Consider the "unrealistic" part. How certain can you be that it will work out? Do you think all marriage-ending issues are foreseeable?

One source tells me that 41% of first marriages end in divorce. Divorce today is not generally considered a pleasant process, yet they go through with it, which is evidence that there was something seriously wrong with the relationship. Put differently, 59% of marriages were sufficiently correct choices.

Suppose couples spent an additional year on scrutiny before getting married. How much would that improve the success ratio? To 70%? 80%? What about the remaining 20%? Once they discover their choice was sufficiently wrong to want to go through with one of today's divorces, what should they do? Stick it out no matter how bad it gets? Really? Or if they do divorce, then what have you achieved? If they delayed by three years and got to 90%, would that be worth it?
I don't have any direct observation of bars.

I stopped going outside because it's so crowded and people appear so uninterested in doing anything to help others. During the phase when masks were a new thing, everyone was well-behaved and it didn't bother me as much. People have gotten bored with the rules, so I now minimize the time spent outside. Maybe that's dumb, because there is no risk of outdoor transmission. I'm not going to bet my life on it.

Maybe everyone else reached the same conclusion as me, and bars are totally abandoned on Friday night. But I doubt it. People are just living their normal lives right now, and don't have COVID-19 because they're lucky, not because they took any steps to reduce the spread.

The thing that really gets me are the respirators with exhaust ports. Those are great if you are using a table saw all day. But they do nothing to prevent you from giving me your respiratory disease, which is kind of the point of masks right now.
It sounds like a different situation to me - In the Sany case the projects were simply blocked, there was no question of paying off the treasury department so the deal could happen.
What are matrix headlights?
But I remember very clearly the period in late February and early March when authorities in every country were making that same claim. "We only have a few dozen patients, which is nothing like the true outbreaks in Iran and Italy, we'll surely be able to get it under control without extreme measures." Is there a reason to expect Vietnam's current outbreak will follow a different trajectory?
> At the very least, I'd be surprised if the average current spaceflight customer was more driven by status than by excitement about space per se.

Absolutely agree with this. There are far better ways of flexing status on Earth than paying for a space trip.
"The outer addresses don't need to be plaintext"

Yes they do, because that is what you will actually be accessing on the physical system. Call it what you want, but at some point you need to have a physical address that you will read from for any computation to proceed.

"If I reveal to you 2^-256 bits of data per operation"

Sure, but that is not going to help you get around the fundamental need to simulate random access by performing linear scans when you are using FHE. Think of it this way: you need to read some physical addresses, somehow, regardless of how you encode your data. If you only revealed a vanishingly amount of information about the physical addresses to access, then you would not have given the processor enough to do anything more efficient than a linear scan.

Now assume the processor could somehow access fewer locations than a linear scan accesses, which implies that it does not access all physical addresses. The processor can try to query all logical addresses (since it must store that much data anyway it should be able to enumerate them), and choose two such that one accessed a particular physical address and another did not (this must exist, because everything is being accessed -- if somehow such an address could not be found then all queries will be linear scans). The two logical addresses must differ in a particular bit position. What the processor can do is to take a given ciphertext, homomorphically compute its individual bits, and then insert each bit in the position where the two addresses differ -- and then use the access pattern to determine the value of each bit.
Surely there is leveling on it? Check the dash board or drivers manual. What model?

Automatic beam cutoff is overrated since it too ofent just is a bit too late.
groups like Audi/Porsche/BMW have trouble bringing their fancy LED setups to America due to laws pertaining to high / low beams -- meanwhile every Jack and Jill on the road has glaringly illegal aftermarket Xenon bulb setups in refractor headlight housings rather than proper projectors, blinding the hell out of everyone on the road, and the police seem to do nothing about it.

I mean, hey -- i'm usually happy about automotive modifications that the police leave me alone about, but this aftermarket headlight trend is many times worse than a nuisance loud exhaust -- it can literally blind you for seconds during night driving.
Perfectly fine meaning #2:

v. ir·ra·di·at·ed, ir·ra·di·at·ing, ir·ra·di·ates
v. tr.

To expose to radiation. To treat with radiation: irradiate farm produce so as to destroy bacteria.

To shed light on; illuminate.

To manifest in a manner suggesting the emission of light; radiate: irradiate goodness.

v. intr. Archaic

To send forth rays; radiate.

To become radiant.

[Latin irradiāre, irradiāt-, to illuminate : in-, on; see in-2 + radiāre, to shine; see radiate.]
A friend of mine has this type of headlights on his BMW, and while they are very cool at night with the adaptive beams that light the road without blinding other drivers, I can't say that I find them to be a must-have, and I'd be hard-pressed to pay the premium to get them on my car compared to my current xenon lights that can only corner as I turn the wheel.

Unless you're frequently driving at night, you'll be just fine with halogen or xenon lights.
Depends on the cost, and depends on the benefit. What I find interesting is that many SERPs on Google don't even lead to another page anymore[0].

Still, there are plenty of niche areas where the cost/benefit still definitely makes sense - some areas of law, local service businesses, etc.

