Yes, congestion control is based on New Reno. But I think there are some higher level pieces where Quic is more flexible, and which can lead to higher performance on lossy links. E.g. has the ability to repackage data that was assumed lost in previous datagrams, and combine it with new data - leading to less total transmitted data in that cases. It doesn't have to retransmit every packet in exactly the same fashion. Some Quic implementation make use of this ability - while others don't.

And it might also have a bit more flexibility when to retransmit (but I'm not an expert).

You're asking the right questions! Even a few PPM of the diamine left in the water is going to be an issue either due to toxicity or if non-toxic, water quality (i.e. taste and perception of potability).

The "switchable" chelating agent is pretty interesting, but I haven't been close enough to know if this is groundbreaking or just an advancement of an exiting phenomenon.

I might be a major cynic here, but my guess is that this is really cool science and like a lot of cool, basic science, the researchers need to find a practical use for it. That helps translate "cool basic science" into "existing new technology".

My PI did it when I was in graduate school - we always talked about our new molecules as being potential cancer treatments when really the focus was on the basic organic chemistry. It's a lot easier to win grants saying you're developing "new anti-cancer compounds" than being honest and saying your research is focused on the development of "novel chalcogen compounds that undergo pericyclic rearrangements to form strained heterocycles".

Perhaps this is a cynical view, but as someone who spent a thousands of hours in MS offices throughout the world, they could hit this target essentially overnight if they brought many of the vendor employees on staff as FTE's. Microsoft outsources an astonishing amount of their support roles to external companies and many (perhaps even most) of those employees are minorities. If MS brought some of those jobs in house and worked on creating opportunities for those employees to learn and advance their careers they I think they it could eventually yield some very positive results for all involved.
I think there is a misconception that landfill is bad because it used to actually be bad many decades ago. Now there is a lot of regulation around what is required to build a landfill site, and a lot more technical knowledge on how to do it safely. This is a pattern I see occasionally where folks learn something when they are young, and repeat it long past when it ceases to be true, never noticing that it has become a falsehood.

It’s a different issue in countries with less land (Japan being the most extreme one) where landfill is just too expensive because land is expensive. But the US has lots of unused and cheap land that nobody would notice if you added a well-run landfill to.

If you only care about encryption at rest, maybe just do filesystem encryption? Whether that's encfs or luks or ZFS encryption or whatever. (Caveat: some of these have very specific security properties that you may find inadequate (encfs is poor against an attacker who can see multiple versions of a file over time, IIRC), or efficiency issues with syncing (you're not gonna git commit a ZFS dataset))
I worked from home for 15 years and found it to be much more efficient than going into my office. The slower communication is a great benefit because people are forced to think before replying rather than just reacting. Tutoring students worked much better because they have your thoughts in writing rather than having to quickly takes notes or remember what you said. You now have a timestamped record of activities that you can refer back to. You can record a Zoom conference for those who were not able to attend or to create a video for disseminating new information.

I think that one of the main reasons some people, and some professions (like banking), prefer working in person is because it is less accountable without the written/recorded history.

That's no more a flaw than failing to explicitly say the car is valuable. I mean what if the car is a matchbox toy and the goats are worth more? That's not explicit either.

Sometimes you have to use common sense, and I think every instance of the monty hall problem I've seen was sufficiently explicit (without being absurd), and the confusion was always around the math and probability and never around semantics or trickery.

> Conversely, if laws have no meaning, what makes them think that the concept of free speech is protected by law? It's turtles all the way down.

Nothing. There are some aspects where US law is pretty well aligned with the principles of freedom of speech, and others where it isn't aligned at all. For example: A significant percentage of speech is carried out on social media, where US law does not require free speech to be enforced - but, according to the principles of freedom of expression, free speech is very valuable.

The OP is alluding to the fact that growing forests, cutting them down, and then burying the resulting paper should use less energy then recycling and produce less toxic waste products due to fewer chemicals. Such activity has a strong possibility of being a carbon negative process.

It may be better for the environment to sustainably harvest trees to produce cardboard then to recycle other paper products.
“Vast” is doing a lot of work here. 33,000 people have died, hundreds of thousands hospitalised in New York since the outbreak. We are still nowhere near here immunity levels. Are we willing to kill 10’s of thousands more so that we can return it indoor dining?

In America, the worse year of the opioid crisis killed ~65k people from my recollection. The "real pandemic" killed that many americans in the past 2 months. Am I misunderstanding something?

Edit: I cannot spell.
Of course they are smart people but they are also quite backwards when it comes to technology and I doubt they would take the time to learn the real differences between APIs, code, algorithm implementations vs theory, etc. They will probably try to use a car analogy in their final arguments and rulings.
Actually hitting the Sun is hard. It's not as simple as dropping it off and letting gravity make it "fall" like blue ice from an airplane. There's not only the matter of making it escape the Earth's gravity (which is considerable), but also that the Earth and all the garbage on it is already moving in an orbit around the Sun that you'd have to decelerate from. More likely we'd end up with a chain of trash comets.

