> Multiplication of all three basis vectors (e1^e2^e3) produces a three-dimensional volume segment or trivector, with unit cubed volume. This trivector has some peculiar properties that represent the scale of the whole space, it is often called the pseudoscalar of the space, I, it performs the function of the imaginary number i, but extended into three dimensions. Multiplication by the trivector represents a 90 degree turn in all three dimensions. Therefore two such 90 degree turns in each of the three dimensions results in a total reversal of direction, which is equivalent to a simple negation, and thus I2 = -1.
This is entirely ignoring the value third party developers bring to Apple's platforms. I'd argue Apple has hugely benefited from a robust selection of third party apps available via the App Store, and the quality and diversity of apps on that store has been a core part of the value proposition for their hardware.
"we just need to make sure nice people are involved in geopolitics and make it to the top"

Those are the hard problems in your prescription.

-No easy way to test and identify (reliably and at scale) for trustworthiness.

-Not all nice/trustworthy people stay that way over time, especially for long periods of time and as their opportunities/environment/outlook change.

-Notions of trustworthiness vary across people and peoples.

-Positions/nodes of power attract people who want power -- trustworthy or not. Often not.
There's a considerable difference between galleries holding physical goods with extremely limited space and needing to curate things for a specific market, and one of the largest corporations to ever exist approving software to sell on a virtually limitless marketplace for every niche and need imaginable.

You could also update the Tailwind config file to define what "text-7xl" is. Default is "4.5rem"
I'm not a physicist so if I got anything wrong, please correct me.

The problem is that information conservation is a fundamental part of quantum mechanics. QM is a hugely successful theory which has proven itself to be accurate to absolutely incredible precision.

The black hole information paradox implies that there is no way for information to escape the black hole, breaking conservation of information.

The implications of this is huge: Either information can escape a black hole, which suggests general relativity is wrong. Or information cannot escape a black hole, in which case QM is wrong.

So the key to coming up with a solution to this problem is to explain what happens without breaking physics. One suggestion have been that the information actually never enters the black hole in the first place, it's just spread out over the surface of the event horizon.
Your definition is not common to the market. Users can’t possibly anticipate whether the phone will provide acceptable performance when it reaches this ‘100%’ state. The devices are reviewed based on as new performance. The device provides adequate performance for some time, subsequently stops providing adequate performance, without notifying the user that there’s a way to restore acceptable performance. This is extremely user hostile behaviour.

I would literally rather my phone started randomly turning itself off at 30% power. At least that way I might take it for repair, have the reason diagnosed, and get it restored to acceptable performance, rather than simply assuming that software has moved on and I have to live with a slow device or purchase a new one.
I went to public school in Australia, there was a lot of memorization, I can remember my tests were always big on making us label diagrams (here's a kidney match the words with arrows, now do it for the liver, now do it for the heart) etc. But we also did some experimental stuff in Biology. Which at least was memorable to me.

Aside from the ever present dissections I can remember one notable experiment in year 11 involving Agar-Gel plates, we took swabs from various places around our school (Taps in the bathroom, Classroom door handle, AC Vents etc) and incubated the plates and compared what sort of bacteria was found and whereabouts.
I appreciate the detailed response, my reaction to this is: you are much like a climate-change denier that has moved from the position "climate change isn't real" to "ok, it is real but we can't do anything about it" to "we can do something but it is just too hard and too expensive" .. deep down in their heart I think such folks just never accepted that it is real.

The fact of the matter is that we have plenty of evidence from around the world that suppression is possible and practical and doesn't cost nearly as much as the economic costs of letting the virus run rampant. Pretending that demographics is important in the success of Vietnam when Japan has the worst demographics in the world next to maybe Italy is.. well.. you know the word I would be reaching for!

The arguments about "blowing goodwill" are mostly overturned by the evidence that we actually have of high compliance in very restrictive regimes. "We can't impose China-style lockdowns" is immediately undermined by the Australian lockdowns that were both politically bold (in the face of domestic political resistance from federal politicians!) and extreme but very effective and enjoyed popular support.. in the home country of the owner of the leading anti-lockdown propagandist of the world! (Not to mention Italy & France imposing lockdowns for extended periods that were never approached in scale anywhere in the US and were not a problem.)

Both-sides-ism is silly. If at this point you can't concede that the "left" (if you accept that framing) was mostly right you are not paying attention to the results. In the "blue" jurisdictions that are struggling the issues arise from popular "business-friendly" Democrats undermining health advice. One side of the US political spectrum is wildly irresponsible and the other is not, don't pretend otherwise.

> "Metrics for reopening should have been clear from the start and based entirely upon hospital capacity"
I mean, sure, but that is a condemnation of your earlier positions as expressed then in real time, right?
This sort of ties into your assessment of the media, it doesn't really have anything to do with your opinions about the virus or appropriate responses.

If you think the situation in "Europe" right at this moment is the same as "the US" it seems like you might be misinformed. Finland and Norway are in a much different position than France and Belgium, who are in a different position than the Czech Republic. But all of them are in a better position than Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota. The idea that starting a 2nd or 3rd wave from a lower base is a bad idea seems kind of deranged.

