After defunding the police, they'll have private security as well.
They tried to integrate with XBox.

They pumped millions and millions into exclusivity deals with streamers like Ninja and Shroud, only saw small growth and then completely stalled.

Even during the recent lockdowns they remained almost flat, while others had big viewership spikes.

At some point you just have to call it quits.

The new competition besides Twitch is FB Gaming and YouTube, which can leverage existing platforms with a huge userbase.

An isolated platform that offers no value over Twitch has no chance in this environment.
Argentina and Mexico were almost at parity with the US near the turn of the XX cent. Russia (Federation, Empire, Soviet Union) had and have massive natural resources and yet they lag behind many countries that have vastly fewer resources than they do (Japan, SKorea).

Right, to be clear I wasn’t discrediting other accomplishments but it could really become “mainstream” now. Don’t you think?

I always figured the bartender was just another philosophy or sociology or political science major who couldn't find a better job. Which I'd say is also a relevant modern issue. I know plenty of college students and grads working shit jobs.
"Te running of the country by few elites that eventually become corrupt/extractive". Is one of the reasons... but not THE reason. Otherwise Singapore should be poor, but they are not.

often, it can be explained with the inability of a government to govern, and individuals are left to their own devices....

Favelas are a demonstration of it (lack of proper housing policy and urban organization by the government). Also a lot of the chaos of post Communist Europe....

You can have the greatest laws in the book, but if you can't effectively enforce them, or govern, then it doesn't matter. Corrupt elites just accelerate poverty, but they are not the only cause of it.

Trump to expand coronavirus-related immigration restrictions
A typical laptop display can consume around 10W all the time so the 1W from the idle CPU is negligible in comparison.

If anything, you should install an adblocker. A single website filled with ads (and they're all filled with tons of ads) can spin the CPU to tens of watts forever, significantly draining the battery.
You're comparing peak single with all-core TDP/cores. Ryzen 2 cores peak at about 10 Watts per core...they probably have at least 30% frequency increase headroom...plus whatever bump they get when they move to 5 nm. I expect at least a 50% per core performance increase when they refresh their laptop/desktop lines, and probably twice the cores. And they'll also be saving a few hundred dollars per laptop...
Have you considered remapping Caps Lock to Escape? There's an option for that in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences.
A workshop on how to run better workshops
To further explain my position, I actually don't disagree that help should be given if possible. But right now I don't see why given we have uneducated and poor people still within the US we should help another country. IFF we have this problem resolved, AND we have surplus resources (money, goods, etc), then clearly why not provide as much help as possible? But when we have yet to solve the problem here it's an ask to divert resources. So then the value proposition question comes up. If I must divert resources then this must somehow create more value for me to justify it, so that I can then in turn help those in need in my country that these resources could be going to help instead.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. This was a very nice Xbox feature. They had it for PC on their Xbox bar for a while; You could stream any window or your desktop to the same mixer account as your gamertag. Then one day it just disappeared. I guess that should have been a sign they were having issues.

We evolved sleeping on the earth, but very few treat that as an argument against beds.
I'm a loyal Android user since smartphones became a thing. I do own an iPhone because I had to write some cross-platform code on one of my jobs, but I can't fathom using iOS in part because of how laughably useless the notification system is. It could as well not have any, it won't make a difference. Notifications disappear when you unlock, badges on icons are always there with some arbitrary numbers on them, notification center shows something from last year but not the notification you received a minute ago, and the best part: some "notifications" are modal alerts that pop up right in your face when you least expect.

And they have the audacity to call this the world's most advanced mobile OS.

