Wait... why can't you do that anymore? I charge, drive 2 displays, and have several chargers and USB devices plugged in just via the 4 USB-C/Thunderbolt ports. Is your complaint the number of ports or the fact that they're USB-C? It sounds like the specific benefit was only the variety of ports unless I'm reading this wrong...

I don't know about moralizing, but to me it definitely seems like some sort of strange deficiency in those who can't remember to water a plant.

And yeah, if you routinely kill plants you don't deserve them. That's my opinion though: plants are incredibly kind and generous and they don't hold it against you if you forget to water them. They are so sweet and gracious. We should all try to learn from plants.

Thinking about it, no human deserves a plant. They don't need us at all, but we depend on them utterly, even for the very oxygen we breath. We take them for granted, kill them without regard, treat them as things, ignore our duties and responsibilities. No sir, no human deserves the kindness of plants. How could we? Their love and care for us, their willingness to support us even in our darkest hour, is a pure gift, a gracious mercy, undeserved.

Obvious to me, irrelevant to the groups targeted by these wars.

In the WW2-era, the stakes were literal annihilation: a number of minority groups were specifically targeted for extermination by the belligerent powers, and many others were occupied under threat of extermination. Today, the stakes are that you face random drone strikes and your weddings get blown up. But there's nothing you can do about this: instead of "if you accept our rule, we'll let you live", it's "we're not interested in ruling you, die anyway". When wars are fought to make a point rather than to win, and that point has nothing to do with you, they're not going to change your behavior. So great powers and separatist/extremist groups exist in symbiosis, with each constructing and reinforcing the other in the absence of an external reason for their existence.
I would compare it to a brand new teenaged driver. I've had plenty of poor Uber drivers make the same sorts of mistakes that Autopilot makes. However, I'm surprised you had issues taking control, because a slight turn of the wheel or a quick brake disengages the system. However that said, Autopilot is definitely not safe or usable on city streets or in the rightmost lane of a highway, because of issues with lane markings. Source: I use it every day on the highway and I absolutely love it.
Macau has been a lot more strict with mainland Chinese residents. It’s not easy to funnel money into Macau and mainland residents are treated like foreigners. This has led to Macau not being a thorn in China’s side in anyway, as it is not a political or economic haven for mainlanders.

There is the question of what we are trying to optimize for.

If you are trying to attain maximum safety for a belted passenger, then no, current passenger seatbelts are not optimal. This is clearly evident from the far better seatbelts and driver safety devices used in motorsport.

Current seatbelts represent a tradeoff between safety if you use it, and how annoying they are to use (and therefore, how likely people are to get annoyed and not use them).
> One very good reason to regularly download backups of gmail

And anything else you care about.

People were bad at backing up local data, but what they're worse at is backing up data that is in someone else's hands ("cloud").

Recently I was listening to a tech podcast (Tweakers, Dutch) and they discovered how dependent the presenters were on Spotify for their entire collection of playlists and library that they spent lots and lots of time gathering and curating. The reason I don't have this problem is because I already had this problem: Grooveshark happened to me. My music was all on there, including custom mp3s that I pulled from Youtube. So after spending some time importing all of that to Spotify from memory, I used the API calls to export my data from time to time. These days, people have it easy: just run a GDPR export from the Spotify website. (That reminds me, I should still email the guys at Tweakers.)

I guess I also grew up with data loss more than average. As someone who wrote code from ~12 years old, but who didn't understand the rest of their computer well enough to take proper care of it, the family computer guy had to reinstall it a bunch of times and I lost data every time for different reasons (he also didn't really give a damn). And I overwrote an external hard drive once when I thought that backup software would just put the backup there, not clone the disk. And 000webhost cancelled my account one summer. And a hard drive died, then (I actually had a backup!) the backup hard drive was accidentally destroyed by my little brother. In that summer, I lost all code, school documents, game save files, browsing history, chat history, nearly everything I ever did digitally. Taught me a thing or two...

> Violence is entertaining on some level. Even cutesy games like Mario have him stomping on mushrooms and turtles and avoiding deadly obstacles.

Sure, but so are lots of things. It's just a cultural artifact of the west's love and expectation of violent solutions to conflict that we glorify this activity over others. For example, a game of Go is surely a conflict between two people, but unlike a game of Overwatch or the like it involves a lot fewer guns, bombs, and patchy plots about world governments authorizing unilateral violence.

> I've also heard it said that all good stories involve conflict.

