Shapr3D on iOS is free or $240/year for the pro version. I've barely used it (I use Solidworks for work) but it does use the same Parasolid kernel as Solidworks, Onshape, NX and many other serious CAD packages.

Actually, quite big. And a VPN likely wouldn't be needed at all, it's a worst case scenario.

In any case, if people are willing to pay for an iPhone with TikTok pre-installed, they're willing to pay 2$ a month (or less) for a VPN.
"How is [Islamic finance] different from secular finance?

The difference is, for example, that they don't charge interest. They can't indulge in some particularly risky or speculative transactions. There's actually a whole long list of requirements, such as not selling debt, that are derived from these basic prohibitions against interest taking and against excessive risk. So because of those specific rulings, they have to design the transactions in slightly different ways.

For example, rather than borrowing money to buy some goods, they'll have the bank buy the goods and then resell the goods to the customer, so the bank becomes involved as an owner at one stage of the transaction. That makes it lawful, from the Islamic perspective. Whereas if the bank lent the money to the customer, that's an interest-bearing loan, and that's not allowed. So they use slightly different routes, typically involving ownership of goods at some point, to achieve finance."

AFAICT if you need to modify the build configuration -changing optimization levels is one such things since optimizations can potentially break applications- you are expected to install (and hence, update) autotools as if you were a developer of the program/library.

But TBH my comment was more about the other build tools than autotools... Autotools have many issues and are way more complex than need to be, but i do not see a build tool that does exactly the same thing as autotools do, despite being so many tools out there.

In most countries I’ve visited, multilingual public signage was the norm, especially in tourist areas but often beyond, like in public transportation and such.

London signage is the most unilingual I’ve seen anywhere. In the US you will often see Spanish, and in Canada you sometimes see French but in the UK, nope, just English. I guess it makes sense... what other language would one put on UK signage?

I guess the point is that a person should not be discriminated based on things they don't control, like race, sex, gender etc.

But the trend being described here is exactly that. Affirmative action, curtailment of free speech etc. Even many diversity initiatives.

It doesn't matter if it discriminates positively, contrary to society's past regressive discrimination. This positive discrimination goes against liberal principles.

People and groups with strongly held beliefs are not the most affected by algorithms, as you are pointing out. Worst case scenario is that their echo chamber becomes less impenetrable or that they become even more extreme.

Algorithms does most damage to people not currently holding any strong beliefs about any given topic, but do have some wage leanings one way or another. These people can be swung and their views amplified and radicalized without much effort or financial input, as the film The Great Hack makes a good case for.

Google, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter (who all offers fine-grained ad targeting) can be weaponized to push "normal" people towards the extreme, and pit groups against each other and affect democratic processes in a big way. This was Cambridge Analytica's business model, and it worked really well.

I don’t think this is specific to Sharia law, those rules on lending is for Islam in general. I think giving away 30% of your income to the poor every year is one of the five pillars of Islam as well.
That piece is the equivalent of finding video surveillance of the accused inside a place that was physically burgled, showing them bagging up the actual items that were stolen and heading toward a room with an exit, not being able to recover video from the camera that's supposed to cover the exit, and saying “well, there's no video of them carrying the goods out, so there's no evidence that they actually stole them.”
That's the primary source, whether or not you like the interviewer, company he works for, what his ulterior motives are, etc. This is the interview where the question was asked and answered.

Inflation is like the metabolism of an economy. Money represents work done in the past. Inflation means that work done further in the past is worth less than more recently. So $10 today is worth less tomorrow. Some economies have a faster metabolism than others.

If I loan you $50, and ask for 10% interest, you must pay be $55. That $5 comes from somewhere. In a physical money economy, that literally means it comes out of someone's pocket in some way (starting a business etc.). You can imagine that if we have many many loans overlapping, over long periods, we might begin to have a money deficit.

To be honest, I don't have the proper expertise to explain it perfectly. But I hope that it gives an intuition.

