Why were even Zuckerberg and Dorsey there? It seems like it should be a debate within the senate - they clearly cannot do anything but complain, whatever FB/Twitter does. They'd need to agree between themselves on something first, then they can talk to the social media companies (who were now just in a useless crossfire).

Maybe try reading some travel/adventure related fiction. I am currently reading "The Lord of the Rings", and while it doesn't satisfy the wanderlust 100%, it definitely helps.

I also tried researching some more books that are travel related that I am planning to read next:

* Rita Golden Gelman - Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the World

* Douglas Adams - Last Chance to See

* Italo Calvion - Invisible Cities

* Rolf Potts - Vagabonding

h264 decoding in kernel in 5.11 isn't that too late? My 12y/o laptop can decode h264 in hardware what's the point of adding that in the kernel in 2020?

DuckDuckGo is a mirage and should not be used by privacy-conscious folks. Take a look at its terms of service, information collected section:

"We also save searches, but again, not in a personally identifiable way, as we do not store IP addresses or unique User agent strings. We use aggregate, non-personal search data to improve things like misspellings."

So they save your web searches and claim that they do so in an non-personally identifiable way. The privacy problems with this claim are many, even if one accepts it at face value (good luck verifying that this is the case).

The data is useless without comparing it to the same period a year ago. People already move in and out of (and within) San Francisco a lot, especially in summer months. Are there a significant number of extra moves this year? Are there fewer people moving in to SF than normal?

And even if there is a major disparity, the big question is how many of those households intend to stay away for good.
Funny That everybody is just talking about RAM and not the fact that the M1 has double the number of cores than the intel i7 also with higher performance. That makes the decision even more complicated

Can you explain any further? i'm interested to know the nuance.
There are plenty of examples of unpopular rules successfully enforced, from school integration to the War On Drugs. The lack of mask/distancing enforcement is purely government cowardice and indifference. They could do it if they wanted to.

Publicly fire a few county bumpkin Sheriffs who refuse to enforce the mandates and you'd see an attitude change.
New idea: perhaps it would be cost effective to pay liberal-leaning voters to move from SF and NYC into the rural red-state districts?

To me, it feels entirely different if you—as a user are aware of what is popular because you have chosen to see it ranked as so.

Will it be gamed? Yes.

But you might be able to as a user suspect that people are trying to game the system with fake votes.

What is undeniable though is that because you as a user are making a choice to see the popularity, you are much more cognizant that something might be at play. Popularity—despite its flaws—is still a good signal and a great place to begin critical thinking if you’re aware that you’re choosing to view it through the popularity lens.
Yup, which is exactly why this is in the kernel and not just a userspace library. The kernel is how programs interface with hardware.

I see this perspective a lot on social media and I think it just adds to the corona response culture shock. No one ever seems to understand each other better when this is brought up.

People seem to always assume/project the other party is controlled by high levels of anxiety around using masks when in reality I see most people know that distancing/masks are a risk mitigation technique (NOT a one-stop-fix, but a risk mitigation) used to bring virus spread rate down and flatten the curve. Instead of being an emotionally charged subject, I think most people see distancing/masks as a tool to reduce the spread of the virus so that we can go out more often as opposed to taking no mitigations and contributing to exponential rates of virus spread.

With this perspective, I think feeling violated by people avoiding masks is a healthy, normal response. It's not about feeling anxious for going outside, but that we have been violated by people spreading the virus to others causing us to have to extend the lockdown and keep our economy dead in order to not over-burden the hospitals.

Heck, having a president who says masks are important and is seen wearing one in public most of the time and not saying things like "you can wear a mask if you want to, me personally, I'm not going to" would go a long, long way.

However, I'm afraid that the cat is already out of the bag and many weak minds have been poisoned that wearing a mask somehow infringes rights or doesn't do anything.
What a nonsensical article
Absent anything else, I think 10% population drop is fairly significant. I guess we'll see in the city budget next year. Interestingly, because of the rapid growth in the city population over the last decade, this just puts it at 2010 numbers.
You can guarantee universal healthcare (and medication) without top-down control of pricing, or at least not total control. Most drugs aren't making headlines, so you can control the x% that matter while still getting cheaper prices for most consumers by letting the outlets compete.

Your website suggests you are American, so I recommend taking a look at the various healthcare systems on display in Europe, they're not all made equally (i.e. Some do more on behalf of their citizens than most). In my experience of watching American discussing healthcare in the EU, the subtleties are often lost, sadly.