This is a cultural lens. Lots of stories don't have an external conflict and they can be great. You know what's a great example of this? The Moive Jacob's Ladder. It was about someone reflecting on their life with pride and regret, not actual conflict.

People frame this, unsurprisingly, as "Man vs Nature". But we might as well also define it as "Human Overcomes Hardship." And that line seems much more natural. Surely much of our hardship is inflicted by our peers, but is it a deliberate "versus" scenario? I suspect not.
> Most of our top competitive games ... replicate some of the worst aspects of human society.

To be honest the two cases are very dissimilar.

What Catalunha "loses" by being part of Spain (not to mention what it gains) is very different from what HK gains and loses.

Sure, CAT have the right to protest for any case they want, but at a certain point there are laws and states (and last I checked public opinion on secession on CAT was not big on the separatists side)

IANAL but with my 10 mins of googling I've found the following:

* Items/characters cannot be trademarked unless they are the source of goods or services (so therefore this service would have the right whereas JK. Rowling et al wouldn't) [1]

* Items/characters are copyrighted when featured in a copyrighted piece of fiction (which Horcruxes are). [1]

* JK Rowling et al are crazy litigious [2][3]

* JK seems to endorse/praise fan collections of stuff, but the team come down hard on people trying to sell that commercially. [2] That does, however, seem to be for publishing books eg. fan fact books.

I'm waiting for the first race related incident to blow this topic up. A Tesla swerving around a white pedestrian but at the expense of hitting a black pedestrian will put an end to any justification of "costs one life to save others."

Edit: I'm not saying ai/ml will be racist (although it hasn't shown a great track record so far). I'm saying public sentiment, given the current status of media alarmism, is going to jump at the first hint of any sort of detection bias, whether it actually exists or not.

Side note, if you're ever in a store where you need a "loyalty card" to get the posted prices, but they let you use "alternate ID" like a phone number instead of scanning your loyalty card, try (local area code)+867-5309. Odds are good that someone already signed up for a card under this number.
And yet it is very useful to know what could go wrong. And that applies to building all kinds of things - software, companies, models, research, systems, etc.

> we'd treat it in the same way as the current investigation; find what changes are required to the model to make it consistent with the data

If that is how it is currently done, I have a big issue with it. It seems like the model is not being treated as a forecasting model but rather as a purely academic one ('if we make these assumptions and have these initial conditions, how does the behavior of the system evolve'?), while being sold to the media, politicians and the general public as a forecasting model that is assumed to have very strong predictive power.
You can send in a computer to Apple for a turn around of less than a week in most cases. Because they decided to go to a physical location, it probably caused a delay. I'm not defending the store in any way but that definitely isn't the best place to go if you know there is not a store in your area.

Well, just to provide a technological angle...

When the protests started hitting the airport, police started asking for boarding passes so that only passengers could enter.

Then, the protesters set up a Telegram group to share actual boarding passes from today's flights. Dozens of them were posted to the group.

Apparently the ruse worked, although from what I've heard, not for long. The police started matching the passes with IDs.

There is one processor per thread.

Sorry, the article must not have been clear. If you can point out where in the article you got the impression there were multiple processors per thread, I can try to update the article to fix.
What does that have to do with my comment?

Flash was a platform for games and video. Now we have much, much larger platforms with more contributors and more consumers. There's likely more than one order of magnitude more content being produced now than 15 years ago.

It's possible that the average level of creativity has gone down, but the amount of highly creative output has surely gone way, way up.

>reaches beyond their electoral terms.

Source? I would love to add this to my collection of knowledge...
From the article: "While it is possible to design a system where resources, tasks, and the processor all exist on a single thread, Tokio chooses to use multiple threads. We live in a world where computers come with many CPUs. Designing a single-threaded scheduler would result in hardware underutilization. We want to use all of our CPUs."
I agree. There's also a huge ambiguity in the term "homeless". This ambiguity was not an accident, I believe it is deliberate and is designed to serve a political purpose.

What I mean is, currently there is a large population of mentally ill and drug addicted people on San Francisco's streets, and many of San Francisco's residents and visitors are frequently berated, threatened, harassed, stalked, and even assaulted as they go about their business or vacations.

By "solve" I mean a humane and effective plan to greatly reduce this phenomenon. In spite of the intense and angry disagreements about what a humane and effective plan will be (must be?), I do think we (almost) all can agree on this as our objective. And in spite of my frustrations with Benioff, I do believe he sincerely wants the same thing I do.
