Yes, we knew that design was common - that’s why that PC fan made the video picking it as a point of criticism – but that doesn’t tell us whether it’s as big a deal as being claimed. That would require some benchmarks running for long enough to see substantially greater thermal throttling, higher CPU core temperatures, etc.

Interesting to see there is more IPv6 use in the weekends, and also during the Christmas break, indicating that more people have IPv6 at home than at work.
Your consciousness is a physical process happening in your body (especially your brain). It can no more travel the universe than your digestion can manifest in another galaxy.

Also, even if consciousness is somehow separate from the body, it is still subject to the speed of light limit, as long as it can interact with the physical world.
Even if so, I still don't see the point of wasting the space and power, however small, on what has no use being in space.

> Freedom creates inequality. The freedom to excel comes with the freedom to do poorly at the game. Why should everyone be in the same position? They didn't put in the same effort.

I really dont think the difference is just in "effort". If I inherit money I did not put in effort, but I am getting super ahead. The luck plays role too. Plus, how much additional advantage I can get from being already little bit ahead is what creates a lot of inequality.

America is not known for a lot of welfare either. It is not country where it is comfortable or easy to be poor.
I don't think it's stupidity, it seems more like an increase in mental health deterioration.

I remember this episode of Freaks and Geeks (old show) where one of the main character's girlfriend comes out as an hermaphrodite. Someone goes up to them later and says "hey guys". The main character punched the guy in the face. This was a serious scene and I just bursted out laughing at the absurdity of the whole thing.

I refer to groups of girls as "hey guys". What am I supposed to say "hey ladies"? That's become such an archane Austin Powers mannerism.

I feel like these people see "guys" in a jockish sense like "one of the guys". To me and I suspect the majority of people it's still gender neutral.
Sure, I was there.

Right, but it explains why housing prices fell.
Modern vehicles of similar weight to an old wagon have better suspension components, wider wheels and tires, and most importantly better tires. A modern refresh will have an old wagon cornering just as well, if not better than a "crossover".

The modern crossover/compact SUV trend is worthy of nothing kinder than active contempt.
You're saying that .NET is not capable or bad when it comes to handling such a tools like building systems?
Exactly, that is why I'm saying that the statistical truism that the article puts front-and-center is useless.
Try explaining that to the "any death with Covid must be avoided at all costs" crowd. There is a good chance that the months preceding the global lockdown will mark the high point for all forms of progress on wage, wealth, and gender equality, and that the post-lockdown world will strongly favour the already wealthy and powerful.

It really makes me mad how predictable this has all been.
Sure, but Intel hasn't even been able to ship 10nm or 7nm in meaningful quantities for years. I have my doubts that stacking is yielding well for them...

Even in rural area's prices the velocity of the market is nuts. Friend of mine sold a house for 1.3 million euro in 1 week... Insanity. A few years pre 2008 it was normal for houses in that price range to be on the market for at least months
> It's already annoying if you have a house to sell for a ridiculous price but imagine you are looking for your first property. Hopeless.

Yeah, we had to "strong arm" our landlord into selling to us be essentially breaking our lease and being huge pains in the asses. That is, we refused to allow open houses and showings in June/July of last year. Basically, it was "sell to us or good luck selling some crappy tenants."

It worked out though!
Material prices for new builds are also rising fast. Wood prices have doubled and steel is up as well. I know this as we are looking to build a house.

I'm not an economist but it seems that gazumping and it's evil twin, gazundering (where the purchaser demands to pay a lower than agreed price, or they will pull out) don't necessarily cause increases in prices over the long term, but instead they increase volatility.

When prices are rising, gazumping makes them rise faster, and when the market is tanking, gazundering makes them crash harder.

Just my theory based on observation.

why do US employers have the time, money and energy to do drug testing for anything other than dangerous jobs? it's such a totally bizarre effort to to make, even aside from invading the privacy of your employers.
Not just the middle class. My lodgers used to spend 1 evening a month moving balances from one interest free credit card to another. The pandemic has meant they've paid their debt off. They suddenly asked about ISAs (British tax free savings accounts) and buying things for the house.

No booze, no eating out, fewer drugs, no entertainment events, no holidays, it cuts across economic groups.
I feel for the children.

I've seen the drastic difference between kids in daycare and children at home. The difference in a 2 year old is sentences vs grunts and a few words.

Given I heard similar situations all the way to high school levels, we basically stunted a generation by a year.
No, processing deteriorates the sound from what you had in raw capture form. I stand by the assertion. MP3 quality at best, previous-generations-of-modeler more likely. It's not going to be Kemper grade running on a RPI, and that's still MP3 quality, just not 'super low bit rate MP3 quality'.
I have been working for a few years now on Exomind[1], a personal knowledge management tool that takes the form of a unified inbox in which you can have your emails, tasks, notes and bookmarks organized into collections. I have an iOS and a web/electron client at the moment, and a simple Chrome extension for bookmarking. It supports basic extensibility via WASM applications.

