The article mentions that the sun produces 10^25 neutrinos every second. This felt quite off.

I found an Ohio State PDF that mentioned 2 * 10^38 neutrinos per second. Elsewhere I saw mentioned 7 * 10^10 particles going through your thumb every second (1 cm^2). Times that by cm^2 surface area of sphere that is radius of distance between sun and earth (3 * 10^27), and the 10^38 looks like the correct one.

Interestingly, I also saw mentioned a nuclear reactor makes 10^20 neutrinos per second.

EDIT: Not sure why the downvote. Because I didn't link sources?

Here's the powerpoint presentation: http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~hughes/freshman_seminar/p...

Here is Fermi lab saying number per second in thumbnail: https://neutrinos.fnal.gov/sources/solar-neutrinos/

Here's someone's homework that gives the calculation total neutrinos per second based on number of He fusion reactions, which also matches 10^38. http://www.as.utexas.edu/astronomy/education/fall08/lacy/sec...

Sorry... not many great sources here but everything points to the 10^38 number. The 10^25 stated in the article may be mistakenly using the very similar number for joules of energy created each second by the sun (10^25).
The word "intolerant" has an implied "of [x]" — when progressives use the term the implied bit is usually "of minorities," or "of trans people," "of women in tech" or something like that. When I call Trump "intolerant," that's generally what I mean, for example.

But of course one can try to be very tolerant about those things and still be "intolerant." I'm intolerant of poison. Just don't like it! I'm intolerant of manipulative assholes. I'm intolerant of people who greedily ignore the health and safety of those around them. Etc.

Some people are very invested in everyone forgetting the "of [x]" bit that comes after "intolerant" because it allows them to make the argument that society has to accept them no matter how horribly they behave. It does not.

X tweeting about Y without naming them is doing so because they wish to avoid a fight. Doubly so when Y has a known angry set of followers. One may even have the other blocked. By snitch tagging you're trying to start a fight between X and Y and potentially Y's followers. Snitch-tagging is for people who want X to be sent death threats but aren't willing to put their own name on them.

Subtweeting is usually just venting about someone or something. And by its nature it's ambiguous.

Classic Sites has been around for a very long time (since 2008), and we've been working to make new Sites a better, more modern, more maintainable place to create and host websites. The vast majority of users are choosing to create their sites with new Sites, and the vast majority of current classic sites receive no edits and no traffic.

We first announced this gradual plan in 2017, with an update in 2019, and now we're providing the detailed plan. The goal was to provide adequate notice for people to figure out whether migration, export, or deletion of their classic sites makes the most sense.

EDIT: to the multiple people that are highlighting that 12 years is not a long time, I should clarify. I agree that 12 years in Internet time is not a long time, but it is a very long time in "how websites work" time.

One of the big challenges in the website builder space, something that Google. Wix, Squarespace, have all dealt with - is that when a user publishes a website, there's an expectation around the fidelity and look-and-feel of that website. The data model and architecture for how you represent a rendered page, how you render embedded content, all are very dependent on how browsers work at that time, and the maintenance of those things can become very challenging.

There was a big shift about ~7 years ago, moving away from a "pixel perfect" layout/raw html approach (Wix, Old wordpress, SQSP 5, Classic Sites), to one where there's some sort of grid-and-box approach where the render is responsive, there's reflow, there's padding and spacing and styling relative to the browser experience. It separates out content from layout to a certain degree in a way that is much more future-proofed and modern. This is how Wix ADI, Squarespace 6+, Wordpress Gutenberg, and new Sites work.

For all of those transitions, there was a platform shift, that required a complete rework of how the system works. My point about "12 years" was that the model of how classic Sites works is 12 years old, and new Sites was intended to match the modern way of how websites are built and delivered.
Just to follow up on that: I'm sure we agree that Starbucks metagame is about selling more than just beverages. It's about selling a middle-class aspiration -- using concepts like a "third place", "Italy", etc. This is why Starbucks is a $24b revenue company and Dunkin is a $1.4b revenue company.

Luigi Zingales, an economist at UChicago, once said, "the fact that Starbucks is not Italian is hurtful. The extreme agency problems of Italy make it difficult to scale firms.".
They're predictable, but you do have to know the rules.

I'm probably a bit North of you (Southern Canada) and this is the first year I've seen lots of fireflies at night. So there's a good chance it's more a case of migratory patterns changing than a mass die-off. Don't mean to make light of the matter, but it might not be as grim as it appears right now either.

Jeff Dean's Approach to Email
Why "the entire western world"? As an European, why should we align with the US in this?

The EU doesn't have any tech giant because, contrary to China, we have received US tech giants with open arms. So our economies bleed money and lose jobs to the likes of Amazon, because hey, "the free market". What do we stand to gain by siding with US companies in this US companies vs. China companies wars?

Perhaps it would be better for us to just imitate China, start being protectionistic and banning foreign tech companies so we can grow our own and prosper. It works. In the US you're pretty much telling us that it works - so well that you are doing the same.

Now that the US has shown it can ban foreign tech companies if it's in their own interest, and all the moralizing talk about the free market has been exposed as the self-serving propaganda it has always been, what reason do be exactly have to keep playing this game where we are the biggest losers?

