Disclaimer: I'm a software guy

Another source of cracking could be related to moisture in the SMD components. We do primarily small volume PCB runs where I work. In house, with parts stored here, pick-and-placed here, etc. We have had components crack as well, and I recall one of the suspicions being the source of the components. They were a supposedly reliable supplier, but components from them failed more often than those from another supplier so we stopped getting parts from them.

I am not sure if resistors are as prone to humidity effects, but if plastic parts are not humidity controlled before going into a reflow oven, they are prone to cracking. Even as a software guy, I have seen several brand new boards with cracked components on them over the last 15 years. Often the cracked components are difficult to find, since they are so small and do not fail completely (they are just off by a wide margin.)

Because being anti-LGBT is morally wrong, that's why. It has nothing to do with legality or with freedom of expression.

I really don't understand how we can start equating LGBT rights with outright hate speech.

Yes! After using MacBook Pro for almost a decade, I moved back to Linux for my laptop two years ago. I installed the Manjaro i3 image and I was expecting that it will take almost a week to tweak the settings so that all the hardware works and was pleasantly surprised that everything worked out of the box (everything other than fingerprint scanner but that was a known limitation).
Haha absolutely true !

This is clearly untrue.

You were customizing the BK to each specific task. You were also customizing the stepping stones for each specific task.

Justifications can come later. At least admit that you customized the BK for each problem instance and prior to doing so the solver did not solve the problem asked.

Not responding to the rest since you've missed my entire point and I don't feel like rephrasing it.
Variable sized arrays are supported all the way back to 1978 K&R C and earlier, with dynamic allocation and pointer arithmetic. You just don't have nice syntax for managing them. You can implement a decent Lisp in C.

The bullshit about C/C++ is immediately preceded by a claim that everything in "LISP" is represented by lists at the lowest level, which is in contrast with other languages that have fixed arrays, like C/C++.

The people who wrote this garbage paper were not properly familiar with Lisp, C or C++.
That's very naive. Facebook works very closely with governments and have big interests that may coincide with some despot interest. Which means they are in a position to silence opposition as a favor for some government.
Yeah, I hate to throw anecdata around, but I didn't even know it existed for the Mac. Is Edge 'built in' to some other product, so it scores points on a technicality?
I would say that Facebook is similar to a 18th century tavern. It's a place where people meet and talk. Fortunately for 18th century humans, there were many pub owners who exercised varying degrees of control over the activities of their patrons. Some banned radical politics, and some did not. In our present era of concentrated control, we have a small handful of pubs controlled by a similarly small number of wealthy oligarchs.

Recall that the Green Dragon tavern was the unofficial headquarters of the American revolution.

Yeah. I wouldn't go anywhere near Myanmar for love or money. And it isn't Facebook's role in the world to be stepping in and trying to stabilise that sort of thing, nor is it their role to take sides in Myanmar elections.

I think there is historical precedent in the East India Company for companies actually putting boots on the ground when they want a country stabilised for their economic interests. There are a lot of ways things can go wrong when companies are encouraged to decide who should and shouldn't be in charge.

I agree, to an extent. I've always defended private property rights to the utmost. The difficulty is that the government is now so heavily involved in the military-industrial complex and now something like a military-social complex and regulating as well as benefiting in massive ways from private industry. In some ways, the mega corporations are becoming blurred extensions of government and start to do the dirty work of government. I think this has become a way for the government to get around restrictions and Constitutional principles by simply using private corporations to infringe on rights which they heavily influence. This is becoming a major issue for preserving rights, since some rights are becoming meaningless in private when you can't go outside or associate or even start a competitor because of the regulation landscape. Other rights are infringed "just enough" to discourage competition, then the large players get cajoled into doing what is desired.

But to correct that, my preferred solution would be to eliminate corporations entirely. Eliminate the power structures that allow such massive accumulation of wealth and power and the legal protections that let people think they are not personally responsible. The legal framework would need to adjust, but I think society would find itself massively improved when personal responsibility and rights were restored.

> Do you know of any publicly traded companies that split out IT in their financials?

No, you'd have to be familiar with their internal practices. But let's be honest, you're just being pedantic now. It's fairly obvious from the outside which companies are "tech" companies.

> Do you consider Apple, which builds consumer electronics (e.g. hardware engineering) a tech company?

First of all, about 25% of their revenue comes from software services, and iPhone is the only segment with more sales. More than 1/2 of their profit (because the gross margins are much higher) come from software services, so Apple is probably a bad example.

