I think they are very keen to have the ability to give updates very fast in case of a major exploit used in the wild. They want to be able to do all updates worldwide in a few hours, rather than the days or weeks that OS updaters take.

They also want the ability to do rolling updates incase an update is bad. For example, roll this update to up to 1% of users, wait 10 minutes, then roll it out to all users if those 1% don't have worse crash statistics.

It also does diff-based updates, so security patches can be delivered in just a few kilobytes, which is important for all the users on GPRS connections.

Other updaters also don't have the ability to downgrade, either based on the new version failing to start, or based on a message from Google, which might be necessary if an update is bad.

Other update platforms don't let them have fine-grained control and a fast feedback system like that.
I'm a Marxist and I support accelerationism. From a Marxist framework it makes more sense than activism or other sort of "modern" ways of protesting capitalism. I understand that capitalism is a necessary step for human development and there are no short cuts. Modern Marxism (mostly Marxism-Leninism) is sheer insanity especially those flavors with Third-worldism [1]. If you actually read Marx and later Marxists/sociologists and understood the basic, it's pretty easy to see that you cannot go to an underdeveloped society and bring "socialism". Socialism will naturally occur in an advanced capitalistic society, such as US, not in a third world country like Vietnam.

Sure, but even in most of those scenarios, I’d prefer to structure the code differently... perhaps write a main() function that just returns, or other functions... more modular, maintainable, teatable, ... admittedly, in Python you need to use os.exit if you want to return a specific non-zero exit code, but even in that case good code style would be something like

def main()
blablabla
if foo:
return bar
...
return 8

if __name__ == “__main__”:
os.exit(main())

Of course that’s just my advice / opinion / preference, other ways are valid as well...

You can bring water closer to the crystal, and make it pass faster past / inside the dissipator plate, thus achieving a larger stream of heat. Effectively you can turn the dissipation plate into moving liquid with high specific thermal capacity (5-7x of the metal plate).
My next web search will concern corporate psychology, and studies that explore the mindsets employees within an organization adopt resulting from the influence of leadership. These mindsets inevitably leak out into society, and are evident in the defenses offered to the indefensible behavior described in the article. Of course, there is nothing illegal here in that apparently customers are allowed the option of reporting the crimes themselves, however when you consider that perhaps there was not so subtle manipulation from investigators which may have discouraged such reports (the careful wording described, though following certain lines, indicates no boundary that can't be crossed to protect the organization), the situation clearly describes a bit of an ethical crisis. To attempt to paint it as commonplace in other organizations does an egregious disservice to the majority of companies that carry out business honorably everyday. This is only another example of tech organizations that sprung up without mature business people to run them and more budget than anything which grow much faster than is healthy and end up doing anything to survive. This trend will unfortunately continue as the concept of value and profitability continues to lose definition in our economy.
Expecting your neighbor to be ok with two people talking to each other for 7 hours straight is just plain rude regardless of your office preference.
I definitely don't think there is any reliable connection between price and durability. North Face or Jansport backpacks are classic examples of items that are well-known for their durability but are not very expensive up front.

Patagonia is not an inexpensive clothing brand, but it's also far from the most expensive clothing brand.
Not aware of benchmarks, but specification-wise I consider HTTP2 to be a regression.

Sure there are good things about it, and many great enhancements, but the larger mechanic of the protocol (the most important part really) has been significantly worsened. I'd rate them as follows:

HTTP3 > HTTP1.1 > HTTP2

QUIC is an amazing protocol, I have no complaints about it, and I'm very happy they decided to go with it for HTTP3. However the decision to make HTTP2 traffic go all through a single TCP socket is horrible, and makes the protocol very brittle under even the slightest network decay or packet loss. Any level of head-of-line blocking severely degrades the entire stream, even for unrelated requests.

Sure it CAN work better than HTTP1.1 under ideal network conditions, but any network degradation is severely amplified, to a point where even for traffic within a datacenter can amplify network distruption and cause an outage.