Huawei can still buy SoC with US technology in it if it's designed and manufactured by others.

US restrictions are all about Huawei’s ability to use U.S. technology and software to design and manufacture semiconductors abroad. BIS made targeted rule "to impose a new control over certain foreign-produced items, when there is knowledge that such items are destined to a designated entity on the Entity List."

> (i) Items, such as semiconductor designs, when produced by Huawei and its affiliates on the Entity List (e.g., HiSilicon), that are the direct product of certain U.S. Commerce Control List (CCL) software and technology; and

> (ii) Items, such as chipsets, when produced from the design specifications of Huawei or an affiliate on the Entity List (e.g., HiSilicon), that are the direct product of certain CCL semiconductor manufacturing equipment located outside the United States. Such foreign-produced items will only require a license when there is knowledge that they are destined for reexport, export from abroad, or transfer (in-country) to Huawei or any of its affiliates on the Entity List.

The West isn't vague. It is only semi-vague because, due to globalization, most cultures around the world have adopted Western norms of consumption, including China.

Politically the West is Five Eyes with support of NATO. If push came to shove these would be the nations called upon to support a global conflict with China.

Furthermore the hegemonic rule of the United States is a direct substitute to that of China. For every nation that China wants to exclude, overwhelm or subvert in its economic plans, the US will have an enemy or potential enemy of an enemy to ally with. Conversely if the US is separating economic ties with certain countries but building ties with others, it's this coalition that will operate against China as we move to our multi-polar world.

There is a legacy of intellectual culture between Russia, the Mediterranean, and some of the Middle East with Western Europe – mainly due to Aristotle and his influence on the intellectual practice of all of the Abrahamic religions – but a lot of that complexity is screened off by the real military commitments extant between the nations in these geographic regions. Post WWII history is what scoped out the structure of the modern world, so post WWII history is what makes sense to use in our analysis of what the West will be in practice.

As a proxy, English and the Romantic Languages as primary languages within a nation could be a decent heuristic of the what the West is culturally.

As for the rest of your comment and being "done", that's fine. There's zero chance that I'm going to waste my time on a point-by-point rebuttal for anyone who's acting in this much bad faith, ignoring the points I've already made, and trying to pawn off the flaws in your arguments as mine.
I've been using Macs for years, and I agree. It is infuriating that I can tab away from an application, and then be unable to tab immediately back to it. I'm at a loss why this is missing. It is the workflow between apps when they are not maximized or minimized. I fail to see any utility in breaking that flow for minimized and maximized windows.

I am unaware of any key combination that can restore a minimized window, or restore focus to a full screen window. Surly they exist though, so if anyone here knows what they are please do tell.
You seem to know a lot about this stuff. I have a question for you.

If fusion creates the potential for fission (radioactive waste) and radioactive waste can be used to build atomic bombs, how have we not figured out how to make mini perpetual-energy reactors?
Forget economics or national security in the traditional sense of data privacy or anything like that.

We can not have a major social network that is algorithmically driven controlled by a hostile foreign power. Full stop. Imagine if this were 40 years ago and tiktok was owned by the Soviets. Completely absurd.
Tolerance is not a good thing. If you see something which you think isn’t right you should speak up and not just tolerate it. It’s weird that tolerance is connected with the peaceful coexistence of two groups of people. As if this was the only way. People coexist peacefully because it’s the reasonable thing to do, not because they exercise tolerance.

>The argument that if the Chinese market was fully open then their local companies would have been more quickly devoured by single, US based corporations doesn't do much to convince me that what the Chinese government is doing is wrong.

If these companies were competing, and winning, on features and innovation, there would be no concern that the company originated from China. The point of that anecdote is that these companies have crap products that are only competitive because there is no competition.

>And don't fool yourself, this had nothing to do with what's 'fair' for America or Americans

I hope this is the beginning of a broader policy on moving US business, interests, and manufacturing out of China. Play fair or don't play at all.

It is perfectly fine for China to protect their own market. But it is not fine for China to protect their own market and also expect open access to other markets.

Truly.

The fact that menus use all these crazy arcane symbols for keys like Esc, Del, Tab, and so on, but they're not on the keyboard itself, has always baffled me.

Cmd, Opt, and Ctrl all have symbols on the keyboard. For the rest of the keys, why don't menus just literally spell out "Esc", "Tab", "Del"?
> without protecting them from multi-nationals

That's sort of a strawman though.

There's a spectrum of "protection". What China does (and the Trump administration proposes, sorta, with its application-level bans) isn't to merely "protect" it's local companies, it's to entirely ban content from global competitors.

The problem isn't that Baidu search was "protected" while developing, it's that a Chinese citizen cannot do a search on Google at all. Or follow someone on Twitter. Or join a Facebook group. Anything you might show to the "public" on any of these sites is invisible in China.

