Windows runs on millions of devices. An absolutely core pillar of Windows is COM and the most recent versions have only added to that foundation with WinRT.

If anything is pure OOP it's COM. And although it has a deserved reputation for being hard to start working with, and documentation these days is sparse; it's going full-steam ahead when you boot a Windows box.
First off, who would offer insurance to individual police other than the police union?

And the police union has a bunch of influence over the other cops who might cause everyone's premiums to go up if they tell the truth?

I dunno, I think it's a good try but a more direct approach is warranted. Fire people with a history of complaints. Promote people who don't tolerate bad behavior. Vote for people who will do that, and if that means reconstituting the police force from scratch like in Camden so be it.

> First off, the 86T figure is the yearly GDP of the world whereas the 2T figure for Apple is the value they are worth to shareholders in perpetuity. Not directly comparable.

This is a good point, the market price for the shares corresponds to cumulative flows of expected net profits accrued over many future years. To add more detail, when I do a crude discounted cash flow valuation of AAPL assuming very optimistic revenue growth (+15%) in the short term that decays to 2% growth after 5 years or so, & using a discount rate of 6%, that backs out a value per share estimate of around $134 , with the majority of that valuation -- $76 out of $134 -- being contributed from net profits that occur after a 15 year time horizon. The current market price for each share incorporates the assumption that AAPL will continue to be a profitable business for decades, maintaining comparable profit margins, with at least some degree of revenue growth that outperforms economic growth in the short run.

If we assume AAPL is afflicted by some weird calamity that causes it to have exactly 0 net profit over the next 12 months but then otherwise bounce back to its usual profitability, that should only reduce the valuation of each share by about $4 -- a 3% drop in share price .

Similar kinds of reasoning can be used to estimate how much the valuation of shares should drop due to COVID-induced short term loss in revenue & profitability -- e.g. it might roughly be something like a single-digit percentage drop in value -- say 6% ish -- (industry and company specific, some sectors such as hospitality and travel suffer more impact, and companies with heavy financial or operational leverage may have much higher short term losses in response to the same drop in revenue, perhaps going bankrupt). Compare to the 33% drop in market prices in march earlier this year.

My discounted cash flow valuation for AAPL assuming a pessimistic revenue growth scenario is around $70 / share -- so I value each AAPL share somewhere in the range of $70 -- $134 & won't be buying any while the market price sits at the high end of that range.
That's a great example.

Most great art takes from the past, I don't see any reason why music shouldn't take inspiration from styles or instruments from the medieval periods (or any other!)
You can't really separate a taxonomy of a system from your desire to make statements about specific things. So your ability to use OOP effectively depends on your ability to decide whether the statements you're allowing yourself to make about your types are the kinds of statements you consider meaningful.

One could easily change the taxonomy from "wheel" and "brake pad" to "spinning surface" and "stopping surface." And if you want to construct a bicycle by composition, you know that in order to implement brake() you need two items which implement SpinningSurface and StoppingSurface. The SpinningSurface could easily be of type WheelRim, but it could also be of type BrakeDisc. And in both cases the StoppingSurface is of type BrakePad with the difference in how BrakePad is applied to SpinningSurface.

And with this taxonomy you could also allow users to use Shoes, WaterBottles, Wrenches, and a whole host of other objects as StoppingSurfaces.

So the problem isn't with trying to encode anything with types, the problem is that people try to encode everything with types. You have to pick your battles, and you have to devise your taxonomy such that you can make meaningful abstractions. That remains an art form.
So... "protection" like under the mafia but only if you can afford the state price, so its supporters invariably are high in the food^Wdecision chain. It doesn't seem like a very democratic rule of law.

