Excellent and interesting reply, to my rather reflexive comment on your phrase in isolation.

I am heartened by the existence of this technology and news that it is proceeding, even with the lack of political help and funding at this stage of need.

A popular theme at this time is how people just have too much total impact - yet humanity as a whole might have enough comprehension and agency, to not only reduce and survive the worst outcomes, but achieve a positive and stabilizing impact on this diverse and precious world.

Thanks and Good winds !

In practice it usually is part of the same font selection dialog in most software that you use to select the font face, size, bold/italic/underline, etc.

For example, the relevant button in Word is titled "Font Color"
People do use unreviewed proofs. They just mark those results separately from the rest of the paper so that people (correctly) know not to rely on them, or at least to continue to treat them as tainted; they also usually try to avoid relying on such theorems for critical results. Which is a way better solution than what you're proposing, which is to just mix them in with proofs that people are reasonably confident in and hope for the best.
How do you mean? The throttling* is still entirely there, you just now have an option to say specifically in the detected battery fault cases "please just have my phone turn off or crash rather than having it continue to function (but slower)".

AFAICT, this switch won't affect throttling in other cases, such as near/sub-freezing temperatures.

* this is a pretty complex issue; "throttling" isn't even a great term once you actually start to understand how the power management works
It's the neverending battle between the short side and longs when it comes to TSLA. Whenever there is some negative news, the shorts just spam social media. The same with the longs.

You’re welcome.
Meta-analyses based on lots of studies, though, benefit from having unbiased publication of study results.
The obsession with positive findings is the most absurd thing when you think about it right?

Like, I've read anecdotes from people saying that the editors or whomever at some of these journals might turn down publishing null findings. Think about that for a second. What does that tell you about their mindset? What possible reason would you have for not publishing null findings?

Editor: "We gotta move these journals johnny! They need those spicy findings. If the findings aren't spicy, this stuff won't sell."

That's hyperbole, but that's essentially the only reasoning I can think of, and it's absurd. Like, what professionals reading journals are going to be like "Whelp, the findings in this journal haven't been spicy. I can't dab on this nonsense. I'm going to start reading the other journal." said no researcher ever; neither literally or in essence.
Are you saying the authors of this article are making shit up? You're delusional.
That's just non-sense. If you look at the teardown you will see that Tesla has great electronics (and cheap), best in class battery packs, a fantastic design, great suspension, software integration, innovative air condition, good charging speed and autopilot that is better then most competition.

Really the only thing they are not great at is some part of the interior (and not the important console part at the front) and that they have a somewhat cumbersome heavy body.
Singapore is full of Chinese people. Now compare Singapore Malays to Chinese-Americans.
The only thing I'd suggest missing out for TCL is the implied requirements in the "work" and "masters degree" comments - that at least some of this code is probably going to need to be shared and used/understood with others.

For that reason alone I'd say Python is likely to be a significantly better choice. (If I'm interpreting the implications correctly)

I've got experience with trying to find people who can work in Groovy on Grails projects - it's not easy. That's not a great reason to stick to "mainstream languages", but I won't be making the Groovy mistake again any time soon... And while TCL is definitely _capable_ of replacing Groovy, it is the wrong choice for me that same way that Groovy was...
As you probably already know, a "rule" isn't the same a a "law". Even breaking a law doesn't usually lead to criminal prosecution because most laws are civil, not criminal. And, most salient, the relevant standard for criminal prosecution w/r/t classified information require intent. HRC obviously did not have criminal intent. Moreover, nothing actually happened: while the setup may have been risky, there's no indication it actually had any consequences (beyond those for her career).

You can contrast this with the Republican attitude to Gen Patreaus, who intentionally gave classified information to his girlfriend and who was vigorously defended by the political right.
The problem is that it is too easy to have wrong ideas. If there only metric is how many studies you (or your group) have published, some will try to game it.
"X is political because it is a corporate entity defined in law." is a fully general argument that every company ever "is political", which is the dilution into meaningless I mentioned earlier.

And for all the things you mention, I support making them less political rather than more, and so should you. Finding an example of a politicized aspect of a thing is not an argument that it should become more politicized.
They just make it very clear that you can’t discriminate (or appear to discriminate) by protected characteristics during hiring. I have yet to have my speech “policed” for correctness.

Hold on a second here! It actually becomes the "currentColor" color in inlined SVGs, and the default fill color in svg when no color is defined. so oops, not a property strictly of text or fonts anymore. Maybe "foreground-color" would be appropriate?

Because such tactics were already successfully used in the past -- WW2 Germany, and post-WW2 Soviet Union. And they were quite effective, too. Seeing as the world is moving into another dystopian era, the same mechanisms can be employed again, this time enhanced by the electronic surveilance too.

Even just a single fraction of it -- a mandatory (at least where I live) cellphone, with permanent location tracking by the service providers is scary enough right now.
The email thing was also not illegal. It broke policy, and a junior might have been reprimanded (and maybe even fired), but not imprisoned. And given that Clinton was no longer in the government, she couldn't be fired.

