> However, seawater concentrations of uranium are controlled by steady-state, or pseudo-equilibrium, chemical reactions between waters and rocks on the Earth, both in the ocean and on land. And those rocks contain 100 trillion tons of uranium. So whenever uranium is extracted from seawater, more is leached from rocks to replace it, to the same concentration. It is impossible for humans to extract enough uranium over the next billion years to lower the overall seawater concentrations of uranium, even if nuclear provided 100% of our energy and our species lasted a billion years.
Right, and how many distinct instruction set architectures did DOS 2.0 support? The fact that there are only 225k lines of assembly in the Linux kernel, across the 30 or so major architecture families Linux supports plus any number of variations within each family, is rather impressive. If you ported DOS 2.0 to one variant of each of those 30 architectures, assuming roughly equal code density, that would be over a million lines of assembly code altogether, for a far, far less capable system. That's considering only the OS core, not device drivers, which is reasonable since DOS 2.0 didn't really have any drivers worth speaking of by modern standards. Most of the real low-level I/O was handled by the BIOS.

I would assume that Play Store and Play Services would be part of Android Inc. in any breakup and thus Android would be profitable.
I'd say a good outcome for the company. Avoid the distraction of the vocal minority purposefully trying to create "scandals" to subvert the company's leadership.
"If Google is prevented from making a browser, then they could even move the focus of computing away from the web browser..."

If that ever happened, I think that would be a vast improvement. There is much more to the internet than just the web and a handful of ports used by browsers.

Internet advertising mainly lives on the web; it's maninly delivered through those ports opened for the web/apps.
I've never heard "quiet" used to describe a high signal to noise ratio before. I can't decide whether the tech writer thinks "noise" means "sound" in this context, or just came up with a clever title.

> People say all kinds of things in response to polling.

That's correct. The US is currently conducting a poll to decide most of the composition of its government (including some local and many national political positions) and as you claim, the voters will say "all kinds of things".

But the answers stick anyway. Even though they say "all kinds of things" you live in a democracy and those "all kinds of things" decides the rules. Now, given that I'd be trying to maybe get them to say smarter things, but if you prefer to just smirk about it I cannot stop you.
> Using tools like ENVY…

As many of us did.

What I had not previously considered was how the novelty of gui software and the vision may have overwhelmed more mundane concerns.

Seems like — even with the image, even with the ST80 language — there could have been a coarse separation into layers of functionality, and that would have been enough to address some of the practical concerns.

But that was mundane, not fun.

I don't think that's fair. If the law sets the limit at 30 days, there is no reason to do it sooner than 30 days. It is obviously a money-losing proposition to do it quickly, and the only reason it's an option at all is because of the law. I guess that makes it a reasonable compromise -- everyone is equally unhappy, but the world is a slightly better place.

The reality is that "30 days" translates to "someone will run a script manually once a month" whereas something like "100 milliseconds" would force you to have automation. It's a reasonable tradeoff for rare events. There is a lot less engineering effort required, and that makes it cheaper.
Sorry I wasn't very specific. It appears to be counting solar generation as coal generation, so the amount of co2 emissions is vastly inflated.
Very cool idea but data are seriously lacking, Germany shows 0% solar, and has largest installation of solar energy in Europe.

A larger monitor I can understand, but on a laptop, how can 4k resolution be visible if it's... too small to see?
This might be one of the easier tech breakups. Chromium is already open-source and buildable without Google infra, so doing the same for the close source code should be a lot easier than migrating a service outside of Google infra. Firefox has shown there's a viable business model. The relationship with Android and Chromebook would be weird, but it might just look like a licensing deal. There's also precedent in antitrust history. The main thing I'd look at in Chrome is how much Google's used it to give itself an unfair advantage. I'd say "some;" the aggressive sign-in, default search provider, oversized influence in the development if HTTP, CSS, and JS. I'd put the synergies somewhere between Amazon/Whole Foods and Google/Doubleclick.

About the "precedent" point: I wonder if the MS antitrust case slowed down the development of the web. The dot com crash and people still being on dialup didn't help, but the web wasn't really a usable platform until 2004, and even then, it became a lot less interesting when smartphones took over.
Right. But here the generated code is checked into the source tree and the code generator is kept proprietary, which is why it's sad and unmaintainable.
That is an iOS bug, not a Gmail bug.
Why would you check-in generated code and not the meta code?

