No solid reasons honestly, other than personal preference. Bulma just looks better out of the box to me.
There is a lot of ancillary complexity in database connection libraries that we could attack before replacing the standard structured query language by some poorly considered mapping of objects to and from relation(s), inspired by poorly understood bad old OOP, which is generally what all ORMs boil down to.
Well in this case to a certain extent, it certainly does have legs. Because the way climate change is going it looks like we won’t be around to capture the results of those probes landing.

Or at least not in a worthwhile sense (+5c and up).
Yeah I can't really read Dutch. I enjoy attempting it though, like a crossword puzzle.
That's because of throttling though. Your MacBook Pro has fan(s), the iPad doesn't.

I'm pretty sure the iPad Pro SoC in a MacBook Pro case would be at least on par with the latest Intel-specced MBP
Yeah, ORMs have grown to mean more than mapping relational data to objects. An example of "just" this mapping can be seen in PureORM[0].

There are no such guarantees – as far as I am aware – and as a former student I remember having a single Chinese classmate in my 4-year Computer Science degree program. After the Foundation Year, students of all nationalities were treated equally, and there were much more 1st year students from the US and the EU than from China.
How many talented people , in advanced economies, with good technical degrees , do take part in inventing important stuff ?

Very few.

Educating more kids and having more "ideas" won't change that.

We're not lacking ideas. We're lacking the right incentives to make ideas happen.
Is it safe to have plants in the bedroom, don't they use up oxygen at night?
Since I believe that being vegan is usually the most impactful thing an individual can do, and I don't have the skills necessary to encourage other people to go vegan, I donate money to people who are good on doing that. So I support some educators on Patreon that are doing a great job, like Earthling Ed and others.
It's absolutely effective. Much of the public aren't as educated as we might like, and communication needs to be as simple as possible. Using units of measure will only serve to confuse, because it adds additional complexity in interpreting the advice.

"Units" reduce the complexity to a single number. For most drinks it will be 1, 2 or 3 units. Simple numbers, single digits.

General health advice will state that n units are the maximum recommended per week or day for men or for women. It's a single number to remember. Make sure the drinks you have total less than that maximum number, and you'll be following the recommendations.

The aim here isn't to be scientifically accurate. It's to reduce the problem to its essentials so that the message is clear and simple, and everyone in the entire population can understand it and follow it. By that measure, it's wildly successful.
Indeed, it makes it difficult to know what you're actually buying when considering something like a 3600 vs 3600x
Thor Halvorssen Mendoza
Thor Halvossen Mendoza is a terrorist who have set up a fake "human rights" organization in Washington D.C. in the year of 2005. He is the cousin of Leopoldo Lopez Mendoza and relative to the billionaire Venezuelan Lorenzo Mendoza.

Thor Halvorssen Mendoza (children of an ex-CIA/DEA agent) is an Islamophobe, Russophobe, Sinophobe, neo-Nazi.
In 2008 HRF hrf.org is declared by the United Nations Social and Economic council as a terrorist organization according to WikiLeaks cable "https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08USUNNEWYORK516_a.html" where it is clear that Condoleezza Rice and the Bush administration lobbied the UN to give consultative status these terrorists.

Thor Halvorssen Mendoza's fake NGO received over $100 Million funding from Right-Wing neocons and recently they also started scamming people with Bitcoin in the name "of sending AID to Venezuela". Mendoza today advocating for regime change in countries which are enemies of the United States. Some call HRF a CIA front which is exactly what they are.

One major factor that needs to be considered when looking at these data is that the electoral districts (the unit of measure here) were redrawn with significant changes after the 2010 census (taking control of state legislatures in order to redraw the maps to be much more favorable was a key component of Republican strategy). As a result conparing 2008 and 2018 as if those congressional districts were the same may be skewed.

Urgh. Is it really 42%? That's depressing.

One day, maybe, but not soon.

It's great that we can have dream machines at ridiculously low prices, but these machines are valuable enough that we'd buy them at 2x or 3x the price, easily. There'll be a whole lot of grumbling and complaining, as always. But people have grumbled and complain since the iPhone 1 and every year there after --- and they've been MASSIVELY wrong about the value of these devices compared to their costs, and so, just how desirable they are.

