It should be pointed out that the record depth in the area is not Tarek Omar's 203 meters as the article mentions, it's Nuno Gomes' 318 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuno_Gomes_(diver)). This, with all due respect to Omar who is indeed an incredible diver.

Also, the article speaks of mermaids so I'll just add on a lighter note that for a long while there was a toy mermaid tied to the over-hang mid way through the arch.

Heat is not equally intense or similarly distributed between different stove types. Gas cooking delivers intense heat along a trajectory that follows the curve of the pan, and allows for thin pan materials with low heat capacity. The natural result of this is the wok, which cooks the best over a gas flame on high settings.

Want a restaurant-quality stir-fry? Your only choice is a wok on an intense gas plume. The thin material of the wok gives it low heat capacity, meaning that when you turn on the heat it rises in temperature very fast, and cools relatively fast when you turn it off. This allows very precise control necessary to get the best flavor. The wok is curved, which is critical to mixing ingredients correctly while cooking, but the gas flame does a fine job of following the form of the pan to give adequate heating throughout. Electric or induction stoves come short on both aspects: you need thicker pans (higher heat capacity) with flatter resistive elements built-in. You simply can't get the same flavor with those setups.

So no, it's not so simple as "heat is heat."

Pay attention to the kitchen next time you're in a Chinese or Thai restaurant. They really make use of the industrial gas-powered ranges that are universally equipped in their kitchens.

They are only easy to enforce because we have a huge bureaucratic apparatus in place. Imagine all the work that goes into correctly registering all the sales and spending in companies as well as the other side that checks these reports.

Sales taxes are among the most inefficient taxes in existence.

I am in favor of higher taxes but taxes should be evaluated based on there influence on the market and there efficiency. Sales tax scores poor in both categories.

> But then he kept on having sex with her, including when she was saying that she didn't want him to.

Nope, the article doesn't contain such claims.

> It is rape to have sex with a woman who didn't want it and told you not to.

Yes it is.

> She describes exactly that happening later in the conference.

No, she does not.

> Yes, she tried to convince herself that it was consensual. And he tried to convince her of the same. But that is also a common pattern for rape, both her attempt to deny it and his to gaslight her.

Two people have sex. Both people come out thinking the sex was consensual. Both people think for months that the sex was consensual. Then the woman changes her mind. Boom! Rape! Welcome to 2021. (To be perfectly clear, I am making fun of your comment, I am not making fun of OP. OP at no point referred to the events as rape, it is only you and other internet commentors who are dead set on using the "rape" label here.)

> Interestingly in surveys, the portion of women who describe having had an encounter meeting the definition of rape has held fairly steady over the decades. But the portion of women who self-describe that as rape has steadily risen. Then really jumped in 2018.

Peculiar indeed! Might it have something to do with the "definition of rape" becoming wider and wider every year? It used to mean a very specific thing, but nowadays it means a lot of things.
There's probably an unconscious bias, but I'd still be fearful to some degree of both.

Homelessness is a problem that must be solved at the highest possible level of government. Since the 'problem' is able to move around the entire country that is the only way to fairly have the collective whole (society) integrate and restore the individual in need to either being a productive member of society, or at least a dignified living solution for when medicine or some other aspect has failed.

Seen in an even wider view, much of illegal immigration is quite likely driven by the homeless or persecuted ignoring the borders of nations that have failed them, as they seek the natural birth rights of anyone on their planet.

Yes it is.

iOS controls a sufficient part of US revenue that wider ecosystem effects on what is permitted speech come directly from the app store terms, or at least in some cases about trying to second guess the inconsistently applied, arbitrary and vague as hell App Store rules.

We've got direct testimony from all sorts of app makers that what speech they do and do not censor on the platform (especially around sex, impacting the fundamental liberties and safety of sex workers, queer communities, artists and educators) is directly because their business is such that they need to watch the terms of the app store.

We've seen examples in China of Apple blocking apps that literally lead to people failing to escape authoritarian governments and them disappearing, quite possibly to their death.

Liberty is the fundamental reason that a singular control of what software can be run on mobile device is a thing too dangerous to be allowed to exist. Competition law is probably the most expedient route to fix it, but a centralised app store should be a criminal act on it's own merits.

The issue here is there is no balance in the discussion. we push people to be vegan and they become radical environmentalists but the vegan lifestyle for the average person is filled with processed foods with no discussion of the environmental impact of food processing. Busy people have no time for some of the food preparation required to be vegan. There is no balance of conversation at all.

Regarding the comment about me paying higher prices, I can't agree. I spend an aggregate of about £1.50 / head on meat per day which is much less than if I decided to buy any processed soy or processed plant protein.
This reason speaking.

However I am still worried that governments basically make us choose between 1/ buying in into this duopoly, or 2/ using slower, decade-old processes. It feels like if you want to stay up to date with society, you actually have no real choice.

That argument could be, and has been, used to justify some terrible actions by governments and corporations.

While we may never know the full story in this specific case. What we do know for certain is that Google has a history of pulling the pin on services and products used by customers. Google's lack of customer support is also a well known feature of the company. These two facts suggest that the situation described in the article is likely to happen, and may actually happen fairly often.

I winder if stories like that will ultimately be Google and other tech giants downfall.

