aiming for 50-60% capacity during typical operation is the standard recommendation.

Efficiency usually starts tapering off below 50% and below 30% it falls off a cliff - however, that just means instead of an ideal 10W power consumption you're actually pulling 30W or something like that, it is usually not a big deal in absolute terms.

(there are also some exceptions, some of the platium/titanium PSUs actually can hold pretty decent efficiencies right down into the basement.)

750W is a good "standard" recommendation, that's enough for any one GPU on the market.

The rule of thumb is really more to guide people not to buy 1600W or 2000W monster PSUs just because "bigger number is better!".

(Although those giant PSUs do have the advantage that they can often run completely passively under load, they won't kick fans on until 50% or 60% load, which for a 1600W PSU means you can comfortably run a high-end GPU and a high-end CPU completely passively.)
Yup. I used to smoke 1-2 packs per week for many years (mostly in social settings), then went up to 1 pack per day due to general life stress pre-COVID19. When shelter in place began I freaked out, quit cold turkey, and immediately started running and lifting. The first few weeks were rough but I've been totally smoke free for about 4 months now and am in the best shape of my life!
Notable that Trump is not impacted.

If you had backdoor access to any Twitter account, why on earth wouldn't you tweet as Trump?
More of a b2b context. However, we've had an unannounced pentester achieve RCE on our systems. Not a fun situation.

At that point, we were forced by our contracts, and data protection laws, and a CEO aware of all of these, to shut the affected productive system down. We stopped all services, set the firewalls of our hoster to only accept traffic from our office and that's it, while figuring out wtf happened. Those measures overall reduce the situation to a known situation again. If someone in our office is hostile.. that's another issue.

After a bit of analysis, we figured out the IPs attacking us and we blacklisted those on the firewall of the other production systems. Eventually things cleared up to be a pentest no one told us about.

If the attack had moved into these other systems, we'd have to extend the nuclear solution to those systems too. At that point, we'd have to lockout some 30k+ FTE users. I think we'd be able to make national news with that for our customers. Except.. not good news.
They might have expected to get more than 150k USD from the scam.

Modem in sleep, according to datasheet, consumes ~10mW.

Current state of the art power consumption of the whole phone without the modem on at all is 110mW. (this is the value on which the 100h figure is based on)

So when the modem will be actually in sleep, it will not add much to the equation.
I believe some twitter admin users account was hacked who maybe has access to tweet anything from anyone's account. Twitter passwords/system is safe IMO.
Sorry, but you don't have the actual insight necessary to understand the complicated local politics of a foreign country. I understand it's become some sort of sport... but it's quite unproductive since you cannot possibly be expected to fully understand all the intricacies of foreign politics. Heck, citizens born and raised in this country have a hard enough time understanding it all too.

I think we should leave it at that. Nobody here criticized the leaders of your nation, because we would not be qualified to pass judgement on foreign politics. Neither are you.
The noise and evidence of a broken window acts as a strong deterrent - as well as a warning system to those inside. Using a stolen/copied/fabricated key is comparatively silent.

If there is such a level of privilege in Twitter's stack, that says a great deal about their technology. Insiders must not be able to act as users except in prescribed ways requiring two-person control, logged and 100% audited. Glass-breaking privilege escalation should set off every pager in the company.
It's not just weird, or different, though; there are reasons to prefer 0-based indexing: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/E...
You're right, it's not a very good argument. It's just like someone saying that not having children is selfish. Both aren't very good arguments.

It would be better to use some other kind of metric, like overall happiness vs suffering, perhaps like antinatalism attempts to do. For example, someone who enjoys working all the time, might see that as a boon for their children, and so decide that overall, it's better to have kids. While someone who doesn't like work might decide to empathize with their unborn children and decide it would be a blessing not to have them. Very subjective, but more well grounded arguments for each persons' decision.

It is not. People judge their own wealth relative to that of others. Thus reducing inequality is a lot more important than increasing total wealth.
Some people inhale, most don't. People shouldn't, but you know an interesting factoid is that the average US woman will consume (eat) 4lbs of lipstick in her lifetime without intentionally doing so. So too, cigar smokers invariably will be inhaling more cigar smoke by virtue of being around it and having it in their mouth than someone not smoking a cigar. Is the amount material to your health? That's the gamble you get to decide on.

I'm a very "generic" programmer that dabbles in an incredible variety of problems, from Windows GUIs to health monitor probes running on a BSD network appliance. You just summed up pretty much everything I've ever needed to know as well.

