From the article:

>they weigh 10 percent less than their forged equivalents and feature an integrated and closed cooling duct in the piston crown that's apparently unable to be reproduced using traditional manufacturing methods. The decrease in weight and temperature results in an extra 30 horsepower on top of the GT2 RS's already mighty 700.

So.. 10% less weight and ~4% increase in performance. But what about the increase in price? 3D printing is magnitudes slower than forging and probably many times more expensive. I guess some Porsche owners would gladly pay for these improvements.
I really do think a "google maps" for police activity needs to be created -- including every single arrest, prosecution , subsequent legal claim... you should be able to rate police officers like restaurants on Yelp
But you can have both! Why are we even arguing about this?

Nothing is preventing you from having both strong cryptography AND obscurity, except for your insistence that hiding the key is a reasonable thing to do. It isn't reasonable. You should never attempt to hide a key using steganography when you can memorize a passphrase instead.

Hiding the key needlessly breaks the "strong cryptography" part. But you don't even need to hide the key. You can still have all the obscurity you want by hiding the ciphertext and memorizing the key.

If you do it this way, you'll still have your obscurity, but you'll also get strong cryptographic guarantees for free.
Same. I finally found the time to get it fixed, and I used the iMessage chat. After going through a reset and answering some basic questions (version numbers, etc.), they just sent me a replacement.

I had the AppleCare and paid via Amex, the latter which gives me a longer warranty.
I'm curious as well. I 100% support black lives matter and started to rename some git repos from master to main but I notice this master used in git isn't a master/slave type of master but the master copy, the version that every thing looks to as the source of truth. This is not the same as the original. Version 75 is not the original, version 1 is, but it is the master.

I don't mind renaming those to main in fact I started looking into automating the conversion but at the same time it does seem like mission creep. main doesn't actually have the same meaning. In pressing CDs/DVDs/Blu-rays we have "gold masters" which are used to create the molds for the presses for the discs. A master key opens all locks. Those usages all seem unrelated and arguably so does the git usage.

Removing master/slave from tech seems 100% correct. Removing all uses of the word "master" like Darth Vader "I was but a learner but now I am the master" seems wrong and if we aren't going to remove all of them then why are we remove it from git since like those others usages it and zero relation to the problem?
Interesting - I have a fixed IP at home and this shows me having downloaded a Debian ISO recently, which is correct.
Saying "ENV," though, isn't writing badly. Or maybe it is, but it's not a sign of sloppiness. It's not like "JAVA," which was never a thing. It shouldn't trigger your brain defect detector.
You can lose your data you put to the service, obviously, if someone can get over the broken oauth implementation.
How can people consider anything else? 1% excess mortality isn't acceptable. Hospitalising 5-10% is crippling hospitals. The ongoing health issues in 20% will haunt us for years after we have a vaccine and before we do, we face the prospect that post-exposure immunity might be measured in months.

Only idiots think this is worth ignoring.

Coincidentally, they're the same idiots that came in a day late and a dollar short when it was time to close borders and quarantine travelers. We could have stopped this.

Most of the exploit scripts are written in python. Easy string manipulation and third party packages (angr, ctftools etc)
I'm not talking about buses, but regular drivers for devices on those buses. The buses are universal, that means that they can be supported on any architecture, so drivers for devices on those busses should not be limited to any single arch just by the choice of the language.

the GT2 RS has a base price of $294,250. I doubt these pistons cost any increment that anyone that buys a porsche will care.
People like to act like this is the end of the world. It's easy to blame media here, as media is taking a handful of cases out of millions and making sweeping (end of the world) claims.
I just started it a few days ago. I’m really enjoying it. I thought cryptonomicon was his best work since it raised a lot of interesting societal questions “what’s the role of government if it can’t tax you (because all transactions are secure and anonymous)”? This new one seems to raise some new ones.
Jimmy Page is known to have shaved down is #1 Les Paul neck to be incredibly slim [1]. It make sense because as much as I like Les Pauls, I never really liked the neck profile of mine. It's worth mentioning that there are tons of different neck profiles for Les Pauls throughout the ages, too, so there isn't just one "Les Paul" neck.

Are airpods really universally agreed upon to be a "perfect product"?

Are we forgetting the price tag, the limited use time, the fact that they add 3 disconnected parts to your phone/headphones setup, or the fact that they were released along with the removal of a headphone jack, preventing users from opting out?
I got really excited, installed the service and then an hour later tried to fire up VirtualBox and was very disappointed.
Some people who care about car performance would gladly pay twice the price to get that 4% increase.
Did you even read my post? Do you think people in Sweden still went to the the cinema watching 2h long movies with 200 other people in the same room when everyone around them closed everything? Do you think it needed a ban/regulation for that to stop? People in Sweden knew exactly what everyone around them did. Also Sweden death per million is one of the highest despite the fact they got it rather late and hospitals where officially never overwhelmed.
Surely they are innovating on the printing techniques themselves beyond off the shelf stuff (or having partnerships with the makers of the equipment).

