Traditionally, lossless music has been a more indie-driven scene, mostly distributed through sites like Bandcamp and Beatport. It's certainly become more commercial today (and Tidal is still a ripoff), but I don't think it's fair to take that out on the medium as a whole. Modern lossy codecs are designed to trick your ears into thinking you're hearing the highest quality audio, not actually delivering it. When you remove that psychoacoustic element, it's an objectively different listening experience: whether or not you notice it though is a different discussion.
Sure, that's possible. But, even if it were some sort of other crime that was exacerbated or precipitated by a drug addiction, the fact that the sentence included the option of rehab + probation seriously limits the badness of that crime.

If this were the scenario, and I had to guess, I would say it probably was some sort of property crime. People other than the perpetrator tend not to get seriously (physically) injured in most property crimes, and insurance often covers the damages. In any case, monetary restitution to cover the damage plus rehab. should be a sufficient sentence.

> can actually drop fuel consumption by 70%, every passenger and cargo jet in the country will look like that in no time.

That is true if it had an actual reduction in total fuel spend over the journey.

This promises a ~70% reduction in rate, which is not the same thing as 70% reduction over distance, unless someone says at the same speed.

For instance, the double-bubble Aurora D8 did get 70% more efficiency out of the aerodynamics but also by cutting the cruise speed from 0.8 mach to 0.72 to make the aero work.

So more efficient per hour, but longer hours of flight which introduces additional spend.

The SUGAR FREEZE did something similar with extra wings under the main wings like a bi-plane, but again with big savings at mach 0.7 and only 10% at mach 0.8. But of course, the real cost shift there was switching the fuel type to something that can be manufactured out of co2+h20 (like pure methane).

That is an argument from ignorance logical fallacy. The inability to find something has no bearing on whether it exists or not and thus has no bearing on the probability of an inverted outcome.

Dark matter/energy also frequently fall into this sort of argument. There is no evidence that they do exist, which does not suggest the absence of their existence.

So far, the lab origin story sounds the most plausible and has the least holes in it. Now innocent until proven guilty is a thing, but is not like the PRC would ever agree to a fair trial.
Claiming that COVID came from a lab is pretty close to non-falsifiable, i.e. impossible to prove. I assume that if it was an accidental or intentional release of a bioweapon, all evidence would have long since been wiped clean. Making the claim that the CCP secretly created COVID is backed by zero evidence, and assuming they're even vaguely competent, all evidence to prove it would have been long since destroyed. This is a very unproductive path of inquiry,

Not surprising at all considering Wuhan Lab scientists admitted on video they were bitten by bats and they had lax to no safety standards. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4102619

> A video released two years before the start of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic shows Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) scientists being cavalier toward protective equipment and being bitten by bats that carry deadly viruses such as SARS, demonstrating a lax safety culture in the lab.

> On Dec. 29, 2017, Chinese state-run TV released a video designed to showcase Shi Zhengli, (石正麗), also known as "Bat Woman," and her team of scientists at the WIV in their quest to find the origin of SARS. Despite the fact that the scientists work in a biosafety level 4 lab, they show a shocking disregard for safety when handling potentially infectious bats both in the wild and in the lab.

> From 4:45 to 4:56, a scientist can be seen holding a bat with his bare hands. Team members from 7:44 to 7:50 can be seen collecting potentially highly infectious bat feces while wearing short sleeves and shorts and with no noticeable personal protective equipment (PPE) other than gloves.

> Virus researcher Cui Jie (崔杰) relates his experiences of being bitten from 8:47 to 8:50. He said that the bat's fangs went right through his glove, which was likely nitrile. He described the feeling as "like being jabbed with a needle." The video then cuts to a person's limb showing swelling after a bat bite.

That provides a plausible origin scenario of the pandemic: In October 2019, a researcher at the Wuhan Lab was bitten by a bat, got infected (asymptomatically), went home and unknowingly infected other people in the community, and the virus spread from there.

Sadly, I don't think we'll ever know what happened. Those who were directly involved with the early stage of the outbreak will never speak up, because Beijing issued a complete gag order on what happened. Anyone that speaks about the early stages of the pandemic be charged with espionage, and if found guilty, they can receive the death penalty. https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2020/11/9833532bb925-chin...

Databases use btree indices for two reasons:

1. They provide much better locality and updatability, because databases would historically get the data from extremely slow IO (spinning rust) btrees are a great fit, they're also extremely predictable (search, insert, and delete work in O(log n)).

2. hash indices only support exact matches, btrees support prefix and range matching, and they are ordered, so when all the stars align you don't even need to touch the data pages, you can serve an entire query by just reading the index.

Most databases allow opt-in hash indexes (and even other more complicated forms of indexes), but these are either much less flexible (hash) or much more expensive (gist/gin). The btree remains an excellent default.
Was the idea that we should inquire about the virus’ origin dismissed as such, or just the idea that there is already strong evidence of any particular origin story?

> not to destroy evidence lawfully sought by law enforcement.

But Apple's encryption does still destroy evidence lawfully sought by law enforcement. And in fact, Apple has gone out of its way to make sure that its encryption will still destroy evidence even in instances where law enforcement is trying to access it -- that was the entire controversy behind the San Bernadino case.

Apple wasn't willing to put holes in its security even knowing that their position made it harder for police officers to execute a lawful warrant.

> is designed to protect your data and phone after it’s been stolen by a criminal

I think I already talked about this above:

> Cellebrite does not only sell its software to the US government; one of its chief criticisms is that it doesn't really care who gets its code. So the threat model to end-users is the same, the same fears that would make me want to wipe my phone if someone is trying to get into it might make me want to wipe my phone if someone is trying to automatically pull large amounts of data off of it.

