For a use case like this, I'd imagine that tethered multicopters could be a very nice fit. If you can just plug the base station into a power outlet, suddenly 24/7 doesn't seem that crazy.

PS: Apparently I'm not alone with this idea, search engine comes up with hits. https://elistair.com/ even have a tether kit you can plug into some DJI models (and others) instead of the conventional battery pack. Out of Lyon, France, nice!
> RAM soldered onto the CPU

It's just very close to the CPU, on the same package. It's not on the same die or anything. There are laptops that already have a shorter physical path to RAM than the M1 MacBooks, stacking the RAM right next to the CPU is common.

So it's just a matter of time before >16GB is available with an M1. These are just entry level machines in the first round.
Awesome, thanks for the heads-up @axbytg. Fixed.

I think I saw an email from you in my inbox but we've been swamped trying to wrap up the Beta. Let's chat next week?
ESA don't require anything which is why the idea is easy to abuse, but ESA and PSA (psychiatric control animals) are real things, and under 14 C.F.R. § 382.117(e) airlines can require evidence of an animal being a service animal or an ESA/PSA, such as up-to-date documentation from a mental health professional of the ESA's necessity to the owner.

I expect not waving this is what the rules change actually is, because I don't think the DoT can just decide the ACAA is not a thing.

For a service animal, the airline can only require

> identification cards, other written documentation, presence of harnesses, tags, or the credible verbal assurances of a qualified individual with a disability using the animal.

Although it should be noted that only 23 states prohibit misrepresentation of a service animal, the main difference being that service animals are rather obviously limited as they can only be dogs or miniature horses (an other thing which makes me doubt the complete veracity of the article).

NYC and CA both have the high paying jobs and HCOL. CA is probably more expensive in general when considering the taxes and housing, assuming you live in the areas with tech work demand. Comparing the two would really require specific jobs and locations. You can look at salary of job minus the sum of 1/30th average house cost and taxes to get a rough number for use in comparisons. You would also have to consider what "worth it" means to you.

To me, the $180k would not be worth it to live in either place based on my life interests and opinions. If I were single, it could be tempting for me to move there for a few years if I were making that sort of money and had a mortgage instead of rent. The idea would be that while the COL is high, a very large part of it would be housing. If at least a chunk of that was going to equity (and the housing market continued to climb or stayed steady) then I would have a lot of money accumulated when I would leave the area after say 5 years. Not to mention that all the benefits are geared towards staying in the area too. A 6% 401k company contribution is a lot bigger when your salary is that high (double mine). The trick is moving out of the HCOL after you've made a lot of money.

Some of the worst people in history who committed the worst atrocities were very passionate about making the world a better place, at least as they defined “better”.
Doesn't the instrument itself change over those long time periods?
It's an original research paper (not review) and it was published in 2018. So yes, 1000 citations at the very least conveys that it was noticed and had an impact.

Also, anyone who works in the field of AI fairness and ethics research knows about it. So yeah, it's an important study.
Apple TV has the best experience IMO and supports all major streaming services.
I just like the theatre's speaker system. Unlike some of the others that replied to you, I don't mind the social aspect but only in an apathy and indifference. Until someone's phone comes out and affects my field of view, but I've mostly seen good etiquette there in recent years (last 5).

I prefer spontaneously going to a theatre by myself with no planning, getting a good seat (or lately they've been reserved seats, in the same apps I used to check the movie times), on time, and enjoying the experience uninterrupted. For me, it is a privilege because in suburbs and rural America such spontaneity is not an option, whereas living in a prime area of a city allows for 3-5 or more movie theatres to choose from, multiple simultaneous showing at each one, different sound system and seating and viewing types, etc. A stroll at 11:30pm to a fun bar or club afterwards, or spontaneously leaving an evening social setting I no longer prefer to be in and decompressing in a theatre!

I don't enjoy planning that with other people, and tolerating their movie going routine. But whether I put up with that or am with one or more people that aren't late or picking bad seats, I don't find it a social experience because we are watching the movie, not making jokes the whole time.

Yes, I do enjoy other people's reactions and how that can add to the energy. But it isn't that interesting for me to miss it.
Korra is promising but doesn't quite deliver. It sets up a more mature world that engages seriously with a lot of the difficulties inherent in the whole Bender and Avatar classes of people. It's more political and interpersonal. But it's also less fun, and especially after the second season, rather muddled in its storytelling.

