It’s weird, but that’s been my experience too. I switched off Gmail (where I got tons of spam, although most properly caught by the spam filter) several years ago, and have received fewer than 200 spam emails in total since switching. I know this because my new host won’t allow the personalized spam filter to be enabled until you’ve received 200 spam.

I’m not at all careful to keep my email address hidden on the internet either.

It never occurred to me that it might be due to being on a custom domain. I figured either I was just lucky, or that there’s less spam these days.
I'll also add in terms of the concerns of cliches, I mean the ethics and ideas in Cyberpunk have 40 years of discussion and mainstreaming now which means many people will wear the ideas of cyberpunk as an aesthetic and really not intern or create works that embody the ideology. The thing is this happens with every set of ideas and I refer back to this post as a good exploration of why
"https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths"

Unfortunately this means that if you do have a more vested interest in works that respect and extend classical cyber punk thoughts you have to work a little harder to separate wheat from chaff.

A recent example of this is Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045 that revives characters and art from earlier more idealistic works that are much more in line with the ethos and work hard to make points about sociopolitical events and where they could lead us, but this iteration really falls short, in my opinion, of making any of it's own strong points. Instead they rely on the flashy tech, scenary and tropes we've come to be familiar with in Cyberpunk. Not to say they didn't try though but they couldn't carry it like previous writers in the series.

I'd say we'd need at least two years until that. The first to make a life table [0] and determine increased risk for each age in years. Then we could assume each person's added risk at successive ages is similar to people of that age this year.

The second (and further) years would support or disprove that assumption. My guess is disprove.

Great. Google should become liable for all the illegal content that slips through, all the way to the officers and directors of the company.

I think we as the society agree that child porn and child sexual abuse is a criminally punishable offense. A platform in a possession of it clearly is in a possession and distribution of child pornography, hence officers and directors should be charged under those statues.
These threads make it obvious that most people would be okay with malls being the only place where shopping is allowed to happen.

"Our local mall is great, I don't see a need for any other malls or standalone stores. Malls provide an air conditioned space, on-site site security, and even refreshments while you shop."

I think it stems from a lack of empathy for others. I don't buy dildos so I see no reason to allow dildo stores to exist.

I was at Boeing when that plant opened up. I recall it specifically being talked about in hushed tones as a place where there would be no unions, and thus they could hire cheaper labor.

Don't get me wrong, the Everett plant certainly has had issues in the past (there are plenty of signs hanging up about Foreign Object Debris), but the company seems to have targeted cost cutting as priority one.
I don't see your point. In C and C++, volatile is just a compiler hint to disable some classes of optimizations. It was never intended to be used to sync threads because it offers no such assurances.
No, the rational for banning the Cuties content is because they see it as normalizing pedophilia and child abuse imagery.
I'm not deeply versed in Gab's history... But lets hypothetically say that Gab was not created for that purpose, but for precisely the purpose it claims it was created for:

To be an open platform for free speech, no censorship.

Wouldn't it have ended up in the exact same state it is now? Any service that guarantees no censorship is going to have the majority of its userbase be the runoff from other major websites. When voat was created, I 100% believed that they were not attempting to create extremist havens, but their userbase was all the people expelled from reddit for targeted harassment campaigns.

I hate this dynamic. We need a way to break this cycle, because right now it's actively killing competitors to existing social networks.

>General Relativity derived elsewhere would have taken decades at least

Is this based on the quality of evidence you used when you claimed people over 40 don't do much science? That turned out to be wildly incorrect.

What do you base the "decades" claim on? There was no new math needing invented, no new empirical evidence needed, no new physics needed, and many people were close at the time, and certainly more and more physicists were heading down the same paths.

BTW, Einstein's most cited paper, by far, is from 1935, written when he was 56. I suspect that's some evidence he did good work after general relativity.
I like my Pinebook Pro, but it is slow compared to my T420, and maybe even slow compared to my X200.

The Thinkpads will also work out of the box with basically any kernel from the past 10 years, whereas the Pinebook requiers a patched kernel, patched u-boot, and a third patched component I didn't even know existed and don't remember the name of.

It's a pretty awesome device for $200 but it can't replace a real laptop IMHO, and hardware support is under active development.

I've seen people mocked for it before. I think the people doing the mocking were small-minded idiots who couldn't understand that a forum with one top-level poster is isomorphic to a blog with comments.

But I must admit, the initial impression of a 'forum' where all the topics are from one person looks a little bit like it might be a crazy person debating with themselves. (In this particular case, it looks like people other than Agner also create topics). Ideally you'd maybe re-skin the forum?
I do think it's likely that mostly younger people make up the majority of new cases, that's probably a large part of it.

We really need to stop comparing it to the flu. The way this novel coronavirus infects the body is different from influenza, and the symptoms of COVID-19 are different. We don't fully understand COVID-19 but those conclusions are very well supported by what we do know.

Sure, flu and COVID-19 can both have long-term effects on the body. But that's true of many disparate diseases. What matters for long-term care are the details that are specific to each disease.

At this point bringing up the flu in discussions of COVID-19 is basically a form of "what-aboutism".

Why New York Real Estate Prices Are Still Rising
Note: Parallelism comes in many forms on CPUs. Pipelines, superscalar, out-of-order, and speculative. Of these concepts, Tomasulo's algorithm covers Pipelines, Superscalar, and out-of-order. So its the "most complex example", but that should get you up to speed the quickest. (Branch prediction / speculative is its own thing, but I've always found the concept to be simple to grasp: you're executing instructions in parallel, so you need to guess the results of a branch before the branch is even calculated).

When it comes to actual execution of the final microop itself, its surprisingly simple. You put the bits in the right location, then a circuit magically calculates the result.