It's not clear to me that the threat model from Cellebrite is different than the threat model from a criminal. Cellebrite does not exclusively sell its software to the US government. And if Signal's devs could get their hands on it then there's no reason to believe that criminals couldn't get their hands on it as well. We already know their software has been leaked outside of law enforcement, because Moxie has it right now.

I'm not saying that the author is wrong, I believe them. And I can understand that exploiting a vulnerability might be treated differently than on-device data deletion. But the specific reasoning you give about intent to disrupt an investigation makes no sense to me. In both cases I'm defending against criminals who may have stolen my phone and may be trying to exfiltrate data. The police aren't who I'm worried about here.

It's not even that Apple/Signal's threat model seem to be 'technically' the same tunder some kind of narrow criteria or letter of the law, they're basically identical. As a layperson on the street or as a programmer trying to build secure software, I don't know how I would tell the two threat models apart. I don't know what test I can use here to tell when I am and am not allowed to be afraid of criminals stealing my phone and data.
Counterpoint: Dreamlike hipsterism is utility 0 navel gazing; there's nothing inherently transcendent about computing. You'd do more for the world at a local food bank; it's slacktivism and virtue signaling of the worst kind to see electronic baubles as transcendent or somehow worthy of permanence, the kind of naivete the bubble of Web 1.0 popping should have destroyed, or the misinformation campaigns of the last election, or the latest data breach should have destroyed.

If you want artistic sensibility, fine. But pretending a personal crusade to make permanent computers you can build as an undergrad sophomore is somehow a noble cause is pretending your hobby is cosmic in importance and utterly delusional.

It's like people who bloviate about GPL licenses: you can tell they've never gone to bed hungry.
If the GP's "multiline editing" means what is also called "block selection" (e.g. using Alt + arrow keys in Notepad++), then multiline editing won't work -- logically, just simply cannot work -- unless the text is aligned. Which is one reason why I think that was what was meant.

The other reason is, this is pretty much the only reasonable interpretation of "multiline editing" I can see here. Which makes me intensely curious: What did you mean by, or think was meant by, "multiline editing"?
> Is dwell time a meaningful/valuable metric to track?

Like most other questions of this nature, the answer is "maybe." Throwing out one possible scenario: We know some people keep tabs open for a long time. Does our dwell time data reflect that? If not then that's a red flag that we have work to do (maybe a memory leak from some framework lifecycle issue makes our page prone to crashes or being manually closed, maybe the content is such hot garbage that nobody thinks it's worth even keeping a background tab open with our site, ...).

> Like you said, it's really hard to interpret this data, so why bother trying?

Something can have a lot of value without that value being easy to extract. Like...I'm sure Amazon has detailed metrics about every mouse and keyboard event associated with any pixel with the gall to glance sideways at the shopping cart. It's probably hard to use correctly, but when a 1% increase can pay for hundreds or thousands of dedicated engineers and scientists the ease of interpretation starts to not matter as much.

> I'm starting to feel that it's perhaps not an acceptable set of norms to accept without a justified need

I'll need to think on it further, but on the surface that seems like a reasonable baseline. If you don't at a bare minimum know enough about your business and the data in question to be able to anticipate some actionable way you might actually need the data you want to collect then you'll probably do more harm than good for yourself and your users by collecting it.
Not really related to the article at hand, but I've been on a bit of a Google Maps binge the past couple weeks. I learned a few interesting facts, blurry Israel being one of them.

Another strange thing I found that might not be super well known (I didn't know about it) is that all GPS data in China is offset by a nonlinear psuedo-random amount. If you turn on the satellite view in Google Maps and look at various cities in China, you'll see that the road and business overlay is off by anywhere from 50m to 500m. And the strangest thing is that it's not a consistent offset from place to place.

Turns out this is very intentional, and China uses a different geographic coordinate system than the rest of the world. WGS-84 is the most common coordinate system, but China uses GCJ-02, sometimes called Mars Coordinates. Part of GCJ-02 is an algorithm that obfuscates the results. So applying any GCJ-02 coordinate to a globe using WGS-84 coordinates gets distorted like a funhouse mirror.

It's easy to find open source libraries to convert WGS-84 to GCJ-02 and vice versa. But Google Maps doesn't do it, for political reasons I suppose? I've read that if you open Google Maps within China the mapping data is correct, but have no way to test that.
my guess would be that they dont want clear image of slow destruction and take overs also before after pictures.
What's the point? After reading all the evidence, people such as myself firmly believe that it came from the Wuhan lab. Nothing the inquiry will come up with convince me otherwise. It's pretty obvious once you read all of the unbiased articles that show that months earlier, the same research facilities and scientists were touting their research in gain-of-function in bat coronaviruses. I mean come on!

Bureacracies like WHO will NEVER EVER say that it came from a Chinese lab. The "inquiry" will say that it's unlikely and try to bury the issue, and then it will just keep popping its head out in news articles that get ultimately ignored.

Not passenger airliners though. The most common passenger aircraft in active service shares the fuselage dimensions with the Boeing 707 which first saw service in the 1950s, but there aren't any 707s left in regular civil service.

Commercial aircraft rarely continue in passenger service beyond 25 years, never mind 65, and the maintenance requirements as well as the fuel bill means it doesn't make financial sense to try.
>ALAC is an open source format, which has all benefits as other open source format e.g. FLAC.
