German subsidies in the 2000-2010 decade almost single-handedly financed the improvements in solar cells that sees them competitive with even coal today.

And because the environmental goals had higher rank than economic and selfish ones, they did not enact trade barriers, or lobby for them on an EU Level, even when it became clear it would be Chinese manufacturers reaping the profits of mass production.
Sorry, 'science is held back' is the correct term. Thank you.
From my understanding, they're making the green thread API be very close to the current threading API, so that you need minimal changes to make them work. If I'm not mistaken, if you're already using an Executor, it's just a matter of passing one or two extra parameters when constructing it to make everything seamlessly use green threads.

Even with mixing and matching, current systems can already run thousands of hardware threads, so I'm not sure it will affect performance or debuggability in any major way.
Let's not speculate about intent. Fact is that structures holding equipment rather than structures holding people were struck. This explains the lack of casualties

They asked why people prefer smaller boxes. People prefer smaller boxes because they don't have much room in their houses. This is reality supported by for example Google's advertising approaches, which I guess is supported by data.

Then you're probably not looking in the "performance-oriented" category.
have been in the contractor side of this, and have had a couple of contracts written with me in mind, but... one had a twist.

Used to do tech training. Had a syllabus up on our website - "onsite training with topics X, Y and Z". A school put out an RFQ on this, and essentially used our syllabus (basically word for word). We'd talked on the phone - they wanted us to come there and do the training (relatively niche at the time).

Someone else submitted a bid using our syllabus and "won" - they were local, and so didn't have to include travel costs, and were 'cheaper'. They didn't have our material, but... were the "lowest bidder" so had to be chosen.

I've also had a couple projects 'single sourced' to me via govt purchasing process, and it always raises some eyebrows, but I'm generally the only contractor who would be qualified (because... I wrote the system years ago, it's very niche, not much budget, old tech, and no political will to pay to move it to something modern).
Iran's military has been very intelligently shaped to maximise its ability with limited resources against the threats it's most liable to face.

If Iran had focused on developing the best tank force or air force possible, would it make a difference? No, Iran's most likely enemies are either the US or a country supplied by the US and the best Iran could produce would still fall short. They would certainly lose a conventional war.

So Iran has focused on developing asymmetric warfare capabilities. Their very large infantry and special forces mean any invading force will have an extreme insurgency problem to deal with, which could keep any enemy bogged down in a bloody and expensive war for literally decades. And their ballistic missile force can target important economic, military command or political targets, adding another significant deterrence.
If they had his hardware for a year I don't think they would need him to trigger a hidden payload.
Try pointing this out in Germany. Most people have no idea what kind of electricity they are actually buying, apart from choosing a greenwashed energy provider and paying through the nose.
If you have a bunch of gas infrastructure leaking constantly, the powerful methane is actually far worse for climate, molecule for molecule, because the methane level will equilibriate high and cause constant high warming as long as the infrastructure is operating and leaking.
Lemme be blunt. Some people believe that since this happened at a time military tensions between Iran and the US were escalating, the plane could have been taken down mistakenly by a trigger-happy general as a false positive.
A better question is how difficult is it to make a living farming? Instead of commercial vs residential farm %s.
I think Linus is very focussed on the stuff he cares about

I think he'd be the first to agree with that.

PAE, which is pretty invisible to use userland folk

Perhaps, but the original conversation is about architecture, and PAE was a pretty grungy architectural wart, and the sort of thing that's very visible to the OS folks (as you say, what Linus cares about).

we really wanted at the time was cheaper DEC Alphas

There were 'cheap' Alphas: the 21066/21068 like in the Multia. But they were dogs; to be cheap, they had to give up big cache and wide paths to main memory. Expensive system support level stuff was required for fast Alphas (complex support chipsets, 128-bit wide (later 256-bit) memory buses). More commodity inertia would have fixed that over time, but they never got there. Intel on the other hand was way down the road reaping commodity benefits, and it ran the software commodity folks wanted.
“Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.”

