You don't need to ask for permission to do anything on your own device. What you need permission is, to use Apple's tools that makes it orders of magnitude easier to do it.

Just remember, the first iPhone did not have an AppStore or SDK. People made apps for it anyway.

People also often confuse the right for access to Apple's app distribution services with the right to run apps on their own device. In reality, you can have a torrent client or anything you want on your phone without asking Apple for permission. That doesn't mean that it's going to be as easy as installing it from AppStore though. You will need to thinker harder.

Lol, I suppose that works too. As long as You can find someone to buy, sell and trade with that also has a wallet. In essence become your own exchange.

The last thing I want is to get stuck holding some rando alt coin when it gets delisted from the only exchange it's being traded on. I'm not interested in holding orphaned coins that may or may not be technically better. I'm a child of the 80s and did my time on a betamax VCR while all my friends had VHS and don't get me started about Cosby's computer!
I don't get why people are so attracted to idea of "modified gravity". So far it is a body of knowledge without predictive power struggling to adjust itself to things predicted by GR.
Possibly. I haven't tried running this benchmark with different heap sizes, but to me the 99% latency looks like it doesn't try to avoid GC. The JVM is really fast at memory management.
>This isn't true.
>Firstly in a totalitarian state they can already freeze your assets at will.

I see this a problematic because now non-totalitarian states will have that power. And it will give them an ability to go "oops we made a mistake and shouldn't have frozen your assets".

And don't forget about all the asset-forfeiture laws that are still on the books. I can imagine police departments all over the country salivating at the ability to grab whatever they want at a routine traffic stop.
"Can't explain how you have that much money in your account? Well, we'll just grab it and sue the money, and you can get it back if the court determines it's yours."
What? Democracy is predicated on the consent of the governed, and the accountability of public institutions, not decentralisation.
TIFF is another one. The only endian-switchable image format that I'm aware of.

Fun fact: CD-ROM superblocks have both-endian fields. Each integer is stored twice in big and little endian format. I assume this was to allow underpowered 80s hardware which didn't have enough resource to do byte swapping.

Coroutines in Kotlin can be convenient, but they are overall about 20% slower than non-suspending code. I didn't spend too much time investigating the cause, but I believe it's because of the extra object that is passed along in all method calls.

In my case, I have a programming language interpreter implemented in Kotlin, and as an experiment I made the entire interpreter using suspending calls so that I could call asynchronous functions, and my performance tests dropped by about 20%.
Dark Matter is something producing regular gravity (bending spacetime in a way regular matter would) except we don't see the source, hence the name.
Children are not the penultimate achievement of humanity. In fact, they're one of the core things that take zero learned skill and can be created and raised entirely via instinctual means.

I would argue that those who leave the most behind are those who are kind and thoughtful to those in their lives. They leave behind one of the most important and precious things that anyone ever could - pleasant memories in the minds and experiences of others. They brought direct happiness to others through their kindness. This is the type of person I strive to be, and I feel enriched and deeply fulfilled when successful in doing so. In some ways, the type of peace that can bring can be one of the few things that you can "take with you" in death, in that you will feel that happiness until your very last moment, which you will most likely not generally do with material possessions.
Network protocols still mostly use "Network Byte Order", i.e. big endian.
> I'm not so sure he was right.

Any more reason for this other than a psychological evaluation of Hitchens? He made an argument, you can speak to it. Is it a complicated objection that can't be summarized?

It's typical in school education to provide different textbooks for different students. 5 year olds already get an ELI5 textbook, 10 year olds get an ELI10 textbook, roughly speaking (a good ELI10 textbook summarises the ELI5 material again).

The slider is not useful - first because the goal of differentiating material by ability is already met in schools, and second because a student can't easily identify where on the slider they need to be, so it creates a further challenge for them to figure out their own curriculum. We only ask this of students when they get to Masters level, or beyond, with good reason.

If I were teaching you math, I would identify that your concept of mathematical algebra is poor, given that you haven't identified why variables x and y are useful in math as an abstraction (and why the justification for this is clearly different from computer science).
Network byte order is big endian so it is far from being pretty much irrelevant these days.

Hitchens not infrequently exaggerated some alleged crimes or misconduct from religious figures unfortunately. He usually had it by the right end of the stick in the general view IMHO, but could be sloppy on details. Classic case of "say something with enough confidence and people will believe you, especially if it confirms their preconceived notion" (in this case, religion=bad).
Remember how we used to have machines with a 7 bit byte? And everything was written to handle either 6, 7, or 8 bit bytes?

And now we've settled on all machines being 8 bit bytes, and programmers no longer have to worry about such details?

Is it time to do the same for big endian machines? Is it time to accept that all machines that matter are little endian, and the extra effort keeping everything portable to big endian is no longer worth the mental effort?
Sure, but this is not the job of the monetary system. The purpose of money is to facilitate economic transactions.
If you mean something like an inverted form of gravity, that would be the hypothetical dark energy, I think. Dark energy is hypothesized to be a repulsive force, while gravity is an attractive force.

