My gut is that the claim translates better to percentage of processing power per user. With such an excess of power today, you can scrape a ton of use out of it.

That said, the use of scripting languages kind of proves the point. There is little attempt made to maximize compute. Only gets more true when you consider the absurd amount of memory being used.
Yup, you don't want to send out a lot and having doses going bad because they were sitting around too long or some other issue.
I also _want_ to like Apple Maps. But I always need to double check business hours using Google.
There's sadly a pretty long history of the international community ignoring atrocities as long as they're contained within a country. The answer to "why won't we recognize <genocide>?" is usually "because the victims were from the same country as the perpetrators".

I live in a Mexican city near to the border with the US, the violence got really bad 10 years ago (some cartels were fighting for the border, now it is a lot calmer). Anyways “Narco culture” has influenced a lot of people (mostly on poor neighborhoods) and therefore it has influenced kids, it’s really sad to see boys playing with guns pretending to be narcos. The government has tried to ban those kinds of toys, I don’t know, does that really help? I guess I don’t have a strong opinion since that doesn’t look like a solution, but in the other hand it’s sad to see those boys aspiring to be narcos.
In reality more modern communication techniques will be in use now. The legislation is in effect setting a minimum standard for implementation.
Alcohol is damaging in small amounts already, there’s plenty of research around that.
People regularly drinking 12 beers in a sitting are unlikely to change their behavior because some government eggheads wrote a paper saying it wasn't healthy. I suspect they already know that and just judge that they'd rather do that anyway.

People somewhat regularly having 3 beers might be convinced to only have 2 or 2 down to only 1.
Okay, how are they profiting from liquid? Moreover, what's liquid's "moat"? What's stopping me from copying liquid's software (seems to be open source) and making a clone that charges 0% fees?
When my son was around 4 I was playing GTA and was not playing it violently when I took a car from someone and they tried to pull me out he said "Hit him dad! Hit him!" but never in his life (he is 21 now) has he struck anyone. It was just a game to him.
The article describes as "onerous":

"Before letting journalists inside Covid-19 wards, hospitals needed prior permission from not only the specific patients the journalists would interview, but also other patients whose names or identities would be accessible."

I feel bad that HIPAA and our support for medical privacy is inconveniencing their crisis pornography.
Having grown up in the manner you describe, and being a parent of several young kids - I do find the prospect of them having a similar childhood pretty terrifying.

I am forever thankful for a childhood like that - but letting my kids run amok in this day and age for hours brings me a lot of anxiety. It is an interesting paradox that makes me a bit sad.

edit: for the record, we have them in wrestling / jiu jitsu - so their plate is still full re: physical activity and social interaction.
I love video games, but I agree. You also have nothing to show for the time (I don't buy the "if you had fun, it was worth the time" argument). Hobbies where you can learn/hone new skills are more valuable. With video games, there's nothing to show for it.

The only scenarios where I think they're beneficial is when they're enjoyed with friends (preferably in-person), or for the elderly to help with hand-eye coordination and keeping their minds active and busy.
Equating slavery with forced labour belittles the gravity and awfulness of what actual slavery is (or was).

Forced labour takes different forms, which includes forced paid work and by some definitions penal work.

Slavery is when a person is treated as a property of another person. Being a slave may or may not involve forced labour.

In addition, calling Uyghur work “slavery” in fact undermines the cause, allowing CCP defenders to legitimately call out “fake news”. Precision matters.
Tell your buddy to hybridize the two designs: a “donut” for the radial part, and an up-down mirror for the donut’s hole. You’ll have a nontrivial meshing problem at the interface between the two.
Many scientists burn millions of dollars to get a science paper.
Since you mentioned Final Cut, I’m going to assume you’re using an iPhone. For music, there’s GarageBand from Apple. There are many third party apps too, many being free as well. For visuals, you have iMovie from Apple and many other painting/image/video/animation apps, also with many being free too.
I have not tried this yet but there seem to be really cheap USB DVB-T receivers with a particular chip from Realtek that easily allows to use them as a SDR receiver.

Maybe look here as they have a list of compatible receivers if I remember correctly? https://old.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/

Edit: compatibility list is here: https://old.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/wiki/compatibility
"Forced" is the word the article uses. We don't know if that's accurate or hyperbolic. I think issues like these are worth scrutiny and intense investigation, but I'm not going to pull my pitch fork out just yet.