HTTP3 however is a refinement on those ideas, and gets pretty much everything right afaik.
Interesting side effect of this:

Before - if 100 people took the test, there were 10 people in the top 10%.

Now - if 1000 people take the test, there are 100 people in the top 10%.

If we assume that most of the first 100 were already college track/high achievers/however you want to describe them, then you just bumped a significant chunk of those people into the top 10%. Obviously, some of the other 900 will also move into that group but - based on the overall average dropping - not a huge number.

Fundamentally, it causes another form of "grade inflation" but for the tests themselves. No wonder students apply to more and more schools. :(
>In that case we are walking video cameras violating people's privacy everywhere we go

This is actually not true in the US. So people should be careful and understand their rights.

In the US, the government affords us no expectation of privacy when we are in public. As soon as you step out of the hotel room you and your mistress went to at lunch, it's completely legal for a private investigator to snap photos or record video of you.

Basically, when you're out in public in the US, you have no right to privacy. So when people have amazon rings, or google glasses, or brain interfaces that record everything while they're in public, all that information is fair game for the authorities in any court action.
Usually:
07:00 - Alarm goes off
07:15 - If I exercised the night before I go get dressed(Got very little hair on my head, benefit: No more morning hair)

I stopped eating breakfast, I just drink coffee when I feel hungry until lunch around 11:30, doing this I actually feel more energetic.

2-3 times a week I head to the gym before heading to work, this actually is the best routine, you get to work all pumped up, full of energy and your brain feels like it is running on steroids!

I'm not denying ability to reform to anyone, they just will have to forthcoming about their past and persuade the other party that they have changed and to give them a chance. Definitely better than for instance giving child molester chance to molest another child, defrauder to defraud another victim and so on.

For those that don't know, Specialist is a rank in the army.

Each of the individuals being promoted are _already psychological operations soldiers_. They are just going from the rank of specialist to sergeant or corporal. This is honestly a non-story. Soldiers are being promoted all the time, this is just a single large ceremony to account for an organizational reshuffle for the PSYOPS corps, Im assuming.

From Web to iOS. Last Shout
Hey everyone,

We’ve spent the last few months working on our iOS app for PLACES (launching December), where you can collect, keep, organise, plan and - if you choose to - share the places that mean something to you.

Our web app has been live since January and we are now looking for final feedback before we commit new features to the roadmap for the iOS release. Can you spare a few minutes to help us out?

What are your biggest gripes with the current UX/UI? Are there any features you’d find really valuable for the app?

Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated. Thanks a mill, Bimble Team.

Here's some real statistics, and there is a relatively small difference between public colleges and private for-profit ones.

80.3% of public college students received aid in 2016-2017, with an average loan amount of $6584.

85.2% of private for-profit college students received aid in 2016-2017, with an average loan amount of $8048.

I wrote a pretty sophisticated longitudinal study app that's currently being used by a top 100 university. The front end is entirely in React.

I only have limited experience with Ruby, but tbh, I think I would feel more comfortable maintaining a front end code base either in Ruby or React, not both. Then again, I usually operate alone and my personal preferences definitely play a role.
I used to not understand why the SAT was supposed to be a predictor of how someone would do in a college program, but after checking the schedule of my college Chinese class and studying to memorize the material everyday, I've realized that the SAT is just like any midterm or final for a class, albeit a bit broader in subject. If someone studies for the SAT then they'll probably study for their classes. Then again I think I spent a total of seven different days (not 168 hours, just some time spread across seven non-consecutive-days) studying for the SAT, which is nothing compared to what I have to do now. If only I could go back in time and retake the test with my newfound knowledge.

>Why would the investors invest in something where they wouldn’t get a large part of the returns?

Why would you think the investors would get any less returns if the entity (say uber) was driver owned?

They wouldn't everything remains the same, except instead of a concentration of ownership in a small group of founders, that same percentage of ownership would be distributed among a larger group of workers.

So the real question is why are investors so adverse to employee owned enterprises and invest in small groups of founders.

> and illegal theft of your data

People are free to hide information or to take steps to obscure it, but I do not believe that anyone can own a fact.