But yes, of course they are a tech company. One of the first.

It's bizarre to me that the government seems to expect Facebook to regulate speech, particularly around the election, when no matter what they do on that front, one party will accuse them of bias.

I really wish that when Zuck was at the hearing about this, he had just said something along the lines of, "We want people to be able to post things that are true and not post things that are false. The problem is even you people in the Senate can't agree on what's true, so instead you're trying to make us, a private company, the arbiter of what's acceptable to say as it relates to US elections. Doesn't that seem insane to you? Let's do this - you guys form a bipartisan committee of Facebook truth deciders. When there's controversy over whether a post is true or not, we'll kick it over to you guys, and you let us know whether to keep it up or remove it. If a bipartisan Senate committee can't agree on what the truth is, then you all agree to stop complaining about the decisions we make on that front. Isn't that better than having a private company control election-related speech?"
Facebook is not a monopoly. Is there an alternative social media? No, but that makes it a monopsony, since you work for Facebook by using the site, and they pay you in cat pictures. Facebook's business is ads, and its competitors are Google and television.

Facebook doesn't merely allow sharing information, it facilitates it -- worse, it selectively facilitates information whose availability is useful to Facebook, not to you. Facebook spends billions of dollars developing algorithms to control what you see on Facebook. Where in the "free expression" handbook does it mention that newsfeed posts which support the bottom line shall be seen more often than those that don't?

This idea, that anything that happens on Facebook has anything to do with "free expression" or open, unmediated communication between acquaintances, is the first thing that we need to get rid of. When people stop believing that, they might use Facebook much less -- which would be a good thing!
I think the limitation is the raspberry Pi which has no sata or m.2 interfaces. That's why they used a drive with an adapter.
It highlights hypocrisy, practically. Whether that is an appropriate 'therefore' is debatable. Personally, I do think some form of accountability around hypocrisy is necessary in our public leaders.
I don't believe I'm saying, suggesting or hinting that this is not going smoothly for a transition like this. If you read my comment as somehow saying this transition is not going smoothly, I'd like to understand why you'd think that and I'll update my comment.

What I'm commenting on is that anything that is not already completely bought into Apple's stack is not there yet, and that reveals where Apple's priorities are. Anything that's cross platform or depends on cross platform components needs to play catch up now. It's fine if they have priorities though?

Devotion – The Inner Journey
No, but that wasn’t so much Apple’s choice as it was a consequence of Intel making promises they couldn’t keep.

For a while, the Air has been the form-factor Apple expected to be getting entry-level-MBP perf from, and requesting chips from Intel to satisfy that; and for a while now, the response from Intel has been a chip that thermal-throttles so hard in that form-factor that the performance has bombed it down to a lower class of computer.

The base-model MBP, then, has been Apple’s compromise: it’s the result of them taking those chips that were supposed to be just fine running in an Air, and giving them enough chassis and fans to make them perform the way Intel originally promised they would.

In other words, the base MBP is “a MacBook Air” in terms of what performance Apple targeted the Air to achieve each gen; and the Air itself is the pretty design Apple’s IxD dept put out in anticipation of that target, mated to an altogether-worse processor in order to get it out of the gate.

Now that Apple has a chip with actual thermal headroom, this duality will go away. You’ll get base-MBP perf in Air chassis, and these overlapping categories will merge into one.
It’s a fair bet that it’s substantially inferior to a dedicated gpu at present. They didn’t release an M1 in any premium sku that would be head to head with a dgpu.

However, given the investment in both the neural engine and integrated gpu - I wouldn’t be surprised to see something interesting in 6-24 months.
It's interesting, many people in this comment section are pointing out other places, like greece, the caspian sea, the black sea, where cats are found all over the urban environment. What all of these places share (including istanbul) is their proximity to water, and presumably, ports! When I was in istanbul, I remember someone saying that the cats, historically, would help tame the massive rat populations that often plague both port cities and the hulls of ships. I don't have a source to back this up, but its some food for thought!

The issue here isn’t is the armor effective but would it explode and kill you without even being hit.

There have been plenty of mishaps with vaccines the last swine vaccine for example had severe side effects that caused disabilities.

When you plan to vaccinate millions of people even 1% of severe long term side effects is something you can’t afford.

Having the companies also being essentially exempt from future damages also complicates things because people might suffer from life altering side effects and would not be compensated for.
IMO the main issue with allowing patents to be of different lengths is that you are opening up a process to change the length of patents. You'll immediately see corps pushing that their type of patents are special and need longer coverage.

