I've avoided using Google Maps API for Apple devices.

The main reason, was that I knew someone that used it, and got the "Google $urpri$e," where, all of a sudden, they owe four-to-five figures a month, for a narrow-demographic $0.99 app. They switched over to MapBox. MapBox doesn't have quite the feature set and quality that GM does, but it's a great library, and won't give you sticker shock.

Google has a lot of money for a reason.

I have found that Apple Maps is fine for my purposes. I don't really need some of the fancier stuff that GM and MapBox gives you. If I needed the fancier stuff, I'd probably go with MapBox.

>> The author is clearly conflating orbital debris with re-entry pollution

To be fair to the journalist, so does wikipedia, the National history museum and the FAA.

On balance, the journalist (and perhaps the editor) appears to be correct here.

I don’t know enough to say if you’re mistaken or not but i can’t find a good definition for your term “re-entry pollution”. Do you have any handy links for that term?

Wiki & the NHM re-define “space junk” as “space debris”. Google does this too but is just relying on these sources.

The wikipedia for space debris includes material that falls back to earth. It even lists some notable incidents. Wikipedia doesn’t appear to recognise the term “re-entry pollution”.

The FAA deals with debris here: https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=685669905c05d232fc... - it treats orbital and re-entry debris under the same provisions and doesn’t seek to further distinguish them.

What sentences in the article lead you to this conclusion?
Most PC brands don't use custom chips and motherboards and etc. The build might be custom, but most parts are off the shelf. So each separate part is more likely to have some schematic out there of to follow similar design standards to other models.
My thought on this is: while technology and circumstance changes, human beings and groups of human beings, are subject to the same fundamental forces of ascendance, consolidation, plateau and decline. The human beings that make up Google are fundamentally no different from those that made up IBM (or even the Roman Empire). They may have the knowledge of what happened to the previous generation of tech companies in their collective memories, but then again, one could argue that IBM too, had in their collective memories, the fate of the industries that they supplanted.
Apple fans do love to think Apple is first at everything.

My family had a multimedia PC, with prominent integrated speakers, released in 1994. Based on the bundled software, it was promoted as a business + education + leisure computer.

At least in my circles, PCs with speakers and a mixture of educational (like MS Encarta) and gaming software were common from 1996 or so.

Have some imagination will you?

Just as you say, you don't want to verify ownership every time someone views your thing. You do it once with a trusted 3rd party, get a certificate or whatever you want, and hang it next to your piece.

If you now wanna show off your bitcoin worth, get a e-ink display connected to a raspberry pi that shows the current value of your bitcoin wallet. Have the certificate you acquired for this wallet right next to the e-ink display. Now exactly the same as if you were to show off your Van Gogh.

Bit false of you to compare showing a Van Gogh with verifying a bitcoin wallet. More appropriate to compare verifying a Van Gogh with verifying a bitcoin wallet, and we both surely know which one is faster and more reliable.

We can live without sugar. Like, 0 grams of sugar, or even 0 grams of carbohydrates. The hardest part is to avoid any at all, since even muscle meat contains some.

The real killer though is added sugar, not naturally occurring sugar. Or eating too much fruit I guess would count as too much sugar.
I think Japanese bookstores look very organised partly because they stock manga - where you will routinely get ten-volume series of books (with far fewer words per page than a novel would have, of course)

So while every western bookshop has that shelf full of Lonely Planet travel guides that looks really organised, in Japan you can photograph an entire aisle of books that looks just as regimented.
"Space junk is becoming an increasing problem as more satellites are launched into the atmosphere.

"WWooden satellites would burn up without releasing harmful substances into the atmosphere or raining debris on the ground when they plunge back to Earth."

Love this idea. If it can be done then we could see huge progress in sustainability and tackling the issue of space junk.

The Journey from x86 to ARM – Updating Library Dependencies from x86 to ARM
Google has information via Google Location Services. Have they stopped publishing public stats?
Nice work. Happy to connect. Email in my profile.
It's not simple because there are two axis of interest: the axis along you sum, and the axis that are preserved (ie, that gives the dimension of the returned array).

Both of them are of interest and after you were confused once about which one to supply to axis=..., there is no way back to clear the confusion. With einsum there is no confusion.

Citymapper compute their own routes, so that definitely doesn't come from Google. I'm not sure where they get their map data from, though.
Parens aren't doing the same thing. Primitives are implicitly being wrapped in objects when you use methods, but they come out on the other end as primitives again. The new operator gives you an object wrapper that you can keep working with and modifying the values of, whereas the parens you're using just let the interpreter know that your period isn't a decimal point. You can also use a space for this.

> typeof(new Number(0));
'object'
> typeof((0));
'number'
> 0 .toString();
'0'
My best idea was to assign "importance" to each event, and only record when each NPCs met and for how long.

Then when I check if NPC x knows about EVENT y I check who he met between time of the event and now and look at importance (witnessed murder would be high) and if there's a path for the information to pass - then he knows.

But it's too much work to do in every "tick" of the quest process. It should only be checked when something changed (someone who knows meets someone else).

It became too complicated system for just a few usages and some background gossip. But I think for a big RPG it could be great. Would allow more reactive world and more interesting quest design.

I think the main reason AAA games don't do this is voice overs. If we had good emotional speech synthesis a lot of new possibilities would open. So indies have an advantage here because text-only is still accepted.

Ofc the central bank is in control that's the whole point of the central bank. But the central bank does not single-handedly control the money supply it controls the value to other currencies by buying/selling stuff to maintain a somewhat stable local currency. Which is more or less the main task of a central bank.
But commercial banks multiply the money supply by creating credit out of thin air.
Fractional reserves are just a trick to prevent a collapse when a bank run happens. It doesn't change the way the system works. Also fractional reserve have been abolished in most places because they are essentially useless if bank runs are physically no longer possible because people dont use or want cash anymore and they think the money they have is on that plastic card. The people are no longer capable of creating shortages. The digital debt balances can be moved around however much people want the bank does not need any reserves for that.