― Arthur Schopenhauer

edit: it's easy to read this pridefully yourself ("i have other things to be proud of and therefore i'm immune from such petty things"). i think the most significant part of the quotation is the last part - you can derive pride in direct proportion to how invested you are. most people (those that aren't nihilists) have such things that function for them in exactly the same way. it's ultimately a sublimation urge -- we prove ourselves insofar as we sacrifice. if nationalism vexes you then i challenge you to reflect on your own loyalties/commitments.
Getting better at lying to law enforcement is probably not the right lesson to take away.
> Partly because fracked gas is cheap.

Indeed. It's easy to look at a 2% drop and pat everyone on the back for buying a shiny new Tesla and installing solar panels on their roof but the fact is the drop is just because per unit mass Gas has a higher concentration of Hydrogen and less Carbon. I mentioned above, the current situation with Gas prices being driven down won't last forever. Not to mention that there is plenty of controversy around fracking to start off with.
The current computing paradigm is all about "data entry", you are your own "sysadmin". Slowly enriching others by working for them. Yes saved time is valuable for you, but also, you create value for "them". We have moved from mainframe to phone with very little design change. The current wave was about convenience. There is a coming wave of redesign that is people centric. Interfaces will be vastly different. This article is just a lack of imagination.

Of course the massive irony is that if it was accepted as true the rationale in itself is a "High Arousal Emotion" to manipulate into accepting limitations and seeing nothing wrong with them. It doesn't technically mean it is wrong (Fallacy fallacy style) but I find it reason to be suspicious.

Right or wrong with the First Ammendment it isn't exactly precedented in the best of ways as the closest doctrines were abandoned for good reason. Fighting words and vague definitions of "inciting a riot" which mean "the mob really doesn't like you" instead of "calling for them to murder/burn something down". There is false advertising but that framework would be far more limited by design. Even if considered a good idea it would call for its own constitutional amendment.
The Frankish kings were a small minority of rulers and did not actually leave much Germanic influence.

The modern French culture is a direct descendant of Gallo-Roman culture, which is basically Roman culture with a little Gaulish influence.
Burning natural gas is definitely better than burning coal. But unburned natural gas is a much worse GHG than CO2, so if they leak too much when extracting, it could cancel the “climate savings”. (Would still probably mean less noxious air though.)
At the time I wrote my comment there was just 1 comment. Specifically about Sonos acquiring an AI speech startup which wasn't mentioned in the article. This was information enough for me discarding Sonos POV around what you call bullying.

I usually read the article first, the comments second and write something when I think I have something to add to the discussion.

> Wyoming

Wyoming is not an international political entity. I also wouldn't expect americans to reliably locate Montreal, but they damn well better know where Canada is.

It's an indicator of the sad state of affairs, that most "voters" (presumably those that voted in the presidential election) cannot locate a country as important as Iran. Are you kidding me that you think someone voting for president should have such little knowledge of the world?

This is why (eg) climate change is an insoluble problem. The masses don't know and don't care.
Back in late 2003 I was visiting a friend in Florida. News was filled with the war on terror, with the invasion of Iraq starting a few months earlier.

He introduced me to his neighbor, who asked where I was from. Norway I replied. "Oh, hmm, we haven't bombed Norway yet... where is it?"

After a moment he added that he was only half joking, as a reference to the geography lessons he had received at school and the news coverage.

It's absolutely correct as they both originate from the same place: The need to understand reality. They just took different approaches. Both have a lot to give to one another. I mean religion in a general sense. Those that say otherwise are too focused on one side and ignoring the other. Both of them have distortions, dogmas and bs of course.
So Soleimani = "Man from Iran"?
I get what you're driving at, but unfortunately with auto-updating game platform delivery systems like Steam, this is sort of the way the world works. I'm sure there are dozens of MMOs with the same arbitrary code execution.

