Regardless of the outcome, it is clear that the trial (and the inevitable appeals) is going to leave its mark on the future of app stores and digital distribution. What started as a dispute over a random game turned into possibly the highest profile lawsuit Apple has had to fight. They made Tim Cook take the stand for the first time in his life. A lot of damaging PR was unearthed. Apple and others have already announced concessions for developers in the last few months (like cutting the rate to 15% for the first $1M in revenue, followed closely by Google who did the same). Antitrust investigations in the EU and other jurisdictions are picking up steam. This saga is far from over.

I'm not so sure it is. You're allowed to refuse service to a black person, for instance—you just can't do it because they're black. But this law says you can't ban a politician at all, not merely because they're a politician. This law would be like saying you can't refuse service to a black person for any reason.
Can't recall the Guardian killing anyone, but perhaps you can undertake a search for how often they've been sued for libel. That'd be better than just insinuating that they've done equivalently bad things, without offering any evidence.

Realistically, there's very little in the economy that depends on biodiversity. A few crops might suffer from the loss of certain pollinating insects. And potentially some drug discovery might slow from lower biodiversity. And some tourism in places like the rainforest may decline (but mostly replaced by tourism to places like Vegas).

But there's really no reason to believe that even a major loss of biodiversity would have any significant economic implications. Certainly not more than 10% of global GDP. That doesn't mean that it might not be something worth caring about for other reasons, but the economy definitely doesn't rely on it.
> x86 instructions can straddle MMU pages and even cache lines.

That doesn't change the size or power-requirements of the decoder however. The die-size is related to the total-work done (aka: O(n) die area). And O(n) also describes the power requirements.

If the core is stalled on MMU pages / cache line stalls, then the core idles and uses less power. The die-area used doesn't change (because once fabricated in lithography, the hardware can't change)

Kogge-stone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kogge%E2%80%93Stone_adder) can take *any* associative operation and parallelize it into O(n) work / O(log(n)) depth.

The original application was the Kogge-stone carry-lookahead adders. How do you calculate the "carry bit" in O(log(n)) time, where n is the number of bits? It is clear that a carry bit depends on all 32-bits + 32-bits (!!!), so it almost defies logic to think that you can figure it out in O(log(n)) depth.

You need to think about it a bit, but it definitely works, and is a thing taught in computer architecture classes for computer engineers.

--------

Anyway, if you understand how Kogge-Stone carry lookahead works, then you understand that any associative operation (of which "Carry-bit" calculations is associative). The next step is realizing that "stepping a state machine" is associative.

This is trickier to prove, so I'll just defer to the 1986 article "Data Parallel Algorithms" (http://uenics.evansville.edu/~mr56/ece757/DataParallelAlgori...), page 6 in the PDF / page 1175 in the lower corner.

There, Hillis / Steel prove that FSM / regex parsing is an associative operation, and therefore can be implemented in the Kogge-stone adder (called a "prefix-sum" or "Scan" operation in that paper).

Not even back then. It was only 150 years ago that the transcontinental telegraph allowed messages to pass from one side of America to another in hours rather than a "couldn't be done" 10 days for the Pony Express. in the 1856 election it took weeks or even months for the news of the new president to reach across the country.
All bluetooth is compressed with a variety of algorithms. Some are better than others, but none are lossless (not even aptX-HD). I believe Apple is about to release a firmware update that they claim will allow some of their cans and buds to support ALAC, which is lossless, IF you have Bluetooth 5 devices, and only use it short range. My guess is that it will dynamically degrade down to AAC-256 if the devices are too far apart. Bluetooth 4 devices cannot support lossless simply because they do not have sufficient bandwidth.
I read the article and had the same feeling. The details are interesting but the arguments seem weak, particularly his argument about how self-contradictory Orwell was.

I think that you stretched the game analogy far beyond what reality allows for. Virtual avatars don't actually "need" anything. Sure, there are things you _want_ in the game. You won't freeze to death without clothing, you won't starve to death if you don't eat, and even if you did, you would just respawn.

I think UBI as a model sucks, for a bunch of reasons.

1. It allows people to do nothing. People who are able should work. People who can't, we can help. But it shouldn't be an abusable system where one can simply say "I can't work" and no questions are asked. Everybody in society can't just say "I don't want to work" -- everything would fall apart if we did that. In the interest of fairness, then, all who are able should contribute.

