Not necessarily if they're talking about the diagonal of the phone: the SE1 has a ~138mm diagonal, which is ~5.4".

At 156mm the SE2 is a bit above 6.1".

Though by that measure the Palm here is hardly "3 inches", it's 4.2".

Thank you for making me laugh, sincerely :-)
That's still not specific. You said you want to tut-tutt the Democratic party for not being centrist enough and for holding extreme positions. Which ones?
Thanks for the help. Can you expand on what you mean? The function called on line 35 (heuristicNodeCheck) will compare the heuristic to the new total created every time a node is checked or listed as a neighbour. Therefore the heuristic will always be kept relevant. Are you suggesting that when a node is labelled with a heuristic to keep it as its first value?
Why? For latency reasons?
Yeah, I think so too. It was weird to see it there as it is associated with something else entirely different.

Statistics as practiced by computer scientists :)

More generally, I recommend Breiman's two cultures article for some insight into the similarities and differences.

If you need a really simple explanation, then machine learning is a tool for generating predictions, while statistics is a method for performing inference about causes.
The Zune came out with a 30GB hard drive player when the world had moved on to flash based smaller players and three months before the iPhone

The flash based Zunes similar to the Nanos came out at the same time as the second generation iPod Touch.

The Zune HD came out with no apps around the end of 2009. Peak iPod - including the Touch - was 4th quarter 2008. The iPod was already losing steam and even then it was being propped up by the iPod Touch.

It’s just a hassle to switch things when you have a large number of people who have adopted it. Even the UK which is nominally metric hasn’t had the will to switch from miles to kilometres for road speeds and distances. The slow spread of globally used volumes is probably the only way it’s ever going to happen and even there it won’t affect most areas.

There does also seem to be a more extreme reluctance in the US to change to more widely adopted units and conventions (e.g. day/month/year) and if anything being one of the only countries left using non metric units seems to be a point of pride. About the only SI units the us seem to use relate to fields invented after science as a whole adopted it as standard (e.g. electrical units).

In one sense inches have a pleasant form of being subdivided into more easily divisible Power of two units but even that falls apart over small distances where they turn to ‘thousandths of an inch’ rather 1024ths. Useful in a world of pre-computer drawing because you could easily scale up plans but not particularly useful now.
It gets particularly confusing when people start comparing mpg for US and British cars, as the two gallons are not the same, I've seen so many arguments online where people are flat out comparing differenteasures and assuming they were the same.
Everyone in US uses feet and inches, afaik.

The human eye is really good at dividing things in half, so it's easy to make power-of-two divisions without special tools. Just divide whatever it is in half, then divide it in half again, and so forth until you have a sixteenth.

The US system has lots of power-of-two factors in it, which suggests that it was born in the marketplaces and workbenches of people who did most things by hand, rather than our modern world where we design everything on paper first.

Isn't the earth crust constantly moving, so new petroleum reservoirs are constantly formed and other destroyed as dispersed liquid hydrocarbons move and migrate in reservoirs?

So even if a civilization depleted its reserves, then new reservoirs would be available once the crust has moved enough?

It's an interesting perspective, yet a TV a ban on 1 show or network was pretty limited for the advertiser since there was proper regulation on media at the time. I.e. dropping the most popular news program still left you with ~50% reach in the same category on the other 2 networks.

An advertiser dropping a major tech company today is refusing to be seen in all social contexts of one type, or all searches, etc.

If advertisers go ahead with this on a permanent basis it is a very interesting message, and I think we don't know so much about this since our past regulations were really based on outcomes with individuals and small companies as the victims of bad markets.
Exactly. Drill sizes and, even worse, screw sizes drive me crazy. It's not even obvious which one is larger without doing math.

This reminds me of the great Mythbusters who, to me, came across a bit stubborn to insist on US units -- it felt unsciency. I do understand that they wanted to use the 'normal' system that 'normal' people use -- I always recalculated all their psi and inches of mercury and fathoms per fortnight to SI.

