- Are you a merchant selling digital goods online and you want a zero-risk chance of dealing with chargebacks? You can accept stabletokens. No credit card fees as well.

- Are you hodling a good amount of BTC/ETH/BAT tokens but you would like to get some liquidity, perhaps for a large purchase? Put your crypto as collateralized loan on MakerDAO, get DAI with very low interest and spend that: bonus point, if the crypto you were holding loses value and your loan gets liquidated, you get a tax write-off.

- Do you live in some third-world country with poor countries and strong capital controls (e.g, Argentina)? It is a lot easier to buy crypto-pegged to the USD and EUR than it is to buy actual dollars and euros.
2-3 years is leasing territory (which some people do because they enjoy changing vehicles often.)

Car safety is much much better now than they were 5+ years ago however so it is not unreasonable for someone to change cars that often. I'd certainly not want to be in a 10yr old car in a highway accident if I could help it.

(Also, some newer cars are just nicer to drive with creature comforts people care about)
Collaborate and Elevate Member Anthony Reynolds Raises $1M for Refill
Sony and Microsoft consoles are running x86 hardware so demand is certainly not just driven by COVID-19, people would want those machines regardless. There is no current consumer option to pair an ARM processor with a high end graphic card. I don't know what the future holds but it's pretty obvious why people want x86 at the moment.
i'm a happy borg backup user, but this looks really promising. thanks for sharing. have the developers made any commitments to storage format stability?

Democrats Begin to Doubt Biden's Election as Majority of Voters Support Audits
Oh really? What do you all think?
That’s not what I meant.

I see a lot of ICE drivers giving an EV driver a ride to the charger. For example, husband wife couples.

If they had two EVs in their (multi person, ok?) household, then the ICE driving person would not have to spend their time being a chauffeur, because the EV driver could just drive the second EV to the charger and leave it there charging.
> Second, there is a fear that employees are goofing off. I've found I generally work harder remote, to ensure I am visibly being productive. The belief in many managers though is that if you're not 'butt in seat' at the office then they can't look over what you are doing.

It's easy, just look at the pull requests!

If your manager can't look at a PR and figure out what's going on, that's a red flag.

If goofing off is a big concern, you are hiring wrong.
Are we claiming there are zero downsides to synthetic inertia when compared with its real counterparts?
Of course not. They're hoping that a noise will some day coincide with a crime so then they can write a press release lauding the technology and the smart decision maker for buying it.
These are the 10nm and 7nm processes. They're just retconning the names. 10nm+ is Intel 7, 7nm is now Intel 4, 7nm+ is Intel 3, 5nm is Intel 20A.
APSE – A Personal Search Engine
You have to start somewhere. They started somewhere. It worked.
No real alternative currently, as I see it. The main ones track the hell out of you, dark pattern galore, Pine and the other Linux phones are simply not 1.0 yet, and I count AOSP derivatives as aftermarket solutions, because they don't have the engineering power to continue developing the fork, either the AOSP or the hardware, should it come to that. There isn't really a best choice.

I personally opted for an older Samsung flagship, LineageOS without G services, and my own cloud at home. And I'm not counting on this being sustainable to be honest. I might go more Stallman later, buy dumber devices with lots of tradeoffs or just give in to the zeitgeist, and buy the shiniest tracking chip.

Edit: Kudos for getting the Pine - putting the money where the mouth is something that has at least the potential to change.
Sounds like expanding this into a blog post would be helpful
That's a weird way to word it. Did they confirm the dad part as well?
Totally not going to be confusing to buy an "Intel 3" i7 or an "Intel 7" i3. :D. I'm a little sad they went "Intel 4" instead of "Intel 5" though.
Yes. I have a lot of problems with the assertion ab ove you. It takes carbon to produce a ICE car too
With the world so utterly unprepared, I find it raising people on too high a pedestal. Don't let it become a weapon for those who are insincere.
> Many promising atmospheric carbon capture technologies exist

Do we have any at that scale? I mean self-driving cars were a promising technology a decade ago and that's a much easier problem to solve than large scale ccs and we still might never see that.
Lots of other countries do this as well, outside of the Caribbean.

On the one hand, x86 is (eventually) going the way of the dodo for some of the biggest datacenter customers, which is a large part of the reason that Intel has once again opened itself up to the prospect of foundry.

On the other hand, x86 is so ubiquitous for PC that it would take a sea change for Apple Silicon to take over. Users and businesses are entrenched and this isn't the first time that Apple has run a different architecture from the rest of the PC crowd. I, for one, prefer my x86 MBP to the newfangled M1 because of RAM, compatibility, external display support, and number of ports. These limitations are all a function of implementation, not inherent to Apple Silicon, but they influence my preferences nonetheless.

COVID-19 has changed the way that work is balanced against everything else in our lives, and I view its impact on the chip market as demand creation rather than a demand spike. We will never go back 100% to the way that things were prior to the pandemic; big shocks all have that in common. The hybrid model of work from home as a complement to office work means that people/companies will need to buy and maintain more hardware.

