I am doing experimental work where I really need to have double precision i.e. FP64. The Titan V offers the same stellar FP64 performance as the server oriented Tesla V100.
Do you have an adblocker running? I did the same search, I got one result from Panasonic. The rest were nonsense brands I've never heard of: omnigates, mpow, gloue, arrela, otium, actionpie, byz, etc..
The ideal way to brag is have others do it for you.
That’s true and as long as current is coursing through those poorly conducting components there will be resistive losses of some kind. The resistivity of silicon is way worse than copper. Its just that ramp on the way from nothing to everything the resistance is a lot worse. But even at zero for the gate there is going to be some leakage I think.
Putting all aside, I don't know who came up with but what a terrible name for a dessert; and why do you change its original name in the first place?
Is there a publicly maintained "repairability index" for laptops? iFixit used to have scores for smartphones, but laptops would now benefit from similar ranking.

Lenovo T480S still has some user-replaceable parts (RAM, SSD) and is only a little heavier than X1 Carbon.
maybe because everybody tried to get on the cell phones at the same time....like when after a football game, everyone goes to the bathroom at the same time....
I read through the list as well, and I don’t buy any of those brands normally pretty much.

However, I would see more the issue being if I wanted to boycott nestle remembering all those brands are nestle when I’m at the supermarket shopping etc.
this is also a thing in europe, with similar consequences.
Interview: Searx, the web search engine that respects your privacy
On a polyphonic instrument like the harmonium, "playing by ear" really refers to three separate but related skills.

One is the ability to hear and predict, Markov-chain style, the chord progressions in a song. This actually isn't very difficult, once you realize that 1) all songs make use of exactly the same handful of existing chord-to-chord transitions, just shifted depending on the root chord (key) the sheet music is written in, 2) some chord transitions are vastly more common than others, and 3) each transition has a distinct feel, which your brain soon learns to appreciate with an intuition similar to that you have for language.

Thus, it helps to re-write each piece of sheet music into C before you play it ("normalization", if you will), so you can see and hear the essence of e.g. C→G across the context of different pieces. Later, go around the circle of fifths, so you can see the patterns reappear in keys other than C. Music theory textbooks use tables of Roman numerals for this, but those only make sense to people who already have the intuition anyway. But there are good videos on this, like https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8qv5hZppyGQbe9laVKwg3w.

Playing chords by ear is a very satisfying feeling, because it gives you the illusion that you're 80% there with 20% of the effort. It also translates easily to other instruments.

Second is the ability to hear and play back melodies. This comes with practice. Trial and error, hit and miss ... until your miss rate goes down, which it will, slowly, over time, asymptotically approaching zero. As you practice your intuition for chords, however, you will soon know what certain intervals (especially 3, 4, 5) sound like, and that will often help you find the right next note. When you hit a plateau, read up on different types of scales – knowing "this part of the melody is mixolydian" will prune the search tree for you.

Being able to pick out the right note without thinking will turn the instrument into an extension of yourself, just as you sing or whistle without thinking. However, you may well be a proficient amateur harmonium player long before you can reproduce any complex melody completely error-free, so I don't know that it's something worth obsessing about.

Third is the ability to play more than just simple triads and monophonic melodies, but to add patterns and rhythms and chord inversions and "crunchy" notes (sus, dim, maj, 6, 9, 13, etc.) and improvisations on the melody. Those aren't self-contained skills, but rather a repertoire of tricks that you acquire as you play and analyze other people's music, and there are lots of textbooks and videos on them. Those don't do that much for your perceived level of "fluency", but they do make you feel "eloquent" and they're great for your ego.
...maybe because everyone tried to get on the cell networks at the same time...like after a football game, when everyone goes to the toilet at the same time and it drops the water pressure in the city....
They say closer to the poles, wind power cools. So, put wind power systems at higher latitudes, and solar at lower latitudes -- where it is more effective. Sorted.

