Thanks, it looks like you're right. Exchanges care about UTC(NIST), which is calibrated using a variety of clocks. NIST-F1 is specifically run and calibrated for a few weeks a couple times a year, which is intermittent.

From https://www.nist.gov/pml/time-and-frequency-division/nist-ti...:

UTC(NIST) is the coordinated universal time scale maintained at NIST. The UTC(NIST) time scale comprises an ensemble of cesium beam and hydrogen maser atomic clocks, which are regularly calibrated by the NIST primary frequency standard. The number of clocks in the time scale varies, but is typically around ten. The outputs of the clocks are combined into a single signal by using a weighted average. The most stable clocks are assigned the most weight. The clocks in the UTC(NIST) time scale also contribute to the International Atomic Time (TAI) and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

UTC(NIST) serves as a national standard for frequency, time interval, and time-of-day. It is distributed through the NIST time and frequency services and continuously compared to the time and frequency standards located around the world.
If your concerns are valid, perhaps we should just stay with coal and gas. Renewables amid other problems are not going to work without massive energy storage systems, which we don't and won't have anytime soon

Suffering is on a scale. Its better that a few innocent people sit around for a few days than one guilty person getting out and killing someone.

The risks should be evaluated and the result being keeping innocent people waiting for as little as possible while also preventing criminals from getting away.
What issues have you had with Wayland? Switching to it has given me a tear free experience on both AMD & Intel laptops, besides that it performs similar to X11.
Reminds me of the journalist Scott Templeton in The Wire season 5. (Just watched that show again and it's top of mind). Incredibly ambitious reporter who sensationalizes stories, bends and breaks the rules, and is supported by upper management at every turn. All while his editor knows he's full of shit.
If the downsides weren't so significant, then sure, the pro side makes sense.

But the downsides are incredibly significant - that you have huge numbers of people who spend time in jail or spend money for a bail bond, who are indeed innocent, is a sign of a fundamentally broken system.

> It should be relative to your ability to pay

Sure, this would help, but I suspect it would still end up often unjustly impacting those who are poorer and innocent.

If people don't show up for trial, charge them for that then.

But pre trial, while presumed innocent, aside from unique high flight risk scenarios? The bail system is terrible, and fundamentally unfair.

Edit: to be clear, making it relative to ability to pay, and eliminating commercial bail bondsmen would be a big step in the right direction. I still think that's rife with issues, but it would be significantly better than what we have now.
The conviction rate is because people are forced to plea out to avoid the stacked overcharging done by prosecutors. You either take the 1-5, or go to trial and risk 20 to Life. The conviction rate at the state level is most certainly not something to be proud of because of the way it's obtained

>...However, there needs to be some provision to make sure that they don't stay in jail longer than what their offense would have garnered.

Well, in the US Constitution, they talk about a "speedy trial". But since this is the US, the US Constitution doesn't have too much weight. Failure to waive your right to a speedy trial can result in your public defender getting beat down by the judge.

Nothing to make "fun" about really, as this is a real thing in torture camps. Not with ice cream truck music, though.
From the article:

> "Ms. Callimachi’s approach to storytelling aligned with a more profound shift underway at The Times .... to turn distant conflicts in Africa and the Middle East into irresistibly accessible stories."

> "The Times should have been alert to the possibility that, in its signature audio documentary, it was listening too hard for the story it wanted to hear — rooting for the story"

This is interesting coming from Times themselves because that's exactly what I've been feeling in the past couple of years occasionally reading Times' articles. There's too much focus on narrative and less on facts. In reality there's no narrative. There's no black and white. Most things are shades of gray. You'd expect journalists to give you facts, instead their focus is on creating emotion through narrative, while rooting for their story, downplaying inconvenient facts.

It's quite sad.

Because at that point the fake conspiracy would be uncovered entirely. First, Google devs made it clear their API changes intention isn't removing ad blocking. UBlock Origin still works fine on Chrome and Chromium. Safari has in fact done more to limit ad blocking than the supposed attempt by Google, which hasn't even happened because it is fake news.

And is this desirable? How does hacking your copy of a single player game harm anyone?

Also, SimCity eventually got an offline mode.
But that doesn't fix anything. People still have to shell out for the bail, and recovery of the prisoner is left up to a private entity (but if they get picked up by a cop on a warrant they still get sent to jail). I'm not really sure there is a way to keep whatever "good" people may be seeing in the system without all the bad parts coming along with it.
Wow, this is awesome! Great concept and a beautiful result!
It’s also the need to monetize everything in your life. The “hustle” life, glorifying entrepreneurship, and the need to “advance your personal brand” were big statements made when I was in college. This was right when LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter were hitting exponential growth (Facebook already had many years earlier).

