The fact is that adults don't take up a new nicotine habit, so it's no surprise that PM must market IQOS as a sexy, exciting "lifestyle" for young people. This is part and parcel of the industry they're in. They'd be doing it in the US, too, but for the strict regulations here which disallow it.

Don't IRC servers face the same issues of someone being able to read whatever you put through the service?
I guess the difference here is the scope of how many you can impact.

In order to get all Teslas who go past a sign on the highway, you just have to modify the sign slightly and everyone is affected (in theory).

In order to affect the same amount of people with your "brick through the windshield" strategy, you'll need a lot more manpower than just a sticker on a sign.
Not the OP but at this level (a trillion dollar company) there’s definitely a third-party involved. I don’t particularly see anything wrong with that per se (I kind of see as “wrong” the part where we have three or four companies which are worth close to one trillion or more, but that’s another discussion), it is just a translation of the “checks and balances” thing from the party- and democracy-level to the corporate level (which corporate level might use parts of the old system for itself, in this case presumably the AG office). It’s not an ideal situation if you compare it to what the Founding Fathers might have desired but it is what it is.
If that’s a problem, you can locate hundreds of small reactors together.
IIRC they did it in Star Wars for the space battles (but it is forty years since I read about it, so may memory may be playing tricks on me).
By this metric Google is corrupt simply by seeking a profit.
How about "Forcing consent before selling browser histories violates free speech, say ISPs"?
That is a fun fact! That means both isomorphic AND isometric are the wrong word for what BeOS did.... they did military/oblique coordinates?

It’s special because you get very smooth, very sharp diagonals.

I think they also compressed the vertical scale though so the proportions look a little more natural.
Yes ... the older Teslas have the MobilEye chipsets which use this technology. Many other cars use the same MobilEye chipsets today .. so potentially could be an issue in other cars as well.

Its likely now that this error was pointed out that Tesla may add some speed limit validation code to ensure a car doesn't speed up much when a speed limit jumps by more than 25% or something like that..
Exactly this. I also studied from his video lectures and I owe most of my understanding of the topic to him.
He has an amazing ability to intuitively explain complex concepts step by step.
According to the article, only when they engage TACC for the first time while the sign is visible, not if they were driving for awhile and it was already turned on.

Also note that TACC isn’t autopilot, one just controls your speed automatically, the other actually drives your car. It wasn’t clear if the flaw affected auto pilot as well, since it can’t be used for non freeway driving.
Right, the eurocrats threatened his family and political pressure is something that no politician should ever go through.
I don't have to stick around to put some tape on a sign, or change an electronic speed sign. A brick requires some presence.
Sometimes when I'm reading I'm just interested enough to keep reading. Then one of these pieces of garbage pop up and I immediate close the tab.
AVX offset is a configurable parameter with unlocked (K- or X- series) processors. You can run with 0 offset at all but the highest overclocks.

At some point it does stop being worth it though, because the power/voltage implications of 5 GHz AVX are so severe/potentially damaging to the chip. It is a lot of current and current kills chips. SiliconLottery does all their validation with a 200 MHz offset.
Great. Now do that. Scrutinize. Rather than complain. All three points the OP made are entirely factual statements. If you detect bias, please inform us why?
Wet streets don't cause rain. The reason that people are building large houses is not because they are richer. It's because the fixed costs of a house have gone up, and the marginal cost of making the house bigger are a smaller share of that pie.

Yes, you get more square footage for your money. Nobody's disputing that.

What you can't get, is a 1980s house at a 1980s * wage growth price. You simply can't. No such thing exists on the market. Building a 1980s house in 2020 is going to cost far more than it would have in 1980s * wage growth.

When it comes to houses, the analogy is that we're living in a world where the only new cars that get built are 24-seat mini-buses that cost a small fortune. And then people come in and argue that actually, cars are cheaper than they have every been, because, sure, the minibus is three times the cost of a 5-seat sedan from the 80s, but the per-seat cost is lower than it was in 1980s, so personal vehicles have become more affordable!

