It would appear the South had a very high rate of small businesses receiving the loans versus other areas. This is fascinating given that the South was the last area to lock down and the first to open up. Can anyone posit a reason for the clearly higher rates? Are there higher rates of self-employment there?
The Herald Sun is a Rupert Murdoch publication, which means that it has a comparable relationship to the conservative political party in Australia as Fox New has with the Republicans.

I would recommend viewing all its content from this frame of reference.
Sony’s PS architect/chief Kutaragi always had that kind of bright future thing, like “today we are sailing out on this new PlayStation platform and by the end of this decade the whole nation will be driven by this open machine and its groundbreaking processors doing every tasks beyond our imagination”.

And I thought he was full of it, and PS was always very obviously just another game console, and he’s also the culprit of why PS2 fat had IEEE1394, why PS2 compatibility sucks even against its own variants, why PS3 sucked in general, why there isn’t much gap to be perceived on the chart between launch day prices of PS3 and Wii, why there were some Cell based PCIe boards that were more or less space heaters, maybe also why Vita got RAM slash, also probably why Microsoft tried digital home hub concept in XB1 only to have the always funny division chief seek for new opportunities, and his absence is probably why PS4 and PS5 are just almost completely sane no nightmare gaming consoles...

Anyway Kutaragi was the PS guy from PS1 through PS3 and I guess that’s what you’re talking about.

Well, there are some consequences we must consider.

Foreign student populations contribute a great deal of money to Universities. It is typical at many private institutions that foreign students pay 100% sticker price.

If that institution goes full online, many international students may be unwilling to give up their immigration status and transfer. Likewise, institutions with large immigrant cohorts may be pressured to remain in-person to retain these financials (compounded by the fact that they are financially struggling as is).

Similarly, access to broadband is often taken for granted in the United States. You cannot guarantee in other countries that you will have sufficient access to fast and free (as in unrestricted) internet access. At which point, you simply cannot remain enrolled at your current institution. (Essentially you would get deported, and lose a year of your education)

The social issue of immigration aside, I think in economic terms this could be pressuring universities, and in perhaps the wrong way.
And the other founder, who is the CEO, absolutely hates Trump...
> Either it can or it cannot be done as it has been defined.

You can't define everything precisely--and inaccuracy may not lead to failure--just suboptimal results.

My favorite example of this was a semiconductor fabrication lab in college. There were 4 or 5 masks which have the step of "Align masks on lithography machine using alignment marks on silicon and expose photresist".

Okaaaaay. No big deal, you're putting lines and crosses in the center of other lines and crosses visually through a stereo microscope. Humans do that well.

Erm, that lithography machine is possibly older than the professor and likely hasn't been maintained in about the same timeframe.

So, the vernier screws have an enormous amount of backlash. If you've used shitty guitar tuners, you know how to deal with this. If you haven't, you spend a lot of time being frustrated figuring out what backlash is and how to deal with it. Okay, that's lab technique.

However, if even if you do know about backlash, this wastes time on a piece of equipment which is already time constrained. If you actually know something about semiconductors and think a bit about the process, you realize that Mask 2 is the crucial alignment because it defines your critical dimensions and screwing it up will haunt you while you can be a little more cavalier about the other masks. So, you spend way more time fighting the machine on Mask 2 to get it right (because it's important) and you spend less time on the rest. That's also lab technique.

Finally, if you're paranoid, you test the measurement equipment and calibrate it every single time you enter the lab. You note the serial numbers of the broken ones and only use the ones that reliably give correct measurements.

Your prize for this level of lab technique is that your transistor gives gorgeous graphs and works exactly like the lab claims it should while everybody else gets mushy results, at best.
TikTok steals kids attention and is completely useless for society. Sorry, but fuck it. We don't need more useless apps that steal peoples' attention span.
> Committee chair Senator Jenny McAllister said she hopes TikTok will comply with the Australian government’s request for their cooperation in a probe into the platform.

> “I think Australians will expect to hear from them,” she told the Herald Sun.

> “Part of the job of this Committee is to get all of those stakeholders in the room and create a forum where we can have a really good discussion about what are the boundaries, about what is and isn’t acceptable on these types of matters.”