That is, apparently, partially due to the creators being jerked around by the production company. It's very good nonetheless, and if you have time to kill, I'd say it's worth a try. You'll know in a few episodes if it doesn't work for you. (It was in some ways rather too dark for me.)

To be clear about this, your argument is that a disabled person should be able to say "I need an elephant on this plane" without having to explain why? Also, disagreeing with this point of view makes someone a jerk? :-)
I'm the other side. Vertical integration is a fast way to fall behind.

This move is very Nintendo-like. Gimmick then don't even attempt to compete with the big dogs.

The fanboys have their meat to chew on "it's not hot". And they will repeat it on command as Apple falls behind to a swath of competition. "It might be slow, but at least it doesn't warm my lap."

Yeah, my analogy is definitely hampered by my novice-level guitar chops.

I'm definitely intrigued by the idea of better understanding these complex signal pipelines. In fact, a usesthis.com style website that shows the pedal box arrangements and signal flow diagrams for various guitarists would be a website I'd quite enjoy visiting.
I'm not an economist either but what you said makes sense. We instead nowadays have tons of various fees on our bank accounts so the return ends up being negative. And we're supposed to accept that this is fine and normal? Economy is booming? Give me a break.

This is why creative solutions like bitcoin, if not (necessarily) directly solving anything, do give pause for thought, and maybe shine some hope for a non-corrupt (immutable) system of money.

I need to read up on whether a deflationary currency/economy would really be an issue, or if it just wouldn't work with how things are currently set up.

Edit: And yes, it's a complex issue with no outright easy answers. Doesn't hurt to think about it though.

> Of course, there's other stuff - 30 (working) days of paid vacation, solid and cheap education, solid medical coverage (I consider $50 medical bill damn high) etc.

I worked at FAANGs in Silicon Valley for many years. I always got at least 20 vacation days, 10-12 holidays (like Christmas or July 4th), excellent insurance plans and could pay off my 40-45K education loan in a breeze. Total cost of private education is ~25K per child.

If you have a Software job at a FAANG in SV, it will be better than almost any other arrangement in Europe (exception: Zurich) even after taking into account vacation days, insurance premiums, California taxes, private schools cost and probability of gun violence.
This is Apple we are talking about. The last 20 years have been tricks.
There's Exynos.
My comment comes from my own experience with the product, nothing more nothing less. I share so it can help others who have the need. Can’t speak for anyone else’s comments.
If the government really believed that FAANG is conducting an authoritarian insurgency within our national borders, they wouldn't be pursuing antitrust. If that's what you want to argue, fine, but it's not relevant to antitrust action discussed here.

There is plenty of choice, many of which I'm happy with and many of which I'm not. I think it's farcical to say that there is no choice, millions of consumers have chosen freely without coercion from many options. The choices we have today are options that consumers have chosen willingly and repeatedly over other options that no longer exist.
I had to make a call for the startup I work at. I went with 1pass and it has gone well. I had tried lastpass before and loathed the UI.

The only thing it lacks is a more powerful granular permissioning now that we've scaled. Ideally, there'd be a way for each new hire to automatically get an account and roles via LDAP, and immediately have access to necessary secrets based on that with no manual step.

Allow me to gently contradict the previous responders. The community of radio astronomers is feeling the loss of Arecibo very keenly.

I've mentioned this in a previous comment [1] so I won't rehash it again, but here [2] is a statement from the NANOGrav collaboration - we have been using the Arecibo telescope on a weekly basis (along with the Green Bank telescope) to observe a large number of radio pulsars for over 15 years now, and when we announce the first detection of very low frequency gravitational waves, Arecibo data will play a critical role.

This loss really hurts. The US community is scrambling, and we are going to have to rely on the generosity of our international partners going forward - there's just not going to be enough telescope time to do all the science that we'd judged as very important through competitive review processes.

(And that's before we get into the unique radar capability, etc.)

It'll be interesting to see how this effects a culture/mindset shift among large movie producers and directors. Putting aside their artistic concerns that their films are best experienced on the massive widescreen, having a big box office haul seems to be a key part of Hollywood braqfests.

