>basic reasoning tells you that there is a sphere beyond which is outside our light cone, and yet outside which the universe still exists.

Of course, but basic reasoning isn't evidence. Again... "evidence" implies something that can be observed, and something that can be observed, by definition, lies within the observable universe.

>Are you saying the observable universe is bounded to our Hubble volume?

I'm saying the observable universe is bounded to what we can observe, and evidence of something beyond the observable universe is a contradiction in terms.

I don't know how I can possibly make it simpler.
Can you people please stop with this unhealthy attention.

You need to understand that Swedish culture is really unhealthy right now and I ask all of you - I plead to you - as a Swede, to please stop giving Swedish policy attention so we can, on our own, solve our problems and get back to some kind of normalcy and humbleness.

What has happened the past 30+ years and has become really problematic the past 10 years is that Sweden has this extremely unhealthy culture of believing in Swedish exceptionalism while at the same time craving attention from other nations, and promoting this belief socially. While the Swedish Corona strategy is not explicitly designed to be contrarian at the world stage (and therefor get a lot of attention), the way Swedish mono-culture works is that the people who implement policy (as well as many citizens) chauvinistically and subconsciously believe that Sweden is somehow superior to other nations and at the same time believe that Sweden (as an exceptional country) has something to teach inferior countries (i.e all other countries).

So where we are right now is that we have this unhealthy feedback loop where Sweden initially did it's own thing, and as it turned out to be different that has been a signal to policy makers that Sweden is right. Because Sweden is exceptional, so if the policy is different from inferior countries (i.e all other countries), it must be right.

I wish, probably more than anything else, that other countries would just stop giving Swedish policy makers this attention because then maybe, hopefully, our politicians can start to do what's right for our citizens instead of what gets attention and talking points at the world stage.

This is far broader than Corona: Sweden gets way too much attention overall, because Swedish politicians and government communication employees have nailed "marketing" more than anything else. They crave this attention and they manufacture policy to get attention, at the expense of the people who live in the country. Often under the guise of marketing Sweden as a "moral super power", superior to other nations.

So please, if you are for example a left leaning American, please don't use Sweden as a political piece. Don't give our politicians this attention. There are many other countries that deserve attention but they deserve attention because they do The Right Thing. Like Denmark. Not like Sweden that fucks things up but enjoy the attention it gets when doing so, citizens be damned.
IBM spun out their keyboard division decades back when they they spun out printers (into Lexmark). The current inheritor of the keyboards is Unicomp (having bought it from Lexmark/IBM): https://www.pckeyboard.com/

It's a bit cheaper to buy from them than to pay for an antique on eBay.

Also, there's a wave of mechanical options from more recent companies like Das Keyboard or the various DIY kits with choose your Cherry switch adventures.
From my understanding, the sole reason that many sports are sex-segregated is because women can’t compete at men’s levels in those sports.

Why else have a male soccer and female soccer (other than historical reasons that could, nowadays, be abolished)?

Female-only sports exist to favor women. Parasports exist for a similar reason. If you can’t prove to be part of either group, one would just have to take your word for it.

If a random guy said “I’m a woman,” would that have to be enough?
Weren’t “Pascal strings” limited in that they were only a byte though? So, your string could only be 255 bytes long (conveniently going to a nice round 256 when you add the length byte).
Everyone loves to try and score some cheap virtue points harping about safety but I don't see how a beam between two poles is worse than a live wire between two poles. Whether it's a metal line or not doesn't matter. You touch that space it's not gonna end well. The danger is constant compared to other electrical transmission and there are other benefits. Seems like a net positive so why not try it for niche use cases where its advantages make sense.
It is your iPhone. And you can sideload apps onto the iPhone, for free, using a number of different non-jailbreak but still PITA options.

The App Store, however, is their store.
Oh yes, people get all kinds of crap in brushing schemes. Currently, though, tons of people are getting seeds, which people suspect is some sort of large-scale brushing mega-project.
Now try that in Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, or any other major retailer. Have you also noticed that the same goods even where it is allowed is sometimes marked at a different price? Do you think that the marked price does not already include the retailers markup?

