Yes. This is Chinese version. It's "Triple C" certified instead of UL certified. The components might be different across different versions but we are not certain.
The next time we will try to have a comparison between the same products aimed for differnet regions.

> Because everybody, universally, understands that removing the headphone jack is a terrible idea.

I've argued this point before, and wasn't particularly in the mood to discuss it again. There are multiple reasons I didn't bring it up:

1. I use an iPhone SE, so I'm not really qualified discuss this. I do exclusively use AirPods now, though, so I have the feeling that I wouldn't mind the lack of a headphone jack now.

2. The removal of the headphone jack was not done in a vacuum; it's pretty obvious that if there was no drawbacks, it would be great to have a headphone jack in my iPhone. But we live in a world where tradeoffs exist–otherwise, my phone would have every port that ever existed in the last thirty years.
The estimates here were wrong because there was nothing to estimate at all - gig economy is a marketing buzzword for an unusually isolated yet reasonably substantial unemployment bracket. The upper bound of the bracket being the sub-minimum wage compensation that Uber pays their drivers[0] and the lower bound being the amortized cost of the cheapest vehicle that Uber lets drivers utilise for their 'gig'.

That's a really small demographic who would fit both criteria. Recently unemployed people and students come to mind.

Importantly - Uber knows this fact very well and are doing everything they can to survive until fully autonomous self driving cars reach mass production.

It's worth mentioning that 7.62 ammo weights about 3X more than .223. It's my understanding most US military units use .233 largely for this reason.

The whole concept of .223 is to put more propellent behind a smaller projectile. This gives the projectile more speed which makes it exceptionally lethal and accurate at very long distance. Unlike handguns that basically poke a hole, .223 generates a shockwave when it strikes at a multiple of the speed of sound.
Two points:

First, yes the rationals are already countable. But the reals are uncountable. You cannot write a function to generate all real numbers - not even if you allowed the function to run for an infinite amount of time.

Second, most of the reals are individually uncomputable, which literally means no, we cannot calculate them to arbitrary precision (or any exact precision).

Likewise we cannot just redefine the set of real numbers to be restricted to the set of computable reals. Analysis rapidly breaks down when you do so and it follows that the real field is no longer closed (by definition, and therefore no longer subject to the field axioms).
I always wonder how much publication bias exists in these fields: “Drug X isn’t that bad for you” seems like it might be a lot harder to publish than series of papers ratcheting up the severity of some bad effects.
Sorry if this sounds accusatory, but do you have Face ID on any of your devices? It seems like you might not, since you're "not upgrading". I'm asking this because I have found Face ID to be generally better than Touch ID, but I had to use it a couple of times to "get" it.

You seem to have an issue with reading comprehension, considering which sentence you specifically quoted.

What does globalization have to do with chopping lettuce on an industrial scale that disperses pathogens across massive batches?

It doesn't matter where the consolidated lettuce came from, the real problem is that it was processed.

Furthermore, in the example I'm referencing, which was thoroughly covered in the US news as the CDC got involved, we were dealing entirely with domestic suppliers from California and Arizona. But I don't see how that is relevant in the least. The problem is that the stuff was processed in aggregate.

For real. Apple's prices are completely out of control. Here in India, the Apple iPhone XS starts at INR 99,000 ($1,400).

That's an absurd price for a phone. A brand new OnePlus 6T is a third of the price.

Their new laptops are also insanely priced. The 2018 Macbook Air is more than 2x the price of the 2017 Macbook Air.

I don't know what kind of pricing strategy this is, but it has turned me completely off the company's lineup.
iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6s have similar processors that differ by less than a generation. I'm surprised you find that their performances are so different.
This existed: a company called Recon made a HUD built into ski goggles. I have one and it's kinda fun: GPS and altimeter, and connects to your phone for notifications. It didn't sell well though and I think is now discontinued. The company was acquired by IBM.

I do agree with that entirely. Our 4e group threw out half the explicit rules and did a lot of improvising.

One of 5e's greatest strengths was explicitly telling the DM how and when to wing it and improvise, rather than giving a rule for everything. The 5e DM's guide tells you that you can skip the encumbrance rules, that you can just give a level after every session or two rather than counting XP, that you don't need to do as many combat encounters if your players like story more, and spells out how to make new monsters.
This article didn't need to be written. No serious economist is an 'Austrian' economist. No one identifies themselves by the labels that modern day 'Austrians' argue about. The field has moved on. It's all about quantitative modelling, maths, observation, etc... Past Austrian school economists have contributed things, but the modern day 'Austrians' are basically neckbeards who argue on the internet about Hayek and Mises and contribute nothing new to the field.

> In my experience the reviews are most useless for small items, where fake reviews can easily manipulate the reviews or are even the only reviews available.

Yeah, 'big ticket' wasn't the right word; probably I meant 'commodity'. I meant to exclude things like reviews of obscure books, which sellers apparently usually don't bother trying to game, since they seem to be reasonably reliable (at least, last time I checked, which was a while ago …).
By the end of this month we will have instructions on how to host your own gaia hub in DO spaces (on Digital Ocean) using the develop branch of gaia in our Blockstack docs located here:

https://docs.blockstack.org/

So stay tuned.

I personally find Digital Ocean to be the most user friendly, so we are trying to lower barriers to make it as easy as possible to roll out gaia hubs by providing instructions for these kind of platforms.

We are also rolling out instructions and images for the major cloud hosting platforms. If you have any preferences for a particular platform you would like supported or any other feedback, let me know.