I don't care about the per-seat cost. The average person doesn't care about the per-seat cost. They care about the total cost of ownership.
Fair point about updates being a mixed bag. But “no ports open” doesn’t always mean safe. Maybe someone can pass some evil bits inside transaction metadata? (Disclaimer: no idea what I’m talking about w/r/t transactions, or how much parsing you’re doing)

"I genuinely want to do better if I should." I would have to respectfully call you out on that. You're main interest appears more to show how right you, or at least more right.

Also, your breakdown of the encounter is dishonest. You literally said "Surely" it was about political coercion. And you didn't even attempt to mildly address the allegations brought by the government against Facebook. Next time, you might want to use the world "might" or "potentially".

"Amongst all US companies that offshore profits, including the likes of Halliburton, Facebook has been singled out because the US administration wants the company to do it's bidding regarding policy and algorithms for political advertising"

So because other companies do it, it's okay for Facebook to do it -- that's your rationale? Not good, and all I see is a lazy attempt at utilizing "circumstantial evidence" that can't withstand the test of scrutiny. When cracking down on something, the government will almost always start with the big names in the industry to send a message. Why did you overlook that possibility, or why is that possibility less feasible? These are important questions that should've been asked and addressed.

Furthermore, the President has granted somewhere around 25 pardons; about two of those were actually controversial. The rest barely made headlines, and most haven't. You referenced this as part of your circumstantial evidence. Once again, this absolutely doesn't pass the test of scrutiny.

I didn't write your comment -- you did. Which is why I called you out on throwing claims out there, without even the slightest reference to any reasonable evidence. Throwing out overly-confident words and sloppily referencing acquittals, political reprisals, and talking about what you expect to happen is a good representation of an unfounded comment. Airbus just received the largest-in-history FCPA fine by the DoJ, totaling 3.9 billion. Is the President trying to bring them down as well? Maybe to help out Boeing? If I were to say, "Surely this is about helping Boeing", I would need much more than a couple of references to current events.

Lastly, I'm not a lawyer. Good day.
It should be said that he urged compensated emancipation in the states not seceded. He did justify this by comparing the cost of that emancipation to the cost of the war. But in his statements in general he was very clear that he thought slavery wrong.

When I said 'fizzbuzz-like' I meant a simple program that is representative of what we do in the organization. Fizzbuzz is supposed to be a simple challenge as far as I'm aware. Stuff like flipping bits with & and |, or knowing how to use preprocessor macros (since we abuse macros a lot). Or awareness of function pointers.

Coronavirus will be blamed for everything that happens from this point forward, but it will mostly be lies.

The economy has been breaking down in fits and starts for the last year. The yield curve inversion several months back should have been the wake-up call. The Fed intervention in the repo market at the end of last year should have cemented the consensus that recession and/or big financial troubles lie ahead. That doesn't seem to have happened.

On the other hand, the 30-year yield has been on a downward slope for the last 20 years:

https://www.macrotrends.net/2521/30-year-treasury-bond-rate-...

Recent history has shown that negative-yielding long term sovereign debt is no longer out of the question. The 30-year treasury could eventually end up with a negative yield. There are ways to make money from this, many of which end badly.
Agree. I don't buy the author's explanation. This is user-hostile behavior, straight and simple. No one is going to use uBlock to fix your website - they're just going to close the tab. Which is what I did.

Now I can finally feel like a smug eco-warrior by sleeping on the same queen mattress I used as a teenager.

In all seriousness though, these companies should make it easier to put their mattresses back in their box, especially if it means they could avoid something like this. I seem to recall my old air mattress could easily be deflated by running the pump in reverse, fitting in a tiny bag. Would it be too hard to have a re-compression pump that could be shipped back for a rebate with shipping included if you decide to keep the mattress? Re-compressing the mattresses would probably also make it easier to cram a bunch of them into some sort of extreme-temperature vault so any bedbugs or other pests could be exterminated before re-use.
You are right I am not an expert, that being said I have a confidence in my scientific background enough to weight a science as a whole, and there is no doubt that climate science is not on par with say physics or chemistry. I think this validates my skeptical position, until it matures into a more solid science that can make accurate predictions.