If simultaneous theater+streaming becomes the norm, it would seem the days of multi-hundred-million box office gross will be past. In 2020, the highest grossing film (domestically) so far is the Bad Boys sequel, which released in January and got $204M. The only other 2020 release to break $100M is the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. And many of 2020's top grossing movies were released in late 2019, e.g. "1917" and Star Wars. Even worse, Christopher Nolan's "Tenet" – released in September by Warner Bros – basically bombed at under $60M [0].

Given the huge movies that WB is planning to put on HBO (Matrix 4, Wonder Woman, Dune), I wonder if that'll spur Disney to throw Black Widow onto streaming. Apparently its Mulan release (which required a premium subscription) didn't do so well, but seems risky for Disney to sit on its hands while WB goes all in.

I'd say finance will be a close second.
Why would they fire or investigate you? It’s not like you’re organizing strikes or anything like that. You are simply benefiting of the same knowledge that companies have to have a fairer deal.
I currently use multiple monitors, and apparently nobody at Apple HQ uses a monitor in portrait mode. Catalina routinely forgets the monitor is portrait and requires manually changing it back _every time the machine is locked_.

Why is this relevant? I'm seriously considering a 1440p 32:9 240hz Samsung G9 so that I can ditch multiple monitors and move to a single display with similar overall screen space just to dodge pesky multi-screen bugs like this. Just docking my laptop and using a massive screen would be SO NICE!

Only thing that's holding me back is I really want 2160p tall in that form factor. Will probably need to wait for DisplayPort2.0

What makes CSS so hard to debug?
I've seen a lot of people mentioning the lack of Roku support. I have no idea how HBO hasn't developed an app for it yet; it seems like an easy market to support. But like you mentioned, Firesticks and Chromecasts are stupid cheap. It sucks having to get a new device for a single app, but it's either that or don't use the service I guess.
A clear example of “This is why we can’t have nice things”, if ever there was one. This definitely sucks from a consumer point of view, but understandable when the focus becomes passenger safety. Service dog training can be verified and as such abusers can be filtered out of consideration.
That's not an arbitrage due to the lock up period, which exposes you to considerable risk.
Don't forget:

"It's just popped corn, why is it so expensive?"

or

"why does my seat smell so weird?"

or

"couldn't the tall guy sit one seat over?"

Me and my friends used to go regularly into a cinema. Every week once. Than it became expensive so we went more rarely at some point the choice became narrower and narrower so we stopped because it just wasn't worth the money. I have been 5 times there in the last ~10 years.
I also know a little about Colombia, being married to a Colombian woman. This just won't happen. Also, market dictates that even if it happened, nothing good would come out of it, and that's nothing to do with Colombia, just pure market behaviour: druglords will still be buying the product, it's just there would be a drive to produce more to cope with this higher demand.

Also Colombia won't become a first world country any time soon, the infrastructure is lacking and the country has three different mountain ranges. Furthermore, and I say it as a Spanish national, their culture comes from the latin/Spanish culture and that has a lot of anti-capitalist cultural implications that will nevertheless drag any possible economic growth.
Adding on to that

Zen 3 chiplet is 4.15B transistors. The consumer IO die is 2.09B transistors. The Threadripper IO dies is 8.34B transistors. M1 is 16B transistors. A14 is 11.6B transistors. That difference is mostly 2 firestorm cores/cache, 4 GPU cores, another DDR4 controller, and some Thunderbolt/PCIe.

Taking a ruler to a die shot and multiplying that area by transistor density (16B/119mm^2) gives us somewhere around 500M transistors per core plus 3mb of cache. Adjusting out to 4.5MB per core to match Zen 3 adds another 75-100M transistors.

Zen 3 gives 518M transistors per core, but that includes interconnects. Taking a ruler to the core reveals about 14% of the die is interconnect, SMU, and wafer tests (about 580M transistors). Subtracting that from 4.15B and dividing into even core/cache gives 446M transistors per core.

We'll assume an identical IO cost of 8.5B transistors and 150M transistors of interconnect per core. (64 * (600 + 150)) + 8500
is 56.5B transistors and 420mm^2 total area. A zen 3 chip with similar densities would be 310mm^2.

No matter how you slice and dice that, Apple's chip is going to be significantly more expensive than AMD's chip. Thinking anything different is a pipe dream.

