The last 10-20% of the charging causes most battery wear (many times more than in the mid band). So charging from almost-full to full many times per day is going to be harder on the battery than charging fewer times per day.

This is especially pronounced on phones, where batteries are already calibrated to have a high charge cutoff (ie battery longevity vs capacity compromise is heavily at the capacity end).
You probably could take them out after the car dies and use for another decade or two, if you found a good use for them ;)
Interpretability in Machine Learning: A Broad Overview
This font is amazing. It’s like the letters and words finally jump out rather than then blend into a mush. Having this on Kindle is a game changer. I’m still upset Pocket got rid of the font though. That was one of the main reasons I started using Pocket.
The other side is that keeping some extensions closed-source probably allows the VS Code team to access more of Microsoft's work. I would guess that the proprietary parts of ms-code.cpptools are using code from Visual Studio and other closed-source Microsoft tooling.
Exactly! And you could always tell what the particular element will look like by just visually parsing the class names.

I'm not sure your assumption is accurate. In part because people generally don't study architecture at university, have careers in architecture, and do apprenticeships when talking about software architecture (and there's hardware architecture too, though the same applies though perhaps slightly less so). But all these are common when talking about architecture in the built environment.

The other reason I'd question your assumption is I'm an architect of the type that designs buildings. Though I don't practice much these days, I still keep one active license and one inactive license just for giggles and because it's occasionally more convenient to say "I'm an architect" when asked "What do you do?" than to describe what I actually do because I'm not exactly sure what that is beyond it being just the things I do.

There is (or was) a sort of standard student cannon in the US that included Ching's Form, Space and Order and Alexander's A Pattern Language. Alexander's work of course overlaps with software architecture, so it's "arguably" relevant either way -- though it's not a very interesting argument to me and so not one I'd wish to have.

Security also depends on your threat model: Who are you worried about accessing your data. (Privacy and security are actually two sides of the same coin.) You do not want hackers accessing your data, because they do bad things with it. I also don't want Google accessing my data, because they do bad things with it. Google uses data to harm competitors (of which I am not, thankfully) and people who speak ill of them[0] (which... yeah) so I should probably be pretty concerned about them knowing much about me.

SCN9A variants have certainly been linked to changes in pain sensitivity (in both directions), but where have they been linked to changes in risk for opiate addiction? Even for the variant identified in this paper, the fact that it was linked to increased pain doesn't necessarily mean that it would put one at an increased risk for opiate addiction; in fact, you could easily imagine the opposite.

Furthermore, in spite of the strong genetic evidence, especially for the cases for congenital pain insensitivity, it has also been hard for the industry to develop Nav1.7 inhibitors, but that could mostly be due to targeting specificity.
I always say that the wonder of the Internet is the collaborative Wikipedia, not Facebook walled garden. Stack Overflow network of sites is another of the great Internet wonders. Non technical people can not grasp how fantastic they are. Younger developers do not imagine a world without SO.

In modern markets, prices are overwhelmingly determined by demand rather than cost.

People with more problems pay more to get insurance because they cannot afford not to. Insurance companies are not run at-cost.

By giving them more excuses to scrutinize your lifestyle, you are just exposing yourself to the risk of them, one day, objecting to anything in it to raise prices on something you cannot afford not to pay.

I don't think the key data that TikTok is gathering is anything you can really block on your phone. It doesn't ask for your phone number, it doesn't ask contacts, it doesn't ask for access to your messages. Instead, it looks for trends, it looks at who you are.

I (18 years old) have used TikTok for about 2 months, before deleting it because it simply got too addictive. In that time it learned what my favourite games are, what shows I watched as a child, my political views, my eating preferences, my technology preferences. The list goes on. While I'm not sure how much of this is saved in a black box and only known by the algorithm and how much they can extract, I'd argue that this is many times more valuable for China that my personal phone.

