There are two reasons why you don't put it there, one of which you explained "The NPN capacitor here only cuts out the alimentation of the capacitor, but there's nothing to discharge it.". Yes, the transducer has (theoretical) infinite resistive load.

But another reason (which would be valid for a resistive load as well) is that anything plugged into the emitter will have its impedance "reflected" to the base.

Even if you're talking about a digital circuit you need to think about transistor biasing. A pure capacitive load on the emitter means no biasing.

One of the ways you could work around this is to have an inductor in parallel with the transducer so it would resonate at the frequency you want https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit (though not very practical to your case) - but ideally this would go on the collector, not on the emitter

Your 3 transistor solution is ok for the most part. Maybe it's doable with only one transistor but probably would need an inductor and/or wouldn't be too efficient.

(Not the best explanation, but this would require some trial and error and actually thinking a bit about the analog aspects of the circuit)
I'm not concerned about the privacy, rather, that this is a strategy to attack it indirectly.

I believe that they're just trying to make life harder for those who browse in private mode, in order to push them to always stay logged in. After all, Google built a browser based on the concept of user being logged in (this was one of the primary reasons why I've moved from Chrome).

This is nothing new, as at least some news paper had explicitly rules against it, for a long time.

On an extreme and hopefully far fetched scenario, I image this becoming common practice, and Google says that you have only a certain amount of searches before you must log in. I think the current situation as a sort of middle ground (or step towards).
I am working on a similar concept as a side side project that progress way too slowly. Kudo for the nice implementation !!
The article you cite provides various alternatives to this world view. It even contains the fun observation that the experiment has actually been performed, but with photons instead of observers - showing just how important consciousness really is in physical theories.

In general, I believe the most obvious interpretation of consciousness is simply as a computational process, so looking at consciousness as a key to QM is incompatible with my beliefs.

Furthermore, given the classical-ness of the world we see everyday, I have huge problems believing theories like MWI or these consciousness-based ones that claim the world is entirely quantum everywhere and it's just some kind of accident that it seems so classical to us (contrast to relativity which has a very satisfying answer for why we don't notice the difference from classical mechanics).
you must be using a different definition of edm to me. according to the definition I accept, then our rave scene is a small corner of edm which literally is an umbrella term for all electronic dance music.

...i'd be interested to know what term you use for the latter?
> There's no reason the digital war can't have physical repercussions. If a foreign nation invades our digital properties, we drop a bomb on their electric plant.

> Simple as that.

Do you think people would support a nuclear war ( because if the US bombs Russia or China, the response could very well be nuclear) as a response to hacking? And are you aware that the US is one of the most active countries on the cyber warfare front? ( Snowden, the various NSA toolkit leaks, etc.) Should Iran respond with bombs when Israel and maybe the US sabotage it's nuclear industry? Should Russia respond with nukes when the US disrupts GRU operations?
Whet it comes to networks, this is a thought tradeoff because we can have the same latency even though the throughput (mbit/s) is high. Also on modern consumer CPU's it will take some time to throttle up. Also JIT compilers can do different things depending on load. It seems that every step in the hardware/software stack is optimized for throughput.
> Increasing density will naturally decrease reliance on personal motor-vehicles because more journeys become walkable.

Only if you don't need to go to work. Which is working wonderfully in pandemic era. I can pretty much walk anywhere I could need in terms of stores and services.

But jobs, unless you work in one of those stores or services, are of course far away, not in the middle of denser housing. Tech company campus won't be between housing rows.

My town has built tons of housing over the last two decades. Offices are still in the industrial campuses farther away and all that new housing means tons of new local traffic. Uncomfortable but true.

It used to be 2 minutes and one stoplight to get to the highway. Now it is 7 stoplights and up to 15 minutes to get to the highway (from the same house).

It would be wonderful if for every new housing block there was an adjacent office complex block, so most people can walk to work, but that's not how it goes. So in practice, yes, increased housing density just means tons new traffic to fight through.

Hopefully I can just remain work from home forever!
Precisely twice as many people have had an impact on the world by having children as the number that have had an impact on the world through action. Unless you believe that Mary was really a virgin. Then the number is slightly less than twice as many.
I love it! I’m guessing that mempool is coming from a node you are running?