IMHO the #1 thing that most developers are missing is database query writing skills. There is a shocking amount of terribly inefficient SQL out there that is wasting everyone's time and money.
For what it's worth, Musk's defense on that one is that, where he grew up, "pedo guy" was generally used as an insult not to be taken literally, any more than "idiot" seriously means "IQ between 0 and 25". He does seem to be telling the truth on that one; his judgment is questionable on multiple counts, but it's not a case of deliberately making up an accusation.

"Elon Musk is right, it seems: in the 1980s the phrase "pedo guy" was used as an insult in Pretoria, where he grew up – and it was a generic reference that did not necessarily mean someone was a pedophile. But telling a court in the United States that the slang was "common" in South Africa may be stretching the truth, according to other people's recollections."

https://www.businessinsider.co.za/elon-musk-pedo-guy-really-...

He did then hire a private investigator, who apparently produced some suggestive reports: "that Unsworth had met his wife when she was eleven or twelve, and that he had been unpopular in the cave rescue team because he was "creepy"". Apparently on the basis of this, Musk made further accustions in a later email to a third party—one prefaced "off the record", but that wasn't legally binding:

"“I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you fucking asshole,” Musk wrote in the email, according to BuzzFeed News. “He’s an old, single white guy from England who’s been traveling to or living in Thailand for 30 to 40 years, mostly Pattaya Beach, until moving to Chiang Rai for a child bride who was about 12 years old at the time," the email continued." http://web.archive.org/web/20200605035828/https://www.busine...

Clearly impulsive, and he seems to have leapt to conclusions from the PI's report (I don't know exactly what was in it and how much was Musk reading between the lines) that seem to be false. But at that time, the accusation didn't seem baseless to him.
If they target @POTUS, I believe they'd be guilty of impersonating an elected official, which would make this an even more serious crime? I dunno
> Read the paper, they're making a distinction there because the zoonotic viruses are different to the endemic human ones, but closer to SARS-CoV2.

To your point, the paper says this:

> Even though we cannot exclude that some SARS-CoV-2 reactive T cells might be naïve or induced by completely unrelated pathogens5, this finding suggests that other presently unknown coronaviruses, possibly of animal origin, might induce cross-reactive SARS-CoV-2 T cells in the general population.

I did miss that detail. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll need to think more on this. My gut feeling is that, if these are zoonotic viruses that are not human-transmissible, how could this phenomenon be so widespread?

EDIT: Ah, it sounds like, they detected some that could only be explained by zoonotic CoVs, whereas the majority could be explained away by exposure to human coronaviruses? (I'm planning on circling back to read the paper more closely later but need to take a break for now)
You people really don't know Trump and his supporters.
No, it's more like claiming a regular whistle contains an additional imperceptibly high frequency, with the intent of trolling progressive people into confusing legitimately ordinary whistles for dog whistles.

In far-right internet communities, these sorts of troll-whistles are concocted all the time for their own amusement and to sow discord and backlash. The true dog whistles are the private, opaque lingo they use among themselves.

Sometimes these troll-whistles do grow to become actual dog whistles once news and social media take the bait for a while, but that's only because their manipulation game successfully worked. They're constantly trying to see how far they can push it. They exploit the ability to make something taboo purely through light astroturfing and propaganda work. The current political climate makes it very easy.

I sometimes find myself identifying real dog whistles and getting accused by one side of paranoia for pointing it out (until I provide detailed sources explaining the terminology), and identifying troll-whistles and getting accused by the other side of apologism for saying they've gotten played by trolls.
I like his point at the end, that the interviewing process is the most pragmatic one, not the best. It reminds me of boarding airplanes, where we've chosen pragmatic boarding strategies, but not the most efficient.

Remember people processes need to be the least bad, not the best. Most of the best are either unworkable or tyrannical.
What is that? I googled it and I didn't see anything, am I being stubborn?
They should have used unique wallets for each tweet and A/B tested the gullibility of the victim's audience.

I’ll point out that untangling health insurance from employment does not necessarily require a “Medicare for all”-style universal care system. This is a subtext to your comment since you jumped there from the parent’s complaint about employment-based insurance.

One-level deep inheritance can be great for abstracting common functionality, and multi-level inheritance sometimes makes sense in very large applications. What you want to watch out for is multi-level inheritance with an inheritance hierarchy that parallels some hierarchy that is merely incidental to the code's functionality, like the page navigation hierarchy.

