> By that argument, all Apple is saying “we don’t have to sell products that would violate this clause.” And that’s what people appear to be up in arms about.

In Apple, it's different. Customers can't buy the apps from a third party app store. Customers can't buy the apps directly from the app's producer.
I wonder if I'm just not phrasing my Google queries properly, because I feel like something like this should have existed for a while, but I can't find anything, for some reason.
I would call Leaf's cooling system as "body contact passive cooling". Calling it as "air cooling" is harmful. Proper air cooling with A/C should be significantly better for health.

>How are people supposed to learn (from mistakes) if they don't roll their own crypto?

The right answer to this question, and not just on cryptography is: Stop it. There are billions of humans. They're already making plenty of mistakes, learn from those. Don't just make more and imagine that helps somehow.

If you feel the need to "learn from mistakes" you can find a healthy supply of detailed reports about mistakes other people already made and learn from them.

Most often what people actually mean is "I'm pretty sure I am uniquely brilliant and won't make mistakes" and I think the healthiest response is probably to laugh until you cry.
I think it’s hard to save a percentage of your income when your income is low.

If I’d been saving 10% of my income until 4 years ago (some 16 years of work), I would have more than tripled the savings in the last 4 years. Instead, I saved a higher percentage for only the last 4 years, and have a substantially higher amount.
The Psyco project (now dead) used to get very reasonable speedups (factors of several) in pure Python code, particularly for numeric algorithms. It was retired because PyPy was being developed and was expected to solve all speed problems. I wonder why this approach worked while other python JITs did not.

Its helpful to get kind of organic opinions on things. See what people are saying if your shopping for something new. Its comes up in google searches a lot. At least there's no seo gaming on a reddit link.

Ive had some ok experiences on reddit too, meet ups, bought stuff, got free concert tickets once too. its hard to write the whole thing off. That might be a different era of reddit though. Its been a few years since I had something like that happen now that i think about it
The range of possible accomplishments is too broad, each requiring a lifetime of focus, and thus cause people to hop from accomplishment to accomplishment.

Despite what tv news media likes to portray, climate change does poll favorably.

From this poll https://www.newsmax.com/us/us/2020/05/19/id/968005/:

73% of Americans polled say climate change is happening.
54% of Americans asked say they are extremely or very certain climate change is happening.
62% of Americans say they agree with the scientific view that global warming is mostly caused by human activity.
6% of Americans surveyed say there were extremely or very sure global warming wasn’t happening.

What you see today is the encouragement of the worst instincts of people's nature by someone with real power and influence. When the President of the US says that masks are fake or a hoax, then a certain segment of the population will believe it.

Which is why, if the current POTUS is re-elected and continues to throw the Country and the Federal Government into chaos, I have little hope that it will be addressed.
How is this different from any other store that offers access to a wide audience? Connecting devs to hundreds of millions of people, taking care of warehousing, logistics and sale/payments handling? Do those retailers tell you who gets what further down the supply chain? No. You see the price of the product and nothing even remotely reminds you of how much the retailer payed the manufacturer, and how much the manufacturer payed their designer.

Imagine you make a toaster. You want that toaster on the shelves at a retailer. How much do you think the retailer gets? And the transporting company? I think 30% is low in comparison. But but but this is digital. Yeah, so where do you you have access to Apple’s client base? How much do you pay for the running and maintaining of the App Store infrastructure?

How many apps do you think are hosted that don’t make any money? For neither dev nor Apple? All those are costs. For Apple. Admitted they make a lot of money, but they do so because they’re successful. If you want to be successful on their platform, you play by their rules. And those are clear: you pay 30%.
Well, so much the worse then. This stuff is happening right in front of us and we’re still doing ~nothing about it.
> There's who you are

Why would you lose who you are if you merely lost on a big bet (say, as an entrepreneur?)

> there's relationships with family & friends

I think you may be reading too much - you imply that a big bet will always mean sacrificing your friends and family, but i do not believe that to be the case, and in fact, friends and family are what helps you succeed, and including them in your bet is more likely to help.

> there's time, there's opportunities

you are _always_ using up your time, regardless of whether you're using it in a big bet, or merely lazying around. As for opportunities - yes you lose in opportunity cost, but you cannot for sure say anything about what is lost, other than a sure-fire, 100% successful opportunity that you declined. If there's two startups, and you chose one, the other is _not_ the opportunity cost (because both has the same opportunity cost - that of a stable wage job working for a stable, zero risk company).
It's definitely a great development, but I don't understand the "trillion dollar" comment at the beginning. Near as I can tell, inductors are about a $4-5 billion dollar market [0]

I know it will help miniaturization, but it seems like devices most desirable for miniaturization are already most limited by other conditions like the battery in smart phones and laptops. Larger inductors seem to appear mostly in things like power supplies-- sure we'd like smaller power bricks, but I don't understand how it translates to trillions of dollars.

It was summer of 2014, so I'm not some old graybeard if that's what you're thinking.

