> Google’s Going to Regret Its Australia Search Threat

> But issuing threats isn’t going win them any favors.

I like how the first and last lines are counter-threats, but there's absolutely no mention of how google is going to regret this. Are they going to force google to participate in a market that the company wants to pull out of? How?

I'm concerned about the idea of open source turning into teaser content, the main goal of which is to get people to pay to unlock "sponsors only" content.
because the aforementioned website is known almost exclusively for porn.

Some, maybe most, people would be fine with it, nothing wrong with it really.

But if you're trying to earn a living why cut yourself off from the 50% of people that wouldn't subscribe due to the site name only.
Employers will consider employing candidates with blemishes, especially when the labor market is tight, it is possible to terminate poor workers, and the minimum wage is not too high. I don't think trying to erase people's records is a good idea. The article mentions past records having a "disproportionate impact on people of color", but in the absence of such information, a Bayesian will use demographic information to predict whether an applicant has a criminal record. Some research has found that this is the result of "ban the box" legislation.
Don't worry, we're talking at cross purposes and don't seem to be understanding the others point. Let's leave it here.

>If you take the purely metaphysical approach, there is a maximum capacity for intelligence that any one individual has. Evolutionary biology has told us, thus far to our understanding, that this is brain size.

I don't think these days that it's accepted that 'brain size' necessarily determines 'maximum capacity for intelligence' for the record. My understanding is that this is a rather outdated way of thinking about the brain and intelligence.

>Luckily, there is much more to a brain when you look at it under a microscope, and most neuroscientists now believe that the complexity of cellular and molecular organization of neural connections, or synapses, is what truly determines a brain’s computational capacity. This view is supported by findings that intelligence is more correlated with frontal lobe volume and volume of gray matter, which is dense in neural cell bodies and synapses, than sheer brain size. Other research comparing proteins at synapses between different species suggests that what makes up synapses at the molecular level has had a huge impact on intelligence throughout evolutionary history. So, although having a big brain is somewhat predictive of having big smarts, intelligence probably depends much more on how efficiently different parts of your brain communicate with each other.
Ok, I was asking specifically for data that shows that people buy hybrids because they don't have somewhere to charge(rather than, for instance, that they get a nice tax discount by doing so). In my other comment I pointed out that on my street there's someone else with a PHEV and I have never seen him charge it, even though he could easily do so - private driveway, plenty of space, if he wanted to then he could.

And while I agree with you in general, I think you obsess with the official numbers a little bit too much. In my previous mercedes AMG the official numbers were something like 6L/100km, in normal use it was hard to get under 12L/100km. Those numbers just don't mean anything.

And if you see somewhere that the fleet average for the XC60 T8 is just 7L/100km then that's frankly fantastic. It's a 2.2 tonne SUV with 400bhp. That's an incredible fuel consumption(as in - low) even if it's above the official numbers. Do you happen to know what the fleet average for the XC60 T6 is? That's the same petrol engine without the hybrid system(not the PHEV T6). Because I imagine that fleet average will be closer to 12-14L/100km than 7L/100km.

My point is that for most people who ever charge the car the PHEV is an improvement. It's those who don't charge it who are the problem, but I'm confident this is a problem of legislation and/or tax rabates.
That's their point though. They wont have any.
I was hoping someone would bring this up for discussion. It is a very valid point and a very possible future. One that I approve and applaud.
Might be unknown to many how close we were to total MS dominance on the server side (in addition to the desktop which was owned by MS anyway) around 1992-6 and the push that Java and also the web got from Unix and open systems fans who weren't comfortable to surrender it all to MS.

Around 2000ish there was this push for "100% pure Java" re-implementations for common libs and stuff showing the power of a community sharing a common goal, but also the blueprint for a language-centric ecosystem (not my cup of tea) that's also present in today's Rust, Go, Python, and Node.js communities, though Node.js booted off CommonJs and older SSJS initiatives who were mostly Java drop-outs fleeing from Java's AbstractEnterpriseIntegrationPattern-ness.

I like mmap and I don't.

It is incompatible with non-blocking I/O since your process will be stopped if it tries to access part of the file that is not mapped -- this isnt a syscall blocking (which you might work around) but rather any attempt to access mapped memory.

I like mmap for tasks like seeking into ZIP files, where you can look at the back 1% of the file, then locate and extract one of the subfiles; the trouble there is that the really fun case is to do this over the network with http (say to solve Python dependencies, to extract the metadata from wheel files) in which case this method doesnt work.
The typical POWER9 chip has between 80-100~ MB of L3 cache available, which I imagine is more than enough to hold Linux and your choice of userland application in cache.

>Whether it’s widely used as a currency is irrelevant to whether it can be.

It's not used as a currency because of transaction fees. I still remember Steam pulling support for bitpay because people couldn't get their transactions through fast enough because the fees exceeded the value of the transaction. By the time the transaction went through the value of the Bitcoin has changed and you had to send the missing amount in a separate transaction.

You pay $5 transaction fees to pay for a $50 dollar game and then get told that you are missing $1.25. Sending the missing money costs $6.25. A refund costs $5 in transaction fees. On some days the transaction fees were well above the value of the game so you could not do a refund even if you wanted to. Paying $55 to refund a $50 transaction doesn't make sense. Paying $56.25 to transfer the missing amount doesn't make sense either. Your money is just gone and you didn't even get a game.

Proof-of-stake has different properties than proof-of-work.

