I'm not sure that's the case, though? The way I have understood it is that if you opt in to Google's enhanced location (utilizing wifi and cellular APs), you also opt in to the collection of the same.

Personally, I just decline that option and stay with regular GPS. I remember a time before GPS (or Glonass, or Galileo, etc) and I have to say, I think it's just amazing. (I also remember a time with "selected availability", and while I appreciate that that particular veil has been lifted, I am a little bit concerned with the amount of power this gives to the US military. While I am sure Google would be basically an organ of the US military during war, it still feels better that alternatives outside of military power exist).
>> Guessing I didn't have the OpenMP version from my build, so this should be a performance boost.

The performance in 3.0 is dramatically better, not just from the OpenMP. We still have a lot of code that doesn't scale well because it's O(n^2) but what is there is much faster. There's also a post-3.0 improvement already in one slow area, and we hope to get Eigen in there to speed up the constraint solver.

>> is there a way to lock the vertical axis for orbit, what blender calls "turntable" style rather than "trackball"?

Oh man I forget. You might want to comment on this pull request: https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/pull/956

We obviously can't implement every option under the sun, but I think turntable is more asked for than the one implemented in the PR (which I haven't even had time to test properly).

When exactly did this "opt-out" start? I'm seeing cnet articles from 2011 about this exact thing.
Well, a wrong incentive.

A battery being charged can get to 60° without any help, usually it is a problem.

Any battery above around 20kWh will need very good cooling for any much high charging speed.

Battery volumes scale nonlinearly with their cooling needs, obviously. And big batteries require heavy cooling systems.

Under 20kWh packs may not need a cooling system as such, which is a big, big cost, weight, and complexity saver.

This way, a faster recharging, but smaller, and more durable battery might be way more practical in kms driven vs. hours spent charging.

Telsa gets 5 km per kWh, and takes an eternity to charge, Renault Twizy gets almost 10 km per kWh, and charges at 12 km per minute with aftermarket fast charger.
Joplin has been around for awhile in this space; has anything new happened?

I actually stumbled upon this podcast a couple of weeks ago when he just had about 15 episodes out and it's really motivating to listen to because I've been having the same plans (apart from the sailing) of going solo instead of staying employed forever. I'll definitely tackle this within the next quarter.

Unfortunately I never got to work with Tiago or Mathias during my stint at trivago but it's cool to hear what they're up to. :)
Windows 10 LTSC is the only version of windows released in the last decade that I would consider to be a commercially viable OS. It's a shame that it's nearly impossible to install, and I have to resort to illegal software to crack it to run on my PC.
I am morbidly curious to see how they screw up this Windows 11 to make it more un-useable than mainline Windows 10.
"Conspiracy Theories" are ideas. Since we aren't discussing any specific theory here, you're essentially making a blanket statement saying "I don't like ideas that involve things I don't understand, or that you cannot prove to me right now". Most major inventions, realizations, or advancements in the history of the world began by discussing things people aren't necessarily comfortable with discussing. Or things that might sound crazy at first. This line of thinking is on par with the people who considered it blasphemy to say the world wasn't flat....or the people who were on board with burning the "witches" at the Salem witch trials.

Secondly, I find it interesting that you shift the focus of your argument from the idea, to the person...especially considering we aren't talking about any specific theory here. That tells me that it doesn't matter what's actually being discussed, because you've already made up your mind. This is the mental foundation that allows things like discrimination and stereotyping to exist. Do you really not see that? Your cognitive dissonance is so strong, that your mind is tricking itself into actually believing there's something wrong with another person, simply because they discuss an idea you already made up your mind on.
To be fair the mac pro went through its own horrible shrinkage phase where it was not much larger than my $50 air filter. The old aluminum case used to be pretty large and pretty spacious internally, with many extra bays waiting for you to give them purpose. Not sure how the newest one stacks up to the first mac pro/mac g5 case.
Does it matter whether the code Google wrote to do it executes on your device or on their servers? In the end they try to group people based on their Amazon browsing behavior and Amazon doesn't want that. Nor should any sane user want that, and Google knows that that's why it's opt-out instead of opt-in.

Thank god they figured out it is illegal in Europe to do this without opt-in and didn't roll out FLoC here...
Also Mozilla: https://location.services.mozilla.com/optout (it uses the same _nomap suffix for opt out).
But still you have to explain why your code is the way it is on top of that. You can always deduct the what from mentally processing the code, but you can't deduct the why, you only guess.
Fidel Castro urged Russia to nuke the US during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

>"Mr. President, I have three questions to you. Number one: did you know the nuclear warheads were there? Number two: if you did, would you have recommended to Khrushchev in the face of an U.S. attack that he use them? Number three: if he had used them, what would have happened to Cuba?"

