I think car manufacturers have been specializing their chips and electronics more and more to avoid 3rd party servicing and now we see the fallout which could still be a win for them. Just jack up the prices! How about we standardize the chips used in automotive manufacturing to help alleviate this problem and cut down the number of unique SKUs fabs have to make.
Where would one find these kind of jobs? Practically all job boards I see just list standard companies doing ads, or whatever.
Little of what you've said is at odds with what I'm saying, it just is dressed up in the pop-Bayesian signifiers that seem to be popular right now.

To put it in that context, what I am contending is that people seem to have unreasonably high priors about the impact of this pandemic on suicides that don't seem to be based on much at all, and I believe underestimate the fundamental complexity of the world, that cause and effect are often difficult to trace.

The fact that you are comparing the idea that suicides have decreased during the pandemic with the existence of ESP is, I think, emblematic of exactly this sort of false overconfidence.

Anecdotes should have some, but marginal, impact on our posterior when coming head to head with data.

> Epistemology is impossibly hard. Determining the strength of evidence is hard. In the places that a paper contradicts our mental model of the world, the only sane approach is to question the paper.

References to the sanity of one approach over the other aside, I do not see how this follows from what you said before. I agree that determining the strength of evidence is hard. I would suggest that creating a causal model of the world from anecdata might be a bit harder.

e: As a sort of meta-point, I really do find it interesting the increasing currency of Bayesian concepts in pop imagination, often combined with arguments against good inference. It seems almost like pop-Bayesianism is the sophistry of the 21st century, both in the sort of argumentation that characterizes it and as a sociological phenomenon, who it appeals to.

The parent comment clearly references relative poverty, within one individual and therefore within one country.

Science is imperfect. If you don't like the results that science has told us, you can claim the opposite and you can believe the opposite, citing exceptions, as you have done.

But, that doesn't make the opposite true. You can provide your evidence also (in my personal opinion, a link to Wikipedia doesn't count as evidence).

I am not really up to date on the GPGPU world, but is OpenCL in such a bad shape that it is not really usable? If so that is very sad. Are there any alternative open hardware agnostic GPGPU apis or has CUDA eaten the entire market?

the patent for the lego figure is expired too. they still have a 3d design mark on the figure which bluebrixx is working now to overturn.

you tried to privately import a single box? i can understand lego going against commercial importers, but private shipments of individuals who don't have any resources to defend themselves, that's just ridiculous.

However, a kit without Lego names or logos, and without Lego-figures, and without any branding or copy of existing Lego-kit, should be ok.

and they are. but you have to make the effort to defend yourself against the accusations, which a commercial importer can do, but it's totally unfair to put that on individuals for a single set.

which set exactly did you try to import?

there are a few large importers in germany, you may consider those. avoids the hassle...
I imagine that we'd need hundreds or thousands of people in space to make such a base/fuel depot worth it - IIRC it's less fuel to use a transfer orbit than to go to L4 or L1 and stop on the way.

Such a thing might make sense once there are, say, 50 or 100 starships.

For the foreseeable future, all missions will "start" in Earth's gravity well due to the fact that the o2 and ch4 are all down here. It will be some years until we have significant fuel stores in space.

I totally forgot about this issue with dial-up modems. The good ones would temporarily pause a connection when someone picked up the phone and the cheapos would instantly lose the connection. My family was too poor to afford to phone lines and it made me value time online (also made me have to use the Internet at odd hours when people were unlikely to call the house).
I was thinking that too, and was fully expecting the top comment to be a joke about heat maps that are actually population maps, but it turns out there are some interesting insights I wouldn't have expected. Namely that there are substantial differences when comparing areas with light pollution legislation with similar unregulated areas; also interesting to see how much light pollution there is even at sea!
I have been looking to buy shocks for my motorcycle for months but the cost was very high and I wasn't sure I could spend the money. But every few days would check out the shocks online. Then I started noticing the shocks I wanted started selling out everywhere. You can not buy them on ebay even. I literally found the last place with a set and bought them. I did so because I noticed that after everywhere sold out the manufacturers website has suddenly increased their MSRP by $50. The place I found them at had them at the old price so I pulled the trigger before they went up.

