I looked for some numbers on low idle power, apparently 3k significantly improved something: https://www.reddit.com/r/AMD_Stock/comments/ado0ix/ryzen_mob.... This reviewer seems impressed, something about only using 10W in idle on desktop: https://youtu.be/M5pHUHGZ7hU?t=363.

And a head-to-head test of a laptop available in AMD and Intel variants says it has better battery life, although the screen panel could be the reason: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T495-Review-bu...

I'd like more info, and Intel still probably has a lot of firmware tweaks etc. that AMD has to implement to win microbenchmarks, but to a first order it's not clear Intel has a lead there anymore.
But will they actually be generally available for purchase? I was super excited to grab an AMD Ryzen 3900x when they came out mid-July and they've been consistently sold out since then. That's over 3 months with the only reliable way to get one being to buy one for almost twice the MSRP from 3rd party resellers at $800-900 vs MSRP of $500.
Extensions are included in Chrome installation, so I can't help but wonder what the actual numbers would be for Google extensions that don't do that.
For context: Entropic was started by several former npm Inc core developers including CJ who left the company after the CEO change was announced internally. CJ herself is the former CTO of npm Inc.

Basically most of the top developers have left the company, others were laid off. It seems to be only a matter of time until none of the people working on npm a year ago remain.
This might be where the hydrogen could be useful (unlike for cars where it costs too much).
Any community dependent on a particular repo is at risk. I'd argue that RubyGems is just as risky as NPM, for example.

The problem is that there's no good fix or alternative, it's hard to avoid a single point of failure.
Not that I'm aware.
I'm no economist, but my intuition is that under normal circumstances, it makes sense for a country's interest rate to be close to the growth rate of that country's economy. Given that, it doesn't seem likely that the US will ever go back to 7% interest rates.

I agree carbon sucking is the only thing that can put the greenhouse effect into reverse.

But imagine if you could have an electricity powered machine that takes out C02 and turns it into solid dense carbon? That is pretty much the opposite of a coal burning power station. With today's technology it would be much simpler to reduce coal burning than taking C02 out of the air.

BTW China alone is building a new coal-burning power station every two weeks. https://unearthed.greenpeace.org/2019/03/28/china-new-coal-p...
You can register the receiver with the ATF and receive a transferable serial number. IIRC you have to have possessed the receiver for a certain amount of time and you can only transfer so many per year before they consider you to be a gun manufacturer.
Building towns, cities, roads, farms, and other comparatively large surface area artificial structures impact windflow, solar absorptance/reflectance, rainfall absorption/runoff, thermal conduction/convection, and others I'm sure. All of which can have an impact on local and in turn regional and then global climates and winds (although not usually in a way we can trace all the way through).

It's worth understanding the impact of all of these in addition to what you ask as well.

A Chinese built and published title. Somehow, I doubt that a French ruling against a US country is going to have any impact whatsoever on a title in China.

Frankly, when it comes to copyright (and anything related to it, like game licenses), it's smartest to ignore the Chinese market entirely, since they don't respect the US or EU copyright system when it doesn't benefit them.

> I do think it'd be safe to say that it'd be the end of the game industry as we know it.

In what way? Even if we include the Chinese market, game developers for consoles with their rampant(!) game reselling have hardly fallen apart (or seen much impact at all) to their bottom line. They're still making record profits. Why assume that the PC market will be that drastically different?

Agree.

I am vegan. Probably 10-20% of my meals end up being vegetarian (usually with a minor ingredient like trace milk in a sauce).

This is simply out of practicality - we're talking stuff like, going to a restaurant with friends and there are no vegan options.

If everyone did that 80%, the ecosystem would (as it _already has!_) change so much that 100% would be trivial.

I used to think that it's pointless to do anything because no-one will follow you.