He said, "Number one, I knew they were there. Number two, I would not have recommended to Khrushchev, I did recommend to Khrushchev that they be used. Number three, 'What would have happened to Cuba?' It would have been totally destroyed." That's how close we were.

EM: And he was willing to accept that?

Yes, and he went on to say: "Mr. McNamara, if you and President Kennedy had been in a similar situation, that's what you would have done." I said, "Mr. President, I hope to God we would not have done it. Pull the temple down on our heads? My God!"
This is valuable context.

Yet, some high profile riders such as Ted King (possible the top gravel racer) and Lael Wilcox (ultra endurance racing and bikepacking) use these tires with success. If someone is getting a lot of flats using the Extralight casing, they should consider the Endurance or Ultra Endurance casings and/or setting up tubeless.

But even Jan will recommend the Panaracer Gravelkings when necessary, especially off-road[0].

That issue is a perfect microcosm to explain both the problem with polarization and information silos, and why progress on an issue like this is so hard, and why no progress is made forming consensus because neither side wants there to be.

The left presents the issue as:

- People already verify themselves

- Voter fraud doesn't happen

- This is used to disenfranchise voters by making it harder because poor people are less likely to have a valid ID.

The right presents this as:

- No proof is required in many jurisdictions

- There are instances of voter fraud, and while few, there may be a lot we don't see

- Voting is important, so we should take it seriously and require people prove their identity to vote

The problem is that both of these sides are entirely true. Namely, verify != proof, and people talk past each other on this, and selective omission of the other side's valid points lets people believe the other side is irrational or wants it in bad faith (Republican operatives may want to make it harder for certain groups of people to vote, but from what I've seen Republican citizens do not).

The respective parties have no interest in bringing people to consensus on this issue because right now it's one that activates the bases of the respective parties. It's a way to take moderates that might be tempted to vote against the party line or for the other side for select positions and people that they respect and radicalize them by papering over the real positions of those people with the twisted narrative put forth by the media that caters to that side.

People are for the most part rational and compassionate and don't want to hurt each other. But people are also easily misled into believing things because of curated information presented when they don't have counterexamples that they trust or first hand experience to the contrary, and those beliefs cause what is considered rational and compassionate to differ from person to person. We shouldn't hate or dislike the people on the other side, they are just like us. We should engage them usefully, and the first step of engaging usefully is accepting that we're like them also in that we're presented with curated facts, so we should be open to their points when we engage and accept them in good faith.

While I generally do not like subscriptions, surely “sync” falls into the category of “well of course that is a subscription”?

Someone must maintain a server indefinitely for you to sync whenever you want. That is a continuous cost that also has a scale factor, e.g. based on number of users. Without revenue proportional to that cost (e.g. per user), how can it be expected to remain functional?
A tangent, but I've found the iPad Pro to be fabulous for video editing. I haven't hooked it up to a keyboard/mouse combo, or plugged it into a monitor, but it's quite capable of both of those things.

I can tell you it's simply superior to a Wacom tablet for drawing, there I have a direct comparison. A PC/desktop will certainly exceed an iPad at some level: but now that the Pro model has an M1, it's unclear at what level that is. I certainly don't edit at a level where the difference between Logic and LumaFusion becomes apparent, and I expect that Apple releasing Logic for the iPad is a matter of when, not if.

The iPad is also as expensive as a good laptop, so in more than one sense those two categories are converging.

I'm sure your daughter made the right decision for her, I'm just taking the opportunity to build on your comment with a bit more evidence that the home computer is a vanishing breed.

Maybe something like Phoenix liveview? (or htmx / livewire / hotwire/ etc.)

Write SSR, but have the ability to render partials and swap html chunks into the DOM directly rather than running json through a CSR library.

You still get client originated events (user clicks a button) or server originated events, e.g. server wants to proactively push a change - at least for liveview and htmx.
Can you explain further? I'm guessing you mean once a mainframe's resources were outdated, it became a terminal?

The locations of streets are public records.

I have also hit this behavior and it is shocking - I gave a relative a laptop that should get 7 hours of battery life, but she was getting maybe 2 (and the laptop would get boiling hot) because the power mode defaulted to "performance". I fixed it for her when I visited but it reset itself after I left - a condition it remained in until the computer died from chronic overheating. It's scandalous.
The temporary coverup of the pandemic was done by a local branch of the CCP. The coverup of Tchernobyl was done by the CPSU itself. The internal disorder was a matter of dealing with a bad situation more than antyhing else.