Either it’s because I personally experienced the Great Recession, the launch of social media and the iPhone, and my worldview expanded greatly as one does in undergrad all at once, or it really is a new phenomenon that your employer has no loyalty to you, so one must rely on their own. With social media, these themes are just further perpetuated and there’s a pressure to start companies.

I’ve already worked my ass off at my day job, and just want my hobbies to not turn into side projects or “side hustles”. I don’t intend on starting companies based on them.

You do know that people can be held without bail/bond right? It's not the dichotomy that you are making it out to be.
> The Python standard library is amazing.

I generally agree, but it has some weird holes. There isn't an OrderedSet, it doesn't have a binary tree like Java's TreeMap, its HTTP client isn't great (people mostly use Requests), and there's a lot still missing from its asyncio library.

I think your idea is agreeable but if we did treat hardware this way it changes almost everything. Apple/Nintendo/Sony/etc would all be required to give users root access to the software and remove their ToS.

And then it get even more complex when you get in to online services. Game consoles are going online only next gen. If you buy the ps5 digital edition and you mod your OS and sony bans you from their servers, your console is now a brick. But in many cases its fair to be banned such as banning cheaters.
HFT market makers can quote tighter spreads because they take on less risk. They can take on less risk for some combination of two factors: their speed, and the accuracy of their trading models. Depending on the firm, a different trade off is taken, with some executing obvious strategies the fastest, and others operating at a relatively slow pace, but using much more complex and nuanced strategies. Since market makers quote orders on the book much more often than taking orders off the book (takers have to pay and makers get paid on almost all exchanges), they provide tons of liquidity.

For most securities, there are very few natural buyers and sellers of a security, so they would find it very hard to transact without an intermediary market maker.

All electronic market makers are HFTers compared to regular market participants, but they run a very diverse set of strategies, with some operating at much closer to human speeds when compared to the fastest of the bunch.

Market makers provide better price and execution than traditional human market makers, and are a net positive to the market ecosystem, at least in regards to retail investors (the institional traders do sometimes get fucked).
It cuts both ways though. The surety's financial resources are taken into account by the bail decision maker. If the accused does not have sufficient means, other conditions may be imposed. But if no other conditions are available, the bail decision maker may be obliged to refuse bail.

Well, using your words, you are willing to prevent progress and preferring to maintain that the state continuing carrying out what you called "an injustice". Slightly stronger wording on your part. In addition, there are already solutions to the problem that you cite as the reason this injustice should be maintained i.e serial killers don't get bail/bond.

Most companies would rather just buy the enterprise card than go through all of this hassle. Its not even a rip off when you consider that the enterprise cards pay for the research and development on cuda which puts enterprise grade tools in the hands of students and hobbiests.

AMDs version is simply not supporting their version of cuda (rocm) on consumer cards (the navi ones anyway)

Well there are multiple factor involve, so population density isn't always of the main concern. The main cost of infrastructure is actually the rent, of any land / property cost required for the Cell. In Countries where Mobile Network already owns the land for these Cell Site / Tower that were paid and amortised during the 2G / 3G / 4G era. They are now essentially free. In Cities, that depends on rent and property pricing, unless you have government mandate or directly involved like in China. It is also dependent on the fear level of radiation in the culture / nation. People will protest to get rid of Cell Site in their own area ( While at the same time demand their Mobile Phone to have perfect reception ). Which also drives up the cost of finding and setting up Cell Sites. ( Or they are willing to put up with the risk of radiation if you pay them more ).
No because they want students to have cuda to learn with and home devs to have so they develop tools for it. Then when the enterprises use it for profit they have to pay for the development of the platform.

It would have to be open sourced first and foremost. Second, there is nothing stopping government funded development efforts towards web technologies. Finally, there would need to be some incentive to developers. If developers can already contribute to an open source browser of their choice with companies that align with their political vision, why should they contribute to a publicly funded browser that will likely have its own political motivations geared towards whatever administration is in power?
Imperative time allows you to enter time value as per your consideration. For example you can enter 1 for 1 hour, 0.5 for 30 minutes, 0.25 for 15 minutes. :) Without imperative time it will restrict you to enter .59 at max i.e 59 minutes.

> Tolkien and Madeleine L'Engle wrote novels in a similar vein (that are also excellent children's books).

Tolkien very much did not write Christian allegory/apologia in the guise of fiction, though he did remix Christian themes. So I wouldn't say Tolkien’s books were much at all in the same vein as Lewis’s.

