The limit of information density is known as the Bekenstein bound.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekenstein_bound

It is derived through quantum mechanics and via the Plank constants and black hole physics.

Basically any more information squeezed together would turn into a black hole.

Though ordinary (non quantum) thermodynamics limits information density well before this bound.

As to what happens in the next decades with the good old Silicon stuff. Well, nobody knows just yet, but 3nm is what anyone realistically talks about, and just sci-fi tech after that.
There is one part of the anti-advertising rhetoric which has to do with the fact that we spend so much time online and advertising is very visible there - after all Google, an advertising company, is the largest and most important internet company. That's unfortunate of course. There is another part though that is not just fed up with advertising, but comes from a certain trends towards protecting "my safe space". It's more prominent in the latest generations and it's a knee-jerk reaction to anything that might spread speech that is not explicitly desired (not just acceptable). It's the same aversion that sometimes makes people intolerant to their neighbors who don't share their own views. I think the article similarly slid quickly from advertising to all forms of manipulation, forgetting that paid advertising (pamphlets) is what enabled a number of positive revolutions in societies, from martin luther to french revolution to the bolsheviks.
But if your emitter emits in every direction (like a lightbulb) and you only catch the ones going in one direction in the sail, you'd propel yourself in that direction.

So having a directional lightsource fire into the sail wouldn't work, but having one that emits light in every direction on one side of the sail would.
You would need to pay for such an ad-free internet in some way, other than being an ad target. This is a critical point of you expect the variety and quality of this ad-free internet to approach what we have now.
You missed the message in my comment. Soda don't have to be too sweet either.
This design does not permit metaprogramming.
This isn't really like WaitForMultipleObjects; WFMO is more like epoll with a whole lot more restrictions.

This legit isnt really like anything in Windows, the closest thing I can think of is you'd be able to do something like this with XOK wake predicates.
I wonder what the absolute limit would be. Could you buy something for like 1 Billion?
If you have to tell people they need something then they don't need it. Escape rooms are an entertainment luxury. When there is essential work that needs to be done (infrastructure, healthcare, education, &c.), it makes sense that it takes psychological manipulation to convince people that what they really need to do with their time and effort is temporary entertainment. If you want more customers, provide something that people find more necessary, like childcare.
They are in a low earth orbit and there is still considerable atmospheric drag in the region. This causes the satellite to deorbit.

This was a technology demonstrator and it has completed its mission successfully. It simply wasn't launched to an orbit where it can do more (Cubesats hitch rides on rockets launching larger, expensive payloads)

NASA does have a mission intended to navigate quite a bit more using a solar sailing cubesat.

https://www.nasa.gov/content/nea-scout

I'm not sure to what extent the mission will rely on the solar sail though.
Oh, I see what you mean. Pretty sure it had a date and time on it, so it could not have been used for more than a day, if that.

Yes, kind of my bad with the bottle, but it was half empty and was like 50 cents anyway.

You could limit collecting fines by card I guess, the payment would go to the authorities.

Just seems like such small infractions aren't worth the stress, there's operations raking in millions tax free that could be worked on.

Yes, when I got my bike stolen - in broad daylight, in front of a public place - the response was pretty much "sucks to be you, good luck with the next one, we can take report if you want but don't expect anything happening because it never does".

Sounds like they are doing something similar:

Hey Manish! Congratulations to you and your team on the round! It's a phenomenal achievement.

You mentioned transactions... I work for MongoDB so I just wanted to add that MongoDB does have ACID transactions since version 4.0. Distributed transactions will be included in the upcoming 4.2 release. There's more info on distributed transactions in the 4.2 release here if you're interested: https://docs.mongodb.com/master/core/transactions/

By the way, it's awesome to see you're using Go. I just got into it recently and it's such a nice language to work with.
An electric fan on a derby car works the same way a propeller does though right? You don’t need the sail at all. It works by pushing against the surrounding medium. This seems different than a laser in a vacuum.
"We" don't. You're not the customer, the credit providing company is. And they use it because there hasn't historically been a better alternative.
Thanks,
Have you done any testing on the effect of something like leaving persistent logging on vs off. I know that writes to the state partition which is not read only.

Is there a way to push device logs to another service to keep track of them long term?

How did you come up with the pricing model of essentials vs micro-services?
If someone from a foreign country, say Norway, contacts you about wanting your help to get a job, do you also help those candidates through the process of getting a green card?

If so, awesome! If not, that’s an idea for possible improvement right there :)
This seems to have tremendous potential. I like the conscious effort to de-bias the system away from initial indicators (like school, GPA, etc.). Thank you for doing this!

