It may also be the cable modem. It's not uncommon at all for folks who own their own modems to have something that's so old spec that when they upgrade their service they don't get the speeds they are paying for.

I had this happen... Bumped to 500/50 with Wide Open West and immediately went "...oh" then grabbed a new modem.

In the US, at least, you can listen to almost anything without a license... I understand it's not always the case around the world.
To transmit in the US, you need to study and pass an examination to get a license. There are volunteer examination organizations that will perform the test, there is an FCC fee involved. One such group is http://www.w5yi-vec.org/

... not really.

US cellular services have absolutely miserable data caps compared to wired ISPs (yes, even on "unlimited" plans). The increased speeds of 5G are basically irrelevant if you get throttled after downloading 50 GB in a month. This is a problem that cell providers could solve pretty easily -- but they've had that option for years, and it seems like they'd rather not.

Starlink is density-limited. There's a finite amount of satellite capacity available to any amount of ground, and they can't target upgrades to specific geographic regions. They're a great upgrade from existing satellite Internet services, but they aren't going to replace terrestrial services for most people who have that option.
The lingo is complex here, because it's general enough to be used for much more complicated cases.

Think of it as a 'hello world' program. The typically 'hello world' program in eg Java teaches you more about the lingo of Java than about solving the problem of putting 'hello world' on the screen.

(Of course, there are still plenty of bad reasons to describe simple things in complex lingo. But the above is one good reason.)

I always appreciate my opinions being challenged, and acknowledge that they are simply my opinions. Any perceived sarcasm is meant as banter and not disrespect :) a tough line on the internet I'll acknowledge, hence this reply.

I will also say that yes transparency in these matters is a strict improvement over the status quo so we can certainly agree on that.

Earlier in my career, I used to listen to people making fun of WordPress and PHP. I used to waste time building things with .net or Django, reinventing the wheel, while a perfectly working solution already existed in PHP.

After a while, I swallowed my pride and started to use them. I am not building the next google, or the next Uber. I'm writing projects on the side for small businesses.

Nothing comes even close to the wordpress, PHP ecosystem.

I feel a little sad when I hear about the end of the pandemic.

I get that sounds bad initially, but ultimately, we just want to get right back to where we were before, needlessly flying everywhere, aimlessly driving around, polluting the Earth.

Hopefully we’ve learned something from this time!

At the risk of a naive question, may I ask where you get your option feeds from?

I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on any of the "professional quality" feeds given that I've been treating this sort of thing largely as a hobby, but the less pricy options seem highly variable in data quality, granularity and availability. I guess if you're trading on week/month timescale this may not be necessary, thus my musing.

Thanks for sharing, sorry if this is probing more deeply than you'd be willing to broach.
'On the Origin of Species' was released on this day in 1859
>Because it is the body that people care about when they talk about algorithms.

The article isn't just talking about what happens in the body. It's also talking about what the value of i is after an iteration is done.

>But even if you include it, it is ran exactly as many times as the body of the loop, so not sure why you bring it up?

That's exactly why I bring it up:

After 0 iterations, the iteration statement ran 0 times, so i is 0.

After 1 iteration, the iteration statement ran 1 time, so i is -1.

After 2 iterations, the iteration statement ran 2 times, so i is -2.

...

After |INT_MIN| iterations, the iteration statement ran |INT_MIN| times, so i is INT_MIN.

This directly contradicts the article. My point is that the article has an error.

If on the other hand you say the iteration statement isn't part of the iteration you get:

After 0 iterations, the iteration statement ran 0 times, so i is 0.

After 1 iteration, the iteration statement ran 0 times, so i is 0.

After 2 iterations, the iteration statement ran 1 time, so i is -1.

...

After |INT_MIN| + 1 iterations, the iteration statement ran |INT_MIN| times, so i is INT_MIN.

I don't agree with that point of view. But it does agree with the article.

It's amazing how this resulted in as many deaths as it did, and then destroyed as many small businesses as it did... it took life from ordinary people and helped break the livelihood of families that owned small businesses serving Boeing or its suppliers.

Unless AWS starts selling their graviton CPU, whose going to create chips for the arm server market? The volumes are huge and the margins are tiny, which is not something Apple was ever interested in.
Competition is the free market, not regulation.
Europe is massively different than America in size.
You say that as if Apple hasn’t been delivering yearly performance improvements in their SoCs like clockwork. They’ve roughly tripled the performance in the last five years between the A9 and A14.

AMD has done a great job with Zen 3 in particular, but IMO they are going to really struggle to compete with what Apple is able to do with ARM.
Thanks, impressive
You've probably had many interactions with meth addicts and had no idea they were addicts.

The trick is to smoothly animate the filling of a random percentage of the remaining unfilled bar between, say, 30% and 70%, with the timing of the advancements themselves slightly randomized. A sort of Zeno’s progress bar. It will neither peg at 100 nor shoot past, and the pulses feel “organic”. Bonus points for advancing the bar to known fixed points of progress when real feedback is received.

I’m not sure how this could be cheaper than RDS...? Nor do I see how the complexity of this solution could be justified except in the most performance sensitive situations.
It's very easy to perform very well on a specific benchmark when there's dedicated hardware for this.