That has been empirically proven to be complete bollocks over the past few years. Go all in. I will follow, they will follow. It's time.
i would be more worried about intended consequences, such as getting so good at steering smaller bodies around and mathing out the trajectories , that it can be weaponized.
The accidents , things like orbital procession, are likely to be far removed from the current generation, except for shrapnel from a shattered rocky body, and that is the most immediate concern i can think of happening accidentally.

some of these things are not solid, but are like big bundles of rocks stuck together by dust and frozen matter.
Having read this, I think that Barry Crist's use of "my country's government, right or wrong" in defense of supporting Trump-era ICE's indefensible methods proves that an old adage still holds true.

"[false] Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel." --Samuel Johnson, 1775

Barry Crist thinks he is doing the principled thing, but I see him for what he is: the most despicable of cowards, a man who has the power to help change the world for the better, but chooses instead to uphold a profitable status quo.

Any person of conscience working for Chef should resign in protest immediately.
Hasn't a common criticism of Stripe always been lack of good customer support? IIRC there are dozens of threads similar to this one on here. This seems to be another example of that, not necessarily a new revelation.
All of these can be fixed with carbon taxes going towards a carbon offset program. At the end of the day we still need cheap plastic shit so just fully price in the externalities
Just imagine how this will get magnified and drive the world nuts when half the things we try to do to tackle climate change end up being plausibly explainable by natural variation. It's already a hard enough problem to solve without natural variance being thrown into the mix.

> It is nigh impossible to get a viewer of CNN to stop viewing CNN and watch FOX instead. And it is an equally sysiphean task to get a FOX viewer to stop watching FOX and watch CNN full time instead.

Both CNN and FOX are terrible sources, mostly consisting of bloviating pundits with very scarce factual content. Both come with heavily pro-corporate pro-military pro-US-government viewpoints. The main difference is that CNN has at least some basic standards of journalistic ethics, and wasn’t explicitly set up to be one political party’s propaganda arm. But if someone wants to learn the basics about the daily news, watching CNN is also not a very effective use of time.

What exactly do you think happens in undergraduate history classes? What do you think historians spend their time doing? The historians I know all but live in archives and libraries.

Yes, both hares and eggs are fertility symbols. But I’m not sure what your point is exactly. Having a hare bring decorated eggs to children isn’t especially pornographic.

5% sounds about plausible, anybody inquisitive and capable of say, a numerate degree subject - physics, engineering, anything over in that corner, can follow along in textbook RSA. But the CISO doesn't actually need it for their job.

These sort of people are often closer to delusional than straight scammers, so that's why there's a demo of a thing that doesn't really work - they sincerely think they're onto something, even as they fail to achieve anything significant.
It's sad that we tolerate such blatant lies as normal.

PHP dev here, I never found anything that paid well enough on a "marketplace" site to bother investing time in.

My advice is to get networking, if you can get into the ears of enough people you will stumble upon someone who needs help AND may pay you a decent rate. I would have never found my "after 5" gig had it not been for a recommendation from a previous co-worker.

I've been working with After5.io for a few months and it has been great so far. After joining I basically jump to a JIRA board at my leisure and pull work to do.

I've also stumbled across https://www.turtle.dev/ which seems like a similar idea but I have no knowledge of the product.
Another option would be to obtain approval for expensing carbon offsets for unavoidable flights.
I can see where he's coming from: if he refuses to do business with ICE because he disagrees with something they're doing (whether he or they are actually wrong), he's implicitly endorsing every aspect of every customer he does choose to do business with.
One thing that's very important to keep in mind when looking at air travel emissions is how fuel efficient planes actually are. The math works out to around 100 miles per gallon per passenger. And at an underwhelming 2.5% of global emissions, I can't really put it in the category of "low hanging fruit."

That's not to say that we shouldn't invest in things like high speed rail, (because we absolutely will see quality of life improvements for North America) but I'm more excited about improvements in vehicle transportation and energy production.
Faces aren't unique enough and innocent doppelgangers will eventually be abused.
Archaeology deals with facts, but they are usually thin, and specific, and extrapolated in sweeping ways to fill in the gaps.