Question -- is there the possibility of an income-share model here? i.e. Hatchways does due diligence in initial assessment + matching and even pays for the candidate's internship at the company, and makes money only when the candidate gets a full-time offer as a pre-agreed upon percentage of the candidate's salary (for the first N months say).
Right. Feathers and bones don't digest well.
That's what I'm talking about. A handheld fan[1] is on the pinewood derby car, same as the sail. I built one before so I know it works.

[1] https://www.amazon.com/Aluan-Handheld-Portable-Adjustable-Re...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer has many examples. For example, mechanical computers used to be used for fire control on naval vessels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwf5mAlI7Ug

> State and the Federal governments. The USG isn't the only governmental body in the USA. All are essentially blocked from negotiations by Federal law/policy.

Why should the government "negotiate" prices that it's not paying? The prices are negotiated by the insurers who actually pay them, and they have far greater incentive than the government to keep them down.

This system appears to work in the vast majority of OECD countries, where drug prices are not actually set by a central authority (contrary to popular misconception).
I'd say provide both models but be light on ads. If people are going to use adblock, you can't stop them and they'd never click on ads anyway. If people aren't using adblock then treat them with respect like most of the modern web isn't. Put focus on making your premium experience better because these are obviously your most loyal customers.
Come over here, please. :)
Perhaps I'm being a dunce right now, but doesn't the fan exert a force on the car opposite the direction of flow, and wouldn't that force necessarily be greater than the force of capturing the same flow in a sail?

Also, why not just use the fan or laser or led as the means of propulsion directly?
No. Think of the photons as producing little pushes. When they are emitted by the LED, they produce a little push in one direction, and then the sail pushes a little bit back in the other direction.

If it were possible to create a significant volume of thrust from photons emitted by LEDs, then you would be better off just pointing the LEDs away from where you wanted to go (like a rocket).
so you are complaining that sonic uses google captcha, and google captcha did not work for you today? lol.
What makes the current system suboptimal? I mean, the markets are Dutch auctions, which penalize overvaluation. Compared to my youth, I'm definitely exposed to far less advertizing.
Well to be fair there is a fixed allocation of money, so if anybody that filled it out earlier wants to actually get a check they have to limit it. Either that, or everybody gets a check for a few cents. Which is worse really?

It’s the same as when you go to a baseball game and they have a giveaway for the first 10,000 fans. There is a limit to the offer and being early matters.
The whole idea of insurance is amortization of rare costly events over large numbers of people. Ideally, each person's insurance cost is equal to the expected value of the payout.
The tokenization of securities is happening and no one is noticing
Planes can then fire anti radiation missiles that home in on the radar emissions source

It’s worse than that (for the defender). Missiles can loiter and wait, if the emitter is switched off, then strike when it switches back on again.
Sure, but (1) roads benefit everyone, while rail benefits wealthier people disproportionately; and (2) rail is subsidized much more heavily per passenger mile than driving.

You often hear that we spend much more on roads than rail, which is true, but we drive much much more than we take the train. For example, the D.C. metro receives about a $0.42 per passenger mile subsidy: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/not-a-dime-more-for-.... Meanwhile, state and local governments spend $155 billion on roads, about half of which is paid for by usage fees (tolls and gas tax). Given the 3 trillion miles driven on roads every year, that works out to just $0.024 per passenger mile of subsidy: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/pressroom/fhwa1704.cfm.

The cleaning lady who drives 10 miles to work costs the government $0.24 for each trip. When a white collar worker takes Metro 10 miles to work,[1] it costs the government $4.20.

[1] The median Metro rider has a household income of over $100,000 and 80% have a college degree. That's because the people who take Metro can afford to buy expensive housing near a Metro station, and go to white collar jobs downtown. The cleaning lady, and other lower income workers, can't afford to live near a Metro station, and many work the 90% of jobs in the metro area that aren't downtown.
Hey Jaclyn, glad to hear you're tackling this space - one that I'm passionate about. Congrats on the launch!

"As a new grad without relevant work experience, or as a career shifter without a relevant degree, getting a first job is very painful" - Absolutely true.

I've spent a good chunk of the past few months mentoring a cousin to help him get his first job in Tech. He studied computer science, has a great GPA, can actually build stuff, but went to a not so well known college in California and didn't have any top tech company internships under his belt.

Very few companies responded to his applications (< 1% positive response) and he really had to hustle his way to get noticed (cold emails, milking his and my personal network for introductions to engineering managers, etc).

Companies like TripleByte seem to have shifted more towards the senior software engineer category, so I see tremendous value in targeting entry-level positions.