It's so easy to sit in my desk chair, read an article like this and have an armchair outrage moment.
Anderson and Bushman never met something that didn't cause "aggression." And in the several studies coauthored by Anderson that I have read I have not seen a definition of what they mean by aggression. I remember one mentioning "raising your voice."

Then the news media just reads the abstract and says "a new study shows videogames make you violent!"
All countries are doing these groups first, of course Israel is probably the country doing it the fastest so I agree, we should see the results faster.

And I agree with the topic, better 2 people somewhat immune "now" than half with the full vaccine immunity.

We let China get too big without modernizing/democratizing. Massive foreign policy failure by the western world. Now they appear too big to reign in and everyone (except maybe the US) is scared of them and just wants to play nice.

The Netherlands does this really well.
Yes, the food industry doesn't exist in a vacuum and they are painfully aware of that. They routinely compromise and tailor their advertising message for the zeitgeist. I think this mild improvement is an example.
That's interesting phrasing. Ontario & Québec have increasing numbers but they still have lower per capita case rates than western provinces.
Whataboutism is just Whataboutism in disguise. Wonder why this is acceptable behaviour. Injustice is for sure not exclusive to China. Practice what you preach. That would be pivotal for changing the world to the better.
Thanks, added to watch list!
> As to the DNC stuff, yeah Assange was probabally used by the Russian intelligence, but it was probabally an easy sell. Hillary really did (maybe jokingly?) call for Assange to be assassinated when she was secretary of state. He had every reason in the world to cut off her ascent to power.

Hillary's joke (if that is what it was) was an assault. She had the means to actually carry out the murder she suggested. Such actions, even in jest, have been known to cause people to get killed when some subordinate takes it as an order.

I think it takes a tremendous lack of empathy to not allow Assange a grudge against someone who quipped about murdering him and potentially the people around him, particularly someone with the awesome power of the united states behind them.

Journalists often have their axes to grind and their blind spots. It isn't great but it's just something we have to factor in... and I think this is one that a lot more justifiable than most.

And while he may have been used by Russia in the DNC leak, the leak revealed substantial unethical conduct that people were rightfully fired over. It brought transparency to the world that we deserved. If its publication depended on some bias on Assange's part, I think it wouldn't require much bias perhaps only would have been with respect to the timing of it.
Fairphone is your best bet with smartphones, but I'm not sure if there's similarly ethically produced hardware of other types.
I wonder when/if/ever context aware MTLs will view onigiris as jelly donuts. Humans already have an issue with using terms or something such that does not exist within the manga world such as referring to "china" (Chinese ceramics) or Americanizing manga to the point where it makes even less sense to the reader (unless perhaps if you're American? As can bee seen with the mentioned above).

Same with people who ̶t̶r̶a̶n̶s̶l̶a̶t̶e̶s̶ ̶W̶e̶s̶t̶e̶r̶n̶i̶z̶e̶s̶ Americanizes suffixes because I'M PRETTY SURE that EVERYONE calls their classmate MISS or MISTER. And the same goes obviously towards pet/nicknames. Heck, everyone addresses their older sister/brother as big sister/brother and NOTHING ELSE right?
Apple clearly does have a responsibility here, they acknowledge that themselves in their supplier policies. They have also taken steps previously to drop suppliers that have been found to use forced labour, so they're aware of the problem and willing to take action.

So the question here is what is the evidence, what does it show, and if Apple's inspections have missed anything how can they improve their policies and enforcement actions to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Just wowww
Probably not the article you were referring to, but I’m reminded of this interesting piece I discovered the other day; https://jacobitemag.com/2018/04/24/uncanny-vulvas/
A model based on some core principles or constraints of the natural system will often solve the problem by discovering the same structure used by nature. And so facts of the model can reveal facts of the natural system. Of course such discoveries need to be validated against the real thing.

It isn’t growing faster than ever. It’s growing, but the rate is declining, and it’s expected to hit net 0 in the next 30-50 years.
there's really no reason to speak like this, it makes you look like a jerk.
Do those values depend on the strength of the local gravity well?
Since they added biking directions in the city I live, I've managed to switch to Apple Maps full-time! Just recently completed a cross country drive with only Apple maps - works really well. Of course now I've locked myself even further into the Apple's ecosystem, but at least my maps are smooth and minimal for now...
Objectively, my hearing is just fine. I can hear frequency sweeps and tones perfectly well, but all my life I've been unable to pick out words in conversation if there's even moderate background noise. "What?" is likely my most commonly uttered phrase.

