I think most of practical timing attacks are on software pieces rather than hardware, if two threads interact using some way (pipes, IPC, TCP) you can't blame the CPU for the inter-threads leaks, looks for example how a simple RSA timing attack works, it depends on software implementation.
Of course you can use branch-less code to avoid timing leak at some point, but some leaks depend on the algorithm.

One of the greatest advantages of Sentinel 2 is its revisit time of 5 days, if you count both satellites. Even though resolution is 10 m for RGB, it's true RGB, not some pan-sharpened soup like in the case of Landsat. It's good enough to track e.g. construction works. Or environmental matters like water bodies, deforestation etc. Compared to other free imagery 5 days is real-time ;)
They do - by comparison, existing financial systems use much less energy, which is why a popular "argument" is to claim that you should count military expenditures into it (which honestly makes no sense unless you believe in some weird axioms...)

Another issue is that BTC siphons off the build up in green energy by wasting it - without miners setting up shop close by to turn your green energy into heat, you have to ensure you have either someone else nearby to sell (lots of real world focus on hydrogen energy storage recently as way to capture such excess) or invest in transfer capacity to clients.

The reason both are done by Tesla is that there's an economic reason to link electric cars with self-driving.

Electric cars are more expensive, depreciate like other cars, but have powertrains that go a lot more miles before wearing out. As long as these things are true, it makes sense to pile on the miles as fast as you can. Even at cost parity, if obsolescence reduces the car's value fast enough, you still want to rack up the miles to maximize the economic benefit of that powertrain. Self-driving taxis are a great way to do that.

There's a climate benefit too. It takes a long time to replace the entire fleet, if you're waiting for people to buy themselves new cars. The more people ride self-driving electric taxis, the faster we lower emissions.
Divorces aren't rare, but they also hit a 50-year low last year. This wasn't a COVID outlier, it's the continuation of a trend. Lots of reasons for this that don't necessarily undercut your argument though (e.g., fewer people getting married in the first place).

This assumes you have sending a huge tanker full of fuel.

I've not seen a direct connection between the two (at least in terms of denigrating). It's true that there is gatekeeping of 'gaming' that tends to look down on mobile gamers (in the sense that mobile games aren't 'real games' by some arbitrary and stupid metric), and the same is also true of women gamers (though more in the sense that there's many accusations of women gamers faking interest in gaming for attention or are somehow less invested in it than 'real gamers', again by some arbitrary metric). It's also true that women make up a much larger proportion of mobile gamers than gamers on other platforms. I'm sure there are some who will (through the lenses of the other biases I've mentioned) view this as evidence that women are 'fake gamers'. I'm not too familiar with whether this is actually a common trope or not, though (I'm not in a position to receive this flack nor do I hang out in places likely to give it out).

(Either way I think the argument that this means the article is intrinsicly sexist is definitely reaching. It seems the accusation of gatekeeping is more valid, though I think this requires a pretty uncharitable interpretation of something which is clearly aiming elsewhere)
Pretty much all the repairs I've had to do on my cars would still need to happen on EVs.

In fact, with the exception of a clutch, every time any car I've owned has broken down its been a part which is common on EVs.

EVs still have dampers, ball joints, springs, brakes, wheel bearings, steering alignment. They still have power steering motors, lights, wing mirrors, windscreens. Those are all things I've replaced at some point.

EVs still corrode. EVs still have design flaws which mean water leaks into the cabin. EVs still have wiring issues (perhaps more!). EVs also weigh significantly more, which means the suspension has to work harder.

I'm sure EVs require _less_ maintenance (especially when they're less than 10 years old), and not having to do an annual/mileage based service is nice. But the idea that they're maintenance free is just nonsense. No car is.
Without listing the actual misconceptions some people have, it's hard to say 'the left brain/right brain divide' is a misconception since I was already aware of this understanding that they just observe in different ways, not that "left brain is creative and right is logical". I grew up with the internet, though, so my understanding didn't solely originate from grade school science books that might be simplifying this phenomenon.