Questions:
How do you plan to effectively source candidates that are able to pass your assessment? I think an interesting starting point would be to work with graduates of not well-known computer science programs. I think people generally under-estimate the difficulty of getting foot in the door at reputed Tech companies, when you didn't study at a top 10 CS program, and they would probably be the closest group, on average, to passing your technical assessment.

In my conversations with fast-growing companies in the Bay, I got the sense that the demand for senior software engineers far outstrips demand for entry-level / internship positions. Have you noticed the same trend, and as a result are you working mostly with already established larger companies?

Congrats again. Always happy to see more people tackle this problem. We need to create a more accessible, meritocratic pathway to work in Tech.
How about small claim court then?
Has the word opinionated become a meme recently? It seems to be everywhere these days.
About the only technology that has ever improved "exponentially" for any amount of time is CPUs.

I kind of get your point, but couldn't you have said "the technology is going to improve" instead?
Current density is ~100M (1E8) transistors/mm^2, Assuming transistors with a side of ~10 atoms (and bond length 0.5nm) that means we could get ~4E12 transistors/mm^2. This is almost certainly over optimistic but still it shows that we are orders of magnitude away from limits due to "atomic nature" of matter.
> - if your unsubscribe link doesn't unsubscribe immediately, then you are spam, and will be marked and treated as such.

I just never use unsubscribe links period. If I don't want something (and it's basically never anything I actually signed up for like a news letter or mailing list) I just have it dumped to the trash or a spam folder. I never see them anymore and it no longer impacts me and as an added bonus it consumes resources for the companies who spam my inbox. Why bother with an unsubscribe attempt at all?
If I understand the article correctly, house cats are considered an invasive species in Australia.
You're asking why general knowledge of generics and the pros and cons of various implementations would give you better understanding into the specific trade offs made by Go's implementation? You can't imagine why?
Okay, I am not more sure you are kidding but to be fair to me, I had no context for your joking ways before.
You could never remove advertising without silencing companies. Let that sink in. As long as companies exist and have tools to reach out, even if it was a free Facebook post, they're always going to do that.
Advertising is not information. If i like invite rooms I can search for <myplace> in best escape rooms.com and find what other people are saying on this forum. Has worked before, can work. Hosting prices for those can be low.
This already happens, health insurance plans and employers give rebates in exchange for proof of gym visits/daily steps/gym membership.
No, the two forces don't cancel out, I can't remember exactly why but elastic collisions don't work like that. That's why you can point a fan into your sailboat's sail and it will still go forward, mythbusters proved it.
Analog computers predate digital ones. Technically even slide-rules are computers!
What is the visa situation? The only thing stopping me from doing something like that is that I dislike the idea of border hopping every 3/6 months and I am definitely not going to go through the hassle of obtaining permanent residency in such a country.
I don't know whether the Intel foundry accepts outside customers and to what extent the outside customers have influence on Intel, but TSMC benefits from being single mindedly focused on chip fabrication and has the support of a wide array of customers, financially and technically. Apple, Nvida, AMD, Qualcom, Micron, most of the phone manufacturers, and any other chip consumers all give orders to TSMC. All these pour money, design and production requirement into TSMC. TSMC simply is more focused with the resource they have, while Intel is being distracted with other things.
Can someone more familiar with orbital mechanics help me understand why it looks like the perigree is coming down in opposite to the apogee?

I'm but a mere KSP player, but I've always thought the perigee comes down in a fairly linear fashion based on drag, which is mostly a function of altitude - I would assume they'd be using the sail to just "burn prograde" whenever the solar angle is possible, raising both the apogee and the perigee, but the apogee coming up way faster?
Thats my point. They should just bite the bullet and implement WaitForMultipleObjects instead of having all these disjoint APIs. Plus sometimes you want to wait for both and this is very difficult with Linux.

Its also telling Linux has gone through the whole select/poll/epoll madness while WaitForMultipleObjects has worked well in windows NT since the 90s. Its a proven design.
Exactly. I've done it before (for fly tipping, auto parts, discarded home appliances). They will take care of it, eventually. Or someone else will grab the stuff. Either way, not really your problem. If you get the bike, just repaint it and keep it I guess.
Surely the FTC and Equifax saw this coming? 150m people were included in the breach. Only 31m USD was allocated to give anyone who claimed 125 USD? How on earth did they do this math?
National forests are usually like you described, but most national parks have camping areas with toilets and bear lines available at popular backcountry locations. Most national parks also allow dispersed camping, but not all - Rainier for example requires reservations for a particular campsite.
Yes. Why?