I first assumed the square size was based on the number of bytes, then I clicked the tooltip an it is based on transaction size in BTC which was surprising for a visualisation of the block but perhaps that’s more interesting to people.

It was amazing to watch a new block get formed!

The AI is optimizing for a different goal than the player :

Like a loving helicopter mom, this AI is trying its best to help you reduce tower height now (to reduce risk) whereas the human player has different objective often related to increasing its score over a certain horizon.

The thing is from the programming point of view there are not a unique way to define what should be a "best move".

What extracurricular activities were this and how much did they cost to make you work until midnight and do drugs because of the stress?

Do you think your drug use (+booze and cigarettes) became a considerable part of the costs that made you work so much?

I come from a lower middle class family in a non-urban area and there were neither the jobs nor the activities (much less costly ones) nor any sort of pressure to do such activities. Yet I believe I was fine, I am doing now (25ys later) several such activities

I'd love that too, but it's not happening. FAANG isn't building their new HQ campus into the first floor of a new apartment complex. It'll be where it'll be and we'll have to fight through ever increasing traffic to get there.
Give it a week and they will all be back. Amazon will delist and then reinstate as a form of off-contract punishment in my experience.

I once worked for a company that got delisted for a week because they did something Amazon didn't like (Over chat a support agent suggested the customer got a replacement part from a plumbing parts company rather than amazon.com because they didn't stock it, and they got delisted for suggesting a customer goes to a store that wasn't Amazon. This is where we learnt that Amazon is automatically scanning support requests for the mention of other stores and will issue automatic bans if you mention them!). It was a small company (<$5m sales revenue) but was still tens of thousands of pounds of revenue!
Yes, but that is based on not knowing how long you'll live, which means you can't risk eating much into your capital.

But if you somehow could know exactly how long you'll live, it could be adjusted accordingly, and especially as you get closer.

E.g. to take an extreme example: If you know you only have 10 years left, then obviously you could just keep your money as cash to avoid market risks, and spend 10% each of your remaining years.

Even if it's not 100% certain, if you were able to get a very precise estimate, there'd be room for a lot better annuity rates on offer for people with a shorter life expectancy.
I sympathise with you, but I'd say you are deluding yourself thinking you can "not be making this choice at all."

You are (I presume, since you're using the internet) buying stuff every day from countries that torture their citizens, from materials mined in abhorrent conditions. Most of the humanity does live in W40k-like conditions right now.

All I want to say, criticizing W40k with the sole argument that it's worse than reality is...undefendable.

That's kind of the whole point - the study should explicitly state that the new findings (as of now) do not provide any diagnostic about your personal chances of getting cancer, and do not provide any dietary recommendation whatsoever.

It's an interesting finding that may motivate further, more specific studies that can result in something actionable, which has value for researchers in the field but (as of now) it should not be used by general public for analysing their diet.

In some cases, practicing some things slowly is more exhausting and less efficient than starting at at least medium speed from the very beginning. The slow tempo loses you mental oversight of what you are trying to play.

You'll learn when this is through experience. If you can't wrap your head around the super slow practicing, try to practice it at a much higher tempo. Still need to be super accurate about fingerings though!

>> Any Athens metal recommendations? The most creative, eccentric, Athens-in-particular-and-ignore-every-other-tradition musician?

Unfortunately, it's been ages since the time I was in a band and knew the scene and much of that time was spent abroad. I don't even know what happens back home anymore.

The standard recommendation is Rotting Christ, who have never been my cup of tea yet I did listen a lot to one of their recent ish records:

Rotting Christ - Rituals (Full Album-2016)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn972Pl88AA

Other than that, the country always had a thriving black scene. There are a few recommendations here:

https://www.last.fm/tag/greek+black+metal/artists

I even remember playing gigs with some of them back in the day, but I won't say which so as not to age myself :) Anyway Necromantia are probably the best known (other than Rotting Christ). I seem to remember really liking Varathron myself.