> you can have more massive stars held up by radiation pressure from fusion

Radiation pressure actually isn't significant in the structure of most stars (it might be for huge stars near the Eddington limit). What holds up stars is ordinary thermal pressure due to the high temperatures inside them. The high temperatures are maintained by the fusion reactions in the stellar cores, yes. You're correct that objects like this do not have a maximum mass limit the way white dwarfs and neutron stars do.
> If the Constitution says "Congress shall make no law..." and Congress still makes a law, what are you going to do, throw Congress in jail? That's nonsense.

Well.. you could depose them. Or declare independence from them. That has happened a few times in history.

The Constitution is a social contract. The people say "we'll give you (government) these abc powers, if you promise to use them this xyz way." When that contract is broken, no one gets thrown in jail - its rather more severe. The legitimacy of the government is called into question, or dissolved.
Yikes like the clathrate gun that turned out to be nonsense, or yikes as in it's actually a threat? Not saying climate change isn't something to be worried about, but this article doesn't say if it'll release like 10% of yearly methane, or like 0.00001% and Ketzer's just trying to pump his publication count.

What I would really love to see is an indepedant website ranking all the threats. How bad is global shipping vs leaving your lights on? Or the clathrate gun vs burning oil fields? Or recycling your plastic vs throwing your plastic shit in the river in 3rd world countries?

Like there's was a dip in CO2 emiisions during covid, but only like a 15%. Who's producing the rest? 'cause it's now obviously not most of the population of the world who get lectured about recycling, it's obviously a small number of companies, which I think most of us would suspect probably has a high intersection with the small number of people hoarding wealth in the world.
If anyone is saying that we shouldn't throw a bunch of criminals in jail after they do the crime, because we can't just do that, we can.

Abstract art is about representing something invisible in a culture. It's like comedy--the joke only lands if it resonates with some unspoken, often even unrealized, but shared experience. And abstract artists, like comedians, keep hammering on very similar themes, even if their output is superficially diverse throughout their career. IOW, they're like craftsmen who become increasingly, intimately familiar with some shape or form, the ways it can be manipulated, and (to the extent they're interested) reintegrated into the culture.

There's much more craftsmanship (e.g. the cultivation of tacit knowledge) in abstract art than meets the eye. Relative to the entire process, the substantive novelity, such it is, is so miniscule that I would hesitate to say that it's greater than what can be found in the more mundane crafts, at least when comparing people of similar intensity, intelligence, and devotion. And often the reverse may be true, as the constraints in working on well-trodden ground can be challenging and inspiring. That's my $0.02. ;)

TL;DR: I agree.
This was very eloquent. I appreciate this description.

For many years I was happy with my multi-monitor setups. I'd use multiple screens for work, and turn all off except the center one for watching movies or playing games (because the backlight bleeding of the other screens was annoying, even with a 100 % black image).

That's not possible any more. Microsoft, VESA, nVidia say no. This mustn't be possible. (Actually it used to be possible to add a registry key in Windows 7 that disabled all of this bullshit, but Microsoft wisely decided in Windows 10 to remove that. It must not be done.)

Turning compliant DisplayPort devices off while using a compliant operating system must always garble all windows and shuffle desktop icons around. The spec says so. So it must be. The will of the ancients.

(nVidia will allow you to turn this off, if you are using a Quadro card - then you can use EDID emulation even on display-ports, which causes the OS to think the display is always connected - and more importantly - turned on. One of these areas where Linux is ahead -- although Linux is back to garbling windows like the rest in case you do actually decide, as an individual with agency, not a compliant operating system, to change the arrangement of displays.)

> Navalny received a scholarship to the Yale World Fellows program at Yale University in 2010.

Imagine an American politician received a scholarship to study at a Russian university. I think such a politician would be accused of being a quisling immediately and the FBI would accuse him of lying to put him away like they did to General Flynn.

> With regard to Russia's annexation of Crimea, Navalny shortly after the annexation urged further sanctions against officials and businessmen linked to Putin and proposed a sanctions list for Western countries

Wow. Here he’s calling for foreign governments to intervene to attack his political opponents. If Trump were to call on Putin to sanction Biden the US media would be brandishing pitch forks on live TV.

