> Test and measurement supersedes intentional emission.

On what authority are you claiming this? The language LeifCarrotson quoted refers only to digital devices, and the language I quoted above says plainly that a digital device must be an unintentional radiator.

To be clear, I believe selling their dev board is fine, but it's fine in the same way that driving 60 mph in a 55 zone is fine. Anyone selling an intentional radiator dev board that could reasonably be considered to be a complete device in itself is taking a small risk of FCC action, especially if (as here) they're pushing the limits of "dev board". Note that the Raspberry Pi developers do seem to get certs.

Yes. Only thing it's missing is a high-level shader compiler, you have to write shader code in assembly (which honestly isn't too onerous for the graphical fidelity possible on the 3DS)
Who has the authority to identify which facts are not somebody's own? Can a fact be converted to an opinion by prefacing it with "I believe..."? Is an opinion forbidden if, like your own opinion here, it's stated in the form of a fact? What happens to people who published facts that later turn out to be wrong? Are the retrospectively punished? Are the people who denied those "facts" before they were disproven somehow compensated for having had their rights wrongly restricted? I don't think you've thought your idea through at all and are just grasping at an excuse to make your political belief sound authoritative.

Remember when people used to say America invaded Iraq so it could control the oil? That was counter to the official reason for the invasion so, according to your idea, they were not entitled to publish that. It was also not harmless self-expression because it could have altered public opinion about a war, which can have serious consequences.
At this point, I think learning how to manage a pandemic without destroying the economy is the only question we should care about.

Pandemics will keep showing up regardless of if they're engineered or natural. It may be a 100% antibiotic-resistant bacteria next time, or some weird prion thing no-one thought about before, or the T-virus, or whatever's floating in the atmosphere of Venus. Who knows.

If we learn to correct what we're doing right now, then even if this happens again from a completely novel threat vector we didn't anticipate, we can handle it quickly and effectively.
Can you point to any empirical basis like a study for that statement?

Here's a paper called "The Effects of Liberal Arts Experiences on Liberal Arts Outcomes" that seems to suggest otherwise. https://www.wabash.edu/news/docs/ASHE_LAE_proposal_2006.pdf
My point is that this what happens in real life. People will continue to engage in stuff that they want to engage in. Facebook doesn't force people to engage in anything.

I think it is far worse to attempt to condition people by showing them things *they wouldn't otherwise engage with". What is scarier, showing somebody something they want to engage in based on their past behaviour, or showing somebody something they wouldn't have otherwise seen if you hadn't gone out of your way to shove it down their throat?

People seem to want Facebook to make people more placid. Oh you have extreme views? Here's, let's condition that out of you by only showing you more moderate stuff. Oh you think x is bad? Let's not show you anything to do with x so that you'll hopefully forget about it and not engage with that part of your brain any more.

Like I've already said, this alternative is far more Orwellian and far more of a tool for social control, than simply optimising for engagement.
I agree that Rust is more suited to ECS than hierarchies. However, the choice is not between ECS or inheritance. The reason I say that the community is overly fixated on it is that many of the benefits attributed to ECS aren't unique to ECS.

Unless there are very significant differences that are noticeable to mass user base, the engine is not a relevant factor in browser market share. When chrome came charging in, Microsoft had let IE fall so far behind that even to my 74-year-old opa, chrome was noticeably better.

People largely don't choose firefox over non-degoogled chrome today. All browsers on iOS are reskinned safari with different accounts for synced bookmarks and tabs, and yet people choose to use different iOS browsers for various reasons, the browser's engine not among them.

It pains me to think about, but from a realpolitik perspective it makes zero sense for Mozilla not to slap an orange fox on chromium and call it a day,

That is a terrible analogy to apply here.

"In reality", these disgruntled Spotify employees will take to social media with hashtags, cancelling and other trite bullshit in an effort to make the company look in the worst possible light. You'll hear accusations of sexual assault done by the upper management to everyone from the janitorial staff all the way to some senior employee. All kinds of shit will come out of the woodwork. You'll find out the company is toxic, misogynistic and that it is a horrible place for people to work. You'll hear how some employees go home crying every night because they feel assaulted.

You're blind to the fact that anyone using the term "ally" in any of this is implicitly labeling anyone not with them an "enemy". This is warring language, and the whole thing is very tribal.

But yes, lets go with predatory lending.

I do not disagree with this. I wanted to point out an order of magnitude difference between science, and politics (of fear?).

We built nuclear power plants not because we needed electricity, but because we needed plutonium for the bomb. We went to the moon in part because "it is hard", but mainly as a way to stick it to the Russkies. We built space telescopes to spy on the "opponent". Yes, that did indeed kept the world in a balance for quite some time, amazingly, but imagine if we, collectively, were just a tad smarter and instead of this, directed our efforts to science.

Is Spotify a platform for intellectual curiosity and free speech?

On the matter of free speech, Spotify isn't a public square. Facebook isn't a public square. A masonic fraternity isn't a public square. One of the key things about public squares is that it's funded by public money and administered by public officials.

How are people so keen on asking private companies to behave like public institutions... without asking for the other critically healthy pillars of public funding and public administration? It's sad, but I think it's because in some ways, people have come to actually TRUST big corps to be more morally responsive and deliberative than their own government. As in, would you rather Facebook own your messages, or would you like to see what concept of digital town square the UK or the US government would produce?

I think battery-powered unintentional radiators can sometimes avoid testing, but battery-powered intentional radiators definitely don't. The statement about kits is also wrong, per pdabbadabba's comment below.

