Or is this problem just with American friends' devices?
I remember reading somewhere that in practice this failed -- I think there was a programming language where there all possible syntax mapped to a valid program, which meant that true syntax errors were much harder to find.

The speed of light has units. The fine structure constant is a dimensionless quantity, like pi.
I'm not certain about some of these. Change (化) is a combograph? Its meaning derives from an upside-down person and right-side-up person, as is (仲) relationship. 母 is a pictograph, although rotated 90 degrees.
>We need an OS that self-destructs all data if surrendered, and that should be a hardcoded feature of the OS.

In a resource rich world, the trade-able resource will change, to something that is scarce (why would you do work for something next to worthless, due to abundance?). Reputation, artisan skill-based product, mechanically induced scarce resource (ala Bitcoin), etc

You’ll just be paid low wages in the new resource.

But regardless, we’re still far and away from “let everyone do only what they wish”; sure everyone might survive (due to presumed abundance of survival resources ), but to do as you wish for any job reliant on others, you’ll need to coerce others to do things they don’t strictly want to do.

And so we have scarcity, and politic.

The resource-abundance means the janitor can also optionally do nothing — he doesn’t necessarily need to janitor against his will — but it doesn’t mean he can become a dancer (that anyone will watch). He can become a dancer only so far as one might do alone, in their room, but to be trained, or to do it in the professional arenas, or to be watched, etc requires the coercion of others, with requires him to be sufficiently wealthy in something valuable, which must be scarce, and naturally unevenly distributed.

And he might janitor to save up to be a dancer.

Of course, you could always pretend to have an audience in a VR simulation, or an army of robots, but that’s perhaps a fairly pathetic fulfillment of his dream.
Always maintain a strict separation of employer and non-employer related computing. That includes your smartphone, laptop, desktop, don't cross the streams.

ss7 is only one access vektor of killchain.this comapny and thier solutions is infect iphone and android telephone.the cirkles solution is put at telekom headquarters thanks to autocratic goverment for spying. cirkles become authorised SS7 sender or recipient because acting like telco at telco access point{no need rogue access if u are telco}SS7 can tell target is in country or target is in other county but on national telekom network {in instanse, german company t-mobile has network in france}. once confirm target is in country, attacker has many option - most common is ask target phone where is located (baseband processor: not detect by target}, intercept phone call {not detect}, intercept text message {not detect -- uses for two faktor authroisation intersept}, send target message that looks like friend sent it {with viruss link}.[1]telekom in western country do not accept SS7 from eastern country where target does not currently travel.this is old SS7 attack and many commercial SS7 firewall to prevent attack[2]. femtocell is other cirkles product when close access require becaus no telekom access or for secret polise unit. same funktion. when attacker cant use cell network{because target is opsec} cirkles use information leak from many secure message platform. message is encrypt, but target metadata is not encrpyt, and can enumerated from secure message provider {e2e platforms is good encrypt, but bad privacy opsec.} cirkles know when target online, if target read message, when target typing, etc etc etc. more this information good for more targeting for NS0 grupo {email virus, secure message virus, sexy girl, new job, parcel delivery, etc etc etc}

Your link says that at best we could double our current hydro generation capacity, which supports my point: it's simply too little for our storage needs, and if we electrify more of our economy (i.e. use it to replace heat and transport for which we use a lot of fossils now), it will be even less. It might still be worth doing, but is far from solving the storage problem: it just has significant limits on its potential scale.

It's ironic that such things are made possible by the degree to which computers are being locked down --- a "factory reset" isn't really, if all it does is reinstall from a "recovery" on the device itself.

xhelper certainly won't survive a full reimage, which is an actual "factory reset" and only available to those with fully unlocked phones such as some of the Mediatek-based ones. That's done by holding down a button while plugging into USB with the battery disconnected, which causes it to go into BootROM mode (and this is really a ROM). Then SPFlashTool can be used to erase and rewrite the entire internal eMMC.

> A union would mean the ability to negotiate as a group rather than just taking whatever Google decided to offer us.

One of the highest salaries on the planet, and they still have several competitors?