I think you're misunderstanding the general complaint or maybe not the complaint but how general, rather than specific it is.

At the top of the thread someone says 'PGP has all this ancient cruft and also isn't good for email/email is maybe unsecurable anyway'. The PGP-enthusiast response to that is 'No problem! You see, PGP is so flexible, you can build anything out of it, including maybe an actually-secure system of some sort'.

This is a fundamentally inadequate response and we've realized it's inadequate and don't really design secure systems like that anymore. In fact, this class of concern has permeated almost all aspects of contemporary software systems design rather than being something narrowly limited to 'crypto algo agility is bad'. Here's an example/illustrative timeline that doesn't have anything to do with 'data at rest'.

1998 Netscape: Behold our cross-platform, cross-language super-toolkit for building super-extensible Enterprise Groupware apps. Also one of them is a web browser!

The entire democratic world should take this exact same approach toward China. Democratic nations have free markets and free trade agreements. If China wants to be an isolationist with their own internal economy and their own internal corporations, that is fine. But then they should not also be able to participate in global trade with other free market economies.

We're not emulating China, we're reciprocating their behavior exclusively with regard to China. We don't ban German, Japanese, Korean, or companies from other nations from operating in the US, do we? No.
So we just need to find one case they did to falsify this claim. And to do so we need whistle blowers. There are serious problems with intelligence agencies in democracies.
Well, in quite a lot of developed countries, the attitude to the US government has been deeply negative in parts of the population for a very long time.

I recall, probably in the 80's, an incident where the US government objected to a foreign aid organisation distributing food aid in the US on equal basis to the kind of food aid programs operated in third world countries.

Several European countries also refers to "American conditions" as a threat of chaos during political debates. E.g. I grew up in Norway, where the threat of "American conditions" was a common scare-tactic by the left to get people to oppose right wing policies. This was decades ago - the first threats of "American conditions dates back more than half a century.
First, let's get back to the very beginning: my first message gave an explanation to what was pure antagonizing of the "pro-nuclear" people, and I mentioned that it's based on physics (which it is).

You're stating a "he's right you're wrong" with an unsubstantiated singular paragraph while I've been giving dozens of elements of reflection over a half dozen posts. That's a bit rich, isn't it?

You want something to substantiate a decent amount of what I'm saying? Here's one part[1].

Here's a case for why nuclear is the actual bridge for renewables[2]. Here's why renewables can't save the planet[3]. Reasons for environmentalists to look at nuclear[4].

And if you happen to care enough to actually read full reports, the IPCC did a lot of work and it's always good to try to read their reports with an open mind to collate the data[5].

Have a good day.

> A moderately complex React/Vue/Svelte app will be much more energy efficient than a naive vanilla JS alternative because most frameworks to clever and hard things to reduce the amount of work that's done in order to increase performance, and a side effect of that is using less energy.

I would debate this, the black box abstraction provided by react, et al. would probably wipe out any performance benefit.

It's all in how you write the code. I've (as an end user) muddled through tons of slow react apps, and used some highly performance vanilla js (or just "framework-less") apps.

What I like from that exchange is that the question is framed "can you say" and answered, "we can say." Technically it's affirming the capacity to perform an action (of "saying") rather than affirming a statement of truth.

Chinese companies can operate in America as long as they follow American laws, likewise American companies can operate in China as long as they follow Chinese laws. Since America is a freer society that China, it follows that Chinese companies are more free to operate in America. The solution is obviously not to make America less free, but that's the path they've been going down for the past 20 years so no big surprise. If the American government were concerned about their citizens privacy they would have passed stricter privacy regulations and only then banned companies that didn't comply.
You can always reduce consumption. The plastic problem would not exist if we stopped using plastic. That doesn't seem tractable though so we'll probably find ways to enable us to continue consuming more plastic... but we can still try to consume less of the stuff.

Same with energy. You don't _need_ your house to be "always on," etc. Turn out the light when you leave the room. Etc.

