> atop the code you do own and control

It's a web browser. Look at it as if you're giving people the option to run your code in their browser. Your code is not entitled to be there - it's just a suggestion.

Your server side endpoints are what you own and control.

That's (thankfully) a fundamental part of the web. The days of proprietary blobs running opaque code are done(java applets and flash etc.)
My point is that there’s a limit to it. Teslas still don’t have the same range as a gas car in the same category/price. They could increase it but then I don’t think they can sell a lot of $150k Model Ss.

At some point you’ll have more drawbacks than it’s worth it (size, price, weight, efficiency, safety).
For a company that prunes as ruthlessly as Apple seems to, including an SD slot in this day and age seems like an odd choice. I'm even a photographer and I rarely use the SD card slot on my MacBook Pro and certainly wouldn't consider tossing a small/cheap adapter into my travel electronics kit a big deal.

>Since when is the simplest possible example of the fallacy of division the same thing as “logic”?

Without any additional information the assumption that entropy rules the day is "logically" reasonable. Meaning that if out migration and in migration is random the proportion of High IQ people moving out and in will be random and on par with population proportions.

Trust in entropy and probability is a completely reasonable and logical assumption to make. In fact, our entire scientific establishment is built on these axioms. To assume a random correlation exists out of nowhere is the unreasonable claim. Don't twist words and make it sound illogical. It is illogical to think otherwise without presenting new evidence and a new claim.

So what you did here is introduce a new claim. You say there is a mechanism effecting natural entropy and that more intelligent people could be migrating in. This is not an illogical claim, but it is an extraordinary one.

If you were to make such an extraordinary claim. You need to provide equally extraordinary evidence as this trend isn't on the front page of every news organization.

So you say more higher income people tend to migrate into California and lower income people tend to migrate out. Do you have a source? Additionally I would like to know whether the standard deviation between the correlation of income and IQ fits with the incomes of people migrating out and into California. That would be strong evidence for "Brain Gain" if the trends show more intelligent people migrating in.

At this point I acknowledge your claim as a possibility. But the evidence you present (essentially no evidence, just a claim that evidence exists) makes it fuzzy enough that it is equally likely that natural entropy takes precedence here. There is also a lot of anecdotal/qualitative evidence working against your claim including coworkers who are moving out, more and more tech companies offering remote options and such and such.

It looks to me that you aren't really making a claim but your just being pedantic towards my "logic." I can slightly acknowledge the possibility there isn't Brain drain here, but let's be real. Until there's a study specifically targeting this theory it's just a random shot in the dark.
people with money can buy mining factories and make decisions anyway.
The free tier provides the stated usage levels at no cost, indefinitely. So if you were to stay under the quotas of data size, writes and reads, you don't pay at all. When you go over, you just pay for what you use. No servers, no pre-committed capacity, just simply pay for what you use.

It's a shame people don't understand that there's multiple aspects. Ethereum is much more decentralized, secure, have more dev mindshare, better community, tooling, and ecosystem. Let's also not forget that Algorand is powered by and centralized around team-run nodes.
I'm not sure how your statement follows what I said.

I was indicating that there may be a lot of people that appear "poor" to the IRS with neither a lot of income nor a lot of losses/deductions to offset income that may in fact be earning a lot of money. And efforts to enforce tax collection of the "rich" will not identify these people.

This article specifically talks about _unreported income_ among the "top of the income distribution". I'm saying that if they're known to the IRS as being at the "top of the income distribution" what may be lurking below the top that goes uninvestigated.

> After correcting for this bias, we find that unreported income as a fraction of true income rises from 7% in the bottom 50% to more than 20% in the top 1%, of which 6 percentage points correspond to undetected sophisticated evasion. Accounting for tax evasion increases the top 1% fiscal income share significantly.

I think the problem is that with the code-as-written, if the GA call fails, the relevant `window` field won't be populated, which the code is detecting.

Given the hyper-malleable nature of JavaScript in an HTML page in a user-agent owned by the end user, at some point the developer has to draw a line in the sand and say "This category of failure modes is not checked," because it's mathematically impossible to check all possible failure modes in that configuration. "An extension is intentionally faking an object in the `window` context" just happens to be on the other side of the "don't check" line for this application, because it's extremely unlikely (and, one could argue, user-self-inflicted).

There is no marketplace for copyrighted content and there can't really ever be one unless you mandate compulsory licensing. If you want to watch Frozen then you have to buy from Disney or one of their approved vendors. You can't take your business elsewhere and so from a monopoly standpoint it doesn't matter who actually owns it. You might not like that Amazon in particular owns MGM because because it means that their content will likely only be available on Prime but nothing was stopping them from making an exclusive deal prior to the merger.
It is necessary for global involvement. Direct research, investigations, data collection, the works.