I agree about engine oil being a differentiator. I disagree about >10k miles with synthetics (maybe valid only under ideal circumstances, such as long trips, driver only, nice weather, good fuel ...).

For the rest of the lubricants (e.g. gearboxes), I can't really tell, but these normally last e.g. 5 years on an ICE and are not that expensive (except some funky auto transmissions).

Air filter is probably the cheapest and the easiest thing to replace on an ICE. Literally a 5 min job (washing your hands included :)).

Totally agree about annual inspections (of which breaks, suspension and lights checks are probably the most important).

I would seriously doubt the claimed brake fluid longevity on EVs. The biggest problem with brake fluid is that it is hygroscopic and you have to replace it e.g. every 3 years.

I strongly agree and sympathize with the last one about being forced to the brand-specific/dealership garage. I have the feeling this has become trendy for all manufacturers to build a "subscription" based business model.

We recently tried to use Discord to set up community servers for our users. Turns out that Discord has an extremely sensitive bot detection filter which made it hard for a lot of users to get into the server in the first place. Of course, we can’t turn it off and Discord wasn’t interested in helping us, so we had to scrap the integration and find another solution.

TLDR: Wouldn’t recommend Discord for a professional use case

Sure, the fair value might slowly climb over time due to losses, but that has nothing to do with the fact that it's the target of a lot of speculation.

The fact that there is some small rate of losses doesn't significantly impact the amount of downside speculation you'd expect.

How will you define π times π as a repeated addition, i.e. something of the form x + x + … + x?
Obviously it's still a ton of work being a farmer. But the problems you face are never ones of incompetence by your boss's boss, you can effect change any time you want, and the work you do leads to simple, ethical, productive outcomes. If you don't mind working hard for a start-up but are always pissed at organizational incompetence, maybe farming is the answer.
I still see a lot of ways in which users could be de-anonymized, sometimes a single URL is already sufficient and side channels like the quorum mechanism might leak information as well. Maybe it's really anonymous, but personally I don't trust any mechanism that doesn't have a statistical anonymity guarantee, differential privacy being the preferred one as it's the only anonymity model that hasn't been broken yet.

Anyway, it's great that Cliqz did this work and I don't want to diminish it, I'm just very cautious when companies claim they're only collecting anonymous data, there were just too many cases in which promises have been broken.
I think that should be based on your dietary requirements and what amino acid and vitamin gaps you are trying to fill. There are breakdowns of the vitamin content somewhere on their site and I think I also found it in the Amazon questions section. I use 6 when I only have protein shakes but I use less when I eat a complete meal. That is just my personal preference.
At this point, you are simply arguing in bad faith. Nobody is claiming that unions are a solution for everything. But companies like Amazon go to extraordinary lengths to prevent unionization, while at the same time treating their employees like shit. And Amazon is not alone in this. In the US, companies are generally hostile to unions. And they make sure they fund anti union politicians too.

Unions have their problems, nobody is disputing that. Even with all their problems, it is better to have unions than not have them at all.

Also, it is not one off case with Amazon.

Have you thought about what a person can do with 200B dollars? Why would one need that much money? Sure, if they made it without fucking up the environment, without treating their employees badly, without bending tax rules etc etc, then more power to them. But that is not the case, is it?

In combat sports, there are weight categories and there are strict rules. Know why? It provides a level playing field. In today's capitalism, there is no level playing field. It is like a 100 pound man (workers) fighting a 300 pound man (wealthy companies with politicians in their pockets). If you want to continue to argue that unchecked capitalism is the way to go, it is upto you.
My guess is they used something akin to a laser level to identify the high and low spots. Then you grade down the highs and fill in the lows with the machines.
Is it your contention that the sole purpose of the US military is to back the value of a dollar? Because if that is the case, and you are still unable to see why people think you're silly, then there is little hope for you.

Recordings are often recent.
The entire point is that people are inherently unaware of many of assumptions or personal "theories of the world" they are applying to their evaluations of people, places, and things. Asking people to "drop their assumptions altogether" is like asking people "just don't behavior with any cognitive biases." You may as well punch the ocean for all the good it will do. People, like the OP, just will not be self-aware enough across contexts and moments, especially when thinking and reacting in real-time.