It's a little like trying to raytrace a scene, except for most of the pixels on the screen, you're not casting any rays at all, and a bare few have many samples.
We're talking about children, and no that's not true.
The article says:

"A paper by Google’s researchers seen by the FT, that was briefly posted earlier this week on a Nasa website before being removed, claimed that their processor was able to perform a calculation in three minutes and 20 seconds that would take today’s most advanced classical computer, known as Summit, approximately 10,000 years."

Why was that paper removed on the Nasa website? Also, I'm curious if supplementary data was provided to support the claims?
I took the liberty of invoking Godwin's Law and re-purposed this template, it should make you consider how weak this statement really is.

Probably the Mill CPU once the hardware actually exists.

I think the counterargument in this context would be "...until we all went to 16-bit processors.". But I understand the point you're making.

These things tend to oscillate

I think you're of course correct, and I don't think the original paper disputes that. What I think (without much research) has happened is that the period of that oscillation has dramatically expanded since the paper was written.
What would you like to see? I'll make some.
As an artist and designer I somehow can't get over the complementary hues in the Lab color space, NCS complementaries fit much better visually.

The main advantage of mathematically derived and absolutete color models like Lab is that they can't be protected by copyright. There is an intiative that tries to be an alternative to Pantone in that market: https://www.freiefarbe.de/en/

Crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor on par with reckless driving. We do not arrest entire families because their father was reckless driving.

A quick look shows the ISO as ~4GB, which is a bit concerning though - CoreOS is around 450MB, and RancherOS only 135MB (although it's a bit difficult to compare, since they both download stuff during boot).
This was never confirmed with any evidence and bloomberg only cites anonymous sources. Given Bloomberg's bad track record on infosec stories I say I have my doubts.

Of course I don't know whether or not the NSA knew about Heartbleed. But nothing that would even remotely qualify as evidence has ever been presented.
I am sure if chef withrdrew their services then suddenly the entire DHS would become sane and kind.
Also committing to scrutinize the internal business practices of every future partner. It's easy enough to point at ICE and say that they're actions don't align with your values. But you're setting a precedent for your company - one that will be very hard to live up to down the road.
Definitely tax it, but I actually view a lot of the business travel as unnecessary compared to consumer travel, and that's what I'd want to get rid of first with a tax. I'm far more sympathetic to people trying to see their dying uncles or attend their sister's wedding or visiting their parents once a year than, say, professionals "needing" to attend conferences or whatever.

Heck, come to think of it, if I ever saw a legit use for VR, it might well be substituting for business travel?

Edit: And somewhat relevantly: business class is far less fuel-efficient too, which would suggest maybe we should get rid of first and business class altogether. Heck, forcing businesses to use economy minus for travel might itself be an easy way to get rid of some unnecessary business trips!
Sure but at a certain point it just harms your credibility if instead of owning up to the incredibly bad mistakes you still pretend you're only leaving because the grass is greener elsewhere.

I know it's standard business procedure to outright lie about these things but it becomes farcical when you basically sink an entire company and then get to "resign" and pretend it's not because you did a terrible job.
I like having 1password. And the ability to impersonate other User-Agent strings for broken webpages. Tampermonkey doesn't hurt. And camelcamelcamel... and Stravistix...

Yeah, I kind of like the ability to install extensions for use cases the developer doesn't and can't think of themselves.

I agree and try to practice it as much as practicable.

I actually don't think this is orthogonal, though.

Ultimately - at least if you're a full time salary(wo)man - you're getting the money anyway.

So step 1 is to not spend it on crap. Step 2 is to spend it on actively positive things.

Mr. Crist is not just the CEO of Chef. He is also a citizen of the United States of America. As a citizen, he has duties that should take priority over his responsibilities as Chef CEO. By virtue of his position as CEO, his influence and his responsibility to wield that influence in the public interest are greater.
Your assumption that the system throws away everything but the images of flagged people and number plates, and expires even those after some period of time, flies completely in the face of reality (e.g. the New York State Police were keeping all their collected ANPR data indefinitely [0]). A number of US states are making legal provisions to restrict how long ANPR data is retained for [2] - are they just tech pessimists too?

> False positives (which I'm not sure the numbers would be 'enormous' at the moment)

A 98% false positive rate [1] seems quite enormous.