An intentional radiator module can get a module certification. In that case the final system still needs verification (the same kind of testing that an unintentional radiator gets), but doesn't need certification. When you see a label on the outer device that says "Contains FCC ID XXX-XXXX", that's the module's ID.

OpenPGP is used to secure everything from simple messages and email to authenticating OS updates for most servers today.

And for MOST of the places that it is used, it gets screwed up in some way that makes it not as secure as the people using it thought that it was.

Stop and think carefully about that statement. And repeat it to every person you meet who thinks that they are solving their problems with OpenPGP.

> Theoretically Julia is better for scientific computing, the only issue is its package ecosystem isn't as mature as Python's.

That's not a small issue. The ecosystem is probably the reason people choose NumPy over MATLAB, for example. NumPy is not inherently superior to MATLAB, and most academicians that adopted NumPy in the 2000's already had a MATLAB license, so cost was not a concern either.

Most of the price of JW is research and development anyway. It will not be 2x the price, it will be much less, so even if we ignore the possible scientific output, from a purely financial perspective two would be a bargain.

I just don't understand why we build one JW, and one Hubble, but we can afford 12 KHs and god know how many other spy telescopes...
Who gets to decide what is a detriment to society?

Going out on a limb here, but at one point everyone thought the world was flat. Preaching that the earth is actually round, was seen as a detriment to society. So much so that people got horrifically executed for it.

We don't know anything. So sensoring ideas because we don't like them, or they seem farfetched, is probably, a real detriment to society.

This is rather funny, because all the incentives are backwards. Joe Rogan used to be available on rss, and anyone could listen in any podcast player.

Now Spotify bought him out, limiting his reach and making him only available on spotify. If the employees succeed, Rogan will revert to rss and become....more widely available.

I am deeply opposed to Spotify’s efforts to close off the podcast ecosystem, so I hope the employees succeed.

This does highlight a change in what Spotify is trying to do. They’re attempting to become a podcast publisher, rather than an app with podcasts available. With music they’re merely a conduit for the most part.

(Not sure if Rogan has left rss yet, but this wouldn’t change the argument. He’s due to if he hasn’t)

great, but what's the point? That Sweden is doing better than about a third of the United States?

The original point being made is that it's apples to oranges to compare the U.S. as a country to another country that it dwarfs in every population metric if you're looking at how to shape public policy.

In other words : There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all solution for nation-wide policy making regarding a pandemic that fits every culture in the world.

I don't think that this surprises anyone.
The point is the OP's math assumed that everyone (ALL) who recovered from COVID-19 would test positive. What you're saying is that SOME people who have recovered could test positive.
Well, actually it did.

Some of the reasons are:

1) Most applications use very reliable databases as a store. Back in the day, programmers used to write their own one-off BTREE libraries, which stopped with msql/mysql, jet, dbm and sqlite.

(A holdover from that era is when interviewers asked you to roll your own sort algorithm, which you should almost never do for production apps.)

2) Some software is fuzzed.

3) Some software has managed memory.

4) Some software has tests.

There aren't really subsidies for TSMC here in Taiwan. I would say labor cost is relatively cheap (compared to western countries), and security is relatively high (compared to the Chinese ecosystem).

A big reason it happened here is probably more to do with how manufacturers started combating intellectual property theft decades ago. Firms who wanted to manufacture in China manufactured a few key components in Taiwan to maintain control over output, then shipped them to Guangzhou for final assembly.

I'm not sure there's a "secret sauce". It's more they quietly built a decade plus lead on their closest competitors when they were in the "less desirable market" (compared to Intel, AMD, and Nvidia), and there are huge barriers to entry, with little short-term incentive to DIY (vs. contract manufacturing).

TSMC is actually now Taiwan's single biggest energy consumer, using about 5% of the entire country's electrical supply.
Ask HN: Advice for Multiplayer Back End
Lately I've been yearning to make simple multiplayer Javascript games with as much ease as simple single player games, for the sake of prototyping with friends. I have a sneaking suspicion that for discrete (turns or timers) match-based games, you could have a Firebasey store synchronized between clients and an authoritative server built on top of web sockets, such that the programmer doesn't have to design a new protocol for every game. The reason I don't reach for Firebase immediately is partly due to lock-in/pricing concerns, and because I imagine there would be a simpler tool with the above constraints in mind.

I've stumbled across https://colyseus.io/, but it doesn't look like it quite fits my needs.

Does anyone know of a library out there with the mission of Colyseus, the behavior of Firebase, and simpler than both? Alternatively, has anyone had a pleasant experience building a discrete game with Firebase?

False. Renewables could get to 100% of the grid. A key is using hydrogen for the last 10% or so. This is not currently competitive with fossil fuel, but then neither is nuclear.

> Is Spotify a platform for intellectual curiosity and free speech?

Spotify wants to corner the market on popular podcasts. Of it’s very nature — anyone with anything or nothing to say can start one - podcasting might be the best modern example of free speech, and I believe podcasters know this. If they see Spotify as an entity that will require editorial modification or will refuse to post “certain episodes” then podcasters won’t make deals with them. This isn’t a political point, it’s a business point. If Spotify can’t achieve their goal of being THE SOURCE for the best podcasts which are exclusive to their platform then their shareholders will demand changes.
Normally I’d agree, but in this case Twitter abruptly ended the thread, hiding it behind a click to ask me if I wanted Covid-19 info and show me tangentially related content.

I won't say definitively that that never happened, but it certainly isn't something that there is any historical evidence I've ever heard of, and it sounds a lot like flat-earth mythology, possibly conflated with (exaggeration of) the actual heliocentrism controversy.