We aren't comparing it to the total number of PCs in the world and that marketshare relevance. I am sure there aren't particularly accurate statistics for that usage anyway.

This is a comparison between Linux on ARM and Windows on ARM. Not against Windows vs Linux as a whole. I assume this is in the context of future consumer desktop platforms on ARM hardware. In that context, OEMs who want to release a functional desktop product with ARM chips would find it a lot easier/appealing with ARM than on Windows at present.

In that context, Linux on ARM is vastly ahead of Windows of ARM.

My argument is that the total number of raspberry pis being used a Linux ARM desktop outstrips the amount of Windows ARM desktops (which are composed of surface RT/X tablets).

I am a solutions architect/senior software engineer with experience solving complex problems and scaling cloud services. Recently I have been more focused on modern data warehousing techniques and ETL. I enjoy designing data intensive applications and then working on the ground to break down the architecture into smaller pieces and setting up a development environment where juniors can succeed. I have experience managing/mentoring junior engineers in this context.

The desktop client (linux, macos, windows) is a work in progress; alpha builds are available. See the third link in my comment to which you replied. I could have been more clear on that point — I replied on my phone just before going to bed.

The wallet functionality is tied to Ethereum, but the chat functionality works separately.

Originally Status used the Whisper protocol, which used to ship with some Ethereum clients but never gained real traction. Status has switched to a protocol named Waku that's in development but progressing nicely.

If at some point you're interested and have questions, let us know! (I'm on the team developing the desktop client)
Were they ever gone? I thought original quality just counted against your storage limit while the compressed quality is unlimited.
You adjust it.
The 4A branding is only something a tech company would come up with. Obviously its a lower cost model, but there is something magically less appealing about that 'A' designation.
How well do they work for pedestrians and cyclists?
depending on the vehicle model, the differences may only be in coding / software, as well, so research that as well before investing money in expensive headlight units.

one disadvantage of all of this cool headlight technology is that the modules often cost over $1000 each - painful repair cost for even minor accidents!
I really hate led headlights here in USA, They are too bright and need to be banned. People using these should be jailed for endangering lives. I don't know why but This seems to be particularly common here on big pickup trucks, which is even worse because they hit you right in your eyes if you are driving a regular car due to height difference.

Also, I've had adaptive headlights on my subaru forever.
Yeah, that behaviour's designed to counter spam and unwanted bots, but it does mean newbies need to be invited into a community. Meanwhile it's lonely talking into the void.

You could connect to a pub — an automatically-friendly bot account; see a list at https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server/wiki/Pub-Servers — scuttle.space seems to be active right now.

It's certainly not a standard feature, at least for normal cars. They're available as an option or as an aftermarket upgrade.

When I was younger, I could work out just fine, off nothing more than pure motivation and drive. I did that for a solid 5 years - lost 70 lbs, gained weight and muscle, and transformed my body. Good times.

But then around my mid 20s, working out just got boring. My body started deteriorating, which made working out even harder.

Sad to say, these days I can't even do a light jog without something to distract me from the jogging itself. Either music in my ears, or some TV-screen on the treadmill.

But once I can focus on something else, I can work out just fine.
Status now uses the Waku protocol, Whisper is pretty much dead.
Wow. Thank you. This is enlightening in ways that you cannot even imagine. For example I thought maybe the gut problems had been causing other complications which resulted in the neuropathy. Now, I can maybe begin to look at the gut issues as the sole catalyst here.

Anyways thank you so much. I will run this buy them and see what they say. Now I have a new path to explore and some new found hope as my options were running out.

That is slightly different.

Wealthy people who want to signal wealth display conspicuously expensive things, which pineapples once were. That’s obvious enough. Luxury beliefs are about expressing class, which is distinct from wealth though somewhat correlated.

In fact, signaling wealth, or signaling it crudely enough, often signals lower class.

What percent of small businesses fail every year?

To understand the damage, you have to know how what the baseline closure rate is. I am not sure what the rate is in the restaurant industry, but it seems extremely high even in regular times.
It's described in the article.
Now, my sample size is small, but I've noticed that people react to voice interfaces with what I can only think to call "dumb foreigner syndrome" where they actively slow down and simplify their speech as if they were talking to someone that barely understood the language. I think this comes from familiarity with bad voice interfaces, but maybe we should indulge this expectation of basic but explicit commands, rather than rich but imprecise language.

Dare I say it, but maybe we should look to the likes of Zork for inspiration for voice input.
Not just marketing, but also politics. For example, early on in the pandemic, the Chinese government launched a push to reframe their response as a shining example for the rest of the world rather than a failure - and at the heart of this propganda effort was a publication explaining their approach so others could copy it, which claimed the whole thing was founded on mass IR thermometer screening to find people to test. (The document did not appear to be an accurate description of how China actually suppressed Covid-19.) The WHO then jumped on this, doing a tour of major Western publications to amplify China's claims. Journalists and politicians in Western countries also then merrily lept on this to go after governments they disliked, pointing at the lack of IR temperature screening to claim that their governments weren't taking it seriously like those in places like China.
I did this on my 2003 Volkswagen GTi. I swapped the Jetta front end onto it and found a set on a vw forum. They were not cheap but it was amazing to have euro stock OEM HIDs while most everyone else I knew were running junk Chinese kits.
It could, but it keep getting rejected in committee votes, much to the frustration of Bjarne.
Ah yes – we also support “Open Registration”, so new users can register.
I'd have done the opposite as I never take my phone near water. But then I'm a weirdo who'd gladly pay $2000 for a 4" flagship if such a thing was for sale.
> It might also be worth pointing out that for the arrow buttons on the Laws of UX site, the animation itself literally is the “complete response”.