That being said, I am not an expert and I do not plan to become an expert, but I will remain skeptical until repeatable outcomes can be produced. Just because my post fits a pattern does not negate the need for those answers.

I will freely admit that I have developed a bias and my skepticism comes from personal experience with reef restoration and the sugar industry funding climate papers to deflect from nutrient reef poisoning. It has shown me that there is an agenda on the other side as well.

To note though my skepticism is more towards the predictive outcomes and not towards there actually being something to climate change.
Right, it's just that usually the concept with goods and services is that you're paying someone else to do it for you because you either can't or don't want to.
>fire a stream of hydrogen ions with a particle accelerator at a chunk of Boron 11.

This is what's wrong. The energy required to accelerate the ions is much higher than the energy which can be harvested this way.

The concept under discussion substitutes a simpler setup that accelerates particles using laser induced plasmas from a very small table top laser. The thing could "almost" be battery powered.

Yeah. (Most) humans are capable of reasonably gauging road conditions and adjusting the speed based on those.

It gets tricky. If people always have this right, then closed doors are basically not allowed. That's just not really workable.

That's hyperbolic to the point of seeming like farce.
It's not the same as option 3 because nothing is being removed from the site without a specific legal requirement. There are no "bans", and any user can see all content posted by other users if they so choose; the filtering is merely a suggestion. Option 3 involves the site removing unwanted content so that no one can see it, not just hiding it by default.

As much as I personally like this option, however, I still couldn't agree with making it mandatory. Sites should be able to choose which user-contributed content they will or will not host, without being deemed liable for contributed content merely because they haven't chosen to censor it. (Frankly the idea that anyone would be subjected to legal reprisal for the content of a post—whatever it may contain—is an affront to freedom of speech and an unjust, disproportionate punishment for a victimless "crime".)

I have the same feeling, with Elixir as my first choice and Clojure as the mistress, so to speak. It's weird to describe it in these terms, but finding both made me feel like finding a home 'professionally'. I'll happily move to other languages if it's necessary and I keep an eye on how things develop, but I've committed to both Elixir and Clojure when it comes to getting good at something. Because both made me enjoy programming again!
Pretty nice, but only supports one server.
We don't have much research on the subject yet so we really don't know harmful they are. I'd say it's pretty fair to say they are better than cigarettes but a big step to call them largely harmless. Your still running molecules over a red hot coil and inhaling it. At the very least we know that that creates large concentrations of free radicals that can damage cells. I do agree it's probably a lesser evil but we shouldn't forget that it is still harmful.
As the article mentions, the threat model here is primarily an insider one, with a "rogue" user leveraging this method to obtain capabilities the domain administrator intends to deny. There are certainly more effective exploits for an outside attacker to use, but that's beside the point.
From another article I read that he bought and learned to fly his own gyrocopter. I think he has the mental fortitude to hide a second copy of the private key somewhere else.
Hello from Texas!

There's a pretty long stretch of road between Austin and San Antonio that's 85 the whole way. It's not as big as the I-35, but the higher speed limit means it draws quite a bit of traffic for people traveling between the two cities.

Point stands: 85 is ridiculous in anything like a residential area.
I don't know whether this is a legit breakthrouhg. But technological progress is often a sigmoid (S-shaped) growth curve, it may take a while to get past certain steps but once you are through, money flows and more people devote time to that technology which accelerates the process. It is not hard to imagine, say, 20 years from now, we have power plants running on fusion given the interest we have in solving the climate crisis.
You can die from quitting alcohol cold-turkey, which is not true for nicotine.
It only works when this is the first sign TACC sees. If TACC was previously engaged and saw other signs previously, the exploit doesn’t work. I’m sure Tesla fixed this, but given the nature of the edge case, it wasn’t simply a matter of sanity checking.
Interesting read; what are good calculus resources that achieve Strang's outlook? I do know Strang has a free calculus book. I've taken calculus years ago and have forgotten most of it. I hated that it was taught to me in a rote way. I am looking for resources that teach the essence well similar to 3blue1Brown.

It would still be a lot more convenient to know that your documents have been accepted before you have to physically go to the DMV.

