We are analyzing accidents that killed hundreds of people and most people are skeptical of Boeing and the FAA for the engineering and certification decisions they took. Saying "I don't know but surely better informed people were ok with this so it's fine" is well below most people's burden of proof.

The mean absorbance for the red cones was higher from about 400nm to about 430nm than it was for the green cones in at least one published paper.[1]

For some reason that's not clear to me, the graph below the data table doesn't extend the red cone curve far enough to the left to illustrate the hump.

Not on RGB screens. If I take a color picker to the page's image of a color spectrum, said to contain pure violet, it is still a mix of red and blue.

I admit that it is odd that the left end of the spectrum seems to have color from the right end. It's as if the spectrum wraps around, in our mind's eye at least.
> Can you honestly say that Google will support Chrome OS for the next 10 years? Personally I doubt it.

I think yes it will be supported because Google is trying very hard to diversify its revenue streams and Chrome OS actually makes money and is still growing quickly.

Note that Chrome OS is an entirely separate PA (product area) from Hardware.

There are limits to how much you can do this.

For river health, you need to maintain roughly even outflows. Too much release results in flooding, and too little will dry up the river. But even outside of those extremes, you can have issues where high outflows inundate levies, followed by reduced outflows that lower the river, causing the soaked levies to collapse into the river. There are also fishery-health issues to consider.

How much of an issue this is depends on what the situation is downstream; some damns have afterbays that can moderate these changes quite well, while others do not and are less able to rapidly change outflows like this.

Basically, you might need to do some significant upgrades before you can use your hydro 'on demand' like this.
This is a rather misleading title, the article is about a single company (Idaho Power), not the state of Idaho.

The state still gets ~33% of its electricity from out of state, mostly from coal plants. In terms of overall energy, the state uses more than 3 times as much energy from fossil fuels as it generates from hydro, by the looks of it more natural gas based energy is used for heating than hydro is used for power. Unless my math is off the solar plant is question represents 0.077% of the states energy usage.

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

You're right, and I don't intend to condemn all of async, or even QDI for that matter :) I am doing my PhD on it, so I do think there is promise. I just think that arithmetic is better handled by Bundled-data specifically. Let QDI do the control leg-work and tack high-performance arithmetic to it.

Also, Gasp is certainly faster, but is limited to simple pipelines. That's why I like QDI, it lets me make weird circuits.

EDIT: Sorry, I got mixed up between the conversation threads... dislexia is a thing.

I'm not saying condemn async or QDI, but we must recognize what it is good at and what it is not. A QDI pipeline stage may be slower, yes. So don't use it if you just want to implement a linear pipeline. But do use it if you have a complex network because of the previously mentioned benefits. Gasp and other async pipeline topologies don't have the flexibility of QDI, and there isn't really a good framework to mix them with QDI techniques at the moment (maybe relative timing?). The power of async comes from this flexibility and the ability to avoid unnecessary computation.
> The FINAL straw was falling in love with a PixelBook that I bought during the Black Friday sales, as I moved into a role in an org that was 1) deeply invested in G Suite and 2) allowed me to do all my work from the browser - making the Chrome OS concept finally fit for me. THEN Google closes that part of their hardware division.

FWIW Chrome OS is a separate PA (product area) than Hardware so Hardware closing whatever division likely has very little impact on the support for your Pixelbook.

I am also sad about that though as I really like the Pixelbook =[

It's possible that you are limited to lower resolution. Can you confirm whether you can get any of the 4k streams?
Worse still, if this offers an enhanced interface or "unwanted" options over YouTube, it's likely the extension itself may well not make it into the store. To make matters worse is side-loading of extensions is pretty much a non-starter for Chrome now that dev-mode is a nag screen on each start (at least last time I used it).

I had a couple side loaded extensions, and the nag got me to do what google wanted, stop using them altogether.
Strongly disagree.

First of all, Adorama is selling merchant fulfilled, not FBA. So commingling is irrelevant here.

Second, it's unlikely the Adorama order is what caused the issue, being as it wasn't even FBA. My guess is it's a different order that caused the issue, they haven't identified it properly, and that's why they're getting rejected.

> "...it doesn't explain why domestic mass surveillance should be ruled out."

It's a matter of who we have a responsibility towards.

The government we elect in our own country is responsible to us, and as a people we widely do not want our government spying on us. (This is true in most if not all countries.)

But that same government is NOT responsible to the citizens of other nations. The CIA has no responsibility towards Canadians (like myself) or anyone else who isn't American.