I don’t know about the dynamics in NYC but in SF a lot of landlords can afford to keep commercial spaces vacant, and apartments emptied out. The opportunity cost in not leasing out can be made up for by holding out for tenants that will overpay on the commercial side, and rent control makes renting apartments out for too low a price unappealing on the residential side.

Kill both Prop 13 (entirely, not just sections of it) and rent control and you might see some normalcy return to the California property and rental market.
That simulates a different scenario than what’s being described here; it simulates a situation where we count the times when Monty picks the car. But those situations are irrelevant because they have no bearing on the fundamental question of whether or not to switch doors when Monty shows you a goat. Effectively, we discard all outcomes when Monty shows you the car, making it an identical “game” as when Monty simply does not ever choose the car.

As I said, the outcome per game will be different (since you suddenly have an additional opportunity to lose), but the math around whether or not to switch when shown a goat remains unchanged.
I've been using Swift for over 5 years now I think.. and I would say no. Outside of the Apple ecosystem the only thing that is really of interest right now is Vapor.

I don't necessarily disagree with the premise that isolation (and support for those in that isolation) should be directed at those at greater risk, especially when Covid has such a divergent risk profile based on age and other factors.

That said, my (relatively young) friends are classically trained musicians and ballet dancers. They are still screwed if their audience, which skews older, can't attend. This dynamic exists in lots of places, e.g. keeping kids home from school is extremely detrimental to their development, but what do you do for elderly teachers and professors?
Unfortunately, it really isn't. It's not common, but some people do get normally fatal cancers and recovery without treatment.

If you happen to test a new cancer drug on a case like that, you'd walk away thinking you had something when the drug really did nothing.

For something like Covid where the impact can range from nothing to death, a single case doesn't really tell you much about a treatment.

As someone who took a number of mathetical logic classes between undergrad/graduate I always found this Gödel-sentence argument on the face-laughable, since the logical inconsistency was so easy to repair.

I know it's easy to forget how much .. stuff .. there is in an imperative language. You have the side-effect in print, and if you replace that with appending a string you're going to invoke the weird and wonderful assignment operator.

It's easy to forget how strange these things (state and side effects) are once you have mastered them in your craft.

The reason I love functional style with immutable data is because it is so dead simple and easy on my tired brain.

It's not just the names, it's the structure as well. Oracle is implying that the structure (heirarchy) is also a signifier of the API. You can't actually get around that if you're trying to mirror an API but do a white room implementation of the underlying code. It would still be considered illegal if the SCOTUS decides for Oracle. You would still have to license or hope you didn't get found out.
I still say, let everyone make the decision for themselves. Many old people (the majority) that get COVID don't die, but recover. They can attend performances.

You Can Now Practice Machine Learning Skills on All-New MachineHack Platform
Not directly relevant to the article, but it's worth mentioning that these 2D (and crystalline) effects don't necessarily even require monoatomic layers.

In the early days of MEMS (when it was called micromachining) one of the first big development efforts was the TI Micromirrors (DLP) for large projectors, which used fairly standard semiconductor materials to actuate torsional mirrors to steer light. By applying electrostatic forces to a large array of mirror pixels with reasonable voltages to reflect a beam +/-20 deg at high frequency TI was able to do PWM of their light source over the array (and color with a wheel).

However, they chose Aluminum as their structural material. Any mechanical engineer is now having a heart attack, because modulating an Al hinge through % strain at MHz frequencies is a recipe for cracking and failure... BUT IT DIDN'T! The EEs who originally chose the process and structures got lucky... very lucky.

Some of this comes down to decent design and selection of materials, but fundamentally at table top size such a design would fail in 100s or 1000s of cycles. Why didn't it fail? Eventually (after production and sales) it was determined that due to the very thin and narrow supporting flexures (to keep forces and costs low) the crystal grain size was typically significantly larger than the hinge.

As a result there were not defect sites for dislocations to create cracks or hardening... effectively they were single crystal Al hinges in the area of high cyclic strain... most of the time except for the odd occasional pixel... but proper etching and annealing improved even that through process control. Why change what isn't broken?

You're absolutely right. I always thought of Subaru as a niche car maker appealing mostly to outdoorsy types who don't mind getting their hands dirty to do some maintenance on their car. I don't think they really put much effort into their interior aesthetics. Heck, until recently they weren't really making the best looking cars either. I drive a 2016 WRX and it's literally a box on wheels. There is barely any sound proofing, the audio quality is horrid, the interior is as plain as it gets and they're probably 5 years behind everyone else on innovation, but the car is just insanely solid and incredibly easy to maintain.
