We are currently going down a path of chip 'packages' where we put a bunch of discrete cores and management chips into an enclosure that drops into the processor slot.

Setting aside computing with photons (we seem to be making more progress with quantum computing), when are we going to see optical communication hardware shrink to the point where we can get more bandwidth between these chips than copper interconnects?

Or does copper have a head start in signal processing that IC optics can't surmount?

Game boobs are certainly cringeworthy and maybe symptomatic of a sexist worldview that's unfair and therefore, to use a trumpism, sad.

But if commercially-driven fanservice made out of pixels is sickening, what word have we got left for clitoris mutilation and burqas and other such uncomfortably extreme instances of oppression?
Phoenix is the 5th most populous city in the US and spans 517 square miles. The Phoenix Metro area spans over 14,000 square miles. Good luck navigating that on your scooter - especially with kids or cargo.

"Cities" don't necessarily mean "densely-packed sardine cans where people conduct their entire lives within a 2 mile radius of home".

We chose this method because it requires trust of just one entity (the lambda end point we provide) rather than trust of each app that might interact with SimpleID's SDK. If the seed phrase is generated client-side within an app, that developer could hold onto that seed and use it maliciously.

Identities created through SimpleID can be used across multiple apps, so it's important to us that developers are only able to access data specific to their app (i.e. app-specific encryption keys).
this is actually a great point that didn't occur to me. when you play audio over Bluetooth, you don't have much control over which codec gets used. if there's a high probability that your music gets transcoded in flight, you really don't want to start with a lossy source. lossy-lossy conversions are one of the only ways to create encoding artifacts that the typical person will actually notice.

I can only answer for Toronto, Canada but the answer was nothing. Uber has a deal with one of the insurance companies up here so you’re covered at no extra charge. (Intact / Belair Direct).

Technically, "Hong Kong Exchanges" aka HKEX is making this offer. But it's worth asking who ultimately controls HKEX.

The Hong Kong government only owns 6% of HKEX, but they have the right to appoint 6 of the 13 directors. If they get one of those remaining 7 directors on their side somehow, the Hong Kong government has total control of HKEX. It seems like the government would be able to assert control if it really wanted to.

And as we've seen recently, the Hong Kong government is basically controlled by the central Chinese government. The Communist party controls all appointments.

If this bid goes through, it would be pretty ironic, because it would mean the Chinese Communist Party now controls the London Stock Exchange. In general I support allowing cross-border purchases but this one seems pretty dangerous.

For example, imagine the Chinese government putting pressure on every company listed on the LSE to stop supporting the Hong Kong protests, or to stop referring to Taiwan as its own country.
That is one heck of a link, thanks.

But it's too bad that so many of those points are ambiguous due to lack of information.

For example, the "Computer Industry" example (CTRL + F for it). It's pretty clear cut that a huge amount of software freelance work falls under this example.

But then this sentence ruins everything: "Steve works at home and isn't expected or allowed to attend meetings of the software development group".

What if you have to goto 1 or more meetings to get a clarification on the specifications because part of what you're developing is related to 3 other people who are employees of that company.

It seems ridiculous to me that if you sit in on a 30 minute remote meeting, suddenly you're a W2 employee instead of a contract worker. Likewise it's ridiculous if you happen to go on site once or twice for whatever reasons. The examples are also left up in the air. If a single condition fails, is it an automatic W2 employee, or are you still able to be a 1099 employee and it just so happens the example didn't go into enough detail.

Then it's like, well, if you try to follow the rules but the rules aren't clear then how are you supposed to follow them. Surely you can't get in trouble (read: pay fines) due to the rules being incomplete?

So you think that making a record of the president's public communications is a bad thing? Sure it was spawned by a typo (granted one that was part of an unprofessional and childish rant), but the core idea of extending official communications new forms of broadcast, and recording those official communications seems like a good one to me. What's the counter besides "it was the result of my leader acting like a child"?

Thank you. Yes, they're Windows clients.

I'm sure that'll make for some great "well we can't get them on anything else" prosecutions in a few decades as inflation works its magic. Hard coding dollar amounts into law is beyond stupid. At least it's a civil infraction so you should only get a fine in most cases. (I'm making the charitable assumption that having the amount decrease over time was not intended).
That's interesting. Yeah most of my FAANG offers had no cliff (quarterly or monthly). All my unicorn offers were 1 year cliff though :/

I wonder if they'll bake the bonus in. Getting those $100k signing bonuses are pretty nice, especially since some companies give 25% or 50% before you start, which allows you to do a trip. Plus $100k added into a 4 year vesting schedule is a pretty large opportunity cost (assuming you could grow at 7% a year, which is admittedly aggressive, is leaving ~$30k on the table).