Its backend (Exocore[2]) is built on top of a personal / private blockchain and is made from the ground up to be hosted in a semi-decentralized fashion on your own personal devices (your computer, raspberry pi, a cloud instance, etc.). It is written in Rust and has iOS, C and Web (WASM) clients.

It has very rough edges, but I'm using it daily to organize my life. It has also been my learning playground to improve my Rust skills over the last two years (it was on another tech stack before).

Elite universities are supposed to advance elite science - stuff like math, physics, technology, sociology, history. They also train people for work that requires such training.

But, they dont create public education policy nor should they. They are not subject of public elections nor are they responsible for budget.

Presumption of consent in the context of organ donation is a very complex topic[1]. Amazon stealing your network is not a profound moral quandary, and comparing the two as level ground is either an indication of lack of comprehension or intentionally being a bad faith contributor to the argument.

Most Surface Pro x86 devices do not let you enroll user keys through the firmware. In fact the original Surface Pro doesn't even have the UEFI MS key, so it can't even boot Shim. Following Surface devices do allow you to enroll the MS UEFI key through a firmware update (requires Windows), and starting from Surface Pro 3 iirc the UEFI MS key is builtin (but still no option to enroll your keys through the firmware).

However, they all do have the option to disable Secure Boot entirely (and you get a permanent red boot screen for the privilege).
In this context sight has a couple of meanings. The first is like the sighting of land from a ship. The sight of the house is a glimpse of it. The second is simply the condition of the house.

I might tell my kids, “I can’t stand the sight of your room right now.” Which means I am upset by viewing the condition of their messy room.
Rates are persistently low preventing mass inflation which is a risk due to increased money supply. So, property is a nice holding zone, increasing demand thus increasing prices.

In other words, nobody wants to hold liquid asset at the moment.

Yes - to protect the value of sterling as part of a half-witted attempt at joining the Eurozone. A third of the UK either lost their jobs or even their homes in that recession. That is what created Brexit - a whole generation scarred by a hoodwink attempt at closer integration into the European project.
In 2020 your post would be flagged. I wish our politicians could do statistics.
Totally agree. Just that I probably mean another group.

Its incredible how common it is that people picture themselves as self-thinking individuals who came to their conclusions by doing their own research ... and then repeat all the standard talking points by some other group.
No, it's not incorrect. You are giving one example when that would be incorrect. To prove this is incorrect, you would need to offer a large number of examples similar to what you did, but with a uniform distribution of population distributions (because we're claiming complete ignorance on how populations should be distributed - so each scenario is as likely). Once you do that, do you still believe the statement to be incorrect?

Hint: write code that tries all distributions wihin a certain range, then check the probabilities of a person within any of those scenarios being correct.
Trauma is categorized to cater the treatment to the wound.
To add a contrasting anecdote for balance, the only issue I've had with B&W headphones (I've had P5, PX, and now have PX7) is that the arm of my PX snapped - probably in part due to how I'd cram them into my backpack and that I got them early in the product life when they shipped with a quilted fabric soft case.

Despite it probably being as much an issue as my care as the product packaging, B&W replaced them rapidly without complaint and I've had no issues since.

Also the carbon composite construction of the PX7s is one of the best I've seen. I tried a pair of AirPods Pro which felt premium but were so uncomfortable due to the weight and design causing huge pressure on the contact points with my head. PX7s feel very solid but don't have the weight penalty to go with it.
I'm kind of an amateur, but incredibly curious, willing to learn and do hard work.

I have many ideas and questions regarding your paper:

- How do you adjust weights between different spikes?

- Do you use or implement a kind of wavelet for wave-propagation, in example for spike interferences?

- What neuromorphic hardware can I buy to run your code/ the SNN?

=)
I would say this would certainly add a lot of value in terms of privacy.

It is possible to create a scheme where transactions happen absolutely anonymously, both horizontally between payer and payee and vertically. Payments would thus be completely private given the used cryptography holds. However, it does require some authority that needs to be trusted, a national central bank for example. At this point, the currency would already be similar to regular cash in terms of trust and value.
I naively assume that if you buy an extra house as investment, you rent it out. So the house is actually being used, no need build extra houses or have a longer commute.

Blindly investing and then assuming that it still has value when you retire has a lot of risks. This sometimes happens with owners of small shops who hope to retire with money they get from selling the shop.
The website works fine for me - searching e.g. Céline shows 126 products.
> For a simple reason - because we know, empirically, through decades of studies(some of which were done by the very US of A!), that it produces better results for the entire society

Is that why America's per capita GDP is higher than that of the EU? Why the US, not the EU, is the world's center of innovation and the strongest magnet for talent?

