The use for multi core at performance is rare, I'm potentially writing a program for the first time in my life that uses parallel processing. The goal is to run this program a few times a year. No one would be buying a processor for me. They buy a computer for CAD guys, video card priority, ram, etc...

And the event that you are doing large scale performance computing, was Intel a monopoly there?
It uses standard transport encryption for all communication. End to End encryption is available for direct messages. It isn't used for groups, where real E2E is very difficult and complex and AFAIK nobody does it well, and channels, where it doesn't seem to have much point.
No, sadly I do not.

> Qualcomm would have faced serious challenges keeping up with these hypothetical Intel ARM processors back in the early 2010s

Qualcomm's success on mobile market has nothing to do with their processors but everything to do with them exploiting their "FRAND" patents.
I think the Trump administration wants to show how trivially he overcomes the disease in order to support his message of, “This is just a flu”. Also he tends to want to project how strong he is.
Both were required to turn AMD around. Less competent leadership would have squandered the opportunity that Keller gave the company.
I'll try explaining this one and maybe why you're being downvoted.

The difference is that buckling down and focusing... Don't always work for me. That's the fundamental difference that normal people don't get. That rather simple thing is basically the problem.

I'm pretty good at "adulting" and otherwise coping with my life but I hit roadblocks that other people sail by. I can do very complicated, difficult and tedious tasks but sometimes get stuck doing simple things like paying a parking ticket. I know how to do it. I know when it's due. I know I'll pay a penalty if I pay it late. I think about it all the time. But doing it is like lifting an incredibly heavy weight. Normal people don't feel the weight and think I'm lazy.
This is one thing that always perplexes me, so since you seem to be one of the people that are concerned by this I ask you why? What do you believe china will do with the info gleaned from TikTok data?

Personally I am more afraid of my own government than I am of china, See my government has the power to put me in a cage, or even kill me if I defy them. They have a the power to unilaterally declare an "emergency" to put me under house arrest, they have the power to close my business at will....

If china attempted to any of these things to me here in the US that would be an act of war, but when my own government does it that is perfectly acceptable and even endorsed by the courts of this land

So why pray tell do believe China is the threat?
What does bilingualism correlate with?
Are immigrants and their children likely to be richer, eat better, etc?
I cant find the episode now, but a few years ago an episode CBC's science show Quirks and Quarks interviewed a researcher that found being bilingual seemed to delay the onset of dementia by a couple of years. Although it doesnt sound like much, from a public policy pov, its pretty significant when you look at what that can mean for quality of life as well as costs for our public health system.
Trust noone. Not even yourself.
You're welcome. Sadly, this is likely my last reply to your post. You've dug down to the limits of my knowledge. Hopefully this will send you on your way to illumination.

> My question is what law they would violate?

There isn't one. 'Abusive Advertising' (in quotes because it's not literal abuse, only annoying) is still completely legal and will be for the conceivable future as it's not actually assault or battery as those are covered under law and would be very poor advertising techniques.

> You mention the possibility of "closing youtube". What if the television were "impossible" to close, had a battery long enough to punish you for a month even if you unplug it, and just would not stop playing an inconvenience noise until you did what it asked?

Then people would throw them out, destroyed. The cost of creating an indistructable tv for advertizing doesn't make economic sense. Manufacturers and Advertisers want to make as much money as possible so they make things cheaply. Cheaply made things are easy to destroy.

Imagining technology that doesn't exist is future telling and science fiction. And that's the realm of literature. If you're looking to write this into a story of yours you'll want to check out :

> What law would a consumer device violate that the user couldn't practically open or disable... until the user bought...

I'm pretty sure no such law exists, nor is there any process to enforce such behaviour nor test if it had occurred. It would require such a totalitarian state that there'd be no money for such a thing. Totalitarian states tend to be rather poor as they have chased away (or killed) their smart and/or productive people and left the powerful economic engine of freedom to cool and decay.

Dude. You seem very motivated, but also naive about the subjects you're questioning namely: human behaviour, marketing, advertisement, and consumer protection law. Which is fine, we can't learn unless we question what we know and don't know.

To satisfy your curiosity (if you're looking for practical knowledge, not just writing fiction) you'll want to do some work yourself ...

(the time lines are just guesses depending on the density of research necessary to understand the subject)

1) Talk to a one or many consumer protection lawyer/s about these questions of yours. Finding one that will humour you might be an adventure. (2+ hours?)