> The Metropolitan Police’s system has produced 104 alerts of which only two were later confirmed to be positive matches

In another deployment:

> overall only 234 alerts – fewer than 10 per cent – were correct matches.

At least in the UK you're not going to be stopped by a police officer with a gun drawn on the basis of a failed read [3].

>> If a facial recognition system is only linked to a database of wanted people then it won't be able to ID people not on that database. I.e. if it is no worse than a normal CCTV

Yes, and it would still be able to match other possible suspects purely because they are on the wanted list.

Moreover, you are matching against _actual_ people meaning that whenever the system makes a mistake you are still arresting someone who isn’t wanted.
The number of packages you need to audit for what would otherwise seem to be a trivial feature is exponentially larger in JS world than in Python. A good example of that is the left-pad debacle, wherein a package that left-pads a string was taken down, causing other packages - notably React - to fail to be installed because of either direct or transitive dependencies.

In the Python world, it is indeed likely that unpublishing requests will cause issues, but the number of dependencies you'd need to audit/vendor is _much_ smaller for a typical python app than it is for a typical nodejs app, so your "attack surface" is also comparatively much smaller.
Surprised I haven't seen anyone mention Hyperloop yet. I think if any of the major Hyperloop companies are able to realize their vision then traveling city center to city center by Hyperloop would be a much preferable substitute to air travel for most intercontinental travel.
Strangely I find myself not-liking this ruling. I mean I can absolutely see from an intellectual level, why it's happened - but there will be repercussions.

Firstly the minor one. Restrictions on transfer is what allows us to pick up ridiculously cheap old/good games. Cheap (humble bundle or a steam sale) or even free (you happened to be on epic and pressed a button this month).
There are already 'some problems' - but these services will be killed off.

Major concern I have is that every game will "become a subscription service". I love my stack of steam games sat there to be played whenever I want. This is available as I currently have a perpetual license for them, and this is possible as the current market sells many many many more of these licenses than there are people concurrently playing these games.

i.e. If licenses were made completely transferable, then gaming would become a 'market' like some weird global Uber.

EA creates 100k licenses for a game (and the back-end support for it), if > 100k people want to play it the price to play per hour goes up (or they release more licenses), and if less it goes down they cut the price...
...again I'm OK with the model.. but not how it impacts how I see 'my games'

My real objection being that this won't magically become an open market, it'll become subscription hell.
EU can say something has to be resellable on Steam, but the industry response will be to "not sell on Steam" - and create endless separate markets.
Since the beginning I have always wondered when I came across complaints about there not being enough multi-core software. Am I the only one with more than 1 process running on my system?

The original post doesn't say that they even contacted customer service. We know that they got an email, poked around their dashboard, got some errors, and posted here. We do not know what else was done.

Your point may be valid, if customer service dropped the ball. But we don't know that just from the info posted here so far.
For the record (if it matters) I am very pro-immigration and pro-immigrant rights, but I don't think denying chef services to ICE will actually do anything - let me explain.

Lets look at this from another perspective (couldn't hurt, right?). I am a company that sells paper.

Some companies might use this paper for very bad things (printing out patents?).

Do I comb through all my clients and determine what they are using the paper for? Doesn't seem to make sense, and worse yet, it seems like an entirely subjective process. Who says which companies are "good" and which are "bad" ?

When I stop selling paper to an entity, they will just find another paper provider. I have not really done anything meaningful aside from signalled my intentions, which I could do more effectively in other ways (lobbying, etc).
Yes, I really want to see that project grow. There was a HN post recently where they gave a lot of fantastic answers to questions about the project: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20403570

Of course, the more we can scale back greenhouse gas emission the less we'll need to extract, so IMO it only makes sense to come at the problem from both sides.
You seem to have conflated CO2 with other pollutants. All the world's shipping taken together amounts to only 3% of the carbon emission inventory. It certainly is not the case that 15 ships emit more carbon than all cars.
You're suggesting that nobody should every take a stand for what they feel is right and good because their actions are too insignificant anyway? Grim.