I think you think of yourself as a realist but there is lots of evidence that you have underestimated what is possible as well as the capacity of human nature to do what's right. The information is out there, just look at it.

ETA: "- Mitigation would include targeted restrictions based upon age risk"
We've got mountains of evidence that letting the virus run in younger populations endangers older people, that just doesn't work.
This post inspired me to look around the neighborhood and fix up all the broken stores. Tools have improved greatly since I was here... 10 years ago!
There has to be some incentive to take up these cases.

I imagine the success rate and frequency of prevailing against Apple in court is quite low.
I guess I should cancel my Disney+ and mention this. I never use it anymore anyway.
That's really cool to hear, that's something I've been a bit confused about since I have to actually dive in to Tailwind. I was unsure how much control you could have from pre-defined classes, but it sounds like it's enough.
So Googleplex?
It seems pretty straightforward what breck is claiming, I'm astonished at the incomprehension and downvotes.

Breck has said, plainly, that the author is welcome to write a book and sell copies (on robot kittens or otherwise). Or accept money for writing a book, or offer money to write a book, with or without selling copies.

Breck has also claimed that it is unethical for the author to attempt to control what purchasers of that book do with those copies, e.g. make copies of their own and sell them. Relatedly, they claim that it's unethical to profit off of someone else enforcing such control.

In modern legal systems, if that purchaser sells copies, likely the author will ask the government to exercise their monopoly on violence to stop the copier, claiming that the copier violates "copy right", the right to control copying. Breck is saying that it is unethical for the government to stop this copying, and unethical for the author to ask the government to do so. This is a very coherent and reasonable position, though you may reasonably disagree.

From this, breck reasons that if ADF has a contract with Disney that, to make any sense at all, requires that copyright be enforced, then defaults on this rogue's contract are not breck's ethical business, and thus breck is not sad that the contract is being violated. Much as breck would not be sad on the carpenter's behalf if the mob boss didn't pay his licensing fee, because the whole contract between the mob boss and the carpenter is (according to breck) unethical.

Apple's market cap is $2 Trillion. Apple settling for $113M is like someone worth $2 million settling for $113. I don't think anyone at Apple is losing any sleep over this.

This makes zero sense.

All I'm getting out of your comment is it's bad because it makes fewer people hate Apple.

Again... I still see plenty of room for improvement by Apple. Just failing to see how "Pay more to Indies" is bad.

Their goal/feature/product, whatever you want to call it, is to create something secure enough that grandpa can’t get tricked into getting owned. Anything at all that allows people to disable security becomes an immediate threat for that type of user. If the side effect is that they prevent people from jailbreaking then so be it because they have no desire or obligation to support those users.
Never had a blue screen. Haven’t had the power off problem though there is a distinction between regular sleep and deep sleep. When coming out of deep sleep it boots up like normal and restores RAM from disk. Don’t have a touch screen but have the highest end, non-touch 4K screen Lenovo offered. They also offered a very good HD screen and a not so good 4K screen. Display is not as good as on a Mac but this is more a Windows problem than a hardware problem. If color calibration is an issue, you could have had them calibrate it for you for 25 bucks when you ordered it. I believe Lenovo support can send someone to calibrate later on too for a somewhat higher fee.
"I'm very lucky that I get to learn about genetics through osmosis..."

I see what you did there.

But...is the genetics knowledge the solute or the solvent, because, well, you know (teaching biology to my homeschooled kid at the moment and we just did a unit on diffusion and osmosis, so please excuse my current state of mind)
> Let's not forget that Apple moved to ARM Macs not only for increased profit but also to exert even more control over Mac

This is conspiracy theory at this point. The benchmarks showing the performance and battery-life improvements are a logical explanation to why they moved to their ARM chips.

>but I don't think a site like e.g. HN or pornhub are the types of sites people are talking about when they refer to those problems.

Yes, when people talk about those problems, they're usually only referring to two or three sites (Twitter, Facebook and maybe Youtube) but those sites don't comprise all of social media. The issue is discussing "social media" as an entity rather than recognizing that the cultures and implementations of social media differ between platforms. Social media is just an umbrella term for any site that allows users to create and share content. And it exists on a spectrum, with simple forums and imageboards on one end to the complex, algorithmically driven big three at the other.

Otherwise, one could say that Pornhub could implement literally every feature that exists on Facebook and yet somehow still not be "social media" for no other reason than discussions of social media tending not to include Pornhub. The features are what make it social media.
Can we at least agree that this is 50% less bad. Or perhaps 25% less bad? 10%?

Ultimately the impression I get from posts like yours is some people just think whatever Apple does is bad regardless of how it affects others.
>iPhones have strict shutdown temperatures for both cold and heat. (which make them useless in many outdoor work environments)

Absolutely, I'm in the middle of Saskatchewan where it can get down to -40 and this was my biggest gripe with some of my old iPhones. Weirdly enough my BlackBerries (including my Key2!) managed a bit better. Only major issue I noticed was that capacity would rise when coming into a warmer environ. The Titan seems to be faring pretty well so far this winter, but it also is more battery then phone.