But remember it's black metal. Knowing the scene from inside, many took all the pagan and ancient-Greek stuff way too seriously from whence it's an easy leap to nationalism ...though I never understood how Greek nationalists could then become neo-nazis as some did. The nazis fucked Greece bad in WWII. How could a Greek nationalist admire them? Anyway, for example, Naer Mataron are the band of Giorgos Germenis, an MP of neo-nazi Golden Dawn (now outlawed). There's a lot of that in Greek black.

I've read both of them (actually, I've read the former before this was posted).

The problem with the second article is the belief that conservative patriarchy was and is still the only way to sustain/grow population levels. This can problematic in an anthropological angle (there are still debates among anthropologists over how some prominent ancient societies were more matriarchial than we've realized), but more importantly I find this belief limiting our imagination as to the various ways in how humanity can manage to have and nurture kids. Familial values aren't only compatible with patriarchy, it can also mesh well with matriarchy (The fertility of women becoming important can also lead to women having more power over men, vice-versa). And is family the only way we can have childcare? Maybe we might have a society where everyone collectively cares each other's kids? What would happen if we have artificial wombs, wouldn't it significantly lower the barrier to having offspring? Obviously the hyper-individualism induced in our current configuration of capitalism is a huge cause for the fertility crisis, but I don't think old rehashed conservative values are the only solution for this individualism.

Now the first article (written by Nick Land), is much more nuanced, and doesn't strictly limit itself to patriarchy being an 'ultimate' evolutionary destiny. It's trying to dissecting the historical dynamics of population inside cities and between other cities (as a global phenomenon), and plotting the future trajectory of political theory from there. It states a fundamental problem of modernity which I can maybe agree with (although I have other problems with the author in general, mainly him also frequently spouting out right-wing reactionary politics)
To start with, RGB (and I assume Y′CbCr ?) can be encoded in many different ways. The most common one today (still) uses 8 bits per channel, meaning that a separated 1-octet value can only define monochrome. Therefore 8-bpc RGB is a 24-bit sized format, not a 8-bit sized data one.

And, by an interesting coincidence, with the arrival of "HDR", 8-bit per channel is slowly becoming obsolete (because insufficient). The next "step" is 10-bit per channel with 3 channels (hence "HDR10(+)"), and so should fit quite well in 32 bits ?

(However, it would seem that even Dolby's Perceptual Quantizer transfer function might need 12 bits per channel to avoid banding over the "HDR" Rec.2020/2100-sized color gamut..?)
This might be true for Western Europe in the (early) 18th century, but it’s certainly not true of most of the rest of the world historically.
Only in retrospect, if inflation was unexpected. But if it was unexpected you couldn't have taken advantage of it, because, by definition, you weren't expecting it.
Porting a language runtime from Intel syntax into AT&T just not to add an additional dependency to nasm/yasm when GCC was part of the requirements, was a big mistake.

In retrospective I should just kept nasm/yasm as dependency.

But you can argue against someone misunderstanding what a theorem says and applying it in the wrong context.

The question is about tokenization, not parsing.
Serious question; How is Mongolian "return to nature" similar with Tibetian "We have no space for burial grounds" similar? Isn't this more of a case of flexible religion or more of a flexible "monk" trying to fit in as many traditions as possible into one religion?
The question is not about parsing, it is about tokenization.
I can think of a bunch of examples not based directly on intellectual property (I assume you mean "royalties" and similar, such as from songs / books / etc).

If I found a prosperous business, say Walmart, and my kinds inherit it, this looks to me pretty much based on labor and not on taxing the use of some "intellectual property". Same for an industrial enterprise, like an automaker that is privately owned.

Of course, the kids would have to find a way to continue managing it well in order to reap the benefits, it wouldn't exactly be "forever free money with no work", though they could get close to that for themselves by selling the company.

I guess some could question whether being a CEO of such a company is actually "labor", especially when considering the kids (when the "building" phase is over) but I'd say that's a whole different debate.
App store isn’t “the market”
I'll speak to this bluntly: some of your comments come across as lecturing black musicians on what they should be doing, in particular how they should shape their response to the racism they experience. Your comments also make clear that you do not experience the specific sort of racism black folk experience. This is a very poor combination, one that many people fall into, where they think they're being supportive but come across as patronizing, arrogant, and dismissive if not racist.

Basically the listen more, lecture less, and make space for the voices that really need to be heard argument.
