> the endpoint where you intuitively understand exactly what a Many-Worlder, Copenhagenist, or Bohmian would say about any given issue, and also how they’d respond to each other, and how they’d respond to the responses, etc. but after years of study and effort you’ve returned to the situation of the baby, who just sees the thing for what it is.
For sure. The even-order harmonic distortion can sound "good" though. It's not my cup of tea but I wouldn't say somebody's crazy if they prefer it!

LPs are a slightly more interesting discussion IMO. Objectively inferior to Redbook audio by a mile. But, given the 30-40dB noise floor even in a "quiet" room, and the THD added by the loudspeakers, I think their real-world performance competes very very well with digital audio...

Why is that crazy? Between eggs and pests "diffusing" into adjacent buildings only to "diffuse" back after a sweep, I can completely understand why a town would opt for the nuclear option after a few failed attempts to get rid of an infestation.
Is it? How do you know? Have you reviewed the budgets? Do you work in education in Baltimore, and thus, have a sense of what an appropriate number would be?

I don't know the answers, but I do know this -- it's a hell of a lot less than what gets spent in the NY metro area.
E = q2 F basically motivates & defines the electric field from first principles by normalizing the force against the charge of the particle experiencing it. It relates the object to the properties of its surrounding space.

D = q1 / 4 pi R^2 describes the effect the first particle has on space at the location of the second particle. It relates the subject to the properties of its surrounding space.

And D = E epsilon of course tells you how those quantities relate to each other. It's basically the verb. Together these describe how two stationary particles interact with each other electrically. They link the subject and object together. Think of it as subject -> verb -> object.

The motivation for all of is to decouple things so we can reason about them independently.

Hopefully that's lucid and intuitive?
I mean, there are definitely places where hard wrapping makes sense or is the only option. I’m not saying it’s never the right thing to do, just that with emails or full-Markdown docs specifically it tends to restrict the ability to render in an optimal manner more than it helps.

"Moving the goalposts", like "attacking a straw man" and "derailing", is a well-known informal fallacy. As you desire that we all use logic, surely you agree that these concepts and terms should not be restricted to formal debate.

Mishegos looks really nice!

Yes, that's half of what I was suggesting!

With a little bit of additional work, Mishegos could also be used to test x86 Assemblers... and/or to "pit" x86 Assemblers vs. x86 Disassemblers...

Something I didn't know was a thing, that I really shouldn't be surprised about, is that website owners actually jump through some hoops to further sell out the users privacy. FB has the "Conversion API" where they enable website owners to basically "manually" track you by attaching an ID to users and sending "events" to FB via their API, in lieu of try to do so with a tracking pixel. Literally, it's an API to subvert people trying _NOT_ to be tracked with ad blockers and hostfiles etc. FB isn't even the only company that has an API like this, apparently, it's pretty established and developers/site owners are more than happy to narc you out if it means they can extend their advertising reach a little.
You can buy a couple different Qualcomm-based Windows ARM laptops today, like the Surface Pro X. There's even a ~5 year old Asus (or maybe Acer) laptop using a Snapdragon processor that you can find for dirt cheap on ebay.

ARM is not the gatekeeper or reason why windows on ARM is lagging--the ARM ISA is fully documented and available to license holders (of which Microsoft is certainly one). Microsoft is the reason windows on ARM is a bit of a hot mess. They let the windows ARM platform languish for years and are scrambling like mad to catch up now (both in the Azure server space, and in the consumer space).
Probably because we learn about points by drawing them on a graph at some point in math class, so we imagine them having an area. I think points are an abstract construct. Sort of like infinity - you can never truly reach it. Or imagine it.
There is an historical abstract from his own (lost) journals extant which casts some light on this.
I mean, by the time we find it it won’t be niche and arcane any more :-)

While that's true, at some point, the rule changes went from reactive to to peremptory. Now one can be banned just for upvoting content that is considered "rule-breaking". The crime is no longer posting the wrong content, it's expressing the wrong thoughts/reactions. I wouldn't be surprised if, in the near future, reddit started ip-blocking users based on what sites they linked from or started using an Elo-based profile rating system to remove profiles or whole subreddits en masse.

It’s a site offering to connect people with leftover COVID19 vaccines.

I did take a look and my alarms are going off, but can’t be 100% sure this is a scam.

Some friends already gladly signed up.

At signup the site collects a lot of personal information including phone number, age, and health conditions.

Pushes signees to promote the site to everyone on social media and via sms. (Starting to get traction on Twitter).

Privacy policy mentions that the provided information will be used for marketing.

There’s no (at this time) information about any affiliation with vaccine distributing entities of any kind.

The only contact information is via email.

No one knows of anyone who has been vaccinated through the site yet.

Does anybody know more about this project? Is it trustworthy?

What would help you decide in such a situation?

This is the surefire way to create conflict where there could have been a peaceful resolution. Learning to tolerate and ignore is a blessing IMO. If it gets excessive and affect's people's lives, jobs, personal threats, yes - that's not excusable.

It turns out when you ignore people, they get the point. You don't need to bark back at dogs. Keep your head up, mind your own business and move on.
To me, it sounds like a step in the right direction. :)

Google, FB, (etc) being able to unilaterally suspend people's accounts without any way of recovery (happened to me when I moved country) is just the tip of the iceberg of what's wrong.

Being able to lawyer up and draw things out for years has given these companies far too much arrogance towards their users.

Hopefully meaningful changes occur - even if extraordinarily expensive for the tech companies - to bring them into line with other public utilities. ;)

Why does the school system need to fine or lock people up? Sure that’s what would be required to force compliance but I don’t think the issue is that kids don’t want to go to school at all.

