> Other outfits can probably injure Twitch by poaching key stars, but it's not a path to success for these rival services. The absolute most they can achieve is kill off Twitch, at which point it's as likely the piles of small creators just do Youtube, rather than figuring out tooling and financials for your new live service instead.

Microsoft tried with Mixer, they poached some Twitch stars and shutdown earlier this year. those stars just returned to Twitch.

Totally agreed; simply dropping this phrase altogether is what I've landed on as the best fit. Regardless of whether it's being used correctly, the primary signal sent by users of this phrase is "I believe I sound linguistically impressive right now". That's not worth saving.
For evidence, read the Senate Intelligence Report:

In the case of Norway, this could be a public signal to Russia indicating the motivation for some other action, such as the recent Su-30 friendly fire incident, the recent munitions dump explosion, dramatically enhanced IT capabilities by the Belarus opposition movement etc.

So a message: "If you do this, we do that."
If the acting parties know who they are, no public proof is necessary to send the message.
Storing it is only half the problem, but what happens when you have 1 billion rows? How quickly will you be able to query the exact data you want?

Looking up Lab* color could be a good start, if you're unfamiliar- color being naturally three dimensional (eg RxGxB), LAB is a projection of color where L attempts to account for every color of a perceived lightness, and A and B account for another two dimensions (green-to-red and blue-to-yellow... you can read the wp page as well as I can). The goal being that a given distance in any direction anywhere in the volume have an equal perceptual difference to the eye, an aspect sorely missing from RGB (where eg 8bits/channel is overkill in some colors but can result in banding in others, as well as being cumbersome to process in, as GP mentioned)

If you have unlimited access to said disk space for a nominal fee, that’s commons.

Similarly, if you rent a hotel room, you have free access to common areas like the pool or lounge. Normally this works wonderfully, until a big party takes over the common space.
If they could control the photo taking process, couldn't they also just have the photo takers label the colors as well?
From my viewpoint in history, the homes will be the last thing to get attacked, politicians can't stomach another 08 and we know how to print our way out. If the dollar manages to fend off devaluation due to entended printing(crosses fingers and hopes the world trusts us more than any other currency to pay back our debt) the US may get out of this, ahead of other economies. The people really holding bag havent even entered the workforce, many havent even been born yet.

I haven't seen rents really drop in LA either. Commercial landlords would rather let the building go half vacant and try offering 1-2 months of free rent before they drop the base rent.
Full remote will also increase supply for each company.
>Based on your logic, why is that engineer NOT paid the MTV salary today in BLR?

Indeed, perhaps that will be the case if there really is so much supply; if that's what the supply curve turns out to be.

But it makes zero sense to pin salaries to local cost of living other than to bait a candidate to live somewhere you want them to. Its not based on demand, its not based on supply.
Oh, that's a significant improvement; thanks for the clarification! I may consider one of these down the road.
Vi and Emacs were both originally released in 1976.
And this attitude of absolute safety over everything would preclude many of the most interesting sports, hobbies, and possibly inventions. They're not selling it nor even producing kits. In another episode they played with 'light saber rods' but carefully wearing full heat shielding suits. And yes, only people with actual Jedi semi-prescience could probably use a real or even imitation light saber as real weapons without maiming themselves. That makes it even more fun to watch this build, IMHO. Science fiction not remaining fictional has been the cause for many actual inventions.

> who mumbled something about "advanced functionality".

This isn't fair. Each lightning connector has a small chip with MFI certification info, performs the magical asymmetric pin switching for reversibility, and in some situations it informs the device of the cable's purpose and functionality. E.g., at one company we built a custom lightning cable for high-speed (at the time) RT video streamed from a consumer camera. The cable's pins could be configured ad-hoc to support data transfer (when streaming) or power transfer (charging the camera) as needed.

Sure, today this can be done without a special cable and some custom USB drivers, but 8 years ago it was really cool.

Interesting, thanks for the links! The color vision link had a nice chart outlining the infrared to ultraviolet chart with sensitivity ratings.

Curious though, how serious of an impact would time of day have on this curve? If someone took the test in the early morning, would yellow be more striking/harsh than if they viewed it at night? Would blue be more striking after a day of saturated sunlight?