I'm not saying this isn't good, it's great for people editing, but this isn't a general indicator of performance (which is reportedly good!)
When it comes to progress bars that lie, I think of two major examples:

1) Apple software updates or OS installs usually never have the bar progress past 30% or so. I don't think they lie, so much as 100% is actually at 40%.

2) Windows installation.
Copying Windows files jumps straight to 100%, Expanding Windows files is the only one that provides meaningful indication, installing features and installing updates happen instantly.

Then, it goes into a period of indeterminate loading spinner after a reboot.

These days, where possible (i.e. on VM, or if I'm in the OS already) I just use iStat menus or other monitoring software to check if things are using the processor by checking the CPU usage, CPU power consumption, disk read/write, and network activity. If something's happening, I let it sit. If not, the process needs to be restarted.
In Vancouver, Canada, there was a quiet period in March and into April, with fewer cars on the road. Then through the summer it picked up, and the streets are now incredibly congested throughout the day. More people are driving everywhere to avoid public transit, and possibly out of boredom. It's very frustrating. I hardly go anywhere at all, working from home and all, but when I need to drive somewhere, like to a distant appointment in the middle of a weekday afternoon, there are cars, cars, cars everywhere.
Yup. Syncing is cheaper, faster, easier to access and more in your control than iCloud is (or can hope to be).
If you have an intel mac, you can still install LS 4.x (once you have booted into recovery to permit the kext) on Big Sur. HN user miles pointed this out recently, and it is awesome.

It's 5.x that uses the new restricted APIs.

I'm going to contact the developers and ask for an ARM build of 4.x so the same trick will work on M1, at least until Apple forbids all kexts some time in the future.
When you say "reinforcing and emphasizing things we do know" is honestly concerning. That is a common tactic in propaganda. Especially when you consider propaganda's goal is a systematic effort to manipulate other people’s beliefs and attitudes. Using different events to reiterate the same thing is just trying reinforce whatever idea/fact is being reiterated.

It's even worse when what is being reiterated is not true because reiteration effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_truth_effect). This can be even aggravated further since a lot modern news is not just a statement of facts, but can also include various opinions which may be only partially related to that fact, but get reinforced as well.

However, repeating something over and over will decrease information density. Heck it's used in error correction when dealing with noisy/lossy channels the information theoretic sense. So reiterating things of course will reduce information density.
European Internet, according TFA, is for the most part not better. The largest country above us on the list has 17 million people. The big European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK, which together comprise 70% of the EU) have slower Internet.

The fastest country on the list, Denmark, has almost no competition in the sector: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_Denmark. And it’s been a model of deregulation: https://reason.com/2017/10/24/how-denmark-has-overtaken-the-...

> Regulators around the world took notice and strove to emulate the success of the U.S. approach. Denmark in particular styled its own telecommunications regulations on the U.S. model, slashing its chief telecom regulator altogether and assigning small regulatory functions to other departments.

Denmark is basically the situation where you have a “benevolent former monopoly,” like Verizon here in the mid Atlantic US.

This article seems to take the wrong stance that evolution is a slow change over extended time in population.

The resulting change lasts a long time until new stimuli cause population change. Evolution if graphed is steps instead of a curve.
Did they even address the cause for "intelligence?" As I see it two possible signs of intelligence before documented communications (ie. Pictures and what not) would be simple tools and fire.
It is outside the scope of this paper(maybe), but, I think they did to be able to address if humans today are actually any more intelligent than humans in the past, or human record knowledge is the cause of human advancement today. Also I did not see them define intellgence as it pertains to nonintellgent life.

Perhaps, then, there needs to be an extra layer of indirection between the voter and the office-holder. For example, voters could elect people who they thought were qualified to interview and test applicants for the roles that would hold day-to-day power.

I suppose that sounds a bit like how an electoral college should/could work, or how a parliamentary system expresses confidence in a Prime Minister, but obviously I don't think those systems are perfect implementations of the principal I am aiming for.

There are various types of "test" that could be used to filter applicants, such as IQ tests, polygraphs, general knowledge, psychological diagnosis, but each of those have a lot of scope for introducing false positives and negatives in the selection process, even before we consider the meta-gaming of candidates acting dishonestly and testers acting to bias the outcome.

Maybe if recall elections were possible for all roles (with zero administrative cost, and 100% turnout rate) that would be enough to solve the "buyer's remorse" problem with electing someone whose ability to gain power is greater than their ability to exercise it wisely.
It's also your "fucking" phone.

You own your car but you don't demand the right to turn it off any time you want, nor to drive any way you want. You don't do it because you know there are consequences if you do. If you're happy with bad things happening "because I have the right to do it", then well... by all means proceed.

I’ve seen lots of protesting over the last decade. The strange thing is that it never, ever amounts to anything other than completely trivial placation in the US. It seems like the Europeans are willing to burn their cities down to get something they want every few years, but they often end up getting it. Here, we can have a summer of rage and nothing happens. It spirals into minutia about whether it’s federal, state, or local changes. Some national programs or studies may happen, maybe a few local changes happen, but overall things go on as before. I can’t imagine an actual grass-roots challenge to something like constant domestic surveillance actually having any effect, because I’ve never seen it.