And I do not degree, nor do I really understand (which is likely the issue) the idea that trying to become aware of your own privileges that you take for granted others don't have is somehow tied to a moral judgment of others.

EDIT: But I do think in support of your point that all of us could do with more intentional mindfulness in how we see and react to the world. I don't want my comment to be a signal that efforts to have fewer pre-baked assumptions or biases are futile. But saying "drop your assumptions" is like telling someone upset to "just calm down."
Here, the relevant key is the output of the hash function though -- that's what you need to increase in order to ensure you can reach all buckets. And that (k) must increase with the table size. So it is not constant and depends on n (table size).

I had the same reaction to parts. This in particular:

> So why does the myth of a compartmentalized brain persist? One reason is that brain-scanning studies are expensive. As a compromise, typical studies include only enough scanning to show the strongest, most robust brain activity. These underpowered studies produce pretty pictures that appear to show little islands of activity in a calm-looking brain. But they miss plenty of other, less robust activity that may still be psychologically and biologically meaningful. In contrast, when studies are run with enough power, they show activity in the majority of the brain.

Another, more relevant reason, is that brain-scanning studies are in their infancy.

So it has the same problems as the rest of the web when it comes to rendering issues. I know Electron gets bad press cause of memory hogging, but controlling the view is essentials so all users have the same experience.
I get the author's beef with the idea that discrete brain areas peform discrete tasks - if there's one thing my neuroscience MSc taught me it's that the brain processes things in parallel rather than series, which is what most of those theories rest on - but I think part of the issue is that we try to impose existing words, like "memory", onto the brain. One of the more productive lines of thinking I used when studying was trying to throw out all of those definitions and try to work from first principles about the kind of processing various areas were doing. Of course it's impossibly complex to get understand it in totality (which is probably partially what drives specialising in particular brain areas), but discarding the limits imposed by language really helped me think more flexibly about what it might be doing.

Also, a small nit about the way it was presented was using plasticity (i.e. areas area able to perform different kinds of processing if the inputs change, e.g. blindfold + braille) as evidence of non-specialisation. That's doesn't follow. Just because neurons can be flexible doesn't mean they're not performing a discrete task, although I agree with the general conclusion.
No one will miss dealers and that is entirely the fault of dealerships. An interesting business opportunity in their wake is to find a way to profit from a multi-brand test drive center. I'd love to drive 5 brands against each other - especially unfamiliar newer tech like electrics - without driving to five dealerships. As dealerships close, it will become even more difficult to decide on a car. Not every purchase or lease is as simple as Amazon.
"But climate justice must mean giving leadership and power to those who will bear the worst effects of climate catastrophe...."

I guess this claim depends on the definition of "climate justice." But if we broaden that "climate fixing" (which is how I initially took it, before going back to the original quote and noticing the word justice), what has to happen is that those in power need to care about the problem and know what to do to fix it. This can happen by putting power into the hands of those who care and know what to do and it can happen by changing the goals and know-how of those who currently have power. Neither option is easy!

Another nuance is likely environmental. They probably could transport the fuel in a big tank and then offload it to smaller containers, but that is a bulk fueling procedure that could go wrong/leak/spill. It is environmentally safer to transport fuel in closed containers all the way to the final destination.
Millions is a low value in terms of wealth and makes only really sense to mention it if your previous wealth was significant different. But going from some million to some more million is saying they went from being rich to staying being rich. There seems to have not reached a significant difference in the level of their wealth.

It could be written far better without mentioning numbers.
Assuming they have enough fuel margin they could probably just fly back up a few meters and try again in the rare case of an unexpected event causing an imperfect landing approach. Doesn't seem much worse than a helicopter in that regard.

I agree it'll probably be quite a while before they reach that level of safety though. This is brand new technology, and it's not going to reach the level of reliability of traditional aircraft without decades of experience with different failure modes and techniques for mitigating them.
