> it is the general principle

So you're extrapolating a general principle that has yet to be proven anywhere into an industry you know nothing about. Great. This sort of attitude is part of why folks generally sneer at BlockChain enthusiasts.

> you are arguing that the status quo is the only way to make things and that the only way to have any change is when they are of interest to the status quo

You keep building a strawman of my argument that's easy for you to tear down. Are you aware that there are more choices than "status quo" and BlockChain?

> when the people holding the purses start asking for a solution

That's the thing, consumers DGIF, and have proven this for generations by purchasing based on cost and quality alone.
Redirection is not a parameter, meaning that would still not work with this Q tool.
I've started to use a RPi4 instead (output is through a simple USB DAC) and the quality is pretty much the same. Additionally, it makes for a simpler setup if you have a dedicated unit for the purpose.
I absolutely agree. I run FreeBSD on my NAS to take advantage of ZFS but every time I update it I have to Google the process or find my notes since it's incredibly non-intuitive.
There is a possibly habitable layer (for non-extremophiles) in the atmosphere of Venus. Microbes live in Earth's atmosphere.

This of course does not account for other differences such as the rate at which microbes are transported into Earth's atmosphere, and whether that possibly habitable layer on Venus is stable enough to sustain a population.

what about something like a non-profit? I was quite disappointed that keybase.io sold to zoom. I always thought more of it like a neutral public utility.
I am learning for the first time as an adult. Decided to pick up a Yamaha P45 and it’s treated me well. The weighted keys feel nice, and the features are welcome and not distracting. I think it will serve me well as I continue learning, but I am only a few months in so far so it’s really too early to tell haha
If you use renewables, you're using heat that is already around on the planet. As long as you don't change planetary albedo, equilibrium temperature is the same.

Of course, heating water locally, etc, can cause its own environmental impacts.
The replacement price issue there is probably both a protection against resellers and an incorporation of an expedite fee.

AirPods are made of three components: left earbud, right earbud, and charging case. More granular repairs are neither offered nor possible due to glues and so forth, though damaged parts can be recycled for scrap. So repairs can only replace those three parts in total, and perform no other purpose. This is still useful if you lose an earbud on the subway, or if your charging case lid snaps off, but it opens the door for an exploit as well.

If you have a set of AirPods and you want to jump the line at Apple to buy another set and sell them to someone else, you can simply 'lose' each piece of your set of AirPods. Once you have a complete set of all three parts, you can assemble a fully standalone AirPods and sell it, using the parts that you got from repair.

To prevent this, repair sets their prices for the individual parts to exceed the final unit price of the whole. This isn't a big deal if you damage one part only

Repair costs probably also include 'expedited priority' versus those purchasing new products for the first time, so if there was a waiting list of 4-6 weeks to buy new AirPods, repair's full replacement price would bypass that list and get you your replacements immediately.

They still should have told you on the phone that the repair cost exceeds the repurchase cost and offered to discount the price in exchange for whatever the current wait is for folks buying them on the website.
Sorry, but this sounds mean.
I'd agree with what you describe, which I'd call policy-baked corruption for short.

I strongly disagree on the notion that deciding the way each of us lives is on the shoulders of the profit-driven directors.
So weird, phosphine is potentially the output of some life-based chemistry happening, but phophine has a lot of hydrogen. Hydrogen is something that Venus does not have a lot of. I haven't seen this addressed anywhere in the discussion yet.
Why would anyone link those two things? That just seems insane to me.
I believe that's the same in FreeBSD as well. I also think it's a solved problem in the Linux world - OpenSuse Tumbleweed sometimes rebuilds every package because they've changed libc. Apart from watching 2000+ packages get updated, there's really no impact when this happens.

To solve this, the updater could create a new boot environment[0], install everything in that boot environment using as many passes as required, then reboot into that environment. OpenSuse already does a similar thing[1], though I don't know how well it works.

