No, because the whole premise here is that investor behavior prevents this kind of bias. You can't take the whole argument and then cast massive, glaring contradictions to the core premise as merely bias.

In case anyone is confused, I prefer to explain the expansion of space without metaphors.

Space itself is getting larger, everywhere, all at once. The scale factor of the universe is getting larger. New space is constantly being "made". Every second, every kilometer in the universe grows by 2.2×10^-18 centimeters. If no other forces were in play, it'd carry everything along with it and pull everything a bit further apart. However, local forces like gravity and the strong and even the weak nuclear force are more than sufficient to hold everything together despite this, so the expansion cannot be locally observed.

That's a small number, but the universe is very big. The hubble constant is usually represented in km/s/Mpsc (kilometers per second per megaparsec), and in those units it comes out to 68. So, every second, every Megaparsec in the universe grows by 68 kilometers. The more parsecs between us and some distant thing, the more space is growing between us and them every second.

For reference, our nearest galactic neighbor is Andromeda, which is 67 kpc away, so about 100 meters of new space is created between our galaxies every second. That being said, Andromeda is heading towards the Milky Way at 110 km/s, so it easily overcomes this and will crash into us any day now^W^W^Win 4.5 billion years.
same here.

there are 2 approaches they use that make developing bots very difficult.

1. they detect device input. if there is no mouse movement, while the website is being loaded, they will consider it's a bot.

2. they detect the order of page visiting. A human visitor will not enumerate all paths, instead, they follow certain patterns. This is detectable with their machine learning model.

I really don't have a solution for #2
Redmond, WA didn't have orange skies (hazy and smokey, but not orange), but with air quality in the "unhealthy whether you're 'sensitive' or not" range and a thin layer of ash on the car, I decided to skip the morning run yesterday. According to TFA, it didn't smell smokey in SF, so perhaps that's why folks were out?
My understanding is there are two forms of 5G. One works like 4G but faster, and the other (millimeter wave) has the limitations you mentioned but crazy high bandwidth.

We’ll probably get a mix of the two deployed depending on topography, density, cost, etc.

Well, if the CPU has worked fine for ages but stops working after trying it out in (say) a new Dell server... then the cpu isn't really "returnable" as the Dell server is the one that broke it. :(
I'm not sure you are really disagreeing. Which is to say I don't see where the not "isn't true" part come from.

Yes classes are closer to the physical reality of modern computer (and that is one reason I prefer C++), but they are still the same construct as a closure and vice-versa. Everything is just implementation details.

Again I grant that languages designed around classes (or really in my opinion, around the physical reality of the device implementing them) are more useful in practice. But from a conceptional abstraction point the post is true.
Now at 11am in downtown SF it is much darker than it was early this morning when these pictures were taken. It's disturbing, to say the least.

So even if their obstruction system fails, the risk is already very very low.
Apple said: submit to our antitrust violation and we'll stop abusing our market position and let you back in.

Among other things, Apple does not allow developers to mention competing products or that discounts are available for purchasing outside of the Apple store.
10 billion is what, 5 months of their net profit on the app store?

Even if they do get fined this amount, it would have been worth it for them to abuse their position with the developers.
You miss my point the friction is often with colleagues (in addition to manager/employer) as the co-worker who is seeking a reduced workload often acts holier-than-thou with regards to needing someone to work more on their behalf, rather than being contrite...
> Perhaps the small libraries of historic figures has more to do with the availability of books than it does their minimalism.

The article also appears to be conflating the number of books owned (or more precisely, being depicted as owning) with the number of books read, which is supremely, jaw-droppingly dumb:

> We can pick up the minimalist attitude to reading in early visual depictions of one of the heroes of Christian scholarship, St Jerome – who was by all accounts the supreme intellect of Christendom, who translated the Greek and Hebrew portions of the Bible into Latin, wrote a large number of commentaries on scripture and is now the patron saint of libraries and librarians. But despite all his scholarly efforts, when it came to showing where and how St Jerome worked, a detail stands out: there are almost no books in his famous study. Strikingly, the most intelligent and thoughtful intellectual of the early church seems to have read fewer things than an average modern eight year old. To follow the depiction by Antonello da Messina, St Jerome appears to be the proud owner of about ten books in all!

How am I supposed to read this but as a claim that Jerome wrote more books than he read, based on a painting made a millennium after his death?

Clustered rendering can be done both deferred and forward.

They do a few things which are reminiscent of deferred, as you say. But what really makes a render deferred is the use of the gbuffer pass to only cull and collect data, followed by a rendering pass over a screen quad doing fragment shading with no potential overlap or wasted processing. Of course, you do get similar advantages from the depth prepass.
> Just over 20 years ago when the accepted view was that the expansion of the universe was slowing down

Was it ever a mainstream view? I thought it was just a conjecture, leading to the 'big crush', and was disproven long ago, way more than 2 decades ago.