Yeah, this is very short sighted. The system works, and tech employees need unions for salary negotiations less than nearly everybody. This doesn’t end how you hope, and just reeks of unearned entitlement. If you don’t like the offer, don’t work there. Nobody owes you anything.

Yeah the thing that’s driven me nuts the most over this is the belief that masks seemingly stop any and all transmission. Yes, even that cotton mask you haven’t washed in a week and throw in your purse when not in use.

Tens of thousands of people crammed together, yelling and shouting for hours on end? No problem if you’re wearing a piece of cotton over your face!

I wish there was just a little more nuance in the role of masks from our leaders and health officials like, “they help but they don’t make you invincible.”
I think you’re unaware with the way contract negotiations are done, because crossing it out and handing it back is exactly how the business world negotiated contracts.

Wouldn't landlords have the same incentive? By lowering the cost of utilities for their rental property they can increase the share of rent they keep as profit (in the case that utilities are included in rent) or charge more rent, based on the fact that the property is more desirable with the cheaper utilities / better environmental footprint.

Renewables are nothing new here. The same incentives encourage landlords to make properties generally energy efficient and desirable.

Don't get me wrong, I know the realities of rental housing. Many landlords do not give a shit, especially in markets without much housing. But as a general rule, the incentives are there, and eventually will have a large impact on the rental market. If most properties are solar powered, a rental that is not will have come with a discount.
We don't - but society didn't feel obligated to carry the ferriers when the car eclipsed the horse and we (again, abstract society) have generally been pretty okay with not specifically planning for those disenfranchised populations. This is brutal and it's capitalism - if you're a staunch libretarian you probably don't mind that those who didn't adapt are outed as losers but... these sorts of technological revolutions have a lot of spare efficiency that's brought along with them. That spare efficiency can be taxed and used to help fund education and small business loans to try and preserve prosperity.

When it comes to the international scene I think it's pretty clear that the "haves" coming will have strong reasons to make sure that the "have-nots" aren't devolving into anarchy since that causes global problems. Whether they act intelligently isn't something I can comment on - but there are clear benefits to everyone involved.

Yes, streaming k8s pod logs to Kafka and/or S3 is a great example of when you could use Vector.

The "collect, transform, and route all your logs, metrics, and traces" bit is our most succinct explanation of what Vector does, but I'll admit it's still not as clear as we'd like. To expand it slightly, Vector is a tool to collect observability data (logs, metrics, etc) from wherever it's generated, optionally process that data in-flight, and then forward it to whatever upstream system you'd like to consume it. It does this by providing a variety of different components that you configure into whatever pipeline you need. In your example, you could use our new k8s source and plug it into our Kafka sink, our S3 sink, or both.

There are 6 numbers, so it's not a 5 out of 50 lottery. 5 out of 50 means every 42000th tickets wins, which is a very high number, and can only be used in a lottery with small prizes. Of course, there are many lotteries for small prizes, for example there are millions of rounds of roulette plays occurring daily, and of course it's pretty often to have 2,3,4,5 and 6 occurring in sequence on some roulette table somewhere during a day. The phrase "1000 a year" relates to large national lotteries, where probabilities are much much smaller, it's about 1/250mln for US megamillions lottery, for example. So for 1000 of 1/10mln lotteries this will happen once every 273 years. I would say the probability of a foul play is high enough to warrant an investigation.
Don't Panic: Kubernetes and Docker
Snapdragon 865 is 83.54mm^2 (7nm)

Apple A12 is 83.27mm^2 (7nm)

Apple A13 is 98.48mm^2 (7nm+)

Apple A14 is 88mm^2 (5nm)

Not a very big difference. Remember, Qualcomm's chip includes a modem while Apple's does not (at present). Qualcomm has also been putting a lot of resources into other areas like neural processors. Their upcoming 888 claims 26 TOPS (vs 11 TOPS for Apple)

Cache is a very common misnomer too. A14 has 8MB of shared L2. 888 has 4MB of shared L3 plus 1MB for the X1 core and 0.5MB per each A78 core. It also has 3MB of what they call DSU cache which serves as a kind of general cache for everything on the chip that needs to hit memory. That's actually 1.5MB more total cache than Apple offers.