Very interesting, I hope that this paper gets peer reviewed so we can determine if the whole manmade hypothesis is real or not.
The thinking is probably more like, look at how the EU is infighting over who takes the refugees.
I do enjoy my quest experience a lot. However, the big issue for Oculus is the lack of some big titles to get more people to the eco-system. If you look at the top charts, you will notice that the top ones stay there for a whole year. Maybe it is due to the form factor which limit the types of games on it.
> I explained that I think that the ribbon cable is simply faulty and that it probably just needed a replacement. The Genius said that they're going to bring it in the back to do every single one of the things I mentioned that I already did.

People who are technical like you, or myself, and attempt to fix things, and often know more than techs, it's frustrating.

But consider how many people come in that don't do those things, or don't do them but said they did, etc.

Honestly, often times when a coworker of mine is checking an issue I'm having, the issue is a minor one that I somehow missed.
Power may be fungible, but purchase agreements are less so. Someone has to contract with that coal plant. If nobody is buying from them they have to close. And if there's a lot of companies that want to give themselves a grain paint then there'll also be more demand for renewables than supply and more will have to be built.
That is of course entirely dependent on the accounting being done correctly.
I recommend Michael's book,it's great.

I'm not sure if *everything he says is 100% correct, but many points he raises make total sense, and just by bringing up some of his concerns in a normal conversation, I would be put into the same box with the flat earthers.

Science is not as clear cut as most people would like to think, especially in regards to very complex systems. Simulations and models are just that, simulations and models.

And according to the article those $99-type whales are elevated into the "high-rollers" areas where the amounts gambled for are larger... leading to a similar amount of playtime at "higher stakes" only because of digital zeros.

Conflating power and energy, and not considering the amount of heat that would be dissipated away, completely destroy any meaning this math would have.
> everyone was talking about how recycling was the worst

Curious to hear some of these examples.

If you look at Japan, for example, they obsessively went all in on recycling. Look at how many different types of recyclables they have, the new electronics craze, the apartment complex obasans that would bring your unsorted garbage back to your unit door as a form of passive-aggressive social peer pressure, etc.

I distinctly remember being taught about recycling in school, and reading about it in children's books, but reduce and reuse were at best afterthoughts, if mentioned at all.

Governments spend a considerable amount on recycling education (e.g. pamphlets about what can and cannot go in a recycling bin), but the taxation incentives I'm aware of don't really paint a super convincing reduce/reuse-oriented strategy.
I don't think it's so much "buy a new one" as it is "buy apple care."
No, we're all pretty average people. Mediocre colleges with mediocre degrees and mediocre working histories.

Oracle’s TikTok deal accomplishes nothing
Yeah. It’s probably one of those learned power moves. In other words this is a signal to others they have “the power” to do that. Same as people who have the “power” to show up late and disheveled and still be taken seriously. Most everyone accepts that idiosyncratic tick. I think this is not much different.
and if there are any salmon in the area, any sea lion could also be quite dangerous to the whole.
Certainly university-grade hardware isn't commercial-quality but just as most Linux development is now done by paid professionals we are starting to see production cores like SweRV that happen to also be open source.
The formula for calculating this is: Q = c_p * d * V * (ΔT). Assuming an isobaric specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/(g K) and a density of 1.00 g/cm^3, heating a liter of water 1.00 K would take 4.18 kJ.

Giving OP's number for the volume of water in the ocean, heating the ocean 0.01 K would be 5.4 * 10^22 J. Assuming 365 days in a year, that's 1.7 * 10^15 W, an order of magnitude less than OPs figure for datacenter power-usage.
The biggest factor is Time. It takes a lot of time (in years) and different types of experience (which again mostly comes with time) to become an expert at one thing. You cannot deep dive into something within a short span of time and become an expert.

I would use the analogy that just because a woman can have a baby in 9 months, 9 women cannot have a baby in 1 month. You must spend 9 months to have a baby. So to be an expert at anything, it takes years of practice, errors, lessons learned, experiences to fully grasp a topic as an expert.
It’s not going to destroy the business it’s going to destroy the current business model. The point is that the only way this deal can make sense for Nvidia, is to use ARM’s IP as a competitive advantage over other competitors. Until now, ARM’s value proposition has been IP neutrality for the various user companies.
Nvidia’s $40B Arm acquisition is about bringing AI down from the cloud

I came here to say this as well. PayPal is garbage and should never be used, at least as a consumer. There are much better options available. I have never had PayPal side with me in any dispute, no matter how one sided it was. I closed my account in 2014. Haven't missed it.

