One positive side effect of the non vaccine measures being taken, social distancing, wearing masks and increased hand washing is it’s cutting down on the ability for any pathogen to spread around. Pathogens we ignored and tolerated before such as influenza are being effected too. The spread of any airborne pathogen is going to have record low numbers as people adopt these as lasting life styles. The idea that we were comfortable sitting on an international airline in closed space with strangers breathing the same air before is sort of alarming in retrospect. We are in need of modernization of our public interaction facilities and transit. Simply having strong ventilation and extremely fine particulate filtration everywhere to mimic the particulate diffusion/vacuum effect of being outdoors would probably do wonders to prevent airborne pathogens.

>It's ridiculous that it doesn't matter if my app has a 5$ sub or a 50$ sub, I owe them 30% anyway.

And the same Apple sued Qualcomm for charging them percentage of iPhone.

Although I do think the percentage is a good way to ensure fair distribution ( with a Cap on maximum ). The idea is that the higher grossing Apps ( or Phones ) would be subsidising the lower cost Apps ( or Phones ) for those innovation.

And again, I still think the money part is besides the point. Why do Apple gets to pull an App down simply because they dont like their world views.
Love the app but it desperately needs an update (with a search function in comment view)
Definitely. Depends on how much you stuff your Emacs is running. Bare-bones Emacs was generally pretty snappy, but once you activated all the quality-of-life features and added a bunch of third-party packages, there was a noticeable performance impact.

The first thing where it usually affected me was org-mode. It runs a lot of complex text-parsing and redisplay code on the buffers, and some frequently used operations (like folding/unfolding big sections of the file, or generating agenda) would noticeably slow down with files over a couple hundred lines. That problem is now mostly gone with nativecomp - probably in part because Org Mode itself is improving its performance, but in big part because all that Elisp just runs faster across the board.

LSP mode would probably be another common case - but I only started using it on nativecomp and with the new JSON parsing module (Emacs 27 started supporting libjansson in place of whatever it was doing before). It works very well, but I imagine it was pretty unusable before these two changes.

I see no reason for that, it seems more like a pragmatic choice of reliability over capacity. (in other words to make speech comprehensible in noise)
This sort of thing has been brought up for more than a year. The federal government has shirked all responsibility from the start of this whole affair. States have requested federal support for establishing these sorts of quarantine facilities, and been rejected on multiple occasions. The federal government claims it is a state responsibility, as health is generally a state responsibility. However, constitutionally quarantine is a Commonwealth responsibility and therefore the federal government should be handling it. As a citizen overseas, states do not harbor much responsibility for my situation as I'm not a resident of said state, which is fair enough in my mind. But that means the federal government's dereliction of responsibility leaves me and many others out to dry. I'm just glad the country that invited me in hasn't been so incompetent and cruel.

For Molycorp: seek to become nationalized either de jure or de facto (by lobbying for massive subsidies or import tariffs). A private enterprise will have a very difficult time against a nation state with effectively unlimited cash and manpower.

For the SmallCo vs Amazon example: either superior branding&marketing or protection via patents. If you try to differentiate through pricing, Amazon can sell at a loss for too long for you to survive.

But tbh in either case it is like a third world dictator asking "how can I win" when the US is already invading. You can't, the best option now is to cut losses and retreat so you at least stay alive.

So you want a mapping of [1, n] to a permutation of [1, n] without having to generate the list [1, n] and shuffling it. An affine transformation modular n should work. Instead of [1, n], look at [0, n). Find a value `a` in [0, n) such that gcd(a, n) = 1 and pick a random integer b in [0, n). Then the `random` number at each position is `a * x + b mod n`.

This is simple and fast, but is not secure at all. You can solve for a, b by solving the linear congruence. It also does not generate every permutation of `n`. For n = 5, only 20 sequences can be found out of 5! = 120.
That's just a subsidy with a couple of extra steps.

Considering Amazon's comingling of the “same” item from multiple sellers with no way to distinguish them, it is the only link in the chain you could really hold accountable, and therefore it must be.

>value added per unit of resources used is growing exponentially

I would love to see the amount of resources that are used to produced each iPhone, because I don't have a big issue assuming that each phone brings, say 3 or 4 percent more utility to its user than the previous model would have.

So, assuming the battery is the most dirty part of the phone, I found the battery size for all the iphone models[0] and even if we exclude the the large ones, the iPhone 11 has a 54 percent larger battery.

The phones were released in 2007 and 2019, 12 years and 3 months apart[1]. That works out to a growth of approximately 3.3%.

So my original assumption was wrong, there has been an exponential growth in materials that nearly matches GDP growth.

There is a strict and particular set of rules and while "not making changes on the Sabbath" is a useful metaphor, it doesn't perfectly capture the rules or why specific workarounds are permissible and others aren't.