Edit: Blue and yellow are similarly placed on the chart, apparently accounting for the morning/night sensitivity
Still works for me. If it can’t find a match it will just upload your mp3s to apples servers and then I presume they can stream to a HomePod.

Personally, I'm not big on accepting personal blame for fifty years of bad urban planning decisions made by other people, almost entirely before I could vote. But I understand that that's not a helpful, satisfactory, or emotionally resonant response to someone looking for an enemy to accuse of wrecking everything they hold dear. Certainly not when they have someone who represents all those evils right before them.

I've learned to cut such people off immediately. Nothing good can come of attempting to offer sympathy, solidarity, or compassion to someone who views you as a mustache-twirling cartoon villain.
Militant Grammarians of Massachusetts, anyone?

But seriously, this is a piece of information I wish I didn't know.

I wish I didn't know it because (1) I see "begs the question" used much more frequently to mean "compels us to consider" than the logical fallacy and (2) every time I see it used that way, an annoying, pedantic voice in the back of my head says, "oh, it's used wrong!"

And then I have to waste some mental effort to tell that voice to STFU. It's rather distracting.

So anyway.

The problems are (1) the phrase "begs the question" is much more evocative of the "wrong" meaning than the "correct" meaning and (2) the wrong meaning is needed far more often than the correct one (people talk about things that need to be talked about more than they talk about making conclusions that accidentally assume themselves).

Thus, I suggest we officially (perhaps a people's petition to the white house? I'm sure the current president would be sympathetic to our cause) abandon the use of "begs the question" to mean "assumes the conclusion", and finally put this annoying matter to rest.
Depends on how big the rocks are. The Tunguska event (not an end-all-life level of catastrophe but definitely not something we'd want to repeat on accident) is thought to have been caused by something that was about 100 meters or so [1]. Compared to light-weight spacecraft that's a lot more mass than we're accustomed to moving with the technology currently available. Also, the destructiveness of that event may have had a lot to do with the relative velocity of it with the Earth, which would presumably be a lot lower if you were just trying to aim a metal-rich boulder or bundle of processed metal into a parking orbit with Earth.

It would be reasonable to expect some level of concern from the governments of Earth that even relatively small metallic objects could be used as effective weapons if lobbed at specific cities or military installations. Perhaps heavy manufacturing will for that and other reasons be kept away from Earth orbit and instead be done in, say, lunar orbit or in one of the Earth-sun Lagrangian points where the gravity well isn't so deep and it's easier to move the product anywhere else in the solar system.

The word order in that sentence is less important, because it uses old pronoun "thee" as opposed to "thou" (analogous to German "dich" vs "du"), thus indicating the subject and object.

"With this ring, thee I wed"

"I wed thee, with this ring"

...

"Thee, with this ring, I wed" (???)

When you use "you", suddenly there is only one obvious order.

What you're essentially asking for is the ability of someone to create an account on a service that isn't Facebook, but still be added as a friend by someone on Facebook, view content only available to their friends, share content with Facebook users, send and receive DMs etc.

That has the potential to be extremely effective. Anyone using a service solely for the network effect could switch to another one, which could be a large fraction of the users and reintroduce meaningful competition.

The biggest problem is protocol complexity. If Facebook adds some kind of timeline feature or anything like that, do they have to add it to the protocol other providers interface with Facebook using? If so, they can stamp out competition by adding so much complexity to the protocol that challengers can't keep up with it. If not, they can add features that challengers can't interface with. And expecting technologically-sideways regulators to arbitrate that sort of thing is a big ask.

Yeah it’s weird. I haven’t seen for rent signs before but now I see them on every single building but rents are same. It probably means landlords are basically charging too much and making too much money and not paying enough in taxes(1-2% tax increase per year is probably nothing compared to increases in rent prices)
Investors, like always. Do you think its mom and pop opening a bar with smoke infused cocktails in SF, or anywhere else for that matter where commercial rent has been astoundingly high for decades now? Investors will buy back in once it makes sense economically. Restaurant turnover is typical.

afaict they've been pretty consistent on "no original content" since the beginning. Wikipedia "wants" to be an aggregator of knowledge, not a primary source, and that page seems very clearly on the opposite side of that divide.

whether or not that's a useful place to draw the line: I dunno. wikipedia is what it is with that line, it's hard to say if it's a cause or in spite of it without competition.