We could similarly not expect the sites to be "always on," and "instantly available," ready to deliver the highest-fidelity content as quickly as possible.

Yes, that keeps people engaged. But maybe we don't need more engagement. Maybe we have enough engagement going around.

Let’s say a vaccine is safe — you still have to know if it’s actually effective. That’s one of the things measured in these trials. We can’t just say, whoops, and mail a new dose to everyone. So, the risk isn’t just the safety. It’s about not squandering the precious resources that have been pulled together to manufacture distribute untold numbers of doses of a vaccine.

This seems like a case of "hindsight is 20/20". There are tons of successful projects that had people saying things like this about them at the start. When it works, we call it bold risk-taking. But when it doesn't work, we feel like we always knew it wasn't going to work.

The way that would make sense, for that particular example, is to start the camera up when the user begins the interaction to open it. Like how https://instant.page/ works. If it takes 200ms to get the camera running, do it while the gesture to swipe over to the camera is in progress. It will take more than 200ms for the user to physically move.

Politicians don't notice until their supporters notice. There's really no way for a politician to turn around and say, "Hey, it turns out I just noticed that climate change is a real and bad thing, and we should do something about it." Politicians elected on a climate-change-is-a-hoax platform will continue to do so, crisis or no crisis.

For that matter, the climate-change-is-a-hoax politicians are doing equally well with COVID19-is-a-hoax.

That applies to only half the population in one country with about 4% of the world's population, but it's responsible for 25% of the greenhouse gas emissions (and 20% of the COVID19 deaths). The new data may nudge enough of them to cause a significant change in the outcome if an election, but it would at best be temporary since so many other things can nudge it back come the next election.

I don't see anybody taking climate change seriously who isn't already. It's just too effective as a political strategy.
That's a fantastic analogy that adds nothing meaningful to the discussion whatsoever.
Dude those bodega deli sandwiches in NYC are mostly shit. Cheap bagel, cheap bread, cheap meat. The only good thing is the "value for money" since you get basically an inch of meat, but the meat is the cheapest bottom of the shelf quality meat you can buy.

Trust me, I spent years getting those bodega sandwiches in New York and sure, when you're drunk they seem good, but it's not quality fare by any stretch of the imagination.
Exactly.

If I hypothetically ran an inefficient 500W dedicated server 24/7 for one 8760 hour year, and my electric utility produces 1 lbs of CO2 per kwh, that's about 2 tons of CO2 due to my programming habits per year.

Last year, I had a long commute and an inefficient vehicle. 1 gallon of gas produces 20 lbs of CO2, I got about 18 mpg, and drove 25,000 miles, mostly due to commuting, so my driving added 12.5 tons of CO2 to the atmosphere.

Instead of making my computing more efficient, I changed jobs and vehicles. Now I drive 2.5 miles to work, at 30 mpg, fill up maybe once a month instead of twice a week, and am much happier for it! If I spent extra time to do more efficient programming, I could have decimated my server's power bill, and could have saved almost 1.9 tons of CO2, but by spending that time looking for a better job and better commute, which were far more extreme, I saved about 10 tons of CO2 instead.
I Don’t Use Classes
This is one of these cases where the US appears to have borrowed concepts that existed in the British governmental system at the time of their independence (when this power still vested with the monarch in what was then England, AIUI), and then never got round to reforming them. Today, an individual having an unchecked pardon power is a bit of an anachronism, and very dangerous.

(If you want to be ultra-pedantic this power is still vested in the monarch, but they can't use it without the direction of the Home Secretary, who in turn is bound by convention to generally almost never use it, and certainly not purely of their own initiative.)

You most likely gave them your e-mail. Also often (in this industry, at least) online username can be gleaned from Facebook or LinkedIn URLs.

I would imagine that on a large enough scale, analysis of photo contents, timestamp, location, and correlation with any other FB/app activity at that given time/location can provide a ton of new data points to add to their behavior modeling algorithms.
