yes theres multiple kinds of inefficiencies concerning the external circuitry etc, but there is also the intrinsic inefficiency of current LEDs: some of the high energy photon are downcoverted to a low energy photons by phosphors, so there is non-radiative (heat) generation in the phosphor itself. In theory it is perfectly possible to use "quantum cutting" i.e. 1 photon -> 2 photons instead of 1 photon -> heat + photon. There is quite a lot of research on quantum cutting phosphors, both for LED's and for VUV excitation etc, so these higher efficiencies will probably come, but I don't know how far out in the future. If someone knows of commercially available quantum cutting phosphors (or products using them) I would be very happy to know about them for some physics experiments...

Still kind of shocking that $700 is "medium pricing" now.
I don't think it's ridiculous. Planes can fly themselves now, but when people are aboard, we still have a person in charge of the plane.

It's partly a cultural thing--we trust people to have a conservative sense of self-preservation and obligation to the "souls aboard" that we know computers lack.

And, we know that despite the computer's superior speed of mathematical computation, it remains a somewhat inflexible "thinker" that only does what it is told to do by a human. We have no way to rigorously account for all possible scenarios the plane might face, the we can rigorously account for the performance of the materials and fuel of the airplane.

Wow - I took introductory topology with Colin just a few years ago. He wove in a few examples from OP's book and I had several friends who took his knot course - excellent resource for anyone interested and he is an amazing person/mathematician.

Readers here might appreciate one of my favorite homework "problems" from his topology course- it's a simple but counter-intuitive mathematical result that's easy to replicate even for young children. Rip a sheet of paper (8.5x11 will do) in two long strips. Take the strips and tape them so that one is a ring and the other is a Moebius strip.

Here's where the magic happens: make a guess about what happens when you cut each object long-ways, then cut both objects with a pair of scissors. Won't give any spoilers but the result may surprise you :)

EDIT: also forgot to mention the knot book and his topology book are great at highlighting open/outstanding problems that precocious undergrads could tackle. I definitely wish more authors of math texts went out of their way to point out avenues for exploration like this.

That's the latest ridiculous annoyance in a long, sad series of ridiculous annoyances that I've experienced with portable audio, to the point where I've just resigned to not listen to music anywhere other than at home and at work. The hassle and distraction of managing either an audio cable or a Bluetooth connection are just too much.
I think of it as "cargo cult sci-fi"--adopting the trappings of spaceships and ray guns without understanding or caring about the science.

But you're wrong to say that it's a modern issue. That kind of sci-fi has been around since the 1920s at least, pretty much since the moment sci-fi got popular. The facade of grim cynicism may be newer, but it dates to the '80s at least.

Upload a picture of what you have in your grocery cart and have it identify the products within the cart. Or alternately, upload a picture of the receipt for a grocery purchase - and keep an inventory of what food/ingredients you then have in stock from the receipt to be able to suggest recipes from. Allow for the repurchase of items from the receipts - have the system monitor what the original price was for the item and check amazon to find a better deal and alert you when that thing that you bought is now cheaper. Have it keep track of how often you buy something and build a predictive shopping list each month based on your rate of previous consumption.

Upload a picture of the receipt of your restaurant bills, and keep track of the types of foods eaten over time, how much you paid for them and maybe what your caloric intake was based on that information.

You see, it would have to weave the coconuts together with saliva and fiber strands from the husks, like a floating nest-raft. Then it would have to ride the southbound East Australia side of the south Pacific gyre to the Antarctic circumpolar, get off at the northbound Benguela side of the south Atlantic gyre, cross west on the equatorial currents, and catch the northbound Gulf Stream side of the north Atlantic gyre, and bear left at the North Atlantic Drift. Then it would have to bear right at the Outer Hebrides, shoot between Orkney and Shetland, and try to make landfall at Norfolk. It could raise its wings in favorable winds, or flap around a bit in still air. Certainly doable for an experienced seabird.
It's valid to ask whether there is any credible theory or evidence that he is basing his opinion on. I'm also interested in hearing whether there is.
IBM licensed Amiga tech for use in the OS/2 2.0 (and later) desktop. In fact, that's how we got ARexx; as part of the licensing arrangement, IBM granted Commodore-Amiga a license to use their REXX language.