I look forward to the day when the rotors are taken down (and used for roofing?), the pods mined for their rare earths. The towers will have loose mesh stretched between them, and collect wind power by releasing ions against an electric field maintained by the mesh. (This was patented in the '80s by Alvin Marks. Expired, now, both.)
Hello Amazon PR person!
If you moved to an expensive area to take a job (which many people did, some of them literally weeks before the Telltale shutdown) you're probably locked into a lease and can't just afford to ditch on short notice. Furthermore, the pay scale for game studios isn't especially generous so these people don't always have a big nest egg. Finding another gig in games is also time consuming and not something you can do on short notice.

Every time I've lined up pro work in games it's taken at least 3-6 months of up front hunting and negotiations before landing it.

fwiw I know lots of former telltale employees and interviewed there at one point. Investment in projects and in coworkers goes a long way and was definitely present there. Some of the people who did end up leading got a lot out of sticking around because the titles they shipped gave them a strong resume to point to.

I'd appreciate a detailed explanation of the steps needed to get from putting this chip on a motherboard to actionable intelligence useful to a hostile nation state.

If we're talking about being able to make changes at the OS level, surely those should be relatively easy to spot?

If we're talking about copying packets, wouldn't that be useless under most circumstances?

If we're talking about doing whatever on a mass scale, surely most of the data would be junk and a huge and very clever backend would be needed to sift out the useful elements?

Presumably none of this is impossible, but I haven't yet seen a good description of how it's all supposed to fit together.
> Oh yeah? which benefits?

Price discovery. Price discovery is directly facilitated by trading. The more frequent the trading, the more efficient the pricing mechanism (all else being equal). Active trading also facilitates higher liquidity.

Neither of these things can be properly facilitated by a passive index. Buying and selling (bidding and asking) is a mechanism for expressing optimistic and pessimistic sentiment about an asset's price. The only thing a passive index can convey is neutral sentiment, because it's just holding.

For a specific example of why this is important, let's look at something slightly different. Indices are only capable of expressing neutral sentiment in a market. It lacks the buying and selling functions. But private equity - such as venture capital investing, likewise lacks certain price discovery functions that public markets have. Private companies cannot be directly shorted regardless of how large their valuation. Likewise since liquidity is low it's easier to buy more shares than it is to sell shares. This naturally leads to a positive pressure on the pricing mechanism, resulting in inflated valuations that don't take into account pessimism.

Regardless of whether or not you feel tech is in a bubble, this is one reason why tech valuations have skyrocketed. There are credible arguments that similar distortions could happen to public markets if passive indices capture the vast majority of investing. But that's by no means a certainty.

> alpha generation is a zero-sum game

This is a mathematical fact. Let’s say you do better than the market because you deviate from the market weights. For each position that you have, relative to the market, there is someone somewhere that holds the complementary position. Because the agregate of all the positions is the market portfolio, by definition.
It's a little bit different though: both SMTP and NNTP existed way before big commercial companies made money on the internet, so by the point they started to bludgeon they had to adapt to the existing standards or die.

Today the companies rule first, so they have the capability (and it's actually easier for them) to do anything non-standard. There is very little chance one will do that.

Ask HN: Any respectul alternatives to Android?
I installed two new Android phones recently and, having the recent Chrome incident in mind [1], I had that odd feeling that the mini-computers that were in my hand were not mine.

It is more a mean for a company to get more data than ever possible.

The problem is that you can’t use an Android without connecting to your GMail account. Without identifying yourself.

This means Google know your contact list, your phone calls, SMSes (and their content), GPS coordinates (past and current), etc

It even gets worse! If you unlock your phone via face recognition or fingerprint, they have that too.

The last straw is that they don’t even let you choose what apps you want. You can’t remove the Play* suit, and not event Chrome.

Yes! Chrome! Microsoft was in the same boat a few years ago on Windows because they had IE installed by default, and they were forced to let other browsers be installed. Why Google can get away with that??!?

---

So I started searching for an alternative. The best promising ones, currently, are Firefox OS and Ubuntu OS... but wait! They all dropped their ambitions and both Mozilla [2] and Canonical [3] decided it was not worse it to pursue these paths.

