I don't get how this solves anything, regardless of the legal or racist accusations already discussed.

The aim is to surface black-owned restaurants. But the solution is to remove the delivery for those restaurants. Do they have a filter for restaurants with no delivery fee? Are they also tagging the restaurants to make it obvious which are in this scheme?

Secondly, how do you determine which restaurants qualify? Is it just applied to independent businesses or is it something larger chains can game as well? It seems full of holes at the foundation.

The whole thing screams of a marketing department that think they should do _something_ to make it look like they're supporting protests but put in the tiniest amount of effort they could manage.

Picking a fight with a national telecom regulatory authority from a country other than your own seems like a poor business choice. Their customs people will seize all your products and Boston Tea Party them. They'll probably keep doing that even after you fix the problem.

I wonder: is there a dialect of English in India in which this post follows rules of grammar? I found it uncanny-valley hard to read.
It offers instant exchange to most currencies at official bank rates, physical and virtual cards and exchanges to major crypto currencies. It's very easy to use.

If they break law in some countries when firing people, I'd expect for law to kick in and the situation to be sorted at the court level in those countries.

If I wanted to close accounts for all banks that did bad things, I'd have to close all my accounts in different countries.
I bought a bunch of Micro USB cables for the same reason. Most of the ones I had on hand didn't have data lines as they were only for charging, which can be fun to troubleshoot as devices connected to the cables just don't show up.
My guess is if there wasn't a Lighthouse score, the focus would be on another singular metric instead, like First Contentful Paint for web performance. The score, while imperfect, helps at least to have a focus on something that weighs multiple metrics.

As an industry, I'm wary of having a single company define these scores. It seems like a conflict of interest. I'd rather have this in control by a standards group.
I think GP's point was more that it's just shitty tactics.

Compare the MPS de-escalating the protest in London today;
https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1269315641217073152

Officers move in a clear way, they do not pre-emptively arm themselves, they do not get hung up on non-violent stragglers, they take their time.

There have been two days of protests in London which are explicitly anti-police, have been very passionate, have had flashes of violence, but have NOT escalated.

Aside from the racial aspect, a lot of videos I've seen from US recently have just been crap in a professional sense.
Nothing wrong with having one number to call for help. The problem is when only one kind of responder responds. That happens because we have too many armed, bored police and too few of other kinds of social services.
You need to maintain millisecond sync while the devices are widely separated, possibly for hours. Cell phone clocks are not millisecond-accurate over hours. The idea is that a group of people all download the app and walk or drive around the area of interest collecting time-stamped audio and sending it to a server.

Amusingly, data collection would be easier with analog technology. Get some VHS walkie-talkies, and, at the base station, feed all the channels into a multitrack tape recorder like musicians use. No sync problems.
It doesn’t surprise me at all that bugs were found in SMT Checker. I recently wrote a blog post on how Solidity’s model checker works, and stumbled across several bugs while attempting to write simple example contracts. I didn’t even need a fuzzer :).

That area of the codebase is far from complete, which is why it is considered experimental and hidden behind a flag that you have to manually enable.
This doesn't really surprise me. The Java toolchain has always been a bit painful to me, although I come from the world of .NET where we were able to learn from Java's early mistakes and settled on a fairly simple toolchain.

But even in our world we still have some level of package hell, typically in the form of version redirects.

Anywho, back to the case of Android, it seems as though nobody ever thought about what it would be like to rapidly iterate the way google does on a toolchain that tends towards liking things to stay in place.

I think it's one of those things where it sounds good as an idea but breaks down in implementation.

"Let's design a port/interconnect standard that does everything" is great in concept, but one manufacturer or another is going to leave out bits in the cable to keep costs down or not implement something in their device-side firmware. You end up with the situation we have now where there's insane levels of fragmentation, and you can never be quite sure whether two things are going to work together or not.

It’s almost like saying “640kb of memory will be enough for everyone”. :) Instagram, YouTube, and a wealth of other apps which are a large part of our lives now were enabled largely by 3G/4G — speed of data transfer over GPRS/EDGE was just abysmal. And I can’t even imagine what kind of apps we’ll have with lower latencies and higher data transfer rates of 5G.

Pi-hole uses dnsmasq [0], a caching DNS resolver (among other things), and includes its own customized configuration files for it.

With that level of control, Pi-hole has the ability to redirect you anywhere on the Internet that they want.

We all hope that the folks behind Pi-hole would never do such a thing -- but they do have the "option".

How do you get this number? Googling a bit, the D-T reaction produces 17.59 MeV per helium atom, so it should yield

17.59 MeV / (helium-4 atomic mass) = 0.117 TWh/kg

in thermal energy per kg of helium produced. The U.S. electricity production in 2019 was 4,118 TWh [1] and 4118 TWh / 0.117 (TWh/kg) = 35,196 kg.

If we assume some inefficency in the thermal->electricity conversion, I guess it should produce at least 70,000 kg/year.

I hear this all the time. I was just talking to someone about it. It’s not everyday but it’s frequent. I hear it mostly in the morning and at night.

It’s always the same length, about a second. It’ll come in pulses of 2 or 3 usually. Spread out a few minutes a part. It definitely sounds like an electronic sound. Almost like a sci fi satellite sound but deep in the water far away. Or maybe a far away whale mourning or something.

I just traveled for 3 months and heard it spread across 10 cities.

