They can do that with many Android phones it’s not hard to find ones with a boot loader you can open including the Google Pixel.

I used Android from day one till the LG Nexus and I switched to an iPhone after having to spend yet another weekend compiling a kernel to update my phone.

Most people want a device that “just works”.

Overall I would be good money on the fact that the percentage of people that say they want to be able to hack their phone freely and will actually do so is very slim because again Android gives you 90% if not more of that freedom already and some devices even can boot other OSes.

Sure things like the blobs on the baseband are still closed but that will always be the case no one realistically is expecting a high end 100% open source phone, and if you are keep dreaming.

And yes while having a phone that just works and one that is open isn’t mutually exclusive in principal but it is in practice especially once you account for economics.

Like it or not securing an open system is harder, and companies don’t like investing time and money developing features hardly anyone will use.

there's a huge amount of overt censorship from people literally disappearing comments along with all the shadowbanning here that is rarely acknowledged, how sure are you about that statement?
Logseq supports both block and page embeds, it has datalog queries and task management from org mode. Another difference is that Obsidian is a desktop app and Logseq is a web app which can be used on mobile too.

Would you rather try it out on an entire state first? It is low risk compared to the alternative options to experiment.
The status with the hospitals is that the ICU's are filling up or full.

Nonessential surgeries were brought back in after the 1st wave didn't develop in the size and strength expected and are now getting pushed back or cancelled because this wave is overwhelming the system.

But you can just read the news and see that this is what is happening so I don't understand why you are asking it in the first place. (The risk of permanent hospital closures & bankruptcies in the USA was about losing revenue from certain type of procedures because of COVID risks, but that's a separate issue that has little to do with this.)

So again, why do you need to quibble over rounding errors in cause of death paperwork when the hospitals are filling up or full? Why? What's the point?
I guess you didn't read about their Xeon Phi bi-directional ring architecture that achieved dozens of terrabytes/sec of bandwidth, their 512b vector-processor ISA, or, heck, just for giggles, the industry's first FinFet (and high-k dielectric) on p1270, p1272, and p1274. But, please, do go on.
You're an EMT. Which means you aren't trained to deal with mental health issues. Just like the police.

Sadly, it’s looking like Intel won’t do 5nm until 2023 at which point TSMC is projecting 3nm. They won’t be able to catch up.

On the other hand Intel is a huge national security interest for the US, so expect the government to help them out where possible.
I didn't mean to suggest that SANE was a poor project, I guess I just supposed it was sort of gallows humor from developers working on a hard problem.
Yea, starting your own business is the only option for a lot of disabled people.
Just so people understand this doesn’t mean that indian food is healthy.

This really should be paired with the fact that Soouth Asians (indians) are 4x more likely to have a heart attack than any other population.

I am an indian and I did 2 nutrition startups.

Most South Indian food is unhealthy - heavy carbs laced with oils. Delicious but unhealthy.

A small part of North Indian food is healthy - roti, daals, veggies etc.

1. This isn't a clear cut, though some services don't allow using both Oauth 2.0 and email / username login, most do. So if the service provider allows both, create a simple user + link your account.

2. Developers should always allow restoring passwords for SSO only users, it is ridiculous for it to even be an issue.

3. As a user, refrain fro using free email accounts to identify on a platform, as others already said, buy a domain not an expensive one, and stick to it, remember to renew, and setup your email address with a reliable service, there are good providers for $1 a month.

Update: line separation...
Wonderful article, I totally agree.

There is ungodly amount of garbage history military history out there, because people want to read it. However, that does not mean there is not a huge amount of great work done in that field.

Its quite simply the case that for 1000s of years states major spending was on military and military matters, and the greatest transformation of society and economics happen during conflicts. Trying cut out military history from other fields is a fundamental mistake of the modern historians and more importantly universities.

I often listen to lectures from military historians and they quite often have a 'black sheep' feel around them, making self-depreciating jokes about how they still exist, this often leads to good lectures because they are already not inhibited by the conventions and trends other historians tend to follow.

I once used to buy digital movies on Amazon and thought it was a great experience. Until my first vacation in Canada where I discovered I couldn't watch my movies. I called them and they said that my movies were region-locked to the United States. To their credit, they did refunded all of my digital purchases. I haven't bought anything digital from them since.