Sure you have an alternative - Android.

Just like back in the day, Nintendo refused to allow certain types of games.

This is a combination of regurgitated mantras from the show and fan fiction.

They defend Trump at every turn and only hold his feet to the fire for things like “Tweeting too much.” You need only look to the subreddit for the show to see those that fell off over the years owing to their alt right turn. Let’s not pretend this is some accusation you’ve never heard before.

As the other replier said, they constantly and consistently repeated the Obama birtherism nonsense. Now they defend Trump. There is a throughline there, you just don’t want to see it.

If you dispute the dollar amount, what dollar amount would make you happy? It's still reckless immaturity.
I'm absolutely terrible and uneducated when it comes to math, so I'm not sure exactly what you mean. But if you mean 1/x where x = infinity, then yes, the classical idea of a singularity (such as what's been theorized to exist within a black hole, curving to an infinitely small point) is basically like 1/infinity or dividing by zero.

Rovelli hypothesizes this never actually happens and is not physically possible, and rather, when the most physically extreme possible level of curvature does occur, it "snaps back". If true, this ensures black holes do actually behave predictably, and physics doesn't actually break down; it just gets as extreme as it can possibly get.

So under this hypothesis, x gets really high, but the universe prevents it from ever reaching infinity. This would also potentially resolve some paradoxes related to black holes.
Yet everyone is freaking out and moralizing about nonfinancial data voluntarily given to Facebook. If only the credit bureaus kept our financial and identity data as Facebook kept your list of favorite movies and your selfies.
Yes, it will be interesting to follow the SCC's (Standard Contractual Clauses). But, even though they were upheld, it is still up to the data exporter to guerantee before every transfer, that the SCC will provide an "essentially equivalent" protection to that offerend in the EU with GDPR for instance.
It will also be dependant on all circumstances of the SCC whether the protections offered by it is enough, for instance if the receiving end could be compelled by the government, for instance, to hand over the data.

It is hard to imagine a SCC that could provide "essentially equivalent" protection if the other end is an American company, given the authority the US government can exert over it.
This applies to any business that operates a store, and a business that sells a product within that store.

I had issues that I can't immediately recall with flux on linux, but redshift + redshift-gtk worked out the box. I had to tweak the config a bit, but once it was set it I never touched it again. One of the only issues with redshift was that if you didn't hardcode a lat/long in the .conf then it would ddos location services.
Except that you can't define an NAND gate without defining an output voltage for each of 0 and 1. You can't bootstrap +5V into existence ...and for that matter you can't define a NAND gate without specifying what input voltage will be interpreted as a 1. It is quite as ridiculous as kazinator intended.

But great mansplanation, carry on.
The alternatives are all the other platforms that allow third-party app installations/stores, such as Windows, Android and OSX, all of which have a huge problem with malware.
> I can't help but think that the whole thing is playing out exactly like Epic had hoped.

It seems to be hurting them more than Apple: Epic Games Asks Court to Allow Fortnite Back on the App Store: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/09/05/epic-injuction-fortnite...

> Meanwhile, Epic now has a very good reason to collect a working email address from every past iOS customer

One of the biggest reason I love using Sign-In With Apple is so that I don't have to give my email to any one else.

All of the other news, like hampering advertisers, is good for users but bad for companies and developers who like to prey on users.
That's not how it would work though. You'd see things similar to what Epic themselves did on Android originally, where they required people who wanted to play Fortnite to download the APK directly from Epic, which of course led to hundreds of fake and infected apps on the net, harming users.
or cartels, or price fixing, or vertical monopolies, or industry consolidation, or effective monopolies ... when you let a thousand flowers bloom, unless you're careful usually all you get are weeds.
Yes, they don't, but omitting it will greatly increase signups friction, which means less registered users, less retention and less revenue at the end of the day.