I wonder if that's part of what's going on with autism-spectrum-disorders: i.e. an autistic mind doesn't set the threshold of what's worthy of conscious thought at as high a level as neurotypical people, so they get more caught-up in the low-level details.
No. There's a tension between protecting consumers and supporting corporates. Europe tends to err more towards the former than the US does. That's just a cultural difference.

This is much less about some parochial anti-US sentiment and much more about calling Facebook out on behaviour that is seen as unacceptable according to European cultural norms. Perhaps also laws because I'd guess there's at least some question whether Facebook's behaviour is GDPR compliant.

Were it the case that no US organisations were questioning Facebook's behaviour then you would perhaps have a point. But it's not. Much of the anti-Facebook press is coming from US institions (NY Times, Washington Post, Bloomberg, ...). Several state & federal agencies are at various stages of inquiries.

So the idea that this is some move against US corporations doesn't really stand up to scrutiny.

Problem (a) is pretty silly. If you use a library with a vulnerability in it, you need to be prepared to upgrade the library. How many people using (for instance) Markdown libraries understand how their library handles memory management or recursion? Meanwhile, the alternative in cryptography is hand-hacked direct-to-primitives coding that is likely to create more bugs. Further, the primitives that are most likely to "need swapping" aren't algorithms (AES and SHA2 may never fall, just like 3DES, but for its block size, still hasn't) but constructions, which are hidden in hand-rolled crypto code.

If you "scramble to get algorithms together because you know them" and use AES-256-CTR with HMAC-SHA256, in my experience auditing crypto code, you're very likely to have scrambled together at leave two game-over crypto flaws that libraries like Tink and libsodium avoid for you.

The code below doesn't sound right, can you double-check the intent? I don't think timeout will go to 0, unless you make it a blocking assignment.

end

timeout <= timeout + 1'b1;

That's why in Verilog RTL we generally try to keep always blocks as small as possible, so they focus on assigning the same small set of signals in all branches.
I interpreted 'regulator' as IRS agent because the discussion is on Netflix tax bill and you talked about some corrupt agents ... but OK, an IRS agent isn't really a regulator ... kind of. The executive branch bureaucracy is tasked with enforcing existing laws (which includes regulating specific domains). Regardless, my actual point stands and you haven't answered that. More specifically 1) what is it that you're actually talking about and 2) do you actually evidence of any impropriety with respect to Netflix' tax bill? Because you are so sure about all those corrupt agents who lined their pockets in order to give Netflix a lighter tax burden.

>Plus, as a single man, I got a ton of matches on Bumble, a lot more than any other state. Made me feel very welcome.

Really? According to the statistics, the west coast cities have a surplus of single men, whereas the east coast cities have a surplus of single women. Of course, lots of single women in a place doesn't mean that there's a lot who will match you.

I'm in DC, the #2 metro area for surplus single women (NYC is #1), and interestingly, I do get a lot of dates, but the large majority of them are from Asia (as in born there, not just descended from there). The professional white women here all seem to want a guy from the cover of GQ who likes to go to bars and drink a lot, and I don't drink. Or they're conservative and religious. Maybe I need to move to Portland...
One can also legitimately bring up other examples to ask why they aren't being treated similarly without it being whataboutism in every case.

It sometimes can be difficult to distinguish when someone is using another example to excuse the primary subject with whataboutism or to make a sincere inquiry into why such a disparity exists.

Of course, sometimes it's easy to tell what people are doing.

I actually think having different models (functional and imperative) just adds to confusion. I don't think immutability is all that useful personally, unless the language is purely functional to begin with. I'd keep it simple and stick to C as much as possible.

Why not go the other way and pass everything as a reference? After all that's what Java does, and that's how you'd pass any struct in C anyway. It's a rare case when I need to forbid the calling function to not modify an argument for whatever reason or because I don't trust it - in that case you can make a copy beforehand or use a const modifier. But in most cases I'd expect functions to modify the memory that I pass in, instead of allocating and returning new structures.

Why not have a simple `class` construct as in JavaScript? Keeping functions together in a class is very convenient and means you don't have to pass the struct as the first argument each time. That way `Array` can be a class, and would always be passed by reference. No ambiguity there, class instances are always mutable. Everyone is already familiar with it, it works.

A class method can simply map to a global C function:
```
ClassName_MethodName(*self, ...)
```

As an aside, using a syntax that people are already familiar with (and APIs!) would be great, and make something like this instantly usable. JavaScript has a fairly small core API which would be easy to emulate for example.