Which as far as I can tell isn't terrible if you don't breath it in and if you do the official allowed exposure time is 10 minutes for 5 ppm. I would recommend you wear goggles in addition to breathing equipment, though.

One great resource to get your toes wet on this topic is to read the "Neither Dog nor Wolf" series by Kent Nerburn [1].

I was going to link to the Goodreads for the books, but when I went there just now it had full page ads that completely changed the styling of the page. So f that.

I was doing my first Linux install around the same time. I ordered an install CD from both Ubuntu and Linux Mint; the Mint one came in first, so that's the OS I used for my first few years. I used the CD to make a bootable usb stick so that I could use the internet when my parents weren't home (they kept Windows password protected). I've never actually run Windows on a personal machine since I didn't have my own until college, and but that time I was a few years into my Linux journey.
Good call. You’re totally correct, I was thinking about it from the wrong angle.
Stoicism would be helpful because of how common emotional manipulation is as a vector from sociopaths and how those they manipulate wind up /acting/ almost indistinguishable from sociopaths except they don't even remotely serve their own interests. Look at the Covidiots spreading disease because a politician doesn't want to admit the obvious - that they fucked up big time.

Or the long list of fucking stupid moral panics oriented around children from people trying to get reelected and everything "satanic" which ironically enough many children could have told them was just plain dumb. While empathy would be good emotions alone aren't enough as even "a desire to protect one's offspring" may be twisted horrifically. Community I am deeply skeptical of as a value in itself given how often it winds up something deeply toxic and stupid from acting like dumb herd animals. Sure internal investment would be good but given their record community itself can piss off.

It's very silly to imagine that CA was the only player on the market. They are just the one that worked for the incorrect candidate.
The situation on linux is actually different because the kernel and glibc are maintained separately and the syscall ABI is treated as a boundary between components.

Any time a new syscall is wrapped the userland maintainers need to account for what happens when run on an old kernel and typically have some fallback logic.

> OP didn't screenshot the login screen in app, so I can only assume it was a real Facebook oauth flow

My guess would be that it was an in-app phishing page. Many legitimate login flows result in the official login page opening in a web view and asking for a password, which is indistinguishable from a phishing page.

> but honestly at that point it's already too late. If anything OP should be grateful that the native app running on what was presumably his personal device didn't do anything worse.

On phones, sandboxing significantly reduces the risk. Yes, it is possible to break out of the sandboxes if you have an exploit for that device, but it's a lot harder than on desktop where by default anything you install has full control over everything and could just steal all the users' passwords.

An IBM/Unisys mainframe running on PowerPC is quite different from how it was born in the late 70's, early 80's.

So how come Apple and NVidia are able to massage LLVM bitcode to serve their purposes?

Deciding that they don't want to keep backwards compatibility is definitely politics.
Open does not shuts out commercial and enterprise companies.

Providers of RISC-V HW or Designs, like Alibaba, SiFive or Western Digital, do lots of testing too.

It would be like saying that Linux does not provides the quality of commercial closed OS (kernel), this is just wrong in multiple ways:

1. Linux is also sold as base of some commercial OS (e.g., RHEL, SUSE)

2. Lots of commercial companies revenue depends directly or indirectly on it, so there's a massive testing effort. In it's sum it so massive that I cannot believe that it's matched by any closed commercial kernel (no actual numbers here, sorry, this is really just personal ball parking).

The same can happen to RISC-V, the combined testing effort can easily outnumber the one of ARM in the future.

So while yes, testing and verification is not free, it is just not an argument at all against any open CPU design, be it openPOWER, RISC-V, open MIPS, ... Rather, it speaks again for openness as combined test effort will be hard to be matched by a single closed player.
The conservationists shared a portion of the revenue from the park with the adjacent villages. This helped create a symbiotic relationship between the gorillas and villages.