Yes, their numbers are very similar, in some cases better, to the places in Europe that had the worst outbreaks. Meanwhile their much more comparable neighboring countries have 5 to 10x better outcomes.
What is obvious is no single person requires all of it, and everyone uses a different subset of features so its nice to have everything in one package. The integration with their admin cloud service allows easy management of the software in terms of deployment, compliance and everything else. I agree it is bloated and there is significant vendor lock-in from MS, but there is nothing comparable IMHO. I think it would easily cost $100 mil to duplicate all the features.
It's the why that holds that interests me.

The best explanation I've come up with is that as a naive developer, it's impossible to know the nuances of any sufficiently complex process or workflow.
Hi Shannifin, at Replica (https://replicastudios.com/) we have a lot of serious use cases from our customers and increasingly more uses as the tech has been improving and the product becomes easier to use!

Currently we have seen users develop pretty much anything such as: games from indie to AAA, animations and other creative clips, audio books and spoken stories of all types, enterprise coaching videos, ads, and much more!
I was thinking the telepresence aspect of it--coupled with teamwork--was really intriguing. Imagine if office buildings were equipped with whatever advancements will come of this concept, everyone with office jobs could go back to work together but remotely.

Kinda how Second Life was too disconnected from reality, it immediately became a fantasy world. If telepresence is tied to a real location (for some definition of real, and likely to change over time), it may bridge the uncanny valley and succeed. Strange that it took a virus to get us there.

And don't forget that these assets are being downloaded from services that have to pay to store them and then pay for upload bandwidth to send them to you.

If you browse to an imgur hosted image on a mobile device, you'll find that the quality is visibly bad. And it's not because the client didn't have enough bandwidth.
> but your needs will increase, way more and way faster than you expect.

Forever? Is there no bandwidth so great that most users would be happy with it? Can new uses for extra bandwidth always be found, and do at least some of those uses always significantly improve the user experience?

I wouldn't? News to me! I just disabled 4G on my phone, which fell back to HSPA+ with a fast.com result of about 7mbps. I then successfully tested a Zoom test meeting with video (worked fine) and watched a YouTube video at 1080p (buffered for three seconds at the start, noticeably longer than usual, but then played fine).

Kind of makes the point whenever alt-right apologists need to look to comments from an opponent from 40 years ago to prove their guy, today, is aokay. Akin to how the GOP likes to point out where the Democrats were during Jim Crow.

That's essentially how a jet engine works but replacing the combustion chambers with electric heaters - and it sounds really expensive in terms of power consumption. An alternative is a kind of plasma propulsion engine called a VASIMR [0] engine.

I don't want to do the napkin math but my gut is the most practical electrical mechanism to get enough delta-V to LEO is a railgun but doing the acceleration up front would have probably have undesirable effects on the payload.

Interesting, this adds to a thought I had a couple of weeks ago.

We can see the past, but we can’t go there, like an observer inside event horizon looking out, they can see light coming in, but can’t leave.

We can’t see the future, but when we are going there, like an observer falling into the event horizon. They can’t see what’s inside, but they can fall inside.

As we experience time, it’s like we are falling into a black hole made of time.
Wouldn’t that be interesting...

great sci fi plot, the earth is the center of the universe because anything out side of our sphere can’t be observed by our consciousness and ‘collapse’ into existence :)
Trying this now, but I'm stuck on authentication. My default browser is Firefox, but I have Firefox specifically configured to block access to Gmail. It would be great if I could choose the browser to use for login, or at least be able to copy the URL so I can put into Chrome.

In the meantime I'll change my default browser for a moment and see how it goes.

Edit: It worked switching default browsers.

> Turning back before it's too late,

Turning back the millisecond the danger is known.

There are certain warning signs that should not be ignored. Each group sport has them and over time you learn to follow some protocols or you have to find yourself some new friends.