We just have to look harder for them.

"self driving" cars are effectively cars with a robotic driver. They aren't here yet but they are on the horizon.

Arguably, the car itself is a robot. "Hey robot, go pick up soandso at the airport" or "hey robot please drop off these packages at the UPS store", etc.

Robotic locks "Alexa, lock the front door".

AR technologies on phones is straight out of sci fi, but in sci fi it would have been glasses or goggles offered by a humanoid robot... but now nearly everyone's phone can do it.

The Roomba is a great example of a robot that required a significant redefinition of the "problem" of vacuuming. A normal vacuum picks up some dirt, a Dyson will pick up significantly more dirt. A Roomba barely picks up any. The secret is that the Roomba goes all over the floor many times and eventually does a job comparable to a standard vacuum, but with no human labor required. The task is also stretched in time, the Roomba takes 5x or 10x longer than a human would take to do the same job, but it's OK because it can do the work when nobody is home to be annoyed by the noise.

Industrial automation is significantly enhanced by robotics, and it does a good enough job that we just buy the resulting products at the store, not knowing or caring how they were made.

Some robots that could be made with existing tech that would save lives would be:

- crossing guard robots that scoot out into the intersection to create a physical barrier before pedestrians begin to cross, then quickly scoot back to allow cars once the light changes.

- yoga robots that stretch and massage the muscles of humans to gently improve mobility and strength.

- sex robots create companionship for those who have difficulty with human companionship.

- tiny pest control robots will detect and help exterminate rodent and insect infestations, preventing disease.

- guardian robots will accompany elderly people, always ready to catch them if they fall and to call for help if needed. Similar units will accompany children while they walk to school or go about their communities unattended by adults.
They didn't all come from Chalabi. But in any event, I actually met the man as an intern at a K Street national security policy think tank. Chalabi was the darling of Cheney, Rumsfeld, and other neocons in the administration. To the extent Chalabi was the source, much of it was originally laundered through the administration (particularly Cheney's office) as anonymous leaks.

Presumably you would not have malware on your phone on iOS, or at least, that's the goal.
originally CSS had no layout facilities. (as it should be, see other comment). Layout was hacked in to css by abusing the "float" property into doing things it was never meant to be doing.
That doesn't actually break bitcoin - the end result is a redistribution of funds, not exploitation of a flaw of the protocol. The underlying system is still sound.
Hey thanks for the response.

I'm happy that rust has a good set of performant data structures, but on the other I feel like it's too soon to say Rust is the big winner here as the author does. I've been very skeptical on fantastical claims by language promoters.

But taking the pain out of making common data structures is a good start.

Really cool. The key principle that this tool highlights is the advantage of rapid iteration. Whenever you have a problem, spending the time up front to shorten your test iterations will pay off massively in the long run of the problem's life.
Parents pay people to teach their kids chess. There are chess classes and there are large organizations devoted to chess. Chess is at a completely different league than tetris; it's ridiculous to compare the two scenes.

If you live (and are opening a bank account) in a country other than your own, your passport is one of the only ways to prove your identity for KYC. I had to show both my HKID and my passport to get an account at HSBC, and I can use either of them as ID at the teller window.
The usecase I've seen more recently is that paywall news sites now store the number of page reads in multiple places. You end up having to clear more than just your cookies to 'reset' the read count.

Good thing it has been confirmed by mathematicians like I pointed out then huh?

>that his complaints against terrestrial climate models include the "fact" that they didn't predict warming on Pluto.

I am not interested in strawmen, I am interested in the simple, verifiable, objective claim being made. Every single climate model used to promote climate change hysteria uses the same feedback equation. They all make the same error, using the temperature difference rather than the temperature as they should. Using the correct data to calculate the feedback, those climate models produce only 2 degrees warming by 1200ppm CO2 rather than the 6 the IPCC is promoting. And they match with the last 20 years of data, while using the wrong figures as the IPCC promoted predictions do gave us hugely overestimated warming for the past 20 years. No amount of "I don't like things I pretend that guy said before" changes this. Math does not care about what anyone says or how anyone feels. The entire warming hysteria relies on the feedbacks, the IPCC and CIMP both agree that direct warming is only 1k, and claim feedbacks make it 3k. Without the incorrectly calculated feedback, there's simply no justifying the hysteria.

Alternative theory: Trump doesn't trust the NSA and wants a phone that they haven't touched. Intelligence agencies "leak" the "fact" through the NYT that Trump is being eavesdropped on by Russia and China with no evidence, in an attempt to coerce him into dropping his personal phone, whether for nefarious reasons or not.

At this point it can be virtually the same, or worse though.

To expand on the identity theft part, all the leaked info are enough to open an online low tier bank account (one might need to forge random images to prove identify and residency, but that’s super basic photoshopping, as it only needs to be scan quality). In particular the passport informations makes it a ton easier.

