> the old Target Display mode which was unfortunately dropped from the iMac 5K

FWIW: It was dropped from that model because (at the time) there was no way to drive a monitor that large over DisplayPort. DisplayPort 1.3 would have supported it, but that was only announced a month or so before the iMac 5K came out -- the hardware was finalized long before that.

It is disappointing that Apple hasn't added Target Display Mode back to newer models, though.
Consumption drives a lot of valuable things. Like tax revenue, or research of semiconductor lithography processes which are later used to build medical devices and most other things. If someone consumes, someone on the other hand necessarily produces.

The other large driver to many of those things is war. I’d rather have consumption.
The opposite is happening. We're making the oceans more acidic.

To be fair, two points. One, DDG isn't perfect in all areas, and has lots of work to do. Their budget is a tiny sliver of what the google search teams is/was, and they are much newer. Some topics get better results than others, and that is to be expected.

Two, the others are referencing controversial opinion content in particular. They are saying that if the search is about something controversial or politically charged, the google result is noticeably lacking. This seems more concerning to many of us because this isn't just a newer search engine not quite up to par, this is the search engine purposefully pushing users into filter bubbles of Googles choosing!

I hope I cleared up the difference between what you are referring to and what the others are talking about. Anecdotally, I can confirm as a heavy youtube user (both web and youtube-dl/mps) that youtube search is also affected. Many searches for things that aren't even that "out there" return no results, even with the exact name of the video. If you don't have the actual link from somewhere else, you can't find it. I think what google is doing is dangerous and a very slippery slope. Many of my datahording friends have been on youtube downloading sprees because they are afraid google is about to memory hole important videos that don't exist anywhere else that is easily accessible.

ps. This is also the nice part of the bangs of ddg. Don't like the ddg results, just do it again with !gyear etc. (vs the google gui way, and I don't even know if googles daterange: operator even works anymore)
Pretty sure that was covered by the 'technically' part
Since this story is primarily interesting to Americans, the price abroad per gallon is more helpful.

In Germany, the average price is $5.87/gal.

The price varies in the EU, but mostly reflecting average income. No one is surprised that it's more expensive in Finland ($6.38) and cheaper in Romania ($4.32).

I don't think that would be a significant difference here.
What's your point?

No, but when we say "carbon emitter", we're talking about methane and other alkanes... and CO2.

CH4 is itself a greenhouse gas that is more potent than CO2 in the short term... and then it decays to water vapor and CO2 in reactions with radicals in the upper atmosphere.

So, it's overall somewhat worse than CO2 in the short term (since it's not just CO2), and equivalent in the long term?
I don't know anything about the folks behind that website, but a quick survey of the literature would lead me to expect a scientific consensus that the placebo effect is absolutely physiologically real.

Just to pick one particularly interesting study from way back in 1978, Levine, Gordon, and Fields [1] reported in the Lancet that naxolone (better known now as Narcan) can actually block placebo pain relief (in this case, in the context of dental surgery), implying that the placebo analgesia is mediated by actual physiological release of neurotransmitters (in this case, endorphins).

What a completely unexpected consequence of the restrictions on office space, spearheaded by John Elberling of TODCO. /s

He is now trying to make office space even more restricted, and his allies are working to reduce office space alternatively by raising the fees on office construction.

(More about John Elberling: http://sfbamo.com/news/tenants-in-todco-property-allege-abus...)

San Francisco prevents office space from being abundant and cheap, and therefore the office jobs are being moved to counties with even worse jobs-housing balance, turning San Francisco into a bedroom community for (the richer individuals working in) the peninsula.
The anti-Intel circle jerk has to slow down a bit. Intel management is terrible but their engineers have been delivering amazing features. Did you know nowadays the main performance bottleneck is memory latency? For 8 years Intel has the best LLC around and with a very fancy adaptive replacement algorithm. Also the recent release of 10th gen came with 50% more L1 and 100% more L2, plus AVX-512 with finally a decent subset even on mobile i3 chips. And there are a lot of other important details most people miss.
Thank you for the link :-)
manifest as one singular physical "file" with nothing incorporated by reference? Interesting.
An interesting idea is a “gas ratchet”: set taxes as a dynamic floor so that the price of gas never decreases. This would increase predictability for businesses, and lead to economic pressures to switch off of fossil fuels.
The original site has a video of rats driving tiny cars, the whole reason I clicked in the first place. The AMP link does not.
I don't want to argue, but it's up 15% since last year (if you bought/sold right you could've also make 400% since last year. I don't personally have anything in crypto, but am watching enthusiastically from the sidelines (and given it's down 23% in the last month is one reason why).