> The entire premise of dating our universe is based on its observed rate of expansion

Also there's the cosmic microwave background radiation. We have mapped it, and this has also allowed us to corroborate when the universe has formed, what temperature it had, and when large scale structures appeared.

There's probably other sources that allows us to estimate the age of the universe.

> how can anyone be sure that it was the first and only Big Bang?

We can't. But it is an irrelevant conjecture outside of philosophy, we can't observe anything before the big bang.

> but in fact it's more likely that many Pangea's have come and gone in various states as the planet roils on

Sure, but that's a planet. We can't extrapolate much from that and apply to the universe at large.

> Perhaps the Big Bang was merely a "localized" event and there are Big Bangs occuring in distant places whose light will never reach us

Unobservable, therefore unfalsifiable, therefore unscientific. Philosophy again.

> imagine that the universe has already been through a near infinite number of Big Bang / Big Crunch cycles

Unless the rate of expansion starts to slow down or we have indication that it will ever reverse, there's no big crunch. The rate of expansion is increasing

> currently accepted theory is akin to believing that the Earth is the center of the universe and the sun revolves around us

Not really. You are dismissing generations of people dedicated to the study of these things. We have a pretty good idea of what's going on based on the scientific method, not conjectures from single individuals.

There are things that we don't know yet. On a macroscopic scale, dark matter. Things don't really behave as they should based on observations, so this is why we have dark matter as a hypothesis. There could be another mechanism, research is ongoing. But as far as the macro universe goes, that's the major thing we don't understand yet.

Most discoveries will likely come from a better understanding of the 'building blocks', of which quantum physics is at the forefront.

There's probably much more we don't know yet. But the age of the universe, as we observe it, is not among them.
Well said ledauphin!
Thanks for answering, i have a Gmail account that i barely use and i didn’t knew about all these features.
What exactly, and please be specific, do you think Apple is doing that is wrong? It is not clear from your comments.
And how would you get them out to, and stop at, 550 AU? Voyager 1 and 2 are nuclear powered with RTGs and they are respectively about 150 AU and 125 AU from the sun, and they are going really fast. The Voyager RTGs are also fairly depleted at this point. I’m guessing these spacecraft would need a faster, more efficient mode of propulsion, like a nuclear thruster or ion drive (or Epstein drive?!). One could also get a lot more fuel for the journey if the the probes didn’t have to launch fully fueled from the Earth’s surface.

Yea, 5G does support carrier aggregation with LTE. It looks like the big difference is in LAA (License Assisted Access). LAA allows the use of unlicensed spectrum which can be added to the licensed spectrum that carriers use. 5G NR Release 15 (which is what networks are almost assuredly running since Release 16 just came out in July) doesn't have the ability to use unlicensed spectrum. One of the images in the PCMag article (linked below) shows the different combinations. You can see how LTE with LAA just has a lot of spectrum dedicated to it. 5G ends up with almost the same amount of spectrum as LTE for non-LAA LTE.

And it's important to note that right now, 5G isn't that much more efficient than LTE. Remember, when LTE came out, it was advertised as 5-8Mbps which we'd consider slow today. 5G NR will get better as it evolves. However, right now it looks like it'll be around 20% more efficient in low-band deployments and 50% more efficient in mid-band deployments (T-Mobile had numbers similar to that in some FCC filings during their merger proceedings, IIRC). Things like higher-order MIMO will help mid-band and higher applications more.

Given the chart of relative 5G/4G download speeds and the fact that T-Mobile usually beats their 4G network, it seems likely that AT&T is leaning heavily on LAA for their LTE performance and that's the difference-maker. As Release-16 becomes what networks and phones are using, that will likely change.

> It would be nice if sites like Goodreads kept statistics on ratings for second/third/... reading

Goodreads already does. (A newish feature, which was kind of surprising when it appeared, because once Amazon bought Goodreads it has largely ceased to develop the site further or fix longstanding bugs. Goodreads is useful, but I strongly recommend that any GR user periodically use the Export function, because surely one day soon we’re going to wake up and the site won’t be there any more.)
Yes, but the limits on controlled burns is entirely NIMBY.

To some extent all firms have to grade on a curve, so does it really hurt me if my parent coworkers are less able to deliver? If anything it would help me comparatively, though maybe at an overall cost to the firm's goals (which are different from my personal goals).
To give you specific terms to research on, in cosmology this is called the "horizon problem" or the "homogeneity problem," basically put as "Why is the stuff over there so similar to the stuff right here when they're so far away? They ought to be causally disconnected by distance!"