2) Do some research into the history of advertising. Maybe start with biographies of couple famous advertisers or marketing gurus. (16+ hours of research)

3) Do some research into the history of consumer affairs laws. (4+ hours of research)

And last, but not least...

4) Do some research into human behaviour (at least 100+ hours of work). A couple fantastic authors are: Robert Sapolsky, Jordan Peterson, Dan Ariely. They all have several books about the subject and LOTS of youtube lectures.

I wish you the best of luck on your pursuit of knowledge!

This article was quite the interesting read for me! I grew up in Ayrshire, and knew well of the ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) plant at Ardeer. My maternal grandfathed worked there until retirement, involved in some aspect of the acid mixing and nitroglycerine production (erroneously named by others in my family as 'nitrous'). During World War 2, he was denied release to join the British Army due to being designated "essential to the war effort" as part of the chain to create high explosives. Sadly, he died when I was too young to really be interested in the intricacies of his work. Thus, I was unable to ask him questions about it. I wished others had had the interest in it I have now, so many years later.

While of no relevance to this article or these comments... my memories of my Grandfather are all of a kind, mostly self-educated man, who was denied accepting a full university scholarship - despite pleading from the local Headmaster to his own father - due to his alcoholic father requiring him to go to work and earn money to be able to sustain his 8 younger siblings. He loved his Wife and Daughter, reading Omar Khayyam, watching horse-racing, had a legendary reluctance to accept gifts from anyone lest it put them at a financial disadvantage for having thus done so, and as my Mother told me - always took 2 sandwiches to work with him for over 30 years for his nightly "lunch"; one with cheese, and one with jam.

I mention about him in such manner, as there will likely never be another time that I will find reason to immortalize him online in some small measure of remembrance. And... it made me miss him.

>Because the US govt can be trusted but the Chinese govt can't. America is a liberal democracy seeking world peace.

A democracy still has the full capacity to do the worst damage to foreign countries for their national interests. We know that all the way back to the Athenian Democracy. It's "democracy at home, fuck the others to advance our well-being abroad".

The US had bombed, invaded, toppled governments, supported dictatorships, etc. countries all over the world, not sure where it got the moral upper hand.

Heck, using the name "HenryKissinger" as if it's a good thing, says it all. If it's irony, then, well, you already know my point.

>For the record, I have a college degree, I'm in my late twenties, I was raised in a liberal household, I'm a liberal, I have no religious beliefs, and I'm voting for Joe Biden.

Which means squat. Democrats have been as bad, if not worse, offenders as Republicans when it comes to foreign wars and furthering US interests.
Similar experience here. As a kid I couldn't manage to read a couple paragraphs on a boring subject but I could study and practice programming for 12 hours straight. Developed plenty of coping mechanisms and was only diagnosed in adulthood halfway into medical school. Every ADHD patient I've seen has a similar story of hyperattention...

I'm convinced this disorder is named after attention and hyperactivity because the children don't adapt well to school. At least not the traditional mass education model where kids sit in a class listening to lectures all day. There's probably a lot more we don't know about it. Some doctors I've seen think it's a made up illness created to sell amphetamines.

Those who are bilingual, yes.
The actual number is not used on SO and moreover most of those numbers should be obscolete in 2020.
This is why they chose Barcelona, where the use of 2 languages (Catalan and Spanish) was "highly variable" and everyone in the city spoke or at least understood 2 languages:

"We wanted to take advantage of this variability, and instead of comparing monolingual and bilingual people, we looked at whether in Barcelona – where everyone is more or less bilingual – there was a certain degree of bilingualism that had neuroprotective benefits."
Thanks.

I agree that having some knowledge is beneficial and, I guess, the more the better. Does that knowledge really look good on paper, to future employers though? I’ve recruited my fair share of people in the past and, anecdotal data notwithstanding, it’s not something that comes up much. We’d be far more interested in the skills required, as — as I say — the engineering and science cohorts within the team are orthogonal; we don’t really interact (if anything it’s the engineers helping them, rather than the other way around). I do agree with you in the general case, though.
That is exactly what I mean. So you used the best available one! And so will many people. The case you are describing normally happens when the previous one has been there for a while, and the new one is, well, new.

Many people will do like you, and find the new one more useful, and add their stars, and write articles, so over time it'll also become popular.

There’s a pretty good reason, actually, and it’s exactly npm.