Here in New York City I’m noticing the use of CitiBike, our bike share program, really taking off. Many more people in the bike lanes than a few months ago. It’s getting to the point that the volume of bikes is beginning to exceed the system’s ability to rebalance itself (or be rebalanced by people whose job it is to do so); popular destination bike stations have no empty bike docks and popular source locations are nearly entirely empty.
The US system is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. We should not be ok with denying a person’s freedom while they are presumed innocent. Additionally the conviction rate has nothing to do with actual guilt. Many people plea to get it over with.

I did this myself in the early 90s shortly after turning 18. I was charged with class 3 misdemeanor disorderly conduct for skateboarding. My lawyer thought we could beat it but I was poor and starting college hundreds of miles away. I was afraid of the disruption to my studies plus the costs of going to trial. It was easier to plea to a lesser charge (summary offense, like a traffic ticket) and move on.

This scenario plays out for many people and has little to do with actual guilt.
This is a cool project and an interesting design, but after reading the description I'm still not clear on how it actually works. How is it choosing which balls get retained each rotation when the top part is basically all fixed magnets?
This is quite neat.

However, to be honest, the part about how behaviours works at the beginning of the explanation linked, is not.

Society and sociological behaviours (not to mention economical) are more complex than "whatever behaviours sticks around is the fittest". This stems from the fact that one is living in a modern world and is (to a certain extent) well fed, well educated, ...

You only have to look at the multitude of society that have survived until now to see that that kind of thought is not valid. For example, in some tribe, war is stopped when one life is lost (I believe this was Palau), or in others, wives eat the brains of their deceased husband. In some, matriarchy is the norm. Etc.

It is very difficult to conclude a simplistic view of society/sociological behaviours.
A Google dev once told me that every day they write as much code as the whole kernel contains.
What drives the high cellular prices in the United States? Is it regulation? Infrastructure cost? Lack of competition?

I don't buy the lack of competition argument honestly. Cellular data is a commodity. Cell towers are not exactly a utility to the extent that optical fiber/coax is. If there was margin to be exploited, capital would have flowed in to take advantage. But it's likely that the risk adjusted return in the cellular business is already too low to attract more players and drive down costs without a significant technology moat.

Fundamentally the idea of a surety doesn't work for the really poor. If you don't have anything to put up as collateral, you don't have anything to loose by skipping bail.

The flip side of that, is if you are really poor you have less resources to use making your escape, so maybe the bail system is less needed.

But just because the bail system doesn't work well for poor people doesn't mean its also broken for middle class people.

I didn’t take away anything probabilistic from your earlier remark, so I’ll take this followup as an amendment.

Actually, though, I do recommend that you inspect mains power cabling & connectors prior to installation and on a regular basis subsequently. Having received a mains shock from improperly installed amplification equipment it is not something I’d wish on anybody, and it is completely preventable.

As for people not being permitted to latch the fuel trigger, a quick read through the comments here and passim reveals that many jurisdictions do have significant restrictions on self service as part of the operating license for retail fuel outlets, including removing the trigger latch pin, or mandatory pump shut-off if folks are observed using a mobile phone, having a smoke etc. That last one is astounding but some people are just fucking stupid, who knew?

In general I try to avoid circumstances that have even a low probably of ending in self-immolation, electrocution etc and will happily follow (and recommend) basic and simple protocols to reduce that likelihood further.

But then, I’m one of those crazies that looks both ways before crossing the road, wears a bike helmet, gets a professional to pack his reserve etc. This year I even learned to wash my hands.

Short answer to mortality: Livit lik sabaka fing to decho. (life sucks and then you die)

From the article:

> On the flip side, the cash bail system also tends to let high-risk or violent, but wealthy, offenders go free with little to no meaningful supervision. Research conducted by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation (JJAF) found that, in the two largest jurisdictions they studied, nearly half of the highest-risk defendants were released pending trial. On the other end of the spectrum, they found that “low-risk, non-violent defendants are frequently detained.” In other words, the cash bail system does an extremely poor job detaining defendants who pose a serious risk to public safety — particularly those who appear likely to commit crimes of violence — and to releasing those who do not.
> 3) It undermines artistic intent: Giving people the ability to remix a song that is outside of the artist's control would probably run counter to their vision of what the song should be.

I'm conflicted about that point. On one hand side I understand they want to control the end product. On the other, the two "albums" I love just for their sound are DMB's Lillywhite Sessions and some barely mixed Deep Purple garage recordings. I suspect it's mainly due to lack of compression, since I also prefer the older raw records to modern remasters, but there could be something more I can't consciously identify.