I just added a caveat about that, but many of the top of market neighborhoods people tend to go for here haven't dropped nearly that much (e.g West Village area, Chelsea, UES/UWS). NYC is huge and that drop is not spread equally. Guessing it isn't in SF either, but it seems 31% is going to hit every neighborhood at least a good deal.

Edited to add to this, see the spread in June:

https://www.renthop.com/studies/nyc/renthop-2020-subway-rent...

West 4th = West Village, up 7% YOY mid pandemic, even as other neighborhoods saw more drops.

Author.

I'm noodling on notions, and some recent commentary by Cory Doctorow sparked much of this, or rather, gave cause to expand a recent HN comment.

This is quite possibly wrong in parts or whole. Critiques welcomed.

Though it seems fairly clear that the ills dominating recent discussions of the Internet and media aren't merely incidental to monopoly but integral to it. And that monopoly itself is a control structure.

The question's been raised in discussion elsewhere about whether or not smaller / cloistered discussions might also give rise to propaganda. My thinking is "possibly, but likely to a lesser degree'.

That's not what he's saying. What he's saying is that if you do math in RGB space, it doesn't work out as you expect.

So the simplest example of math is taking the average of two colors. If you plot two colors in RGB space and take the midpoint of the line connecting, the resulting color tends not to look anything like "halfway" between the two colors. If you instead did the process in HSL, the result makes more sense.

This one is so annoying thing in Linux. My Sony wireless headset works flawlessly on Windows/Mac/Android mobile without any extra installation or set up. By default the sound quality is awesome and call quality is awesome.

Now all the problems start when I want to use with Linux. By default, it uses HFP mode and you have to edit config file to make sure it faults into A2DP by default. Now headset volume is great but when I use Mic, the quality is horrible and I feel like I am living in 1900s era. There is no solution I have found to work with Linux?!

These are the things Linux will never get to the quality of Mac/Android (both are based out of *nix and they solved the problem)
It's important to point out that while these trials appear promising, there has never been a vaccine developed for any coronavirus before that eradicated the illness in humans[0]. Influenza vaccines, for example, work to fortify the immune system from various strains of influenza, but they do not prevent illness. There's a lot of political and commercial pressure to make this happen, but the reality is that this is an incredibly hard problem to solve and we may be dealing with COVID-19 in some form for the foreseeable future.

> At this point, Thread#25 calls free(fooptr), but it now has to be a global-synchronization, since the data came from Thread#10's pool.

I don't think this is true. As I understand it, it just gets put into Thread#25's pool rather than returned to Thread#10s. If there's a long-running imbalance—like a producer-consumer pattern in which all the mallocs are from Thread#10 and all the frees are from Thread#25—that will lead to more global synchronization because the allocator will have to repeatedly refill Thread#10's pool and empty Thread#25's pool. But if it's just that there's some shuffling of threads between the allocations and frees but stuff is generally balanced, there's little if any additional cost.

I think you're suggesting using a set of "task-local" custom allocators, and each of those can ignore threads? I suppose that would work, as each task is only on one thread at once, and there has to be a barrier anyway when it hops from thread to thread. But I'm skeptical it's faster than the system allocator. I'd love

Native Korean speaker here, born in the 70s and grew up in Seoul. We all learned a dozen short-long pairs at school (like 눈 nun being either eye or snow), and of course the education got all of us tricked into thinking that we're making these distinctions (if only we try hard enough). But looking at it objectively, I don't think a single person around me used vowel length distinction. If you have to "think" whether a word is long or short, that means the distinction is dead. No English speaker has to "think" whether fan or pan is the correct word. An actual sound distinction comes automatically for native speakers.

Similarly, ㅐ/ㅔ ("ae"/"e") distinction was dead before I was born, but schools insisted that they're well and alive. Not sure what they're teaching these days.