If they can get the process reproducible and consistency up, I don't see why it couldn't be productionized
I’m sure you could learn C++ and how to work on browsers - it’s no harder than any other software.
I read it last year. Stephenson is one of my favorite authors.

It drags at the end, Stephenson writes great books, but he's never figured out how to end one.
I said static IP in my comment above, although that's not quite accurate. They're "sticky" IP addresses so don't normally change. No CGNAT either, but there was downtime a couple of days ago. I suppose my IP could have changed, as I've made no attempt to remember it.

I think I'll actually follow up with my ISP. Cause if there is some rogue software/hardware on my network I'd love to know about it!

Yeah, 30hp is a lot, esp considering the weight is reduced.
> The point is, even though we here in CA started the lockdown relatively early, we've never gotten the case numbers down to a manageable level. I'm not sure why not.

Because we started reopening just as the curve was flattening, without bending the numbers down much.
Does it really matter? If it costs say an extra $500 per piston will people really not buy that $290k car?
These are limited edition cars. A relative handful are made. That’s often where a manufacturer goes to more customized tooling and parts. Keep in mind Porsche owners of these types of cars will often easily spend 20-50k usd customizing the most minute details such as stitching color of the seatbelt, etc. Factoring a few thousand extra dollars in engine cost is easy.

GT2 RS is already close to $200,000USD (If you can even get one.) Also ask around on Rennlist how many GT2 owners have popped the motor requiring a full replacement in the first 10,000 miles.
Does Studying for Whiteboard Interviews Make You a Better Engineer?
By far the biggest thing we've missed with the book I mentioned was the distribution and marketing reach. It was a niche craft industry so it was possible to get interest from individual stores and retailers, but since demand came piece by piece it was only really possible to ship one or two boxes of books at a time (at an average cost of around ~$10 per book via courier, depending on country) rather than leveraging cheap container shipping along with a bunch of different titles into a warehouse or as part of a big push campaign, like a publisher could.

I did a lot of the editing myself, my writing is fine, but my feedback was mostly typos/grammar/phrasing - not a coherent look at the overall structure and content which a more experienced editor may do.
> Even if you can see the SQL, that doesn't mean you can tell what it's doing

You can. I mentioned EXPLAIN in my comment.

And the query planner isn’t a black box. Once you read the documentation on how the order of operations is determined by the engine, you can start to be thinking on the same plane as the query engine. You can infer how a query will use indices and the way the WHERE clause will be used.

Admittedly it’s not as easy as using an ORM, but if you’re a SQL expert then you can make queries much more optimized. You’ll never internalize how a SQL interpreter reads your queries unless you do it.

I’m talking about huge tables that are hit many times a second, where you need to start thinking like a Formula One team, being creative with queries to shave off hundreds of milliseconds.
I see, it's mergers all the way down!

Discontinued parts also included passive parts originally made by the HP Components subsidiary from the 1980s, such as special Schottky diodes and PIN diodes for RF/microwave applications, up to 10 GHz, still perfectly working today. For example, HP's jelly-bean HSMS‑282x series 6 GHz Schottky diodes was the go-to choice in RF circuits (even at lower frequencies like VHF and UHF) for three decades and still in production as of 2016 - you can find their datasheets with an HP logo, another with an Agilent logo, another with an Avago logo, and the last one with a Broadcom logo - and they eventually came to an end when Broadcom killed them in 2017 after Avago's acquisition.

I was hit by this. On a recent weekend I was tinkering with a DIY software-defined amateur radio receiver design and needed some RF diodes, only to find all of them have been killed, and similar parts from NXP were not stocked by the local distributor, 10-day shipping... A friend told me that they have switched to Skyworks diodes since then. The legendary life and unfortunate death of HP diodes.

You're missing the point. If all of China's top skilled labor moves to the US, even if they are cheaper then any manufacturer that needs the highest quality will have no choice but to manufacture in the US.

Limiting immigration of highly skilled workers is a massive national security failure. It's a huge mistake. If a Chinese or Russian top tier engineer / AI researcher / wants to immigrate to the US we should roll out the red carpet because they're a strategic asset.
I recently took part in a 50 person conference. The convention we used was to keep camera off unless you had something to say. Then only turn the camera on when called upon by the moderator. It worked great!
You can think of it more as a return to normalcy, "master" in VCS is relatively unique to git.

p4/piper is MAIN

I'd be upset if we were changing commonly held terminology or if it had more meaning.. but it's completely arbitrary and all it costs is the minor reeducation of all github/git users and the invalidation of all prior documentation.
From your own source: Adorno was opposed to it once it grew to disrupt his own campus - to a point - then turned on just that element of it.

Critical theory and its descendants are alive and well. It has roots in Marxism (as per Wikipedia[0]). That he teaches a class on this history and that you disagree with his hagiography is fine.

Adorno and Lind have nothing to do with the conversation. Peterson's books and class lectures go far more into things than a couple Wikipedia pages, and you've basically just tied him to a couple small events/people and tried to call fascist..