Firefox OS was a great great idea in my opinion. Coming from Mozilla, you could expect to be respected as a person and feel that your data won’t be used against you. I’m starting to believe that their ambition came at the same time too late (Google’s and Apple’s domination) but also too soon (Number of privacy concerned people growing, myself included).

---

This is a cry for help. I’m starting to feel desperate that the only solutions are to accept our faith, giving every part of ourselves to Google or Apple, and hoping for the best.

So in a last grain of hope, I’m asking:

---

"Is there any viable alternative to Android or iOS that doesn’t require you to be www-authenticated to make a fucking phone call?"

So does this only affect ground temperatures in a localized area?

Because if Kansas gets 0.24 degrees warmer but the greenhouse gas reductions result in Greenland not melting off into the ocean, it seems like a clearly worthwhile tradeoff.

The iPhone XS and XS Max Review: Unveiling the Silicon Secrets
In the US, there's automatic unemployment insurance. It's run by each state and the programs differ. I believe the federal government has significant influence as well. I don't know anything about the California program but here's what looks like the relevant web site: https://www.edd.ca.gov/unemployment/

These people generally should be eligible (though again I don't know anything about the California program).

Edit: Oh I see a better answer to this. The other post brings up a very important point that people classified as independent contractors are not eligible.
It's time to start copyright check startup.
It doesn't, though. There is nothing fundamental to the concept of a laptop that requires lengthy, licensed repair. That's the point of the law--you're allowed to be realistic about your product's needs, you're not allowed to deliberately make it harder than it has to be, so you can corner the repair market.
Horrific feels like an understatement, to have the studio collapse like that on short notice without severance and insurance is basically fraud. They made promises to employees - some literally new hires - and then failed to fulfill them. They likely are also reneging on promises they made to partners and investors, all because they decided to try and skate the company along on the hope of big money coming in at the last minute. It's wildly irresponsible under any circumstances but for this to happen at a well-established studio demonstrates catastrophically bad judgement and general moral bankruptcy on the part of studio heads.

It's quite possible they could have entirely avoided this by not scaling the studio so large. 250 people is a LOT for a game studio, even one with multiple projects going. Telltale used to be much smaller and the money might not have run out.
I use Mpow headphones from Amazon. They work really well for running. I have tried many different brands and settled on these for price/quality ratio.

The price also means I don’t need to worry about losing them which is a great “feature”.
Jesus, I knew their sales had been rocky but I didn't realise HOW rocky. I guess the formula they had for games didn't really pay off across multiple instances.
I think that's the aim, not the failure of this plan.

The key difference is that instead of companies storing, owning and exploiting your data, the user maintains their own data store and companies can then access and exploit it.

It's decentralised in the way where the data lives and is controlled by, not in how or where the data is used.

There is the problem where companies could continue to use your data when you no longer let them access to your data store - but that in effect is at worse unethical and at best not legal these days.
One of the best things about Amazon Basics is the simplicity of their 1 year warranty.

If you got it in the last 12 months, call Amazon and explain the problem to them. They'll likely send you a replacement and probably refund your money, if the issue continues.
"Call of Duty" and "Assassin's Creed" are made by different studios and owned by big publishers I think.

Activision and Ubisoft offer different games.
you’re right, it’s a good question. my instinct is that markets get to the truth about what people need or want sufficiently to pay for. there’s a lot of virtue signaling and lip flapping bs to cut through in the dweb space.
Thanks for the recipes! That said my personal opinion is that, recipes are best communicated when they are as precise and clear as possible. Therefore, words like a "few hours", "cook it for sometime", "large amount" etc. would generally give very little detail to try. I do understand that not everything can be precise but in those situations it is important to communicate WHY one can not be precise. Otherwise, it is very difficult to follow recipes.
Isn't the math on solar really simple? (1) Annual amount of energy the sun generates on the surface of the earth minus (2) the annual amount used by non-human forms of life and natural processes equals (3) annual human energy balance. Now, maximize capture of (1) while minimizing externalities of such capture. How is anything other than direct solar-to-electricity conversion on the table long-term? Presumably even wind energy production relies on surface temperature differentials stored over periods longer than the consumption period in question--meaning, there's a resource being depleted.
> I doubt this will fix the situation for other items.