Currently on master branch, gaia supports the following drivers:

Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Local disk (you must set up static web-hosting to point at this driver), and Google Cloud Storage

You can learn more about how to set up your own gaia hub here: https://github.com/blockstack/gaia/blob/master/hub/README.md

> Now, you might mean that most mathematicians suspect that adding CH to ZFC is more intuitive/natural/useful than adding !CH to ZFC, but that's a quite different statement.

I guess I'm a constructivist about this.

You can't just wave your hands and take !CH as an axiom. Remember what that means: you reject that there is no set with cardinality between the integers and the reals, so you're implying there is such a set. I realize not all mathematicians share this point of view, but if you can't somehow construct the intermediate set you're claiming exists, or show that it can be constructed, then you don't really have any grounds for taking !CH to be true. Without a positive reason for believing such a set exists, I have a hard time pretending that !CH could possibly be a "useful" (your word) axiom to add to ZFC.

By contrast, imagining that CH might be true is easy. You don't have to construct any never-before-seen mathematical objects to make your point. You just presume, without fear of being contradicted by ZFC, that the integers are countably infinite, and the reals are uncountably infinite but only sort of "minimally" so (there are higher orders of uncountable infinity, but none lower). You may never be able to prove CH (certainly not with ZFC, and almost certainly not with any other logical system), but at least the model makes sense: there's no cardinality in between that of the integers and the reals.

Which is not to say that CH is particularly useful! In fact, maybe the most interesting thing about the paper is the idea that the CH could be meaningfully connected to anything in an applied form of math like machine learning. Does that weird connection between CH and ML have any practical consequences for ML in general, or the EMX learning algorithm in particular? Probably not, especially since assuming CH is true just implies EMX should work, so it's fine to keep using it to solve learning problems.

In other words, if you wanted to convince an ML practitioner that their learning algorithms might be unreliable because the Continuum Hypothesis might be false, I think they would be within their rights to request you show them an actual set with cardinality between the integers and the reals. When you couldn't, they would then be within their rights to ignore your objection.
True, but it makes it significantly more likely that they are, given that Apple has officially said that iPhone sales were less than they had expected.

> Most people need to start by memorizing phrases by rote first.

The most effective for most people is to hear a large amount of the language being spoken, bootstrap by memorizing a few words, and then reliably get some amount of practice speaking and a lot of additional exposure listening.

Similarly, the best way to learn to write is to do occasional bits of writing with feedback and tons and tons of reading.
Plus, a significant chunk of Walter Isaacon’s “Steve Jobs” focused on how disjointed medical care is, how Jobs worked to overcome that by insisting medical professionals coordinate his care, and how he hoped that he’d be one of the last to die from the kind of cancer he had if he didn’t make it (because he felt it should have been treatable if care had been properly coordinated).

Another way to see is that sanctions are a way to wage war without the problematic optics of direct military intervention, and thus they lower the threshold for inflicting harm on another nation.
Considering the average adult male thumb length is ~70mm and female is ~63mm[0], that would be 7-8% of thumb length increased in height and 4-5% in width.

That's not even including the very different screen interactions on XS vs the iPhone 8, where the screen itself was significantly smaller.

It remains unlooted so far.

On the contrary, public employee unions (including teachers) have done a masterful job of enriching themselves at public expense. E.g. Oregon:

Member accounts saw appreciable and consistent growth during this time, but underlying pension assets did not grow to cover the increased benefit guarantee. Career public employees who worked from 1970 to 2000 often were entitled to retirement income replacement rates over 130% of their pre-retirement earnings.[1]

Show me private sector pensions (if you can still find any) that come close to that.

I noticed the size difference immediately when I got my iPhone X, and I still notice it every day, even if I'm not comparing it side by side with an iPhone 8. Maybe you got used to it, but I haven't, and likely won't.
First and foremost:

> The Natural numbers are still infinite which presents its own inherent difficulty. It's not as though countability lends itself better to programming

Actually countability does lend itself to programming, essentially by definition. You cannot write a function to enumerate all the real numbers precisely because they're uncountable, even if you had an infinite amount of time. You can trivially do this with a "merely" countably infinite set, like the naturals or rationals.

> Suppose we are only working with rational multiples of Pi. Then we can ONLY have finite calculations of irrational numbers and it's impossible to have a finite calculation of a rational number (except for multiplication by 0).

It sounds like you're suggesting we can store an irrational number in a finite representation by generating it with a finite function (e.g. multiply a rational number of times). But that doesn't work. You can't represent a number N in a finite number of steps if you can't represent all factors of N in a finite number of steps.

This fact follows from the field axioms for the same reason that all products of irrationals and rationals are themselves irrational. Simply put, if you can't do it for Pi, you can't do it for a rational multiple of Pi.
You seem a bit disingenuous here. Upthread you needed "a source" for the obvious fact that hospitals are part of a national economy. Now the deaths of children are "a natural result". Which is it, really? Maybe it's just good for USA policy to kill kids, by one way or another? Anyway, sanctions are usually just a pretext for war. (Every military disaster USA has perpetrated during my parents' lifetimes has been preceded by sanctions.) The military-industrial-media complex tells us over and over that sanctions are some sort of peaceful option, but a cursory examination of history proves that is a damnable lie.

"The alternative" is what every president from Washington through Arthur would have advocated: stay on our own continent and mind our own business.

But the iPhone 8 is already 15mm taller and 9mm wider than the iPhone 5/5S/SE which is probably the most comfortable size for a phone. Plus, the fact that the screen itself is much larger makes it more difficult to reach everything with one hand.