Universities are not job training and professors are not your primary school teacher. They are serious academics whose writings and work can have global, multi-generational impacts. If you can’t go toe to toe with them and tell them why they might be full of shit, you’re just taking up valuable space and should go find an appropriate trade school for the low-responsibility lifestyle you actually want to lead.
That just means the $31 million cap was ridiculously low.
AMD was actually briefly ahead twice before, once in early Athlon times and a few years later with the first AMD64 ("x86-64" or as Intel called it "EM64T") CPU with on-die memory controller.
Why use sail then? You can just shoot your photon the opposite way.

One of the things I like most about this is that Ian includes the simple mistake in the first function. It’s a bit humbling and acknowledges the fact that even the best of us often make trivial mistakes.
It also helps make the point that even the simplest code needs a basic test and adds another argument in favor of generics on the premise of duplicating tests.
maybe you disabled js? it's ember.

if you meant that as a snide remark, i don't think that's fair. i don't require js for my websites but it's fairly standard practice. this is one of the most aesthetically pleasing sites i've seen this week.
No, but the pharmacies hold only a little bit of power over that stuff. If the single payer health plan won't cover x medicine because y is cheaper and just as effective, x is rarely going to be ordered. X being an equal price to y means x might be some doctor's first line treatment.
Not a day job, but while looking for a day job, I came across a process, where a state run department has multiple openings; you upload your resume things like name, details, previous jobs, address etc to a standardized form, & then at job search page, just click the listing, review the text, click Apply, attach your standardized auto generated resume by click of a button, agree to their t&c with a checkbox, & click Apply, & note down the information from thank you page about job number, city, position, department, type etc. All of these 6-7 pages had unique URL, & all html was nicely generated with proper css id class names etc.

After spending about 5 Sundays doing this manually, I quickly wrote a JavaScript bookmarklet where it gets the current URL, & switch case calls the required function. Each page had different function to look for element, focus, highlight for me, & click it. The last page all required information was loaded & sent to a Google script for spreadsheet.
It’s a bit extreme to say that any email that you don’t want is spam. I joined a mailing list years ago for an open source project I was interested in, and recently I stopped using it. I don’t think those emails suddenly became spam because my interest changed. Of course I unsubscribed through their system, I didn’t report it as spam.
The FAQ is really condescending and almost sounds deliberately written to make people angry.
No, it is more like taking 10,000 bobble heads, dividing them in to thirds, and giving a piece to each of the 30,000 fans who showed up.
Or even hunt more, because they have energy to burn for recreation.

I seem to recall some study in England finding this ...
I don't deny the Watch is a good product. And those who point out that you needed a Mac to use an iPod or an iPhone are correct. But the functionality of the devices themselves didn't overlap to the extent they do with the iPhone and the Watch. It's like Apple came out with the iPhone, then for an encore said "Hey, here's a bigger iPhone you can watch movies on! And here's one you can wear on your wrist!" I just don't see the Watch being on the same level as the Mac, iPod, or iPhone in terms of innovation (regardless of market success). I understand reasonable minds can differ.
Is this something that could be helped by all the recent machine learning computer vision advances?

That is exactly the thing that Google employees are protesting against.
Gut flora - you likely have a healthier microbiome, or at least one that was able to adapt to a vegetarian diet.

Microbiome variance is a relatively new area of research but studies have already highlighted links to IBS/IBD, autoimmune conditions, and psychological conditions.
Dear FTC,

Duly noted that poor planing may lead to the exhaustion of the paltry reserves Equifax set up for the actual victims of its crimes.

How about some real justice then?
We do help employers gage appropriate salaries. We place candidates into tier levels based on a.) how well they did on our online assessment and b.) if they have any relevant work experience-- the tier levels relate to salaries that would be appropriate. This also allows employers and candidates to have the right expectations before walking into interviews.
I’d suggest calling them. Not only will they help you figure out whether they can provide service to you, by they’ll probably also take your complaint about reCAPTCHA seriously and work to fix the site. Their reps are friendly and helpful, which is such a bizarrely wonderful experience for anyone accustomed to talking with Comcast/ATT.
Yes. There is plenty.

One company that does exactly the same things? No.

Companies that do part of what Google does? Absolutely, duckduckgo for search, countless email services to replace gmail, openstreetmaps to replace gmaps, the list goes on.
If it bounces off in the opposite direction then the net effect would be actually be negative.
I'm saying the electric fan is pointed so that it is blowing air in the forward direction. A sail at the front of the car will catch said air and propel the car forward. I'm sure it would work in a vacuum too if you had a CO2 canister mounted to the car blowing forward into the sail.
Also, plenty of useless junk is peddled through "word of mouth" (MLM, anyone?). Fake reviews, paid word of mouth - banning ads won't ban marketing, it will just force marketers to change tactics to ones that aren't clearly better for customers/consumers. Maybe much worse.