It's not 'weird' at all; if Uber is employing you you will need to maintain a certain number of hours / week. They will likely reduce the number of drivers that they have, but now they also need to ensure that the schedule is covered. Seems like common sense really, has nothing to do with spite, not sure where you came up with that.

Right, but in that case we never observe the wavefunction, the quantum state of the particle, or the particle interacting with itself.

In that sense, the wavefunction predicts the outcome but it does not have to "real". It is real in Pilot Wave theory, but it could simply be a mathematical or calculational tool .

In either case, you are right that one has to use it get the right result.

Let me ask you a similar question. Are virtual particles, as described with Feynman diagrams, real?

What form of financial network allows a random company to take money from people without any authorization or interaction on their part?

Working on a side project is something a lot of us share. Whether it’s an open source resource, a blog, etc., all ideas, as crazy as they are, have some sort of potential. Yet one thing I've realized is that there's really no organized service that's designed to allow you to share side projects and to garner feedback on them.

That’s what sideprojects.net is. It’s a platform where you can share your side projects and get feedback, ideas, and even support on them. It’s 100% free to use as well :)
Yeah and it gets even more grey because what if you're using your own computer but you have to connect to hardware that the company owns such as a server, or even servers on the cloud that the company is renting and paying for.

Technically you're using something that belongs to them. Then there's the case of connecting through their VPN too.

Then it's like, why would using a company laptop to SSH into a company owned server be any different than using your own laptop to connect to a company SSH server.

And of course, what if you did great work for that company as a contract worker and they decided to give you a laptop as a bonus / gift. Or more realistically the thing you're developing requires a lot more hardware than your current machine so as part of the contract you signed, they will provide you an extra $1,500 up front to purchase a computer upgrade. Technically you bought the computer so it's not the company's. The greyness never ends haha.

Do you suggest that states should ban tobacco? I think that would be a mistake, judging by the effects of alcohol prohibition in the 1920s and the current war on drugs.
> iirc we have enough now for 9 billion people

I just don't know what this means. Do we have enough food to feed 9B people for one day? For their whole lifetimes? I think the statistic is too vague to mean anything.

I maintain that we do not have processes in place to feed 9B people for their expected lifespan. If we used our current processes, food sources, diets, etc to feed 9B people, there would be so much disruption in the environment that the situation (being able to feed 9B people with existing food) would not last for the lifetime of those people.

Perhaps I am wrong - but climate predictions for year ~2100 are pretty intense wrt. changes in crop production and such. I just don't think "we have enough [food] now for 9B people".

There are some really good responses to lisper's post: what about 96% of the universe's mass, neutrino mass, what about gravity for that matter. (zing!)

The thing about those particular questions is that they only tell us that the standard model is incomplete. Gravity exists. The fact that it's not in the standard model doesn't necessarily mean that the model is broken, just that gravity needs to be added somehow.

What we need more of are instances where the standard model makes a precise numeric prediction and it's dead wrong. That puts a spotlight on every piece of the standard model that went into the prediction.

C++ is awful also; it is not a good choice of benchmark for brevity.

Though a single use declaration will get you the identifier in C++, the right header file has to be #included. At least it's possible for a single include to bring in lots of material:

#include <biglib> // just one of these

use bigfoo::bar; // one per identifier
use bigwidget::zark;

But C++ has lots of irritating repetition like:

class foo {
foo();
~foo();
};

foo::foo()
{
}

foo::~foo()
{
}

Seven repetitions of foo just to set up an empty class skeleton with non-inlined constructor and destructor.

(The C++ people are self-conscious about verbosity, and trying to fix the problem; unfortunately, in wrongheaded ways that are making the language worse.)

You're completely right, publishers don't need to use the micropayment model. I meant, and should have said, that publishers aren't adopting a low-friction, single-account payment service, of which micropayments are only one.

This is still a massive issue, however. Because the internet makes most online publishers global, consumers have access to many more content sources, and so if even if publishers adjust their subscription prices to match the lower distribution costs and larger audiences that they have access to, the effort of signing up for more than just one or two subscriptions will be much more than most consumers (including me) want to invest.
