Also, locking down everyone (and its economic consequences) probably had / will have an effect on number of suicides (not sure if negative - I can't stand it, I'll kill myself - or positive - I can't stand it but life will be better after covid)
Why do people try to put accessibility arguments on people rather than doing this intelligently per language in the IDE? The functions to convert tabs and spaces (not mention how to represent them) is entirely configurable already. Is there something I'm missing?
If you click the BI link under the image [0] and watch the video they say they're still alive, and that they try to only drain 30% of their blood before putting them back in the ocean. But (paraphrasing) up to 30% don't survive the process and "no one really knows if they even recover down there".

Hm, yeah, that's a lot of context, thanks for the explanation! I imagine it would be hell to translate from Russian to something like English, because you lose all that effortless nuance and have to make it explicit in a way that sounds more forced.
> What i find weird is the extreme and very unscientific agression among certain virologist: "If you think SARS-CoV-2 was engineered in a lab, please unfollow me. "

Take a similar situation, imagine you were a structural engineer a decade ago and you tweeted "If you think 9/11 was an inside job because jet fuel can't melt steel beams, please unfollow me" or an astronaut tweeting "if you think we didn't land on the moon, please unfollow me" - whether the particular issue they've mentioned is true or false doesn't actually matter. They're trying to avoid the confrontationalists/conspiracy theorists following them/replying to their tweets. They're pretty much tweeting "don't @ me"

I both cringed and laughed at the same time. Thanks for the (not so pretty) picture in my head!
Oh, very interesting. The linked TIME article from 1924 (!) gives a bit more detail:

> While helium is exceedingly light as compared with air, it is somewhat heavier than hydrogen. The total lift of a helium-filled dirigible is accordingly some 10% less than that of the hydrogen-filled airship. The difference does not appear important at first sight, but the total lift of the gas carries the structure, the motors and the crew. It is only the last 20% or so that is available for carrying fuel, and hence a difference of 10% in the gross lift may spell a difference of 50% in the fuel-carrying capacity. On long-distance flights this difference is vital.

> Nor is the danger of fire totally eliminated with the use of helium; the gas-tanks and the fuel system generally are still vulnerable. But when a ship is properly designed and carefully handled, the danger of fire is comparatively small, even with hydrogen.

It doesn't differentiate. GDPR is about identities and using them for non-essential purposes. It doesn't take a stance on the technologies in use. According to our lawyer GDPR law texts doesn't contain the word "cookie" anywhere.

Storing a user identifying random id to any permanent storage (cookie, localStorage, etag, Flash, you name it...) goes against GDPR.
It's like folks are talking past each other here. There appear to be a substantial number of (I assume younger)posters that have never been to something like a symphony orchestra and don't see the point when they can geek out with FLAC at home. Maybe the orchestras should advertise "Come see our array of 120 separate high end speakers" and the kidz would respond.
There's a difference between quarantining the sick and a lockdown of the general public. There has not been any serious peer-reviewed literature on locking down a population in modern history. I do not think jumping straight to a global lockdown on a whim because "China did it" is responsible and justified? If you do the research, you'll see that all the health experts in Germany who were the first to advocate for the lockdowns and PCR tests did so based on Chinese propaganda. If you go through the timeline of how the lockdown came to be, it is VERY suspect and reeks of malign Chinese influence.

> Looking at the country list, I see Israel is the #5 most densely populated country in the world.

You're looking at the second table, which includes only the 100 most populous countries. If you look at the main table, which includes all countries, Israel is #17.
Unfortunately, there is a big gap between the viruses found in nature, and SARS-Cov-2 that bit humanity on the ass. We have not found an "evolutionary trail", so to speak between the two. You would think that if something evolves from A to B, that you'd find variants interpolating the two stages. In natural evolution, that's always the case. But in the case of SARS-Cov-2, this new virus magically appears in Wuhan.

Looks to me like this is just FSK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency-shift_keying), and if so that's great because it means you can use techniques more sophisticated than the ones in that post, which in turn means that you have a chance to go after more 'unreadable' discs.

I have zero sympathy for someone who stole a $200 necklace that my mother gifted my wife, as a token of remembrance and melted it to get some gold. $200 is not an issue. The memories associated with that artifact, the legacy - That is the issue. And in CA, the laws encourage petty crime like this, because of dollar value.

I don't know why I should care about if this thief is capable of change or should be rehabbed. I want to kick the shit out of the thief and get the necklace back, because this person has caused so much anguish to me and my family.
I don't see the point in tracking speed runs for a game that can be affected so heavily by luck

They would just have to pay the premium that short sellers were demanding. I see your point, but calling it a short squeeze seems odd to me.

