Direct Debit requires a special license - this is not something any company can dio. Making a fraudulent charge will have this license revoked.

The authorization from the person being debited is required but in practical terms it does not always happen. People request DD and then forget to make the paperwork (today this is better because more and more DD agreements is arranged electronically). The bank will the allow the DD without the paperwork to make it easier for everyone (and ask the case to be fixed). In any case this i stheir risk but in the vast majority of cases it works.
Is that to suggest that the bed was perfectly flat + level before heat was applied? Most printers I've worked with have either fiberglass (in the form of FR4 PCB material) or steel beds, usually with some additional surface on top (glass, PEI, etc) and none which I've even seen have been precision ground. Unless you're going to utilize a precision ground print surface (and have the print head and motion stage trammed close to perfectly square), you're still going to wind up using mesh level compensation.

I guess I don't understand how a material with a low coefficient of thermal expansion changes the math any.

Tragic. My heart goes out to all the parents affected; the sense of loss of control on top of everything else can't be easy, at the risk of a tasteless understatement.

I'd love to see more data given I remember there was a lot of news articles(1) in the vein of 'we expected more of a suicide surge in COVID across all demographics... but we didn't?' and then a few weeks later, this article pops up. Either this demographic (and possibly others) was disproportionately affected, or something's fishy about data.

New Zealand has had the government fund a large portion of its fibre rollout and taken ownership of portions of the infrastructure companies. Infrastructure ownership is by different companies to service providers.

This has been controversial but it has had pretty good results. Gigabit is available in cities, with 2,4 and 8gb/s being rolled out now.

That's not true - evolution is about the best genes for survivability and reproduction continuing to be passed along. The evolutionary perspective here wouldn't be that there are downsides to this, but rather that people with this mutation are better able to survive and reproduce, so we'd expect it to be passed onto more offspring over the generations.
Deep learning papers often use math in a way that obscures rather than enlightens. And when you finally understand what they are saying, you realize it's not interesting at all, or they made a mistake in the math.

There are 1,100+ grocery stores in NYC.

There are only ~16 Whole Foods and 9 Trader Joes. And only one Wegman's. And not even a single "Acme", so I don't know where you got that from.

So no, I stand by my claim that the vast majority aren't national chains at all. You haven't "disproven" anything at all -- to the contrary, your list is actually a perfect demonstration of just how tiny of a market share these chains have. And I don't really care about nitpicking between local and regional chains.

My whole original point was that there aren't 3 major national companies that control the majority of grocery stores, and therefore it's totally different from Amazon. And that point still stands entirely.

A freight train can keep itself between two lines even faster, if the concern is delivery time, why not speed up the freight trains and automate the intermodal handoff.

In the old days if freight needed to get somewhere faster they would put some passenger coaches on the train and call it an “express” - maybe USA can finally have high speed rail if we can convince the freight companies to get on board, maybe we can call it the FedExEx

Maybe the downside is that someone who sleeps less will also tend to wander during the night, which increased the risk of dying before the modern world.
No, nothing as pedestrian as Coke, nothing as exciting as a single secret group running the world.

Maybe one or more worldwide conspiracies with a very banal kind of evil at their core :greed.

Here's a scenario.

Something like a bunch of suits in a pharmaceutical company's boardroom deciding that a pandemic (or cigarettes), are too good an occasion not do bonkers profits, despite millions of deaths, ethics and morals be damned.

It's a criminal enterprise, so nobody's taking notes during that meeting to bunk, debunk, rebunk, or factcheck anything about it later on.

Then said boardroom mofo's hire a "dark" PR firm masquerading as a law firm. Said legal firm notices there's a legal provision which could block the profit making, for example a 100% efficient treatment using a 2$, 70 year old drug, ivermetcin, so there wouldn't be need for pharma's yearly booster totally experimental mRNA shot which hasn't yet even started Stage 1 trials, except on rats.

So said law firm orchestrates a worldwide political, bureaucratic and media campaign to completely stifle diffusion of the cheap medicine's protocol.

Sadly, making and mass producing a new experimental vaccine ain't easy, and it takes 6 months to start deliveries. A million or two die.

Thankfully, western audiences don't five a flying f.. about what happens in on the other poorer continents and countries (Argentina, India, Mexico, Vietnam, Eastern Europe, Switzerland (!), where the drug works wonders in stopping the pandemic dead in its tracks.

Also sadly, it just happens the main guy in charge of pandemic response is in daily contact with the boardroom mofo's.

So the campaign works and the pharma sells hundreds of millions of doses, which only work for a year, the need a "booster".

Now multiply this scenario by "N" industry majors in "M" industries, and you have a whole bunch'a money corrupting a whole bunch'a people illegaly and covertly, in addition to their upfront public political lobbying.

That begins to look like one or more secret cartels controlling the world, and some people start to feel something is wrong, without knowing what, and they get paranoid and irrational.

They are called conspiracy nuts.