I know what the legal and colloquial definitions of a monopoly are. It obviously needs to change. I cannot fathom how one company with all these varied interests and capabilities are somehow "good for consumers", which is exactly the spirit of anti-trust law.

At one point in American history we were far too loose and reckless with what a monopoly was defined as. Now, nothing is a monopoly. I can't imagine how this is much better.
Actually a significant power, maybe around 20 W, is consumed by the I/O chip, which consumes a lot because it is made in an old process.

In 2021, when the laptop Zen 3 will be introduced, that will have a much better power efficiency, being made all in 7 nm.

Of course, it will still not match the power efficiency of M1, which is due both to its newer 5-nm process and to its lower clock frequency at the same performance.
It's a hardware decoder.

Yeah but as an investor why would you buy this stock, and at which price level if so? My point of view is that of an investor - how would I know if they're compounding up or down. Is it a zero? Is it great? All you're saying is "trust the management".

I am not saying they're doing a bad job, I am merely saying that it looks difficult to tell. Remember, the management has a huge incentive to sell you the stock regardless of the future value of the business, it's your job to figure out if it is a good idea.
The whole “just be 6 feet away and it can’t get to you” is not reality, despite what the CDC or WHO says. Sure, keeping 6 feet apart helps reduce exposure compared to being 2 feet apart, but droplets containing the virus don’t all just magically hit the ground within that radius. Ventilation of fresh air is critical because of the buildup of aerosols that occurs indoors: https://english.elpais.com/society/2020-10-28/a-room-a-bar-a... I’ll be blunt. Restaurants are not a good idea right now; when people are eating and talking they are filling the air with spit, and you can’t wear a mask while eating. And even with masks, prolonged exposure indoors without any fresh air will expose many if one person in the room is contagious.

Masks are one additional piece—and truly one of the easiest measures—to reduce overall exposure. It’s been well established that even basic masks significantly reduce the amount of aerosols emitted as we talk, so when I’m in a grocery store surrounded by others, I do feel unsafe if people aren’t wearing masks, because it means far more of their airborne spit emitted when they breathe, talk, cough, or sneeze is reaching my eyes and lungs than if they would just wear a simple, cheap surgical mask. Medical personnel don’t wear masks for the hell of it; they wear them because it substantially reduces the amount of transmission, and does provide some small amount of protection to the wearer versus wearing nothing.

I don’t even blame people for coming to the conclusion that masks don’t need to be worn. The science has gotten much clearer over the past year and yet our governmental leaders have not only failed to accurately convey what we’ve learned, but have actually lost the trust they may have had. It’s no wonder people are confused about what works to reduce risk and what doesn’t, and how significant the risks are, when our leaders fist told us masks only protect doctors, then told us we could stop the spread with short, poorly enforced lockdowns that maximized economic harm without sufficiently quarantining the population, and now are telling everyone to wear a mask without properly acknowledging that aerosols are a major mechanism for superspreader events.
Thee is an important difference between C++ and Rust: C++ tried to play the game by being a superset of C (even started as a precompiler to C) and many C programs are valid C++ (well, many C programs aren't valid C, let's ignore that here) Thus C++ always carries C's legacy along so that there is always the C way of doing things, and then the C++ way of doing things. Rust cut that part of, while allowing to call C functions.

The worst recession in recent history? I regard 2008 as recent, and as a recession, this is definitely not worse than that was.

I'm curious who or what the end goal of GoodRx is. They pay for expensive ($$$$$$) cloud anti-bot/anti-scraping, captcha you after a few requests if you run adblock, they pay for extensive browser/device (attempting to reidentify a user across multiple devices/multiple browsers) fingerprinting services and Fastly. The site loads a dozen trackers, googletagmanager, branch, segment, what are they doing with this data? How much money are they spending handing out coupons?

The coupons aren't unique or require a login, why go through all of this? All the services they use are "request demo / contact us for enterprise pricing", not free-to-sign-up SaaS either. Just who is paying for all this and with what?

While I tend to agree with the idea of colonizing a planet as similar as Earth as possible, I also think the barrenness of Mars actually simplifies logistics.

On Venus, you have to deal with high temperatures, acid rain, the bigger gravity well, and the ever-present danger of your floating city falling down. On Mars there's a lot less of everything, but ruling out a meteor, the things you have to deal with are gentler. Not even a dust storm would kill you if it caught you outside in your spacesuit, as it would feel like a breeze.