2. What do you do when someone blows their UBI on drugs or gambles it away? Do you just let them starve to death? Maybe they don't have a drug or gambling problem, but they just suck at managing money and routinely overextend themselves. How do you handle that? If your answer is "just give them more money", then we have a big problem where now anybody can game the system for as much money as they want. If your answer is "tough shit", I think you will miss some nuanced situations.

3. Do people with children get more? Can we put a cap on that, or do people just get to have as many children as they like, and everyone else has to pay? Kids in the US are already fairly heavily subsidized through tax breaks.

4. All the people who are doing the work to make UBI viable get nothing from it (sure they get a check, but that's just going to be some amount less than whatever extra they pay in tax to support the system). There's nobody there to ask questions and keep people honest. And yes, there is administrative overhead for social services you need to qualify for, but I'd argue that has its benefit in encouraging people to be productive members of society and not moochers.

I don't think UBI would result in mass unemployment but I do think we'd have a good number of people at the bottom doing absolutely nothing productive with their lives.

All that said, I do think that social services need an overhaul. I just don't think UBI is the way.
Would "being told you have a bomb on board" qualify as an emergency in this sense?
What's different is you get functionally different links. GitLab aliases to the branch name, not the commit hash. So it isn't really a "permanent" link to a line of code. It's whatever happens to be on line N in file X on branch Y at time T, whenever you open the link. This is inconvenient when I might find an old link in an engineering Slack thread, referencing something now much different since the file was amended over time. In fact, the file may not even exist anymore.

GitHub, by default, includes the commit hash. So the line of code will be the same at any point in the future: the file, at that line number, with that commit hash, is immutable (unless developers force push history rewrites, but you get my broader point).

It's now flagged. A comment saying that the forced landing of the President of Bolvia's plane in Austria, due to the US belief that Snowdon was on board, could be somehow relevant to the forced landing of a Ryanair flight in Belarus of someone the government believes is damaging them.

Well you can still empathize with the pain that other feeling, conscious creatures on Earth experience as a direct result of our actions. It's one thing if a meteor strikes the earth and you simply witness a mass extinction, it's another if you ARE the meteor.

We should care about biodiversity because it affects humans AND because it affects other living things which also have emotions and feel pain and will suffer as a result of what we've done. "Mother Earth" as a concept doesn't exist but other animals do. I think that's what people usually mean by that phrase.

It was embarrassing for like 50 years of human history.

Historically women got married around the age of 14-16, to men older than that, and marriage would often come with greater access to goods and services. That really started changing with the advent of mandatory public education, so it started changing like 100-ish years ago.

If you don't believe me, check the age your grandparents got married at. It was probably in their teens.

It's not analogous. The Morales incident was wrong, but not the same.

Firstly, Morales' plane wasn't a civilian airliner, it was his government's private jet. Secondly, no fake bomb threat was involved. Thirdly, nobody was arrested.

And it's now being employed as a "whatabout" distortion by those sympathetic to (or uncritical of) the Belarusian action. The two incidents differ drastically. Actions of a state against another state's leaders is one thing. Actions against civilian aircraft is another thing entirely.

As someone with the misfortune to work in a large enterprise, this doesn't make sense - corporate are very sensitive to data leaving their network. As just one example, the place where I work very rarely let's us use anything cloud-hosted (Slack is just one example). And when the do, it's a years long process to get it.

I haven't looked into how this works, but if it's sending keystrokes or command lines to the cloud (one of the founders is here, please do correct me if I'm wrong!), it has no chance of being used in your average corporate environment.
I really like this, but I stopped using it a year ago because I noticed the temperatures it showed for Toronto were nearly never right, or even close.

For example, right now wttr.in says it is 20C, but it is 26C and rising. The temperature is going up to 29C this afternoon, but wttr.in tells me it'll only be 22C. That's a significant error.

I was going to use wttr.in for my dashboard because it does look really cool, but wherever they get their results from is terribly inaccurate.

Yes, still unencrypted but I don't think any ATCs upload their recordings themselves. It's volunteers that record and upload recordings to sites like liveatc.net. So it requires that someone was already recording the ATC at Minsk for this recording to be available.

