It is really just not only that. Though is seen a good among some people even if results are not superior. You can't be widely incompetent, but beyond that there is a lot of subjectivity.

The actual competitive level will hurt either way, but the abuse itself is not actually raising performance.

If you look at Larry Nassar scandal, he did not had superior measurable results. He just created aura of superiority around him. Altrought he was not framing himself as tough, he pretended to be gentle doctor.
Without E2EE, the server can directly access and manage how the video and audio streams are sent to each client. It can downgrade video for participants who are struggling, prioritize throughput of audio data for certain clients, prioritize higher res video only for the user who's currently speaking, drop individual frames for clients that are getting behind, etc etc.

With E2EE, by definition, the server becomes a dumb relay, and all control moves into the clients. Depending on how E2EE is implemented, you then lose the ability to do some or all of these optimizations.

There are potential workarounds, but each comes with further tradeoffs in turn, in performance, privacy & complexity. That's not to say that it's completely impossible to optimize given E2EE, as you can move many optimizations to each client, or try to have clients expose just enough data for servers to optimize traffic without being able to read the contents (e.g. by splitting the audio & video streams so the server can manage them independently, or having each client upload separate high & low res video of their own video stream). It definitely makes many optimizations dramatically harder though, creates some serious engineering problems, and in practice rules out some optimizations completely.
You can even do a Spotify "Liked Songs" to the same account of Spotify as playlist, and then you can finally share the Liked Songs as a playlist to your friends :)

The ISS has a lot of doohickeys hanging off it, so the cross section is going to be much larger than if the ISS was condensed into a sphere or cube. The ISS is also a lot less dense than most satellites, so even if the drag were the same it would have more of an impact
Makes sense. You should integrate TailScale too, so you don't need to shunt traffic through the boundary nodes
> which may have its own behaviour problems

But those are easy to find. This is why double-entry bookkeeping is the accounting standard: it's easy to add incorrectly once. It's much less common to add incorrectly the exact same way twice.
It's not that rare.

I was talking less about people who are Facebook employees and more about people who are Accenture / Cognizant / Infosys / etc employees or contractors, who get subcontracted to do work at Facebook or wherever else. They just have to convince a fresh college grad or visa applicant to sign say a 2-year contract, and that person may not realize quite what they're signing until they're put on a project

Edit: I wasn't trying to disagree with you if it sounded like I was. I meant this as "in addition to what you said" not "instead of what you said"
"Not the norm" is a cop-out. Is it the average person's experience? No, and nobody says that it is. The BBC article doesn't say that the average voter needs to wait for hours. But many voters do.
I thought the TRS-80 line was 6809 and 8085. Are one of those a cousin to the Z-80, or were there TRS-80's with a real Z-80 in them?
Yeah but they still linked it in the article "If you wish to migrate out of Spotify, you can move to the following music services...And if you’re still deciding which music provider to choose, take a look at our comparison of the best streaming platforms in 2020." The last sentence is linked to that article that says Spotify is their #1 choice.
Honestly, I know they hired a good team to do it and stand to lose everything if they didn't implement it properly... but they lied about it once and that was so brazen that I won't believe it until it's confirmed by at least a few independent experts. Zoom, in my mind, is synonymous with invaded privacy, poor security and lies.
Practically everything that Snowden leaked turned out to be true. I would not call that bullshit.
Hmmm. That sounds very reasonable. Probably my Arch setup doesn't make it any better.
What if they don't want treatment? What if they flat out reject it? What if they refuse help? What if part of their mental illness is a form of extreme paranoia that prevents them from accepting help, especially when it comes from those in positions of supposed authority? This is one of my family members. There is no amount of help that anyone can give this person other than cash donations that they will accept because _they do not want to "get better"_.
> For each of these, there are multiple vendors to choose from, except for standalone devices. In this case, the Oculus Quest is unique. There's no other competition.

The only VR headsets I've seen so far in stores around here (a major metropolitan city) are headsets with only the lenses, in which you slot your own smartphone as the screen and CPU. Wouldn't these also count as standalone devices in your classification?
Good points. I think a way of looking at it is that much of software development we do today is about communication, not engineering. Think of web-sites they are all about communicating something. And in a sense when you write a program you do so to communicate with the computer.

Of course there are critical software engineering projects as well, Boeing MAX comes to mind.
I have an Audi S5 and SQ5 sitting in the garage. Among the least reliable cars I've owned in the past 30 years. Numerous trips to service for electrical and accessory issues with both vehicles. I'm getting both of them ready to sell.