Hell, if you're using any browser extensions in firefox/chrome, you're effectively open to the same vulnerabilities. (which did in fact happen, somebody's Chrome dev account was hacked and malicious code was injected into the extension which affected all end users).
I think there is a strong argument to be made that having the US police the world, in the name of democracy, is not great if a large proportion of the voters are not educated enough to make rational voting decisions on such issues. And geography is a fairly fundamental part of understanding geopolitics. Arguing the other way around also isn't quite the same thing, partly because Iran doesn't have military bases in Canada and Mexico.
Also a riff on Chinese noodles.
"People make cheats for money, for online infamy, and for the challenge of it"

In all seriousness, I think there's a non-trivial aspect to it where human psychology is misfiring in the modern era. Certain people, mostly younger, have a drive to show off to potential mates, some more so than others, and superficially, spending lots of time creating cheats like this looks like it's leading to social approval and standing. You get lots of "thanks" and "kudos". But in reality, you're getting nothing. It doesn't work. People are willing to use the output, but whether rational on some level or not, I don't think you are really getting social credit for it, and even to the extent you are, it's far too widely dispersed to be any good. (That is, it may not exactly be useless to convince a million people to think slightly good of you, but harvesting that for any benefit is really tricky, whereas conclusively convincing someone you are a good person can be beneficial in all sorts of ways and is the basis of any number of relationships.)

In grad school, I worked on an open source LCMS that spent a lot of time fighting people helping other students cheat on their homework. Instead of just solving their homework problem, the cheaters would solve the whole meta-problem (all the variants we might serve) and hand out the meta-solution. This requires a great deal more effort than just solving the individual problem alone. What was funny to me is... I don't think it actually got them anything. Nobody cares. They'll use your solution, but for all that work you get very little real social currency. The majority of your "customer base" is getting it from their friend, who got it from their friend, and the origin of the cheat isn't even known by probably the majority using it. Same sort of thing.

Unfortunately, this is effectively unsolvable. By the time you hypothetically educate one group that this isn't useful, next year's group is already here.

(Also, to be clear, I'm not saying this is all the reason, merely a less-explored one, and a sufficient one on its own to be a source of significant cheating.)
Most of the calcium you get from milk just ends up getting pissed out. they've measured this many times and found that the body doesn't even absorb most of the calcium from the milk. You can get calcium from many many many sources: nearly all the fruits and vegetables have it in abundance.

This will shock you, but It's a fact that no animal produces it's own protein. Protein gets produced in Plants, that's where it comes from. Animals get their protein from plants. If you get it from a cow through milk or eating the cow meat, your just eating 2nd hand protein. Look at all the strongest and biggest animals in the world: Apes, Gorillas, Cows, Elephants, Rhinos they all eat plants and get nearly all their protein from plants.

Milk is actually terrible for your bones. There are many studies showing that it is linked to increased bone fractures in elderly people and also linked to increased cardiovascular risk.

I know this all sounds shocking, but if you want to know the truth, you should watch "Forks over knives" or watch "What the health". both can be found on netflix.

"Men were about twice as likely as women to be able to identify Iran on both maps"

Wow, that's unexpected. Is there some credible source on why this is the case? Also curious if this is generally true...would you get the same result if they were asked to identify Belgium on a map?
It's a bit sad when one of the best reasons to buy a product is that the previous version sucks after 1.5 years. We are not making great incentives for manufacturers to make lasting products.

> We don’t need to do anything.

The incredible irresponsibility here really earns the downvotes.

As other commenters pointed out, the US still #1 in cumulative emissions, so the warming we see today and for the next ~10 years is mostly due to the US. Second, the US is absolutely terrible when it comes to per-capita emissions. This is not an example for the world to follow. There is zero moral high ground in telling developing nations to cut emissions and yet gluttonously continuing BAU. If they follow the same carbon intensity curve, the planet is absolutely f*ed. The US and western countries have an obligation to demonstrate how to run a complex developed economy with low, or eventually, no emissions.