For white dwarfs, at least, this process is one possible way to trigger a supernova--a white dwarf right at the limit accretes some more mass and collapses catastrophically; the collapse triggers a supernova explosion.
They're not going to do that, which is why people asking for harm reduction call for defunding the police. They are harmful, so we need less of them. They don't prevent crime, so there's little point to having them around.

Other problems with America stem from allowing a few people to control everything who then run rampant. Rather we should restructure things with stronger institutions that have more democratic buy in.
No, he really is right.

A lot of software, especially websites, have annoying waits for Vsync that are not needed in them.

When you update styles that triggers a reflow or repaint, then you can introduce a wait for VSync in your website thats stalls flow until it is finished.

If you add 3 frames of delay at 60fps then it's 50ms of delay, and only 25ms at 120fps. It doesn't sound like a lot, but that 25ms can be the difference between feeling totally fluid and not, and a lot of websites are even worse than that.

Software can be IO bound, Network bound, CPU bound, memory bound.

Modern software is Vsync bound!
Golly! Well, the minimum practical RR size is 2 bytes for the name (a compression pointer), 2x2 bytes for class and type, 4 bytes for TTL, 2 bytes for length, and some data, e.g. 4 bytes for an A record: total, 16 bytes. So you can't fit more than about 4k records in a DNS response.

It is actually possible to have a zone with an RRset much bigger than that, and it will transfer successfully with AXFR or IXFR, and you can make the RRset bigger or smaller with UPDATE - but you won't be able to query for it... unless the server has some nonstandard shenanigans for returning partial data, as many of them do.
Yes! Same.

I think the difference is in the incentive to stop someone in the moment.

In places where cash bribes are common, police will pull people over -- even if they've done nothing wrong -- in order to solicit a bribe.

That sort of thing isn't possible with the "courtesy cards", so police stops are more likely to be for legitimate reasons (or at least no more or less legitimate than in an ideal system), but people who shouldn't get away with things often will.

You'll need to check if your snapdragon or exynos for compatability.

It gets you the latest version of android (since samsung decided that 2 years is all they're willing to support their flagship phone for) and a complete lack of bloatware.

I'll add that some apps (noteably netflix and banking) can throw a hissy fit on rooted phones and you will have to use something like Magisk to get the app store to function correctly and allow you to download the apps.
The historical track record isn't good.

India heavily depends on software consulting and BPO exports for its foreign currency (over 100 billion usd per year).

If China really wants to retaliate, it can sanction the WITCH companies and force any multinational who wants to be in China to not use them. This will also benefit competitors in other developing countries like Phillipines or Pakistan.

India is playing with fire here. Especially dropping out of RCEP, the risk being encircled economically.
I don't doubt your experiences at all, but my suspicion is that people are articulating their positions poorly, and their anger and defensiveness is explained by a frustration at their own inability to adequately articulate and defend their position.

Usually when I disarmingly unpack the "rule of law" issue with people, their argument is more akin to "if we crack down on police, then it will empower criminals" which is a different disagreement than whether all cops are good or all cops are bad. Their argument is perhaps more aptly described as "we have to choose between mostly good cops and mostly bad criminals and we'd rather take the former". They would rather police rough up a few protesters if it means dissuading rioters from burning the neighborhood down.

Of course, I firmly believe we can have our cake and eat it too--after all, better policing seems to exist in Europe, but it takes some faith and imagination, especially when I'm honest with myself about the ways in which we differ from Europe (wealth inequality, diversity, corruption, 2A rights, etc). I'm a pretty educated, articulate person who has thought a lot about these issues. I can certainly appreciate how the every-man would see things differently.

I think that means it's incumbent upon us to communicate a vision of things working properly that addresses our unique challenges, and I certainly don't blame people for failing to be persuaded by the riots, protests, and generally demeaning rhetoric.
