Combustion- and friction-derived magnetic air pollution nanoparticles in human hearts
Yeah, I was thinking this was some programming language I had never heard of. I was expecting a deep dive of compiler internals.
I don't see how what you described has anything to do with Bird. It could be any scooter, or any random object that's falling out of a pick up truck. Running over things in general is going to be bad for your vehicle.

That's not really relevant. Who pays premiums is separate from how the structure works. USA has various welfare programs for the needy, with wide support. Social Security is one of the largest and most popular items in the Federal budget.
I agree. Rather than rainbow the brackets I think a better solution is to highlight the matching brackets with a temporarily different color as user moves the cursor.

Or at least make it easy to turn the rainbows on and off.
Windows 10 has a "this is a metered connection" option that might help in that situation. I use it when tethering my work laptop to my phone, and it seems to prevent that sort of abuse.
Because E < (T2-T1)/T2

To get energy from heat, you need a hot end and a cold end. The more difference between the two, the more energy you can extract. Extracting energy from small temperature differences is very inefficient. Temperature is measured from absolute zero for this.
the user data might not belong to them (GDPR etc), but I agree the certainly don't have to serve it to any other 3rd party business if they don't want to.
Do it. I'd be interested.
same here. like coming home but someone has moved things around in a way thats subtle enough its not obvious but enough to make it feel unfamiliar

Well, it's been established by PGP being deployed that the web of trust did not work well at all. So that option is out.
If you're trying to run a non-conformat application that you are unable or unwilling to modify, then yes. It is a good thing.
I saw them used in the winter. I still see them used all the time in the dead of summer, in Austin.

They mostly replace walking, which people do year-round, throughout the day, and well into the late night. At least this is true in my neighborhood.
Maybe I'm not the intended audience, but I had to look up the acronym WAF since it came up a lot in this article. I'm assuming it's "web application firewall"?
I hope that Amazon forces the US Government to renew the contract at a 1000% markup. Don't like it? Too bad, single source, good luck with your migration, we've already amortized the equipment. Oh, you only have X months to migrate before we stop patching security vulnerabilities? Well, you better get to migrating quickly!

Whoever thought this was a good idea, shame on them.
it's certainly better to keep violent crazy people off the streets. i would like them to be in a treatment facility, where they have the opportunity to be helped and can be let back out as healthy members of society. that doesn't exist. so, yeah, they shouldn't just be out and about harassing everyone else, right?
no, NSA backdoors are of course ok, they are the good guys

Is that such a problematic thing?
Yeah worst case scenario Gnome will be better off with some adaptive UI work.
Their net income swing is almost entirely attributable to a ~1 billion change in investment returns. Their operating income only fell 20%, because they had 8% increase in operating expenses without a commensurate increase in revenue.

It's actually all laid out in your link.
> but it seems a lot harder to use

I actually feel the exact opposite - it's easier to use than Photoshop - but that's probably because I used GIMP before I ever had access to Photoshop.

100% agree about Inkscape, though.
WWII also motivated universal health care (NHS) in the UK.

How does this make sense, though?

> "The war economy is an entirely different ballgame," Thomasson says. The government rationed goods even as factories ramped up production and needed to attract workers. Factory owners needed a way to lure employees. She explains that the owners turned to fringe benefits, offering more and more generous health plans.

Why is a healthy plan better for employers than paying cash and letting employees buy their own health care / insurance?

The 1943 IRS ruling that health insurance is tax free, and the legislature failing to correct that, is more of a problem. This blatant failure isn't an "accident", it's bad lawmaking that biases toward business, against people.
Any info on the future for PIK, is it on track to be assimilated into JPEG XL or will it remain a separate project ?
Exactly! Our local police departments have SWAT teams like a "town" the size of Olathe, Kansas needs one but we can't afford a team of sysadmins...
Fair enough should probably have used the mild climate term used in the wikipedia article to avoid confusing to climate zones.
Why wouldn't they just charge for API use?
They started (somewhat illicitly) in certain smaller areas (museum row, Koreatown, etc), but they've now expanded to near everywhere during the formal LA trial period allowed by the city council.

I doubt the raw number of scooters changed all that much, so it's probably just a density problem as they've spread them throughout the city more.
> Right now insurance either do cover something or they don't.

