The British Library's web archive[1] does similar archiving work, but limits itself to 'British' sites - in other words, sites with a .uk domain. I've had good dealings with the admins before, when I submitted some of my personal sites for inclusion in the archive.

Interestingly, the British Library uses web crawlers based on the Internet Archive's Heritrix web crawler[2], which demonstrates how important IA's work is for many other archival organisations' work.

Need Emergency Funds? 5 Ways to Earn Quick Cash When You're in a Pinch
Where I live, an island right by the mainland, birds of prey are not allowed. If one shows up, the crows will all take to the air, maybe fifty to a hundred of them, and will yell and chase the bird of prey until it leaves the island. Once it is over water, they will give a few last screams and turn around and go back to their business.

I've seen a bird of prey try to dive and swoop low over the land to evade them. They'll follow, some diving down low after it and some at a distance to keep an eye on it, until it's gone.

We basically have a crow air force keeping all the other birds and little mammals safe.

Yeah that’s a good technique: unfortunately yorwaba’s point applies for my situation — sending the hashed list makes it vulnerable to offline attack by enumerating the source data. That is, my partner can take my hashed list, generate all possible customer IDs, and then recover my full list.

If there were functions such that we could keep our hash functions private, and yet f(g(x)) = g(f(x)), that would solve it, which I guess is what the fancy techniques accomplish.

Here's another article about crow intelligence and crows in Seattle [1]. Some interesting topics from the article include crows have 'funerals', they can recognize individual humans, individual crows commute to the same specific areas during the day to forage and return to concentrated roosts with other crows at end of the day.

Living in Minneapolis with a home office overlooking the Mississippi River, I've noticed crows commuting in the darker, colder months. Hundreds of them at a time go up river in the morning, just as it's getting light, and then return down river before the sun sets. It's fun to watch.

"relentless innovation", or so the slide says.

The first part of the roadmap is particularly interesting. Heading into 2021, you will notice that Intel has a new, unannounced, process “10nm+++” (note the three pluses). This is a further refined version of its 10nm node. Presumably, this will be used for Intel’s Sapphire Rapids CPU which is also planned for 2021. Intel’s 10nm, including 10nm+, has been rather underwhelming as far as the performance goes with only a single SKU exceeding 4 GHz.
Can somebody help me figure this out.

Potential energy is only one component of the power required by aircraft. If you want to actually go somewhere, you need speed, which means drag.

Drag increases the square of the velocity. That means going at 500knots (as an airliner does) uses a lot more power than going at the 150knots this seaplane might fly at.

You can calculate an approximate power requirement for the aircraft based on its glide ratio [1] or look at the power based on engine thrust [2]. In all cases you get figures in the 14-80MW range (engines don't tend to be full throttle during cruise)

That means your 260Wh/kg battery would need to weigh somewhere between 54 and 308 tonnes to sustain an hour of flight. That doesn't include takeoff, which is only a few minutes but might reach towards 200MW.

For reference, the 737 (low end power calculation) max takeoff weight is 62 tons and the 747-400 max takeoff weight is 397 tons. So in both cases you're looking at basically 30 minutes of useful cruise with current battery tech.

The range loss is additionally confounded by the fact that current aircraft lose fuel, so lose weight, during the flight. This accounts for a not-insignificant portion of the range.

[1]: http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2013/ph240/eller1/
[2]: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/19569/how-many-...

So basically for electric passenger aircraft with even remotely comparable performance, we need a battery revolution. It definitely won't be by 2030.

Emergency Medical Technician here (from France). Disclaimer: I'm just speculating as I have no specific knowledge of what happened in this particular accident.

Depending on the height of the bumpers involved, I would suspect several possible problems: one or both femoral arteries severed; or both femurs fractured; or the pelvis fractured; or some combination of these.

Even if the arteries were untouched, fractures of both femurs or the pelvis cause life threatening blood loss as these are heavy bones which have major vascularisation (to allow blood cells generated in the marrow to enter the blood stream). A closed femur fracture is a 1000 mL to 1500 mL loss of blood (per femur). An open femur fracture is double that. A pelvic fracture can go to 5000 mL (approximately the total volume of blood in the average adult male).

In the field, major lower limb arterial bleeding can be controlled with tourniquets; femur fractures can be somewhat reduced with traction splints; pelvic fractures can be somewhat stablised with pelvic compression devices... However all of these scenarios are bad news for the patient and require rapid evacuation and surgical intervention (ideally in less than 1 hour from the time of injury) to have a chance of saving the person's life. RIP and condolences to patient's family.

Crows do this to some extent. They gather collective knowledge and pass it on to their offspring. If you act maliciously towards a crow, it will teach its friends that you are dangerous, and they will all warn each other if you approach. This will keep happening even after the original crows are dead, because they will teach their children that you are an asshole, too, even though those children may never have seen you do anything wrong.

I like the idea of walking around Prolog sometimes. But often it is used against its seemingly main purpose. What do lists do there? Prolog should be cool at tasks like: Pierre is french and never met a guy from 2nd floor at the stairs, Joe has french friend who smokes, Bob likes Alice and living under the roof, and Alice can’t stand cigarettes (and Bob); can Alice live in the same house if it has only 3 floors?

Lists though seem so unnatural to logic problems, the same way they emulate integers with lists in ‘too abstract’ lisps.

A poorly held secret in the semi industry is that transistors have stopped scaling at around 30nm - the practical limit of 193nm litho.

What has been scaling was the amount of free space in between them, metal layers, design rules, cell designs and such.

Before transistor scaling stalled, any process node shrink was an automatic performance gain without any side effects, but not so much after. Some designs may well be seeing net losses with process shrinks these days.

From 10nm on, higher density is actually hurting your performance, not adding it. For a process technologist, you have now to work on both performance, and density in parallel, and not solely on the last one thinking that gains in it will automatically translate into gains in performance.

So its a tricky business now to both squeeze more transistors into a design, and have a net gain from it.
So it’s marketing speak.
> Intel expects to be on 2 year cadence with its manufacturing process node technology, starting with 10nm in 2019 and moving to 7nm EUV in 2021

Not to say it could never happen, but given how many years Intel has spent on 10nm with it always been 'next year' tech year after year, 7nm in 2021 seems overly optimistic for me.

I guess time will tell if they got it right this time.

Brilliant article, I sometimes think the same :)
I had the pleasure of working with the API of a customer that wanted to expose a JSON/REST API to their existing XML/SOAP backend. Instead of going the sane rout and re-use the XSDs to serve as the structure for the JSON, they just made the JSON structure up on the go.

One child node? That would be one JSON object / value for you sir. Multiple child nodes? That would be on JSON array for you sir. No child node? No JSON type for you sir.

So what happened when the amount of child nodes was dynamic? You would either get: nothing, an object, or an array of objects. Oh the fun times we had!

Names with nm are just so called commercial names. They don't match from company to company.

Transistor density in millions of transistors per square millimeter is more relevant. For example: Intel 10nm is 101 MTr/mm², TSMC 7nm Mobile is 97 MTr/mm² so they are very similar.

The concept of race is not looked on favorably in anthropology anymore, anway. It's better to speak of ancestry groups, as this does not imply biological homogeneity the way 'race' does.

Race is as much a social construct as ethnicity, so the distinction between them was loose from the start.

A sample output (either XML or JSON) is not a substitute for a specification.

Looking at the XML when a list has only a single element, you wouldn't know if there could be more. You need an XSD to accompany the XML, which is what is typically provided.

When looking at a JSON document you might run into the same situation where the document you received doesn't contain all possible elements, and you wouldn't be the wiser. You'd still need a proper JSON schema to accompany the document.