I would say that having a multi-level inheritance hierarchy with greater than "constant" number of children per parent in one package is a code smell.
Maybe shorting wouldn't have been needed. Just buy from the dip and trust that the stock recovers when twitter confirms hacking. But requires a lot of cash that the attacker probably doesn't have.
I sort-of do write source code in one long line: I use an autoformatter so when I want to insert something, I usually just write it in one long line and hit save. If I have a syntax error the line won’t get formatted and then I have to stare at it.

That said, I think whitespace-based error recovery is a good idea and would probably still help in my case.

No, huge companies exists because large accumulations of capital put to productive uses allow for better economies of scale, producing better and cheaper services and products, which the public benefits from. Our overgrown states don't foster innovation and wealth, but hinder it.
One drawback of AIOs that I've read about is that you're no longer air cooling the VRMs surrounding the socket, which can decrease the life of your motherboard.

They also recently decided to include 4 120mm fans in the package, two push and two pull, which is a pretty crazy amount of air cooling.
I like this quote, but I think the point comes across better if you rephrase it:

I guess you can't quote Einstein, then.
Price is pretty good, surprisingly. Looks like they take RTMP in and output m3u8 (probably fmp4 behind the scenes). 2 second latency is also not bad.

Larger streamers on Twitch can get ~20k concurrent viewers. A long streaming day would be 10 hours. They would also be streaming from NA so using their example pricing suggests:

Input: $2/hour * 10 hours = $20

Output: $0.15 * 10 * 20,000 = $30k

A worst case scenario of $30,020/day of streaming. Still seems financially unviable. I guess Twitch can stay in business for now.

EDIT:

The coal plant was actually commissioned in the early 2000s, construction started 2007, but finished only recently in May 2020 [0].

It was supposed to replace 3 older ones that already went offline back in 2014. As such it has literally nothing to do with the Fessenheim 2 closing, the article trying to spin it like that is quite misleading.

Their reputation and the post-mortem/cleanup effort of this hack already wiped out a significant chunk of their advertising profit. Taking down the platform for one day would be a drop in the bucket in comparison.

They are causing extreme damage to lots of high-profile people's reputation every second the platform is kept active. I wouldn't be surprised if lawsuits appear as a result of this. Taking down the entire platform would be safer and would at least stop the damage.

Not really. It's not like there's a certain amount of smoking you can do and then you max out on the damage you can do to yourself, and any smoking after that point is "free" in terms of health consequences. It's cumulative.

It serves them right for driving up rents and housing costs in their cities, which contributes to homelessness.

It's a watered down version of the same schadenfreude people felt when the guys that hoarded warehouses full of N95 masks got burned. They made a large investment and took a risk, but their speculation was at the expense of the wider community, so they shouldn't be surprised when the community had no pity on them when their investment didn't work out.
> languages need redundancy in their grammar

IMO extra redundancy makes Greek much easier to read than Latin. The upfront learning is a bit more effort, but then reading it is much easier. Unlike Latin it has articles (which are declined and agree with the nouns/adjectives), and the endings on verbs & nouns have way less ambiguity. I can certainly see how the same would apply to programming languages.
If this is the case, the simple bitcoin scam might make sense as a quick way to cash in before an obvious exploit is patched? Compared to the speculation of hidden agendas at least.

I feel like a bug report might make more sense in that case though...

That is an astonishing amount of lipstick. Do you have a citation for this number?
The article discusses the possibility that nicotine may block the coronavirus cell surface receptors but dismisses it. What I’ve read about this tho theorized that since the virus seems to preferentially infect endothelial tissue that longer term smokers with lung and esophageal endothelial dysplasia would be protected against infection because there was no mechanism for the virus to enter the lung tissues.

Not saying it’s true, but the mechanism they report and dismiss here is not what I’d seen as the primary hypothesis about the protectiveness that smokers were demonstrating in the referenced studies
Academia seems to be the source of so much of this anger and resentment.

Maybe it's because teachers, rightly and wrongly, feel themselves to be the moral betters compared to the wealthy. And this is all an elaborate cope and power grab.

It's also obvious that some people have had great experiences with kids, yet someone posts it anyways, because this is a discussion forum where we share ideas, question and provide couterpoints. When someone posts a sentimental story as a singular data point on why kids are great, and follows it with a recommendation on having kids, they should expect feedback of all sorts, no?