That's vastly oversimplifying. Insurance often covers part of something.
Dang, you're a treasure.
"Rebates" were a major element of anti-trust concerns against Standard Oil, in 1911:

They remain a massive concern with monopolies today.
From these links -- revenues of $7.2b in 2015, $8.9b in 2018; money inflow sure isn't pinched.
Suggesting people are simply born that way implicitly suggests that there is nothing whatsoever to do about it. "You lost in the genetic lottery. Sucks to be you."

I'm saying it's vastly more complicated than that and it's a serious problem to frame the problem that way because it leads to a mentality of "Just lock them up or ship them out for the good of other people." This tends to deepen the problem.

There are things that help. I know a lot about such things. I sometimes try to blog about such.
It depends on the software (and associated hardware if you're talking about graphics) of course, but between wine (and its extensions like proton that are successfully handling many AAA games old and new), qemu, and virtualbox, the need for actually having to dual boot from Linux or have a dedicated Windows box grows less and less each year.
When someone has an illness that affects their brain you're saying they should both be aware of the illness and then seek help for the illness? They should use the logic and reasoning capabilities of said brain, with an illness, to achieve this.

Think about what you're saying. Really think about it. Your broken leg comparison completely misses the mark. How about this scenario?

You are walking and step into the street. You are hit by a bus but survive. You have massive head trauma. At this point nobody else should administer care without first speaking with you and having you acknowledge that you need care. You need to then respond in a coherent manner that explicitly allows you to be cared for before anyone is legally allowed to help you. How do you think that is going to work out for you?

Definitely, both benefit -- if there was no benefit to the rider, it'd have long since failed.

Hermes: A JavaScript engine optimized for mobile apps starting with React Native
It is curious. I am quite young still, but I can already observe myself thinking: “These youngsters shouldn’t do this — it is way to dangerous”

And then I realize, the things I did when I was young were way, way wilder than the things I complain about. And then I shut up, let them be and try to be there and speak the sage words when they need them and no second before.

I am not sure who treats the next generation worse:

- the kids who went through the real shit

- the kids who had a wild youth

- the kids who never did anything out of fear
Pretty sure that is not possible because if this contract is anything like the previous 2 that AWS has won, they will literally be building entire airgapped datacenters for the government full of their custom server designs running all of their custom cloud software. You're not going to be able to just uninstall dynamodb, EBS, or S3 from the datacenter servers and expect to be able to spin up one of Azures or GCPs matching service using the same hardware.
I don't understand how that equals "good support".

Statism, the replacement of religion by the state. Also, some people have a character flaw in that they want to control other people and they genuinely believe they know what is in everyone else's best interest. Armed with that mindset, any number of atrocious acts are possible.
Absolutely agree about an external monitoring service being a necessity. I was more referring to cloudflare.com (and specifically dash.cloudflare.com) being entirely served through Cloudflare itself, or the AWS console being hosted on AWS, etc.
The "Development release" of Factor is the best version to use. I'll see about releasing point versions more often.
You can edit it, but your edit will be quickly reverted.
I both agree and disagree. From a purely financial standpoint, this was almost assuredly a bad deal for the Mets over the course of the payments.

That said, the whole point of owning a sports franchise is to get to and win a championship, so in that sense, yes, this was almost definitely worth it. Also, I don't know the economics for baseball in 2000, but I know that in the NBA, each home playoff game is generally considered worth several million dollars, so if Bonilla buyout for Hampton was causal to reaching the WS, they may have made the money back in 2000 alone.

Plus, there's the whole "Bobby Bonilla seemed like he was a gigantic pain to the organization" aspect.
Aw, that's not nice. It was obviously just a slip and they corrected it. I'm sure you were just briefly frustrated about not being able to read the article, but still.

Fair point. We don't allow horses on the freeways though. I'm fine with a horse in part because I can outrun in if I need to (that is get out of the way in time, if the horse is actively trying to kill me it wins of course). A car with a top speed of 15mph isn't very dangerous, I'd love to have the speed limit around my house set to that speed. Right now nobody would agree to that, but if self driving cars are allowed to go faster we might for the few with human drivers.
Good. Could not have happened soon enough.
When a big company explains away how they are not doing something because of engineering resource constraints, put your skeptic's hat on, it's likely an exaggeration.
That new market you are talking about was opened centuries ago by a cool little thing called the bicycle.
Changed one word to resolve.
As others have said, you can't use ambient outdoor heat to power air conditioning, because of thermodynamics.