It’s very weird...
Why would they want to do that? They have the money to play the game... it's startups and disrupters to their business who don't have the money to do it. When the day comes when a startup challenges one of these companies, one of two things will happen: they'll be forced to sell or they'll get sued to oblivion. Just the threat alone keeps startups from operating in their space and getting investors, etc. These companies don't want to compete with you.
There is also the angle, rare as in practically relevant to us. Too low percentage, a human will never come into contact with a not even single photon originating in these worlds.
So funny to hear your story about your canoe trip. When I hiked the AT in 2002, I spent the first several days having the same experience you had.

Two laboratories recently used cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule with a resolution of about 1.2 x 10-7 millimeters or 1.2 ångströms. The previous record was 1.54 ångströms.

this allows a mapping of the molecular interface cloud to a resolution depicting individual hydrogen atoms in the interface region of the protien with surrounding water.

The second law of thermodynamics says that the energy of reducing the wind's speed has to go somewhere. It's either going to push the bridge around, make noise by generating vibration, generate electricity as in a wind turbine, or some combination of the three.

But that's obviously not what people mean when they criticize something as being "political". The negative connotations of the word include people having double standards based on identities or group affiliations, being disingenuous about one's actual values and motivations, abusing relationships and partnerships to further an often hidden agenda, etc.
I don't recall asking you for what I should or should not do. And in any case, I'm not "dismissing" people who are angry or upset. The case looks pretty clear cut to me: George Floyd's death is tragic and those responsible should be prosecuted. Literally _everyone_ agrees with this. Nor does the article "dismiss" anything. The article presents the most viable, adult way out that I have seen suggested thus far.

The fundamental truth of the situation is that you can't disband the police, and "defunding" it, partially or fully, is not a serious solution to the problems we face as a society. Anyone who suggests this with a straight face doesn't want solutions, they want to continue to be angry and upset.

We can (and should) reform it. We can (and should) train it better. We can (and should) hire better people to work in it. We can (and should) fire/prosecute bad apples faster where there's evidence of wrongdoing.

You CAN'T DO any of this by stigmatizing the police profession or reducing funding. It's not a serious suggestion. You also can't do that by burning a police car or looting a Target. I hope these truths are self-evident enough, but if not, I don't know what to tell you.
Sometimes they do, very successfully. Several prominent tech companies backed efforts to neuter patent trolls in the prior decade, to positive effect. Patent trolls are one instance where big tech's interests are largely aligned with smaller tech companies, as both hate them.

In the recent case of TC Heartland vs Kraft Foods, some large companies (Apple, eBay, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Walmart) supported the effort to abolish being able to file patent lawsuits in most any venue (a concept which helped lead to East Texas becoming the capital of patent lawsuits in the US). Often you'll have big companies fight eachother in situations like that, as big pharma was on the other side of that, arguing in favor of being able to sue in any venue.

One of IBM’s most important patents was filed around 1987–I don’t remember the date exactly-it covered the cookie.

Even back then IBM was subject to patent trolls patenting things like using the ctrl key, etc. and then going after IBM. They liked having a huge collection of patents and even disclosed inventions that were not patented but instead published in a publication (I think it was called something like The IBM Invention Disclosure Bulletin) that was available in only a handful of public libraries, like the New York public library. That way if they wanted to use a technique that they had already disclosed they could use these publications of proof of prior art. I filed a few ideas that they said they weren’t interested in that didn’t even qualify for this level of disclosure.

You are now talking about the effect of atrocious and counter productive 'policing' of black communities.
> Coroutines still seem overkill to me though.

Coroutines are a fantastic way to implement ranges, in particular when you need runtime polymorphism over the way your range is implemented

e.g. they allow you to have for instance :

class foo {
public:
virtual coroutine_range_type<int> get_foobar_list() const = 0;
};

class foo_using_vector : public foo {
coroutine_range_type<int> get_list() const override {
for(int val : impl)
co_yield impl;
}
std::vector<int> impl;
};

class foo_using_some_fixed_list : public foo {
coroutine_range_type<int> get_list() const override {
co_yield 1;
co_yield 1;
co_yield 2;
co_yield 3; // or for instance getting something through some OS API, etc...
}
};

and then use that like you would use any container-like type, in range-based for-loops, in actual ranges...

> Ideally an acoustical consultant would be brought in during the design stage (just like SREs should be brought in during the design phase of a new service and not 5 minutes before it goes live), but that almost never happens, as we see (well hear) here.

Noise studies by qualified acoustical engineers are the rule not the exception in many jurisdictions.[1] But these only go so far, because the model of the predicted noise emissions from the as-yet-unbuilt turbine is only so detailed.

For what it's worth, no matter how much engineering you do there are always people who think they can hear something that can't be measured and won't be convinced otherwise.

On the other hand, a thing that really does reduce complaints is paying a community dividend to everyone who lives nearby (instead of just paying the owners of the actual land under the turbines).

back when I used debian(10 years ago) testing was the staging ground for the future stable version, so it got a couple of issues that varied as the mantainers stabilized the system.

then unstable was a really rolling release system, in my experience more stable than testing(understandable quirk as is was used by mantainers to prepare the next release).

At that point I decided that I'd rather use arch then unstable debian, but unstable was quite similar regarding package candence and stability.

Taocp is absolutely not a good introduction to computer science and is also not advisable as an undergraduate algorithms book.

It is only partially complete and does not touch concurrency, parallelism, complexity theory or the theory of computation. It is more of a comprehensive reference work for a small selection of topics.

The fact that you think taocp is the backbone for everything else tells me that you have not actually read the book, just like everyone else.

USB-C is a total mess, I might burn my phone if the voltage is higher than required. The only thing I know is that my laptop won't be affected because I've plugged it into the phone charger just a couple of times by mistake.

Also, beware of the Nintendo Switch, it seems that the charger spec was modified a bit by Nintendo and you might damage your console if the original parts aren't used.
