Some aspects of design are subjective, some are more objective. Accessibility is an aspect thay can be objectively tested. You can test how easy a door handle makes it for abled humans, differently abled humans, velociraptors to open. However how pleasing that door handle is too look at is very subjective. I am having a hard time grasping these door handles. Its harder to differentiate and identify between the apps in the suite. It dose look more cohesive though, which engenders a sense of trust in the branding. Im not sure google really needs to forgo accessibility for cohesive branding like this. Just give me some identifying colors back.
It's interesting because that equalization would only affect people in certain industries which are already fairly well compensated. If people making tech salaries move to overlooked parts of the country, I wonder to what extent their wealth would trickle down to benefit their new communities?

It would be interesting if a bunch of people leaving the Bay Area ended up congregating in certain low-COL communities. I wouldn't be surprised if a sort of rural gentrification occurs in the handful of Midwestern towns that have gigabit fiber. Would those areas remain low COL? Would the existing inhabitants become a sort of underclass?
A slight technicality that I only recently learnt. You catch a virus . In this case it is Sars-CoV-2 . The virus causes a disease. In this case Covid-19.

So , how this ladders up (in my understanding at-least is this): People can catch the virus irrespective of Vitamin D levels. The virus can and will replicate in the body. The Vitamin D levels in the body determine the severity of the disease in the said body. This all feels intuitive but I am conscious that immunology is where intuitions go to die so someone please correct me if I am wrong :)
What's the point of using a TPM to decrypt your disk automatically? You use disk encryption to be protected against the case that the computer gets stolen. But that means the attacker has your TPM and can use it.

The only way to prevent that is requiring a BIOS password at boot (not very common) and secure boot (and like in the article many Linux users skip that because it can require extra knowledge and extra work.)

So you replaced entering a disk password by entering a BIOS password. What's the benefit from usability perspective?

(Yes, secure boot would add security I don't try to deny that.)

So I guess any company becomes a "monopoly" if you reduce enough the definition of its field?!
The state could, by force, take anything from anyone. That it doesnt is your definition of a "cost" ?

What people are concerned about is whether it is taxed income which funds this, and it isnt.

I don't know what definition of cultural appropriation you are using where using someone else's culture for profit doesn't count.
I think it only requires a change of mindset for a developer. Learning TDD truly will usually lead to functional code, even if you do not write your tests first.

Eg. I can't imagine what would be hard for a MS Paint clone to achieve using this approach. There are always things with side-effects (IO, namely), agreed, but in this CRUD example, the integration bits are coupled in a way where you need a single trivial integration test. Similar approach can be applied to a GUI app, so I am not sure why does GP feel it can't? Any concrete things where you think you can't apply it?

Sure, you'll have many more small functions, but I think the core takeaway should be that you can always structure code in away where integration functions are simply statement-lists (eg. no control-flow logic in them). That will usually require rest of your code to be functional.

And yeah, it's harder to adapt existing code to this pattern, but introducing new code in an existing code base following functional pattern is trivial.
While the network with no new participants is in some sense static, the participants themselves aren't. The income of most people tends to grow over time, which would imply an increasing demand for bitcoin from those participants.

Since supply will become more and more constrained over time, while demand has no realizable upper limit (that we know of), this assumption is wrong:

> Obviously bitcoin price won't grow to the moon and its price is limited by some economical factors.

If bitcoin were to be fully adopted by the mainstream, BTCs would be easily in the M$ range.
The feature sizes of the icons, as in the paths and shapes that make them up are too big. they're harder to discriminate when you shrink the icon down.
One thing I love about accounting for accessibility is that it applies to everyone. A rotating door can be used by a person without a hand, or a person with a coffee cup and a cellphone in each hand. With these changes, I will absolutely click the wrong app, I will click the wrong ones more when I am tired, or my screen brightness is low.

Hopefully an accessbility setting can help here.
I hate AMP. It is just a tech to give google more control. Anything to helps kill it off is a good thing. It is possible to create pages that load fast on mobile without it.
While the delivery times are not great yet because a lot of items come from abroad, their inventory is now pretty extensive.

In these COVID times, I've been buying quite a bit of bicycle gear & parts and in many cases I could find stuff on Amazon at lower prices than AU specialist online shops. It certainly was not the case just a couple months ago.

