Hey thanks for the new chart, and you're right about 1x. But we might have to disagree because I don't think this graph is that bad. I can see a bunch of talking points in this graph that are about strategy instead of about why I hate bad graphs.

First, that data point for lz4 out around 820 MB/s kind of throws the groove off of that graph. Despite that, I would still suggest you prune the graph off at 850 or 900 to reduce the squish of the horizontal data (pruning the graph to put the last value at 100% of width or height isn't considered a no-no).

One of the things I can see now but couldn't before is that the size/speed tradeoff is pretty linear except for the giant dog-leg around 3.6:1, and a less pronounced but still notable one occurs at 2.9:1.

If I sat down with my team to discuss this chart I'd suggest we agree that we aren't interested in anything above 3.6:1. And then I'd suggest we look at everything above 2.9:1, but my eye is on 3.2:1 (where zlib tops out and is 1/10th the speed).
If they don't like 2.9:1, then the next interesting point is at about 2.7:1 when zlib bottoms out. We're already at such a high bandwidth rate that something else is probably going to be the bottleneck.

D) Amazon doesn't actively report the return to the recipient and waits for the recipient to claim it. Some recipients don't, some packages are incorrectly paid for by their delivery contractor (USPS) insurance or go into incorrect penalties against them.

The most likely thing I would suspect is an initial program intended to handle seasonal employees leaving packages at the wrong door, then being abused leading to needing to come back and scan before redelivery..

I don't see why Amazon didn't spend their quote denying they in anyway paid drivers for returns as it reads to me like they aren't really denying that they might have a dark incentive that they became reluctant to fix.

(The article reads a little like it is just local police beat, but then there should be nothing from Amazon.)

However, the story is quite clear that this is a claim made by the accused thief, and not independently verified in any way. When an accused criminal gives a stupid-sounding justification for why he committed the crime, maybe don’t believe him.

Well, "environmentally conscious" is perhaps overstating it. Recycling and commercial composting (don't confuse that with the sorts of composting that gardeners do) is all well and good, but it just helps to mitigate the problem of garbage creation. The actually environmentally conscious thing to do is to minimize the amount of waste in the first place.

Can you answer the question you were asked please? Do you think the average person is capable of qualifying for the Olympics?
Even anti-alarmists don’t ask for proof that AGI is possible. Obviously it is possible. Speculation is the best you get because nobody is going to be able to prove anything. We haven’t proven global warming is caused by humans but it’s still worth it to be proactive about greenhouse gasses. This is because when something is extremely dangerous, you don’t wait around for someone to finish proving it beyond any shadow of a doubt. You probably also think that god exists because nobody can prove otherwise?

And what does alarmist even mean? Do you call global warming advocates alarmists? It’s such an annoying, nonsense word that boils down to name-calling really. Discuss the merits of my actual argument. If you think my speculation is wrong, point out a flaw in the chain of logic that leads to my conclusion. Don’t just wave your hand and say that “you can’t prove it” like some evangelical christian talking about god or global warming. Seriously infuriating when there is so much at stake.
AI is likely simple and won't require much processing power after all, so it will be impossible to ban it because it would imply more regulation and surveillance than what would be sustainable. Also global warming will likely kill us anyhow. The rational conclusion is to enjoy our supermarkets and warm showers as long as they last. They will probably last longer if we deny these threats so as to avoid causing mass panic and nihilism.
You should at least put quotation marks around it.

When I used to use the O-Bahn 15-25 years ago, the speed limit was 100 km/h along most of the track, reducing only near the interchanges. Bus drivers would frequently exceed the speed limit to make up time. I'm not sure what the speed limit is now, but I'd be surprised if it maxed out at 80.

Edit: I just read about its speed limit being limited to 85 km/h due to wear and tear and unevenness on the track. It seems the track is reaching the end of its life.

> we consistently find the average Facebook user would require more than $1000 to deactivate their account for one year

The Hackerati like to bemoan that most people don't value their privacy and will happily give it up to Facebook and Google, even suggesting that such people don't understand what they are giving up.