I don't think that trying to make everyone the same is good for society or conducive to high levels of human accomplishment. Striving for excellence will inevitably produce winners and losers, but if you don't do it, you just end up with mediocrity stew. I'm not going to cut off the right side of the distribution of human accomplishment on the say-so of people who have some weird ideological commitment to human sameness.

Confident JavaScript: Encoding and Decoding payloads for saner applications
It would help if people who were voting against each other were at least allies when it came to country and constitution, life and liberty, but it increasingly appears that a good many people are simply voting to try and upend the entire thing.

If it keeps going that way then war is simply inevitable because people will get to the point where they literally have no choice but to, at great sacrifice, urgently stop radicals from cannibalizing basic civic stability and economic prosperity. Otherwise there won’t be any country left to vote and thrive in.

It’s my opinion that anyone who wants to vote should be required to go through the same process as someone who wants to become a citizen, demonstrate an understanding and respect for the foundations of what they wish to participate in and not be “allowed in” if they are found to actually an enemy to it.

Vote suppression they will say, but what’s wrong with that if it’s suppressing something that wishes only to destroy?
True. They've both kept their jobs (I think even with furlough taking 20% of income they've been better off in cash terms).

Lots of lower income people have been hit hard by inflation and stagnant or drops in income.
It’s a big world. The best workaround for this is to move. Leave the overpriced cities and even overpriced countries. If enough people do this these rent seekers will not get a good return and will start unloading property.

On a related note it’s important to fight for telework culture or this can’t work. Remote work could be the single best thing to happen for the middle class in a generation or two.
At least in the US - the increase in savings rate is tightly correlated with the stimulus payments. I'm pretty sure you got a lot of stimulus in Canada, too.

>90% of adults don't have kids in daycare.

Even if you assume that all toddlers 1-5 go to day care and all of them have two parents (over 18) and no parents have two toddlers, the max is ~12% of the population. In reality, it's probably closer to ~7%.
Warehouses have a solution for that, which doesn’t require drug testing everyone. If you get injured, you’re required to immediately get a drug test. If you fail, you’re fired and they don’t have to cover anything.
Battlesnake: Head to head competitive snake, controlled by code
I had to sell my house in the Netherlands when I moved back to my home country in Q3 last year.

I was apprehensive if it'd sell fast enough or not because it was super challenging to arrange for the monthly mortgage. Even the broker didn't seem all that positive about selling it in the coming months because apparently the demand wasn't too great due to corona. She suggested we price it such a way that I don't lose money.

But. The very first person who viewed the house bid for it, 5% over the quoted price, signed the purchase agreement in like two weeks. I was over the moon, I even made a profit when all I was looking for was to just wrap up things at Netherlands.

It was a clear sign that housing demand was red hot in Amsterdam. The prices were already increasing since ~2015 due to a bunch of factors like Brexit and what not but then this pandemic pushed it to a whole new level. Craziness.
It's not okay to over hype a product and calling an autopilot when it's really just a glorified automatic break system and steering system. This caused people to die, and similar story doesn't seem to happen with other car brand with similar feature in their car (automatic breaking and automatic stearing in traffic).

This is a very good summation of the problem. People do not want to change their consumer habits and their voting choices reflect that.
We’ve been on our way there for a long time my friend. The downfall of the US middle class started in the early 1970s. COVID may have accelerated some of those trends, but on the flip side it also vastly accelerated telework which allows people to escape cities with insanely high costs.
mp3 is often better, it removes close frequencies that your ears can't hear baring tricks like very slow phase shifts. Speakers and amps are asked to do less work, so they often sound better, particularly at high volume.
The same applies to the air the sound travels through and your ear drum and bio-pickups. You can often tell the difference, but its arguable if before or after mp3 processing is and improvement or destructive in terms of psychoacoustics.

Depop isn't alone in this, Vinted[1] has a current valuation of $4.5B and is hugely popular in Belgium, Netherlands and France (maybe more places, but those i can definitely say).

In both platforms there is influencer-heavy marketing. Many fashion influencers(i really dislike this term, but it is the nomenclature) sell clothes that they wore very little in Instagram advertisements. This is a great business model for them, people follow them more tightly because they are actually able to buy for (mostly) affordable prices some of the clothes they see in pictures and they also get some additional under-the-radar cash.

Maybe the punk music had more to do with it. Sounds like the guy was keying off of subtleties of sonority and emotive quality which are a lot more fragile to digital processing.

It's quite easy to overprocess a digital audio file and wind up with something that is pristine as far as frequency response, but flat and 'pod people' like as far as emotive cues and intensity. Aliasing and cumulative losses to word length issues have a lot to do with it.

It's VERY easy to make digital stuff accurately represent frequencies like 2 Hz or 35kHz that our ears don't hear. It's a lot harder to make the digital stuff perform in the midrange when our perception can go, inconsistently and irregularly, waaaay beyond what we're used to thinking of as the limits.