I don't think any language actually solves this, and to be honest I'm in favour of the "it's someone else's problem" approach. Python packaging is complex enough without having Python try to actually solve this massively complicated secondary problem.

It was The Incredibles. That and my father was and still is an animator.

Very valid points about recaptchas. Now, what does that have to do with the Go programming language that is FOSS?

Or are you calling for developers to essentially put restrictive sanctions on any and all Google products/projects?

And if so, are you actually holding yourself to the same standard? Never using a recaptcha? Never visiting a site that uses Google Analytics? Never watching a YouTube video? Never using a device which runs the Android operating system? etc., etc.?

Because you seem to be demanding such a standard from the rest of us.

Orbital refueling is done for decades; e.g. Progresses supplied Soviet space stations with fuel to maintain the orbit.

What's trickier is orbital refueling of cryogenic liquids - LOX, liquid methane. It still looks easier than refueling with LH2, and ULA did a lot of work with that (search for "propellant depot"). Active cooling might be required; humanity had experience storing cryogenics in space for long time (e.g. Buran, which used LOX for RCS, was able to store it for a month on orbit), but we still might want a better solution (the one which actively turns vapors back into the liquid phase using onboard energy and radiators).

Yet there is little which seems too complex in the refueling idea.

What do you mean by blank pixels? Cycles is a MC path tracer. This means that it will always trace some paths that don't find high contributions to the final image. When this happens for the first couple of iterations when rendering progressively, these pixels stay darker than the rest. This is just how the algorithm works. You could try to apply a denoiser, but then you're not using the computational power to shoot more rays and you're replacing noise with bias.
Yeah thats probably a more reasonable explanation than my theory. On the other hand its pretty common to say silos, speedos (both for swimwear and slang for a speedometer) and flamingos in British english and they have very similar endings.
Exactly. Look at what is happening in the user car market for now. Used cars that people bought a few years ago are appreciating because the new ones are slow to hit the dealerships.
Also cars are interchangeable, if a consumer is not able to buy a model of a luxury car, they can always buy another one that might be higher priced.
This comment is higher up and many people don't make it to the bottom of the comments section, meaning it only takes a few downvotes early on to give those comments less attention and lower scores. "freedom" (for lack of a better word) is a controversial topic, so the relatively few people with the power to downvote may try their hands there.

I wouldn't really take this example as some rising trend. jokes are hard to be angry at. controversial topics (regardless of stance and care taken to be impartial, if any) are very easy.

That rather depends where you live: "Canada, the European Union, Israel, Japan and the United States classify Hamas as a terrorist organization. Australia, New Zealand, Paraguay and the United Kingdom classify only its military wing as a terrorist organization. It is not considered a terrorist organization by Brazil, China, Egypt, Iran, Norway, Qatar, Russia, Syria and Turkey. In December 2018, the United Nations General Assembly rejected a U.S. resolution condemning Hamas as a terrorist organization." (wikipedia).

Well, if the house should be worth anything, it won't be that cheap, yes. What you can find tons of is stuff like "Denkmalgeschützter Bauernhof Brandenburg" for really cheap, because the renovations will cost you big time. Same without Denkmalschutz (historical building protection), just not that cheap. A newly built house will cost far more than 100€/m² because building houses is expensive after all, and as you said, usually the ground is worth almost as much.

Because we don’t need rules like that today. America was a very different place than it is now. Those rules were there, not because they were shoot happy maniacs, or because they didn’t care about being “PC”, but because it was much more dangerous back then. It is the same reason that US soldiers stationed in Germany don’t have the same rules of engagement as soldiers in Afghanistan.
The amazing thing about these cases are exactly how many shitty things had to happen (and did) for this to occur. Like you say, where is the money? And why didn't anyone spot that more sub-post-masters were getting charged than almost all other employee types? Why didn't anyone manage to reproduce the error? Why did managers hide the reports (who does that?)?

I personally think this is partly down to the fact people don't get state defence lawyers anymore in the uk. You could accuse me of fraud with zero evidence and I likely would have to plead guilty as I don't have 20k for the down payment for a lawyer...

I have a 15" retina MacBook Pro from 2012, and another from 2018. The one from 2012 is fine for everyday use. But the difference in single core performance, and also IO, is substantial.

