I've bought a couple of System76 laptops used on eBay and they did have some hardware issues but they were still under warranty and while I had to ship the laptops out they were both fixed promptly and continue to work to this day. Its also nice to have Linux be supported by their support and who help you avoid all of the hair pulling insanity that can come with getting various drivers to work on any operating system. My Oryx Pro is one from two generations ago and yeah it is closer to a portable desktop than a mobile laptop but it is nice having all of that power in one box. I mean Linux power management on a core level hasn't received the love that say optimizing Linux server workloads has, so battery life is always going to be somewhat lacking especially with a massive GPU, so you have to keep it plugged in.
My wife has been reading Charlotte's Web to our kids. I asked her if she was familiar with the Strunk and White Guide and she thought I was asking if she was familiar with the drunken white guy.

(For the record, she was familiar with neither.)

(And for those who don't know, Charlotte's Web was written by E. B. White who is the White of Strunk and White.)
Everyone is complaining:

- No DOH: "DNS is trivial to snoop"

- DOH with Cloudflair: "DNS is not longer distributed"

- DOH with ISPs: "Great, the ISPs get the data again"

Well, guess what? With the current changes we get rid of the arbitrary snooper problem while preserving DNS as a distributed service: not bad, not amazing, but strictly better than before this all began!

Of course ISPs are sketch, and Comcast in particular, but I rather have multiple providers to play off against each other. The upcoming IETF draft they mention would also restore the ability of network admins to adjust the default DOH (just like with regular DNS)---also good.

Actual anatomized and distributed DNS querying would require vastly different technology that anything being proposed in these comments.
iPhone 8 it leads me to DDG search results.
Pilot here, for anyone confused about the comment... some aircraft reach a speed where it is near a stall and cannot create a positive climb gradient when it touches down. Generally increasing angle of attack (angle the wings are with respect to the airflow) produces more lift. This works until a point is reached where the aircraft stalls (slow speed or high AOA, there is a curve). Many aircraft land near this airspeed, it produces a nice landing. But if you are faster than this airspeed, you can still pull up and create more angle of attack, create more lift, and take back off. So if you are landing fast you can easily pull up. This is exaggerated in fighter aircraft where we land at speeds that are faster than the stall threshold and a drastic pull up at landing can almost always cause a climb.
One question I have:

One thing I remember is that as something approaches the speed of light, its mass increases. This is why we can never achieve the speed of light because as we approach the speed of light, our mass increases which requires more energy to accelerate.

If that’s the case, the how can photons have a mass? Wouldn’t something traveling at the speed of light need to have infinite mass, regardless of how light it started off with?

Do not trust anyone. Including your relationships and spouse.

Make three lists of items - things you will want for yourself rest of the life, things you need to live, and things you want to invest for the time after you. Examples for each list: a good house in a good place, a set of low risk investments that will give you 250k p.a. perpetually, invest in a durable enterprise that will outlast you.

Then go about living as if nothing had happened.

When it comes to investment, choose boring non-exclusivist models. Aka. avoid maddoxes.
This just leads to a wiki page listing two TRR's, where someone admits that whatever "privacy policies" TRR's provide are not "contracts". Then someone replies that "there are legal contracts between Mozilla and those two listed providers". That does not mean those contracts relate to protecting user privacy. If you dig, there will be nothing there. There is nothing in any contract to protect any user. Neither Mozilla nor TRR's are "on the hook" for protecting user privacy. What I mean by that is that if some user's privacy is breached, there is absolutely zero liability accruing to Mozilla or TRR's.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Wthayer&a...

You, the end-user, will not get to see Mozilla's contracts. Policies are not contracts.

There seems to be some common misunderstandings about "policies" and tech companies are exploiting them. There is nothing legally binding in a policy and in the case the company deviates from the policy, there is no way for an affected user to "enforce" the policy she thought was being adhered to. This is of course assuming anyone outside the company actually discovers that a policy is being violated. Usually policy violations are non-detectable from outside the company.