When a tab freezes, I just pull up activity monitor/top and look for the Chrome process using the most CPU. It's almost always the culprit.

I also like to occasionally sort by memory usage and kill the biggest Chrome processes. Chrome is nice in that it will show you when a process crashed, so what I do is kill the biggest memory hog, and then see what tab crashed. Then I do it again a few times.

This at least tells me which processes use the most RAM over time and should be recycled (Spoiler alert, it's always GMail and then GCal.)

Nvidia: Anti-crypto flags on newly produced RTX GPUs will work this time
I find it to be almost universally positive. I'm a freelancer and I work practically "full time" but I don't start work until I naturally wake up unless I happen to have a meeting scheduled.

One of first things I noticed is hunger. When I wake up to an alarm I generally feel sluggish and immediately hungry. If I wake up to my alarm at 8 then I need to eat almost immediately. If I naturally wake up at 9 I might potter about and eat breakfast at 10 without thinking much about it. Alarms seem to induce stress and stress induces hunger.

I generally find that only having weekends alarm free provides just enough respite and replenishment for taking on the work week but not enough to reduce mental stress across the board. Being able to have a lay in on any given day that requires it makes a world of difference to mid week slumps.
> But you're not forced to be there. If you walk to the factory (or otherwise have a very predictable commute), you don't have to show up early at all.

Besides the fact that you're changing the subject out of nowhere, this simply ignores the entirety of the original comment you were responding to, which addresses this in depth.
I often hear about this concept of deep thinking and deep drive into user stories. My experience sadly is much of the work in companies is dominated by smaller tasks. I'd love to know how stripe handles this balance between big feature developments and smaller issues.
> She distilled a set of behavioral criteria to identify sleep without the EEG. A sleeping animal does not move around. It is harder to rouse than one that’s simply resting. It may take on a different pose than when awake, or it may seek out a specific location for sleep. Once awakened it behaves normally rather than sluggishly. ... A sleeping animal that has been disturbed will later sleep longer or more deeply than usual, a phenomenon called sleep homeostasis.

When you define "sleep" this way, without reference to the brain or consciousness, it's not all that surprising that animals without brains can "sleep".

If you take out the criteria having to do with locomotion, so as not to exclude organisms that don't need it, plants probably sleep too...

Plus, unlike gas, the hydrogen is never directly burnt "in the engine", it's always converted to electricity first. A hydrogen car is always going to use EV motors (and batteries, because while denser, H2 doesn't yet have anything near the ability to supply power at high demand that current battery tech has) and have all the complexity of an EV, often without the convenience of grid charging (home charging) given much smaller batteries to compensate for the weight of the fuel cell and fuel.

Even the greatest H2 car is always just going to be a second class EV with "weird fuel needs".

> those who do not want bluetooth headsets are still forced to buy something

But they even included them in the box for several years - they didn't charge extra for them. They wouldn't do that if they were trying to force people to buy Bluetooth.

Now years later and after most people moved to Bluetooth voluntarily they're not needed and would be wasteful to include.

The theory that allied countries purchased the F-35 because they were bullied by the USA into doing so doesn't fit the fact that allied countries refuse to purchase American airplanes all the time.

France makes its own combat airplanes, some of which like the Mirage 2000 and the Rafale are in operation.

Sweden chose to make the Gripen, the UK, Germany, Spain, and Italy chose to make the Eurofighter Typhoon, and Japan, well that's a weaker argument because their native fighter is based on an American jet fighter.

That statement is not true at all.

I give you that California has about half of Germanys population, but it is not a country. California is a State. Germany is a country and the membership in a political union like the EU does not make it a state.

It still doesn't change the underlying issue you discussed. Just because there is some friction removed in PoS doesn't mean that PoW isn't weighted to favor people with large pools of capital to invest.
The difference is that PoW is censorship resistant. Anybody can be a miner and existing miners cannot censor new miners. Performing new work is external to the network state. In PoS, existing stakers can prevent new stakers from registering. Very important distinction.
IME, Assistant did do a whole lot more than Siri or Alexa in the past. It had a similar set of features, but with Assistant I could speak casually and with Alexa/Siri it was necessary to learn specific trigger phrases. More recently I find that Alexa has caught up. And maybe Assistant has gotten worse. Not sure about Siri.
That's a good point, though mining is also controlled by access to the cheapest costs (i.e. siphoning electricity off of a grid).
So all of the downsides are worth it as long as major companies like Microsoft are protected? Is that your point?

> Ropsten coins are worthless, and cannot approximate or prove anything cryptoecomically.

We agree on that. You misread my comment.