This leads to people constantly telling me to get my "hearing checked", when it's not the ability to hear tones that's the problem.

Rather irritating explaining this to people.
I guess, if they made an PCB for that phone model, it is not the only phone with such a bug at moment. If I had such a phone I would open an check it.
Because when they are successful they'll stop being "Specific". It's own success conspires against its nature.

Look at the history of Lua: it began as a language for config files, similar to makefiles, config.ini, xml or json.

But it solved this "problem" so well that people wanted it to become more powerful. And Lua did it without compromising too much it's simplicity. Then it stopped being just a config language. Same goes with JavaScript: in the beginning it was just for small scripts on Webpages, today is much more than that.

People will want power and versatility in a language. And they'll find that in Python, JavaScript, R or Lua. They'll not find it in a DSL.
Did you even look at the link? The Senate report in question concerns the recertifications.
I don't believe that quoting a PR spokesperson is a meaningful response, Apple is obviously a biased party in this investigation. Moreover, Apple has opposed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act which would penalize companies with forced labor in their supply chains[1]. It also has a history of similar accusations with regards to their LCD screens [2] and their uniforms [3]. All of this is completely ignoring their history with foxconn and other suppliers that routinely abuse their employees without compelling their labor through outright force. Apple might say that they care about this issue, but its clear that their supply chain is setup to take advantage of poor workers from 3rd world countries at a minimum.

What is an influencer to do? Switch to Android, like poor people?

Nobody who matters is going to boycott Apple.

Apple will counter with a plausible narrative, "we didn't know, we cancelled contracts, ..." and everything will be fine again.

Oh, and a new woke diversity ad to show how much they care about muslims. And everybody will share and clap and feel good.

Seems like there could be a middle ground, administer more or less of the second dose based on the amount stockpiled and the probability of future deliveries.
Ontario was the only province to start with this strategy. Retired general Rick Hillier, chair of Ontario's vaccine distribution task force, discussed the strategy in a CBC interview on Dec 14 [1] just before the rollout.

The data was wrong all along but the management didn’t want to remove it until they finally realised that it’s creating a negative revenue pressure.
I don't think it's impossible, I think it's a lot of work though. Especially for one person, it would take the right person. I could see someone like Walter Bright doing it (he created D originally by himself and other compilers).

I don't think I have the energy to do the entire DOM myself, and implement a JS engine, and CSS, and so on... Plus all the nuance of image rendering (even if you use third party libraries for this, you gotta figure out which ones to use and ensure you're doing so correctly and securely).
Ubisoft-Backed Blockchain RPG Lets Players ‘Fork’ the Game
Thanks. I know. Probably this exercise is just making up my mind during the holidays :)
There’s the fairphone

Hot take, but:

1. more games being produced because the industry is larger and the barrier of entry was reduced

2. more and easier ways to access them: free-to-play models, relatively stable $60 top-end price even after 2 decades of inflation

3. more socially acceptable and includes more than the nerdy kids from ~20 years ago. You could get bullied for playing EverQuest when I was a kid.

4. streaming platforms complements it and probably encourages playing games more often

5. more "addiction innovation" through game mechanics

6. maybe a long shot, but both parents often working now means less time spent with kids
Ask HN: What InfoSec damage could Trump have done to WH?
Hi. I was having fun speculating about the (physical and software) modifications Trump or anyone he gave access to the White House, and how you might go about finding them. (Obligatory Dune reference: its a bit like when house Harkonnen leave Arrakis and leave traps in the palace for the incoming Atriedes.)
No, they’re not.

Uyghurs, Tibetans and Inner Mongolians are living under the yoke of the historically brutal Han empire. Made more brutal by Maoism.

Tibet isn’t China.
Inner Mongolia isn’t China
-stans aren’t China.

Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao are China. Free China. The China we should recognize and treat the CCP regime as a mere de facto ruler.

Instead of smuggling weapons into Tibet and Chinese occupied stans (just like the CCP did in its near abroad and not so near) the West gave China the means to become the world’s eminent hegemon.

