Netflix, youtube, and facebook can stream fine on lower bandwidth links.

The economic value of high resolution mobile streaming seems rather low, at best. Most likely negative, because most content is just time-wasting, and because content that actually matters tends to not depend so much on resolution beyond SD or basic HD (720p).

Other potential applications, as mentioned elsewhere, tend to run into 5G not being fast enough either (once you figure average speeds and not max theoretical speeds), or latency being too high, or the bottleneck being on the remote side.

4G, despite being ubiquitous, costs a lot for service and is power-hungry, not good qualities for most IoT-type applications. 5G might be better than 4G for mobile side energy use, but unless it's close to 802.11ax levels and mobile providers offer cheap bandwidth-limited service plans, I don't see why anyone would use it for IoT applications. That leaves mobile device applications, and people are already too glued to their mobile devices. I'm sure new businesses will capitalize on increased bandwidth from 5G, but I'm doubtful that it will benefit society.

5G antennas near the ground can be easily vandalized.
This is pretty scummy. If it becomes acceptable to display ads in the terminal, through popularization by usage in heavily relied upon packages like Standard, I imagine this will balloon fairly quickly into a common practice.

Thankfully this is all open source and standard doesn’t add much on top of eslint outside of rapid setup and a preset config, so I expect that the community will just make an ad-free version.
Change gender of the Accused. A woman and man go through a divorce, the man continue to keep tab of his ex-wife through their previous shared bank account. Does that sound like a crime, even if there was no hacking involved?
I appreciate the sentiment but I think this just legitimizes the idea, unfortunately.
I was just highlighting the double standard used depending on who is benefiting. I'm not here to "decide" which one is the correct approach. Just that either way the company with deep pockets will always be the one who gets the better end of the deal. Which is why companies shy away from sharing any of their profits off HeLa with the patient's descendants. But try to use any of their work without sharing the profits with them. A few seconds of a decades old song is assumed to deserve more protections.

Usually companies are allowed to use justifications that nobody else is allowed to.

> The ability to profit off of innovation is necessary to pay for facilities, equipment, and researchers.

The ability to profit is not a binary thing. Which is why patents aren't granted in perpetuity. Given that there's no upper limit to how much profit a company would like to make, I'm not sure you can reasonably support the point. How much profit is enough to motivate?
We are writing our React components in TypeScript, so I’m not sure what React/JSX have to do with TypeScript adoption?
I hope you do realize your comment is about as rational as dark ages priests and peasants blaming villager’s sins for the bad harvesting ( i don’t mean to pick a personnal fight with you in particular, just that your opinion seems very widespread even on this forum, and it worries me)
I always assumed it was 16hz. Oh well. That was a long time ago.
Exactly. If McClain has the credentials, then it means either

1) she somehow got them illicitly (e.g. stealing them from Worden)

or

2) she previously had legitimate and authorized access to the account (e.g. while she and her spouse were not yet estranged / filing for divorce)

If #2, then I reckon this becomes a much harder case to prosecute, given that McClain was implicitly authorized to access the account (else, Worden would have changed the password or otherwise revoked that access). Unless, of course, there's documentation of Worden having told McClain not to access it (and yet still didn't change the password...).

Disclaimer: IANAL
Sounds like Make
Thats a fair criticism.

What I struggle with is, this issue is complex and multi-faceted. I think it’s therefore easy for people to come in with strong preconceptions and cherry pick evidence to support simple answers that fit their worldview.

What I wish is that it was easier to have a more nuanced discussion that didn’t involve demonizing, vilification, or picking sides.

But perhaps that’s naïve.
That's the point. We don't know all of the future applications. But it's very unlikely to be nothing interesting. Do you think everyday appliances in the 50 years will function essentially the same as today? It's a very general enhancement in capability with lots of potential but currently unknown use cases.

I say this while also recognizing that most IoT stuff today is overhyped BS.

Some example cards that don't spell out the rule, but do hint at its existence:

https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multive...

> Draw a card, then draw cards equal to the number of cards named Accumulated Knowledge in all graveyards.

Graveyard is just a fancy name for discard pile, just like Library is a fancy name for deck.

https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multive...

> As Alpine Moon enters the battlefield, choose a nonbasic land card name.

> Lands your opponents control with the chosen name lose all land types and abilities, and they gain "Tap: Add one mana of any color."

https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multive...

> Choose a nonland card name. Search target player's graveyard, hand, and library for all cards with that name and exile them. Then that player shuffles their library.

Exiling is roughly just a more permanent form of discarding/putting in the graveyard. It used to be called "Remove from game".

https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multive...

> Relentless Rats gets +1/+1 for each other creature on the battlefield named Relentless Rats.

> A deck can have any number of cards named Relentless Rats.

This one even hints that there's a limit to how many cards with a certain name can be in a deck.

> 2, Tap: Sacrifice Apocalypse Chime to destroy all cards from the Homelands expansion.

This one I didn't even know existed, this is super weird to me. Completely unplayable in the modern day, but it talks about the fact that there are expansion sets. That's something I thought would only happen in the joke sets they release every 5-10 years.