Yeah, it was incredible - very stressful, but I learned an enormous amount in just a few months. And I was surrounded by a ton of extremely smart, motivated (though sometimes rather dysfunctional) people. I just wish I had the knowledge then that I have now. In retrospect, the project I worked on really touched on almost every single aspect of mechanical engineering, and it was really what steered me in that direction. I wish I could talk more about it. It's not classified or anything, but it's very specific, and I'd rather not dox myself by accident.
It's either tariffs or outright bans on importation into the US, I can't remember now.
> The problem is Apple's heavy hand saying what a user can see, what they can install, and what the developer can say to their users.

I remember Steve Jobs saying (about not allowing adult-themed apps) that iOS was "freedom from porn!"[1], which to me sounded more like "freedom from choice!"

While I agree with that, I also think there’s a substantial amount of old idiots out there (same as for the younger generation), and I have little issue saying or hearing ‘ok boomer’ instead of ‘ok idiot’, if the topic is relevant enough.

Will More Data Make Us Healthier?
Those do not work for everyone. I bought some glasses from this company for my father, both he and a colorblind colleague could not see any improvement apart from a slight contrast increase after a few hours of wearing them. One of them was slightly red-green colorblind, the other one had a much stronger red-green color blindness.
The company seem to exaggerate a lot the effect of their lenses with carefully selected overenthusiastic testimonies.
The good thing is that the glasses could be returned and refunded.

Did you mean [x,y,z,w]*M?

For textbox use, my workaround is to write [x,y,z,w]^T when I want to be clear that I really mean a column vector.

Incidentally, your comment inspired me to go spelunking through some old tech memos (Standard disclaimer: RenderMan dev, opinions my own, this is my speculation, yada yada). As best as I can tell, the row vector convention in RenderMan must have came from Newman and Sproull's "Principles of Interactive Computer Graphics" [1] by way of Alvy Ray Smith who referred to the convention as "computer graphics normal form" [2]. Interestingly, that book seems to have been inspired in turn by course material from Ivan Sutherland [3], who had previously built a head-mounted display using custom hardware with a row vector times matrix multiplier unit, among other things [4].

Dude congrats! This is an amazing game, I just spent an hour and a half upgrading to Keep.

I love how even a simple game like this can show the messiness of urban planning. I'm trying to keep people happy and fed and educated, so sometimes that means demolishing a house or two to build a school.

Really fun.
Tomita isn't mentioned :( . A good GLR approach...
Have they solved the problem where wild species would contaminate and outcompete your GMO algae?

There were a lot of lab experiments going at the time of the commodity price spike (2005-2008), but I've heard nothing since. There always was this scepticism about captial cost, extraction cost, and contamination costs.

Edit: missed a word.

Basically nothing. It seems like a lot of methane, but on a global scale it's a drop in the bucket.

However, it's a sign of melting permafrost on a wide scale that is releasing methane, and that does have an impact which will get more pronounced.

Because methane is more potent a greenhouse gas than CO2, there's a risk of a runaway feedback cycle melting more permafrost and releasing more greenhouse gases. And that's not thinking about the colossal amounts of frozen methane on the sea floor which is quite sensitive to temperature changes. We're playing with fire here, sorta literally.
We need political will and regulation. A carbon tax will dissuade emitting carbon and steer investment into low carbon technology. Unfortunately, given our short-term political landscape, this looks highly unlikely to happen.

Nuclear: yes, it’s a huge shame that nuclear is in decline. Not sure how much is due to environmentalists over people being generally scared of the technology. The Fukushima disaster didn’t help its popularity.
Do you have pointers on those? I'd be interested in the rope optimizations, etc.

One of the mods that can be done is adding 1440p 14" ips display, like the LP140QH1-SPB1 from the carbon x1 gen 2. It's not as good as a new macbook pro display, but it's very nice to use.

Small typo in your pdf:

C is frequently 100x faster than Python for code like the example I showed. With autovectorization and other optimizations it can be 500x.

So if a Python JIT does 10-50x better than CPython on a numeric workload, that sounds impressive, but it's still slow compared to C.

And again they don't get 10-50x on string/hash/method call workloads. I think they're lucky to get 2x in some of those cases.
They attribute it to malice, not ignorance.

The people I see speaking about this believe either there is no virus, or it’s overblown- and most or all of the deaths are either misattributed car accidents and natural cause deaths, or made up from whole cloth. Doctors and hospitals are supposedly being compensated to falsely report deaths as having been caused by COVID.

Obviously there are not large numbers of misattributed deaths or hospital conspiracies. This mirrors the theory held by basically the same people that climate change is just something used to push a political agenda and that scientists fake the data for grant money.
> But cars are fairly noisy as well -- in cities the roads are often very close to apartment buildings.

And that’s an actual issue that should be addressed (electric cars are awesome on this point, you also have different road material that can absorb more sound).

Adding more noisy vehicles is making the situation worse.
Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Facebook all have significant Seattle-area presence; it's still expensive, but noticeably less so than Silly Valley, and you can live close to work yet have a Walk Score in the double digits. (And in fact a good score.) MS has a non-negligible number of jobs in lower-cost areas of the US (e.g. Fargo, Las Colinas, Atlanta); Apple is expanding in Austin; both Apple and Google have an increasing number of offices in lower-cost cities.