But maybe people do value their privacy and do understand what they are giving up - it's just that Facebook and Google offer something that is even more valuable than their privacy.
In addition to what other people have said about the impracticality of assuming choice, said hospitals will often not offer the same set of services, or will specialize in certain aspects of them.
Sorry to hear that.. you can usually appeal up the food chain sometimes.. e.g. to your states insurance department if the plan is regulated by your state. And at the Federal level you can also submit a ERISA appeal. None of it is fun and then there are deadlines... Also if you are on an employer provided insurance plan, you can talk to your HR who will have an insurance rep who can sometimes make these things go away e.g. get them paid. If you are at a large employer that self insures and uses a third party admin (like Cigna) then they can tell the admin to negotiate with the doctor/hospital and pay it.

Legit question: what about the data stored about you, but that you have no longer access to?
I have no clue if that is also covered by GDPR?
Maybe, but they are just "weird" about things outside of their comfort zone. I worked for a company in a CBRE building that had lawyers, financial planners, etc types of tenants. The company I worked for was a film/video post-production company. The obstacles the building put in place to the company to move in gave every clear indication that they really did not want that company as a tenant. For example, in the raised floor machine room, they wanted smoke detectors every 3 feet because of the "fire-hazard" VTR machines represent. All of the low-voltage video cabling for SDI video signals had to be run through EMT conduit. All low-voltage CAT-5 networking cabling had to be run through conduit as well. There were many more examples of the things that other tenants would not be asked to do. Also, a $1,000,000.00 escrow account had to be opened for the entire term of the lease. These are all sorts of things that make me think the building were just trying to find the point where the owner of the company was say it's not worth it. We've all been there with jobs that we don't really want, so we try to price ourselves out of the running with an outrageous bid.
Here is what I see happening. Companies stop worrying about the copyright law. Why should they? With youtube they have effectively proved that they can shut down any video they like without any negative repercussions. And now that piracy is way down due to streaming services, what do they gain by maintaining their copyright?

We've extended copyright so long that there isn't even a reason to extend it further. And now, the mechanisms to enforce copyright are so biased towards large corporations that, even without infringing, they can make your life a living hell if you cross them.

Don't believe me? Look at just about any youtube content producer. Basically all of them have stories about their content being pulled because some mega corp hears them mention something that might be theirs.
> By that logic Microsoft could also allow Windows 10 Home to run Active Directory. The reason there's a Pro/Home split is a commercial decision not a technical one, so trying to view it through a technical lens is faulty.

You misread the post.

eitland was saying that:
1) sandbox needs hyperv for technical reasons
2) hyperv is not in home for commercial reasons
3) therefore home can't have sandbox

Santosh83 wasn't trying to view the entire thing through a technical lens. Their post has an implicit understanding of the commercial argument when it comes to unlocking the full hyperv feature set. They were simply correcting the technical portion of someone else's argument.

Don't think so. A planet size black hole would still take billions of years to 'evaporate'. It would be quite dark.
Re: would attempt to deduce its position from the gravitational effects it might have on nearby known entities. What am I missing...

There probably are NO "nearby known entities". Planet 9 is probably further away than most detectable objects. The only reason it would possibly be found while "nearby" objects would not is because it's bigger.

And it's probably so far away that its gravitational tug is very slight on the big planets that are easy to measure. The article mentioned it may tug the outer gas giants by a "dozen meters" off course from models having no Planet 9 in them. That requires a really powerful "ruler" to detect.

The law is all about interpretation of expectation. This is why most politicians are lawyers.
The question of the relationship of complex numbers and QM is extremely interesting imo, and a lot of the article is devoted to this question, not sure I totally agree the subject at hand is why is the universe the way it is. Additionally, if by real amplitudes he meant a completely different set of laws, I don't see how that is relevant to a discussion of why complex numbers play such an important role in QM.

QM is really weird. One of its strangest properties is that although it contains classical mechanics as a limiting case, QM also required classical mechanics for its very formulation, see page 3 here [1]

When most people encounter QM for the first time, they want to come up with some "intuitive sounding" principles from which they can derive everything else. That's natural. Most people just give up at that and work on other things, other people take it really really far. So far no one has been able to do it, but who knows right.

In the article we can find this passage:

> A major research goal in quantum foundations, since at least the early 2000s, has been to “derive” the formalism of QM purely from “intuitive-sounding, information-theoretic” postulates

The entire approach of deriving QM from first principles without reference to classical mechanics may never work, not to mention that concept of "intuitive sounding" is highly subjective. Therefore, considering that there is no such set of axioms known at this time and the whole approach could be wrong, I find it objectionable to use this argument as a basis for explaining why amplitudes have to be complex.

