> Stopping sales of BrickArms is a no-brainer. IIRC firearms are notoriously difficult to reproduce as models, both physically and digitally, due to the aggressive IP lawyering of manufacturers.

Change the names to something generic. Problem solved. It's worked for dozens of popular video games, and BrickArms are much lower-detail even than those.

When Lego's stance was "we don't make violent toys, period," that was something I could respect even if it wasn't my preference. Now their stance is "we don't make violent toys unless they're more than 100 years old or from the future or from Indiana Jones," and it's impossible to take that as anything but empty moralizing. They have, again, made sets with Nazi soldiers and recognizably modern firearms. For them to now say they won't endorse "guns and things that are potentially particularly connected to things like warfare and violence" rings utterly hollow.
Do you know how efficiency and safety scales with power output and size?

If you're building a new power plant why not just install a bunch of A4W reactors that have been well proven instead of designing and building bigger reactors?
Is their name really important? The deaths weren’t from a bad programmer, they were from a lack of software quality methodology. The entire field of software quality assumes that all programmers will write bugs.
In some cases highly engineered products are not ideal for human health.

But highly engineered products are often ideal for:

1. Having a longer shelf life. (Ideal for countries without the same standards for food preservation)
2. Having yields large enough to feed populations.
3. Increased ability for transport.

I agree that there are gray areas, but it's these qualities that help feed a world.
Ran across this post years before I started playing with Forth (recommend the whole blog, he's a great writer).

Later I was going through a Forth phase and came back to it to tackle the puzzle it poses, here's my take on it:

https://mnemnion.github.io/blog/2014/01/12/those-dadgum-adde...

I hope this illustrates the raw power of the Forth paradigm a bit better than the OP.
That's a fair assessment, hence the quotations. My way of looking at it was from the corporations' perspective, who collectively have to spend more money innovating while having their margins squeezed. Thus in the short term, the harder everyone competes, the smaller the net profit "pie".

You're right that in the long term it benefits consumers, and possibly the surviving companies after competition has died down and they can enjoy the fruits of their innovation.
Question: I can drop Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Arch, etc onto a Core series whatever and get class-leading KMS/DRM graphics acceleration the moment the kernel is running, long before X11/Wayland start. So bootup is reasonably seamless, no flickering etc. Basic 3D works. WebGL is getting there.

And thanks to DRM, I can play around with alternative environments that talk directly to the kernel without X being involved.

So... if I get an AMD APU... how will the hacker/tinkerer experience compare?

This is super interesting, however I think it would have been more fun to read if it also had a column of approximate price in adjusted $CAD for example. That way it would be easier to get a "feel" for what stuff was worth.

Also, why isn't Salt on the list? Wasn't that a crucial thing?
Prices aren't -that- efficient. The expected cost of advertising is already baked into the profit margins for large companies, it only hurts smaller ones.
I would say for me that's a pretty reasonable estimate for microservice architecture applications / services, of course large legacy monoliths take longer but not more than say 15-20 minutes at most.
The IRS defines "beneficial owner" as "the person who is required under U.S. tax principles to include the payment in gross income on a tax return"[1]. Using that definition, you certainly would be a beneficial owner regardless of whether you can directly exercise voting rights or directly receive dividends. The indirectness is the whole point of the distinction between beneficial and registered owners.

I find exactly the opposite. I use adblockers, privacy badger, allow no third party cookies, and segregate google logins. It's pretty obvious from my google & youtube searches that they have no idea who I am or where I've been.

Funnily enough, it wouldn't occur to me however to use my own experience to make a sweeping judgement about what Google does in the large, because I just don't know. Even if I suspected, I'd be loath to confuse this with knowledge for the sake of my own cognitive hygiene.
Depends on the podcast maybe? The only ones I currently listen to are D&D podcasts so it’s not like I’m learning anything. It usually makes me want to do work on my own D&D campaign and be creative instead, if I’m not just enjoying listening to it.
Well from that roadmap, I see 6 core Comet Lake U (high end mobile) set for Q2 2020; we don't know how many cores AMD is planning for Zen2 mobile. If AMD sticks to 4, and Intel has 6, that's going to swing some buyers. The (leaked) Intel roadmaps tend to have more specifics than the AMD ones though.
What you're saying is a bit tautological in a way you may not intend.

What the paper describes is those research papers which aim at, that, giving a fundamental understanding of a trained neural network. That the papers are satisfied with "it works" stands in the way of anyone having this fundamental understanding.
Especially because torrenting was once slow and painful, so Netflix and co compared very favourably. Now, torrenting is fast and chances are you've watched almost anything worth watching on Netflix already.

Paying for a few of them might appeal to people who've historically paid for cable (or Foxtel/etc in Australia), but it's a noticeable cost otherwise. We currently subscribe to Netflix and Stan, but have dropped Stan in the past and may again.

> nobody is suggesting that opiods shouldn't be used to treat pain, are they?

If there's enough overreaction to opioid dependency, it does impede the use of opioids to treat pain. Making it harder to get opioids also, typically, makes it harder to get opioids to treat pain. Bureaucratic systems, put simply, suck.

Whenever you talk about the "opioid epidemic", a large part of what you're talking about is people buying heroin and fentanyl from drug dealers. Making it harder to get oxycodone does zero to stop people from buying heroin and fentanyl on the street. It does a hell of a lot to stop the use of oxycodone to treat pain.
"I'm not an economist but I've never heard of competition described as "negative-sum.""

It is obvious that, if competition is strong for a cake with a given size, that costs, e.g. for advertisement, may actually decrease the profits. While the size of the cake stays the same, the market players have less profits due to increased costs. So in the end everybody has a smaller slice. If I remember correctly, this has happened in a stagnant cigarette market where one player decided to increase his share. They spend a fortune on advertisement, as did the other since they don't want to lose their share. After some years the war stopped and everybody had more or less the same share as before, while having lost a tremendous amount of money on advertisement without gaining any benefit.

