The most important thing is that it made into the headlines that and drove the AAPL stock down, and the QCOM stock up.

- "Chinese Court Says Apple Infringed on Qualcomm Patents" New York times

- "Apple Hit With Sales Ban on Older iPhones in China" Wall Street Journal

- "China bans most iPhone sales after granting Qualcomm an injunction against Apple" CNN

- "Apple Banned From China As A Result Of Battle With Qualcomm" Forbes

- "Qualcomm Says It Won Case Banning Sale of Older iPhones in China" Bloomberg

It's plain ridiculous and shows how much the press cares about the truth and how much Qualcomm and others are paying them to write misleading crap like that.

In theory, Qualcomm banned iPhone sales in China.

In practice, no. All phones that Apple is selling have the latest iOS 12, so it's plain wrong that they banned the sale of a single iPhone, old or new.

Not really, no. These probes don't really accelerate by burning fuel; instead they pick up velocity by doing a bunch of gravity assists. The more of these you do, the faster you go, but sometimes you have to coast around the sun for years to align yourself with the next gravity assist, and this gets worse and worse until you hit solar escape velocity. Using this method, your final interstellar velocity will just depend on how many objects you can slingshot around on your final 'kick' out of the solar system. (So, in other words, you can get in the same ballpark as Voyager, but not orders of magnitude faster.)

Here's a video of what it takes "simply" to get out near Jupiter, nevermind out of the solar system.

The Voyager spacecraft took advantage of a special planetary alignment that won't happen again for over a hundred years.

The probes use a star tracker to determine their orientation (they apparently look for the sun and one other star). I assume they keep track of their expected position in the solar system, and this is fine-tuned with updates from the ground station. If you have position and orientation, you can compute where the Earth should be at the current time and point the antenna in that direction.

HDMI audio from the Pi is fine. It’s analogue audio from the 3.5mm TRRS connector where the sound quality is poor, quiet and hissy.

I first discovered how bad it was building a bespoke car stereo out of a Raspberry Pi 1 - and ended up buying a USB DAC because of it. But it seems to still be an issue even in the later boards because emulation forums are often talking about using HDMI or an addon board for RGB+Stereo if your display doesn’t support HDMI.

This is not remotely true. It's true that there are lots of data scientists who can string together sklearn or R models. However, very few people know how these models work, when to apply them _and why_ or what concerns need to be addressed on data, metrics and deployment. Even fewer know how to improve these models once they catch all of the low-hanging fruit.
And how is that corrupt? Renumbering happens a lot. Even a big city like Chicago was renumbered twice.
Since people were able to figure that out, then people could use that knowledge to create fake watermarks that decode to other people. If someone in the alliance wanted to frame another person in the alliance as a leaker, then they could do it easily with this knowledge.

People that make systems like this should make sure the hidden value is signed or encrypted in a way using a hidden key so that people can't make fake watermarks for other users.
>> It's the same logic young people use to justify not voting

What's wrong with not voting? If you're a regular person, it takes a lot of time and energy and you get nothing out of it. One vote never made a difference.

I don't buy the argument that "If everyone thought like that, then it would make a terrible difference"... This statement is bullshit because the premise is false to begin with; most people will not think like that because most people are sheep and will vote for whoever the media tells them to vote for.

The people who buy the rhetoric that their vote makes a difference are the same people who buy all the bullshit propagated by the political media.

If someone is suggestible enough to accept the premise that one vote out of hundreds of million makes a difference, then surely these people are also easily influenced by other kind of media. It's very far fetched.

If you're a thinker, then your vote can never compete against the masses who just follow the media.

It is a dog whistle for "I'm a bigot". A good technique to filter trash is to stop reading when you see somebody use "SJW" in a non-ironic way. It basically means they aren't worth talking to.
I highly doubt this is for IoT advances, nor for internal debugging - because they have both already.
The watch, AirPods, all the 40+ processors in an iPhone, the chips in each and every dongle, Apple is way past starting in IoT. AFAIK the vast majority of cores do not run XNU though, which would further make this seem weird.
And for debugging, they just have actual iPhones that simply have the JTAG engine turned on.

I'm having trouble understanding what they could possibly want from any non-Apple SoC at all... unless their intention is really to make XNU on arm64 more open for developers and hackers. But I somehow doubt that.

A satellite screw-up reaffirms Einstein’s theory of gravity
Remember, the longer the half life, the less dangerous the waste as it dumps its energy more slowly. Consider technetium-99, for instance (from Wiki):

"The weak beta emission is stopped by the walls of laboratory glassware. Soft X-rays are emitted when the beta particles are stopped, but as long as the body is kept more than 30 cm away these should pose no problem. The primary hazard when working with technetium is inhalation of dust; such radioactive contamination in the lungs can pose a significant cancer risk."[1]

Laboratory glassware, safe distance 30cm. Hardly a "pretty deep hole"!

Leaving aside the historiographical issue of how projecting modern descriptive terms onto the past fundamentally distorts our understanding of how people back then conceived of their society, I'm afraid you're laboring under some extreme misapprehensions about the nature of the late Republican government. That Republican Rome was governed by an aristocratic land-owning oligarchy for pretty much its entire existence is an undisputed historical fact. The Gracchi were wealthy members of the ruling elite wielding land redistribution as a political tool in their competition for power with other members of the ruling elite. They weren't ordinary Roman citizens organizing popular resistance from below.
In the search link I posted above, there are lots of explanations of this, for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17996295.