I'm not arguing that this is ethically right. I'm just saying it's pragmatic.

If you're not a citizen of my country, my country has no legal obligations to you outside of international law. And no country, to my knowledge, has ever tried to introduce the right to privacy into international law. Every country hates spies within its own borders, but seeks to have them inside of everyone else's.
They do still exist though, and they are a subsidiary of Verizon. So is Verizon responsible even though nobody at Verizon had anything to do with it? Does the person who redistributed the data have any responsibility?
I think there's a super important distinction here between hardware and platforms/software. The GP was annoyed that they bought a PixelBook before Google killed their hardware division. If I bought a Dell XPS laptop to run Windows, and Dell announced the next day they were discontinuing their XPS line, I wouldn't regret my purchase. Dell's decision doesn't change either the utility of my current hardware or the overall Windows ecosystem.

Regardless of whether or not Chrome OS is here to stay—I very much think it is, personally—Google closing their hardware division doesn't tell us much about Chrome OS's future. Only a tiny fraction of Chrome OS hardware comes from Google itself.

I think you get that kind of potential to get stuck on inconsequential details in any design. It happens in video game design of course, but also board game design, and graphic design, and software design in general, among many other fields. Most general design guides encourage iteration and refinement, and when it comes to game design specifically that comes across as the push for frequent prototypes and playtests so you can refine the mechanics. (In the software world it often comes across as the "minimum viable product" concept.) I think people who get stuck on details in ways like you mentioned are people who never learned this, whether self taught or formally educated, or they're forgetting those tenets of design.
In this case it was not a coding error so much as the undocumented code. The code expected that the binary coding of sex would switch when training classifiers on males and females separately. My colleague left it the same, and so results were switched from what they should be.

Let's assume you're correct, and that the more-or-less logarithmic aspect to human vision is inconsequential here, and also that the hump in absorption around 410nm by the red cones is also irrelevant. How would you explain the human perception of violet light as a purple colour, then?

New C# 8 Features in Visual Studio 2019
Forget putting AAA games on it, imagine a massively improved version of the flash games that were popular a decade ago.

I wouldn't be so confident about AAA games being a barrier. I guess AAA games emphasizing "realism" might always have a high-end PC niche, since the genre could always ramp up graphics to the point of un-streamability. I could also totally imagine, let's say, Nintendo, going whole-hog into streaming games with cartoony graphics, emphasizing multiplayer with friends. I don't see any reason why the industry couldn't target and achieve something like 30 ms round trip latency. So long as the gameplay is good, the potential audience for 1080P gaming with even last generation level graphics is huge.

To think they would be limited to the level of flash games is hugely naive.

The W3C, Google, Apple and MS and the TV manufacturers could have said "OK then, keep your content to yourself, let's see how your business does without us providing ways to deliver your crippled content to the eyes and ears of your customers."

Another 'fun' thing to go through is the naming of the various elements, and some of the elements that were named, but turned out to be other elements already (Canadium, for example).

SmartNICs Are Complicated, So Intel Pitches NICs That Are Smart Enough
Tech leaders really seem to love the idea that they have two "castes" of employee:

1) experienced "culture fit" employees who need big salaries and deliver big value. These people build your product. They are "R&D".

2) interchangeable "human robots" who have no skills that a billion other people don't have, who are a "cost center" and their per-hour cost and number should be driven as low as possible, so the company can flex its "unit costs" while still spending $30/week on Kind Bars for their React Programmer.

I think it's both bad business and a sick demonstration of Supremacism. But holy crap it's like every tech company thinks this way.

Amazon is at least up front with Mechanical Turk that this is not a real job, it's something you do from a third world country if you have the opportunity. But many companies seem to think they should use this concept within their San Francisco office.

Hopefully yes, but we don't know how much instability there is. If you assume the answer there's no point having the discussion.

Disabling the system is a possibility, but then they have to train all pilots to fly the plane without that system. Of course there is no training program in place, it would only take a few months to design it, then a few more to get the program certified as enough, then a few more months to teach the trainers how to teach it, then teach the pilots... It is much faster to fix the system once and for all.
> "the government can't really be on your team"

That's kind of the root problem of democracy, isn't it? If a government truly is "of the people, by the people, for the people", then they are by definition on their people's team, and their people should trust them.

But, if they can't in fact be on your team, and if you can't trust them, then you can't really have a democracy, can you? You end up with something else, something that looks like democracy but really isn't.