For example, given n different chains, proof-of-work (PoW) reaches consensus simply by choosing the chain with the most work — irrespective of block contents. Proof-of-stake (PoS), on the other hand, requires granting special meaning to a particular public key (in the first block) in order to reach consensus.

So PoW reaches consensus without granting special meaning to any public key while PoS requires this in order to work.
Not necessarily, most games on Game Pass are on a Spotify-like business model: your subscription is split between the games you played that month. Some releases (mostly day-one additions) just get one lump of cash but so far a lot of those were based on demand and which games people were waiting for.
I think in this case they would actually stand to gain if they could just say "whelp, you heard the board, unban his account. sorry folks, nothing we can do, our hands are tied"

This tool is essentially built to destroy itself, simply by helping its core function to become an overused trope and therefore quietly disappearing into the ether again and die.

Fully aware that I am very likely making Clubhouse a better place through this, however. Hence, the hope for this to be so overused it dies off quickly again ;)

This is one area where Rust, a modern systems language, has disappointed me. You can't allocate data structures inside mmap'ed areas, and expect them to work when you load them again (i.e., the mmap'ed area's base address might have changed). I hope that future languages take this usecase into account.
This is like a nuclear bomb, how they can invest that much without any benefits (look in Africa), this money is considered as military investment that's why

The problem isn't so much the fuel, it's the ancient piston aircraft (or at least, ancient engine designs) that are still kicking around.

There are modern piston aircraft engines that not only run fine on unleaded fuel [1], but are even certified to run on standard automotive fuel ("Mogas"). There are videos on YouTube of pilots landing on remote highways and pulling up to regular gas station pumps to refuel their aircraft!

Hi HN,

I'm the author of various desktop tools (including popular Rainlendar desktop calendar) introducing my latest side project: Rainclip. It's a clipboard history / snippet / text expander tool which runs both on Mac and Windows. I'm quite aware that there are a lot of similar tools available but none of them suited for my purpose so I decided to create one for myself. Hopefully it will be useful for others too.

Any kind of feedback is welcome. Thanks.
> The SWP's standing among young, idealistic socialists exploded after it emerged that ...

Not to take away from your otherwise excellent post, but your use of the word 'exploded' seems ambiguous. I take it you mean that their standing went down, i.e. their standing was reduced to rubble. However, I am much more used to seeing exploded used to describe a large increase, e.g. downloads for our latest app have exploded after reducing the price.
Yeah, I was already thinking about something like that. The intention behind my question was to use what I'm really good at.
I find it hilarious that these Marxist dimwits think they are coming up with some new idea. Its a fossil of an idea with a long track record of top-down oppression, corruption, and progression stagnation where nothing gets built in perpetuity. You can try to make the system more fair without going full neanderthal. The Marxist movement gets a lot of spoiled upper middle class kids who want the govt to take care of them like mommy and daddy did because they realize its going to take real work and slim odds to get the same standard of living they grew up with. And thats just called life. By definition not everyone can be above the average life quality. A great way to kill the standard you have and for everyone is to kill production and attack the capital markets.

At the end of the day life quality is a logistical issue above all else. Jeff Bezos is not going around the country buying up all the single family homes and hoarding all the doctors in the country for his knee injury. If you want better medicine you need to invent more efficient technology through the capital markets to serve people. If you want more homes you need to invent better home building techniques to cater to the masses. Thats how increased efficiency works and its why our lives generally get better with services and quality of live each decade. Thats not to say there are not tweaks and governing to be done to the capital markets (the govt is the conductor), but this is the general aspiration and trend.
At some point, you get to fundamentals. "Why live?" is not, IMO answerable logically or by reference to other things.

That said, wanting not to die is fairly compatible with all our other beliefs and judgements. Murder is bad, for example. That's pretty compatible with not wanting to die.
> I wouldn't have a problem with social media per se for my kids.

The thing is that the people/kids dying because of dumb challenges or the occasional illegal/gore/murder videos &c... aren't even the problem

These things are built to steal your attention and use every trick in the book to make you a brainless scroll monkey. There is a reason why not a single SV executive will let their kids anywhere close to social medias. These things destroy people's brains, and especially the brains of kids which are still developing and are extremely malleable to this type of conditioning. tiktok/snapchat/instragram &co bring absolutely nothing good to a kid's life, they're pure distraction devices

> parents can identify their children's contacts quickly and they can observe the black sheep closely and in the worst case try to prevent any further contact

Unless you monitor your kids 24/7: no, and again, these tools, even when used "safely" are still engineered to artificially trigger and reinforce the most basic reward pathways of your brain and this won't bring anything good to your kid's life

You can very well make the analogy with weed or alcohol. What might be fine for an healthy adult (able to set his own boundaries and conscious of the potential risks) would destroy a 10 years old kid very quickly

There’s some element of fear as embodied in the aviation regulations.

There’s not as much fear in the owner/pilot population, in large part because of those regulations. If any of the 100UL candidates pass certification, it’s a fair bet that they’ll be safe and I’ll have no concern with flying on them.

The real issue is that while you can suffer a 10% power or energy-density reduction (such as from alcohol displacing gasoline in the fuel) in an automotive application without any appreciable loss of safety and minimal loss of functionality, the same is not true for aircraft. Piston aircraft takeoffs are always* done at maximum available power and a 10% loss of power is cause for an abort.

So it’s unlikely that a fuel with materially worse performance would be certified.

* - There were some extremely old multi-engine transports which had tables for reduced power takeoffs and some pilots mistakenly do them today, but the overwhelming practice is 100% of available.