EDIT: also note that formal verification adds a lot to chip pricing.
If a business can’t afford to pay its workers a living wage it can’t afford to exist.

Why should the government have to bail out business that can’t afford to operate?
Well the laws here are really stupid. ESAs are not covered under federal law. But service animals are. However - there is no accreditation program for service animals, so you cannot ask for proof that an animal is a service animal. You are also not allowed to ask a person what their disability is or demand they demonstrate some sort of proof of either disability or specialized training in their animal. So essentially, anyone can still claim any animal is a service animal and the airlines have to accommodate them. The ESA designation is NOT a service animal (although a service animal can also be an ESA). So this is something the airlines could easily disallow. I'm afraid we haven't seen the last of people abusing the system for their own convenience, however.
Hard to know an exact timeline - we will first ship Storage, and Functions after that. I think it will be ~Q2 2021.

Surprisingly we don't have too many people asking for this at the moment. A lot of Supabase devs are using Next.js/Vercel or Netlify to write their function code, or using Stored Procedures: https://supabase.io/docs/client/rpc
Later in the tweet:

"This is the exact email I received from Megan who reports to Jeff. Who I can't imagine would do this without consulting and clearing with him of course."

I am sure Jeff Dean was made aware of the situation given the PR impact. But it is a stretch to say that Jeff Dean personally decided to fire her against her manager's wishes.

Allegations like that need evidence.
It sounds like you worked with her. Can you give an example of an ambiguous situation?
Personally I've been using KeePassXC with self hosted Nextcloud sync for many years and it works great on desktop, apart from minor merge conflicts when server or clients been offline for long. I haven't found a good solution for iOS but Keepassium and Minikeepass is OK for occasional logins. I think it might bee more of a Nextcloud issue on mobile.

I think it's totally insane to let a third party manage your passwords.

> People buying Apple for its M1 low power consumption are a niche inside a niche.

Got it, watching Netflix in Chrome without the laptop getting hot is "a niche inside a niche" while GPU intensive 3d graphics workflows are mainstream.
Wow. This is fascinating. What is a direct response advertisement?

Also what is this site swiped? I haven't heard of it before.
I have no doubt she'll land on her feet, just like everyone who quits Google in such circumstances, but if you actually want to have an impact in such a situation, make them fire you instead of giving them an out like this.
I've been waiting for Apple to update the AppleTV (I gave mine to a deserving friend), so I replaced my aging Roku with a FireTV (for HBO Max). Works great.
Samsung stopped Exynos development a year ago. Cavium is basically dead (yes, bought out by Marvell). Qualcomm is interested only in mobile SoCs at mobile SoCs volumes where they can also sell radios, and Nvidia was traditionally not capable of delivering anything at promised power consumption.
I'm finding a lot of the comments in this thread to be hurtful. Yes, many were abusing the system to register pets as service animals. No, that is not a reason to forbid the practice which was genuinely helpful to people like myself who have a phobia of flying coupled with anxiety and having a service animal genuinely helps get through a flight without the need for medication. The problem is the desire to not devote resources to verifying the legitimacy of individual claims and instead banning the practice wholesale. Honestly, why make a mockery of this? Chastise people who are obviously trolling or scamming the system.
I don't think it's that simple. It's like the freedom to flaunt not wearing a face mask. Your freedom can actually hurt you and society in general. China for example a country without as many freedoms has handled covid way better then the US do in no part to less freedoms.

Additionally specifically for the drug thing we already draw lines in legality even for people like you who promote total freedom. Should a 5 year old be allowed to sniff coke and shoot up on heroin just for his freedom? Well he's a kid... and doesn't know any better so he needs to be controlled.

Does that same logic apply to adults who don't know any better who walk around without masks? Where is the line drawn? Why do kids have to be restricted but not adults that don't know any better, what affords the child the "privilege" of more restriction?

If you legalize heroin and coke you are definitely going to reduce drug related violence and the lacing drugs with impurities but you will increase the amount of addicts and regular users including users who start using at childhood.
if you don't mind me asking, what do you actually like about the cinema experience that you can't get at home? I get that the image quality is better than the average consumer tv, but it's not prohibitively expensive to get a good home theater setup, especially if you weigh the cost against eight years worth of movie tickets + the residual value of the equipment at the end.