It's also the way HN has always worked. A collection of nameless posts would be a very different kind of forum. Anyone is welcome to start one, but not to turn this one into that one.

You can't generate your own without paying a licensing fee. Nothing[§] prevents you from extracting existing watermarks and applying them to other things.
This is called a copy attack. There are mitigations[1] but I believe they are not practical for banknotes. I've been told by a Digimarc representative in private conversation about the mentioned paper, that "The Digimarc for Images solution does not utilize the exact functionality described in the paper [..]". This was in 2011, I don't know if things have changed.

Dating Ghostwriter Approves the PRE-DATE
I'm much more familiar with Bittorrent than IPFS, but as I understand it IPFS treats each object as its own swarm. This is quite the opposite of having a single global swarm. In Bittorrent terms it's as if each piece and the torrent itself are all separate swarms.

What makes IFPS more global is that they have defined a set of standards for linking objects together to form potentially complex structures. The holy grail is to scale this up to create a whole new World Wide Web based on linked IFPS objects rather than linking to resources on specific hosts.

Mr Horowitz kinda missed the point no. 1 here. I think 9 out of 10 examples there were made during the "pets.com" moment that Chinese internet had around 2013-2014, where countless similar companies flopped, and the remaining ones are been failing with daily frequency since then.

For the few remaining ones, the survival is an everyday task, and there is no wonder that they got that flexible, in order to squeeze last dimes from remaining users.

It's not spelled out, but along the way she writes about various clues that (my interpretation) the books might be some sort of collaboration between a prominent Italian author and his wife. And who knows, maybe others?

But never mind the essay. For what it's worth, I liked the first book in the series and got bogged down in the second. It's an interesting glimpse of a particular time and place in Italy.

Chromecast and it's probably one of the best things Google has built in recent years.

The Nobel Prize for climate catastrophe
How should history account for the economic unrest allowing the Gracchi to come to power? It seems that if the overall economic system were not functioning to distribute prosperity widely enough then some sort of chaos would ensue - is it the norm breaking, could the economic instability be a stronger contributing cause? Would the norm breaking even be possible without the lack of access to economic opportunity?
Find a system or process that uses a series of rules to categorize, label, or action things, especially one that is occasionally incorrect. Model these rules with a ML algorithm using the rule outputs & user corrections as labels. See if you can build an ML system that out-performs the rules. (If you can, it'll probably be by looking at data that the rules didn't consider.)

Note: your ML system will likely be less explainable than the existing rules. This won't matter as much if the current rule collection is already more complex than a human can deal with. It will matter a LOT if your decisions are subject to regulation.

erm, commenting on the ROI bit, but in Journalism AFAIK (or at least writing articles and so on) there are concepts of how a title/ sub-heading / article should be written to give the maximum amount of info based on its "part" (if i make myself clear in that a title/sub-heading/article is a part of an article).

in that sense, writing with this in mind makes the ROI pretty obvious, since it's being written already in the first place.
Psyops, definitely. jimjimjim upthread has the right idea. Start by setting up all sorts of alternative news sources each of which tell you to distruct the others. Get the militia movement on side, that's completely critical. Have a convicted traitor running the NRA. The kind of people who volunteer to do their own immigration enforcement, or who seize wildlife reserves. All this lot hate the "federal government", so you have to rebadge the takeover as something else.

Spread reports of election interference by "liberals". Use it as a pretext for cancelling polling in certain counties. Stage a couple of mass shootings at polling places. Bingo.

So? They were still elected by popular vote. The fact that votes were grouped in a certain way doesn't suddenly change the system from democracy to something else.

If you demand that all matters must be decided by simple-majority popular vote in order to call a government "democratic" then there has never been a democratic government in all of history. Even Ancient Athens had assemblies, councils, tribunals, and other elected offices.

Some publishers show ads based on the CPM that advertiser is willing to pay; that happens in almost real-time. So these yellow ads were dished out because they had a high CPM. It's probably difficult to tell what the real CPM might have been if these ads weren't in the system.
Getting an accurate count is not the issue; that's part of the show. The issue is that you only have one single vote out of hundreds of millions and the pool of candidates is ridiculously, ridiculously limited.

In a fair system with over 300 million potential candidates, how likely would it be that a father and his son would both be elected as president (as was the case for George Bush junior/senior)? What about the Clintons? When we factor in the empirical evidence, how can we still think that one vote out of hundreds of millions make any difference at all?
I had a very similar experience at that same time in Laos. Waiting days to be able to cross the Mekong. Exchanging money for local currency resulted in obscene piles of cash that made me feel like a bank robber. "The bus" was an ancient truck with wooden slat seats in the back and stopped for everyone and everything - animals, welding kit, more people. There were no paved roads, most villages had no power after dark so it was candle light, playing card and conversation for entertainment. I remember when I decided to leave it took days to get to Luang Prabang. Everything felt sort of adventurous and rewarding. I was glad I got to experience it. Aside from a couple places I have rarely experienced that level of buzz from traveling since then.
>The final years of the Republic were characterized by fights over citizenship for the Italians, consolidation of land in the hands of a small number of slave-owning oligarchs, meaning that more and more people were unemployed and ineligible for political advancement, and politicians breaking the political rules to push their agenda (kick out the guy vetoing my popular bill) or halt someone else's (kill the guy who passed that popular bill).

Except when you start preaching that idea, then you are part of the masses that think that way, and hence the minority of people who do vote, and who do not represent the majority opinion, are the ones that influence the outcome.