That's the point. The only way to buy genuine product, not co-mingled, will be buy it Amazon labeled.

Many Chinese brands have official stores at Aliexpress by the way, so you don't need to be okay with fakes if you don't want to. Not so many as at Tmall, but still.

An unacceptable breach of trust by Springer publishing
While that's true, and I personally am leaning towards believing Ford, there's also these premises we must accept:

(1) There will be millions of people against any Supreme Court nominee

(2) The bar for dismissal of a Supreme Court nominee is accusations, even without corroboration

Premise (1) is bound to be true, and premise (2) will be fulfilled if we decide Kavanaugh should not be nominated. The logical conclusion is thus likely:

(3) Any of the millions of people against a Supreme Court nominee can come forward with accusations without corroboration and block their nomination

While I think Kavanaugh's defensive and angry response is another valid issue, we could then just add a 3rd premise to the above where the uncorroborated claims would have to be met with anger by the nominee to be disqualified. It still seems like a screwed up system, with that third premise installed.

I don't think we'll see the fork/exec semantics going away anyway soon - inheriting privileges/file-descriptors etc. in this way is quite core to all unix like OSs.

posix does provide posix_spawn() though, which an OS could implement in a more efficient way than fork()+exec().
So, this article says there is no security model that doesn't trust the owner of the device, and there's something to that.

But "evil maid" attacks are a pretty routine occurance in China, and having hardware that is resistant to that would be very interesting. I don't know enough about hardware to really know if they can lock everything down far enough that it's impossible to physically mess with it. It would be interesting if you could verify whether it has been messed with using an iPhone that has been at your side.

But I'm not an Apple user anyway, so this doesn't really effect me anyway :)
Well then you have to choose between turning down the job for the chance you'll need unemployment insurance or taking the job because you need a job. The rational choice is to take the job regardless.
It's similar to how (in general) an industry-wide theme is that episodic titles have significant sales drop-off in later episodes. Sequels do too, albeit less so and less consistently. This is part of why companies selling episodic games (telltale included) try to sell you a whole season up front.

A big notable example is Square Enix's Final Fantasy 13 trilogy (3 games, FF13, FF13-2, and Lightning Returns), where IIRC sales basically halved on each release - so Lightning Returns sold about 0.25x what FF13 did [1]. (FF13 sold well, so this is at least not completely dire).

You can often make this up by spending less money to develop later episodes & sequels, which was true for both Telltale and the FF13 trilogy - but eventually it's not sustainable anymore.

It would be nice for sellers to be required to disclose that the product is their private label.

some are very obvious but it is similar when grocery shopping, it can be difficult to know who is making the product you buy.
I don't understand this. Kavanaugh hasnt been proven to be guilty. There are credible allegations which demand a further investigation as is being conducted by the FBI. Beyond that apart from his clumsiness at the testimony there isnt much going on against him. If these people are so data driven how come they choose to believe things for which we have no evidence. You may mock him for losing his cool but thats just about it. Anything beyond that is questionable and shouldnt be taken as the truth.
CoD and AC are actually good examples because they are two of very, very few franchises that ship a game every 1-2 years like clockwork, and to do this they have multiple studios working on games at the same time. Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Odyssey shipped roughly 1 year apart and this required separate studios working on them, basically in parallel. At various points in time Call of Duty has been rotating between 2 or 3 different game studios, effectively making totally separate games with the same* branding.

* The branding isn't really the same either, since CoD lacks strong continuity - with Black Ops and Modern Warfare basically being different games with only some shared elements.

If you're a persecuted minority you don't get time out from being persecuted. If your school's teachers need food stamps to survive you don't have a 'refuge from politics'. If you get sick and can't afford health care you don't have the luxury of 'avoiding politics'.

People's politics have consequences, and they should own them.