I'm confused by what you're confused by -- you seem to be attacking a strawman rather than anything I said.

You're also confusing several issues:

- There's no reason that people can't be responsible for their choices and it be unethical for junk food companies to do what they do. Your entire premise is hinged on that being the case.

- I've never met a fat person that wasn't aware that junk food was bad. I'm sure they exist, but talking about the bulk of people, the 95% in the middle, they're aware that their diet impacts their health. They're simply choosing a self-destructive coping behavior of drugging themselves with food. I'm sympathetic to that, but I don't see any reason to pretend it's anything but what it is. Addiction and substance abuse, in a self-destructive behavior.

- I don't believe that ads are causal, just influential. Again, they're making a choice to act this way, even in the presence of ads. What bothers me about people in your camp is that you treat other humans like some kind of animal you own, can decide what's best for, and manipulate or control. You refuse to accept them in their capacity as human persons, who have agency and the capacity to self-direct, then have the gall to turn around and talk about me being the shallow one.

That's an interesting point though, if you made the mistake of publishing a private key at some point and force-pushed your repo to remove it you expect it to be gone from the system, but it's not.
I wonder if you could actually retrieve it from the cloned repo. Is it hidden somewhere in git?

EDIT: The cloned repos seems good, but following this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3973994/how-can-i-recove... you can easily find some "lost" commit and retrieve secrets. I checked with one of my repo and I realized I had compromised information...

I'm not sure if you have ever done this but there are a lot of caveats to that. Many car insurers will have you shop around for a good price, have you pick one of their preferred repair providers or may decide that damage you claim happened in the accident was preexisting. The job is called "claims adjuster" and I'd be surprised if no one from the insurance company visited you when you filed a claim.
Bans can work and Pigouvian taxation can work. Horses for courses.

In Seattle we've banned the cheap plastic bags that blow around and get stuck in trees. There are many, many fewer tree-stuck-plastic-bag-ghosts to be seen around now. We've also put a mandatory 5c fee (not a tax, sadly) on paper bags; there are many, many more people bringing reusable bags to the supermarket.

(Ignores, of course, whether these reusable bags are better for the environment holistically -- having lots of yuppies buying synthetic shopping bags made in China and shipped to Amazon DCs, then having them individually shipped out in Prime boxes, etc. before being used is probably worse than just having pulp grown in America made into bags trucked en masse to the grocery and generally recycled or composted.)

No, most of the time is wrong.
If you have a DeliveredOrder you want to make sure that is not delivered again, so the delivery function should accept only an Order, not a DeliveredOrder.
If in some different system you need a domain object that is both an Order and a DeliveredOrder than in F# you simply use an union type:

type Order = UndeliveredOrder of UndeliveredOrder | DeliveredOrder of DeliveredOrder

And in this way you can write a function that accepts both an UndeliveredOrder and a DeliveredOrder.

Why isnt it also a commodity like oil? it is the fuel for its blockchain. You cant use that public resource without it. It is built to plunge and surge just like oil prices do, based on supply and demand, which also comes in seasons just like oil.

Most commodities have seasonal patterns. Bitcoin trades like those.

It isnt controversial when a conmodity plunges and surges. Its actually better for different parts of the population at different times.

No, it's because ambulance service in Denmark is a public contract. Private citizen don't pay out of pocket.

Essentially, the state (or region) contracts a company to deliver ambulance services. The contracts usually last a few years and are limited to a region.

Furthermore, the company that wins the contract (usually lowest bidder) is held accountable is too many responses are too slow, etc.. usually with hefty fines.

I guess you can call it privatization, but it's more of a regulated monopoly. Ultimately, these things outsources uncertainty from the state to the private sector. I'm not convinced it's always a good idea, since companies can just factor the cost of fines into the contract... Granted if there is competition, it can drive the prices down a LOT.

They can?

Vox's reporting over the past couple years has suggested quite the opposite—that past prices are not easy to find, and that even when they are, your price can drastically vary from someone else's even for the same service. That's why they started this "submit your emergency room bills" project.