This is not forever. We will likely have a vaccine at some point, may be within a year or two. We will also keep getting better at treating it over time - in identifying susceptible populations, developing cures, and hospitals being better equipped.
$30M for not even a full year, and not even a gigantic brand hit (they seemed to retain their fanbase pretty well, and did well with Youtube clips) sounds like a great deal.
I really hope Android emulator(simulator?) can run faster on the Mac.
how about the history of imperialism where some countries came in, exploited the local population and their natural resources, and reaped the benefits of historical, compounding wealth?

how about the history of how those wealthy countries then turned around and squashed democratic uprisings in order to install oppressive, right-wing regimes that were more friendly to their interests?

how about the history of trade sanctions which further cripple countries which are already disempowered and exploited?

these social darwinist explanations always seem to miss the simple facts of history
This hasn't been my experience at all. I'm running a hackintosh of all things on vanilla x86 hardware and I haven't had a kernel panic for months (and even then the only thing I can think of was when I was screwing with something that's supposed be behind the curtain). Importantly, I'm more and more resolute against installing Catalina.
What would it take for you to start using these things? I use almost all of the native apps (messages, notes, safari, FaceTime, maps, etc) so I like seeing improvements and appreciate that they aren't rotting.
I’m sure the usual reduce transparency and increase contrast options will still be there.
If you don’t trust your kernel I don’t think some dinky application-layer firewall is going to save you.

Hello, @TechMahn. No one is born with all this knowledge, so we’ve all been where you are. You’ve come to a good place to ask questions! So, please, ask away. This is a very “giving” community. If we can help you, we will (or we’ll at least point you in the right direction).
This project is wicked cool, and I almost missed that they built it using Rust. I like the language a lot, and I think something like this is a sign of it moving towards real maturity, where the utility of the programs starts outshining the method of its construction. I'll be really curious to see if any project proposals end up citing this over the next couple years as an impetus for starting to experiment with different approaches to their traffic infrastructure, or at least inspiring people to become more engaged with it.
You can have a condescending attitude about it if you want, but the reality is advertising-backed business models make services available to people who would not otherwise be able to afford them.

The ramifications of creating barriers to advertising is ultimately taking these services away from the poor.

At this point it appears to be birth control, and cultural acceptance of birth control.
The difference is that everyone (to some approximation) who is likely to buy a PS5 has a computer of some description that is perfectly capable of streaming media - you're not thinking "oh, I need to get that console so I can watch Facebook Gaming".
> Plainly put, poor countries are poor because those that have power make choices that create poverty.

Simple enough, almost sounds tautological. If truly all the causes listed in the beginning of the article don't amount to an explanation, then there's little left to point at than the governing powers.

I'd like some more proof before I'm convinced that inclusivity in government is _the_ smoking gun, but I don't think it is controversial to say "democracy good."

Coffee doesn't wake me up and I can drink it just before sleeping.

I just love the smell of freshly ground coffee and taste is phenomenal. I drink it with cinamone, very strong, just in boiled water (without any coffee making device) and totally without any sugar and with lots of cream. A sip of goat's milk.

However, It does seem to make me anxious.
This is what-aboutism at it's finest. Changing default apps has nothing to do with privacy. How did you connect the two other than "but what about..."?

In fact, forget about Android, every OS pretty much ever has allowed for changing default apps. This is strictly about control, and this current move is strictly about throwing EU regulators a slight curve ball.
Covid destroyed demand. Some/many companies use visas to exploit the foreigner because they will take lower wage.
Then you probably have a hardware defect somewhere
>Is it uncommon for folks to use a Linux desktop as their primary OS?

Serious question? Otherwise I have to respond with LOL. Only people inside the tech bubble would think a Linux desktop was normal, and even inside the tech bubble you truly have to have a reason.

The largest install of Linux as a desktop for a company I've seen has been at a post house where all of the software ran on Linux. The users only used it to launch the specific app they needed. They had TDs (technical directors) to do all of the Linuxy type of stuff.
Apple also uses EmberJS but ember is not allowed to advertise it on their site.
No, it pulls 4W under the single-threaded spec2006. And the A13 then actually regresses on perf/watt and hits 6W in a few tests https://www.anandtech.com/show/14892/the-apple-iphone-11-pro...

This isn't unique to Apple, either. The "big" cores in ARM CPUs have been pulling 2-4W for years and years. That's why thermal throttling is such a major issue in mobile, especially mobile games.
Valid point as a GF-tied AMD would not be in the same position as today.