This may also be a funny example:
https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/31/nyregion/in-manhattan-piz...

"It's zero-sum because the consumer wins."

A zero sum game has nothing to do with consumers in this example. It means, the cake has a given size. If you want to increase the size of your slice, you have to take something away from another player.

A non-zero sum game would be were the cake (market) is growing. Every year you have a bigger cake. Then it is possible that you can increase your slice without reducing the slice of another player.

What's the point of efficiency improvements to a business without a consumer? They could be another business, but at the end of day a member of the public has to pay for it with taxes or post-tax dollars. Economies dont exist without consumers to consume what the producers produce.

Sure you could measure efficiency in widgets per human-hour but at the end of day, efficiency improvements do not happen in lock-step across industries so at some point you have to convert to a meaningful value dictated by consumers.
An important fact that is buried in the article: Nazi Germany never had plans to build a bomb; they only had an exploratory program which concluded that they should not. To say that a clandestine mission thwarted their program is ludicrous. The Nazis themselves decided that a nuclear weapon program would take far too many resources and abandoned it.

That's not to take away from the accomplishment of the Norwegians, just from the implication of the sensationalized title of the article and book.

Are you seriously comparing the iphone to a desktop CPU sold to DIY builders?

I’ve been sticking with Ivy Bridge-EN chips for my lab at home because used DDR3 RDIMM’s are dirt cheap, not to mention the chips and systems themselves. In a few years once used Naples gear hits the market I may consider upgrading, but I’m also quite fond of the low power draw my 2450L v2’s have.
To me it looks strong for a cpu release.
Can you use tree-sitter for things that are more complicated than syntax highlighting, such as reference finding?

I think that's just a property of the prescription system. Even if you were prescribed something harmless like anti-histamines it's still all-or-nothing, otherwise it would count as the pharmacy not honoring the specifics of the prescription.
A non-zero sum game would be were the cake (market) is growing. Every year you have a bigger cake. Then it is possible that you can increase your slice without reducing the slice of another player.j

I meant zero-sum in the context of this article. Have Disney+, Netflix, etc stopped growing their offerings and market size? Has everyone who can afford to signed up to all of them at the same time?

Yeah, I like that the arbitrary nature of non-meaningful names frees us from all these drawbacks and compromises. A simple system. But outside of strictly pseudonymous places like 4chan it erodes the concept of a unique username altogether. If you're always gonna type a display name and choose from a dropdown, why even display the numbers?

Plus, now that the identifier carries no meaning, you can't type "@realdonaldtrump ..." and expect people to know who it refers to, you'd have to type "@aae0450, Donald Trump ...".

No significant improvement in sight for Intel until 2021, while both TSMC and AMD yields and capacity on 7nm are going to ramp (not to mention Zen 3 and 7nm+ in summer 2020).

Not to mention, it's hard to get the top SKUs from both AMD and Intel, but something that costs 85% of Intel consumer parts and has 110% of the performance is readily available.

Popups got destroyed by better clients, so can ads in general if clients are able to be modified by their users.

The convention of using proprietary apps on mobile phones and TVs prevents that, but desktops where "all" content is accessed using the browser is already mostly free of ads, for those who are bothered by them.
The problem with using global variables (like this) is that it's not thread-safe. Many Forth systems supported multi-threading (each thread gets its own pair of stacks), even on resource-constrained systems.

Fission reactors (not RTGs) can be much smaller than an SSN. A Los Angeles class is 110m long but the Losharik is 60-70m long. And Status-6/Kanyon supposedly something like 25m by 1.5m, which is enormous for a torpedo but very tiny compared to an SSN.
I already told you that the market defining process is a very case-specific one and big techs now are unprecedented. Why are you trying to find applicable prior arts on such cases?

Maybe because I don’t believe that people can randomly make up definitions instead of citing precedent?

There has been multiple antitrust lawsuits and investigations on Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft for their gaming consoles while their exercise of monopolistic power was nowhere comparable to Apple's nowadays. Why don't you google just 2~3 words before making such a false claim?

Well seeing that Nintendo specifically has been very strict about what was allowed on its platform, forced third parties to use its manufacturing facilities since the 80s, forced all software whether distributed physically or virtually to be licensed and to pay a fee and had a much larger marketshare, where was the government intervention? Where were the consent decrees? Lawsuits?

Please provide one citation where any of the console manufacturers were ever forced to change their business practices?

If my claim is “false”, you should easily be able to find a citation.

This is an active area of interest in History of Science scholarship these days, which is steadily dismantling a lot of myths about how long peer review has existed and where it came from. It is in fact linked to the need to bring in funds from big grants agencies during the Cold War.

Revving engines too hard?? Please explain that, I am clueless about flying a plane.

The trick to save fuel in the short-term, ended up costing more in the long terms by means of having to replace engine?

Cheap/short-sighted pilots/IndiGo management or underpowered engine fit by Airbus?

..susceptible to mid-flight shutdowns.. - With the Boeing issue, I am trying to understand if passengers life were endangered? Who is to be blamed for the issue? Pratt & Whitney for making an engine that is not efficient or IndiGo for trying to act smart or Airbus for poorly designing a plane/insufficiently training(ipad training) the pilots?

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration hasn’t established any connection between the climb procedure and engine problems, she wrote in a text message, adding that the safety of passengers, crew and aircraft remains the utmost priority. - FAA let Boeing kill 2 planes of people and only stopped them after rest of the world grounded the flight. It's not comforting to quote them to assure safety.