At the end of the day, are you not willing to pay $5K extra from a car that's REALLY self-driving and ultra-safe? Would you not pay $3K for something like your phone, only with enough performance to translate any text or words you hear, and to behave as intelligently as a human secretary?
Your backtest doesn't address anything that the paper covers and seems completely unrelated. It feel like you read the headline on HN and assumed you knew what the paper was about.

Here's the beginning of the abstract, which only takes four or five seconds to read:

"The majority of common stocks that have appeared in the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) database since 1926 have lifetime buy-and-hold returns less than one-month Treasuries. When stated in terms of lifetime dollar wealth creation, the best-performing 4% of listed companies explain the net gain for the entire US stock market since 1926, as other stocks collectively matched Treasury bills."

What part of that does your 5 second backtest show?
I'm not Republican or Democrat, but I find the Math provided not agreeing with their conclusions.

Given more than 60% of tech workers do not identify as Democrat, the conclusions that tech workers are Democrats are silly.

I identify with only a few Democrat Candidates and fiscally think Democrats are regressive.

That said, Republicans also don't align with my social or economic views. (Tariffs and government spending)

If I had to guess why this article exists, they are pressuring people into thinking educated rich people vote Democrat.
That is your opinion. It does not change the facts as stated and, in my opinion, is not a helpful way of framing the issue. Certainly is isn't helping media companies sell more content nor is it helping their customers consume more content.
To be fair, almost causing a default was also pretty harebrained.

A little bit OT: did anybody come up with a way to graph two stocks such that you see individual long term performance but also relative performance?

I.e. you can plot them on different scales, so that they both start at the same position. Then you easily see which stock outperformed. But what if you want to see when it was a good time to switch as well?
I don't get the argument here. Hasn't Google Docs proven that this works so much that even Microsoft is now copying it?

Solar across large areas plus batteries does not have intermittency issues. Like all power sources you need to build out for the worst case, as power output can drop. But that’s true of Nuclear as well because power plants need refueling etc.

So, let’s hypothetically say you need 2x redundancy with solar generation to hit 100% grid demand 99.99% of the time. 2x 2c + 1.3c only bumps you up to 5.3c/kWh. And note this is with vast overkill wasting 50% of electrify generation. Except that’s not a comparison to coal or Nuclear that’s a comparison with the grid including peaking power plants.

Run the economics of 100% Nuclear and you need both excess capacity seasonally and vast amounts of grid storage daily. Thus vastly increasing the already high prices.

PS: Remember if the sun goes out we all die anyway, it’s at worst local clouds we care about. Further, demand for AC is lower on cloudy days.

This. It feels insane that some manufacturers don't think about it, but I use gloves ~6 months a year when driving (even when my car has heated steering wheel).

Operating a car with touch buttons is just stupid, I can't feel any "haptic" from those and some of them won't even register anything. Getting gloves off and looking at some screen while driving isn't safe.

Hang on, if they sequester 10 tons and you build 5000 of them you would sequester 50,000 tons per year, not nearly 25 billion.

10 tons is in the region of what the global per capita emissions are so you're looking then at about 3+ billion needed.

None. You'd reduce emissions if it was not replaced by anything else and you don't look at the impact of what was being transported, but you'd not sequester any carbon.
Good point, but that's still a far cry from a tracking ad I feel. It can't be personalized to me, and my data isn't auctioned at the point of display. It's after-the-fact analytics, which sounds a lot more benign.

California has seen an insane uptick in converter thefts from Priuses.

Doesn't help that prop 47 in California makes thefts under $1,000 a misdemeanor, so if you get caught stealing them you just get a slap on the wrist.

Can't they charge them with some federal crime since they are altering an emissions system?

Something needs to be done about scrap metal buyers and the people who sell to them to weed out the thieves. They will steal anything made from certain metals and the recyclers will happily buy anything including a pickup truck full of brand new air conditioning units.
Because the US has the silicon valley, historically it invented the internet and modern computers, the US holds most of the core tech companies (intel, AMD, microsoft, google).

The US just have much more expertise and engineers, which is essential if you want the NSA to recruit and be the best at what it does. It has many aspects, I guess cerebral and technical capital are important notions.