You would know if the CCP wasn't in control of the MSS or if the CPSU wasn't in control of the KGB if documents were leaking, if people were being assassinated, and so on. But as far as anyone can tell the opposite happened, and the Politburo got rid of Zhou Yongkang, the removal by Deng Xiaoping of Luo Qingchang, and so on, there is a clear pattern of heads of the MSS being removed and changed by the Politburo when they step out of line or don't follow the direction of the government, and so on.

This isn't unique to China, by the way. The French also keep a much tighter leach on their intelligence agencies, first by separating domestic activities from foreign activities, and then by putting them tightly in the control of the Ministry of the Interior for the first and the military for the second, affording them very little latitude.

The Church committee made a lot of things public, but as far as how things were done in the CIA there weren't much big changes. There are credible reports that the Church committee even covered up the worst of it, see the reporting by Carl Bernstein.

And we know that many things the Church committee supposedly addressed, such as direct involvement by the IC into domestic politics, did not actually stop.

My personal experience with ADHD is that you are told it is a problem that needs medication, regardless of whether or not it impacts your life in a serious way.

Often, psychologists/psychiatrists/medical doctors will fail to include the literal definition of disorder. ADHD is one of those things that is a popular target for medications as a knee-jerk reaction.

That was sort of my point, I guess.
It does not require a block chain, period
If you actually speak to journalists they're very honest about how their job isn't reporting facts but it's interpreting the information and reporting it in a way with omissions or embellishments that make sure the general public, whom they look down on, have the correct takeaway from the story.

They see themselves as the chosen few who's job it is to do this and who's job it is to make the general public think and believe the things that are best for them and the believe it's a privilege to be in the position that they are to be in charge of doing that and are proud that is what they do.

A few years ago now I was reading a lot about Buddhism and its tenets about mindfulness and other ways of dealing with the things life throws at you or when you get into a negative state of mind.

A couple years after that I had a friend that was going through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with a psychiatrist, a really good one from what I could tell I might add, my friend let me read through the CBT book. Turns out, it's nearly identical to what the ideas Buddhism tries to teach, with all the religious aspect stripped away.

It's essentially the same concept though. Being mindful of patterns of behaviour or thoughts that lead to negative actions or mind states and the tools you can use to conciously avoid and correct them.

It really seemed to help my friend and honestly, it seems like something that would be good for everybody to learn.
It’s entirely possible the behaviour varies on different hardware/driver combinations.
Jackass hinted at the direction culture was taking with no-names getting famous over short shocking clips, but they also managed to stay relevant and draw huge crowds post-YouTube.

I've just started digging into the space, so maybe my question is way off base. I'm hoping someone will at least give me some insight though. Would it be possible to source the same level of credit data in a decentralized manner and use (e.g. send a loan to collections) all in a decentralized manner? If so, what is legitimately preventing the migration of all functions of a modern bank to a decentralized model?
Doesn't the virus spread, primarily, first through so-called super-spreader venues/events and then within households? If I read the article correctly, this was 9 individuals out of 24 thousand. It's plausible that there would be no mass outbreak.
From the linked article: "Of the 24,079 study participants with blood specimens from January 2 to March 18, 2020, 9 were seropositive, 7 of whom were seropositive prior to the first confirmed case in the states of Illinois, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi."

So 9 out of 24,079. Assuming the blood sampling is representative (which it is likely not) and just multiplying up to all 330 mio Americans. It would mean that 123,000 Americans would have had or had the virus at that point.

That sounds like a lot. (And it also sounds it would have been spreading for a while.)
the thing being discussed here is not specific linked articles, but the mere existence of this website.

That makes sense that there’s variability, many products have this. Not every single transaction needs to be profitable, only the aggregate.

If pathology is normally $100 and yet some cost $1500 then factor that into the cost based on the probability. Or insure against it. Etc etc.

These aren’t novel problems to the medical space, it’s just that there aren’t normal pressures forcing them to handle it.

Apple charges $79 for an insurance claim to replace my iPhone whether it costs them $1 or $1000 to correct. Imagine if they had an asterisk that sometimes it cost lots more than $79.

Someone else linked to the Surgery Center of OK [0] that has “solved” this problem. There’s a great episode of econtalk with Keith Smith [1] where they talk about this. Including examples almost exactly like how you call out.

No. In the heyday of mainframes people would remote in, with a terminal. That's where the terminal protocols many people still use on a daily basis actually come from. Sending text over the wire to display on your terminal screen, you type into a keyboard which transmits your input across the wire to the mainframe which responds with new screen updates.

Using your desktop remotely from a cheaper but more portable device is pretty much the same model (not the same thing, but model) as the way many people interacted with mainframes last century.
Heck in addition to my keyboard I've been thinking of building a board with a bunch of buttons just for firing off random things.

API requests when testing and so forth ... for whatever reason a separate set of physical keys makes more sense in my head.