Unequal distribution of rewards (i.e. according to merit) is fine and desirable (as a motivating force). The problem's roots are when the distribution of rewards becomes hereditary, that the children of the wealthy have near-guaranteed access to the best educational and social institutions, have near-guaranteed access to startup capital (i.e. from their parents), are usually provided with necessities (food, housing, clothing, incidentals) at no out-of-pocket cost by their parents for a considerable portion of their early adult lives, etc. It is the hereditary nature of wealth which is the largest contributor to long-term inequality.
Handy if you know the IP addresses, can you share please? I think after the service being unusable for so long Wasabi should be publishing this as a workaround.
What do you think "access" looks like?

There is no "big pasta". There's like a handful of companies[1] that make it all. I'm sure the execs all own yachts but if you were to compare executive fleet displacement it's more of a Venezuelan navy than a French navy. They can't just call up their lobbyist who's already scheduled to golf with a congressman every other weekend and tell them to bring it up on their next trip. Only the Googles and the Exxons of the world have that kind of access.

What really happens is the some company notices that "hey, those other people are doing X and they're not supposed to, I'm losing money because of it. Then they call up the congressman in their district and say "I employ people in your district and pay taxes and I am getting screwed because morons who you have oversight over are not doing their jobs, make them do their goddamn jobs" but in nicer words and with situation specific details. And then the congressman's aid writes an email to someone that explains the situation and asks the relevant people to please take a look at it again.

The law might be stupid and the complaint might be petty but it's better than living in a world where state and federal legislators don't try and solve their constituents problems with government. For every stupid pasta beef there's a dozen more legitimate complaints that cross the desk of whichever staffer is doing constituent relations. My point is that the process of getting "access" to one's congressman is not really as nefarious as people make it out to be.

>Medium sized businesses (up to $100m revenues) will find it very difficult even getting a response. Even getting their attention is a competitive advantage for large corporate.

For those that are inevitably about to argue and downvote the above... It seems the economy is returning, smartly, towards keynesian models because we've seen first hand how destructive the past 50 years of austerity and free market economics has become. Its clear to me that we need to have a strong government to save the economy from market failures, including but not limited to job guarantees echoing those of the new deal in the 30s. Don't have to be a marxist to see that.

How much of this is due to over-population? If the population of Bangladesh was 80 million instead of 160 million - giving each person access to theoretically double the amount of resources and land - would the net improvement be greater than 2x?

What about 40 million - would the improvement be 4x?

The solution may ultimately be a one-child policy, as demonstrated successfully by China.
This is why I never understood the intense Dakota Access Pipeline protests. Pipelines are much safer and better for the environment than shipping by rail. Shutting down the pipeline won't make the drilling stop, it will just make things worse for the environment and raise the cost of gas/oil
Citymapper is nice, but I disagree that it's massively superior:

1- When I was living south of London, Citymapper was completely pointless, since it only showed commuting options with SouthWest trains, and not Southern trains (my station was served by both). I suspect Citymapper might've fixed this since.

2- Maps also gives you all different options, and since some time ago they also started to offer mixed ride-hailing and public transport (they appear to offer that only if your public transport station is far enough from you probably > ~15 minutes walk?)

3- The other features are not that useful: since you'd use a monthly travelcard or pay as you go on your oyster/bank card, the cost estimate is not really something that you have to worry about. If you're a cash-strapped student, you're probably just going to always opt for the bus to save one or two pounds compared to the tube... so, just picking Bus as your preferred mode of transport is enough to cover that use case.

4- Citymapper is/was also inferior to Google maps when you need to quickly check/compare a (different) train that you just managed to hop into if it's not shown in the UI (maybe because it was delayed, and so it was not shown among the options). With Google maps you could just amend the start time for your trip.

5- One really nice feature that Citymapper has is the instructions for which tube exit to use when you arrive at the destination. It really helps to diminish the "which side is north?" disorientation. Otoh, you don't get that unless you actually start the trip (if you only use Citymapper to browse the route options, for example). OTOH, Google maps has AR navigation, which covers the same use case (orient yourself when you do the last bit of your trip on foot)

6- Both Maps and Citymapper have alert notifications for when you should get out at your stop. I almost never use the feature though, because I missed my tube stop a couple of times due to Citymapper triggering their notification AFTER the stop was already past)

7- Both Maps and Citymapper have a way to share your trip with other people. Citymapper is nicer though, since you can see all of the people that shared a trip with you on the same map (nice when you're meeting with more than 1 other friend from different parts of London)

That said, I dislike monopolies, so when I'll travel around London again (after the end of the pandemic) I'm planning to try to use maps.me (which uses the OSM data) as my first option.
Heating via compression is not the same as heating by friction.

When you squeeze a gas into a smaller volume it heats up because the heat energy of the gas which was spread out over the larger volume is now packed into a smaller one.

So, how do you decide who gets the rewards? Assuming not everyone can have every job/house/life.

Do you tell the people who get the rewards that they were given a chance at random (compared to their neighbor who was not) or do you let them believe they earned it?

For the record, I agree that merit is a bad system. Im curious to explore the ramifications of doing away with the system and how it would be different, if at all, from the current system.

For example, in a post-scarcity society, everyone has what they need, but some houses still have nicer views than others.
I suspect many who believe in meritocracy are already successful people who like to tell themselves they got there by merely being so much smarter than everyone else around them, dismissing the access, luck, (i.e. quality of schools they were born near), family wealth etc. almost entirely as a factor.