You are called the normal person. You are called this because you don't believe anything like this happens daily, as the TV box says that to you everything is OK.

You believe that despite a two hundred years of news archives, and history books replete with thousands of examples of criminal, intelligence, political, military, revolutionary, corporate, religious conspiracies.

Funny how easily we judge others, isn't it ?

Tangent, but has anyone taken Fast.ai or similar courses and transitioned into the Deep Learning/ML field without a MS/PhD? To be honest, I don't even know what 'doing ML/DL' looks like in practice, but I'm just curious if a lot of folks get in to the field without graduate degrees.
Land speculation is less taxed than, say, equities gains because of 1031 exchanges and forgiveness of the first $X of capital gains on a home sale.

I don't see how "rent extraction" is less taxed relative to other activities aside from depreciation, net income, etc. which is not unique to renting. Why is rent extraction favored in the tax code?

Actual work has little risk. If I don't show up in the office today they won't pay me for today. If I own property, in contrast, it can go down in value. Also, I probably have to pay to maintain it.
You don't get much of a safety boost right away with the auto-translation, because a lot (all?) of it will start out wrapped in unsafe blocks. The idea is to use it as a jumping-off point from which you can gradually migrate more and more code into safety

Making the instruction not speculatable would indeed be a hardware change, which there was not time for. So that was not an option.

And, let's say they did that. All other loads/prefetches are done in the early stages of the pipeline, when execution is speculative. I think they would need new logic at a later stage of the pipeline just for this instruction, in order to initiate a "late prefetch". That is potentially a lot of extra transistors and wires. And, at that point you have a prefetch instruction that doesn't start prefetching until potentially dozens (or more) cycles later. At that point using xdcbt instead of dcbt may just make your code run slower.

What about, then, an xdcbt which is seen in a context where it is known early on that it will definitely be executed - a context where it is not speculative. Well, there really is no such context. Practically speaking there are so many branches that when an instruction is decoded there is almost always a conditional branch in front of it in the pipeline. And, architecturally speaking, any earlier instruction could trigger an exception which would stop execution flow from reaching the xdcbt. Pipelines are really really deep.

TL;DR - On heavily pipelined CPUs (even in-order ones) you don't know for sure that an instruction is "real" until it is time to commit its results, and that is way too late for a "prefetch"

Your statistics aren't adding up.

There are 38,000+ grocery stores in the US.

There are less than 5,000 Wal-Marts. So if Wal-Mart is the largest grocery store, it's still less than 15% market share. Kroger has 2,800, and Costco has a little over 500.

The overall picture is clear: the long tail of supermarkets is long, and even the largest grocery chains command only a small percentage of overall market share.

Yes, this happens in the long run. In the short term, when a single gene has massive benefit, there must be some negative effect too, otherwise the entire population would quickly get that gene and that's not what we see here.

Not sure. All messaging solution brokers walked away from relational database based storage long time ago (I've seen how badly JBoss 4 messaging with persistence sucked) and for a good reason as either database was occasionally killed by messaging traffic, or messaging traffic was crawling because database was too slow.

In these days with Docker, ready cloud solutions getting the message broker is so simple that there is no reason to use database as a broker. If we know that our traffic will be so small, just install DB and message broker on the same VM, to avoid spending more on hardware or hosting.
Nah, it's symmetric.

An electron and a positron can annihilate, producing a pair of photons. Or two photons can annihilate, producing an electron and a positron. Or...

Well, in fact the symmetry works for any rotation, not just 180 degrees. An electron and a photon can "annihilate", producing an electron* and a photon going the other way. This is also known as "A photon bouncing off a mirror".

*: The careful reader will note there's no positron in this one. That's because positrons are what happen when an electron hits a photon so hard it bounces backwards in time -- that is, it's an electron going backwards in time. For one definition of 'time', at least.

To make the mirror version work, the photon needs to have lower energy than would be involved with matter annihilation. Otherwise your gamma-ray photon will tear through the mirror instead of bouncing back, probably making a nice hole. This doesn't mean the rotation doesn't work, it's just that what I was describing wasn't really a "mirror" as commonly considered. But also, because momentum (or, more usefully, rapidity) is defined in terms of the angle the particle makes with time, rotations other than 180 degrees don't conserve momentum. So it's not a gamma-ray photon anymore.**

**: Photons, obviously, have a fixed 'angle with relation to time'. You can take that as referring to the angle their waves make with time, instead.

I think this is hilarious. My girlfriend is the same way, so I would definitely try it if I didn’t have an iPhone!

The only downside I see is that this follows the trend of faking interactions over the Internet, which is something you see on social media platforms and the like and I think this could definitely be detrimental to social interactions and communication between a couple.

Of course, that’s not criticism for you but just for how people act including myself. Love the idea!