That seems to be the substance / source of the article.

Outside of those quotes, there's 4 paragraphs of background regarding India's decision to ban it, and Scott Morrison (Australian Prime Minister) recent announcement regarding a big cyber security funding announcement (part of wider national defense announcement).

Battling the “Pandemic of Misinformation”
I would posit that the only good use for carousels is with images. Craigslist is a good example of this with the thumbnails below the carousel. Its very natural with images, like flipping through a picture book. This way you can keep the relevant text in view while you look at all the pictures in the album.

Yes, the raspberry pi is more of a biproduct of the world having moved towards ARM before than a driver by itself. In the end it's just reusing an SoC which was developed for other applications.

And we had countless applications in mobile phones and automotive infotainment systems for Cortex A series CPUs and other embedded systems for Cortex M series CPUs before.

What authority does the Australian government have to ban an app? And would this authority also apply to apps built by Australians or only foreign apps?
A master's degree. Body shops can bill more for contractors if they have one. This often means they make it a requirement.

Carousels are the type of UI pattern that is only okay if you ask for it. Amazon is a good example of a carousel done right. If I want to see the full-sized images which are part of a customer's product review, I click on the thumbnail representing these images, with the expectation that some larger, more obvious version of the images will be made available. Once a carousel appears in an overlay, it's not disturbing or annoying at all. It's there because I asked for it.
Why do you believe you are in a position to decide what people are allowed to do with their free time?

There's a lot of good arguments against tiktok but this ain't it.
Clever move to make the slide transition timeout juuust a tad too fast to read, further driving home the point that carousels are a shit way to present information.

This analogy really works for me. Palantir is a well-named company.
Australia banning it might only be the start. It might extend to other FVEY countries. Think of the other intelligence related laws they passed over the years in a coordinated fashion. There are plenty of influential people in the US who are very critical of TikTok, e.g. Josh Hawley.
Ah I see, so it's a hydrogen peroxide and mineral solution produced from the yeast. They are selling this solution with no microbes inside.
A little biased and contrafactual comment, yours. Those islands ARE linked to Argentina. And, same as Tierra del Fuego e Islas del Antartico Sur, it could have an enviable economic status among other Argentinean provinces.
Yes, they announced a transition to Apple Silicon over two years. There are a few new Intel Macs left in the pipeline before everything switches over.

Why is this such a problem? So they go back home for a year, save lots of money on US rents, stay enrolled, then come back once in-person classes start again? is there any evidence that universities want to disenroll these students and therefore lose their extremely high tuition fees?
Facebook and Instagram use carousels for their Stories feature. Google uses carousels for News stories and product results. Are they the exception and if so, why? Or are they not aware of the user data?
>Without the H-1B in place, these companies would be working to fix America's education system, paying more in salary to workers, and lifting more Americans into the middle class.

Without this system, companies would move a lot of jobs to Canada(which has a much easier immigration system) and to India and East Europe etc. Which would hurt the general economy real hard.

It's also helpful to see who else is reporting this story, as they all seem to be of the same expected level of journalism:

Herald Sun, Sunrise, UK's Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph.

Not a single slightly reputable Australian media company appears to have picked this one up, yet.

To give the benefit of the doubt, the Herald Sun said an unnamed MP spoke to them directly, which is certainly within the realm of possibility.

But the Herald Sun has been known to have to retract articles for quoting quotes that never happened.

That is when they give two weeks, not when they walk out.
Most people buy the meme that the US has an overblown military budget because it's a prevalent trope in movies/shows and because when they see the raw number they fail to account for how stupidly enormous the US federal budget is. If you told them it was only around 11ish percent and that most of that was boring stuff like troop salaries they wouldn't believe you. They simply see the cost of a new drone and fail to appreciate the vast sum of money that could be recouped from the tech.