So weird!
Notes as Code
It's naive to expect all strata of society to change with immigration without any lag. The US was 83% white as recently as 1980, which could be the population that has had time to climb up to leadership roles - something that can easily take a generation or two, especially when education is so expensive. In 2017, it was down to 73% white (61% if limited to non-Hispanic, but the older data doesn't make that distinction, making comparison difficult) [1].

83% / 73% = 1.14, while the "heavy" over-representation the article mentions is, estimating from the graph, about 1.17. I.e. if comparing to 1980 demographics, whites are over-represented in tech leadership by a whole 3%.

But more puzzling is this statement: Not only are employees of color under-represented in leadership positions in tech, they are also under-represented in tech in non-leadership positions.

The graph immediately following shows whites are under-represented in tech - "heavily" under-represented, if we were to use the author's own metric (the author chooses not to mention this). So both whites and people of color are under-represented?? Of course that same graph contains the answer - Asians are over-represented by 483%. 17% over-representation was "heavy", so the author was unable to find a sufficiently strong adjective for 483%, and wisely chose not to mention it at all.

I agree that it will be a large power penalty, but the alternative may end up being the long tail of software suffering subtle concurrency correctness issues that just aren't there on x86. It may sacrifice some of their advantage but avoid being known as the CPU equivalent of a Ford Pinto.

There's still plenty of room to undercut Intel's historical 60% gross margins even if you're shipping largely interchangeable products.

The other way it might play out is a race to very high core counts as the main differentiator, providing single socket performance worth the hassle of not being able to run everything on it in a rock solid way. Postgres will work great. That redis fork that adds threads maybe not.

Or Intel may start to allow developers to relax memory correctness guarantees on a process by process granularity in their own progress to high core counts. It's hard to imagine their current methods scaling to 1k cores. But if you asked me ten years ago I'd have said they wouldn't have made it to 56 cores, either.
Dwarf Fortress sessions have been fun, but Oxygen Not Included provides a lot of the same type of satisfaction (unfortunately with no combat aspect, but much more complicated designing and building of systems) with great graphics and great UX. It's 40% off on Steam right now:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/457140/Oxygen_Not_Include...

The simulation is highly detailed, but in a different way than DF: liquids, gases, creatures in the environment, and networks of machines that you build to produce food and oxygen, recycle various elements, manage germs, and generally keep your base alive. ONI is made by Klei Entertainment, an experienced team, which is primarily known for the game series called Don't Starve. It was in early access for a while and launched in July 2019. They've been adding more content periodically for free since then.

I've enjoyed games of DF, but I'd find it hard to come back to after having played games like Oxygen Not Included, Prison Architect, Rimworld, Frostpunk, Banished, and so on. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with for the Steam release, though, and maybe be willing to give it another try.

Factorio is absolutely amazing, but that's an entirely different kind of game.
Glad you found it to be informative!
> academic work

I actually know a few people working on their PhD’s that have nothing backed up.

Their advisors buys servers, the university’s IT sets them up, they get access to it and work on it without backups, local copies or anything.

They have grants that they may have to provide results for.

As time passes, there are more people working in that lab that get access to the machines. Multiple projects being worked on for multiple grants.

I also know people running unsecured stuff on public ports for easier access.

Another thing, it could be that the data sets they where working on where given to them under a condition that they wouldn’t be shared, exposed or something.

I don’t know anyone in medicine or healthcare and no one at this university, but that’s what I’ve seen from people I’ve met throughout the year.

(I have also seems people loose their thesis because their laptops died on them and they didn’t have a backup or for their Word file getting corrupted.)
The "cops work 70-80 hours a week" thing is a policy choice. Nothing more nothing less. I agree that this has negative impact on policing, maybe more then it would be with other jobs. It makes it less effective just like any other person working 80 hours a week becomes exhausted and ineffective.

But, it is still a result of policy and culture, not something inherent to the task itself.