Thanks Bill and Newt! The gifts of 90s political bankruptcy keeps giving.
A person held against their will and forced to do labor is a slave whether they're called that or not, especially if they have committed no legitimate offense for which such a punishment could be justified.

As near as I can tell the Uighurs' "offense" is being of a different ethnicity and being majority Muslim. What the Chinese are doing here is very close to what the USA did in its first century with African slaves.

but - not being able to conduct its investigation doesn't automatically cause China to be in the wrong. More evidence is needed here. (Independent review being disallowed nationally is a bigger concern I will admit)
I think people are going to nitpick no matter how sound effects are handled. They are almost as much art as text. It is clearly out of scope for this paper to be able to "redraw" the sound effects in English, plus, some (I'd guess most, but importantly, not all) might want to see the original anyway and have a note somewhere for it's translation. I also think it's out of scope to find a suitable place to put this note - you don't want text to cover up interesting art.
> Which is a pretty fishy chip to be in a desk VOIP phone. Interesting that someone might have made a custom fit, nicely silkscreened and barcode part-labeled bug for one specific model of voip phone.

I would imagine these bugs are designed by hardware engineers (a high skill job due to uniqueness of such trait), but not necessarily assembled by the same engineers (a lower skill job which requires different qualities).

So, for example, a 'TAO station' would not necessarily contain all those engineers who designed the bugs, but it would have technicians who can install/implement them.
It’s not slavery. They’re similar atrocities though. It would be weird to refer to the people in Auchwitz-II as slaves.
I emphasize "work it out" so often with our kids.

Funny story. my 4yo was playing with the neighborkids around the same age. the neighbor girl came to me to tattle, saying they weren't sharing. I told her you need to work it out with them, use your words and manners. Clearly not the result she was looking for, she turned and yelled "He said you have to share!" I clarified with the other kids "that's not what I said! Work it out!"
What makes you anxious about it?
Also, even if you get a job at a AAA game company, you're looking at a 50-75% pay cut from what you'd be making in FAANG. Even salaried game developers are very underpaid, because there are so many people who are willing to take the jobs for the fun/love factor (which eventually goes away).

The only people making real money are: a) corporate execs, b) people who get lucky with a big indie hit on Steam/etc, c) people lucky enough to work at a company with profit sharing (very rare)

You're right, and that's why governments must step in. Markets are not configured or incentivized to address ills like this, nor are corporations. Asking a corporation to right large scale social wrongs is like asking the DMV to operate your military or walking into a restaurant and asking them to come fix your roof. It's just the wrong socioeconomic tool for the job. If you try to really pressure or force them to do it, they'll do something half-assed much as you describe.

Boycotts can work a little, but a boycott large enough to be effective and overcome other market forces is very hard to organize and sustain.

I'm not totally letting Apple off the hook, just pointing out that without the government doing something here any measures Apple or anyone else takes will be ineffective. Even if Apple starts pushing back on this, other manufacturers will fill the void and take advantage of that cheap labor instead. Apple might even find it tough to police this since Chinese companies may lie about where work is being performed or who is doing it. They're likely to demand that Apple pay more for different labor and then pocket the money and use forced labor instead.
This site has been quite pleasant to use and read through. I especially liked the easy collapsibility of comment threads and the indication of the comment level.

While I haven’t used the site much, it seemed as if one could only navigate by day for the last one week. Is it possible to enter or choose a date and go to that date in the (probably distant) past? If yes, I haven’t discovered it. I don’t have time to catch up with some posts and threads within a week, and would like to use this interface if possible. I get that it may add to your storage and server costs to keep a longer term archive.
Too profitable, obviously. We can argue about carbohydrates endlessly, and I have to no avail in the past, but there is no dietary need for sugar at all. We tolerate some of it, but the less of it you eat the better off your body will be.

On a related note, the alcohol industry is actually really shady. They like to put on a clean image of providing responsible adults entertainment, but in reality the industry is deeply dependent on alcoholics. It’s estimated (2007 numbers) that just over 10% of alcohol drinkers consume half of the alcohol in the United States. Without that small cohort of alcoholics, a large percentage of the industry would go broke. Ever since learning this fact, I’ve taken an extra skeptical eye towards anything that even vaguely looks like alcohol industry influence.