I've gotten real id licenses in multiple states as a result of moving, and it's incredibly annoying because you never know what documents they'll actually accept. You basically have to bring tons of extra documents in case they randomly don't like the way one of your documents looks (e.g. one state inexplicably didn't want to accept my birth certificate because it had an official seal on it). Otherwise you could end up having to make another trip (which could be even more of a headache if you're trying to reregister your car and are signing up for new insurance, in which case there may be a deadline).

That's not a fact. There are plenty of smokers who acquire the habit as adults.

Do a google search for "laser induced fission". Generating plasmas with CPA lasers is becoming more common, but isn't widespread yet because the technology is very new.

These plasmas can be the source for all kinds of particles and energy in particular forms, so they may have lots and lots of uses.

One person in particular is proposing to use a CPA laser to accelerate nuclear decay, to allow radioactive waste to decay faster and become less toxic more quickly.

Of course, my own concern would be that being able to induce fission with a table top laser means that the tech may eventually exist to create a fission or fusion bomb without a nuclear trigger....
Tech Experts Are Pessimistic About Their Industry
Unforested land burns too. It burns frequently, in fact. And it tends to destroy crops and kill people.

The scirp.org paper you linked, which was published in 'iBusiness,' a journal "dedicated to the latest advancement of Internet and Business," spent a bit of time railing against single-variable studies and then proceeded to make claims based on Google searches for statistics, then evaluating them in context of a single variable. For instance, he measures the slope of the fit-line of the number of wildfires, but completely ignores the size of those fires -- which has increased measurably since the 1980s. It's an easy mistake to make, especially since the author is not a climate expert, a wildfire expert, or any other kind of physical scientist -- he's an economist. I'm hoping it was a mistake, despite his footnotes being a stream of angry ranting about unnamed malpracticioners and assumptions about other people's motives.

This kind of surface-skimming faux-literature-review is extremely harmful. I'm confident in that assessment of your selection of this paper because you left the adwords UTM tag in your link.

A better paper to support your position would have been this one: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10584-010-9858-... which posits with some evidence that some forms of climate change may reduce burn fuel, via killing off vegetation that is sensitive to temperature change. Here is an example of the other side, which focuses on a specific bioregion and does consider both incidence rate and size of fires: https://www.pnas.org/content/108/32/13165

Both of these papers, incidentally, were referred in the very same fourth National Climate Assessment.

Please evaluate the qualifications of the people whose papers you read to inform your opinions.

Definitely not at all presumptuous when we call it now the climate "crisis." Nope, totally objective... [eye roll]
Ok, but then you don't need any special "right to education". You just need all usual individual freedoms (property, freedom of association, freedom of speech, freedom of movement, etc.)

We could just call that "liberty". There is no need to argue about some nearly-infinite list of "rights to X" when that is all covered by the simple idea of being left alone. But the moment you say that you in order to excercise your "right to X" someone is obligated to provide something to you, then you are back into the coercion game again.
It's disappointing to see from comments here that there's no true and performant Vim integration for VS Code.

It used to be the same thing with Eclipse and JetBrain's IDEs. Whatever Vim plugins existed were slow and falling into the uncanny valley, where they lacked support for many features or did things in slightly unexpected ways.

Torn between Vim and effectively Vimless IDEs, I chose to stick to the former and do what's possible to bring an IDE-like experience via plugins, though you still miss out on a lot in my experience, and any feature you want in Vim requires a lot more learning and configuring.

The promise of NeoVim was to provide true and complete Vim behavior in IDEs via its headless network protocol; but the indication here is it still hasn't happened.
Whether the issue is with the CPU hardware, the mainboard design (VRM, etc), mainboard BIOS, kernel, or the Prime95 app itself still appears to be an open question.

Based on oscilloscope analysis of the VRM output in a linked thread elsewhere in the comments it looks like the board’s VRM design, or its configuration by the board’s BIOS, may be the most likely suspect.

But there are less-researched reports of similar issues on other boards as well, which makes things a bit more murky.

Given the uncertainties there it may put some people off from buying into the TR/sTRX40 platform in general. But to offer a blanket recommendation to avoid is a bit premature.