So, not an Amazon account ban, but you quickly learn you are not "buying" a movie, but renting it, sometimes with silly restrictions like "only from these IPs".
Apple’s core is very wide. But wide usually means very high power consumption.

M1 apparently has much lower power consumption.

So something else is going on other than “Apple is willing to spend more to make cores wider”.
He can struggle while restrained, severely injuring himself, and even to the point of killing himself. Handcuffs are temporary restraints and a struggling individual can severely hurt themself or defeat them.

Also, this scenario does jive with what I'm saying. Ketamine is generally safe. Would you rather have a shot of ketamine, mechanical disablement (multiple broken bones), or a shot of 9mm? These officers could have moved higher up the force continuum without the ketamine, even killing him in other ways (intentionally or accidentally). Are you saying tasers should never be used also?

I believe the vascular restriction (that they shouldn't have used) is the reason he was brain dead.

Very true.

Social safety nets only work for people who are believed to be oppressed. So what happens is the oppressed groups just end up being the people no one believes are actually suffering.

I like the term part-time vegetarian. As a full-time vegetarian and part-time vegan, it has always been difficult to correct the confusion caused by people that say they're vegetarian and then eat fish or something similar.

'Part-time' encapsulates the intent nicely.
Real leather gives you a tactile feeling. Moreover, it reflects light differently than paper, whereas the light coming from pixels on a screen is equal in all but color.

I think there actually is a logic to the padding: on the left side, the left padding equals the top padding. On the right side, the right padding equals the top padding. The top padding differs between the two sides, hence the difference.
Even when some service allow registering using good 'ol email, some still refuses to accept any non gmail/outlook address. Met a service that wouldn't allow me to register using my own domain email address a week ago.

Purely for themselves, or also for entering the cloud infrastructure market. In this day and age if you are big enough (Apple surely is) and happen to have superior server hardware it wouldn't really make sense to sell that hardware, you'd rather keep it and rent it out.

It sounds to me like goodells is relating their experiences.

That's a very presumptuous thing to presume, when the person who actually has personal experience with the matter says that dispatch is notorious for misevaluating situations (surely through no fault of their own much of the time, since dispatch is not on the scene and can only relay what they've been told.)

....if there’s a real, imminent threat.

In some of these cases, it seems like the officers could have tried to de-escalate the situation while keeping these options in reserve in case that failed. The choices don’t have to be either immediate compliance or overwhelming force.

Even with animals—-where the use of drugs is a lot less ethically fraught—-ketamine isn’t necessarily the first option.

I much prefer Zulip's thread model to Slack's (it it bolt-on and poorly done: threads have no titles, they get lost in history as there is no way to list threads, and they are optional so people only use them some times), but I prefer Slack's UI to Zulip: in Zulip everything feels a bit 'tight' and too close together. Also the big outline box for keyboard navigation is distracting to me.

Seems like an interesting study in developer-driven design: in Zulip the mental model is much better, but the appearance of the UI isn't as nice.
Although it’s now quite common in the cuisine, did you know that chili peppers are not native to India and were brought into the country by Portuguese traders just over 500 years ago?

Ten Principles of Good Software Architecture
Anyone taken this workshop? Seems interesting, but I’d like to hear thoughts from someone who’s done it and is an experienced software engineer.
Even if it was the same price, it's better in every other metric.

It's cheaper because you can prefab parts that are otherwise not prefabbable due to the high weight of trains, and that require less maintenance due to not being exposed to the elements.

The entire german train system is build on crushed stone. With mechanically tensioned electrical lines that are in constant abrasive contact with the train. The main cost here is not the crushed stone, but the workforce required to set everything up.

Having the thing run as a highline with integrated contactless propulsion made from robotically mass produced segments, would be a lot cheaper, and a lot easier to maintain.

In theory you could even build the tune in a factory and just push it out, with each pylon containing a small pusher system. That way you can just produce it at the station and only need a groundgrew for the pylons and for alignment.

If you cover it with PV it'll even be energy net positive.

The price we save on CO2 and climate change alone would be worth it.