Because dependencies are managed so easily in Node, it makes no sense for Node core developers to implement more and more of the ever-expanding APIs offered by the browser. They’re better off spending that time tightening the system and perhaps offering low-level interfaces.
Right. Which is exactly the problem. There isn’t a single one of the president’s physicians that I’d trust right now after the last few days. I had hoped that staff MDs at Walter Reed would be able to provide a decent patient report in the form of “admitted at xxxx hour, administered remdisivr at yyyy hour”
But they’ve proven they can’t even manage that.

I wonder if knowing one language delays the onset of dementia by X.
then being bilingual delays dementia by X/2.
then being trilingual delays dementia by X/3.
and so on ...
As this article shows, that may not be possible in all cases
There would need to be research done, nothing has been said if these people were all immigrants to Barcelona or the wages they were on, my guess is they are probably not truly random and replication will be difficult if we chose say bilingual in Wales, for example.
Almost everyone is bilingual in Barcelona. They teach Catalan and Spanish at school, and both are spoken by the general population. How did they get non-bilingual people there?
Im curious about it, how is it the same? Is there a racial basis to caste?
My (superficial) undrerstandimg of it is that it's more of a discrimination based on social class (classism) rather than a discrimination based on race (racism). Were dalits, for example, part of a racial minority when this all started?
Ok, I'll try to jump in here.

a) There are downsides to coffee. I know of a clinical neurologist (Steve Novella) who, when working with a patient with chronic headaches, will always ask "how much coffee do you drink." Always remember, if a "medicine" is doing good, it will have side effects. Period. Note that homeopaths simply love going on about how homeopathy doesn't have any side effects - spoiler, that's because it's not actually doing anything at a physical level.

b) Yes, daily use of stimulants in people with ADHD has been show to be pretty much ok. In fact, there are studies showing that kids who are not medicated are more likely to end up as substance abusers, largely because they're self medicating (remember, drug abuse is a symptom++). However, the kids who were treated with stimulants? No more risk than their neuro-typical peers.

c) The above says NOTHING WHATSOEVER about neuro-typicals taking it daily.

It's a very hard language with a complex written form. There are likely hard upper bounds to its worldwide popularity.

Look at Russian. Even when the USSR was the most fashionable country on Earth, when Western intelligentsia (eh) was massively convinced that Russians were showing us the future, people were not queuing up to learn Russian. Often Russian intellectuals had to speak another language to communicate with the "outside" (when they were allowed to). It was simply too different in its alphabet, too complicated. The same happened with Japanese, despite Japan being a massive economic and cultural power for more than 40 years. Japanese is occasionally fashionable but it will never be a lingua franca.

English might not be the easiest language in the world or the most regular, but it's definitely easier than any Asian language featuring complex glyphs. Its pronounciation rules are relatively easy. Its lineage is markedly European, which keeps it close to French and Spanish and makes it easier to piggyback on their own spread. Even if it were to lose its importance tomorrow, should the US self-nuke or something, chances are that its replacement would still be based on the Latin alphabet. That's what is used in South America, Australia, Europe, and large parts of Africa, regardless of whether they speak English, Spanish, French... So that's what will likely continue to be entrenched, one way or the other. Chinese will grow in importance for sure, particularly in Asia, but it will never be "the" global language.
"will dig in their heels for every inch they're dragged" - if you owned your own business, would you be welcoming regulation that reduced your chances of survival? So this is clearly written by someone who doesn't run their own business. Fair enough - there are always going to be many more people who receive salaries than those who pay them.

"Hobbling these corporations would help" - same as above, zero empathy for people who are trying to pay your salary. Fair enough - it sucks to work hard and watch your employer get rich off of your work.
Fun fact, lingua franca actually refers to a frankish-arab trading pidgin.

Back on point, that will take time, and it will follow china becoming dominant rather than leading to it. Also, Europeans learning French is a fairly easy lift compared to Americans learning Chinese.
> Forests burn with regularity

Some do, some don't. California isn't the whole world.

Edit:

> Wildfires are among the most common forms of natural disaster in some regions, including Siberia, California, and Australia.[17][18][19] Areas with Mediterranean climates or in the taiga biome are particularly susceptible.

California and Australia are outliers. Writing off forests in general just because particular sorts of forests are prone to burning doesn't make sense.
We already have a solution to the too many people problem. It is called inflation. Inflation rewards future economic activity. It means you can't sit on your savings. You have to keep working for yourself or let someone else work by investing your money.
It would also require a different type of design flexibility.