I share your hope that this doesn't turn out the way the delayed nodes did. Intel's 10nm and 7nm setbacks started in the Krzanich days during the doldrums of the PC glut. People were mobile, phone innovations were booming, and no substantial PC advancements came to the fore during that time. I think we can give Intel some benefit of the doubt and assume that they aren't dumb enough to repeat the error of announcing a road map for which there is no road map...especially because the tick-tock model is already a thing of the past and exerts no expectations nowadays.
Angstrom's? I think the connection to actual feature sizes is long gone, and not sure intel 3nm is really comparable with TSMC? Anyone have a process comparison?

Also, key issue - ignore the roadmap and just start shipping you 10 and 7nm process stuff.

Seriously, every time I read about a TSMC process it seems to already be in risk production. Then in the next year all of a sudden Apple and friends are releasing nice product. The hamster wheel here with apple funding huge $$ into TSMC must be amazing as well.

With intel we've been hearing about 7nm forever, how the intel chips are going to crush (2x performance etc) AMD chips. But they never ship these things.
I have not. If there's a market for it, I'd do it, but I would guess there isn't.

Might be a cool experiment to try for a map. If nothing else, it sounds fun.
Powering a Go Kart with a Used Car Alternator [video]
Super fun; I used to do this and make gifts for friends and family. If done well, on acid free paper, and kept out of bright sunlight, they can be relatively archival.

The linked article shows making cyanotype from outline if flowers, but far more fun IMO is digital negatives. There is a link to this at the bottom of the article, but I’ll share something I found that helps tremendously that wasn’t mentioned AFAICT.

When printing your digital negative, in addition to inverting your greyscale /B&W photo, you’ll want to adjust the curve, because the cyanotype will expose nonlinearly.

The best way to find the curve given your chemistry, photo, sunlight/latitude, etc. is empirically.

So, I recommend in photoshop/GIMP/whatever to generate a series of greyscale bars from #000000 to #FFFFFF, with perhaps a dozen or more steps. Put this alongside your image, then invert, and make a test print. You can then observe the nonlinear development of color and adjust the curve (remember, inverted) to apply to your final image for printing.

Probably I can think of more but this is already kind of lengthy on mobile :)
I choose to work for small companies/startups. Preferably around 10-15 people.

As small companies tend to grow, the trick is to get out in time. At a previous job the company grew to over 150 and that wasn’t healthy for me. I should have bailed at around 75.
The video where they analyze tricky positions on their own and then compare notes is pretty illuminating. Hikaru's thought process is just different from an IM.

You are using the Origin Fallacy also known as the Genetic Fallacy as an argument[0]. This is not a valid argument. Stating that the information was curated by conservatives does not make it true or false.

The claims in the database are researched and vetted. You can view each claim and the research applied to it.

If I were to use the Origin Fallacy I could claim that media in general is untrustworthy because it is curated by liberals claiming liberal ideals [1].

Also, you only get to drop the mic when you are a rockstar or Obama. [2]

To put it another way, people charging EVs tend to look out for each other and help each other. At Tesla chargers, since they have multiple plugs in one spot, there are often other friendly people there charging so you feel safer and more secure. So even without security guards it is a good setup for leaving your car or for being there in a strange parking lot.
Yeah, I don't blame them that much when tech news always had to be "TSMC 5nm.. essentially equivalent to Intel 7nm" when talking nodes. The numbers have been made up for a while (even on the Intel side).

Some of those numbers are very curious though. Intel has historically had an issue with managers gaming bonus structures and some of this reeks of that too. "We're totally shipping Intel 7 this year (because it's what was 10nm+)"
I don't think the countries of the ex-USSR are what anyone is talking about when they're talking about socialized medicine.
The sobering answer is that fuel cells also need a lot of problematic minerals too for catalysts. The most widely used H2 fuel cell catalyst is PtCo - so you still have the same cobalt problem there too.
They need to make that the homepage, atleast temporarily!
okay, so you're arguing internal to farming. But then it's obviously being planted in huge numbers in modern times because it's a high-yield crop economically. Why else would farmers be planting it? Are you arguing that farmers are currently doing something that's against their economic best interests?

I agree there are a number of interesting packages in this space (Metatheory is another).

What I'd like to see more of is things like arrows, higher-kinded data types, etc, that work better with support from the language's type system, and things like parametrized modules and contracts, that just need someone with the right background to show Julia how to do it well.
Honestly, if I were to make an Android competitor, I'd try my best to compete by obviously using Linux but also including a solid package manager based on Debians, or snap and including buyable packages and a simple process for others to put their apps on said package manager / store. Maybe it can be a separate app that is optional. I'd also ensure full support for Progressive Web Apps.
In terms of workload, there is a huge difference between monitoring a system as opposed to hyper-focus and constant micro-adjustments for hours on end. The car stays in the lane as if on rails, passes other cars and takes exits. It also stops at traffic lights off highway and then continues as it turns green (if following a lead car).

I know what I paid for. And I am getting my money's worth given how much it has kept improving. The new FSD Beta looks even more promising. It's swiftly reaching the point where it is a question of liability and regulatory approval.