Do you think Intel can come back, or is Intel too dysfunctional/inefficient to recover?
It isn't, but it also is not a fix-all. They work for a very specific, narrow range of speeds and wave conditions. If that's not in your shipping route it's not helpful.
Or, host your own on your own metal, to avoid depending on any third party. Alternatively, if you are ok with semi-dependence on a third party, get a $5/mo Linux VPS, and host your E-mail there.

With your own Linux instance, you can host whatever you want, have full control, can host other services too like www, git, whatever, and have the assurance that you're not going to suddenly lose access because AI-BOT-204432 decided you violated some obscure terms of service. I've been doing this for close to a decade now (exim + dovecot for E-mail), and it works great. Back in the 90's, this used to be the default. How did we end up in this world where we so utterly rely on 3rd parties for such everyday critical Internet services?
Greater immigration has a direct impact on non-skilled labor, especially illegal immigration when your competitor pays people under the table.

This is especially true with the manufacturing class, which has watched foreign factories whittle and carve away at them for two decades.

I think the people who voted this way were definitely thinking of their economic position and not social position.

The article is discussing disruption as described in this book:

Just in time for the latest Hardcore History episode now out today
A lot of people point out “correlation is not causation” for studies like this; but to really internalize that point, I like to try to come up with reverse-causation hypotheses for the same data.

For example: what if people with any kind of chronic inflammation in their bodies (i.e. high disease load), are less able to tolerate spicy food?

I’m not saying this is a true or even likely hypothesis; just that it’s no less worthy of being considered as a hypothesis than “capsaicin promotes longevity” is; and so thinking about it can get you out of the frame of mind where reading a headline like the above one, makes you automatically internalize the headline as if “capsaicin promotes longevity” was what it said.
This isn't even a tech problem. It's a lack of regulation to give recourse for individuals and lack of ability for them to be treated fairly by businesses.

We need to treat companies that put themselves into a position like utilities as utilities. Give individuals actual transparency of why actions where taken, and an ability to appeal these decisions with transparency.

It will cost more, but that is ok. What we have now is that the actions have caused real harm and the companies are unwilling to justify them. That's an abuse that needs to be removed through law.

> Second, people living in those countries aren't buying US data plans at US prices are they? You don't live in the Congo but shop for your data plan at a California strip-mall, do you?

Ok, so what are these prices ?

That's $100/Go for 3G. (Which is still 10 times cheaper than my first data plan !) But I suspect that this website is directed to rich westerners, anyone from third world countries here that might shine a light on this issue ?
This was an explicit design goal of go.

I've generally assumed that the goal of the GoF (design patterns) was the same: with a canonical and prescribed set of ways of doing certain things you're less likely to get into trouble and and your code more likely to be understood by another reader.

While I believe the issue of cognitive overhead due to increased optionality (i.e. power in this case) the converse is also true: the additional expressive power of a language takes the place of an IDE and permits more compact code which can be easier to understand than the more diffuse and boilerplate-laden code of a less expressive language, where the scaffolding can obscure the place where the work is actually done.

> Every respectable service allows you to create accounts using your email address, so please use that method to create your accounts.

This is a major take-away, too. I have used this as a litmus test for a while. If a service requires you to log in via one of these third parties, and doesn't offer a "create an E-mail based account" option, stay away! They're not a serious business.

Or, even better, favor services/stores that don't require you to create an account.
I've also had good success with "forum".
And it was such an outstanding success! Intel's customers were able to get so much use out of it - it'll always be remembered as a high point in supercomputing.

Seriously - it was a resounding failure, even with Intel spending big bucks to convince this class of customers it was the future. There was little uptake and vast dissatisfaction with achieved results. IMHO I expect Xe to follow the same (very shallow) trajectory in HPC as in gamer graphics.

There is one remaining large machine (DUG "Bubba") using Xeon Phi and that's only an artifact of software tolerance combined with a _really_ great deal received on Intel's remaining "Knights Whatever" parts inventory.

Being a professional technologist (which is probably as far away as one could get from being a historian), it baffles me that the academic military history discipline is treated as said in the article —- war is still
being waged daily in the modern world, and in the very foreseeable future it will not end. Surely at least the military academies around the world would do serious studies on the past to predict the future wars, at bare minimum?