There's little a corp loves more than rent seeking and so-called IP laws are all about rent seeking.
Section 230 makes no distinction between "publishers" and "platforms", at least not where the ability to moderate or editorialize content is concerned. It doesn't require a platform to be politically neutral, or to only moderate content which is strictly illegal, nor does it forbid the exercise of editorial discretion.

Facebook is allowed to do what they're doing and the question of whether that makes them a "publisher" or "platform" isn't relevant.

How did you do that? Were you using some kind of hooks or polling for the spreadsheet state and triggering training jobs whenever it had changed?

No. All I see is a strawman.
> Simple writing is clear thinking ... They're signs of lazy writing, lazy thinking, and a desire to impress the reader with how smart the author is.

"Simple writing," is perspective-based. If I were to take a introductory book on Economics, anyone steeped in the literature would likely consider it simple, as they've already internalized enough information to consume the book. To a seven year old, however, this is likely out-of-grasp.

> Yes, limiting yourself to well-written materials will limit your exposure to many ideas.

There are plenty of worthwhile things which are either poorly written or require a lot of effort. It's tragic to cast aside anything requiring effort to optimize your consumption of media.
I'm still struggling to find the link with democracy. Sure you can't have democracy if the source code is inscrutable but that's a somewhat tenuous link.

"banning LGBT content" entirely is the wrong argument here. There could be a perfectly reasonable arguments for why a specific piece of LGBT content would be banned. At which point you will hear the "It's a private company" proponents switch up the line and argue how it's not right.
Therein lies a tricky obstacle for the FOSS movement:

I came of age just as Macs were getting really "cool" again, around the mid 00's. In college, as soon as I got a little money in my pocket from scholarships and grants I went out and bought a Macbook.

If anything the nostalgic conservative position for me to take would be that Macs are still awesome and cool despite any critiques.

What big innovation would be scaring me away at this point? Changing architectures? That's happened in the past. Macbooks are still macbooks more or less.

Locking down the system more and more each generation isn't innovation. It isn't "conservative" to criticize vendor lock in or to prefer more user freedom over the familiar comfort of Apple's design language.

> Funny how this argument is only put forward for cases in which the author agrees with the censorship.

Not really. I've frequently seen the argument made that particular censorship is within the legitimate purview of a private actor, while still being disapproved by the speaker.

> If facebook tomorrow banned all LGBT content I have a feeling "it's a private company" would not be an acceptable defense for anyone currently using it.

Facebook absolutely has the right to censor all LGBT content, and them doing so is not a cause for government intervention.

Facebook also absolutely should not censor all LGBT content, and I would condemn them and cease use of the platform if they did.
Yeah ikr
The amount of actual user text content on even a comparatively large forum is ... surprisingly small.

When Google+ was shutting down, I did estimating of the total amount of public content within the Communities feature. Median size of a post was pretty close to Tweet-sized --- 120 characters or so. (G+ could ingest very large posts --- I never hit a limit though I wouldn't be surprised if it was book sized.) The highly active user population was maybe 12 million (another 300m or so posted at least once). Volume seems to have been about a million posts per week, for six years.

Which works out to less than 100GB of actual user-contributed text.

https://old.reddit.com/r/plexodus/comments/afbnvd/so_how_big...

Adding in the rest of G+ multiplied that out a few times, but likely still well under 1TB data. Images were asssociated with about 1/3 of posts and weighed in at a few MB each, call it 3 MB --- so a picture is worth 24,000 posts.

Rendered and delivered, page weight was just under 1 MB (excluding graphics), for a payload-to-page ratio of 0.015%. (Ironically, about the same as the ratio of monthly posting users to all accounts.)

But if you wanted to extract and store just user content and metadata, excluding video, storage requirements are surprisingly modest.

Facebook data aren't clear, but:

> There are 2.375bn billion monthly active users (as of Q3 2018).

> In a month, the average user likes 10 posts, makes 4 comments, and clicks on 8 ads.

> Hive is Facebook’s data warehouse, with 300 petabytes of data.

> Facebook generates 4 new petabytes of data per day.

https://www.brandwatch.com/blog/facebook-statistics/

I'm going to assume much of the 4 PB is system data, not user-generated.

2.4 billion users posting 4 x 120 byte comments/mo works out to ~15 TB of textual data per year.

Values are extrapolated, unconfirmed. Corrections or suggestions welcomed.