I wrote a tool that forwards selective Android notifications to a Telegram bot: https://github.com/fishy/notifbot

I wrote two blog posts to explain the background context and the motivation: [1] & [2]. The tl;dr is that I have some home automations around the garage door that is not 100% reliable, so I'd like some notification on Android Auto that could give me some confirmation. The app sending those notifications doesn't support Android Auto, but Telegram's android app supports that pretty good.

While that's the original motivation, after years of using it I also found other good uses of it: to convert notifications from some super annoying apps into something less annoying.

LePen is not going to change her opinion of the EU if it changes which language it uses because that's a surface level issue that doesn't affect any of the actual governance issues she or her voters care about.

Neither Switzerland nor Britain have ever reneged on anything. The problem is the exact opposite: Brussels has been changing, in big and important ways. The nature of the EU is that less and less is subject to veto over time, and the EU institutions never cared much what the treaties said anyway. Thus the "rules", such as they are, are constantly changing and often in ways that nobody agreed to.

Indeed the whole blowup with Switzerland is due exactly to that: the EU wants to keep changing the rules without getting the Swiss to agree and has been trying to force them to drop the previous separate bilateral agreements in favour of "dynamic alignment" i.e. accepting whatever the EU changes the rules to be at any time, without any pesky referendums.

And in the UK, a constant source of frustration in London is due to the impression that the UK argues against bad rules when they're being proposed but when passed it follows them, whereas other EU countries agree with the rules (easy) and then ignore them when they are inconvenient. See: Germany deciding that EU law isn't actually superior over their constitutional law, despite that being a supposedly inviolable aspect of EU membership. It's easy to find people who voted to stay in the EU (or EC as it was then), in the original Brexit referendum in the 70s, but who voted to leave in the 2016 referendum with a justification of "this isn't what I voted for back then, I was misled". The EU changed the rules of the game but people weren't consulted until much, much later.
If Intel ships a CPU with a bug in it then that is an expensive mistake. If they produce a bunch of CPUs with a bug (escape to silicon) that can also be an expensive mistake.

That said:
1) I deal with CPU bugs pretty regularly on Chrome. Some old CPUs behave unreliably with certain sequences of instructions and we get bursts of crashes on these CPUs with some Chrome versions.
2) Intel regularly "fixes" CPU bugs with microcode updates.
3) The Spectre family of vulnerabilities are arguably CPU bugs.
4) The Pentium fdiv bug was definitely a CPU bug.

So, CPU bugs escape to silicon all the time. Way more than I would have guessed just a few years ago. Our industry is built on a pile of wobbly sand.
The "suddenly" is in the context of this new practice of charging all developers (big or small) annual fees and demanding a recurring cut of their profit. Before this unnatural practice became prevalent, any computer user and / or Linux / Windows / Mac / Android developer could create and distribute software on the respective platforms for free without any such financial consideration.

My point is let's not normalise this practice in any manner - in the past too we used to pay huge fees for developer tools, but today the computing environment is totally different and that's why even the tech giants are adopting and pushing for free open source developer tools or providing their developer tools for free. Let's not regress to something worse.
I believe MoviePy uses ffmpeg underneath. Have not used ffmpeg-python, but MoviePy has nice higher-level abstractions like clips (both audio and video), time functions, transitions etc that you can then compose pretty elegantly. See some of the examples on their site:

I'm by no means an expert on this, but my understanding is:

* The British has done plenty to stoke up division between different ethnic groups as part of their 'divide and rule' policy.

* Britain could have used its troops to help ensure a peaceful transition, but decided not to.

> We are a union of 50 independent states, people seem to forget that.

We haven't forgotten it because it's not the case: First, the Constitution's opening words are "We, the People of the United States," NOT "The States of the United States ...." Second, the issue was conclusively settled at Appomattox and with the ensuing enactments of the 14th and 15th Amendments.

> The Senate is designed to be the State's (i.e the state governments) representative in the federal government

In the modern era that might still be viable if the Senate's power were only to veto enactments by the House, perhaps by a supermajority vote — and with that veto power being waived after X days — instead of what it is now, i.e., a roadblock even for popular House bills. The old "cooling saucer" notion seems outdated.
I once wrote a script to record the Tinder profiles I swiped left and right on, then fine tuned a CNN using the data and integrated it into an automatic swiper. It swiped right on my now partner!

The thing is, in Germany the people voting for the far-right party are actually doing fine economically and so are their friends.

I do agree that parts of the economy are not working properly. And still we can't seem to get ourselves to vote for different politicians that might do something about it. Yeah that means stuff changes and change and new things are scary, but not fixing those things would be worse.
When you commit to Postgres and the server acknowledges it, you know for sure that it's been written to disk and that it will survive anything but a hardware disk loss (or, obviously, system/FS bug). When clustering is enabled with synchronous writes, you can also be confident that the data has been recorded to another node as well.

With redis clustering, there's no guarantee the data has been replicated. I'm not even sure there's any guarantee the data you just asked to be recorded be stored even once if a power outage happens immediately after the request.