That said, what are the other options if not TSMC? Besides Intel, Samsung is only other cutting-edge option. Intel's 7nm would be technically on par with TSMC's 5nm (marketing names aside). https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/7_nm_lithography_process

There is a chance, however unlikely, that TSMC's 3nm push will run into issues and be delayed. Would create an interesting scenario where Apple would pay Intel to fab their SOCs.

I can relate to this. I've experienced each of these things and the crushing feeling they bring. I've also been on the other side and experienced the joy of a team that values me.

I do not care what parameter set you choose if you actually want to answer the question. Pick one, state the parameters, and then specify it.

To illustrate:

How much damage could somebody do with a $100K budget in a few months to the best system you have been personally involved in?

How much damage could a well-staffed national agency do in a week to that system?

For all credible adversaries that could cause $X in damage, choose the 20th percentile cost adversary, how much would that cost?

The question is also specifically limited to systems the answerer has worked on to avoid speculation on practices or "grass is always greener" mentality. Did you work on the ISS on software or software security?

Jeff Bezos has over $100B. Therefore, I take your answer to mean:

With $100B nobody could orchestrate an cyberattack that could crash the ISS?

The cost to develop the Stuxnet attack has been estimated to be $1M according to former director of the NSA General Hayden. This is likely an underestimate only accounting for the cost of the exploit itself. Kaspersky Lab claims it cost in the regime of $100M to develop and deploy. So, lets take the high number and multiple it by 10 leaving the cost of disabling the secret air-gapped Iranian Nuclear Weapons Program at $1B. Do you think the cost of a critical attack against the ISS is 100x higher than a critical attack on the Iranian Nuclear Weapons Program?

Please avoid limiting your imagination to just direct attack on the ISS itself. There are multiple entities which when attacked would likely be able to de-orbit the ISS and kill all the astronauts. Please verify that none of these could occur for less than $100B: taking over a rocket to the ISS, taking over a rocket to LEO, active satellites in the correct orbital plane, decommissioned satellites that are no longer tracked but with enough fuel to intercept, scientist laptops that connect to the ISS network, over-drawing the laptop batteries so they blow up while in the ISS, etc. This also ignores more clever tactics you could do with $100B such as buy a company directly supplying critical needs of the ISS and then insert backdoors into the software.
Pseudonyms only work if you trust your cover won't be blown in a way that compromises your investment/safety. Is Facebook trustworthy enough for that?
That article describes a violation of the terms of an H1-B visa which could be pursued by the executive without scrapping the program entirely. Why has the administration decided to proceed with the latter instead of the former?
Okay than just my two cents. I use torrents a lot and never had a problem finding what i needed, and i would certainly not pay a dime for some obscure per-bite streaming. Not in torrents.
As regards frequency of civilizations occurring, I've read recently an interesting take: when we look at the Earth, each of the following milestones seems exponentially more difficult (i.e., probability density is far smaller for each):

- simple unicellular organisms to eukaryotes (~2 billion years)

- eukaryotes to multicellular lifeforms (~a few hundred million years)

- humans + consciousness + language + prehensile limbs (only a couple of million / a few hundred thousand years ago?)

In addition, if panspermia (exchange of biological material via meteorites/comets etc.) is in fact effective, the conclusion was: Earth-like planets may very well be (almost) universally covered (infested?) with one or another kind of unicellular goo; but only some tiny fraction has anything more interesting, and we could be one of the handful - or even the first technical civilization in the Milky Way.

Why don't you put up an official roadmap? Why is "Open Source" stopping you from doing that?
It's a single-threaded test. That's 5W on a single core.

Here's the A12's power/frequency curve: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/14892/a12-fvcurve.png

That's the curve per core (that's how those charts work). 3.85W per core @ 2.5ghz is what a big core A12 is spec'd at.
Not 4W each. Stop saying this.
True. Now they can do the same jobs from India, China, Vietnam, etc for way cheaper.

Even Canada is an option if they want to be in US time zones but not have to deal with arbitrary and capricious changes in rules.
Uncommon? Yes. Very few people run Linux as a their primary OS.
> So you'll make better products if you have a more diverse group of people making them.