This! Benchmarks that fully sustains the throughput are rarely useful. If you’re running at that capacity your service is melting.

Latency histogram for fixed throughout (e.g. 1k RPS, 10k RPS, 50k RPS) are far more useful. You want to know if going from 1k to 10k increases latency.

Right away I notice the glaring omission of “the surveillance state” in the wording of certain sentences like “People who test positive are not identified to other users, Google or Apple“.

“With Bob’s consent, his phone uploads the last 14 days of keys for his broadcast beacons to the cloud”, also giving away his geolocation in the process. My read of the “doesn’t collect location data” is “doesn’t explicitly collect location data”, like just because it doesn’t send a field ‘geolocation’ they can technically say that and not be lying.

The article makes a very strenuous effort to make a point about something
something racism in rock that sounds a bit boring and trite to my ears. After
all, Bon Scott said it best years ago:

In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty five
Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the schmaltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news

(Although, Tchaikovsky? What the...?)

What I want to know is why young black Americans, do not, in their majority, do
rock anymore. I get that the music industry always tries to control what gets
airtime, but who needs the music industry today, and who needed the music
industry in the past? If it was for the music industry, nobody would have heard
of Jimi Hendrix- a black man with a guitar? That'll never sell!

Look at metal and how it took hold. Growing up in Athens, Greece, it seemed like
every neighbourhood had a metal band and you would never know by looking at
billboards, or even coverage in the metal press (a lackey of the music industry,
if there ever was one). Euro kids took Rock from the Americans and ran with it
and made something new, all ours, and all working class (see the early years of
Sabbath and Priest in Manchester; remember the apocryphal story of Ozzy and Tony
having one pair of good shoes between them and wearing them on alternate days to
go out). Metal quickly became the authentic popular music of entire generations,
without ever any need of mainstream acceptance. Metal grew from below, with no
help from above and despite the disdainful snorts of mainstream music critics.

So why didn't the black grasroots ever sprout an analogous new rock scene,
instead of turning towards the mainstream, big stage, light show, for-profit
music that comes from black artists for the last few decades?

Why Rihana and Beyonce, rather than a new Jimi Hendrix? Female, even. Why is
Rock 'n' Roll pretty much dead to black kids, nowadays?
I'd ask in response if you've ever seen an organization asking for volunteers that isn't also asking for money.

If you can volunteer in addition to sending money, depending on the org they will have some shitwork to do that is unpleasant/monotonous (would cost money to get someone to do) and low-skilled (you probably won't screw it up, and they don't have to waste skilled staff on it - and the skilled staff hate doing it even more than you will.)

How I Estimate My Tasks
Actually, it's just as possible to get a rope of the exact length pi/2 as it is to get a rope of the exact length 1. Which is to say, it is strictly speaking impossible (heisenberg's uncertainty principle and all that), but you can get an approximation as good as you want, being far more limited by physics than by the properties of Pi.

Now, if you wanted a rope of length 1+i, that would be a different problem.

Edit to add: whether two objects can be exactly Pi meters apart is a different question, one with no known answer - is space infinitely subdivisible, or is there actually a minimum possible length? We certainly can't measure that distance, but whether it exists or not may be a different question (some physicists will claim that if it can't be measured it doesn't exist in principle anyway, others are more open to this idea).

In current QM space itself is assumed to be infinitely subdivisible/continuous, but there are theories like Loop Quantum Gravity where it's not, and interpretations of QM like Copenhagen where unmeasured quantities don't have any definite value.

"Giving up" seems to imply unfulfilled ambition, though. It only feels like giving up because we project our own ambitions onto him. If his ambition always was to lead a simple, predictable life close to nature, he's achieved flawlessly. Maybe I'm just re-stating what you said, sorry.
The attention to detail is breathtaking.
My father grew up on a rural Irish farm, then came to America as a young adult. At age 78, he hatched a plan to move back to his family home, where his brother and a nephew still lived. After three years there, he came back to the US, complaining that it wasn't the Ireland he remembered.
CBDCs allow governments to remain competitive and for a bit longer monetary sovereign in a digital age. They can continue to control inflation in their own country.

It does not solve the debasement problem though. Only a unified currency like Bitcoin can offer that.

Globalization will push for a unified currency one day. The internet has no borders and trade neither. Currency conversion and debasement is suboptimal and a constraint that will eventually get removed.

As for the Fed and US, I believe they will continue to nurture fintech and start to open up to crypto companies with an end goal of keeping their currency as the global reserve as long as possible. They see the value of the private sector. There will be a transformation of the banking system and they want in.
What happens is that all machines that matter are little endian but network works always in Big Endian.
Hip hip is the philosophy of survival in a racist culture. It dies when the racism dies.
While there are many amazing math books out there that specialize in a particular branch, I tend to prefer generalist books that cover a wide range of topics.