Even if other countries can compete with the US on cybersecurity, the US is holding most of the data but also is writing most of the software and designing everything around computers, so it makes it trivial for them to turn those products against other countries who buy them.

Except linux, I really don't see any computer product that doesn't have critical parts or system made in the US. And as I said I'm certain the NSA can exploit open source very easily since it's a problem with solutions: Torvalds said "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow". That is true, but if NSA is supplying eyeballs to find vulnerabilities and use them at their advantage, linux will be an asset for the US.
My experience is that ORM are great for avoiding boilerplate IF you already know SQL and don’t consider them as an abstraction layer but as syntax sugar.
Honestly, right now, the "unfairness of life" is the closest to a coherent message I can interpret from their "movement".

Is suspect you can search for this, but here's a quick shot - how much living material is inside them? Let's say all the plants weight the same as one human. And they don't need to keep warm. So most likely they're not respirating more than one extra human. And I don't think having three people in a bed is unsafe.

They computerized for the same reason most things are, higher efficiency leading to lower cost. It speeds up the check-in process which means each polling location can handle a larger number of voters reducing the cost of elections. After the fact records need to be updated to reflect which voters have actually voted. It is much faster, less labor intensive and less error prone to gather that information electronically from some iPads than pay people to review paper records and enter that information into a computer.

The information is stored locally on the iPads because doing so on a server greatly increases both the potential failure scenarios and the potential attack surface of the system. Think about the impact of that server going down or a DDOS of the server. Also think about the communication infrastructure needed to and within the polling place for those iPads to reliably be able to reach the server.

Indeed. I don't know what materials the current generations use, but 20 years ago, at least, the catalytic mesh was platinum.

Unsurprisingly, converter thefts were common enough. (This was back in Finland, fwiw.)

I've never heard of notification pop-ups on an ebook reader. I hope you don't seriously compare reading on a normal tablet with paper books.

I am not sure that is true. There has been some change in opinion on whether old growth continues to be a carbon sink. I don't have a good ref handy, but found this:

"Until recently it was believed only young forests sequestered atmospheric carbon in early growth and that old-growth forests were only sinks in which the carbon was stored. Recent studies, however, have identified that intact old-growth forests continue to take up carbon from the atmosphere even past the point at which they reach maturity. By measuring growth rates, researchers have identified that carbon sequestration in trees increases continuously because the overall leaf area increases as they grow, enabling bigger trees to absorb more carbon from the atmosphere. Older, larger deciduous trees reproduce more new leaves, thus capturing the most carbon from the atmosphere."

>TSMC 7FF will only break even next year.

I've no idea if that's true but assuming it is, then from next year it's pure profit and they are the big fish in a pond of 2 (or 3?) fish with no new fish in sight. People will be using this process for years and years to come. With so little competition at 7nm and the high barriers to entry (even over time) they can surely maintain their margins for much longer than at previous nodes. I'm not saying bailing wasn't the right decision for Global Foundries and the risk might be higher now, but so the rewards.
China is big the way oceans are big and unless there is a really ugly war they are going to be the preeminent power in the Asia-Pacific for this century. 'Reduce our dependency on Chinese money' is a nice idea, but that would be like trying to reduce our dependency on the United States. A very difficult tightrope to walk.

Besides which, that sounds like a One-nation policy. That sort of sounds-sorta-racist/nationalist ideology won't fly in modern Australia.

Well, if governments let corporations dominate, monopolize markets they are inevitably giving up competition and therefore innovation.

I TAed a compulsory "Introduction to Engineering" class at USyd. The class itself was dead easy, the equivalent of the fizzbuzz interview question.

The single assessment was "review an engineering article" where I caught 7 students (all international) plagiarizing. Not just borrowing a sentence or two, but lifting entire paragraphs and gluing them together with broken English. In one case a student had gone as far as submitting Stephen Hawking's "Space and Time Warps", verbatim.

I raised all of these to the professor. Despite all students signing the "I know what plagiarism is, I won't do it and understand there I will be kicked out if I do" - the professor knocked back all of my claims and all students passed.

It was a huge disappointment to realize that this is how the "education system" works.