For cycling in the Midwest, it's lightning strikes. There is no place to shelter and the storm can move faster than you can, so after the first strike, everyone is counting time to see if they're getting closer. If they are, you turn back for shelter, even if home is in front of you. Most of the time that's a foreshortened outing, but on one occasion we had to double back to the half-way point and wait it out. Even though that meant a lot more time out there and a longer route than we planned.

When they mentioned the black smoke and continuing forward, it made me angry. I had a sudden flash of the conversation that had us holing up, dripping wet, in a little town in the middle of nowhere. It was clear who was going to win the argument before we turned around, even though it wasn't what we wanted to hear. We all knew the rules, clearly these people don't.

(Over the years I've come to recognize how above average that group was in organization skills, but one should still aim for a solid grip of basic safety routines from inclement weather to common injuries and avoiding/treating heat stroke and exhaustion)

Especially Sicario.
C99 ensures it can be used with basically every other language and can be compiled for almost every platform. Bindings on top of that for other languages would be nice but can be provided by the community too. If it was C++, Rust, Nim, etc you'd have to write it in a way that allows exposing a C API anyway so the only advantage would be for people creating an implementation of the API getting to use a better language internally.
That would be quite nice, but I’m not sure I’d trust the government to not store and then lose all the secret keys near instantly.

If they can overcome that, sign me up.
No, it doesn't boil down to just speed. The goal is close correspondence between C source and the emitted assembly. This gets you a few advantages, one of which is performance up to a point (beyond which you will need to optimize). Another is ease of implementation, on a variety of architectures.
Could you cite this assertion? The data that I've reviewed shows a pretty robust immune response, especially given a booster within 1 month. This is specifically for the mRNA vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna.

Please also remember, when speaking of the United States, around 15% of the population has already been infected by SARS-COV-2[1], and even the most pessimistic of epidemiologists say that herd immunity is around 60%. So we need "infect" 45% more of the population to give COVID-19 a knockout blow. even 50% efficacy (which I believe is the standard lower bound for an approved vaccine), 300 million doses should do quite nicely (600 if you count boosters, which I should have).

Those are all worst case scenarios. Most likely, the efficacy will be higher than 50% (maybe not 90%, but I think 75% is safe) and most likely herd immunity is below 60% (due to heterogeneity in mixing and t-cell "immunity").

Things are looking up!

Does JSON API (https://jsonapi.org/) follow all this rules? If not what rules is not followeb and why in your opinion?
There are communities and subcultures for everything. I guess there are circles where having traveled to n countries is the brownie points or knowing the lyrics to all the XYZ artist's songs or knowing all about anime or whatever.

People come up with all kinds of subcultures. Obsessing over business/self help/entrepreneur books is just one such subculture. I guess they are not bragging about reading Anna Karenina but the latest best selling get-rich-by-this-mental-trick book endorsed by Elon Musk.

The solution is not to read linkedin.

Telling people to read fewer books is too general of an advice. Books span a huge range of different topics. Reading Kim Kardashian biography is not the same as reading a book on game theory or medieval history or a classic novel or a good sci-fi or an exciting psychothriller or whatever.

The same way, someone could saw "Do less sports!" because there are bodybuilding addicts and crossfit evangelists on Instagram who think you're subhuman if you don't work out 4 hours every day. Sure, there is such a subculture, but the general population does way too little sports. Similarly with reading.

You don't even need to say it like that: you have zero faith in humanity. You should have some faith, we've performed reasonably okay over time. The problem is thus: over a long enough time period, given any individual's inert desire to benefit from something, it will be attempted if not by one individual, then by another. Wanting to define, in law, through enforcement, terms of ethical conduct and its breach is reasonable and necessary herein where capital is involved.

I'd like to see a market for solely worker-owned cooperatives, in which stock dissolves over a fixed time-period, 5 years(restaurant)-500 years(asteroid mining). "Dissolve" being essentially buybacks that occur, bending based on performance. Then again, I'd like to see capital dissolving, normalizing, over 100 years, giving capital the property of entropy, redistributing it all, but very slowly over the span of a bit more than a human lifetime. This capital would be more valuable than any world currency.