> Eventually, the checked-in code gets changed.

Doesn't have to be. Especially with giant headers like in AMDGPU, it should be much easier to change the meta-code if there is a need to make modification in the generated code. Essentially you look at what needs to be changed, and work backwards to figure out what change in the meta-code will result in the same change in generated code.

I believe you might be referring to stuff like boilerplate code, the whole purpose of which is to be generated for further development. In which case I agree with you, but then boilerplate codes don't balloon the way AMDGPU header files did.
To the contrary, contact tracers in many countries have been having a lot of trouble getting people to give up the names of their contacts, or even to answer contact tracers.

"Privacy" is not an abstract generic concept. It is context and consequence dependent.

When "contact data" has the monetary and social value associated with a mandatory 14-day quarantine, people accurately consider restrictions on future movement, not privacy. Those who don't, quickly learn the hard way or from a friend. They don't need the word "privacy", only "don't do that again".

Funny, most programmers complain they don't have enough height. Me included.

Not that LG has any 40" oleds, the smallest i see (locally) is 55".
Sadly, if they tried your first suggestion, Spotify would almost certainly lock down developer access like Twitter has for their new API, requiring an application and manual approval.

Login/password and scraping is a more interesting alternative, but then Spotify would presumedly block any server-side scraping. Really, best option I can come up with is browser automation that is entirely client-side (whether a browser extension or maybe wrapping Puppeteer).
AIPAC is a huge lobbying organization in the US and the examples provided in that linked Wikipedia section show they've had a history of being accused as a foreign mouthpiece of Israel, yet nothing has ever been done about it w.r.t NARA.

On the other hand, if the US accuses IRGC of controlling all these websites but does nothing about the multi-billion dollar lobbying organization in the US that's had multiple high ranking officials demanding it register with NARA (and then later mysteriously dropping their demands), does that not strike you as a bit odd?
I don't think you can define scientific computing in a way that excludes quantum mechanics, molecular dynamics, fluid dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations... There are lots of long-running applications. We don't want them to be long-running, but it's not unusual for a run to take weeks and not unheard-of for it to take months.

"The problem is in the software (the driver) which you never can buy, only license under a long list of conditions which prohibit specific uses."

Has there been any news on exporting a lib to be used by an android app ? Last time i checked, it was still painful to generate jni bindings.

I’m dying to find a tech that would let me easily write a shared lib that targets web , android and ios, but so far everything seems very experimental wherever i look. Rust seemed to be the closest, but still a bit raw.
Perhaps not directly relevant to your point here, but thought it would be interesting to anyone following along.

Jacob Quinn (karbacca) also has a Julia package for integrating Julia into the Arrow ecosystem:

The examples of software you list aren't close to equivalent. They are all services and you can get banned from a service if you misbehave. But a piece of software such as a driver is not a service.
I think a good place to start would be to ask what bad/detrimental thing are you referring to when you say we'd lose "privacy" if we're on camera everywhere we go?

Then we can address each one. Otherwise I'm just shooting in the dark and playing argument bingo.
So, to give an example:

In manim, one could do something like this:

from manimlib.imports import *

class ReplacementTransformExhibit(Scene):
def construct(self):
square = Square().shift(LEFT)
circle = Circle().shift(RIGHT)
self.play(ReplacementTransform(square, circle))

To have a square morph to a circle. Currently in Javis, one could do something like this:

using Javis

astar(args...) = star(O, 50)
acirc(args...) = circle(Point(100,100), 50)

function ground(args...)
background("white")
sethue("black")
end

video = Video(500, 500)
javis(video, [
Action(1:100, ground),
Action(1:50, morph(astar, acirc)),
Action(51:100, morph(acirc, astar))
], creategif=true, tempdirectory="images",
pathname="star2circle.gif", deletetemp=true)

As you can see, Javis is, at this stage, a little more verbose. However, for v0.3.0 we are moving away from Action syntax to something more generic and user friendly (this shift based on user feedback).

A ton of headlines in the major media outlets told us the dangers of how long the virus lasts on surfaces (3 days, we were told) - back in March and April. People were seen (myself included) cleaning groceries for 45m before putting them away, leaving packages for a few days, and using gloves.