I reckon Prime Membership in AU is now very worth it as you get free international shipping for orders over $49, in addition to free expedited domestic shipping and Prime video access.
Yes and no. TSMC's process node gives some hard upper limit to what can be built, but whether you can make your design that compact is an open question.

One consideration is that while we think of each transistor as individual and isolated, in reality they are simply wells of n and p type silicon with some oxides and metal thrown in. Because of this we can get unwanted parasitic components and latches. A BJT transistor for example is just a pattern of three silicon types, so it is somewhat inevitable that these will occur, whether they cause issues, and to what extent depends on the design.

Packing everything as tight as possible gives noise concerns, thermal concerns, signal integrity issues ect.

This is not to devalue the achievement of TSMC, but to state that design work is still a work as well.

That isnt what "cost the tax payer" means. And 'A' is false.

The government does not 'send' the family anything, it takes £200m from the profits of their assets and leaves them with £100m.

If the government ignores property rights and seizes assets arbitrarily, the whole economy would collapse.

There is no cost to the taxpayer anywhere.

I'm not wrong, you are.

By the way, by repeating that I'm wrong and by starting with a straight "No", by always commenting without reasoning and politeness, you made sure that I will correct you - and that I'm not buying into your strange attempts to correct your statements to something that is correctish. They don't work anyway, these SSDs throttle.

You should change your tone around here.
Was I the only one disappointed in the decreasing die size? In our solid state past, it was about cramming more in there. All this cost-cutting leaving gaps... it wouldn’t pass the Jobs’ fish tank test.
Yeah but sometimes it gets around paywalls.

I actually remember that software, used it to chat with a few people. Never knew John McAfee founded it.

The screen shots may look garish now but in the early web that wasn't unusual at all. People looked more at what you could do and less at how it looked. Course it was a pretty hardcore group of tech people in the early days of the net.

The studies with positive results are suggesting somewhere around a one binary order of magnitude reduction in risk of infection with possibly some reduction in severity of cases. I'd suspect that the health authorities would not be reluctant to promote a vaccine that had similar results if none better becomes available. Some hospitals are supplementing vitamin D for Covid-19 patients. Trump got it.

Can too many brainy people be a dangerous thing?
Your parent comment is just a dramatic fan fiction. This man wasn't in Russia on some clandestine mission. He was there as a CIA agent to meet with Russian intelligence. They didn't need to send him a message that he knew who he was, or what he was doing, because his identity and the purpose of his visit was already in all of their calendars. You'd presume that message was sent when they RSVP'd the meeting.
> I love ice cream. But if I had to eat a billion gallons of it, it would lose its appeal.

How do you know? Besides, if you had to eat a billion gallons of it, but over a billion years, I'm pretty sure it would've not lost its appeal at all. It's not "too much" but "too frequent" that takes the joy away.

To counter your example: I watch more TV series than I probably should. What I've learned is that while there's no fun in rewatching the same show just after you finished your first run, rewatching after ~5 years feels almost as if you were watching it for the first time.

I think life is the same. Brains are physical objects with limited capacity for memories and experiences. A million years of life won't be a million years of memories. But it will be a million years' worth of refining your person.

> if we had it in infinite supply, it wouldn't have much value.

Maybe "economic value" under capitalism. But emotional value to the person living.

> I wonder if they have really thought through the consequences.

I know I did. I fail to see a problem with everyone extending their lives indefinitely, past the initial hurdle of rebuilding our economic system to not structurally depend on people dying on schedule, and actually getting space exploration started.

And remember, if you get bored living forever, you could always check out. Right now, we don't even have an option to live long enough to get bored.

First, Stripe, despite it's mega valuation, is small peanuts. They are just a part of something much bigger, and they are not really enabling new markets.

Second, they didn't invent anything new, they just made the process a easier. There are plenty of non-Stripe solutions you can use today.

To a teenage software developer without business exposure or experience, who thinks 'opening a merchant account' is a big deal, or that 'incorporating' is a big deal, Stripe seems like some kind of magic.

But none of that is hard. People do it all the time. Your plumber, hairdresser and local cafe probably have some kind of incorporation and collect/pay a VAT and business tax. It's not rocket science. You can usually do it online in a few minutes.

'Dealing with banks' is not a problem with scale. 2% of every transaction however, and the underlying power structures that want to keep it that way ... that's a problem.