Even if we were broadly in agreement that Right to Be Forgotten was a good idea, you still would not be able to own a fact. We sometimes create exceptions to people's right to share data and grant individuals/companies temporary monopolies over certain kinds of information -- the best example of this is IP law.

However, even someone who owns a copyright can't morally claim that they literally own the information. The state has given them a temporary monopoly in the interest of promoting public good, but there is no intrinsic moral right to IP that they can claim they have. Laws of this nature are a restriction of rights that we tolerate because of potential social benefits.

The system you are proposing goes far beyond the current Right to Be Forgotten.

> How would you like it if people sold information about you based on what they saw and heard you do in public?

People can already do that. They can go post on blogs or Twitter that they saw you do something. We already have a mechanism for indexing, searching, and dumping the contents of brains: fingers and a computer keyboard.

Right to Be Forgotten is controversial, but what you propose is much stricter. If Right to Be Forgotten tried to essentially make knowledge forbidden -- to make it illegal to write down your memories or post them online -- it wouldn't just be controversial; practically no one would support it.

All the more reason to give what you have to the actual law enforcement and let them determine if a crime has occurred.

Renewables are happening very quickly and have put several countries on a path to a zero carbon energy economy. Some of these countries are ahead of their own schedules. Most of these plans are based on current efficiencies and costs for renewables and do not take into account improvements that are coming. That makes these plans overly conservative.

IMHO clean energy will take us a lot further than just our current base line needs because of these improvements. For example, right now people are reluctant to install air conditioning because of the cost of energy and concerns about global warming. Cheap, plentiful, clean energy changes that. If house owners can generate all the energy they need for a one time cost of installing batteries and solar, this concern goes away.

Hydrogen will be popular for things like heavy industry, shipping and other places where delivering large amounts of electricity cheaply is needed and batteries won't be good enough. These use cases are far fewer than most hydrogen fans hope/expect and IMHO excludes most forms of four wheel traffic on the road I don't see a business case for installing massive solar infrastructure when EV ranges are hitting 400+ miles already with rapidly improving recharge rates.

Most of that hydrogen will be generated using excess wind or solar and the business case for that will be that that energy is so cheap that the relative inefficiencies don't matter. It will have to compete with other synthetic fuels because at that point fossil fuels will be no longer be cost competitive with that either. Why buy barrels of oil at 50-100$ each when you can just convert kwh + water + air into carbohydrates?

Nuclear is on a slow but steady way out. At this point there are only a handful of countries investing in nuclear and quite a few have non technical reasons for this (i.e. military ones). R&d progress has been glacial and cost is an order of magnitudes from being competitive in the current market already. In most places that still have nuclear, it's one of the most expensive options in the market and there are a lot of nuclear plants at risk of shutting down early because of it.

IMHO fusion might still happen in half a century or so. By then most countries will have shut down all remaining coal, gas, and nuclear plants. At that point it will have to be super cheap to be off interest.

The general rule for circular orbits is that the escape velocity is √2 times the orbital velocity.

At no point on the esacape trajectory can the object's speed fall below √2 times that of a circular orbit at that distance (or else the object would not escape.) At whatever distance you decide to set the controls for the heart of the sun, you must kill its angular velocity with respect to the sun (because, if it has more than a slight angular momentum, it will follow an elliptical orbit that goes around the sun.) Therefore, at every point on the minimal escape trajectory, the delta-v to redirect the payload into the sun is the escape velocity at that distance. With your strategy, the cost of sending the payload into the sun asymptotically decreases towards the cost of sending it on an escape trajectory.

Isn’t apple just gonna blacklist this somehow? I get that you’re signing the app, but it’s definitely against the TOS in some obscure way. It’s not as though they won’t know which Apple IDs are logged in to the phones this gets installed on, regardless of signing certs.

So on a team with roughly half introverts and half extroverts, you'd expect it to be a wash - only it's not, because there's a low ceiling to how much productivity you can add, and the noise from the productive extroverts drives introverts' productivity into the floor. It's net negative.