You immediately jumped to guilt by association (Lind), brought out of context things (Cultural Marxism), cited a small example to try and refute a large body of work with Adorno (nice Motte and Bailey).

>There is also the significant risk that you are wrong. I haven't seen this mentioned; maybe it's obvious and you've considered that aspect too.

Yes! This is maybe the most likely outcome!

However, to date I have not heard a good reason why Tesla should be valued higher the the other leading car companies combined. There is no moat for them. Anything they are doing, all of the other car companies can easily retool to do ... they don't because not everyone wants an electric car.
Even with Lime Microsystems, their chip barely functions compared to the equivalent ADI part. Sure, it's nameplate specs are nice but it the dynamic range is crap and the EVM barely passes the LTE spec.

Even worse is that basically the only product using the chip is Lime themselves so trying to spin your own product would be a nightmare. ADI has a nice eval board and reference design for their chips and you can control it using the lib-iio framework which is built into mainline linux.
Price difference for relatively low run orders probably isn't that bad. I'd estimate 3d printing costs to be on the order of 250-400$/piston in quantity before post print machining for OD and wrist pin tolerance.
Having consulted for a major glass manufacturer I can assure you that recycled glass is a coveted resource. It's easier to work with and it's less energy intensive. I wasn't involved much in that side of the business so I don't know the details but I was given tours and cullet (recycled) glass was a BIG deal.
Will Company Cutbacks and the Growth of Remote Affect Engineering Pay?
I am assuming that users go to their bank website by typing it into google and then clicking on their bank as a result.

Google is HSTS. The bank may or may not be (what a sad state of affairs, but i digress) but the link from google will at least be https.

What websites do you have in mind that are not https and that average users enter personal information that could lead to identity theft on?

> having information about general activity can in itself be a privacy concern, whether or not that information is readable.

It definitely can be in some threat models. In the context of average user being the target of drive-by identity theft, i struggle to see a realistic threat model for traffic-analysis of encrypted network traffic.

Vue 3 UX Wins with Async Components and Suspense
Plenty of 100 million dollar movies have been entirely funded by the people [0]. They pay using a thing called “tickets”, or sometimes by paying a small fee to download it to their homes.

To your point, the vast majority of media and software is proprietary, though much of it is supporting in nature and not directly for sale. Nevertheless, shouldn’t publishers be free to choose how they fund their creations?

If we take away the option of artificial scarcity then an entire highly trained professional class will be out of work. While I don’t think Jonny Depp, for example, is worth $650M [1], I don’t personally think that’s a great option for the editors, writers, extras, gaffers, and many other professionals that work together to make great media.

Companies are motivated to maximise the revenue from making this stuff. If they could make more money without copyright, they would have done this already. (And radio is a terrible example: commercial radio simply plays advertising for artists, called “songs”, 24x7)

What is QuantGov?
Because the borrower is out of options, and will have to resort to engaging in an interest based transaction, whereby he is exploited by the lender. It's not really voluntary at that point. Do you think anyone in their right mind wants to be on the paying side of an interest based loan?
2 notes:

I have a friend in SF who has been given the runaround by Sonic. He believes that Sonic's ticketing system is somehow integrated with AT&T and that AT&T is closing his install ticket after they finish an install at a different residence.

The City of SF bid on the utility infrastructure in the city that was formerly owned by PG&E. Hopefully this will allow the city to streamline installation of pole-based fiber installs, but I'm not sure how much PG&E ownership was causing problems before the auction.
I'm sorry, I should have clarified: as far as I know, mdadm on RAID1 with consumer-grade spinning rust will not be able to save you from bit rot (or at least I haven't seen evidence to that effect). I haven't tried on RAID6 (where there's at least a chance due to the data duplication such that the flipped bit will be "out-voted" by the parity spindles).

I rarely write my own class and then use that as a parent of a new class. But I very frequently write a class that inherits from a parent class when I use a framework.

When I teach inheritance to students, it’s not usually with the mindset that “You’ll use inheritance a lot in the original code you write.” The mindset I teach with is, “You’ll see inheritance often in the codebases you work with.”

I mean, it pretty much comes down to how much you trust your VPN. Depending on your jurisdiction, trusting someone that is legally forced to keep logs vs some who's income and reputation depends on not doing so might the best bet (through VPNs definitely have survived giving out shady data).

Also, if your VPN is located somewhere exotic and just somewhat uncooperative, the bureaucratic overhead of getting the logs, getting the IP, sending the request to your VPN and then matching the result with your ISP might be long enough for the logs to expire.

Scroll down to the countries starting to ban fossil fuel vehicles. I think you’re fine for the next 10-15 years, after that I think it’s hazy whether fossil fuel vehicles will be permitted to be used at all if battery electrics take off. My bet is we reach a tipping point and an outright ban around 2035, if not earlier due to refinery unprofitability due to volume declines.

I do look forward to Porsche attempting a competitive EV though!
