Just take a step back and think about how absurd what you just said was.

After market mods aren't easy to do in any industry. We don't force Ford to support lifted F150s or aftermarket radios.

You're basically saying "This is a dog, and I'm mad its not a cat and it can't be easily changed." When you can just get, you know, a cat.
Obviously this is disgusting, but I'm curious -- if Disney claims it bought the rights but not the obligations of the contract, then who does it claim has the obligations?

I'm genuinely curious if George Lucas actually did agree, knowingly or not, to somehow sell Lucasfilm's assets but not it's obligations to Disney? (Even if this isn't actually enforceable.)

Are there actually legal grounds that royalties are owed by George Lucas or someone similar? Or is this just entirely inexplicably invented out of whole cloth by Disney?

Minor correction: the inclusion of the vectors is (a, b) ⇒ (0, a, b, 0), not (1, a, b, 0). Also, you have an inclusion of the scalars, which is x ⇒ (x, 0, 0, 0). And yeah, G^2 can't be projected back onto R^2 without losing a lot of information.

> what does a vector in G^2 actually represent?

If you can write a multivector x as the wedge product of k independent vectors (or equivalently, the geometric product of k orthogonal vectors), then x is called a k-blade. In this case, x has a very clear geometric interpretation:

* the magnitude of x is the volume of the parallelotope spanned by the vectors.

* the "direction" of x corresponds to the space spanned by the vectors — in concrete terms, that space is the set of vectors in R^2 that the map (v ⇒ v ∧ x) takes to zero.

* the "direction" also gives an orientation of the subspace. Orientations are defined indirectly: if you have two blades representing the same space, then they must be scalar multiples of one another. If that scaling factor is positive, then they have the same orientation, and if it is negative, then they have opposing orientations.

These three pieces of information are enough to uniquely identify x. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to go from there to interpreting other multivectors, which are sums of blades.

> If so, then in R^3 xy, xz any yz represent rotations in the respective planes?

Yes, xy represents rotation on the xy plane, as long as you apply it as described in the article.

> Which leaves a bonus puzzle: what does (multiplying with) xyz represent?

This one should be fairly easy to prove: it represents a kind of dualization, in which the space represented by mi = mxyz is the orthogonal complement of the space represented by m.

> We have to rely on some sort of proxy for the simplicity or elegance of the theory in order to preclude hypotheses like the above.

No, we don't. The rule that precludes your hypothesis is much simpler: the laws of physics don't change with time. That doesn't require the laws of physics to be "simple" or "elegant", and doesn't require anyone's subjective judgment about which laws of physics they think are more beautiful.
Booting something unsigned would remove the security anyway, wouldn't it?
I personally switched to Apple products because they more or less Just Worked and they prevented me from fiddling with them: the big issue with Android phones for me was that, since I would always root and mod them, they’d always fail at inopportune times: by making this sort of tinkering not an option, Apple phones are just more reliable for me (and, sure, this is partly my fault but, from my perspective, the locked-down status of iDevices is a feature that lets me treat them like appliances)

I rather like the idea, actually. I'll set up two LLCs. One will buy a copy of every Disney movie. It will sell the RIGHTS to use those movies to the other, but not the obligations. That second LLC can then make infinite copies of those movies and sell them for profit, legally, under Disney's interpretation.

nVidia is on its last legs, honestly. If this is the best they can come up with, forget it. What is the real world application/use case for this GPU? I doubt it would be used for autonomous driving - you could buy some cheap used Tesla P100s and toss them on a rack for a better price point IMO.
I've moved inside a business as the solo internal Dev. It has it challenges but I'm much happier. I'm no longer building software for hire I'm solving business problems with software. The management layer of having to fill out time sheets to every quarter hour is gone. Spending hours coming up with requirements docs no one reads is gone. Unrealistic deadlines still exists but they are more realistic. It's so much better. Maybe a change in roles would help

It sounds like you're fighting Tailwind instead of working with it. Are your designers aware of the presets and design with them in mind?

> You are funding the development of open source phones

You're funding a FOSS operating system and a phone with some security features. We already have dozens of open source mobile OS's, the hardware design is still proprietary. What's really needed is an open source baseband firmware and no one is funding that sadly.

Despite the baseband/cpu isolation I fear it still has a host of vulnerabilities up its sleeve. One AT command away from certain doom (yes that's sarcastic hyperbole with a sliver of truth)
I did like biology but at the time couldn't connect it with the impact the field creates in human living.

today I'm obsessed with understanding proteins because predicting protein structure, behaviour, interaction are really hard problems that would unlock huge medical advances if fully solved
This is absolutely the right thing to do and it's quite assuring to see they put out a clear cut support article for this so quick.

However without the specifications for the security chip, GPU, SoC - running an alternative OS on the M1 Macs is very much a no-go.

Apple could work closely with Microsoft to get Windows/ARM working on their ARM implementation but I am sure that's way more work than was Bootcamp. (Apple proprietary firmware is a big question and so are the various drivers obviously). This is why ARM is a mess that isn't worth dealing with even with better performance per watt.

What would be really great is if Apple did what Dell does - Make a downloadable Ubuntu ISO with drivers and firmware integration available that works as a fully functional alternative OS. Or make the h/w specs available so people can do the work themselves. I am well aware none of it will actually happen but nonetheless it would get more people to buy into what seems to be an excellent hardware platform.

That's not a scam; it's no different from buying a house on a mortgage. Paying down the debt sucks away your income, and maybe if you're not as successful as you'd hoped then you default and walk away. Generally companies only put themselves in that position if they're near-bankrupt already (certainly that's the case with Toys R Us - if it hadn't been for the private equity deal they'd have been bankrupt 5 years earlier).