The parent comment even mentions that they have the option to contact juvenile services but can also provide counseling. That seems like the real answer in probably the vast majority of cases.

Technically, 32-bit fixed-point numbers have 8-bit more precision compared to 32-bit floating-point numbers, but the real problem is it's quite cumbersome to fully utilize the precision offered by fixed-point numbers as you'd have to keep in mind their numerical range all the time.

I feel like your analysis has a huge blind spot. Your analysis seems to assume that the social structure can be explained in terms of economics and government policy. Those things are clearly factors. But whatever money, jobs, and municipal resources you think are lacking in Baltimore, it’s exceedingly wealthy compared to villages in Bangladesh. But Bangladesh manages to have mostly intact local communities, low crime rates, limited gang violence, etc. And that’s because it follows traditional social norms with respect to marriage, fatherhood, and child rearing.

The poverty rate for children in single mother households is four times higher than for children in married couple households. For millennials who graduate high school, work full time, and then get married before having children, 97% live above the poverty line.

There’s only a handful of census tracts in the US where low income Black men enjoy similar upward income mobility to low income white men. They have certain features you’d expect: higher overall incomes, lower racism among whites. But they are also conspicuous in having high numbers of fathers present: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/03/19/upshot/race-c... (“And, intriguingly, these pockets — including parts of the Maryland suburbs of Washington, and corners of Queens and the Bronx — were the places where many lower-income black children had fathers at home. Poor black boys did well in such places, whether their own fathers were present or not.”). This result is a no-brainer to my dad, or pretty much everyone in Bangladesh, but is deemed a “pathbreaking finding” by the likes of Harvard sociologists.

So why do people refuse to acknowledge the possibility that the breakdown in marriage and fatherhood is part of what causes the breakdown of the local community? To be clear, there’s lots of factors in play and they are coupled. The kid who gets sent to Rikers for stealing a backpack probably doesn’t become an attentive, involved father. Mass incarceration, loss of middle class jobs, etc. There are lots of things need to be solved.

But at the same time, the blind spot around family structure—refusing to label it a problem that also needs to be solved along with the other things—is actually destroying lives. That’s especially true for lower-income Americans. Upper middle class people still adhere to traditional norms in their own lives: they graduate school, get married, and raise children in wedlock, in that order. It’s lower income Americans, not just in Baltimore but across rural America, where those norms have deteriorated the most. And it’s those communities, especially the women and children, that bear the brunt of these social changes.

There’s a good chance that those messages have to be setup by first logging into that portal which might not be easy or obvious to do. It could be made easy by having the default being sent mail notices every X days by default but it also could be that there’s some access code needed to create an account on some difficult to navigate website. In that case it’s likely that lots of parents who aren’t tech literate won’t be able to/know to access the portal or get the notices.

Wow. As a non American, that's insane. If this keeps up for next 20 years or so, it could have catastrophical consequences for maths in USA where blending in matters more than raw talent.
It sounds like it, and it might be, but testing for weed really does impact recruiting. I know of a very large US firm that has quietly stopped including it in their drug test over the past 3-4 years in part because of that.

I 100% share your concerns. What you and I hate is the predatory, indenturing nature of for-profit colleges that don't provide marketable skills--what currently exists. The certificate from UoP, Coursera, or the receipt from a Ruby on Rails book all have the same market value when applying for a job, but I hope everyone here has bought and got value from a tech book.

I honestly don't know what makes universities work. Their "mission" to educate in the US has definitely crept towards for-profit. Seeing endowments grow multiple times over but their student body stay the same size. Over the past few decades they've teased by publishing course materials online, but have usually been very protective. I can't imagine this not changing over the next few decades.

Like you point out, entry level stuff scales really well. Maybe "graduate level" material costs a premium or its a loss-leader as a way add prestige? University undergrad often has "filter classes" which always seemed like a money grab because otherwise their admissions and onboarding departments aren't doing their job. Graduate classes were always much smaller and hard for people to afford.

This chips really don't seem to be a good use of Intel's limited fab capacity. The CPU cores are substantially larger while offering basically no benefits other than AVX-512 support. It looks like Intel would have been better off pairing the upgraded IO and integrated graphics with their existing, smaller Skylake cores.
"Cursed" comes from meme culture. It's not derogatory.

If you had asked me about NVIDIA, since I run Wayland on Linux, I would have probably been much more biased.

Regarding the last point, you can learn more about it here:

AMD's similar MxGPU is only available on Radeon Pro and their Workstation graphics:

https://www.amd.com/en/graphics/workstation-virtual-graphics

Regarding other factors to consider, I really don't have anything else. If ECC is important, then as you mentioned Intel doesn't offer ECC on these chipsets.

Additionally, AMD's advanced security features like memory guard is only available on the PRO processors, however there are versions of the 4650GE Pro and 4750GE Pro for a descent price point:

More advanced capabilities like SEV are only supported by EPYC from what I can tell, which is what various cloud providers are now using for confidential computing:

So Postfix does about 1/10th of what Exchange does, and is secure. Very well, do one thing and do it well.

You talk about composing it with other stuff to create a system, but fail to mention if that system will still be more secure than Exchange. Even if each component of the system is individually very secure, that still doesn't tell you much about the security of the system. It's extremely easy to piece together two secure components and obtain 0 security.

Edit: accidentally said 'not secure' instead of 'secure' in first statement, completely changing the meaning. Corrected in-place.

I am not being sarcastic!

You see, I've had the same thoughts (about the many paradoxes in the existing knowledge of electricity) for a long, long time!

This article goes a long way towards challenging the "status quo" with respect to what is currently known and/or popularly believed about electricity...