Was always funny walking in and having my phone restart, just to shutdown though.
would that turn into mob justice though?
China-state-funded hack hits companies around the world, report says
Thank you to my hidden followers from YHacker: this one is for you
Let's imagine it's a electric car. The car goes 70mph when you buy it. Suddenly it only runs at 45mph. You want to buy a new battery to fix it but the car company refuses even though you're willing to pay.

Why should you have to put up with a car that only goes 45mph when it went 70mph when you bought it?

What part of this is hard to understand. I don't want a phone that runs slow.
Globals are idiomatic in all scripting languages except python.

You don’t define a function called main, then manually invoke it at the bottom of your bash, perl, etc... script. In python, you do, partially because there is a severe performance penalty for not doing that.

it's an oversupply relative to demand:

- lots of washout MDs

- lots of students who wanted to postpone adulthood by getting a PhD (master's are just not respected anymore)

- lots of PhDs who couldn't hack the academic game or got disillusioned by it and are used to low salaries because postdocs exploit the high-stakes attempt to get social cachet of professorships.

- few jobs. Biology is a capital-intensive endeavour, so each dollar of VC can do marginally less.

- it's hard to tell the wheat from the chaff in the labor market (and there's probably a market of lab lemons, too), so a superstar's earning potential is necessarily hamstrung
Yeah, you are right I am sure the NSA/CIA will let us know when they decide to do it.

This report [1] suggests that HRVs only actually have a net energy savings in the US in climate zones 4-8 (and such a small amount in zone 4 that it would take several decades to break even).

Is there a good reason to get them if one is in a place where they won't save energy?

Here's a US climate zone map [2].

I'll tell you something about memorizing phyla, orders, families, genera, and species. If you've never had exposure to any of that, it might seem arbitrary. But now, go out in the woods and try and identify species you see. You can start with birds and mammals because they are the easiest.

As you begin to do so, you can keep a record of them in a spreadsheet or notebook. Look up their biological classifications. All of a sudden the classification system will start to make sense, and help you understand the diversity of the organisms around you.

Biology is one of those subjects where part of the context comes from being outdoors and trying to understand ecological relationships yourself. You don't have to get to the level of a pro biologist, but there is so much you can find out by experiencing nature and trying to understand the basics that anyone can do it.
You’re not required to use them though, as I just explained. What you can’t do is write to memory and then execute it, because that’s a security risk.
Apple's net profit margin is around 23% including hardware and everything else they do. Their app store margins are dramatically higher, possibly as much as 90%. A gallery's 40-50% commission translates to 0-50% margin after expenses and they do much more for you - exposure.

I like how tax brackets are in India.

> No- the UK enters a WTO agreement on the 1st jan, that means imports taxes, duties and restrictions on a whole bunch of things

The WTO's goal is to reduce trade friction, hence it puts ceilings on duties. The UK (now) sets its own taxes, duties and restrictions, being part of the WTO does not affect that. As a service dominated economy it's in the UK's interests to lower protective barriers - setting tariffs to zero would be of a net benefit to the UK. You'll note that the UK is a founding member of the WTO, its trade either side of the deadline will not violate any WTO protocol. Standards (ironically) will also be entirely in alignment with the EU. Processes will not change either as there already exist processes for handling non-EU trade.

The places where import taxes, duties and restrictions will change is exports into the EU, hence the desire for a trade agreement.

> It’s impossible to plan for because it can all change at the last minute.

No physical processes will change. Numbers on a spreadsheet may do.

> It’s easy to say nothing will change if it doesn’t affect you.

Yet you argue that people shouldn't have been allowed a say, and it will force you to argue that it doesn't affect most people while trying to maintain that an unimaginable doom will be brought on <checks notes> the entire UK population.

Pick one or the other but to maintain both is absurd.

> I don’t understand why a trade agreement with a few extra bits of international legislation

Those "few extra bits of international legislation" include massive changes to the UK constitution. The same lament could be said about entering into the Lisbon Treaty without a referendum (or, even better, a single issue general election), among many other changes that led to a vote where people got to show their frustration about not being consulted or even listened to previously.

> was put to a general public referendum

It was put to a referendum because those in power thought it would kill the thing dead, and the alternative was seeing a political party (UKIP) get seats in Westminster, if not usurp one of the major parties. It was only a combination of electoral fraud (in Farage's case) and the first past the post system (in the party's case) that kept them out of Westminster, that wouldn't have occured again, as the referendum result shows.

> It’s got nothing to do with the average joe on the street

Again, please, be serious.

> the general public has no understanding of this.

The choice is simple, give up sovereignty for access to a large trade bloc. That's not hard for anyone with an IQ above 85 to understand. The minutiae and ramifications are much harder but the UK is a representative democracy, not an Athenian democracy of the kind that might allow the kind of condescending sneer at the plebs you are partaking in.

I think that a private company making their own hardware product should be allowed to control what third parties get access to their hardware and should be allowed to charge whatever they like for it, and the market will decide whether or not there is any demand for it.
