> Watch the latest Triumph bit from the Colbert show to see the mentality of Trump supporters

Colbert has built a career upon exaggerating and editorializing politics. He is an entertainer and comedian, not an analyst. He is hardly a sound source for any real political insight.

> The "issues" are whatever you can use to trigger an emotional response from someone who is easily manipulated.

I think the same can be said about both political ideologies in the US. Emotional issues are far easier to get worked up about, even if there is no easy solution to the "issue" at hand.

To claim only 51% of the country falls into this category, and to imply it's only one political ideology, is disingenuous at best. Particularly when you lead your post with something a comedian said on a late night TV show, ie. the very same emotional appeal you rail against.
That’s clickbait. The article says performance is fine, but their hardware isn’t as good as newer phones, so the title should just say “performance is fine”, as the second part is neither surprising nor news.
> Participants in the “desk” condition left mostof their belongings in the lobby but took their phones into the testing room “for use in a later study;” once in the testing room, they were instructed to place their phones facedown in a designated location on their desks.

Yeah, color me skeptical. You're in a study currently, and you're asked to place your phone on your desk for a later study. This is quite different from just having your phone around, because you're basically thinking about 'phones' and 'studies' together while you're in the study.

That's very different from 'mere presence' in my mind.
I don't disagree. My main point is that at a bay area tech company, the cost is one-sided, which drives company policies and philosophies, all while endlessly preaching about diversity.

>In the case of married couples, the spouse has a moral obligation to satisfy the other sexually within moral and reasonable limits (i.e., sexual abuse or objectification of the other is never admissible).

I can't agree with those statements. No one, not your spouse, not your significant other and not anyone else is obliged to provide sexual satisfaction to you or anyone else.

What's more, while consent is never optional, pleasing one's partner should be a joy, and if your partner desires objectification or even what you (note that what you think and believe doesn't apply to everyone else) term "sexual abuse," that's between consenting adults.

Your judgement as to what is "moral" is an individual judgement that applies to you. There are more things (as well as kinks and fetishes) in earth and heaven than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

And just so it's crystal clear, consent is never optional and no one, regardless of relationship status is obligated to provide sexual satisfaction to anyone.

I'm not involved in firefighting, I just spend a lot of time with maps planning out hikes:

I find that paper maps are dramatically better for me than anything on a screen, simply because they can be so much bigger and higher resolution at the same time. It is far easier to get a feel for an area on a table-top sized map printed at high PPI than on my 4K 27" monitors.

As for rapidly tracking the fire perimeters: Despite what the original article says, this mapping process is already happening. You can see the very outlines updated daily, with lots of fine detail, on inciweb.
Vue and React are more than templating engines. They decouple the state and view of your application. This means your view becomes a function of state, and you only need to worry about state. This solves the problem of trying to keep your view in sync with the application state, which probably everyone who has done some webdev for more than 5 years still has nightmares about.

I’m definitely an outsider on this. However, Epic surely didn’t enter into this contract blindly; they had to have lawyered this thing backwards and forwards and accountancied it up and down. They’re not some small developer doing a gut-check before rolling over and taking one for the team.

From where I sit, it’s looking like they planned to do this for a long time, which leads to the possibility that they entered into the contract in bad faith.

As for undue influence, etc. - those are immeasurable terms. Ultimately, if you can’t trust what’s on the paper, what’s the point? I have yet to see a filing where Epic shows that Apple didn’t deliver what they said they would. I have seen the filing where Apple lays out what they did do for Epic.

I'm not sure it has to be IB. Alibaba (I think) use RoCE, which can have fairly respectable latency. Which ones do have IB apart from Azure, Oracle, and specialist HPC vendors?

But yes, when I last knew, EFA was still an order of magnitude worse latency than you expect for an HPC fabric, around the same as I got on 1G Ethernet a decade ago. Amazon assured us even the original networking was entirely suitable for HPC, and it took some work to get an admission that didn't include typical quantum chemistry, for instance. It actually claps out after three nodes on that sort of thing, though I didn't expect it to scale even that far. In contrast, Azure published figures for cp2k scaling (to >1k cores if I recall correctly).