Also note that this was early enough in the game's history that they didn't realize they would reprint cards with the same name in newer sets. It makes it much harder to use because instead of looking for the Homelands set symbol, instead you have to look up whether a card from any set was in Homelands. That's why they don't use this mechanic anymore, but I'm still kind of shocked to find out that they ever did.
That's a good point. I don't have time to double-check your numbers but I will assume they are correct.

My only rebuttal (if I'm to take an opposing position), would be that different organisms have different clock-cycles, an example would be organic life, hummingbird metabolism versus elephant or whale metabolism. I don't know if their brains are also faster, but since their reaction speeds do seem to be connected to their metabolic rate, it's probably the case.

Considering architecture, the way intelligence is being created through Machine Learning is through cellular units that carry large amounts of information digitally instead of oscillating analog signalling. In fact, I found that when building cellular automata, black-white automatas are elegant in theoretics, but when it comes to what will deliver the most complex/intelligent dynamics on a GPU, it is using each cell/pixel as a complex number, floating point, or vector of such types. The GPU can do so much with single units, so it makes sense to use its full potential.

It's possible that the encoding/signalling of galaxies is similar. Clock speed only has to be as fast as things you _can_ react to. Can a galaxy move fast enough to dodge an asteroid? Likely not.

It'd probably be enlightening to know more about how the brains of larger, slower animals such as elephants or whales operate. Their "clock speeds" might shed some light on what kind of parameter ranges life operates within.

EDIT: one more thing I thought of is that it's very possible that the living stage of the larger structures of our universe is simply young, adolescent in nature. Perhaps we are living at a time when the intelligent behemoths among us, or rather, that we are apart of, are of their first generation. I agree though, it's more unlikely to be seeing the head or tail of a distribution than somewhere in the middle. But we should not rule out young, large intelligences.
I'm not sure what 360 video even is.

AR stands for Augmented reality, the overlay of information and artificial constructs over the real world in such a way as as one can both perceive the artificial constructs and interact with the real world simultaneously.

Nobody will view this by holding their phone up and looking at the world through their phone screen. Real products in development use glasses. Science fiction depicts contacts, currently impossible, or some sort of implant, even less realistic.

Remember we wrote about going to the moon prior to being able to actually go there.
great talk.. !!
In the particular case of Three there's a simpler explanation and it means things will be very different this time : they completely lost the 4G spectrum auction war to competitors (EE and Vodafone mainly), but they didn't repeat that mistake with 5G : they're the only carrier with >100Mhz of spectrum and are likely to dominate performance comparisons for a while.
Not even just the source code. Our system, even with the source code static, has constantly changing characteristics.

We integrate with dozens of 3rd party APIs, making over 10M external HTTP calls per day. That leads to a lot of variability in runtime characteristics.
These conversations don't work in the same way that conversations about why you declined to hire someone don't work. They always push into negotiations between the decider and the person who didn't like the decision. They have decided to leave, that is that.

If you want to avoid these things in the future, a reasonable strategy is to be really clear in setting expectations of the people who work there and the metrics by which they are evaluated. Then check in with them regularly and talk about both of those things. That will keep the employee and the manager on the same page and it will be a surprise to neither of them when things change.
Nevertheless, if the rules were known in advance, it seems the game is fair.

For example if you ponder buying a plot of land, presumably the rules there would factor into your decision. If there was already a rule of "no skyscrapers", then everybody could have factored that into their decision.

It would likewise be unfair to change rules after the fact, because it would devalue people's investments.

As for tax rules, I can't comment. But that is a fault of the government, not of the landlords.
Well, I do RF for a living, and have designed some mmWave transceivers. Time to grow a long beard and through on a robe. I just need a chair that levitates.
Alright, so I should just download a significant portion of YouTube and news websites because I may want to watch those videos randomly? Or I have to wait to get home. Unless we're talking about terabytes of storage on my phone, I don't think this is feasible (for all the video and music I could want at a given time).

Fact is that streaming is just convenient. Like really convenient. I wish there was more stuff that I could download and listen to offline, but it's naive to suggest that streaming has no advantages. We stream while data connected because we download things in an ordered manner (vs how normal downloading is done). That's nice that I don't have to wait for a full movie or song to be completely downloaded to listen to it.
The author compares it to YouTube but I don't think it's quite that bad. I doubt we'll see the relentless adapt-and-attack cycle that YouTube gets. The goal of researchers has always been to publish, but not every venue is equally reputable and the community knows that. Researchers who publish lots of weak papers in crappy journals get a reputation. Tenure committees know how to judge a publication list.

As for bots, journals need to allow authors to respond to bots' rejections and have the rebuttal go to a human editor. True plagiarists won't bother, but if a bot is just catching superficial content this should be easy for an author to point out. Once editors get tired of dealing with false positives, the bots should get fixed.

(As for p-values, that's a larger issue that's been discussed for a long time.)
Someone who is unwell who has committed multiple lesser acts of violence should probably be locked up for at least a little while sufficient for us to figure out if he is going to do it again.