At the end of the day you have to look at it from a bigger picture. Since the next halfing is happening in a year, prices will most likely go up (speculation).

An oft-overlooked aspect of Fahrenheit 451 is that it's everyday people that report others to the firemen in the book, very similar to how content is censored these days.

Goodreads will list any book for the time being, even ones banned from Amazon. One example is The Culture of Critique - the link to Amazon goes to a broken page, but links to buy it from other vendors remain.

This is all about consequences of regulation.

People buy large SUVs because the fuel efficiency law encourages it. Calculations for CAFE involve the vehicle mass and the area of pavement surrounded by the tires. Large SUVs have an advantage in the calculation.

People commute an hour or two because of laws that make it unreasonable to move closer to work. Taxes would reset, fees would need to be paid, and so many people would get their cut of the sale.
Tails and Data Recovery
Hey! So I was using tails via USB and I wanted to create partion for my future linux...so i start deleting few partitions ( all were on same.drive, GPT with NTFS system files) but I deleted one too many. What is good software to run to try to recover deleted partiion? I DON'T want to to start windows so nothing with get 'override' data and loose my chance...what can I do from Tails level? Or there is some bootable software that I can run from usb to try to recover?
They can start to isolate and A/B test. Banks look for common merchants in cases of credit card theft... Seller A is a seller-in-common of 5 counterfeit goods, they're a likely candidate.

Even if you can't demonstrate it immediately, you can then start to bin out their stuff. High index that that seller is counterfeiting/selling it? Start un-mingling their stuff, internally - you don't -need- to physically verify authenticity, but if you're unmingling their stuff due to suspicion they're a bad actor and you keep getting complaints... probably a good sign.

> compounded by bad actors simply shifting identities

Identities have to keep getting paid. Start requiring ACH/EBT payments only for those actors (i.e. no more checks or whatever). They might be able to keep 'creating' identities - it might be harder to keep creating bank accounts.

San Francisco has probably the most complex payroll and gross receipts tax system of any city in the world. The calculator you're supposed to use is: https://sftreasurer.org/sites/default/files/2019-08/BT_2019%...

The item specifically relevant to Stripe is that it's categorized as a Financial Services rather than Information company. Financial Services companies have to allocate gross receipts based 50% on their payroll location and 50% based on their sales location. So while their portion of sales in San Francisco is negligible, most of their payroll is there.
From memory setting a UID to 0 was a way to effectively have multiple root accounts on a system. sudo is a much better solution to the same problem so using uid 0 in this manner is not something I expect to see on any modern unix/linux system.

Hollywood has unfortunately exported American-style black animus to the world, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if Japanese are more racist toward blacks than whites, especially American blacks. Also, the whole light-skin, dark-skin thing was never unique to Europeans. But relative to their general prejudice against foreigners any heightened prejudice might not be very discernible.
I'm curious how often the developers have to implement dark patterns, and other ethically questionable things. An interview from one of their backend devs might be somewhat enlightening, but I imagine all the most interesting bits wouldn't be talked about in an interview. How often do these developers find themselves at odds with business concerns?
Dassault Systèmes is like that : the CEO publicly said during the 2008 crisis that layoffs would be the absolutely last thing happening.

To some extent, I tend to agree. Sometimes we humans are a bit too attached to our stories, and when a computer shows us they may not be true, our instinct is to simply disregard the computer, rightly or wrongly. After all, it isn't as if we haven't all had computers be wrong several thousand times for ourselves, right?