Cui bono? This sets up the current president and spy agencies to approach US tech companies with both a carrot and a stick - look what 'America first' can do for you, and look what I can do to you if you get in my way.

This sort of erosion of due process and international law serves the current administration well (government by fiat is now the norm), but I don't think it serves the US itself well at all. We're about to discover just how resistant the US republic is to such attacks on free speech and the rule of law.

> $39.95 and $3995 are commonly pronounced exactly the same

To non-English speakers, it is common to read "$3995" as "thirty-nine ninety-five". It is very rare to say "three thousand and nine hundred and ninety-five dollars".

Usually one understands from context. "I paid just over fifteen for a used car", I would assume thousand... ...but it could be car collectors talking about spending 15 million.
It's interesting that this explanation gets aggressively downvoted every time it is posted. It's a narrative that someone seems to want to bury.

It is the explanation that best fits the facts, given that talk of banning TikTok didn't gain traction until after Trump's indoor rally turned up empty.

I suspect the empty rally was the tipping point that gave those who wanted to get rid of TikTok for competitive reasons enough of Trump's ear for him to go full banana republic and ban it.

Addendum: as expected, this post was downvoted. Say 'hi' to the RNC (and/or Putin) for me.
Absolutely. See https://reclaim.ai/daily-habits/ for an example of how this is executed elegantly.
I lack a lot of self-control in many areas of my life. Except when it comes to my smartphone which for me is a tool rather than an entertainment device. Most of my day the phone is in DnD/flipped over on the second desk in my office and not within arm's reach. I don't know how much having the device in the same room as me is a "cognitive capacity reducer" but for the most part, my smartphone is a forgotten device except for when I need to use it for something.

My needs in a smartphone are: Maps & navigation. Local business lookup. Bank account. Audible. Camera. Password manager. Calculator. Grocery shopping list. Recipe book for when at the grocery store. Authenticator. Uber. Check email. SMS. Occasional voice call.

All audible notifications except for alarms and calendar are disabled. All visual notifications are disabled except for SMS. I get conversation starter SMS messages once, maybe twice a month, at most. I don't even have games & apps that I worked on installed on my device. I just keep shortcuts to videos of them on the device in case I need to show them off.

I don't know if this is a normal behaviour for people that have smartphones. I do see an awful lot of people totally engrossed in their devices to the exclusion of all others. I also see, anecdotally, some people, software developer colleagues, who don't get anything more than a few minutes before the smartphone cheeps or chirps with a new notification or distraction.

I've actually thought about getting rid of my oh-so-delicate-dont-ever-drop-it smartphone and just going back to a flip phone, though I'd miss the camera. I take a lot of pictures of things for reference, e.g. disassembling a piece of electronics or a piece of furniture I want to copy.

Not American, but we have a similar situation here, just with less political extremism.

I think a part of this is that many of the issues that are important to techies are either unimportant to most voters, or the voters don't understand them enough for form a good opinion. When an representative is representing hundreds of thousands of people, it's not really surprising that they ignore feedback on issues that most people don't care about.

Balkanization might help, but many states have been doing the exact opposite of that for the last 200 years because there's a lot of benefit to having a common set of laws and unregulated trade & travel over a large region.
Photos and videos of someone and where they are is valuable for ads. The logo on the beer you're holding in your photo with your friends at the bar, the faces of those friends and what drinks they have, the geolocation information in the image metadata, the date and time the photo was taken, and so on. All of that is valuable data to Facebook, and they're operating at a scale that allows them to fully harvest and take advantage of all of that and more.

At Facebook's scale, even tiny, inconsequential data can be useful in aggregate.

The short flags are really there for when you're doing things interactively.

