The flare "just reached us" is the way this should be understood.

Or well, we _just_ discovered it.

But I guess it would make the title less appealing. Who would read "black hole flared 25000 years ago for 1 hour"? :P
There was also the A2500 which had a 68020 processor with an MMU.

Have there been any accidents? In general I think delivery drivers in cars, on bikes, and other modes of transport tend to be less safe due to the real or perceived need to speed.

Dams represent man-made changes to the environment that often had unforeseen negative impacts.

In the case of Niagra Falls, its presence isolates the Great Lakes ecosystem from the Atlantic Ocean. During many millennia a unique ecosystem developed. When the canal was built to allow ship traffic from the ocean into the Great Lakes, it caused a sequence of ecological disasters due to invasive species.

The lesson: Don't screw around with mother nature (adding or subtracting)
I'm trying to really understand the problem here.

I do understand that people want clicks to their site so that they can get ad views, and that those ad view payments are what pay the hosting bill and reimburse for the effort of generating the info.

Yet from a UX PoV, I simply want to know the airspeed of an unladen swallow. I don't want to click to learn it. That additional friction doesn't improve my user experience, it improves someone else's. Mandating that would turn Google into a splash screen or landing page, and we've gotten rid of those anti patterns for good reasons.

I chose my toy example (unladen swallow) because it's an example where nuance is required (African or European?) and if google's answer box were to obscure that it would be wrong. But if answers that with a "two answers: African x European y, and click here to know more" that is a user-friendly model.

Really objecting to google doing this is like objecting to an ad blocker IMHO. Ad blockers upset sites, but make users happy.

(anti disclaimer and disclaimer: I am not a fan of google, use DDG, and my company has ditched all google services. OTOH my gf works there, though not on anything related to search.)
Command + F "Video Toaster". No matches.

What?

The Amiga was used even by some TV networks solely due to the availability of the Video Toaster, as comparable hardware costs were way higher. That was usually paired with Lightwave 3D.
while this is a far cry from the deliverator of snow crash, this still reminds me of the opening from that book when talking about the fictional US of the future

"y'know what? There's only four things we do better than anyone else:

I think it does make sense for the pizza companies to own this part of logistics like they already had with the car in this country.
How is your service different from the many other players in this space that have failed or are struggling to succeed?

To provide context: price transparency is basically a commodity, and the actual prices a patient will be deemed to owe for services rendered isn't just hard to predict, it's sometimes literally not possible. I've worked in this space for years. The problems with this industry aren't technology problems, they're people (political) problems. From what I can see, your company isn't actually doing anything that isn't already available and in some cases implemented. That's the motivation behind my question.
The world our ancestors lived in was too. We traded one hell for another.
"Cash pay only" doctors compete with the existing system today. With the rising upfront costs each year, there's an increasing trend of a cash pay doctor's office visit being cheaper than the co-pay of your insurance provider.

Why this is true a separate discussion (possibly overhead of dealing with the healthcare system or insurer).
> They lost ad impressions.

Sure, that counts as revenue. It's not something I'm going to lose sleep over. I don't exactly think that advertisements should be a profitable "feature" of the internet in its current form.

> Why not? It's not like that they had any other options than trying to extract that information from ad-laden websites.

You completely missed my point. Now that Google "owns" the data and provides the answer, the user won't need to click on a scummy site.

Moreover, casual questions not answered directly by Google are answered by casual browsing. Casual browsing happens with ad blockers. If a site breaks when an ad blocker is in use, users exit the site.

Fake images are often downsampled. I assume the same reasons apply here.
Waterfalls don't change the rate of flow of water. When 1,000 cfs is flowing into the waterfall, 1,000 cfs is flowing out. Rain events result in rises in flow and droughts result in low flows, these are important in a fish's life cycle. Many dams fill up their reservoirs during a rainy season and then slowly release during the dry season. Waterfalls don't do that.
Sounds compelling. Where can we try it out? We need to compare the results with GPT-2 to see how it performs.
I actually found myself getting motion sick at 50ms and above. I'm not sure why, I was a dialup kid from 300 baud on up for like 15 years.

It is perfectly acceptable in war to brutalise the enemy. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
Agreed, insurance companies are typically a big cog in the wheel. We're starting to see things change as high deductible health plans have grown so rapidly. The consumerism of healthcare is starting to create change (i.e. price transparency executive order signed in June).