Thousands of years is a VERY optimistic estimate. In the meantime, that's quite a few human generations who will have to live in a relative wasteland (compared to peak biodiversity). And that's IF you're right and we can just industrialize ourselves out of this problem too. Consider me skeptical.
Honestly, they're probably stuck with Samsung for the mid term (5 years). You simply can't get any TSMC capacity on their top nodes when Apple and AMD get first and second bid on everything. Maybe GloFo will figure out their issues, and maybe Intel will sell their latest nodes, but until then companies are stuck with their current partners.
This is the most interesting part for me:

PILOT ASKS FOR FURTHER DETAILS

Pilot: Again, this recommendation to divert to Minsk where did it come from? Where did it come from? Company? Did it come from departure airport authorities or arrival airport authorities?

There he was on the right track to do what we always recommend to avoid being fished: Independently verify from the original source.

Controller: This is our recommendations.

Minsk thwarts it by telling the truth and going into Milgram Experiment mode:

Pilot: Can you say again?

Controller: This is our recommendations.

Pilot: (unreadable.)

Pilot: Did you say that your recommendation?

PILOT AGREES TO LAND IN MINSK

Unfortunately (but understandably) pilot obeys.

Its not just that it doesn't always apply. Its that the absracted rules are not useful as stand alone guides to developing code, although they are presented as such. Its the entire purpose of the book isn't it? The argument against this book isn't that books about code style and rules are bad. Its that this one is bad. And its often recommended as core reading material to new developers (several examples of that in this thread). I've read several code style / guide books over the last decade. This is one of the few I put down fairly early on because it just didn't seem very good.

There is a bit of a difference between using a legal framework to enforce a policy (the parties know what to expect) and arbitrarely chasing a commercial jet with a MiG (the parties don't know what to expect).

Yes, I know, this is my entire point.

They should have tried a composite index, which they didn’t.
In situations where a controller believes that an aircraft has hostile intent (say believe it's been hijacked), then they (and/or air force) will give specific instructions. Obviously if you think you might have a 9/11 situation with a plane coming into say London, you tell them to divert to Stansted (well away from the city). If they continue flying to central London, then at some point you have to take the decision to shoot it down, or hope that the pilot isn't going to fly into a building.

That decision would probably come from the PM in the UK.

An engine failure situation then sure, it's upto the pilot.

(Of course in this specific case it was a hostile government hijacking a commercial plane and there was no legitimate reason at all to divert to Minsk)
All I want to know when confronted with a headline like this is: FTL info transmission or not? I can’t discern the answer from the article. So I’ll assume as always there’s some gotcha that means it’s a no.
Sad. Cuban cobalt is definitely not conflict free.
Filed alternatives are for fuel planning and satisfying the bureaucracy (showing the flight complies with ETOPS etc).

In a real emergency the pilots will select the most convenient airport based on whatever factors they are presented with. Especially so in today's world of paperless cockpits, in the past having the correct approaches to hand might have tipped the balance in favour of a planned alternative.

This is a good article on that specific sub-topic of the covid mRNA vaccines: https://cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/vaccines/tiny-tweak-behi...

Also, replying to the grandparent: vaccines per se are not necessarily safe out of the door, they're medical products and as such can have potentially many unforseen and troubling consequences. However, in the past all the unforseen consequences of any vaccine (whether still used, or since then retracted from the market due to problems) would become known a few months and a few tens of million people into the phase 3. That's when it is very, very safe to jump on board. And this is definitely already the case with all the popular covid vaccines.

To summarize: human data trumps everything in medicine, and we've had A LOT of data points.

> incremental organic evolution will happen after extinct animals are cloned, reintroduced into amenable habitats, and multiply for thousands of years

This is better than nothing. But species don't exist in a vacuum. Re-introducing an extinct species to a biome could be as jarring to its neighbors as its original elimination was. The most conservative path would be to cauterize the would and let the system heal, even if it takes a few million years.

For an absurd example, consider the effect of introducing a large number of saber-toothed tigers to their original habitats.
If the comparison to a recent event is strengthening the propaganda machine of those regimes, that says a lot more about said recent event than it does about those regimes.