For scripts that are read and executed more often than they're written or changed, the long flags really help ensure you don't fat-finger.

I'm accustomed to typing `rm -rf` when really I just need `rm -r` in a lot of cases, and in PRs it's very easy for your eyes to glaze over when there's more than a single short flag.
To be honest I'm not trying to implement "bleeding edge" renderer, it would just take enormous amount of time which can be put into other more important parts (there are plenty of them).

Pretty much just to make sure you're not wasting your time with the gzip.

But I also don't use gzip much these days. pbzip2 is a drop in replacement that is faster and compresses better.
Since the reactivity api is exposed it's very easy to write a file to hold whatever state you want.

If TikTok sued the US government under this theory, the government might need to make the argument in court to defend the lawsuit. There’s no requirement for the government to preemptively make a showing in court before it does everything.
I honestly don't see these as a good sign for a browser as a tool, instead of some software development adventure.

Firefox has a much smaller team than Chrome to begin with, and they can only work on so many things. If they keep spending time in "re-inventing the wheel" (in addition to what you listed, they also revamp their mobile client quite a few times in my recent memory), what left behind is attention to details in UX and UI that users can feel, which is what Firefox was famous for.

I'm not a developer, but I've submitted or engaged in many bug tickets on Bugzilla. What I can tell from my experience is that the response to bugs (critical or not) are getting slower and slower. Not just patches, sometimes you will have tickets that took years to have someone even looking at it. My feeling is most of developers are more likely to spend their time on Mozilla's "big goals" than maintenance.

Just to give one example, there is still no full range video support in Firefox in the era of video game streaming. This alone lets me to have to use Chrome to watch Twitch.

What are your thoughts about the risks of not training your immune system with sub-infectious doses of the virus?

I usually take the opposite approach. If I have an opportunity to expose myself to sub-infectious doses, I go out of my way because I figure it's an opportunity for my immune system to build a more robust defense against the virus in case at some point I get exposed to an infectious dose.

I figure the tiny amounts of virus that may be present on my groceries provide a wonderful classroom environment for my T and B cells.

Well, yes, I am convinced it's the correct decision, and by extension I do believe that people who disagree are at best misguided, and at worst are actively invested in perpetuating systemic inequality.

I'll agree that git's use of "master" is not as egregious as "master/slave" in database terminology, but it's still not great.

There are two prevailing uses of the term "master". One refers to the quality of being exceptionally good at a particular skill. By and large, I don't think most people have a problem uses of "master" where that's the intended meaning. But "master" in the sense of "leader" or "controlling" isn't great, even if (in the case of git's "master" naming) there isn't a corresponding "slave" role.

> if you try to point this out and discuss it at a company like Github (or mine) where the group making these decisions is convinced of their correctness you risk ostracization and career suicide

I agree that this is bad. These sorts of responses have a chilling effect on reasonable conversations and discussion. But in some ways I do understand why this happens; people who are directly affected by terminology like this are getting really tired of having the same conversations over and over about something that evokes significant emotional pain every time it's brought up. Again, it's not great, but I think it's understandable. And it's frankly hard to understand why using a word like "master" in technical terminology is somehow so important that it's even worth getting into repetitive discussion after discussion about it, especially when doing so causes some people pain. That's where the concerns about empathy and compassion come into play, because the people who constantly fight against this change do not seem to be even trying to look at this from someone else's point of view. (And I say this as someone who initially was resistant to these changes, but have since realized that I was wrong to do so.)
I agree on monoculture, the point is it does appear to fail (and the Cisco usNIC offering looked better). There are alternative HPC fabrics in new hardware: OPA (although being canned by Intel), Shasta (Cray), BXI (Bull), and Tofu (Fujitsu), at least, and surely AWS could build their own if they wanted.

I don't know whether Oracle still have their own IB, which might be in their cloud if you want to get involved with Oracle.

Edit: Fix Cisco fabric name, add OPA.