My brother had to replace a blown engine in his VW. My sister in law broke down 3-4 times with electrical issues with her VW until she sold it.

'Politically-motivated violence waged against civilians in violation of the law' (excluding situations of organized war) is the most likely the least controversial definition of terrorism.

I'm curious why you appear to imply this definition of terrorism is unsuitable.
Cute, an Apple themed Google Home. Is it still the case that Spotify won’t work with it? Because that really makes the device worthless to me and many others like me.
Google's distroless containers are an interesting approach for both security and performance as well, albeit with limited language support: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless
The VDP's Mode 4 was the secret sauce; it made the SMS graphics almost on-par with the NES. You still have 8x8 tiles, but with a single 16-color palette instead of four different 3-color palettes. For scrolling, the NES has 2-4 screen buffers, but the SMS just lets you hide one single row and column of tiles offscreen. This isn't as bad as it sounds since -- on SMS you can write to VRAM at any time during the frame, as opposed to NES where you can only write during vertical blank.

I've ported a simple NES game written in C to the SMS (https://8bitworkshop.com/projects/?n=sms-sms-libcv/chase) and I think it'd be feasible to write a translation layer between the two platforms. Sound might be a little tricky, since NES's APU is more advanced.
Showtime seems like the worst for this. Maybe Netflix is becoming the anti-Showtime. I've joked before that I wish I could pay half price for a Showtime subscription that only had the first half of each series.

When I was a teen it would have been very hard. Basically nothing but TV and a landline (and calls "aren't free" as per my parents).

But, as a parent myself now, I can see that my children have stayed in contact with their friends almost continuously with text messaging and audio and video calls. I think that technology has been a tremendous help.

Even school continued remotely on its normal schedule. As others have mentioned, this also allowed more pupils to sleep until later in the morning, which was probably a good thing as well, though obviously the level of physical exercise plummeted.
the second sentence does not support the last one. The last one is independent and known as the anthroposophic principle. I.e. even if it was extremely unlikely by some measure, it still happened. Whereas there's no indication whether 10e24 stars were a number far past the goal post, or relevant at all on your back of the envelope.

It rather seems that you (and the 4500-6000°C comment) were commiting to a fallacy of large numbers. You might as well write a friggin' fantastillion, unimaginable, zomg!, and you wojld still convince roughly the same gaillion number of people. But it's good to hear the details.

4000-6000 doesn't sound much at all in years for me for example, but it used to.
> Consider that a typical suburban U.S. high school might have 10,000+ kids

Not only is that not typical, there seems to be no US in-person high school in the US that has 10,000+ kids (there are a few online/distance-learning high schools that big or bigger.) It looks like the largest in-person is Brooklyn Technical High School, which has ~6,000.

These unnecessary proprietary networks/solutions keep trying to convince us to stop using them, and let them be irrelevant. I say we listen to them.
Actually we're getting increasing evidence that there are two different disorders/diseases here.

1. is the low grade TBI(traumatic brain injury) that is fairly called "Shell shock"
2. is the psychological weight of traumatic experiences

The evidence is pretty strong that part of why soldiers PTSD is so hard to treat(not that PTSD is easy to treat in general) is that their neurons have been damaged so it's literally more difficult for them to learn new stress responses and make use of CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to manage their inappropriate, for civilian life, stress responses.

First room-temperature superconductor reported
Yep. That's why I think energy to fuel is potentially a better solution. It will also be a good fit for solar power, as you can just make then stockpile the fuel when the sun is out. For the UK though, I think most fuel would then be imported from sunny places.

I'm not sure that the UK will increase it's grid capacity enough to get all cars electric in the next 10 or 15 years. I have a feeling the UK will end up relying on interconnectors.
The most straightforward way to handle adaptive audio/video quality in a multipoint video call is to send the highest quality the sender can to the server, and have the server transcode that to participants in varying qualities.

If it's E2E, the server can't transcode the stream. Realistic options are the sender sending multiple quality streams and the server picking the right one for each receiver, or sending to the server at the quality of the least capable receiver.

There's a concept of bitrate peeling, which would be great for this --- send the highest quality to the server, and the server sends a truncated stream to receivers with poor bandwidth etc. The transport stream would have to be designed so that the truncation points are known to the server, and that the receiver can verify integrity at any chosen truncation point. There's the real problem that this isn't a productionized concept; AFAIK, it's only an expiremental feature in Vorbis, and in that case, quality at a given bitrate is inferior when truncating to that bitrate vs directly encoding at that bitrate.
I agree with your disagreement. If the goal is just to make an extended film around a single idea, then yes it has a high likelihood of burning out after 10-20 hours. If the goal is to set up a world that can act as a vehicle for commentary on the real world as it develops, then the only limiting factor is how long folks want to continue working on the show, as long as the audience is there. It's perfectly fine for something like a sitcom or sketch comedy show to have both long plot arcs as well as topical treatment of current events. And of course new storylines can be thought up over the course of a few years, as well as individual episodes that take creative detours.