Perl is slower, but has a ton of shortcuts (inspired by awk) to make common text processing tasks even easier. If you already know awk it may not be of much benefit. But CPAN makes it easy to scale up to a more robust program when needed.

I personally think it would be in Apple's interest to publish the information required for FOSS drivers or even assist with them. It would help them sell more Macs, but more importantly cement their dominance among developers.
Short answer: people have limited bandwidth and are forced to pick their battles.

Open your refrigerator, look in your closet. Can you say with certainty that you voted with your wallet by only supporting companies that adhere to your values? Today’s economy has too many interactions to have any confidence about how you vote with your wallet. In this case complexity, not religion, is the opiate of the masses.

Most people’s lives are too complex and busy to “start a co-op”. I know the counter argument is probably “then they obviously don’t care enough” but that’s the pragmatic answer

I'm 40.

This gives me hope for our species. I lost a very good, old friend several years ago because he was constantly on his phone. Several of us were home for Thanksgiving, which is a real rarity since we live all over the United States. We were all out to dinner and he just could not get off the phone, when I finally said, "Do you think its socially unacceptable to constantly be on your phone when we're all here together??"

He got extremely defensive, and very nasty. We haven't spoken since.

I can't tell you how great it is for me to see younger people realize how important it is to be in-the-moment with the people around you.

What exactly is bootcamp if you don't install windows? I know I need it to dual-boot my mac with linux but it's not clear why.

This is incorrect and illustrates the parent’s point. There is a sincerely held belief that a subset of the people who had the means, motive, and opportunity to influence the results in key districts may have succumbed to the temptation. This is actually the more rational position as far as I can tell. So, a lot of people are looking at anything that may prove or disprove this. This is in no way unlike what the democrats do. It’s still a common belief that the 2000 election was stolen, and academics were analyzing it even years after. Also, Trump lost by fewer votes than Abrams did, and that’s still a conspiracy theory in the left. It seems odd to me that so many folks on the left don’t realize how similar they are.

Are you engaging honestly? Or are you just assuming bad faith?

The dangerous territory is acting as though legitimate questions and inquiry is dangerous territory. Many of us in tech have had election security concerns for like a decade. We set up voting machines for kids to hack at defcon.

Of course, there are loud Q anon types on twitter throwing out all kinds of crap. Most of them are actually sincere as well, even though we know better and it seems silly. But those voices aren’t representative of the legitimate concerns.

I asked my wife, who hates Trump, if she was tasked with reporting a vote total in a crucial district, and she had the opportunity to plausibly fudge the numbers such that it would change the outcome, would she “do the right thing” and save us from another 4 years of Trump?

She said yes without hesitation. Somehow, I don’t think she is the only person who thinks that way. That doesn’t mean that someone cheated, but only a fool would take their word for it. With so much on the line, it’s in everyone’s best interest to get more certainty. We already know that voter fraud happens routinely, and even enough to swing elections. Especially in Philadelphia. We also know that humans make mistakes. In most elections, mistakes are a rounding error that is below the noise floor. In a tight race, a few mistakes can change the outcome.

You’re better off letting them look and find nothing than shout them down and say “nothing to see here!”. As part of this process, a lot of irregularities are going to be found that appear suspicious, and most are going to have benign explanations after they are investigated. That doesn’t make it bad faith.

They have already found several errors and thousands of ballots on memory cards that they “forgot” to upload. Ensuring that these were isolated incidents only makes sense.

I too struggle to understand this kind of thinking. Our society says bullshit like, "Kids are our greatest resource!" but we know that's pure horseshit because if it was true, we'd rearrange our lives and society around them. We don't.

By the government subsidizing milk production you are in a small way,via taxes, supporting the dairy industry. If you're vegan for health reasons I assume you don't care, but if you are for ethical reasons I think that should make you a bit uneasy.

The "all" feed is sorted by most-recently-updated-first (this is part of the OPDS standard), so instead of tail -r you should pipe to sort.
They're still the same animal though (e.g. a butterfly caterpillar vs a moth caterpillar). The only distinction, which is specific to this case, is that the words caterpillar and butterfly imply a stage of development where the word human does not, making it a poor analogy. I just want people to stop trying to change the definition of words for the sake of perception.

> "Unions can be nativist but a tech union shouldn't have to be just because another labor union might've been."

There is no "might have been". It's pretty much a matter of historical record that labor unions were fiercely anti-immigrant.

Judging by nativist comments even on a heavily moderated forum like HN whenever the topic of H1-Bs comes up, the many, many immigrants in the tech industry would be have to be bonkers to trust that a tech union wouldn't become nativist.

If that were true, I couldn't just write some C, Rust, or Go code on my mac, compile it myself, and run the executable file because it's not signed?

There's got to be a way (developer mode?) to disable this, right?

Every game on a modern console runs under the system OS, there's a hypervisor and dedicated CPU/RAM resources, etc. You can run actual games in that environment and the performance allocation is documented. Certainly for professional-grade stuff you don't want to be in that environment but it definitely works.

You're right about the dev mode toggle, which is unfortunate. I'd like to see barriers like that go away, and it wouldn't be appropriate on productivity hardware. I don't have any expert inside information on this but I suspect it's an absolute requirement from game studios that don't want side-loaded apps being used to cheat or exfiltrate content - I think that shouldn't require a hard reboot of the console but maybe it's similar to the situation Riot has arrived at with Valorant where they demand full kernel-level control over your system from boot to determine whether you are trying to cheat at their games or not.