This is where we disagree. The animation is exactly what I mean by "avoidably long". It interrupts the user the same way the long response times mentioned in the paper do. If you quote this paper, expect people to say that it means what it clearly states since this is a source of real frustration for many of us. As I mentioned earlier, some people do appreciate a more paced "experience", but many of us never want such an experience from a website and just want rapid response.
It's an option in pretty much all middle-class cars (e.g. Golf).
Burning man tickets?

Expensive wines/liquors never stopped being a flex of wealth/status.

Luxury consumption has become much more diverse, so there isn't something as universal as the pineapple anymore. But if you spend time around it, you can feel it in the air.
Julia started with a single scoping algorithm. In v1, they got two (toplevel and function-level).

Now, Julia has three distinct scoping algorithms.

See the three distinct behavior for the same two pieces of code:

Program Ⓐ:

l = 0
for i = 1:10
l = i
end
println(l)

Program Ⓑ:

local l = 0
for i = 1:10
l = i
end
println(l)

• REPL: Program Ⓐ gives “10”, Program Ⓑ gives “UndefVarError: l not defined”.

• TOPLEVEL: Program Ⓐ gives “0”, Program Ⓑ gives “UndefVarError: l not defined”.

• FUNCTION: Program Ⓐ gives “10”, Program Ⓑ gives “10”.
Right I'm saying there are other theory-grounded ways of discussing language capability beyond Turing completeness.

In my experience, people driving trucks and people with high/blindingly bright headlights are highly overlapping sets of people. So you can at least feel consolation in that those people are probably not surprised in being pissed off by you.
One thing I wonder -- Google Sheets has relatively restrictive limits on the amount of data you can have per sheet. I think something like 400k cells? What happens when a customer scales up to the point that their data doesn't fit anymore? I guess maybe users at that scale can afford to just buy a bespoke CRM solution / hire a dedicated programmer?
Large businesses are the engines that drive the economy. Small businesses are the future big businesses.

Countries have tried preventing big businesses before, and favoring small ones. It never worked out very well.
This should be a notice to all tech founders, who can shortly expect a massive degradation in global FCPA adherence and may expect foreign reciprocity in key markets.
re: "aftermarket xenon bulb setups"

Is this still a big problem? While I would have agreed with you, say, back in the 2000s when the whole "import tuner" craze was in full swing, I don't think this is popular anymore. The car mod scene seems to be close to extinct now, with whats left being a lot less crazy than those in the past.
>Searle calls this derived intentionality which is different from intrinsic intentionality

But what makes derived intentionality not abstract? What definition of abstract are you using that excludes derived intentionality while including intrinsic intentionality?

But lets look more closely at the differences between derived and intrinsic intentionality. Derived intentionality is some relation that picks out a target in a specified context. E.g. a binary bit picks out heads/tails or day/night in my phone depending on the context set up by the programmer. Essentially the laws of physics are exploited to create a system where some symbol in the right context stands in a certain relation with the intended entities. We can boil this process down to a ball rolling down the hill along one track vs another track is picking between two objects at the bottom of the hill.

How does intrinsic intentionality fare? Presumably the idea is that such a system picks out the intended object without any external context needed to establish the reference. But is such a system categorically different than the derived sort? It doesn't seem so. The brain relies on the laws of physics to establish the context that allows signals to propagate along specific circuits. The brain also stands in specific relation to external objects such that the necessary causal chains can be established for concepts to be extracted from experience. Without this experience there would be no reference and no intentionality. So intrinsic intentionality of this sort has an essential dependence on an externally specified context.

But what about sensory concepts and internal states? Surely my experience of pain intrinsically references damaging bodily states as seen by my unlearned but competent behavior in the presence of pain, e.g. avoidance behaviors. But this reference didn't form in a vacuum. We represent a billion years of computation in the form of evolution to craft specific organizing principles in our bodies and brains that entail competent behavior for sensory stimuli. If there is a distinction between intrinsic and derived intentionality, it is not categorical. It is simply due to the right computational processes having created the right organizing principles to allow for it.
Even more importantly: Why is America still stuck with cars that honk when they're locked and that have indicator lights flashing in the same color as the tail-lights? One is a nuisance, the other one a straight-up safety issue.
more importantly, why is America stuck with narrow angle side mirrors?
This was my experience as well. When I see geniuses that coast through everything thrown at them, I wonder if I have any advantage over them in the future, having struggled before, or they're just so smart that nothing touches them.