It you want something that starts with the absolute fundamentals, What Is Mathematics? is a perennial classic. I think that one starts with addition and takes you all the way through advanced calculus.

If you want a comprehensive survey of nearly all major branches in mathematics written by some of the most prominent Soviet mathematicians, you’ll want Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning.

If you want more of a reference-style encyclopedia, The Princeton Companion to Mathematics is a good one.

If you want to build a solid foundation for math tailored to computer science, look no further than Concrete Mathematics, coauthored by Donald Knuth himself.
Is that a swipe against the article? I think she would argue Dark Matter is so over parametrized it no longer makes meaningful predictions. And the argument that any new particle requires a new quantum field makes total sense. So Dark Matter is Modified Gravity, there's not clear distinction because of the need for new fields anyways. Of course, IANAP, so I could be totally misreading it.
When you've got people in high places of the government who talk about jewish space lasers, turning around and talking about problems with "the media establishment" in general - as if that's the problem is just disingenuous. Not only this top comment (???) on the thread hasn't even defined who or what this "media establishment" is, it doesn't say what they have done. It's easy to hate something so vaguely defined that everyone can project that one experience when they remember some media fumbling a story that one time.

Yes, journalists have always made mistakes and always will. There just hasn't been a 24/7 outrage machine, professional "alt-news" grifter industry and conspiracy pipelines on such a scale before that highlights "that one thing" they got wrong and squeezing all the juices out of it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again... People like Steve Crowder know that outrage creates clicks, clicks create money. And if they make a mistake in their "DIY journalism", they already have made 30 videos about the next thing to be outraged about so people have long forgotten.
> Will it be cheap? No.

Any energy system large enough to power the world will be a very expensive thing. Fortunately, the world economy is also a very large thing, and can pay for it.

We can say with some confidence that while this renewable energy system will be expensive, it will be less expensive than a nuclear energy system that serves the same purpose, and likely cheaper than a system with any substantial amount of nuclear energy.

> Given the lack of commercial built and operated hydrogen wind farms

This is a completely bogus argument in an environment where natural gas is still plentiful and legal and its carbon largely untaxed. The CO2 tax needed to get to wind farms + hydrogen being competitive is likely much less than the CO2 needed to get nuclear to be competitive (against natural gas).
Man or Matter – Ernst Lehrs (1951)
No, the Turkic languages of Russia often have very similar phonology, but the Stalin-era language planners intentionally chose different ways to orthographically represent identical features across the languages.

For example, Turkic languages typically feature front/back vowel harmony where stops are velar before front vowels and uvular before back vowels. This is represented differently in the Stalin-era Cyrillic orthographies for Karachay Balkar (к/къ), Kazakh (к/қ) and Tatar (just к with the following vowel letter showing the distinction). Bashkir neighbors both Tatar and Kazakh and is mutually intelligible with them, and it doesn’t differ at all in this feature, but its orthography was given к/ҡ just to make it different from the other two.
Yeah, that’s the claim, but it conveniently ignores all the metadata that ties a particular device to certain places/times/events based on the other rotating IDs they’ve seen. It’s like Nintendo 3DS StreetPass but bad.
we will have left earth (and inevitably our sun) long before 4 billion years away, most probably as a hybrid species by then

IBM is going to be pretty annoyed when your code doesn't work on their mainframes.
Hyperinflation is an economy wide collapse in production though.

If every human in the nation lost trust in the currency but there was enough production capacity to feed everyone then exports would rise until the currency appreciates to normal levels again. However, most nations suffering from hyperinflation don't have enough products to export in the first place.
You're making the assumption that "travel a lot" implies "ruling class". Like I said, you can't possibly know that. You don't know anything about them, other than that they traveled a lot.

FWIW I have a friend from Azerbaijan who saw a lot of the USSR as well. I don't know the details, and there will likely be people here on HN with first-hand USSR experience who can tell me why my memory makes no sense. But his story was that there was money but you couldn't use it for much, except train tickets. They saved it up and then took epic train trips through the USSR, once up to Estonia and once east towards Kyrgyzstan (not sure they got that far though), stopping in every republic along the way.

His parents were a craftsperson and a high school teacher. Don't make assumptions about strangers on the internet.

No idea. It was much faster than the service really needed to be, so we just set the heap to 128M in production and never heard about any latency problems.
Yeah, I tried content creation but I quickly realized that it was more expensive than advertising, it's fiercely competitive, there are people out there way better at than me, there's major incumbency advantage that I didn't have and it pays off slower. It fundamentally didn't change the economics of what I was trying to do at all. The people taking the highest commissions had a lot more to blow on content creation than I did, with my refusal to play the same tricks.

These market dynamics are fairly common across many industries. I don't think the one I chose was particularly special.

Consulting or something might have been possible but at that point it's basically giving up and joining an entirely different industry - which is what I ultimately did.

I really really tried to make honesty pay but I couldn't.