Edit: Since the point score on this comment has oscillated up and down fairly quickly, here is a link from the World Bank detailing both total military spending and spending relative to gdp for various/most countries. A lack of consensus is fine but opinions should be informed when possible: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS
There's no legal mechanism in the US by which TikTok could be outright banned. Apple and Google could drop it from their app stores if pressured enough, but even that wouldn't be a government action.
If you run their code on their data you haven't reproduced their result. You have merely copied it. If their code works on another very similar data set to produce a very similar result, then you have something. Or if you're trying to understand the technique, you have to write your code and see if it reproduces their result on their data.
FYI: I work in higher ed. I take some classes for free as a benefit.

It’s not a bait-and-switch at all. My employer had been completely transparent throughout this whole transition and has been more than welcoming and accepting of comments and criticism. I was actually asked for opinions on a class I took 2 years ago so they can normalize the criticism.

My opinion as a student: I’m doing exceptionally well. Given the do-it-yourself pace I’m able to take a comfortable amount of time to answer questions. I’m genuinely understanding my questions. My instructor feels more accessible given that my only way of communicating is digitally. I’m honestly trying to get as many classes in as I can with this online format so I can benefit the most from it. If all the top 10% universities can offer online classes for free at DIY paces we’ll be so much better off. It’s one of the few ways we can emerge from this disaster better off as a society.

How can they even do this? - The visas are so they can attend class. If classes are online, there's no need for the visa as they can take the class from home. Not that hard to understand.

It is just from the Wikipedia article on dopamine, but it is not uncommon for neurotransmitters to have many unrelated purposes, both in the body and the brain.

Serotonin, the other "pleasurable" neurotransmitter does pretty much everything.

It makes sense from an evolutionary point of view. It is easier to repurpose a molecule we can already produce than to build an entirely new pathway.
If a Chinese IP requests a public static video file on Singapore AWS S3 (Or whatever the CDN tiktok use) and stored it on a Chinese server, does this mean duplication?
Another C7 user here checking in, had it for almost 3 years now - about 5hrs/day of mixed use TV/movies and it's still awesome.

No sign of burn-in and I check it with color slides every few months. I think the C6 panels were much more prone to burn in than C7.

Some people with C7 panels had problems with a bug where the automatic compensation program does not run which greatly accelerates burn in, but I believe LG is replacing TVs for people who get that.

My C7 looks absolutely stunning with good sources 4k/HDR.

Carousels are good for things users should be vaguely aware of but are not likely to click on. For example if you have a company that sells a widget, you can have the important menu about buying a widget on the top and below it a carousel of recent news with pictures.

These news can be about your participation in widget related conferences, about you passing obtaining environmental goals, about some R&D project promising some better widget some time in the future, about community involvement of your company etc.

Most customers will not click on those stories and they are not intended to. But they will get a changing site with changing pictures and will peripherally learn that you are a forward thinking socially involved company that is an R&D leader, participates in the community, etc.

I am not taking any sides here... but don't count your chickens until they hatch.
It's all in interest rates. Far-future speculative cash flows become worth more when interest rates are slashed, and the fed's response to the whole coranavirus situation is to cut interest rates to zero.
Anecdotally, most of my friends who kept their jobs felt guilt or shame for taking their economic impact payment when they didn't "need" it as much as someone else.

I suspect they are worried about Biden winning. A big part of their sales is from police forces for doing surveillance work.

Given the movement to cut back on police spending across states a Biden presidency would pretty much guarantee a massive cut in police related revenue.
It would help to know rate of pay in those areas. If these areas pay less then the loans were more appealing. Keep in mind the map doesn't tell us who / how many applied, only who got. As the article mentions some chose not to apply.

>Your math around pricing is wrong

Well I doubt that. From a business perspective pricing is what you can get so you're saying OP is using the wrong model.

But using the "what the market will bear model" you would need to use a rate of inflation that reflects nominal growth in dispospal income of the customer segment with the lowest disposable income. Then go a little further becuase the size of that demographic may have changed and changed shape. Estimate the demand curve, the elasticity of demand then maximise revenue in the short term

Alienate your biggest customer base at your peril, as always. Short term revenue maximization is not necessarily long-term revenue maximization and is frequently at odds with such.

So yes the original naieve application of cpi to retail price leaves something to be desired.