It's possible to use solar heating to directly power indoor cooling, without converting to electricity as an intermediate step. My rough understanding is that this is potentially more efficient, but it adds mechanical complexity and loses flexibility (since it only really works in direct sunlight). And it's probably becoming less cost-effective in comparison as PV prices continue to drop.
Probably in every place that is not the European Union which mandates 2 year warranties. Rest of the world iirc is 1-year.
The one on SM Blvd & Bundy?

I lived in SM City for a few years and I'll echo this poster. The bums were pretty bad, last time I went back, they had gotten worse somehow. Maybe it's that the traffic has gotten worse too and that bleeds into the bums as well.

Though there are MANY good reasons that the homeless population is the way that it is, the fact remains that the bums on the street are horrific for everyone. It is very very hard to find compassion for the homeless after you get doused in pee, again, by the lunatics. For real.
Yeah I'm renting a house in central NC and May-September our power bill skyrockets from AC. The windows are not insulated at all and we have a lot of them. Even the floors, walls, and ceilings leak heat like crazy, you can feel it just putting your hand close to the wall or ceiling. We run AC to get it down to 76F and it's still crazy expensive and using a lot of unnecessary power. We need to encourage insulation, especially of windows. My parents had a lot of big windows too and recently have started upgrading them to insulated windows and it makes a huge difference. The US needs to heavily encourage these sorts of improvements to buildings, it's good for everyone.
Look closely at the questions those surveys are asking. "Where were you living at the time you most recently became homeless" isn't the right question as there are temporary housing options (crashing with a friend, living in a vehicle) under which many do not consider themselves homeless.

From your own link, only 25% were born / grew up in King county.
The point I'm trying to make is that the desktop will continue to lose relevance, while web based apps become prevalent. To a point where it's not "this doesn't run on Linux" but rather "I'll use whatever is in reach" (since all you need is Chrome), which as of now happens to be Windows mostly. So it's shifting from Linux being unable to serve your needs to it simply not being the default, or not being what people are used to. Which is something that shouldn't be underestimated when trying to predict how things are going to play out in the long run.

Obviously there's gonna be special software in certain fields that's going to be around for quite a while, like the pharma example from this other reply, but even there the point was rather that upgrading from the XP version is too expensive....

And ultimately the question is at which point maintaining or even improving Windows becomes economically unfeasible. With Windows 10 being "the final Windows" there was already a big shift in paradigm. Microsoft is very busy expanding in the cloud/SaaS business, so it's not like they don't see how Windows might lose relevance over time. This in turn sends signals to software vendors who still make software that requires desktop machines.
Unbranded builds do not auto-update, and Firefox Developer Edition is based on Firefox Beta, so it can be less stable than the release build.
This is a massive oversimplification -- if everyone voted purely to protect their financial interests, "voter-approved tax increases" wouldn't exist.
Amazon and Microsoft Face Off in Bid to Provide Cloud Services to U.S. Military
Underwhelming, this just proxies the request through an external web server that handles it.

It would be interesting to see something using WASM to run a web server in the browser. And some kind of decentralized replacement of DNS gateways for host resolution.
Something about that really aggravated me, looking into bitwarden - worst case I'll save some money.
I live in a suburban area, and want a scooter in just two locations - one: next to the oil change/car repair and tire change places - where I’m going to be without a car for a number of hours. Two: close to the bars, so I can bar hop without the long walk or expense of an Uber...

Bird does a good job with the second, but seems to neglect the auto service locations. They seem to park their scooters next to the bus stops, which, if this were San Francisco, might make sense, but here, only poor people ride the bus and they’re unlikely to pay for a scooter. Now, they could offer geofenced price reductions for rides originating around these bus stops and increase utilization, but their current pricing prevents the poor from using the service.
A massive portion of medical expenses presently paid for by insurance are predictable costs that the insured knew going into the year.

You can find affordable car insurance because your actual payout from your insurer is very likely zero this year.

If your actual payout this year is certainly 10-100k this year depending on what actually goes wrong this year how on earth do you affordably insure that individual. Remember also that sickness stunts family income.

Insurance only makes sense for large hard to predict expenses.
Always enjoy reading these updates. It's refreshing for a company to explain their progress in this kind of technical detail, another bonus of a free/open source product. Congrats to the Purism team for the progress, looking forward to seeing the new Linux phone.
I'm very disappointed that although using Studies (Normandy) is briefly mentioned, it is treated as just an unusual option rather than a breach of policy. I was really hoping for an explanation of why they felt they could break their promise to users that Studies would only ever be used for, well, studies.