From there we move from simple identity theft, to possessing a bank account under the name of the victim, which opens the door to so many money schemes (no service will double check when asked to change bank info to another account with the same owner)

Fracking shale oil is a bad investment. Most of the drilling and exploration companies heavily involved in shale oil "tight oil" fracking are suffering financially due to poor estimates of well productivity and longevity. The primary reason for low oil prices in the Permian is due to a lack of pipeline in that region. The US is not actually self-sufficient in regards to crude oil used to refine into gasoline and other fuel products.

Have you ever lived in an older city?

My first apartment in my city was built in 1910, and it was one of the newer buildings in that neighborhood. Even cheap railroad flats controlled by slumlords for 50 years are in better shape than the crap built in the early 90s.

The fatal flaw of older frame houses is balloon frames, which burned many down.

Growing up in the country, 100-150 year old farmhouses were common. I’m personally acquainted with 1 house and 3 barns built in the Dutch colonial period.

IMO, most things built now except for custom homes and some commercial structures will be a pile of junk in 100 years. The wood sucks, the vinyl sucks and the foundations are weak. Scaled up developments are built to maximize tax benefits, period.
Google translate got a new appearance
There is a massive difference between doing something that will clearly hurt someone and choosing to do only work that benefits you. Researchers are currently under no obligation to write up their null findings, and it would be hard to get null findings in prestigious journals. This should be fixed at an institutional level, like the pre-registration of studies in the article, not as a mandate to each individual researcher to write up and publish every study.
I wrote about this before:

https://austingwalters.com/is-search-solved/

Basically, Google doesn't have an incentivize to ever provide some unique results to you. They solve for the "general" use case, and the more you click through the better for them (higher likelihood you'll click an ad).

I'm actually working on my own kind of search, it's the basis for a few of my websites.

It's useful as long as every browser supports it. When it doesn't, and you want to polyfill, the polyfill needs to download all linked CSS files a second time, implement a CSS parser to find the pointer-events properties, and after all that, patch in not entirely identical behaviour with javascript.

But then, this is behavior. what's it doing in a language that's supposed to be strictly about style/presentation? Why isn't it an html attribute instead?
The concept isn't that recent.

I've encountered them in various forms throughout the years, but the popularity has ramped up in the last decade as paper books became increasingly obsolete.
"Moral depravity" is maybe overstating the case. There are some pretty egregious cases that have come to light, but the vast majority of the problem is just a natural result of how even people with the best of intentions will still be influenced by a bad incentive structure.

For example, a big part of how the file drawer effect happens is that writing papers is expensive and time consuming, and it's hard to get anyone to publish negative papers, and academics' careers operate under a rather brutal "publish or perish" regime. All that adds up to, if you get a negative result, you've got a whole lot of very concrete reasons to cut your losses and move on. The goody two shoes who's scrupulous about reporting all their findings is not going to get rewarded for their efforts with a job. Nor will they be rewarded with the satisfaction of knowing they've done their part to improve the average quality of the published literature. Out-of-work scientists don't get many opportunities to do research.

That almost seems like an argument against designing CSS for what "people actually try to do" - what people try to do changes depending on the design language du jour. Better to have a generic specification for maximum flexibility, no?
You likely have a different issue then. The battery issue did not cause hangs, it just capped the CPU frequency to reduce power draw.

local furniture stores near me

turns up a good number of stores that are, in fact, near me. Brick and mortar, local, boutique places. Places I've never heard of. Yeah, the ads are for the usual suspects. But not only were there a lot of places that seem at least somewhat interesting on their own, there were a lot of articles from local news sources about furniture shopping in Dallas, TX. Which is also really convenient because that's where I live. Articles about the benefits of going local over big brands (internet driven or otherwise), where, when, and how to find good bargains locally, which shops are better for what categories of furniture. Etc.

I mean, Google certainly has some problems, but I don't think this is one of them.
This was a meta-analysis, not a study of its own.
just need adapters.
This is critical - even if no individual study has positive results, the data from each study can be aggregated and that meta-analysis can find results much more easily. I remember reading (but can't find the link to) an article about a medicine that took many trials to have one trial with statistical significance, but a meta-analysis of the first five or so trials would have revealed the efficacy of the drug under test much sooner and at a much lower cost.
I don’t know what you mean by “from the beginning”, but in any case there is no existential faith crisis in rejecting even very early traditions or beliefs which were not part of scripture, as evidenced by the prolific success of Bible-focused denominations. The idea that hymns are the one true way to worship is utter nonsense.
This is genius! Perhaps they should split dishwashers in two, with an option to only clean one half at a time.

I'm not completely sold on the argument that software should aways fill the user's screen. Many websites, for example, don't use the full width of the screen for text, and I think I personally like it that way because I don't have to sweep the entire screen to read. Screens are landscape, rather than portrait like books, so it can be annoying to read overly wide lines of text.
According to the article, they did not, but they plan to do another study with more data and preregister it.
AWS just seems too complicated to me. I like to spin up simple VMs (with local storage) without any surprises.
Traditionally, font is just the shape of the characters (size, weight, italics). Other things (alignment, underline, wrap, color).

This is because "fonts" were originally physical typesetting blocks.

Some designers go further and say font refers only to the files and file formats; other things are the "typeface".