I personally believe that digging itself into a hole (and eventually climbing back up) is the status quo for Humanity. It has been done multiple times before, and doubtlessly it will continue to be the case once our current trials are nothing but fading footnotes in some ancient history book.

With that in mind, I don't think it is healthy for a child to grow up believing Humanity is fixable or, even worse, that it is their destiny and their duty to fix it.

Yes. If factories can hike prices, then they can recoup their investments faster. Right now there's little incentive for them to invest into expanding capacity, because the demand eventually dies down, and they never see a return on the sums they invested.

Rust has a terrible, verbose syntax and solves a problem that is a non issue in many applications where C shines while making ordinary things difficult (like recursive data structures).

I am sure it has its place but I think it's just too ugly to be attractive. There is something pleasing about writing C, Python or even Javascript which you will never get with Rust. It will never be a language a lot of people enjoy writing imo.

> 3. Get a table indoors

Keep in mind that restaurants are at significantly reduced capacity and those tables are now more widely spread apart.

These guidelines mean you are much less likely to share airspace with strangers. Yes, it's not as safe as not going to a restaurant at all, but they are trying to balance mitigating risk while allowing some economic activity. It's a hard problem.

The last time I drove through central Washington, I saw crowds of people clustered together at the front of restaurants with no masks on. I don't see that here. People generally stay spread out and wear masks when around strangers.

> This sort of pandemic theater is why cases are at an all-time high here

This kind of black-and-white "if you aren't being 100% safe you're just doing pandemic theater" rhetoric helps absolutely nothing.

> why cases are at an all-time high here.

Still better here than in much of the US, despite being the first outbreak, being on lockdown longer than most of the US (and thus with the most pandemic fatigue).
Any servo developers arround ? I remember reading that a lot of CSS layout problems stem from having to support legacy stuff like floats etc that complicates reflow etc.

> However, I'm afraid that the cat is already out of the bag and many weak minds have been poisoned that wearing a mask somehow infringes rights or doesn't do anything.

Negative belief in at least the current reality of the pandemic (if not the historical reality of the disease itself), as well as in mitigation measures like masking, has become an important tribal identity marker. That's going to be difficult to counteract, and probably doesn't work on a rational level (that is, even if you could convince someone that the overt rationale was wrong, that would be more likely to prompt a shift in rationalization than a shift in belief.)
I wonder -- would you say that you write more formally than you speak (on average, context aside)?

I'm always super curious about how someone's method of learning a second language impacts the way they use that language. My casual hypothesis is that what you read while learning impacted how you write, while what you listened to affected how you speak -- do you find that to be true?
> The 4800u on 5nm is only going to be marginally better.

This is definitely not true. We already know Zen 3 is +20% IPC over Zen 2 on the same process at the same power. So add 20% to the 4800U without changing anything else as a starting point.

Then toss in the process improvements from 5nm (which TSMC says is either 15% faster or 30% less power) as well as any further architectural improvements that AMD is doing in Zen 4 and there's going to be a very significant gap between the 4800U and AMD's 5nm 6800U or whatever they end up calling it.
This can be really useful for decoding multiple video chat streams.
Sure, at this point various groups want very specific accommodations to "patch" specific perceived problems. But I think it's pretty clear that the overall problem is the algorithms which boost the distribution of certain kinds of content. Yes, conservatives get upset if posts are removed or flagged as inaccurate, but I don't think liberals would deem that necessary if it weren't the case that every doctored video that fits a conservative political agenda gets distributed to millions of people instantly. (Feel free to swap "conservative" and "liberal" in that previous sentence with whatever you like, the particular groups aren't important to my argument.)
Since most states have had public nudity laws on the books for many decades that haven't been struck down as unconstitutional, I don't see how regulations requiring masks in a time of pandemic would be a problem.

Natural rights are a social fiction and have as much or as little power as we believe they have. You appear to have a strong belief in them, but their power is limited by how much you can convince others to believe.

Currently live in Chicago, visited San Fran a few months ago. It's eerily and completely dead. Like no-cars-no-people-no-life-at-all-dead. Compared to Chicago where there are thousands of people going about their day (walking, biking, driving).

SF is much more low rise though. Could just be all the commuters that no longer commute that contributed to the feeling of... apocalypse.