My risk tolerance is just different than yours. I've sold all of my BTC for ETH long time ago. Everyone is building on top of Ethereum, not Bitcoin. Bitcoin's meme about "every worthy usecase will get implemented on top of Bitcoin"... it's short-lived. Flippening is nigh, why would people re-implement something which exist on dominant chain on a chain that is subpar in every possible way?

And I disagree about best minds. Bitcoin hasn't produced anything of interest for a long long time. Most patient? Surely. Best? Not even close. Maxwell has missed zero-knowledge proofs in 2013.

Imagine an entire decentralized gaming platform like this powered by WASM/WebGPU, with support for Unity/Unreal titles to run in HTML5. This will disrupt all of the native stores like Steam, EGS, as well as the mobile app stores. No 30% cut, and instant distribution to end users without a middleman. WebAssembly gaming is truly the future.
And we’re using WebSockets right now for the networking in dot big bang! Although we’ve talked a lot about moving to WebRTC we’ve not gone as far as doing it yet.

More generally things get a lot simpler if you’re “web first”. It’s a lot easier to just be pragmatic about it and build when you’re not straight jacketed by existing designs reliant on common low level OS APIs.

And Stake is derived from Work. Some of you assume PoS exists within its own ecosystem. Even in PoW, the work is derived from previous works, ie, the work required to buy and build the hardware and pay for electricity, etc.

The M1 MacBook Air has no fan, so you can’t really compare its cooling design to the previous MacBook Air. Given that it’s fanless, it would hardly be surprising if it had bigger passive cooling devices.

The idea that a cooling fan needs to “blow on” the thing that it’s cooling is just dumb. As long as the path from the fan to the CPU is sealed, it makes no difference at all how far away the fan is. (Think of a wing being tested in a wind tunnel. The fan that’s making the ‘wind’ doesn’t need to be placed right up against the wing for this to work!)

A heat pipe gives you more layout flexibility because it lets you place the fan somewhere where it can’t generate airflow directly over the CPU. Given that a heat pipe can’t be 100% efficient at transferring heat, a design with a heat pipe is actually less efficient, all else being equal.
Any idea?

I had a similar issue with Windows kernels "recently" (2016~?)...

I don't have the memory or patience to write a long and inspiring blog post, but it comes down to:

Even with IOCP/multiple threads: network traffic is single threaded in the kernel, even worse, there's a mutex there. Putting the effective limit on PPS for windows to something like 1.1M for 3.0GHz.

The task of this machine was /basically/ a connection multiplexer with some TLS offloading; so listen on a socket, get an encrypted connection, check your connection pool and forward where appropriate.

Our machine basically sat waiting (in kernel space) for this lock 99.7% of the time, 0.3% was spent on SSL handshaking..

We solved our "issue" by spreading such load over many more machines and gave them low-core-count high-clock-speed Xeons instead of the normal complement of 20vCPU Xeons.

AFAIK that issue persists, I'd be interested to know if someone else managed to coerce windows to do the right thing here.
Then I'll either go there less and just order in person, or not at all.

The whole reason I call is E.G. Round Table Pizza had a perfectly good "Web 1.0" website. Instead of updating some CSS rules to make it render better on mobile they seem to have outsourced to a third party and now everything performs worse and has it's own clunky hell. So instead of using a shit re-design on a website I just call on the phone.
Kafka is distinctly different from enterprise messaging systems like AMQP.

I generally think of messaging systems falling into 4 distinct categores: PubSub, Streaming, Queues and Enterprise Messaging Systems.

PubSub sytems are focused on non-durable (usually), low latency messaging generally without acknowledgements and generally at-most-once. i.e things like Redis PUBSUB, NATS, etc

Queues are generally focused on fanout to multiple consumers with at-least-once processing of durable messages with acknowledgements. i.e Celery/Sidekiq, Que, AWS SQS.

Streaming systems are designed for throughput and usually are based on some form of a distributed log concept. Generally offload offset management to consumers. i.e Kafka, Kinesis

Enterpise Messaging Systems favor flexibility above all else and usually have some mechanism of encoding the flow of data separately from the applications themselves. i.e exchange routing topologies in AMQP as an example. They can generally implement pubsub, queues and direct messaging paradigms.
Tradeoffs being poorer availability, complexity and poor performance vs specialised systems. i.e RabbitMQ, HornetMQ, etc.

So you end up using Kafka when it's limitations aren't a problem and you need the throughput. It works best when each and every message in a stream is homogenous as such failure to process a message is unlikely to be independent of failure to process a following message. This alleviates the main drawback of streaming systems which is head of line blocking.

Some cases where it works very well is event streams, data replication/CDC, etc.