This video is helped by some superficial similarity between Hader and Cruise, and the transition to and from Seth Rogen's face is slightly less smooth. Still, this is incredibly well done.
Thank you so much! It's hard to know what's going to happen but something has to happen. The system is broken.
I don't like the metaphor. With financial debt, you get $X up front for $Y (where Y >= X) and pay $Y amount over N months. It's known up front what it's costing you (Y - X) over what time span (N). If the difference between Y-X is low, congrats! You got a great interest rate. If it's large, well, good luck!

But in both those cases, the pain is known up front. The discussion here seems to be no one knows what X is, nor Y, but it's expected that Y > X by some large amount that you may or may not have to pay off. Crazy!

What evidence are you looking for? The positive health effects of breastfeeding are well-known, well studied, and well replicated. The positive psychological effects (lower cortisol, etc in infants) are also well known, as are the positive effects in mom (lower incidence of PPD).

Breast milk is not a fixed product. Rather, the suckling action as well as pathogens present in the baby cause it to change its composition. It contains antibodies for the baby if the child is sick, and its fat/sugar ratios change depending on the age of the baby (via suckling). Pumping removes this feedback loop from the mother. There is little research here, but preliminary research (https://psmag.com/economics/unseen-consequences-pumping-brea...) demonstrates several negative effects of pumping. Pumping often produces too much foremilk (high in sugar), rather than hind milk (high in fat), because pumping doesn't work in the way baby's mouths do.

As for comfort. I think most babies are comforted by feeding. However, with formula, you have to be careful not to overfeed. You can't really overfeed with breastfeeding. The maximal amount of calories the child can get is whatever amount his mother is eating, so if mom is eating the right amount, the baby will get it.
It isn't too hard to image a future where actors no longer sell their skills but rather just their name and likeness. And – similar to photoshop or autotune — expressions, dialog, posture and everything else can be edited as needed.
Nonsense! We have this law here on Maui and it has only helped lower plastics pollution and loose trash. People have all adapted to carrying re-use sacks and I hear very few complaints. It is so nice not to see shredded plastic blowing in the the trees and brush all over the place.

Same user also did the Jim Carrey in Shining deepfake which is as well done as this and at times really unsettling. From now on I can safely say that I can't trust any video footage I see. This is that well done. The algos will only get better and do a convincing blend in 4K in the future.
That’s what I thought this was. Haha. I think this is the gold standard for crazy side hustle.
You would be surprised by the places sub-$1 mcus appear, even down to a dime. Car manufactures use them all over the place, even ECUs(at least until recently; I'm no longer "in the biz"). Yes, shaving a few pennies from the BOM of a $30K device is still worth doing when you produce them in huge volume.
IMO there's a big difference between shock and intolerance. Shock may usually (but not always) lead to a negative reaction, but intolerance seems more like a default position.

To put it another way, shock is someone who jumps when you scare them; intolerance is someone standing with their arms crossed who's already made up their mind.
The Wikipedia article says this, but for those who just read the comments, the formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is very much an open problem! There are two main theories here:

1. You have a collection of black holes that formed from stars in a very dense cluster at the nucleus of the Galaxy early in its life that all merged to form an intermediate mass black hole, which then grew into a SMBH.

2. An intermediate mass black hole formed directly from the direct collapse of a large gas cloud and then grew into a SMBH.

But even the better known case of the formation of stellar mass black holes is still not well understood!
> The duration shouldn't be much different

Does that mean, same duration within nanoseconds? milliseconds? seconds? minutes?

That's a great idea. I'll try that next time. My version of petty revenge is to sign up with one of my throwaway Gmail accounts, and then mark them as spam as soon as the first newsletter rolls in. Hopefully, there's others doing the same and they'll be at least partially blacklisted.
Yep, just look at Toy Story 1, Spiderman 1, for examples of delivery drivers and bikers being pushed to limits.
It's not like they can buy any old engine and slap it under the wing. The two engine choices are deeply integrated in the final package. Boeing has been collaborating with R-R and GE for years on software and hardware integration.

The engines are also mounted to the air-frame at Boeing's facilities (since the plane can't really leave under its own power until that happens), so whether the airline pays Boeing or R-R for the engine is just an administrative detail.