The mainstream Intel CPU line is relatively limited in variations. Yeah, we have different core counts and presence of SMT or iGPU, but you can get there with basically a single die design, or a small family of them, and blowing some fuses after binning.

Mobile SoCs tended to be a lot more bespoke. The same basic CPU block might need to e paired with different modems, and physical space and production costs probably don't accommodate doing the "low-end by fusing off bits of big higher-end chips" model.

As I understand it, Intel wasn't fond of that sort of product diversity-- the Atom they developed for mobile devices was much more a take-it-or-leave-it proposition.

I also suspect the concept of being an external single source was unappetizing for buyers. Samsung has the choice of buying Snapdragons or making their own Exynos parts; low end manufacturers can cross-shop MediaTek or Allwinner. If you're too reliant on a uniquely Intel design, what happens if they have a production kink and you have a million phones awaiting processors?

Thanks.

Our/my setup is very much the latter of your scenarios: I have the tech skills, so they’d like me to increase the science skills. I believe you’re right that the reason for this is because the manager wants to move in that direction. That brings me back to my apprehensions — in the sense that it’s leaked information that suggests engineering is not as highly valued — and therefore, whether in fact it’s time to move on...
N = 266 isn't really that bad at all
Exactly. Monarchies and dictatorships like you say always inevitably implode because no matter how great the current person in power is, there's nothing you can do to guarantee the quality of their successors.

And it's precisely because no system of checks and balances exist that ensures once you roll badly on a succession, that whoever ends up gaining control is able to so quickly destroy whatever has previously been built up.

The only way to truly ensure long term growth and stability, is to build up a robust system, independent of any individual, that has checks and balances set in place.

Don't do anything else until you fix this. I think the piece of advice that might do you the most good is:

I am somewhat confused by what the author is suggesting here. "Best" is a highly subjective term in this case. Also, the media described as "the best" was also once new.

There was a day before Star Trek:TNG came out, and then the next day it premiered. By the author's own reasoning he or she wouldn't have watched "the best tv show ever made" until after the invention of IMDB and its listing there.

I personally enjoy watching new content because it's a bit like real-time anthropology. The media we create and consume says something about the society that forms the context around its creation and consumption.

I suppose not everybody feels this way, and that's fine. I don't really have any desire to tell people what or what not to watch or listen to. This blog post being so sure of its content is a bit... odd.

For example, using the term "best album" over "the album I enjoyed the most" kind of indicates a surety that feels somewhat like they're talking down to you. I guess my question here is "Why?"
Jankotek/mapdb: Concurrent Maps, Sets and Queues backed by disk or memory
The least cynical, to the point of rose-colored glasses, explanation is trying to avoid panic and exploitation by external enemies.

Avoiding appearance of weakness and similar political-image based concerns, especially given the President’s past minimization of the risk from the virus, is also a credible explanation.
This article doesn’t even go into the timeline issue.

The world learned Trump had it late Thursday night. 36 hours later, Conley said he’d been diagnosed 72 hours earlier, which would’ve been the morning after the debate. Another doctor said Trump had been on a certain treatment for 48 hours, which would have been Thursday morning.

They issued a statement hours later correcting the timeline, but the statement was unsigned and riddled with errors.

Since Trump did a bunch of fundraising and meeting with people (not to mention attending the debate!) this week it’s pretty important to be sure about the timeline. It’s sounding like the original timeline is correct based on stuff the press has discovered but it’s such a mess.

It also seems like the only reason we know ANY of this is because someone leaked to the press that Hope Hicks, Trump's top aide, had COVID. The White House STILL hasn't even taken the simple measure of emailing its employees, or people working on the campaign- Chris Christie, who was just diagnosed, learned that he needed to get tested from the news.

Does your head tingle when you learn something cool?
I bought a 12 core 3900X. Outside of the very narrow domain of professional tools I built it for, I'd have been better served with a quad core desktop Tiger Lake.

Most things aren't strictly single core any more and you're running multiple apps, but after you pass two cores with HT you've already soaked up most of that extra parallelism for everyday tasks.

Considering you can get a workstation with 64 cores and 16 is now high end consumer, the single core performance bottleneck is real.

Chrome might spawn a bunch of processes but they aggressively sleep all but your active tabs.