But there is also an extent to which if my example did occur, it would still be flawed, at least with modern AI. Even if all these signals are in some abstract sense truly signals that you are a terrorist, in the real world it is still not correct to simply add them together, or whatever other simple operation the AI is doing. For all that deep learning may be cool, it's still got some giant, gaping holes in it compared to however human cognition works. Humans can look at say "Yes, even if those are all 1% signals, it really isn't sensible to add them all together." The current state of AI is not able to come to that conclusion, or at least, not well enough.

If that changes in the future, well, I'll update my beliefs as appropriate then. It's hard to guess the "cognitive shape" the biases of the next breakthrough in AI may have.
We think the remote culture we set combined with the natural fit of the product for developers were two key drivers of success here.

Fixing commingling doesn't involving solving the underlying bad seller problem. It just draws a line for savvy users between known-good sellers and the wild west.
No matter how careful you are, the service(bank, SNS and everything) you're using aren't. If you hand over them a phone number and they think phone number alone can identity you, you're done for.

The only solution is not using the phone. The phone reached it's limit. It's not trustworthy communication method.

Does jettisoning that weight have a tremendous impact on cruising efficiency?

My impression is that the main advantage of dumping a take-off battery is reduced landing weight, which is certainly an issue with existing commercial jet airframes. They can't land with a full fuel load without damaging the plane.

But I'm not clear on what affect it has on range/efficiency.
Example, yes please!
I remember the time where you could plan your route on Google Maps and save it to your maps. Obviously they removed that feature circa 2012 because it was too useful.
I have a hard time believing most of their payroll is here. Strip is fairly disturbed and probably has huge ops and customer service teams in low cost locations. Their payroll footprint in the city, while significant, will not be burdensome when it comes to gross receipts
Imagine a demon supervising the people and bots picking items for an Amazon order. If any of them pick an item from a bin also containing inventory from another seller (commingling), the demon puts the item back and removes it from the order.

I would like Amazon to, effectively, offer that demon as an option, to guarantee the provenance of an order's items. Of course, it might work better to filter commingled items out at search time, if that's possible, or put a big warning banner up on the product or order page when you might get your item from another seller's inventory.
And what about companies whose net receipts are actually small?

Push is not always more efficient than pull. Pull puts a lower limit on traffic but it also puts an upper limit on it, plus you get an extra health check.

No, the outrage is that accounting for gas taxes, the price of gas is still higher than what market analysis would predict. Newsom is studying why (eg price coordination).

Most voters supportive of the gas tax, including myself, voted because the revenue is improving road infrastructure and commutes.

Until electric cars are available for low income people I don't really care much for statements implying we should actively looking to increase gas prices for the sake of doing so.

Github is primarily Rails/MySQL (or was last time I paid attention to any of their blogs), I'm guessing they're storing dates as a TIMESTAMP and not a DATETIME (4 bytes vs 8 bytes).

GitHub's BigQuery public data set has 234,759,841 unique commits, and it appears there's 2 dates per commit (author and committer dates). So an extra ~1.8GB per master/shard group.

Entirely doable but I have no idea what their scale actually is or how that translates to network throughput or anything else really.
I see. Thanks. So the library-interface named "monad" includes the special machinery for programming monads. Libraries written in other languages could provide something similar, I assume.

> Is there a chance that someone on the same outgoing network as you is spamming heavily and you get also blamed because of it?

No. If you read beyond the title, you'll notice an interesting point that IP address itself is not actually blacklisted, it's the domain name that's blacklisted, and the likely cause is sending certain nightly log summaries to one's own Gmail address.

> I don’t doubt Google’s classification is buggy but there might be ways to route around these bugs.

So far, because it's the domain name that's acquired "the low reputation", the workaround is to use a secondary domain name, from the very same IP address, no less.

> It’s super annoying that these systems are so inscrutable.

Exactly. Apparently, they've introduced Google Postmaster Tools, but in order to get any sort of a useful information out of it, you're required to be sending an order of hundreds of emails daily. Who does that from their own personal domain name? (And into Gmail and G Suite, no less.)