"Volpocalypse" was indeed an unprecedented spike in IV, which the futures market was reacting to. Seems pretty different to me than the classic short squeeze scenarios of GME or Volkswagen.
>If he has the position from the filings - just today, when Tesla is down $22 - he has made over $16 million dollars in unrealized gains.

We don't have enough information to determine that. We would need to know strikes and expirations to even start to figure that out. AFAIK, we don't have either.

That's a pretty bad analogy. It's not like a lab leak is an extremely unlikely possibility at all.

The plight and occupation of Gaza isn't a technical curiosity. The answer is that there's a campaign of genocide and dehumanisation going on that bleeds into all aspects of life, that's why.
I’m glad you made it there noggin intact. Not everyone is so fortunate.
I agree w/ you in principle, but it's also worth pointing out that drug rehab in the US (and globally, but the US is the worst out of the countries I know enough about to assess) is a joke, court-mandated especially, eg: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/review-finds-many-wh.... putting aside the indentured servitude model, whether court-mandated or not, far too many rehabs adhere strictly to ineffective 12-step programs rather than harm reduction.

they're not necessarily worse than jail ofc, but they don't serve any useful therapeutic purpose either
Correct. It sounds a bit far-out (and it is) but we've proven the feasibility with a testing group of around 300 passengers using a multitude of different phones/altitudes/conditions/routes. GPS works in airplane mode, so we pre-cache target coordinates based on the filed flight plan and alert the passenger to hold the device to the window when overflying the target. The gyroscope is used to provide feedback on phone orientation so we can get as close to nadir as possible, but we're still able to correct for obliques at around 20miles on the horizon using some general inference. Resolution is a function of altitude and device, but upscaling techniques enhance the images even further after they're transmitted.

We've also developed our own sensing device prototype we call "The Box" that's equipped with a much more powerful array of sensors, but the mobile device-sensing approach makes the most sense for a scalable MVP.
There's no feedback loop on reports. They disappear into the ether, possibly never to be acted upon. It shouldn't be surprising users have zero faith they'll accomplish anything on their own.
While I’ve no doubt the speakers in your Porsche example sound great, the German car industry LOVES to upsell a customer to a speaker with a designer label on it - every single brand in the VW group does it, BMW, Mercedes…

I think the German manufacturers just understand their customers vanity, sadly, where being seen to have the brand matters. The label is practically more important than the sound beyond a certain point.
I don't know what you mean. HFTs (and some hedge funds) trade over time horizons with no information...therefore, it is unrelated to anything I am saying (they respond to liquidity, not fundamentals).

You don't understand. The reason why price trends is because there is a persistent imbalance between supply and demand because of the presence of non-financial buyers who take liquidity at bad prices.

Your point about soybeans make no sense, contango exists and is why commodity houses often have huge trading arms that generate lots of profit (they can put on contango trades like storing oil offshore in a tanker for six months). The reason why these trades generate profit, again, is because of a persistent imbalance between demand and supply (this is also why oil traded at negative prices...although this is slightly more complex because it involved financial buyers running ETFs who got stung by roll risk due to their own incompetence).

But, either way, the point is that you can observe that demand and supply is out of balance now and buy, and make money because prices will continue to rise because supply can't be brought on quickly (a good example of this is copper: exploration has been poor for a decade plus, head grades continue to fall...there is no way to bring on supply for years).

Some 80 million Americans voted for and many actually think Trump won in 2020, regardless of evidence. Much of them also think the events of 1/6/21 were fake or a non issue.

Think of someone you know of average intelligence then remember that 50% of the nation is under that bar. That's a lot of voters.
Having your data and your reports all in one place seems like the big selling point and I see this as pretty exciting.

But, is it a value in itself to reproduce the original sound perfectly? What if the processed sound is better?

When you listen to an LP you can hear cracks and pops. But when you sit in a concert-hall you can hear people coughing. You can sometimes hear people talking.

You can hear reverberation of the hall, that is not natural is it? It does not come from the players' instruments.

How much enjoyment does it take away from you if the music is not absolutely perfectly rendered the way it sounded in the concert hall?

At home when you listen to your super-stereoes you can hear sounds from the building, sounds from the street and sound of the wind and rain. Does it kill your enjoyment?