Do you have any evidence of this? Any world-leading product that assembled its team specifically for "diversity" rather than talent will do.

> On a personal level, wouldn't you like to work with a more diverse group of people as well?

It doesn't matter what I would like. I will not discriminate based on sex, colour, or religion out of principle and I will fight people who do.

Interesting take on things, looks like the FAANGs will have an easier time with getting H1Bs accepted.
The US actually spends a low amount of money on policing compared to the EU, where police kill fewer people. Further, the US also has a low number of police officers.

https://blog.skepticallibertarian.com/2019/01/09/charts-poli...?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependen...

The defund the police narrative isn’t based on any actual examination of US police spending, or general public spending. The key issues are instead police unions, lack of police training in the US, impunity for police abuses, etc

Cambridge NJ is often cited as a model of reform. But I am not sure they reduced spending. Instead they disbanded and reformed their police.
This simulation confirms that the easiest fix is to not have the West Seattle bridge be broken :)

I'm glad I finally no longer need macOS to have a nice developer experience. Docker & WSL2 are all I really need to do development these days. Back when I started using macOS, Windows seemed pretty dire for developers unless you were in the .NET and back then web-dev.

Around the time ruby on rails was becoming super-popular I noticed a lot of developers getting MacBooks through their workplace and that kind of caught on as it was easy to install all the cool new dev tools that came out after that like Node etc. Apple built up a nice cache with developers and from 2007-2018 the circles I ran in you would be hard pressed to find a developer using Windows.

All this time Microsoft were in the background diligently putting together a grand strategy for getting back developer mind-share, and they have done a spectacular job. VSCode + Visual Studio Community Edition, WSL & WSL2, The new terminal experience, supporting Docker, buying GitHub, open sourcing .NET, improving Azure and just constantly tightening up Windows 10.

They've put their best foot forward going into the future and I am so glad because during the time all the cache Apple have built up has eroded. The keyboards, the kernel panics in Catalina, the MacBooks have been unspectacular, they just won't fix bugs, Swift is unused outside of iOS dev, Catalinas false promise of "just click a button to make your iOS app work on macOS", iOS has stagnated feature wise, Xcode is a malignant tumour that rears its ugly face when you try and use git for the first time, and they keep railroading down this road towards iOS-ification of all their platforms.

Developers wanted the iPad to become more like macOS - and with Big Sur it looks like they've pulled a reverse Uno card.
But think of all the space saved by turning every web browser's title bar into tabs or location bars. So what if you're left with 8 pixels to grab a window with your mouse and move it!

Really I just want browsers to have built-in support for running single-page apps. So you could go to a site and have it just send your browser a JS file, avoiding even needing to fetch and HTML file with a script tag.
Per Fitz's Law, touch-friendly is mouse friendly. The larger the click target the faster and easier it is to click, especially as the distance between the current mouse position and the target increases. It's a huge mouse accessibility win to design touch-first target sizes, and there's decades of UX research on that topic. Just because the mouse is precise enough to do it doesn't mean that users should have to "360 no-scope" all of their apps every day.
I don't understand how people could possibly do that; apart from the cost, my experience with Uber and Lyft was awfully stressful. Something new and unsettling would happen in 5/6 rides - I didn't particularly feel like it was worse on average than a regular cab, but I didn't feel secure either. Drivers taking their hands off the steering wheel, fumbling and accidentally hitting the SOS button, tailgating...I only used them when I absolutely had no alternative.
Another use case, for my daughters first birthday I had a Elmo impersonator (this guy was spot on, you could not tell the difference) make a video with a puppet for her. It was a private thing we shared together not something I publicly shared but her face lit up when "Elmo" said her name and wished her a happy birthday. It's weird to do this for yourself, however it makes a thoughtful gift under the right conditions.
I feel like this is the point that gets missed. For these people that are famous for a skill or craft, Cameo turns them into an Organ Grinder Monkey. Obviously if the celeb is doing it, nobody is forcing them, but the whole thing just feels so cheap and degrading.