Not saying that this solution will work with poachers but there is probably a combination of approaches needed to preserve the biodiversity. One national park in India has given legal protection to park rangers if they were to kill to poachers and that has had a dramatic impact on the population of single horned rhinos. In 2015 park rangers shot dead more poachers than poachers killing rhinos for Chinese medicine.

I guess it depends what you mean by "waste heat". I consider the waste heat as the "extra" heat/energy on top of the heat moved. But even if you consider all the heat as waste heat, calling 30% more "far" more seems like an exaggeration.
Uber and Lyft are not a good solution. I could every trip on them as worth a weeks worth of driving alone since you don't know where those drivers are driving (or sitting stopped waiting for a call) when you call them. If everyone is normally using transit they are okay - but then there should be all day service to the campus so you don't need them. (I will agree if you say I'm over counting their environmental costs - I do that to make a point that is often ignored)
Unfortunately, the ‘brightest minds’ often underperform the naive median, sometimes disastrously. I see many problems that arise from your solution, that is, well-considered research and reasoning, dumbed down to coercive propaganda for ‘the masses’ until it no longer resembles the original substance, but somehow now benefits the messenger. As in: “...If you can bear to hear the truths you’ve spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools...”

Nobody is sure, some parts are so nice that perhaps are inevitable, some parts are too random.

DNA and RNA: Perhaps they are inevitable, and any lifeforms have the same molecules and bases. Perhaps some lifeform can use only the methylated versions? Is ribose inevitable? Is 3 bases per codon inevitable? But I think there is a chance for inevitability.

The list of amino acids is somewhat random. We use 20, Some bacteria use a 1 or 2 more. And we can transform in place the amino acid inside a protein into another amino acid. I expect a similar list of 20+-5 amino acids. A perfect coincidence would be too hard, but it is not even true for terrestrial life.

The most interesting part is the Genetic Code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_code that translate the 4^3=64 combinations of bases in the DNA to the 20 amino acids. As far as we know it is random. It has some internal structure, for example the code is mostly like 16 blocks to encode 15 amino acids and a stop signal, and a few tweaks here and there to break some block to encode the other 5 amino acids. But as far as we know there are no reasons to choose each block as us.

Some bacteria use versions with small tweaks, with one or two changes, so we know it if possible to change it, but very difficult to make a total rewrite.

If the life out there use the same Genetic Code (with a few tweaks) it is almost sure it is related to us.
When you do a login with Facebook, does the popup show you what permissions are being requested? I know I've seen that before.

> I am not a fan. We’re heading to naming all the major weather which happens often and is just going to desensitize people.

I have to concur and the prospect of some small town having a welcome Heatwave Karen parade is one that will sadly only go to normalise attitudes towards climate change and may even become counter productive. More so as the demographic they are going for that would warm to naming such weather events are equally more inclined to be less believing of climate change.
I could totally see a sort of verification@home distributed effort to help test open-source CPUs.
To me, "paying for" and "diluted" connotates negative emotions.

Cash paid in this instance is treated no different than cash in their normal operating expenses. If either generates profits in line with their current expected returns, the stock price stays the same, and everyone is indifferent to the transaction.

Same goes for stock issuance. If the expectation of the use of proceeds from the issuance are in line with the company's current expected returns, everyone is indifferent.

Your statement is still true, and the stock market jumped today on the news, so I feel my connotation is misplaced.
What kind of work are these junior employees doing that is this highly measurable?
> Looks like rather generic design to me

Just make a 3-way comparison between apple airpods [1], oneplus buds [2] and the previous oneplus bullets [3]. Ignore the cable.

OnePlus change their design to be shaped like a quarter note, remove the controls, change to white shiny plastic, add a downward pointing cylinder with a silver ring at the end, change to hard plastic instead of a soft rubber earpiece, change to a 0 shaped sound outlet, add a charging case, and make the charging case white and unbranded with rounded corners a flip top and a single green LED at the centre?

This is fairly blatantly an off-brand clone. However, I don't think off-brand clones are illegal if sold as such, so I'm not sure this shipment should have been seized - but I can understand the custom agents' confusion.