The answer to this in the early universe is called inflation, which you can tag onto Alan Guth around 1981 or so. It involves spacetime itself stretching. Originally, everything was nearby and so it was all evened out -- about the same temperature, density, and so on, then it just gets pulled apart and "writ large" in a twinkling.
You don't need to root an Android device to load applications from outside the Play store. The security warning is pretty accurate and useful for most people but if you want to load apps from outside the store then you aren't most people so it shouldn't matter.

There's a reason alternatives to iOS and Android haven't picked up, some of those reasons are because for those that care to side load apps they can already do it on Android (or can go further and replace their OS) so not much incentive for a third mobile OS. If there was a strong enough need for an alternative then that would exist already.

Hey erikerikson -- I think your solution is indeed equivalent, and I would say even more idiomatic js.

> Whatever the intent of Goodreads initially, once Amazon bought it, it became a subtle funnel to drive sales of books, ideally through Amazon.

Goodreads was originally a "subtle funnel to drive sales of books", as any book listing there offered links to buy it through various online retailers, and Goodreads got a cut of those sales as the referrer. However, since most people were buying through Amazon (which had already succeeded in marginalizing its competition), Amazon was paying Goodreads a fortune each month in referral fees. In the end, Amazon felt it was cheaper just to buy Goodreads out entirely than maintain the status quo.

The limits will rise. They always do.
Implementation inheritance is not "simple" at all. It's not just "rebundling" class methods, it allows the 'rebundling' to happen at some arbitrary place in the class hierarchy in a way that inherently involves dynamic dispatch/late binding for every method (virtual) call. (Unless the set of callers and derived classes is entirely known in advance and can be dealt with via devirtualization, of course.) That's a very loose semantics, and it's no wonder that developers find it "hard" to reason about.
It seems to be a stable language at least. Perl 6 was rebranded for being too different and Perl 7 will be based on Perl 5 with the explicit goal of staying backwards compatible. Might as well migrate to Perl instead of Python 3, same amount of scripts to rewrite and test either way.
What are you even implying could go wrong? Seems perfectly safe to me.

That's not what I meant. With higher SNR you can achieve much better spectral efficiency, so it makes more sense for spectrum-time use to allocate the most bandwidth to high SNR users as they need it. It's not a constant or necessarily noticeable thing. My example was an extreme one for illustrative purposes. It could just as well be downloading 1MB of web content at 300Mb/s.
Microsoft has allowed sideloading and community developed games and apps on Xbox for a while now.

It had to be a big guy.

A little guy would not have the resources to fight off the most valuable corporation in the world. Apple could spend hundreds of millions in legal fees and it would be a rounding error on their financials. Apple could literally hire every lawyer in the US and the EU, pay them their normal rates, and treat the entire expense as an immaterial item on their annual financials.

There are few companies in the world with the resources to fight Apple, and fewer still with the willingness (or reason) to do so.
Yes. The Restaurant is at the "end" in the time dimension, not the spatial dimension.
Getting kicked out of a mom and pop shop isn’t going to end my business. Apple has the power to create a visible spike in the world’s unemployment graphs whenever they want. When a company gets that big, it needs to be heavily regulated and scrutinized.

Actually re-watched the video and realized that not ten minutes ago.

It is nice that places like Peace Arch Park exist though.
It was in response to : [..] Plus when you land there, you won't be getting help or support. So toss all your support network for more space. For some that's reasonable, but for many it is not, and presuming that it's their own 'fault' for not moving is not charitable.[..]

It is just one more failure to come up with a robust solution to the problem here.

Immigrants land in places without a social net or help or support network literally 100% of the time. Often moving to places where language and culture and geography is starkly different from what they are used to reach for their best interests.

It is not the end of the world. To refuse to leave the cozy familiarity of ones social network is understandable only to those who feel the he same way.

Most immigrants I know leave their home countries and the coziness of familiarity for their children. And moving around America even temporarily is not the same as moving across oceans for a better quality of life.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Will Mimestream-local snooze necessitate introducing an intermediate server to track across platforms, or will you use something like iCloud sync to keep track?
Yeah but... People write libraries in garbage collected byte code languages, I have seen zxing (java) run on phones from 10 years ago much less powerful than today, and it can still get a decent framerate processing the camera without any special tricks.
Yeah, VR comes to mind. But also speed gets reduced even with a small deterioration in signal. If you're getting 10-20mbps at full strength, you might get 1-3 Mbps with a weak signal. I would presume that 5G would be faster in weaker signal scenarios.

In the US with ATT I currently pay $90/month (15.2x more!) for "5Ge" (fake 5G, which is actually 4G).

I've went above that limit a few times but was never throttled (so that's good!). I guess another silver lining is that the plan works in similar unlimited fashion in Mexico/Canada.