The idea is that you can get banned, you will never know why, there is no way to appeal, they won't give you a chance to fix things, and the only contact you will have will be robots, or if you are lucky, people completely dehumanized by the corporate structure.

So simply, they are unreliable. Just like files stored in a hard drive. With the hard drive, you can lose data because of a power surge or a random bug, with Google, you can lose data because you ticked the algorithm the wrong way. The solution: backups.

But that's the problem. These tech giants value proposition is that they do everything for you, including keeping your things safe, and they charge a premium for it. But if they can kill your account any moment, they are no better than your unreliable hard drive, so why pay the premium?

If they don't change, I can see them slowly losing market share, companies start to understand that putting all your eggs in one basket is a bad idea. They may be attacked by smaller companies that, while also unreliable, are cheaper and more agile because of their size. Or companies that offer you real, competent people you can talk to.

By tech giants, I mostly mean Amazon, Google and Facebook, I think (without being sure) that Microsoft knows better, and Apple is mostly a hardware company.

> Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept.

The first half makes good sense. You should make efforts to ensure your program is producing well-formed output. That's just a statement of software quality.

The second half is dependent on the problem domain. A web browser should do its best to cope with malformed input, sure. An Ada compiler should not, as an important part of its job is to reject erroneous inputs. Similarly, part of the value of XML schemas is to (at least partially) automate the process of detecting invalid data, perhaps so that bad requests can be rejected.

Good point. Google has two Mars Maps. Both are okay-ish. But not good enough really. Let me explain.

Google Mars Maps[1] shows images from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC)[2], which produces grey scale and up to 1.5m per pixel. Not quite what we aim for nor what we think is enough.

Google Earth Pro is another one. I appreciate you bring it up, and I'll add a remark to the blog post.

What I like about Google Earth' Mars map is that it offers multiple layers of different quality images, similar to NASA's Mars Trek[3]. Besides, it presents a globe view. Both helps conceptualize the whole experience.

However, Google Earth is missing a lot.

First, we built a web app. Easy access for everybody.

Second, we want to present the real Mars. An image just like you would stand in front of it, like Google Earth for Earth: True color, no jumps between image tiles.

NASA does a better job than Google at that. However, neither show natural color, combined with high resolution.

Google Earth uses a blend of Viking imagery, just like we do. However, they use MOC instead of CTX imagery for that. Which results in somewhat high-res too, but they managed to make it look cut up and unnatural. Their CTX map is low coverage, and of course grey scale.

Our solution: We merge natural color photographs with high-resolution images to offer one combined image. And we'll add elevation in 2-3 days.

Remember "don't be evil"? I bet Google doesn't.
This is just another clear example of Google refusing to fulfill their responsibilities.

Of course, if someone violated the rules they should also be entitled to know exactly which rules was violated, and exactly what is wrong with their implementation.

The fact that Google refuses to provide this information is a strong indication that Google is not acting with the best of intentions, and that is something that is worth looking into.

Preferably we should push towards more open systems that does not rely on centralized "app stores"; of course, be it Google Play store or Apple's App Store, the fact that they can just block apps they do not like is extremely problematic. There has to be other ways to install apps, without using these centralized mechanisms.

You're both right and talking past each other. The light moved between two points that if measured at the start was fewer light-years apart than the time it took to cross the gap, or a greater number of light-years if measured now.

I think the most correct and relevant thing to say is that the light moved 1 light-year per year and covered exactly the specified distance, if you integrate the distance over the trajectory of the light as it moved across the universe. Inflation simply changes the geometry of the space before (or after) the light passes through.
> The construction used by the author indicates that it happened. That's how the term is used.

Do you actually believe that or are you just making stuff up? If the author had actually been raped-while-screaming-no-stop, I'm pretty sure they would have explicitly said so. This article is extremely well articulated and thought out, I'm pretty sure that would be explicitly in the article if it happened. To me the "insisted" line in the article sounds like there was an event where the man was being an asshole and trying to have sex, and the woman said no, and they didn't have sex at that time (or the woman changed their mind, said yes, and then they did have sex).

Leaving No Pixel Behind: Three Years in Xenia's GPU Emulation
That would have been true if Pat Gelsinger didn't became CEO. Worth pointing out Intel's R&D didn't stopped, all their CPU uArch design were done, only to be let down by their 10nm fiasco. That single misstep caused Intel years of setback. ( My calculation is somewhere around four years, they had 2 years lead at the time, so now they are about 2 years behind )

As some have pointed out, TSMC is the real competitor, not really Apple or AMD. So I was surprised how quickly Pat managed to open up Foundry with industry standard tools and ecosystem. I have been saying this since 2012 even before the original Intel custom foundry were announced. ( And constantly being attacked and abused by Intel Fans online) But to actually see Intel announcing it is a completely different thing. Especially knowing their strong inertia. In hindsight, it probably took that beating from 10nm before they could really go all in with Custom Foundry. ( "All in" as in with industry tools, they are still an IDM, not Pure Play )

And how the tide has turned. All of a sudden Leading Edge Foundry becomes a national security concern. And Intel should rip all the benefits from it.

It was Andy Grove first started moving away from DRAM in the late 1980s, and may be his disciple will be the one who start to move away from x86 as core business.