Also we have to remember that until very recently, series were consumed one episode at a time, in day/week intervals, or even longer. This I think also added to the deep emotional experience you mention for long-running series: we've lost the anticipation factor, and as the cliché goes, the anticipation of something is often better than the thing itself. It was like this for decades; Netflix streaming was introduced only about 13 years ago, it's first in-house series, House of Cards, came out 7 years ago. I think it'll still take a while for the industry–both creatively and logistically–to catch up to the cultural change we've undergone with binge watching streaming series.
Sure, that makes sense, but:

> why single out life-support systems and implants? Would it be meaningfully different if it were used in avionics, or industrial safety systems?

Or any other "life critical applications"?
Until that day comes I will feel pleasure knowing that my having fun with an Oculus Quest 2 fills you with envious rage.
I'm not sure I understand the argument about Yahoo Mail being irrelevant. Yeah, the cool people were on Gmail, but they weren't separate, your auntie could still send a message to the cool people on Gmail or whatever other platform.

That's not to say I disagree with anything you said, because that cultural invisibility is a great point, I just don't understand how a mail service can be irrelevant.

They are evidence of some kind of collaboration.

The problem is that evidence of collaboration doesn’t substantiate anything at all about participation in prism or any other illegal or underhanded scheme.

We know that Google does have portals to service lawful government information requests.

It’s also entirely possible that Google participated in some kind of analytics development based on their web indexing and nothing to do with private user data.

Either of these would be at least plausible explanations for these comments as “they joined prism and handed over all data to the NSA”.

Innuendo is not evidence.
I have an active FB account, but I would never use it to log in to anything other than FB via a sandboxed browser profile, and if I had to, I wouldn't use that service.
and Korea is low cost and high tech? or all of the above? Hyundai is starting to look pretty close to the best of all worlds.
We're working really hard on solving this specific problem. Resumes show you surface/hard facts, but not the "soft stuff" that really matters for whether or not people will be happy in their new role. Things like shared values, ideal work culture, priorities, etc. Our efforts have been well-received so far - 90k people have signed up to be matched with companies this way.

Editing to add that we're at http://www.happymonday.com/ & feedback is always welcome.
Isn't that better solved by individual accounts for each game and some moderation? I've never had problems in VRChat, though I didn't find it much fun either.

FWIW, I have a few fakebook accounts, with names like Nopey Nofookinwae, and they're still active... Never bought anything from Oculus Store, though.

Facebook is really shooting themselves in the foot here, imo.
Not knocking the quality of German products, but I work in biotech and I've noticed German companies that I've worked with to be inbcredibly slow. We purchase custom fabricated equipment and other supplies from all over the world and German companies often are slow to respond to technical questions about products and other sales related inquiries. Its almost feels like they're doing us a favor by giving us their time. Maybe its cultural expectations, but meanwhile local US suppliers are way too pushy, but at-least we get our questions/concerns addressed quickly.

Couldn't resist a small dig here, but German cars are well known to be money-pits. :)
I love the auto-replying-to-the-email suggestion. I didn't think of this: I might do this next time!

My goal with the form was to have people explicitly confirm details (like their role and employment status). Beforehand, I got a few requests for free copies from non-developers, and some people outside tech. This book is not really helpful for them, and I wanted to reduce this kind of support burden, by adding an automated message with the form (you can see it in action).

But finally, let me admit that I was just excited to build (what I thought was) a sensible dynamic form, automate storing the data in DynamoDB, then deleting it when the validation script runs, running the backend on Lambda that I played with for the first time. Trying out new tools: any opportunity is a good opportunity!

Standard orbital propagation models like SGP4 can have a few km of error over the course of days. There's a lot of variables that change over time. As hard as it is to predict terrestrial weather, space weather is even worse. It looks like the objects' orbits take them above and below the thermopause, and the thermopause itself is mobile which makes things even more complicated
It effect the wireless signals, especially with 5G which means it will need to be retested again. Especially when Apple is using the frame as Antenna.