That is the problem. Not "protection" per se.
unless, of course, by 'execution' were meant actual executions (of people) - that's what totalitarian systems excel at, indeed.
This doesn't seem sustainable either though. Isn't server-side code required to ensure the data you're getting from the client is legit. You can't do everything client side especially because not everything can be done in javascript.
What does ByteDance has to do with the persecution of Uighurs more than what Amazon/Google/Microsoft has to do with the killing in Iraq/Iran/Middle East incurred by the US? I don't have evidence for the latter but it seems like neither do you for the former?

The founder of ByteDance has on multiple accounts critised the Chinese government: this is not an easy thing to do in China but blaming Chinese government's behaviors on a privately owned tech startup is a bit over the top.
Correct. But the Google tech stack evolves, and so the codebase may now be based on obsolete internal technologies.

Using most of these on a daily basis. It's great that Apple paid attention to this type of requirement from power users. One shortcut I didn't know about though: option-command-eject (my bluetooth Apple keyboard does have an eject button on it) allows me to put the Mac to sleep within 0.1 seconds. When logging off in the evenings I've always used the menu bar's  -> Sleep, and then carefully not moving the mouse afterwards so that I inadvertently wake it up again.

Absolutely Not. Eating is much more sophisticated than decomposition.

There is a microbial part...

but also a mechanical pre-processing with teeth, cartilaginous spikes, muscles or even rocks,

And cells evolved to produce strong acids (that could dissolve this same cells)

And a complex enzymatic system in controlled environment and temperatures. Necessary to allow its correct function.

And a net of sensors of satiety to avoid the stomach bursting, a gage reflex, a capture reflex, development of complex eyes and noses to hunt and identify food or poison, nerves...

A complex absortion of nutrients and water,

And compaction, dehydrating, filtration, classification, and release of useless stuff.

Is much, much, more than just tiny organisms breaking things.
They are doing similar things in specific cases on national security grounds but it's not the broad policy that China has.
Tolerable in public forums according to whom? You? Why should your level speech tolerance get enshrined in FB content policy? The process of lawmaking is how we come to an agreement on the bounds of acceptability. Don't like those bounds? Change the law. Don't use social network insiders to do it for you.
Setting up shop in the US or Europe implies having agents in US or Europe, and those people could be spied on by the US/Europe, or coerced or just shut down. It's a more all-in strategy.

The trick is to stop using full-screen maximized windows. If you hold down Option when clicking the green maximize button you can make windows maximized the old-fashioned way, where cmd-tab behavior makes sense. You can also bind global keyboard shortcuts to this action. I use cmd-shift-up. I also bind cmd-shift-left and cmd-shift-right to fill the left/right 50% of the screen.

Beyond cmd-tab working sensibly, you also get the advantage of not having annoying sliding animations when switching maximized windows. You can mitigate the animation somewhat for full-screen windows in accessibility options (it’s an effect of a “Reduce animations” checkbox or something like that) but it only turns it from sliding to a faster fade — there’s no way to make it instantaneous like non-full-screen window switching is.
Sometimes people coexist peacefully despite thinking the other person is wrong. Sometimes speaking up about things you think are wrong precludes peaceful coexistence, and in those cases, peaceful coexistence is indeed the exercise of tolerance.

Both my Subaru and Honda have this along with a setting to choose comfortable following distance. I have set it to not follow too closely (and yes, I do get annoyed at people who use that gap to squeeze in my lane). OTOH, I get scared when there is a sharp curve and the car tries to accelerate through it because the car in front is not visible anymore.

> Simple example: open the About this Mac window. Now switch away from it with the keyboard. I challenge you to switch back to that window with just the keyboard

Three-finger-up + click is way smoother than doing a random walk through your open windows.

It also lends discoverability to multiple desktops at exactly the moment where you might be thinking to yourself "hmm, I could use multiple desktops right about now."

> With better operating systems, I can put focus on and work with any aspect of the GUI.

I'm glad you feel that way because when I use Windows I quickly get frustrated by apps stealing the focus and authorization windows opening underneath everything else.

> They don’t even have an easily discoverable process for hunting through app menus with just the keyboard.

lolwut? Cmd+? opens a box to incrementally search all menus, Ctrl+P and Ctrl+N let you navigate the results, and return runs the menu item. Arrow keys let you walk the focus if you don't know emacs shortcuts, and they do so in every menu. It's head and shoulders above Windows.
Correct, Mac's are brilliant for writing in multiple languages for that reason. Whether I quickly need an ø or ü or é or û, it's so quick to type these that I cannot imagine it's even worth having a non-US layout keyboard regardless what language you primarily type in.
Generally speaking groups of people that disagree so fundamentally on things should have borders between them. Within the borders there are degrees of tolerance.

Tolerance can be good and it can be bad. Tolerance is not inherently good and its not inherently bad.

China doesn’t have rule of law. They have rule by law, but that’s quite different: as long as google or Facebook can’t impress the official class, the officials will find a law to keep them out. They can’t actually go to court and dispute the decision (which doesn’t officially exist anyways), and I’m sure Tiktok and Tencent are going to court over this (and they even have a good chance of even winning).

Let’s put it this way: the Chinese Constitution makes strong guarantees about freedom of speech and press. But it doesn’t matter since there is no court to enforce any of that, China lacks any checks and balances and officials mostly rule by fiat and hierarchy.