Furthermore the power to influence the algorithm, subtle and slightly of course, may slowly change the minds of literal millions of teens.

these extensions are a key part of my workflow so imo vscode in effect is proprietary as i would not find value in it without these. this appears to be an opinion that is shared with other devs here. it seems you simply handwaving that opinion away as immaterial is more divisive than someone asserting that if you appreciate OSS you should use OSS.
"I think the war analogy is useful, in that the Federal government should be able to have access to higher authority to execute on strategies quickly."
Serious question, why? We come up with checks and balances for a reason. We have existing laws on how to handle pandemics, and states have existing laws for isolation and quarantine. We have the CDC, the Public Health Service, the NIH all as existing agencies with duties and plans that were supposed to be used for this. And those plans were ignored. We had months to prepare before the first cases appeared in the US. Our current federal leaders have proposed multiple strategies that would harm people without helping, such as promoting unproven therapies. What part of any of the federal response to this makes you think they should have had more authority?

How to Setup Vim as an IDE for React/TypeScript
Depending on the size of your array, the problem with battery storage is that to actually capture the full output of a moderately sized array would require an enormous battery bank. So large that almost nobody would have one large enough. You'll just be throwing away generated power.

By contrast, being grid-tied gives the peak power output somewhere to go/something to do.

Now, if you live somewhere where your year round electrical needs are roughly constant, this is less of an issue: just size the array (and the bank) appropriately for your needs, there won't be much excess power.

However, here in New Mexico, my wife and I use very little electricity for 6 months a year, a bit more for 3 months and quite a lot for the remaining 3 months because we have heat pumps for heating during the (cold) winter. Consequently, there's a compromise involved in sizing the array, and in my case, I picked a size that ought to a little too small in the winter and a lot too big in the summer, with the goal of net-zero for the year overall. That means that in the summer, I've got oodles of excess electrical power. Batteries on site would be impractical to store it.

I'm no fan of TikTok, but in general the US president doesn't get to tell US companies what to buy, and he doesn't get to tell US persons what internet sites they can or cannot visit. (Yes, I realize it does happen e.g. for gambling sites, but it's generally a game of whack-a-mole for the government because there is no Great Firewall of the US.) If ByteDance just told Trump to go to hell, what specific legal and technical actions could he take to stop Americans from using TikTok?

I'm worried about precedent here, and whether this is just a pretext for creating a GFoUS.

Thanks for the reply. As I replied elsewhere, the combination of earbuds and wireless charging was a perfect solution for my wife.

Personally I don’t know anyone who routinely charges their phone anytime other than when in bed. And personally I don’t know anyone who has an issue with all day battery life. I’ve no doubt these are still issues for some people but again, wireless charging pads are cheap.

I agree multi device Bluetooth sucks. But that’s not your only option. My QC35 are great for two-device use cases. In your scenario I’d use a wired connection for one of the three devices and your instant switching criteria is solved.

(I’m assuming you’re fine with one wired connection given that you’re criticising the removal of headphone jacks.)
here in Australia we had home schooling with the support of the teachers. it sucked but it was do-able and it worked.

Much of the US could do that as well, but the real problem i see is that in the US, School is how many children get the only meal of the day they'll get.

that is fucked. the Us let their children and future down in the name of cost cutting and individual responsibility years and years ago.
This comes across as callous but it's not wrong.

More to the point, the sad state of affairs is that for many children, being in school is the only time they are well fed, have social interaction, or escape an abusive household. There is a real human cost to closing schools, just as there will be a real human cost if we open them. The question should be what are the relative costs.
Or we could try to be the country with better morals than China instead of posturing as one.
Sure, but that’s a terrible experience. Especially for a language marketing itself as simple. And just because you can “go-to-definition” to see where the dep is stored, it doesn’t answer questions like does every project dependency get stored there? What happens when another project somewhere locally has the same dep but a different version? Can you have deps locally stored in your project folder? All these can questions can be googled of course :)
Yes if you disable the internet it won't try to talk to the activity endpoint. You could probably trick windows into thinking the internet is always down. I don't know what else this might break, but the cleaner way is to do the registry changes.
But that hasn't been replicated in most Western nations. This went to court and you had a lot of scrutiny on this.