Later it was found that the media overreacted, by obsessing over studies which were done under very specific lab conditions. From an artifical lab condition to a major headline. It was just so tempting by the editorial staff of these outlets, never letting a good crisis go to waste.

Just because it's the BBC it can't be guilty of clickbait?
Greenpeace is actively opposed to nuclear. And then you have articles like https://www.citizen.org/article/nuclear-power-is-not-clean-o...

Yes, you should quit: the question is not "if" but "how".

Given the current situation, you might consider your runway carefully. In particular, counting on working through your notice period as a part of that runway isn't guaranteed.

You'll also need to make a decision about what you want your new job to be: a part-time role (perm or contract) makes for a much different job search than a full-time role. You might want to decide up front that you'll look for a part-time role exclusively for, say 2 months, and if you haven't found one by then, start chasing a full-time role as well. Similarly with contract vs. permanent roles.

My risk profile is a little different, but right now I think I'd be looking to have a little more than 4 months up my sleeve, especially given that it sounds like that's really just working through your notice period with reduced spend.

Get yourself several months of genuine, cash-in-the-bank runway, and you're much less exposed.
I still write all my projects in Pascal

Memory safety has become a modern buzzword, but Pascal had memory safe strings and arrays decades ago, based on automated reference counting. Now it also has other types that are not memory safe, but you do not have to use them. Everything would be much safer if all the C code was replaced by Pascal code. And Pascal is compiled to native code without GC, so it is also very fast

Just a late edit:

My favorite thing to watch on CRT displays is well produced SD programs. They look really good.

At the peak of SD, I had tuned a great Sony to near what a PVM can do. Watching DVD movies on that via RGB OR component in a dark room was a good experience. Huge dynamic range. The occasional trail from a bright entity in the program. Real black.

In many ways, many of us did not experience what was lost in the tech change. This revival makes sense in some ways.

Look at vinyl. It is a similar thing. The overall experience is really good. Gratifying.

Fact is, where there are limits, there is art. A great vinyl production is something I appreciate a lot. A similar one done digitally actually sounds better, but the art is not there.

The CRT is art. We had limits and the CRT bubbles up out of that just nailing it.

Only in a limited form e.g. exhaustion doctrine prevents you from restricting resale. If someone wants to resell their exclusive Ferrari, there's nothing Ferrari can legally do (though this'll probably get you blacklisted from ever receiving an exclusive vehicle).

In general, terms can't go against existing laws and have to be 'conscionable' to be enforceable (i.e. they can't be obviously 'unfair').

Commission Code Review
The size is impressive relative to other kernels. A line of kernel code is much more expensive to develop than a line of application code. Of course, size is not be best metric by which to judge a project; it's always better to have more capability with less code if you can manage it. For its size Linux supports quite a wide variety of architectures and add-on hardware. Also, a great deal of effort goes into keeping the kernel codebase maintainable, which is more likely to manifest as lines of code removed rather than added.
You are reacting on just one part of the directive, even though I just told you about you another part. Seriously? What's the point?
Keep in mind it's the same special status that allows the GPL to have the condition that you must release your source code if you distribute something that includes GPL code. So, "reversing" it would also reverse the GPL.
> A company's codebase is a liability, not an asset...

> your asset is the built artefact

Therefore, summarized, you mean that the sourcecode needed to generate the resulting <app/service/whatever> is a liability, but that the result can be an asset (if it does generate external revenue, or internally lowers costs ,etc..)?

I personally never thought about this kind of separation - interesting.

Agreed that breaking up a company horizontally into two competing companies creates competition between the two companies. Here we’re talking about breaking up Google vertically into two companies with a supplier-client relationship.

Which have been given out for decades to renewables projects that, unlike oil and gas, do not even produce any actual energy, but are just "research" that promises to produce something Real Soon Now and has been for decades.

None of those examples are equivalent. The hardware examples are where companies refuse to sell a product (so you never own the product to begin with) where as the EA example is where you’ve been kicked off online services (you still have the capability to play the game offline, you just can’t access their servers, but you don’t buy their servers when you buy the game) and the HN example is a termination of subscription. Neither of those examples demonstrate legal limitations to software usage with a product you own (though the EA one at least comes close from a superficial perspective).