It's simpler and more common than that.

- Most people don't have significant savings. Even in IT.

- Many people have dependents to support.

- Quitting a job and finding a new one is a big hassle.

- Your chances at finding a comparable job to your previous one are strongly correlated with your performance at your past jobs.

Combined, this means almost no one can just quit, without putting themselves into immediate, moderate-to-high threat to the lives of themselves and their families.

Intel 3 is what used to be called Intel 7nm+, which is more or less equivalent to newer batches of TSMC N5.

The answer is also because hydrogen is insanely light. A propane molecule is much bigger in size than a H2 molecule - which makes hydrogen storage and handling uniquely difficult

> Revise.jl inside the REPL is annoying as hell to use when you start messing with structs.

> And Revise.jl kind of proves the fact that incremental compilation is entirely possible. If it wasn't possible at all due to $maximum_dynamic_insanity that wouldn't even work.

I agree it's disengenuous to say that Revise is the answer to all problems when struct redefinition is still not possible. Yes you can toss them in a module, but then why allow defining them in global scope at all? Thus far I haven't seen any theoretical limitations either, since Common Lisp variants seem to be able to do something similar.

That said, I would not look at most other dynamic languages for this. Having a mandatory VM is an express non-goal in Julia, and if you want one then you'll have to face off against all the other people asking for better static compilation. Again, compiled lisps show us that a VM isn't even necessary to get this level of dynamism or low latency incremental compilation.

The claim around having to recompile the entire world has already been addressed in a sibling thread, so I'll not rehash it here.
I heard something about updates for the new M1 Macs requiring users to download the entire updated image due to some signing issue? Maybe something similar is happening here.

I suspect that you may need to actively request these as an accommodation, and I suspect a lot of these restrictions go out the window then. [1] says "When an applicant asks for an accommodation for the job interview, the employer can require medical documentation."

That also means that depending on how this is implemented, people who aren't aware of it, too shy, undiagnosed, or don't want their diagnosis on the record everywhere may not benefit from this at all. OTOH, some of the training may improve the situation in general, even when no accommodation has been requested.

SumatraPDF is an excellent, small and fast desktop app for Windows. (All the things that Adobe Acrobat Reader is not.)

This is an excellent article full of interesting insights - some of them contrary to popular opinions among programmers e.g. Cross-platform is over-rated...an excellent app for one platform can become more popular than a mediocre app for 3 platforms.

SumatraPDF is example of a fast, native desktop app - but are desktop apps like this a dying breed? If there is a future for desktop apps, it looks increasingly to be based on Electron. A technology that is arguably not nimble, light or performant. Another lesson from the SumatraPDF developer Krzysztof Kowalczyk: Small and fast - pick both...there will never be a time when users want bloated and slow apps, so being small and fast is a permanent advantage.
If architecture doesn't matter, why on earth would you think x86 is a negative. The most ARM can ever hope for is that people don't care or notice it's ARM.

>That's life in general. Even at my company when choosing photos of people to profile to for recruitment posts on LinkedIn, it's pretty clear they lean towards attractive people.

No, you didn't.

HTTP status codes are not legally binding. EULAs are.

Saying "if the status code isn't 401 then I'm authorized" is like saying "if the door opens, I'm allowed to enter". "Able to" and "allowed to" are not the same thing, especially when you were only "able" because you ignored DO NOT ENTER signs and picked locks.

The fact that you managed to defeat or bypass security measures intended to block you doesn't magically make your behavior legal.

Yeah - they "arrested" the vessel I was on once until someone's medical bill was settled up (not mine). Certainly worked, company involved wired money promptly.

The other thing - you can be turned away for lack of payment more easily (or just not get great care) in other countries. In the US you can do a $10M bill on critical care at a hospital without paying anything - that just doesn't happen in some other countries in most cases - they don't have the $10M lying around etc or have more competing needs so you just can't stay on full support for years the way you might in US.
> I'm still left wondering why most people would want / need x86 when Apple's M1 chips clearly demonstrate that ARM-based solutions are not just sufficient, but potentially superior.

Simple, I use Linux and MacOS cannot run the software that I need to use on a daily basis. The most powerful Apple Silicon you can buy right now still can't quite beat my 2014 beater-PC in raw performance, which also doesn't exactly instill confidence in it.
How is this tough?!

The system detected a loud noise as fireworks... that should be the end of it!

Let the cards fall where they may, if cops go out they go out, they go out, otherwise that's that.

You don't get to go back days later and reclassify it as a gunshot based on ambiguity inherent to your product, and you don't get to go back and move the origin.

This is not tough at all, it literally should work exactly like it works today, and no one is allowed to change the initial call manually.

After all, who is helped by retroactively marking it as a gunshot but a DA?

If the concern is building up statistics or something, ShotSpotter is still recording that it heard a sound. Nothing is stopping an out of band note that says "we believe this recording was tied to so and so incident at so and so location"

The key difference though is that ShotSpotter is no long claiming to have recorded that incident directly. Which matters when people's freedom is at stake.