It is never a good idea under any circumstances to believe someone when they tell you it's ok to violate the terms of a contract they are requiring you to sign.

They could modify the EULA without enabling commercial sale of hackintoshes. They just won't. It's actually better for them when you are in breach of contract, because then they can use selective enforcement to create any unwritten rule they like.
Yes but the book isn't free. IPC-A-610 is a good place to start. I just briefly browsed the page but it seems to be very close to IPC standards with the J-Standard addition (which is mission critical/Space typically)

Cryptography is a little bit like making fireworks.

For most people, and you are most people, you're better off to just buy fireworks made in a factory.

Follow the instructions, light them, they go bangity-boom-sparkle-puff, and everybody gets to finish up the evening with the same number of limbs and eyeballs as they started with.

Make your own, and you had better know what you are doing. Even if you do, Bad Shit is high on the list of possible outcomes.

Gunpowder may be a "low" explosive, but that doesn't mean it likes you.

Build up too much static and get a spark? Look around your workshop, and imagine your tools and furniture suddenly coming at you much faster than would be considered polite for inanimate objects.

Screw up the measurements? Get the fusing wrong? Now not just you, but also your guests, can experience the fun and excitement of being mortared.

Or you can be sane, and just buy some fireworks from one of those plywood booths that pop up every June.

tl; dr Don't roll your own crypto.
An incident at or near hover is close to the ground, and so has much better chances of survival.

The issue with multiple rotors is that if one rotor fails the craft immediately pitches over and crashes. The Chinook solves this because the two rotors have a linked shaft. Definitely a quadrocopter becomes unstable with only 3/4 rotors. Maybe the octocopter posted elsewhere in this thread can sustain one failure and still land.

Ok, I'm going to throw out an oversimplification here, but I think it's representative of a common college-educated American's image of Iran vs. KSA.

Iran is a large, middle-income country full of lots of regular folks who wrestle with weird internal politics much like we do. Sure, they're a theocracy, but we also overthrew the only democratically elected leader they've ever had. I think Iranians are pretty easy to relate to. The US is full of Irainians who moved here because they weren't willing to buy into the theocracy.

KSA is a tiny, yet massively wealthy country full of spoiled princes drag-racing Ferraris and employing de-facto slaves who is currently committing war crimes in Yemen with weapons we sold them. A lot less sympathetic, and I'm not familiar with a large Saudi expat population that fled because of disagreement with the politics of the ruling monarchs.
> How many Monad explanations need to be written before we admit that the Monad is an unsatisfactory abstraction for practical purposes?

That's really not true, is it? I mean, you only need to look at how monads are used to express results as return types to understand the practical usefulness of monads.

The military and other rescue service have been evacuating casualties since the 1950s on helicopters. What advantage does this provide over a helicopter? These electric craft have tiny lifting capacity, only 1 or 2 people, as well as much shorter ranges.
Explosives could easily cut right through it. You can cut cleanly through reinforced concrete bridge pillars with just high yield detonation cord or c4 collar charges.

The world of infrastructure security is quite terrifying once you start digging into it. I believe at some point in the 1970s, the CIA started doing red team operations on domestic terrorism infrastructure vulnerabilities. They eventually stopped or slowed significantly because they had so many simulated breaches that they couldn't possibly contain them all. They had to significantly refocus their attention on prevention by identifying who/what/where/why instead of how (their traditional cold war methodology that many thought was outdated), because there were practically infinite ways identified that infrastructure could be crippled.
How to Optimize Your E-Commerce Pages and Improve UX?
Most of the time you learn the IPC-A-610 stuff first...then J-standard is an addition.

One thing to remember though is often Mil spec or custom builds actually require better quality than IPC or J-std gives. IPC/J-std are "Minimum acceptability requirements"...meaning "How bad can it be before I am required to fix/scrap the part?"
Every time you rework a board you damage it (they are actually being damaged every time they are heated) so you only want to rework if absolutely required.
That's a little different, because those websites are network services that are essentially black boxes to you. With cryptography, you can not only have two local programs, but you can have the source code for two programs and compile them yourself [1] but still have no clue if one is horribly flawed or not. At least without hiring seasoned cryptography experts to perform a rigorous analysis; and even then, who knows.

The same could be said when using a native application with an undiscovered use-after-free vulnerability or something, but in that case there are some theoretical inputs that'll cause the program to behave in a way you don't expect, like crashing or corrupting data, whereas with flawed cryptography the flaw may never give the slightest hint of its presence no matter how much or what kind of input you throw at it.

I think graphene gets a bad rap because it's had a very slow ramp up time due to chicken/egg problems in production cost/demand curves, but that's been changing drastically over the last decade. It's come down in cost by multiple orders of magnitude [0] While total sales have been modestly increasing, with projections for massive growth [1] and if there's a steady market cap while marginal costs decrease that much, also means orders of magnitude increases in shipped product.

It's had a lot of growing pains, but we seem to mostly have passed the inflection point in terms of market viability.