I looked into it[1], their net profit margins were 32% last quarter. 36% gross margins on hardware products (iPhone, Mac, etc) and 70% gross margins on services (AppleCare, Cloud Services, etc.). However services only comprise 19% of their sales, the other 81% of their sales are from hardware products (mostly iPhones). Their service sales seem to all stem from them making the hardware. For example the AppStore walled garden is protected by the hardware, AppleCare services their hardware, and Cloud services are integrated into their devices, etc. It may be possible in the future for apple to get high margin "service" sales from an Apple Car App Store, buying games and movies for your self driving car, for example. Regardless I'd definitely consider Apple a hardware company.

I don’t think these arguments are the opposite of each other the way you assume. I believe that punishment is important. I also believe that reducing the total cost is important, but not always to the point of reducing punishment where people aren’t punished for their crimes. It’s all relative, but here’s an extreme: you murder someone, it costs $10m to prosecute you and put you in jail for life, OR you are given $5m and told you get to keep it unless you commit another crime. The latter might be more effective, (I have no idea) but that doesn’t make it the right choice in my opinion. Obviously an extreme case that will never happen but it’s all grey is what I am trying to say...

It's not about removing, it's about finding who they are speaking out for.
> one source I read said that the non-satellite map data was actually correct, and it was the stitching of the satellite imagery that was incorrect

The opposite is true: If you look at areas like the Macau-Zhuhai border or Hong Kong-Shenzhen, you'll see that the satellite imagery is continuous but the mapping data has discontinuities at the border (some zhuhai streets are halfway across the water to Macau!)
It seems less simple than that since there is a political angle, which is mentioned in the article.

I think neither is exactly true. Like any endeavour that requires patronage, scientists have to sing for their supper. The combinations of scientists and patrons vary across time and space with some being more amenable to pure science and others breeding corruption. Like everything it is much more complex upon closer inspection.
This is wrong in practice. This is the theory put forth by Chesa Boudin and it has been an utter failure in SF. Criminals end up continuing to commit crimes because they know there are no consequences. Victims get victimized twice, once by the criminal and another by the “justice” system and the taxpayers end holding the bag in terms of cost with no real benefit because the criminals will continue to commit worse and worse crimes, leaving a trail of victims with no justice.

This idea of restorative justice is an abject failure. It might work for first time offenders, which I’m okay with trying on, but once criminals commit crimes multiple times, we need to protect society from them. Locking them up is the best way to do this.

The tides are turning against the idea that criminals shouldn’t see jails, because of how much of a failure it has been. I used to think maybe we shouldn’t be so hard on crime, but after not only being the victim but seeing what it had done to SF, I’m firmly in the camp of throwing criminals in jail. Mainly moderates like myself feel the exact same way in the last 2-3 years and it will show more and more in voting, especially in SF.
If it is in a tournament, it could even happen for reasons not related to the position itself. Let's say you have a winning position, but you are in severe time pressure. You really need a few moments to stop and think to figure out possible stalemate swindles your opponent might have.

You are about to promote to a queen. You realize that both of your bishops are still on the board, and promote to a bishop instead of a queen.

That lets you stop the clock and summon an arbiter to go find another bishop of the right color. While the arbiter if off dealing with that, you get your much needed thinking time.
I think the main idea here is to hook up young people to gambling.
So, I am exactly your target market. I run optimisation at a mid-size global company with a few websites (ranging from 100k to 100m sessions per year).

I do A/B testing day in day out. While it has its issues, I think completely dismissing it the way you do on the site makes me question everything else the site claims.

I looked at the live demo and it says about "significance", so I guess you're using a frequentist approach. The sample sizes are to small though, and I think you have SRMs, and it seems like the start and end times for the variants don't match. Also, in ecom it's bad practice to run any test or do much analysis on incomplete periods (eg a pay cycle).

Why aren't you using bayesian stats?

How can I compare test variants? We use monetate or SFCC a/b testing. Can it hook off events like GA can?
Toyota Australia rebuilt IT from incomplete info after cyber attack
Oh, if you're using homebrew and you want ffmpeg to support ALAC, you can do that. brew edit ffmpeg; add `depends_on "fdk-aac"` and `--enable-libfdk-aac`, `--enable-nonfree` to the relevant sections, remove the bottle section; then, brew reinstall ffmpeg. There's probably a better way to do this that doesn't trigger a merge conflict each time they update the bottle hashes (resolved easily with brew edit ffmpeg, repeat above), but I'm lazy and ffmpeg doesn't update frequently. I have no idea if ffmpeg can maintain ID3 tags from FLAC->ALAC or not, but if you have need of this knowledge someday, say hi to that future for me!