There is rest mass, which is the mass of an entity when it does not move. And there is relativistic mass, which is the rest mass plus the mass due to all of the kinetic energy of the entity. Photons have zero rest mass, but depending on the energy they carry, they have different relativistic masses.

By the way, only entities with zero rest mass can move at the speed of light. Actually, in relativity it is mathematically inconsistent for something with zero rest mass to exist unless it is moving at the speed of light.
With respect, no — electron is not acceptable.

You’re bundling a complete copy of the chrome browser into your code. How many copies of chrome do you think one person needs?

"For example" and "for instance" are often used interchangeably, but do have some nuance between them. "For example" is broader, indicating a description of a class or category being described. "For instance" is narrower in scope, referring to a specific instance in the large class described by the example. Additionally, "for example" would be appropriate to use when creating a hypothetical, but "for instance" should always refer to something real - a concrete member of a class or category or an exemplary event which has occurred.
Bill Gates: US 'not even close' to doing enough to fight pandemic
I mean, that's because the language of physics is mathematics. If you ask vague questions with inherently undefined terms, you shouldn't be surprised if you get different answers! I bet chefs wouldn't agree on whether a taco is a sandwich, either, but that doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing.

Furthermore, as someone with a lot of experience thinking about photons in many different limiting cases, your objections don't make sense to me, because in general, absolute statements like "There are no X" in physics don't make sense. For almost any value of X, X can be a useful way of thinking in some limit or other, and whether or not you want to invoke X depends on the calculation you're doing. When you say there is no X and everybody who thinks otherwise is wrong, you're just inviting a debate over semantics, which we physicists are naturally not interested in.

Nah, GP is right, if he's talking about how you can decompose states into superpositions of coherent states of the whole field. These are different from coherent states of individual modes.

Specifically, a coherent state of a field is a state which is an eigenvector of the positive-frequency part of the field operator, when that operator is evaluated at any position.

This is kind of neat, OP what interested you about it to submit it?
> Mode A has a Hilbert space

> Mode B has its own Hilbert space

Yes; but both of these Hilbert spaces are subspaces of the full Hilbert space of the quantum EM field. For each mode, there will be a subspace consisting of all the Hilbert space vectors you can get by applying the creation operator for that mode only to the vacuum state an arbitrary number of times. But it's the same vacuum state in each case; and the full Hilbert space includes vectors that you get by applying two or more different creation operators to that vacuum state.

> If we want the total Hilbert space, that would be the tensor product of Hilbert space A and B

No, it would be the symmetric Fock space constructed using the direct sum of Hilbert spaces A and B ("symmetric" because photons are bosons). See here:

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

> a plane wave is a basis vector of the space of square-integrable functions

No, it isn't. A plane wave, i.e., a function of the form exp(ikx), is not square integrable. When we use plane waves as a basis, we have to either expand our space of functions to allow them, i.e., beyond just the square integrable functions, or restrict how linear combinations of the basis functions can be formed in order to ensure that all linear combinations we actually make use of are square integrable.

> Fock states and coherent states are basis vectors for a Hilbert space of a quantum oscillator.

Two different choices of basis, yes (and coherent states are an "overdetermined" basis--I think that's the right term--since they are not all linearly independent of each other). But Fock states, or at least the ones belonging to subspaces like your A and B above, formed by applying creation operators for only one mode to the vacuum, are plane wave states, since each "mode" is a plane wave, so any Fock state containing nonzero amplitude for only one mode will also be a plane wave.
That might also explain why my iOS 12 iPhone stopped syncing that information with my other devices.
iPhone 11 Pro here, everything up to date, and I get the same as you. Type in "sketch" and press GO and I get the DDG results for the term "sketch".

I also tried the example in the OP link and typed "realty.com" and it went to realty.com as expected.

Funnily enough though, as proof that Safari suggestions are still broken despite the above examples working for me... if I now type in "sketch" again, it suggests "realty.com" as the top result. Wtf.