Not in general, VLIWs work great in DSP architectures like the Hexagon. They tend to fall down in the presence of unpredictable memory accesses, though, and while Itanium had facilities to try to mitigate that they didn't work well enough.
i think it's basically consumerism. i'm running a processor that's 10 years old with some RAM and SSD upgrades throughout the years. it's perfectly fine for daily golang/java/scala/haskell work.

a coworker of mine has a generation 2 ryzen which runs games like factorio perfectly fine - big setups (according to him) are pretty smooth. no GPU. he says he hasn't yet found any games that can't run fairly well on it yet.

it's funny because desktops are now basically the thin clients we thought we'd all be using in a futuristic tech setup, with the actual work being done on "the cloud". your desktop isn't fast enough to do any real "work" other than some unit tests, compiling, etc.

I don't think being able to accurately tell where Iran is is a requirement for wanting to kill someone from there, no. Knowing approximately where it is is useful, but what does it really matter if you confuse it with the next country over?
The retired general who was Central Command leader at one point said their missile tech has become highly improved in the past few years. Here they missed on purpose.
I don’t know if a majority of Americans could find Wyoming on a map or even know it’s capitol, so that’s probably a bit unfair ask.

I’m not sure what’s offensive here. Given the current geopolitical climate, I do think certain politicians are trying to provoke a Iran into a bigger war and these folks, who couldn’t identify the Wyoming on the map let alone Iran, are ready to support said politicians blindly... but I digress.
There's never been any disclosure of AirPod margins, it's lumped into a big group of other products including Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Beats. Based on the slow production ramp up of the AirPods (they were selling them as fast as they could produce them) and competitor pricing on competitive hardware, there was a lot of conjecture that for the first year or so AirPods were sold at break even.

Of course, that was nearly 3 years ago so it's almost certain margins have improved on what is essentially the same product, but I suspect Apple's margins on these are not as high as for the iPhone or iPad.

Spotify's big problem is they sell a product which is 99% commodity. Anyone with enough money can create a music streaming service and all resellers pay very similar rates for the same content. Apple Music, Amazon's music, and Google's music all sell the same essential thing. Spotify's only chance for turning their product into a premium (thus profit generating) service is building a significantly better playlist and music recommendation service.
Yes, I trust a bank that can't properly spell "launching."

When you're trying to get into financial transactions, details matter.
Making RTL portable, so it can be used with different toolchains, is certainly possible -- and how/why you do this is, like everything, is an engineering tradeoff. Sometimes when you write C code it's easier to just use Linux features and not care about portability! Sometimes it's very easy (or very desirable) to keep portability for your code, which might be easy (use the standard library) or hard (use lots of #ifdef or whatever.)

But, unlike portable C code, to run designs like this on real hardware, you need to do things like describe how the physical pins on the FPGA are connected to the board peripherals (for instance, describing which pin might be connected to an LED, vs a UART). This generally requires a small amount of glue, and depending on how the project is structured, some amount of Verilog/VHDL code, as well. It's not like saying "cc -O2 foo.c" with your ported C compiler that has a POSIX standard library.

This is just the case if you're using the same base FPGA, but with different board layouts. Using different FPGAs (for example, a current-gen FPGA by vendor XYZ, vs XYZ gen N-1), or especially when porting between vendors -- the details can become vastly more complex very quickly.
Thanks for the education :)
Yeah. They probably paid for completion of the poll, and completing the poll required some selection of a location, so a ton of people did exactly that without even reading what the question was.
>With wired headphones, people can keep them for years, decades even.

With quality over-ear headphones with easy to replace parts ? Sure.

With in-ear earphones? Depends on the user. Many people I know tend to break/fray the cable or lose them atleast once a year. Most in-ear earphones were used as a semi-disposable item.
You should first consult with an attorney before making any statement to the police, much less handling over incriminating evidence. I'd rather keep the option open to fight over it in court than just giving up the key and hoping that the police will view it in my favor. Also, encryption is a must in case of theft.
The interesting bit about that is that "Alesia, and nobody knows where it is" as a theme in Asterix is actually biting satire on Vichy France. Very little in Asterix, until Goscinny died, is about Gauls and Romans, it's pretty much all about taking the mickey out of contemporary France.
How did I know the first comment was going to be some variation of "Ignore the data because the US is doing bad things and making the problem worse." Not everything is bad data or a conspiracy, sometimes it actually is progress, so stop whinging and take the fucking win for once.