This is far easier on an iPad which has that design decision made up front.
Well, the difference in perspective is that the mentally ill in this country have rights that forbid them from being forcibly locked up (under most conditions). I don't know who has the better approach. All that I know that our (US) approach isn't working for most of the population that is homeless and mentally ill.
It's not a lack of specificity that I'm worried about - quite the opposite, I think this text is far too over-specified while managing to use fluff terms that are mostly meaningless.

Meaning a court will have to somehow divine meaning from all those scare-quoted terms when the inevitable lawsuits commence.
True also.

This cycle has definitely a proven point now about how asset prices are a fungible for currency inflation. Every flavour is different though... with this kind of inflation, what what government y prints, government y receives. A central bank handles the deficit, but the asset inflation is global, not limited to a national currency. Probably destabilizing in a game theory sense.

That said, there's also the fact that for amzn, 2020 has really made prospects X% better. X% of amzn makes up for a lot of Y% worse in companies that do worse in a pandemic. There's a definite correlation between company size and prospects in this crisis year.

On government equity, I agree. Macroeconomics needs a do over. I think norway proves the principle of governments owning equity stakes pretty handily.

Incidentally, Norway would probably have been (could still be) an even bigger success case if they adjusted even more boldly. A lot gets lost on regular price inflation.
I think this is a reasonable argument for requiring accounts / checks for specific social apps in VR.

But a VR headset is not a chat device any more than a keyboard is a chat device. It's a general I/O device that can be used for all sorts of experiences, including single-user ones.
Huh. I grew up Catholic and I never understood the point of praying to saints. I always chalked it up to superstition. Your explanation sort of makes sense,
> Our EHR also automates administrative tasks such as collecting intake forms and getting reimbursement from insurance companies.

Sounds good on paper but I am not sure if I would want processes that heavily collect psychometric data and automate insurance to coexist in the same company. It is a matter of a flip of a switch (e.g. repealing of ACA) before insurance companies might legally have access to that psychometric data, with sweet profits left to this company. Even though right now they are in HIPAA land, since that data probably doesn’t qualify as therapists notes, it won’t have the same protections.

My second issue is overfocus on treatments like ketamine, psychedelics etc. I get that they target treatment resistant population, but maybe having this additional psychometric data would have rendered more conventional treatments efficacious to begin with? Or this would be a therapy modality in itself? (Pervasive technology) Or maybe it is going to be completely neutral because the extra effort required from therapist to analyze and interpret this data is not going to be worth it, or the AI won’t match the sophistication of the problems? Biomarkers for mental ails is indeed the holy grail, but the signal to noise ratio with what we have without getting invasive is pretty low.

Sounds like right now the focus of the compnay is pretty diffuse waiting to pivot on whatever proves most profitable, which is perfectly fine. Hopefully it will end up being something useful to the humanity too.
>Room-temperature superconductivity in a carbonaceous sulfur hydride

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2801-z

>Abstract:
One of the long-standing challenges in experimental physics is the observation of room-temperature superconductivity1,2. Recently, high-temperature conventional superconductivity in hydrogen-rich materials has been reported in several systems under high pressure3,4,5. An important discovery leading to room-temperature superconductivity is the pressure-driven disproportionation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to H3S, with a confirmed transition temperature of 203 kelvin at 155 gigapascals3,6. Both H2S and CH4 readily mix with hydrogen to form guest–host structures at lower pressures7, and are of comparable size at 4 gigapascals. By introducing methane at low pressures into the H2S + H2 precursor mixture for H3S, molecular exchange is allowed within a large assemblage of van der Waals solids that are hydrogen-rich with H2 inclusions; these guest–host structures become the building blocks of superconducting compounds at extreme conditions. Here we report superconductivity in a photochemically transformed carbonaceous sulfur hydride system, starting from elemental precursors, with a maximum superconducting transition temperature of 287.7 ± 1.2 kelvin (about 15 degrees Celsius) achieved at 267 ± 10 gigapascals. The superconducting state is observed over a broad pressure range in the diamond anvil cell, from 140 to 275 gigapascals, with a sharp upturn in transition temperature above 220 gigapascals. Superconductivity is established by the observation of zero resistance, a magnetic susceptibility of up to 190 gigapascals, and reduction of the transition temperature under an external magnetic field of up to 9 tesla, with an upper critical magnetic field of about 62 tesla according to the Ginzburg–Landau model at zero temperature. The light, quantum nature of hydrogen limits the structural and stoichiometric determination of the system by X-ray scattering techniques, but Raman spectroscopy is used to probe the chemical and structural transformations before metallization. The introduction of chemical tuning within our ternary system could enable the preservation of the properties of room-temperature superconductivity at lower pressures.