That sentence is so important, yet lacking so many details.

This happens in a lot of tech talks too. Also a problem with explaining design patterns.

Yeah, but they got what they wanted. Every news site enabled AMP, and nobody will change it back now.

If you're not shady its pretty easy to prove your legit. Real offline bussinesses have to keep records too, and the same attack can happen in the real world since selling counterfeit goods is a crime (harder to get away with false report though in the physical world)
In the web browser which is primarily where I look at the Google icons, it's not terrible.

It's now much easier to see my Google-related tabs and there is a decent consistency whereas before calendar, gmail, and drive looked totally different.
And maybe also look at some other cold hard evidence: how many new users are you onboarding compared to figma? How many users are involved in a design process that aren't using mac? How much time is saved when iterating over a design with stakeholders if all stakeholders can directly provide feedback in the tool?
He was 80. It doesn't really prove anything that he died of a lung illness.
_anything_ ? That's a scary precedent you've given there. You want a poorly-written law that can be used and abused to disallow lots of other websites, including archive.org (it's easy enough to imagine) to get rid of AMP?

Be careful what you wish for.
Check the videos on Dr John Campbell's (PhD nurse educator in the UK) web site. The UK national health service has good medical records that can be cross-referenced and cross-linked every which way. Someone examined the historical records, found a reasonably large number of persons who had vitamin D levels checked before the pandemic, and checked those statistics vs the Covid-19 experience of the same people. (Imagine living in a country where that could happen.) IIRC, this did find some benefits wrt COVID-19 of not having a very low vitamin D level.

adpropriare "to make one's own," from Latin ad "to" (see ad-) + propriare "take as one's own,"

US courts treat commercial litigation and consumer/personal differently.

In my opinion, I would also like for AMD to invest in ML tooling while they have the cash.

I hope one day Pytorch, XLA, Glow would have native AMDGPU support, and I will be able to buy a couple Radeon 6000 series cards, undervolt them and make a good ML box.

I think AMD gpus on TSMC 7nm, then maybe even 5nm, will have the best performance or watt. Even though they might be 10% or 20% slower than the alternative. For me performance per watt and dollar is more important.

Anyway, it's sad that they couldn't make a 5 to 10 people (I might be too optimistic) engineering team that would make their product relevant in this market.
you're right. i did it for a summer.

AWS sometimes does something similar to this like “enter the name of the thing you’re trying to delete to confirm”. I think it makes sense because you can have such a huge difference between how much you care about certain s3 buckets or CloudFormation deploys etc. In true AWS fashion it’s inconsistent between services though.
The media cycle is a money grab anyway you slice.I couldnt careless about the misfortune of any news medium while things are in the current state. Everyone of them prioritize their news coverage based on clicks. 2020 has been the gold rush for all media big or small capitalizing on a nation that is falling apart.A complete overhaul of media is needed. Not this tid for tat. Put some energy in the places that matter.
If you wanted to be able to test your MS Paint clone, you might implement your drawing core without being dependent on a window existing. An off-the-cuff approach might be to have the core define a canvas interface with the rendering primitives it desires, and provide a suite of functions that will translate user input actions to canvas rendering primitives.

A purely functional approach would involve a core of functions taking in a current state and returning an updated state and a list of canvas actions to take.

Functions might include "select ellipse tool" and "set pen width to 5" and "click on canvas at point (3,15)" and return canvas primitives like "render ellipsis from (3,15) to (47,99) with stroke width 5, stroke colour black, and no fill".

Unit testing of the core should obviously be quite simple to do, being totally independent of the GUI system.

After you memorized a card for the first time, it is presented again on the very next day. If you can still recall it right away it moves to the next stage, which is then shown again in 2 days. Intervals double from then on. If you have difficulties recalling a card, it moves back to the start.

You can customize the intervals yourself per deck to adjust for the subject (e.g. vocabulary cards with only one word per card probably can have longer intervals than, let's say, an anatomy card with details about a muscle, bone or nerve).

Large businesses in America, including Amazon, require their customers and suppliers to waive their right to sue. Amazon et el cannot be held accountable through the legal system.

These abuses will continue unless there is enough of a sea change in Washington that protecting free markets becomes more of a priority than protecting the freedom of large businesses to exploit people.

That will happen no sooner than the day Amazon receives an order for ice skates from the hotter half of the Christian afterlife.