In PRC, because of cultural differences I think most people accept the crime safety net you get over personal freedom restrictions and you can't really meaningfully challenge any such move even if you wanted to. Anyway, it is the same in Singapore and people seem happy with it despite being exposed to all the Western culture too, so I think it is a cultural thing.

The thing that British were the first to roll out this but we haven't seen any advanced analysis stuff out in public after it kind of shows the apprehensiveness around it.
Masks are less important, if people socially distance and practice good hygiene.

If you don't give the virus a chance to spread, it cannot spread.

The problem is that in the US and elsewhere, people cannot seem to follow the social distancing and hygiene, so you need to find a way to physically distance people with masks and other protections.

To say that masks do not work, is untrue. There is a reason why doctors and others wear masks in their own professions.

By the way, when you say it is disappearing, that doesn't mean let the guard down. Look at what is happening in Vietnam. 100 days clean and they let their guard down and look at what is happening now.
And use what instead? I generally use linux on my desktop but have to reboot fairly often to do something windows-related. Libreoffice botches document formatting every time I use it on something above "hello, world." Lots of stuff still only works on windows, though wine compatibility is getting better.
I think we're talking past each other. I agree with what you're saying here. Maybe I didn't make it clear, but I agree that e.g., watching cable news and skimming headlines will not give one a particularly accurate or useful picture of the world, and may even harm one's mental health.

I'm saying there are better ways, and their value is not diminished by the firehose of low- or negative-value information most people consume.

>>In projects I've been involved with, storing JSON in the database has often turned out to be a mistake.

I mostly agree. The only JSON I store in the database is UI settings, because it's easy enough to parse it with JavaScript (and fall back in default if the JSON doesn't contain that prop). It also decouples your database schema from the UI, the latter of which can evolve much more rapidly.

For everything else, having a schema is better.

I am usually not worried about my personal privacy but the power that aggregated data gives to a company.

If they wanted, they could create or destroy businesses based on the data they have. Let's say they want to create a competitor to a small pop-corn stand. They could see the profiles of all people who go to that existing stand and make it look like something they wanted (eg. based on their YouTube history). They could check the paths they take daily, or the route they take to that stand and put their own in a better spot (eg. based on location history). They could only open the stand or promote it when people are really craving, for example after work or after a gym workout (eg. from the Fitbit data).

You get the point, the idea is that once you have all those insights into a mass of people, you can easily control them into buying your product or doing what you want them to do, while they think it's their idea to do that.

In general, people are very easy to influence. If I just mention the words "FIFA 20 on PS4", you are very likely to have all those thoughts about gaming and maybe actually want to start playing FIFA, even though before you had absolutely no intent to do so.

This looks like something that should be up to the user's browser rather than the website. If you built this into your website you'd probably need a setting to turn it on or off (because the font is kinda hard to read for non-dyslexic people) which would always degrade the experience for one group (based on the default setting) or even make them more identifiable (if stored in persistent storage).
I don't see how that would be a problem: even if it was common, handing out pill to one group but not the other would still lead to one group being more "dewormed" than the other, all others things being equal.

Anyway, in this case, I do not believe deworming was as common as you assume:

> Baseline parasitological surveys indicated that helminth infection rates were over 90%, and over a third had a moderate-heavy infection according to a modified WHO infection criteria (Miguel and Kremer 2004)

> Drug take-up rates were high, at approximately 75% in the treatment group, and under 5% in the control group (Miguel and Kremer 2004).

5% of the population taking the drug when >90% should means the drug is not "common".
Using war as a mindset is very apt: It means discipline, effort, thinking as a group, individual sacrifice. All positive and useful things when fighting a pandemic.

I don't see a problem with the term.

Edit: I'm puzzled by some of the replies and ideas on what being at war means.

It does mean solidarity, collaboration, cooperation, including extensive international collaboration. A prime example is WWII.

It think it is not unreasonable to call covid-19 an enemy that must be defeated if that focuses minds. It is in fact very common to use war-like analogies in campaigns against diseases. That includes smallpox and polio.