It's easier to describe the things that cannot be materialized.

The only rule at the moment is that you cannot currently maintain queries that use the functions `current_time()`, `now()`, and `mz_logical_timestamp()`. These are quantities that change automatically without data changing, and shaking out what maintaining them should mean is still open.

Other than that, any SELECT query you can write can be materialized and incrementally maintained.

The appeal of generics is in writing data structure libraries that are primarily abstract containers. With parametric typing you can bind the contained type early, rather then being bound through runtime indirections and checks like a dynamic type system, handles to another container, interface compatibility, or other such tricks.

That's an important role, especially in performance-sensitive domains, but outside of that, it never seems to work very well, which makes it a easily misused feature in every language I've used that offers it. Go's original design basically took the form of offering this for the built-in structures but not letting you roll your own, ushering you towards interfaces if you really needed it, and because Go makes interfaces convenient, it mostly works.
But do any of those come with the ISO available at https://www.archlinux.org/download/? I don't see how you can say something "just works" if you have to go out of your way to choose an installer for it.

You can have an expected value E[X] = 7.75

You cannot have a probability P[X ≥ 1] >1.

There is no 'probability per year' (if it were meaningful year would have to be <1 for a >1 result anyway) - that time frame is built into 'X', it's 'inside' the probability.

I mean, fossil fuels still have their uses even in a world of plenty of renewable energy: tanks, planes, etc. will still need oil, and the strategic importance of ensuring an oil supply will still be hugely relevant to major powers for that reason, and they will in turn have an interest in supporting a stable Saudi Arabia.

No but they’ll happen in an inert atmosphere, not sure about plasma etching that may require a vacuum chamber similarly to sputtering.

The only steps that absolutely require vacuum are sputtering and ion deposition (doping), depending on the wavelength used vacuum may be used/required for the lithographic exposure too but I’m not sure if it’s actually needed especially since some lithography requires submersion.

That said nothing will be done under normal atmospheric conditions, even the oxide layer will be controlled with specific oxygen rates.
The EU is already investigating Apple as a monopoly. There have been similar vibes from the US. They would see a TSMC purchase as a big monopoly play and squash it.

The theory is that at a certain point, vertical integration is so extensive that you are keeping all the profits along the entire chain and nobody can compete on price. That's a very bad place for government-enforced monopolies like Apple (standing on the back of government-enforced patent and copyright monopolies).
I wonder if the distribution in categories is different to that of Chinese hanzi.
Why would us HN readers (or perhaps you just meant is Americans?) need to have a plan for what happens to KSA if oil exports drop? They have their own plan for that, which is why they’ve invested so much into diversifying their economy.

Some Video Ideas to Grow Your Social Media Presence
If you're forgetful like me, it's really helpful to be able to check what time the first meeting is tomorrow when I set my alarm before bed.

Now that work from home is a thing, I also like having an standard way to communicate with work and be at least partially productive in case my laptop dies. I have my Do Not Disturb settings set so that the work profile doesn't show me email or chat settings outside of work hours on weekdays so I can start email triage during my morning bowel movement if I want, but it won't nag me if I'd rather spend that time in quiet contemplation.
Nuclears not some secret unexplored concept at this point. If it were competitive it would be competing. Its costs are too high, not due to regulations due to the sheer amount of resources involved in mining, refining, and operating. Not to mention initial construction.

I’ve worked remotely for over a decade.

The idea that working from home means you have no need for a car is naive at best.

Even when I last worked in an office full time, going to work was one of the few things I used public transport for, it was non-work things I used the car for.

“Large dining halls” sounds like one of two things: you’re either describing a school lunch room, or a post apocalyptic bunker. The idea that “most people want to order food” is either staggeringly wrong or depressingly right about your part of the world.

Literally the only things a “built for remote workers” housing project needs, is slightly larger houses with some dedicated space for working. That’s it. That’s what’s different about working from home. You work from home.
This might hold out for a while but eventually it will not make economic sense to pay silicon valley wages to people living in decided non-silicon valley income areas. It might not be fair but now that employees don't have to be physically in the office, it allows companies to drive down the wages. Enjoy it while you can.