Another good reason, is that if there is no death penalty, or other violent punishment on the books, then calling for someone’s death is always a call to extralegal violence, and cannot be claimed to be a call for legal justice as it is today.

In all its iDevices, and mac with T2 security chip (so all the M1 devices now), Apple offers an anti-theft feature called the "Activation Lock" - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365 - once activated, you can use it to erase all data on your iDevice remotely and ensure that nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password. It's a useful feature.

But if a government (or Apple) wants, this can be abused - for example, tomorrow if your country goes to war to the US, the US government could ask Apple to disable all Apple devices in that country, and Apple could do it, whether you like it or not.

(The conspiracy theory part that others are hinting at is that many believe that this can be easily extended to totally cripple the device and make it unusable.)

> Malaria deaths peaked around 930,000 a year in 2004, and is around 600,000 a year now

Your link does a good job showing this, but for those who don't click and scroll down it's probably worth mentioning that the vast majority of those deaths are in central Africa. So it's not just a lot of deaths, but it's a really significant portion of the population and, as you said, mostly children.
For Google it definitely is. Most people jump at 4 year cliff, if they have the option
> I'm pretty sure you can still download past purchases from the Wii store too.

Correct, at least for now. You haven't actually been able to buy anything since 2019.

In my opinion, this was reason enough to find a complete archive of all the Wii Shop files and just go through the library to find the gems. It might be technically illegal, but the only legal process of obtaining any of these games is finding a Wii that happened to have a particular game already installed on it.

Instead of wasting money and acquiring dozens of otherwise-identical consoles, I opt for the preservation (formerly piracy) route.
If they are a good data storage company, the data is encrypted so they can't compress what they already have. Perhaps they could compress the new incoming data client side before encryption to save a few bits.
Pie menus are actually build into Blender now, but there's also a great Pie Menu Editor add-on that lets you easily build you own pie menus and other user interface widgets without coding in Python! Which is very important for making efficient custom workflows.

Alias (and now Autodesk) has been abusing the patent system and spreading FUD about marking/pie/radial menus being patented for decades, which inhibited 3dsmax and Blender from supporting them for many years. But now Blender has excellent support for pie menus, and they're not encumbered by patents.

Not relevant to production of consumer vehicles under a temporary shortage of high-tech parts (though, under a longer-term shortage, it might be) but the Soviets had an interesting approach to high-tech dependencies in their military equipment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_variants_of_Soviet_mili...

I first encountered the idea of "Monkey Models" in Suvorov's book (referenced on that page).

The TL;DR is that the Soviets would design their equipment with the best high-tech sensors, weapons, countermeasures, et c., that they could reasonably manage, but also design the equipment to function with much simpler parts & manufacturing processes. So a high-tech Soviet tank might have an electronic targeting system, but also be designed to work with a simpler glass-and-steel rangefinder that could be built with relatively simple tools, in a half-decent machine shop shed. They might fit their best models with advanced armor plating, but design a variant that replaced all that with a little extra steel. They'd do this with practically everything, including aircraft.

Why? Multiple reasons: 1) it let them export "new" equipment to allies and puppet-states at a lower cost and in much greater quantities, by selling them "monkey models" with much of the high-tech gear & parts swapped for low-tech counterparts (older generations of top-end gear would be sent to the closest allies/puppets or, more often, to domestic reserve units, in a kind of tiered system), 2) since most of the Soviet gear the West encountered was in direct or proxy wars with Soviet ally, client, or puppet states, the West couldn't gain much insight into the actual capabilities of modern Soviet equipment, 3) so-equipped allies would be starved of gear that could threaten the actual Soviet military, in case they became adversaries, 4) less-advanced allies could more easily maintain gear without so much high-tech junk in it, and 5) perhaps most importantly, it gave the Soviets a kind of supply-line defense-in-depth—they had not only designed these weapon systems so they could be built (as weaker versions) without high-tech manufacturing, but practiced doing it. In the event of a shooting war with, say, the US, the Soviets could keep shipping (inferior, but much better than nothing) tanks & aircraft to the front lines even if all their high-tech facilities were bombed out of existence and they lost access to advanced materials (say, high-tech armor material), with hardly a hiccup.
It doesn't say anywhere that you can also distribute copies of the copyrighted work, though.