Given that overall cop deaths are not unusually high, no I have trouble to see that as some kind of super high risk occupation. Overall, being cop does not make me more likely to die and most of deaths are actual traffic accidents due to cops being in the traffic a lot.

Traffic is the primary danger for cops.

Whilst contracting with a London digital agency in the mid '00s, I overheard a design conversation which stuck with me (in a bad way). One designer commented something like "Good design stays in place; bad design goes everywhere", citing Glaser's logo as an example of "bad design". I felt they were wrong, at the time, and the experience has actually helped me understand design and art better since (I'm a programmer, not a designer). It's very rare to create something so meaningful and recognisable, replicable, with "seams" you can easily unstitch to recycle the image whilst keeping a visual and semantic link to its source. Amazing.

EDIT: better grammar.

If Intel can allow developers/OS's to relax guarantees, why can't ARM allow OS's to strengthen them as necessary, while still keeping a relaxed memory model most of the time?

Multiplayer backgammon doesn't require a full working ruleset on the client side at all.

Like I mentioned, these are _turn-based games_. To an extent, you're thinking about them like they're real time, and that's where the problem is. With backgammon (as with Ludo, which I'm building at the moment, so I have direct experience with this) you _have_ to roll the dice on the server or else the enterprising player is just going to game them. And if you're returning the value of the rolled die from the server, you can simply return the set of legal moves as well.
Though I agree with you, I think this patient was receiving mechanical ventilation as well as ECMO. I don't know if they were simultaneous

Edit: Another plus for ECMO is that ventilation procedure creates a serious infection risk for doctors and nurses, but ECMO doesn't. Losing a doctor costs a lot more than $100K

Prices definitely will go up with UBI, particularly for scarce goods like housing. You are absolutely correct. They did not go up in this experiment because it was just one town.

UBI won’t work unless we deregulate zoning, reduce the cost of higher education, and reduce the cost of healthcare.
There have been many different standards for both inches and feet. What this article calls the "international foot" is based on the 2.54cm inch.
On the other hand, the more they ask for, the less likely they’re going to get paid for it.

If they keep asking for $1M from organizations that will pay because that’s pocket change, the more organizations they can attack.

If they start asking for too much, they’ll see they won’t pay as quickly, other people will start selling services to protect against you that seem more attractive, etc.
OK, so the only part I'll respond to is the Brexit thing.

Firstly, Brexit has still not happened in any real sense (there's a transition period till the end of the year).

Secondly, the UK government appear to want a minimal trade relationship with the EU, which will hit services trade pretty hard (and the UK exports lots of services).

The likelihood is that many large companies will need to move staff/assets to the EU to retain their licenses.

For me, specifically (as I'm a data scientist) this probably means that data products out of the UK are going to be tricky to sell.

I would expect that there will be a drop in London property prices, but a larger drop in jobs.

Don't get me wrong, London is a great city, but I (personally) would stay away from moving there till at least next year, as the implications around Brexit and trade should be much clearer by then.

I run it on both. If you need to provide some UI context, being able to reach in to the state and query it is a life saver.

Imagine Advance Wars. Their unit movement is very subtle.

You can choose the path the units travel, which can turn in to a forced action if you stumble onto an ambush unit. When you reach the end it tells you the outcome of your battle before you confirm you want to engage in it.

Doing logic only on the server and sending down a list of possible moves is going to get pretty heavy. Querying for each square of movement is going to be a latency nightmare.