I (think) I've successfully broken this habit after falling victim to it constantly when I was younger. A lot of it is practice and accepting that you'll be deleting or editing comments a lot at first (suggestion: if you do either and they've been up for more than a few minutes, add a bit of context to the edit or deletion). Another tactic that's helped is just writing out my response, but not pressing send for at least a minute or so. I find it usually causes me to imagine potential directions the conversation could go. Oftentimes I just end up not sending if those directions are conversations I'm not interested in having.

Re: learning through argument, I often find the time I take before sending the response to be helpful in crafting the argument and learning how I feel. If you really get value from this, have you considered writing essays and posting publicly?
I like the idea of funding an open source project so it's maintained. However, I don't like the choice that feross made here, which is ads. It's very intrusive to get shown ads while I'm working and focusing on a task, even if it's just installing a package. Output and errors are already hard to read in the terminal, and having ads contribute to it makes it even harder.

I believe the correct way to solve the problem of open source funding is through sponsors and their names shown through the README or through a patreon or similar platform.
The spoofer tricks you into doing something you would otherwise not do. See my example below in my reply to baybal2.

In LA the city is really trying to encourage dense building around current and future transit corridors. Metro and city planning really do great work and are staffed with brilliant engineers, but are generally stymied by NIMBYs who eagerly sue their own city and burn their own and public money on subsequent litigation that only serves to dilute these projects. Beverly hills spent millions out of their school district funding mounting a failed challenge against a subway extension: thats the level of delusion among NIMBYs in CA, burning their own childrens education funding in hopes of not seeing a black or brown person at trader joes.

Sure, but for this to be an easy case to prosecute, it helps if there's documentation of that revocation (as a personal example: I've known plenty of family members and acquaintances who maintained accounts with ex-spouses, especially for things like childcare and other responsibilities that don't exactly go away just because a relationship went sour).

Also, if one does want to make sure a previously-authorized individual can no longer access something, the responsible thing is to change the locks ASAP, thus revoking that implicit authorization.
Streaming is just downloading in order. Data downloads while I watch/listen. That's super convenient. That's the big advantage of streaming. Keeping that data or dumping that data is a different issue.

I don’t really know you or this situation... but there’s a chance that you’re part of the problem. And they won’t tell you that.

I think one thing to reflect on is why you didn’t know this about the pointlessness of exit interviews and the danger of “real talk.” Don’t worry though - I didn’t for a while either. Experience will get you there.
Where I live 4G is good and so cheap that I am thinking about dropping my DSL connection.

I would still need a wifi-router as my laptop and my tv does not support 4G. But my guess is eventually those devices will support xG mobile data and my wifi-router will be a thing of the past.
He is arguing that Google could make money with cash, only less than what they currently make with ads, because people spend cash cautiously, whereas they spend data wildly.

Police arrive at your home and they detain you, and take you to hospital. They claim that you might murder someone.

Agreed. If 5G delivers as promoted, there is no reason to 'stream' any static content...it simply caches to your flash memory in milliseconds (song) or seconds (movie, Netflix already has mobile downloading). I can see a case for streaming in VR/AR or active content (live/multiplayer,etc), but streaming static content isn't efficient.
A profile of Geoffrey Hinton (2018)
In a normal market, I suppose speculation would help increase supply - by driving prices up, it would become more attractive to build. Of course if no building is possible, that won't work.

Nevertheless, there has to be a ceiling to the prices. If no space for living is available, eventually the tech companies won't be able to grow further because they can't hire more people.
5G does in fact have much lower latency than LTE, but that’s really not saying much.

I sometimes like to argue just for the fun of it, but I do recognize that there are some arguments that are not worth getting into, or that the context is not suitable for an argument.

I try to restrain myself to calling out the most obvious hooey I see, because I think that there are some unsubstantiated but seductive ideas out there that are flat out dangerous if left unchecked.

I also try to pay attention to my vocabulary. My first choice above was not "hooey".

I do the same thing a lot, I find it's often a case that I realize i'm just being a dick or have some sort of emotional reaction, some I realize I'm just adding nothing.

I do this far more often with e-mail, sometimes i'll be e-mailing my friend about something, and then all of a sudden go on a big tangent about a problem i'm having or facing and by the time I'm finished the e-mail it's a novel, but I fleshed out my problems and it helped me immensely. I just delete the e-mail at the end / send the one liner response I had in the first place.

>3) The huge order to buy makes other buyers think the price is about to increase significantly, so they immediately buy at the Spoofer's higher price even though they would otherwise prefer to wait for a lower one.

Wait a minute, how did we go from "facilitating the efficient exchange of assets" to "making it easier for speculator to gamble based on what other speculators are doing"?

edit: If anything, spoofing should be allowed to make the price discovery more efficient. For traders wouldn't trade as much based on what other traders are doing hoping to squeeze a short profit. Rather, if they really want in, they will get in with a market or fill-or-kill order at their desired price, period. And it will instantaneously snatch the lowest ask and go deeper into the order book if they want to allow slippage and get a bigger size as well. This would restrain all kinds of quick buck momentum trading and whatnot which only serve to increase the noise around the price and are purely speculative in nature.