XOR and Add are simple enough (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry-save_adder). A multiplier is harder to think about, but yes, its just a bunch of wires hooked up to NAND gates: https://www.slideshare.net/suryakrishna3785/wallace-tree-mul...

Division and Modulo are traditionally executed with microops in a multi-step process. Addition becomes subtraction through the magic of 2s complement. AND, OR, XOR, are trivial logic gates. Memory lookup is complicated, but mostly due to caching. The core concept of memory lookup (put value onto address pins, wait for memory to respond with the stored value) is simple enough.

Memory is traditionally on a "bus". The idea of a "bus" (multiple different CPU components talking on the same set of wires) is hard to grasp. But when you learn about tri-state logic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-state_logic), the 5V state, 0V state, and "High Impedance" state, it becomes simple.

"High Impedance" means that someone connected to the wires simply won't read, or write, on those wires. The CURRENT (amps) going in, or out, is set to zero through the magic of transistors. If you have 5 different components (C0, C1, C2, C3, and C4) on a set of wires, if C1/C2/C3 are in "High Impedance", then C0 and C4 can talk without any issues (because C1 through C3 won't use up any electricity from the wires).

The key is coordinating who can talk and at what times. But that's where "link level protocols" start to come in. Tri-state logic (in particular: high impedance) is what makes it possible.

And there ya go. A fully working CPU. That's all it is.

Here's my modest plea to authors of extensions like this: please consider creating a "standalone" version, too. The AST viewer in the GIF is a good example of a tool that doesn't need the whole VSCode framework around it; it can be implemented in a single "ASTViewer.html" that can be double clicked or dragged and dropped into the user's browser, which is probably already open.

EDIT: I see comments from the author below, where there's some version of this tool online, but it goes for other authors, too, and the ability to run it from a truly standalone, single-file viewer.

My point is that it's irrelevant at this point, as those machines do not yet exist. The existing experimental setups and theoretical models are most closely related to boolean circuits (vs a Turning machine or a RAM machine or lambda calculus or whatever is your favourite computation model). But you can still show gains on some sets of problems (like integer factorisation).

> purchase new equipment

I'm not talking about shitty old laptops. I'm talking about shitty new laptops. There are laptops you can go into an electronics store and buy right now that have 1366x768 displays. And that's ridiculous.

Yes, these laptops are cheaper. But putting a 1080p panel in these laptops wouldn't be that much more expensive. Maybe an extra $0.50 on BOM, compared to the current design. Or, in fact, it might have exactly the same upstream cost. Why, then, use the shittier panel?

The 1366x768 display is purely there for market segmentation. It's an artificial constraint hardware makers impose on their low-spec devices, in order to make them unattractive to people with higher budgets.

A lot of these low-spec devices would be just fine for the small amounts of work many people have to do on computers, and so these people would buy them if they only needed "a little bit of" computer, even if they could afford something more expensive. (Just like you buy a $50 blender, not a $500 blender, if you're only making piña coladas.)

But the people who would consider these low-spec devices (despite having the budget for higher-spec devices as well), are pushed away from the low end, by these artificially-imposed pain points.

And that means that the people who do only have the budget for a low-spec laptop, are getting an artificially-imposed screwing, getting a shittier laptop than their money would buy them in an efficient market, purely because the supplier went to extra design effort to make their low-end products actively repel middle-end customers.

And taken in that lens, the fact that modern OSes don't work well on 1366x768 displays is actually kind of the point. It's not something the OS manufacturer can fix on their end. Because this would be a vicious cycle: if the OS began to work just fine on a 1366x768 display, then the laptop mfgrs would design their next series of low-end laptops to have even smaller displays, in order to re-introduce the market-segmenting "cramped feeling."

Why? The existing planes that were assembled in Everett were still assembled in Everett, whether or not they close the plant. You either want to only fly stuff built before the SC plant opened, or you want to fly individual planes that were built in Everett. Whether the plant stays open has nothing to do with it.

as someone who fits the risk-group and wasn't able to attend funerals of a close childhood friend, ...

I'm equally worried about the long term mental health issues people will suffer due to loss of jobs, and the domino effects that come from it (divorce, default on their debts, etc). Suicide rates will go through the roof. I think the secondary effects will in size be a lot larger than the reported number of people who have died + those who suffer from long term health-damage. Then there are those who missed cancer treatments, or who don't want to risk going in for chemo because they're equally worried about infecting themselves by leaving the house.

BTW, is there still no online map that would use some better projection (i.e. anything but [Web-]Mercator)? I mean, there is Google Earth, of course, but it has too much visual effects added, to use it as a go-to tool, as I use OSM or Google Maps. But mercator makes large scale distance and area comparison absolutely unintelligible, and I would rather much prefer to be able to use Kavrayskiy VII/Natural Earth or something like that with OSM. No way it could be too computationally expensive in 2020, right? (I mean, once again, we do have Google Earth.)
State of RI has an oddly worded question near Section G:

It's pretty easy to just blindly check off yes and then sign it. It's my understanding that answering yes to that question permits them to sell license information.

His point is that, with some exceptions (Ghost in the Shell), much of the modern work you cite is a regurgitation of the earliest ideas of the genre which have themselves hardened into tropes.

Gibson found the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer exceedingly retro and 80s because its imagined future repeats anxieties and themes which were most relevant in the 1980s, when the genre first appeared.

The return to these “ancient futures” isn’t really punk, it’s kitsch. But to do the thing those early authors did would be to continually approach the present with the same mindset for interrogating it and see what appears.
Here in the UK, we've seen a huge surge in people - especially younger people - getting licensed since lockdown, in large part because it's now possible to take your license exams online.