Edit: actually, I think the movement ambush is from a clone. Although the arrow movement from the original is still complicated. That doesn't weaken the argument: imagine getting half way in to dev and realizing you can't add that feature with your architecture.
Based on these findings it's reasonable to suppose that extensive reservoirs of talent are not being recognized, exploited (in the best sense of the word) and put to universally profitable use benefiting employers and employees alike. Why would companies (apparently) knowingly choose to ignore such a resource?
Thats why my philips hues make that pattern. Thank for the info
It's concrete.
I would push a little further and say that this is a component of Western thought - binaries, enmity and polemics. The disjunction between the metanarrative of what our system is - a democracy based on equality - and what our system is - pro-slavery. The result is we blame, individuals or groups of individuals like 'woodpushers' when it is the entire logical order. Just try breaking any of our main socially-organizing binaries: Male/female (be trans!) or black/white (everyone is both!), sexuality(be pan-sexual!), class (celebrate being poor!) and so on. We meet in enmity to decide what of these categories we are (without ever uttering it) and then we argue our own truth, generated from within, and argue it to the death. Just like folks will when they read this. Go a piece of the way with this. Do some reading - Spivak, Mbembe, Benedict Anderson, Roedigger - there are decades of theory and meaning out there that is now mainstream. The problem is not the 'bad folks' - it's our own western solipsism.
It only requires the client have a list of currently legal moves, not the complete ruleset. Though I generally agree with you, it's convenient and not at all an antipattern to have some of the rules logic in the client - for example, you might have no other reason to generate an exhaustive list of legal moves server side.

The question being asked is not "sensationalist". It is a perfectly legitimate question of epistemology: can we know? If there ever was such a trans-ancient civilization, would evidence still be identifiable? Or is deep time as, and perhaps even more, unknowable as deep (relativistic) space?

Keep refining/miniaturizing the technology. from mainframes, PCs, tablets, mobile watches to tiny chip in brain. In energy from coal, oil, electric, solar to zero-power. Eventually the grossness will disappear to a great extent. leaving little to know artifacts. The remaining artifacts including the dwelling structures get recycled into their raw sources given sufficient time; especially if remain under water for good amount of time. Continents may fall into ocean destroying the evidence more quickly.

This is only when you are expecting a civilization as current one. How about those who weren't dependent on technology ever - they may have chosen a route to discover about the nature, the universe and themselves drastically different from that of ours and hence we, enamored by a false sense of superiority, fail to even contemplate of such possibility let alone any chance of discovering an evidence of their existence.
I have a significant amount of experience with both of them. For pandas, it is fine for initial exploratory analysis (input, plot, reshape and export, etc). However, it's API has inconsistencies and subtle "features" around silent data coercion that make it hard to use in production. Seaborn is much nicer to work with than matplotlib and Jupyter is useful for making interactive presentations. So I believe Pandas/Jupyter have a place, but then there was a tendency to create a Pandas-like wrapper for all data retrieval such as:

Definitely. The internet is almost unusable without it nowadays, especially when it comes to large and more corporate sites and media outlets.

On a related note, this makes me wonder how many people both run ads on their own sites and use adblockers at the same time. I'm certainly guilty of that one, and I wouldn't be surprised if the people running these media sites and social networks were in the same situation.
since all state machines are reducible to a switch statement I kinda don't get the point of it all. You are moving complexity around, not reducing it.
The Middle East IS a hellhole. Speaking directly from there. Rich people in the West just don’t want to admit that, so they can do nothing for their fellow humans and still take the moral high ground. The current left survives only on privilege.
Sure, although you'd probably be better off with strong by default with opt in weakness.

The amount of testing and verification in making sure something like Postgres runs well on a different memory order more is substantial. Adding the flag at the end is trivial.

This way around, software is correct by default unless it explicitly asks to be unsafe.
The issue here is the surveyor's foot, which as its name indicates is only used for surveying (and corresponds to the pre-metrication foot).

That's like nautical miles. If you're in a nautical context "mile" can be ambiguous, but if you're not then it's just the mile (well except there's also a survey mile).

Anyway the answer to your question is that in 1959 all non-metric units of length (and weight) were standardised internationally and defined in terms of metric units.

So outside of specific contexts (like surveying), an inch is 2.54cm and a foot is 12 inches of 2.54cm or 30.48cm. The "reference" unit is actually the international yard at 91.44cm, with there being 3ft to a yard, and 12in to an ft.