As for the server comparison, if you buy a Dell computer, your warranty is from Dell. If something needs to be fixed, Dell will do it and then argue with Intel about who foots the final bill.

The airplane world is a lot more complex, and that is exactly my point – the blame is not 100% with R-R and 0% with Boeing – or vice versa. There's plenty of blame to go around.
I am doing some research work for an investment firm and I spent quite a lot of time on the "thematic vs thesis" topic.

This blog post is from ~10 years ago, written by a smart VC, Fred Wilson. I think it's interesting to revisit the debate after 10 years, and after all that has changed in VC land since then.

Honorable mentions in the comments: Chris Dixon suggesting an "anti-thesis" to support clarification, and Brad Feld confirming that small teams working on the same thesis maximize the impact of each individuals.

With so much of this production moving to Taiwan, I have to assume a nasty side-effect of this trade war will be Beijing advancing its timetable to take the island by any means necessary, especially since economic downturns often cause authoritarian governments to use nationalist bread-and-circuses (which “taking back” Taiwan definitely would be) as a distraction.
I was born and raised in Idaho and have seen almost no movement on environmental issues here in my lifetime. For those of you in coastal states, big cities and predominantly democratic (blue) states, you may not realize that most republican (red) states like mine are still controlled by the "good old boy" network.

Which means that the pretty much the ONLY way to hold a public office here, especially a federal office like US senator or representative, is with the approval of one of the timber, mining or grazing families like Simplot (which supplies the potatoes for fast food chains and beef for the northwest).

So although I write my elected officials often, I have only seen concern from Mike Simpson and a handful of others. Crapo, Risch and Fulcher are firmly pro-industry and for the most part ignore all environmental concerns.

So it's really up to you in your state to write to your officials, even though Nevada, Utah and Idaho have the most public land in the lower 48 (and many endangered species).

I realize that big cities have their own problems with corruption from democrats, for example with unions or boondoggle construction projects (although I'm not personally familiar with them). But make no mistake that environmental degradation is almost purely a republican problem, and it happens almost entirely at the behest of red states.

And the citizens of red states are almost powerless to do anything about it once the demographics reach about 60/40 red. We have to go to great lengths via groups like the Sierra Club to prevent clearcuts and mass killings of wildlife, and the battle never ends.

Even if you are a conservative living in a blue state, it's up to you to contact your elected officials if you feel any concern at all for the environment.
I am not a mobile developer nor am I a web developer but can't Huawei base their apps on web apps?

That would mean they could port any web app from IOS or android to Harmony OS as long as there are no native bindings as react native has.
Eventually they can incorporate webassembly when that really gets of the ground.

Seems the current design meme is "neon colors, gradients, quasi-3D cartoon illustrations." Almost every startup is using this meme currently. (It looks nice too.) I'm just curious, where's the central location for these memes? If I hire a random designer, will he just "know" to make it this way? Or is there one design firm doing all these sites?

Couching negative interest rates as wealth preservation fees is ridiculous. We already have mechanisms to charge for wealth preservation. Why is something so round-about as negative interest rates required?

Because it's not about charging people for wealth preservation. It's about encouraging people to spend money that is created out of thin air on things they don't need so the economic indicators look good and the masses are "fully employed". Many of the jobs in this setup tend to be selling addictive substances, addictive entertainment, and extracurricular actives that are hard on the environment.

I don't know about y'all but I think an economy based on what people actually need is essential for human survival and sustainability.
My pet peeve, way more annoying than latency.
> My guess is that these analyses by insurance companies don't properly take into account the risk of theft.

So your guess is that insurance companies, companies for which their entire business model revolves around risk management, are not taking into account something as mundane as risk of theft?

That's a... curious line of reasoning.
Colleges get their tuition from students, so the location of where the student's family lives is mostly irrelevant outside of in-state vs. out-of-state.

Schools are funded by local property tax and the districts are drawn pretty locally, as are police and fire. They are also subject to the same vicious cycle of people move in -> demand better services -> local taxes go up -> the rich childless leave -> tax base suffers -> local taxes go up, etc.
THis also follows on massive investment and improvement on their restaurant & food side. They admitted their product sucked and put a lot of work into making it better (which it definitely is). Many of their restaurants are converting from delivery focused to sit-down as well; we'll see if this counter-trend pays off (huge investment required by franchisees to build out locations)
