody became aware they supported Trump, and even business leaders have been harassed to no end for doing things that could be seen as supportive of Trump. Like you mention even pollsters that didn't cheerlead a completely crushing Clinton victory "got shit" -- that's all just completely absurd! This creates a chilling effect where individuals are going to be less inclined to respond, and/or respond honestly, when queried about their views. Then pollsters are left to rely on incorrect information which hampers not only sampling but even in the determination of a representative sample.

And the point of all of this now is that presumably most pollsters have tried to change their ways. But this will be the first election where that will be put to the test. So unbiased aggregation is more informative than ever. 538's "adjustments" were based on past polls before we had such social extremism, and by relying on them alone for their first real test - well, that's a huge leap of faith.

Your explanation doesn't really explain much. These polls have generally been accurate in the past, but they were very wrong here. Was that because the "art" of finding a representative sample got worse, it was never good to begin with, or something in society changed making this much more difficult?

This, definitely.

To be clear, I used an HE.net tunnel after I was told of their policy. The tunnel works great with dynamic IPs if you also link up their endpoint to update your tunnel every time your IP changes.

> Three surprising numbers in this table are those of 94% adoption in T-Mobile USA, 93% in BSkyB and 92% in Reliance Jio. They are surprising in that prior to these deployments we had though that an ISP deployment of IPv6 was only a part of the story. It was up to the connected user network to also use IPv6-capable equipment within their edge network... Upgrading equipment in the home or office takes time.. . Why can these three networks achieve significantly higher levels of IPv6 adoption? I suspect that this is a reflection of the difference between Mobile ISPs and fixed infrastructure of mixed ISPs... It would not be surprising to learn that a similar approach was taken in Reliance Jio and BSkyB.

BSkyB is a fixed line broadband provider, but in the UK it's usual for the ISP to supply the router, and for customers to change providers for a better deal fairly often.

Both parts mean the customer has a fairly recent router, which can be replaced if required by the ISP, and they know the model and can often perform firmware updates.
The Meta-Retrospective
I've been using Edge on Windows for at least a year now and I'm quite happy. Now that it supports plugins, I haven't fired up another browser for months now.
Speaking from the perspective of working unions (Scandinavia) what makes unions work and be relevant are the protections they enjoy. The unions fought for these protections. Without being able to unionize you can't improve your position as a union either. You have to start somewhere.

So: first: employers can't choose (freely) who to lay off. It's first in last out, or if you want to sidestep that, you'll have to compensate the employee quite heavily.

Second: "proper" union strikes have a very protected status. An employer who would hire scabs would be quickly taken out of business. They'd switfly be blockaded by other unions in sympathy. So for example: a store hiring scabs to replace striking union store workers would quickly find that their trash isn't picked up, that the cleaners don't show up, that no electrician fixes their fridges, and so on (Also: these type of measures are also protected).

Without having these two protections (can't fire, can't hire scabs) unions are very weak compared to employers. I'd argue that with these protections, unions and employers have a pretty equal playing field.

Note also that these protections didn't come free: the employers' share of the deal was that there is no minimum wage and you can't have protected strikes during the agreement periods which are typically 1-3 years. So the strikes will occur at known intervals if negotiations for the next agreement stalls.

Tesla was a successful boutique car company for a number of years. I admired their products and mission, so I made a small investment in Tesla common stock. I made a significant profit when I sold it last year. I was also among the first to pre-order the Model 3.

I decided to use the term "pyramid scheme" to characterize what Tesla has become, and I agree that it is a strong claim. Just my armchair opinion.

Here in Austria, we had a rather problematic court ruling regarding this. Following to this and to common recommendations catch-all domains were mostly disabled, at least, you run them at your own risk.

What it was about: Say, there was a review or best-price-search site (here, "service.at"), using catch-all and mapping subdomain requests to product searches. So "acme.service.at" would be remapped to, say, "service.at/search?q=acme". Now Acme sued, claiming anything containing the name "acme" on the web ought to point to their site, including the subdomain "acme.search.at", since they were the owner of the name "Acme". To almost everybody's surprise the court decided that this was true, according to naming rights, and that a subdomain containing this name, even if just implemented virtually by a catch-all mechanism, was an infringement. This also implies that "acme.example.at", which is included in the set of "*.example.at", mapped to the very same as just "example.at" is a possible infringement. – Strange, but this is as it is. And, yes, it's particularly about search engines, like Google.

(I really don't remember the particulars, since this has been some years ago by now, but we may assume that the results returned by the service weren't exactly favorable and that the particular search enjoyed a higher Page rank than the site of this vendor, or at least a rank, which brought it up near the site of the vendor in search results.)