Does it restore (by default) if you buy a new iPhone? If yes, then Apple stores a copy of your key to go along with the encrypted data. If it is restorable, it's technically encrypted, but in practice Apple (and whomever Apple decrees) have access to it anyway.
I also like how you can add zipcodes or location names as a path and it returns that. At least it works with zipcodes, cities, airport codes, landmarks. Not sure what else.

But, all in all, this is really nice and polished.
I normally read a good chunk, if not all of the code of a dependency before I add it to my projects except in the case of community standard things (in Ruby) such as ActiveSupport or Sequel. Going over a prospective dependency a few months ago bore fruit in proving why you should always do this. NewsAPI is a neat little API for fetching news whose docs just so happen to show a ruby gem. Being the lazy developer I am I’d like to use the gem than build another API client, but before I did that I read the source as one should. Low and behold what do I find but the evil eval in the code for a dirt simple API client. No thanks.

My company has made the hybrid model work. We've had a mix of fully remote along with two physical offices. It's really not all that complex, conference rooms have to have a video conference system that is added by default to all meetings. Ad-hoc meetings can start video with a single button press and a short code/url sent over slack.

We strongly encourage employees to keep discussions in 'public' slack rooms rather than private messages. This can be noisy but allows for inclusivity. Team members are free to choose which channels to join and are encouraged configure alerting to manage the noise. Only takes a few minutes to set up.

Performance needs to be measured by work output rather than time in the office, but companies should be doing that regardless.

Face-to-face on-boarding and intros to the team are preferable so we would fly in new-hires wherever possible for the first couple weeks. Beneficial but not required.
People seem fine with not being able to install the OS of their choice on iPhones, televisions and robot vacuums. So it seems unlikely that software compatibility is that important in that space. The manufacturers will just compile their code for the chip in question, move on to the next device and do the same thing. Of course there will be the ARM SBC corner for devs to play in.

Your vision of an open ISA like RISC-V winning is something that I mainly see benefiting manufacturers making closed hardware, not people who want general purpose hardware for running general purpose operating systems. For example Western Digital and nvidia are going to be using RISC-V as part of every SSD/HDD and GPU, but we will not get to run our own code on them. There are also hardware vendors selling RISC-V microcontrollers, but nothing that could run Linux or BSD, even SiFive only has Arduino-level boards out (they had Linux-capable ones but don't seem to be making more of them for sale). Eventually there might be a RISC-V entry in the SBC market, but I think ARM is still going to own that market for a long time.
That's true of several mobile hardware/SW of that time, I mentioned capacitive screen to show typical consumer preference.

Btw, you can also add native 3G video calling via front camera to that list, my Nokia N70 did that years earlier in India. Not many westerners seem to know about this feature in my earlier discussions.

Bitcoin has really settled down in terms of price swings over the last year. It did have a major covid crash, but aside from that it's been very stable for the past year.

Keep in mind that the price moves also attract attention, and act as a sort of advertisement of its existence. It wouldn't get any mainstream coverage without the price moves.

> What is the amplitude of a single photon's wave?

That doesn't have a well-defined answer, unfortunately. Suppose the electromagnetic field contains a single photon. Its electric field then necessarily exists in a superposition of values, so it doesn't have a well-defined amplitude. It also doesn't have a definite "typical" amplitude either -- that depends on how spread out the photon is, and its frequency.

As a rough estimate, a photon of frequency omega has energy hbar omega, so if it's spread out over a volume V, then matching energy densities gives E^2 V ~ hbar omega, so you expect the rms value of E to be of order hbar omega / V.
Similarly to the existence of waves and simple ratios, actually no, numbers do not have cultural origins.
Transaction fees are a real issue with Bitcoin.

Most of the time, they are suitable for standard payment amounts, but they can spike to quite high levels that make only large amounts worth transacting. This is due to network capacity limitations.

Furthermore, anyone that does not wish to hold BTC - understandable due to its significant volatility - must convert it again into the preferred currency.

Fees = friction, and there's enough friction now that people will only use it when it provides some significant utility.