* All Shield Studies must be designed to answer a specific question - Shield is a tool for evaluating ideas and features in the product. If you are not trying to evaluate a proposed feature or idea there are other means of shipping your code.
Shield studies will always respect user privacy in accordance with our data collection policies

* All Shield studies will adhere to the scientific method for answering complex questions - Generate a hypothesis, test, collect and analyze data, validate or refute hypothesis, refine, repeat..

* All Shield studies require a PHD (Product Hypothesis Doc) - A PHD or Product Hypothesis Doc outlines the overarching research question the study is trying to answer. It requires the study author to think critically about the problem and the outcomes long before the study ships.

These guidelines (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Shield/Shield_Studies#Guidi...) were created after the beach of trust represented by the Mr Robot cross-promotion as a means to restore confidence. Yet now they have been ignored, and again "Studies" has been used as a convenient backdoor.
Don't forget trade exceptions, luxury taxes, unlikely incentives, waivers, stretch provisions... This would actually be entertaining to model out , at least to... the small handful of people whose interests collide in the Venn Diagram of tech and NBA salary cap nonsense.
>If a company offers insurance for $120, the company benefits by making $20 * 1000 and the individuals benefit by removing variance from their life.

More like they offer you the insurance for $99.99 and make money by having $99.99 * num_customers sized chunk of money to play with (i.e. invest into things). But yeah, your general comment is correct.
I don't understand how people can say the support is good if it does not address mental illness nor substance misuse.

That's not good support, it's hopelessly inadequate.
You have to have a temperature delta to make this work. (Thermodynamics 101.) A ground source heat pump is one way to do that: In Texas in the summer, a few meters underground is always cooler than the air.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_heat_pump
I would say calling an ODE solver is pretty fundamental to a lot of real scientific workflows, but I am pretty biased on that.
I hate it when they list battery prices this way, it's very misleading.

Misleading to some, flat-out useless to others. The replacement cost of the 24KWh battery in our Nissan Leaf is about $5K. So I'll take two of those $187 MWh batteries, please.

Oh, of course they're not speaking the same language as I am with that kind of price difference. But then I guess I don't know what in the hell they're talking about if not XWh of energy storage.
Once you do that, you can then run a thermal generator on the resulting temperature differential, to generate even more energy, and now you've created a perpetual motion machine, oops.

(without an existing cool place to dump heat, you can't generate energy, otherwise you could just extract heat from everything everywhere and cool it all down to absolute zero, solving both the energy problem and global warming with a single stroke)
If the battery storage is directly connected to the DC side of a solar farm, that's one charging opportunity per day. If it's just hooked into the grid, two charging opportunities per day would be more typical in California. Wind power output tends to be highest at night after the daily demand peak is already past.

http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.aspx

Look at yesterday (11 July 2019) on the renewables trend graph, for example.

Wind reaches its daily minimum around noon, while solar is peaking. Wind's maximum output is at 10:00 PM, long after the sun has set and after the demand peak has passed.
That works - to a price point. There's a threshold where the described behavior is overcome. I'm sure there's a marketing term for it (I don't know it) but the OP is not off-basis.

If some new company with deep enough pockets starts promising No Unlock Fee and $0.15/min, they could quickly capture a lot of Bird, Lime, etc's market share. They'd be burning cash at an unsustainable rate, but there is no moat between these businesses at the moment.
If you’re comfortable with FOSS solutions and the certainty of someone taking over (or not), then Bitwarden cannot be regarded as a poor solution. It also has forked implementations in some more languages and tech stacks. Any of these, including mainline, can be self-hosted for those who wish to.

This is not to imply that your preference for a larger team is invalid, but I don’t think Bitwarden and its clones are going away anytime soon.

I don't know. I've long argued possession of data should never be a crime, even if the data contains evidence of crimes including crimes committed on human children.

To say a Microsoft employee who sees medical data is committing a crime would probably make me a hypocrite.

I think there should be some accountability but that should be at the top of an organization, not (just) the foot soldiers.
Interest rate in India has been largely in the 8-9% in the last 15 years. I hear it was in the double digits in the early 90s.
Houston might end up with a significant advantage in the cost of living in the low carbon future, because our economy is based on oil and there won't be nearly as many jobs here anymore.

That's just not true under any possible light you want to look at the issue.