The core set of rules comes from specific actions that were banned in the ancient Tabernacle on the Sabbath. Electricity use is not banned per se on the Sabbath (as electricity was not discovered several thousand years ago); instead, the core law of "do not fix things on the Sabbath" was ruled to ban completing circuits on the Sabbath once electricity became widespread; similarly, "do not break things on the Sabbath" covers breaking a circuit. The rules only cover actions performed by Jews during the Sabbath; they don't cover actions taken on other days even if those actions result in changes on the Sabbath, so for example setting up a timer to turn lights on or off is permissible as long as you set it up prior to the Sabbath. Ditto for these kinds of elevators.

The Sabbath rules have pretty much nothing to do with environmentalism or energy use.

>If I had one piece of advice to give on the subject it would be PCA the crap out of everything and understand what the top components are doing

There are at least four issues with this advice (wrt doing data analysis):

1. How do you link your PCA components to the original data? Let's say you are tasked to find the main drivers of sales on a given city. You run PCA on the data and find two main components on the dataset. What do you do next? How do you make this information actionable?

2. How do you treat categorical variables? There are PCA methods for dealing with categorical variables but by the time you apply these methods plus the issues in 1) your data has lost all actionable meaning.

3. PCA is _very_ difficult to explain to business stakeholders. The more difficulty business stakeholders have to understand the analysis, the less they will use it.

4. Data-driven business stakeholders will favour clarity and simplicity over sophistication (somewhat linked to 3)

As an Australian citizen, I have plenty of sympathy for those who have dual/multiple citizenship. They've been treated particularly harshly by both the federal government and their fellow Australian citizens. Some notes:

- There is an income test for permanent residency, which is required for most pathways to citizenship. Apart from family-stream visas which require a direct relationship with an Australian citizen, most visas eligible for permanent residency are work-related and you won't get one of those without an income test[1].

- There is an employment test, as above

- There is a language test, see the section on Language Ability[2], this has been a significant bottleneck for personal friends who speak English perfectly well

- Student visas don't make you eligible for permanent residency, let alone citizenship[2]

- Australia's community values explicitly state that dual/multiple citizenship doesn't exempt you from being Australian[3]

- Australia's pathways to citizenship (via PR, work visa etc.) are some of the most expensive and time-consuming in the world

Nokia Linux based phones didn't fail simply because of a new CEO, but because of a partnership with Microsoft that brought a CEO and a deal with Windows Mobile on Nokia phones in exchange for phasing out of Linux and Symbian devices. If it wasn't for Microsoft, Linux on Nokia phones would have succeeded.

Remember this every time you work with WSL thinking that Microsoft loves Linux and the Open Source model; they don't. They simply aim at controlling it, this time also from the inside (see Linux Foundation Platinum membership).

I run Emacs on both Linux and Windows and I find that with more or less the same packages, the Windows Emacs tends to "slow down" after a while. I've used the profiler to track down a couple of things that were causing slowdowns (ibuffer auto refresh, etc), but still haven't quite go to the point where Windows runs as fast as Emacs. On both cases I have fairly long running Emacs sessions - around a month on Linux, when I pickup distro updates, and a week on Windows as we do mandatory reboots weekly. I recommend you try profiling to see if something shows up [1].

Then "Main Audacity developers hired by Muse Group" seems like a sensible headline. I'm not sure why they went with this headline. Maybe they sold it to their bosses in simple terms like "we're acquiring Audacity"?
I dont know. If you take a look at the neighbourhood, were the "decolonialization" has happened what it entails, im just not so sure anymore.

Egypts minoritys regularly get hate-crimes commite against them. Syria, which was as close to the idyllic picture of "coexistance" painted here, as a minority ruled dictatorship can get - and its been a battlefield for almost a decade now.

And everyone is always a settler, displacing somebody who came before him. The neanderthals who called dibs, were merged and murdered just as all who came after.

The moment human nature goes into full cycle of strife, all things go down the drain. Huge numbers of children with no economic future, endless civil war or war at the "other". There never was a paradise in the past, at best there were small scale holocausts and oppression by the current ruler not written down. Someones good times, were someone elses bad times.

Im deeply worried that this constant pressure of atrocities will undermine israels democracy longterm. With every colonization and power projection comes a shift towards the right and "good" times for religious zealots.

Im admit i once was advocating for the reversal to "pluralism" in my youth. Older now, i know it would just be the rule of the next "stronger" probably ending in a butchers shop like syria or libya.

Nobody is supposed to life in a camp.But nobody should life in fear of somebody outside of a camp, because that somebody is unwilling to compromise to a society not constantly sliding towards the point of butchering.

Israel should ditch its religious zealots. Reason should prevail, and if its needed for that to separate out the unreasonable into positions were they can do no harm, no matter what side, then be it.
