But to sell under 1000 with Microsoft’s name attached? It still seems crazy to me. But I suppose you’re right I wound up going with an Android phone myself that year.
> The Earth is the edge case

You do not know that. All available evidence points to the opposite: We have no knowledge, not even a hint, of any other physical process that could sustain life than that of Earth's carbon-based chemistry.

The idea that life could take a myriad of different forms is beautiful, but it is pure fantasy, based on no evidence at all.
Other sources seem to be reporting 6.4" and 6.7" diagonal screens. So I guess even the smaller Pixel is now as large as the iPhone Max?

Guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for a surge of small phones spurred by the iPhone 12 Mini. Which is a real shame, since I'm way overdue for an upgrade but 99% of phones are way too large.
> This is how Barcelona played some of the most beautiful football of all time.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say having way more money than almost all of your opponents had something to do with it too. Oh, and having Messi might have been of some importance as well.

I'd like to see some data that shows I'm wrong, but I haven't seen anything to suggest it's helpful to possess the ball at midfield. If anything, you open yourself to easy counterattacks. Possessing the ball in front of the other team's goalie is a different story, but of course that is many times harder to do.
> I've got a Nikon 200-500mm lens, which while on the long side of lenses most people have, isn't especially hard to get...

True. All you need to do is go online with a credit card. The thing is, that's a $1400 lens new that still sells for over $1000 used in decent condition. That's a pretty decent chunk of change. ;)
the main reason IPsec is more complex is because it has more features, like multiple CHILD_SA under same tunnel each with different transform and traffic selectors, and also much more authentication choices
Power, that's why China is smashing it's tech industry. In the US the industry, as a whole, has a massive influence on politics, culture and society. In China that is a non starter for the government. It is about maintaining power and nothing else.
I realized these things must be heavily invested in and/or making a ton of money if they can afford so many Olympic ad spots. I hope it's investment money that's being pissed away on ad spots, but my fear is that these kinds of apps are very successful and really raking it in.
Smartphones or not, being very late for planned meetups definitely hasn't changed as a concept.
It isn't and it really calls into question the rigor of the author, and also gives you a laugh about the hackernews crowd as well. Dollar General is _not_ a dollar store, its a general store where prices are not tied to "a dollar".

Though "dollar stores" have items that are not always only $1, the bulk of their inventory is keyed in on that price point, Dollar General has no such paradigm.

To me, it would seem that this kind of software trips over all kinds of European laws and directives. Hell, it probably trips over all kinds of wiretap laws in the US.

Is it that nobody is filing these or just that the revelations are too new and that the lawyers are just beginning to spin up?
Looks like we could use a "hint" ;-)
Not at any of their data centers...the folks working in critical environments (electricians, mechanics, water chemistry SMEs, fire alarm testers, elevator inspectors, etc.) are not for the vaccine...
Yeah, around here Target seems to be easiest. They don't care if you use the scale at all. You can just scan and put into a bag someone with you is holding, or whatever, it never needs to touch the scale. Each self-checkout does have a little security screen above it through that's about 4"x6" that shows you and says you're being recorded, so my guess is that it along with the fact most people are paying with credit makes purposeful fraud fairly low, or at least low enough to be worth while.

And because you only have a few rare childhood photos I expect you value them highly. The next generation, who will inherit thousands of photos of themselves and their lives, will feel no rarity or shortage, and probably won’t value them as much.
> Free markets allow us to express our values at an individual level rather than having an authority deciding what to value.

This is not correct. The authority is there, it's just less visible.

Market forces are extremely unequal: a small percentage of humanity, e.g. 0.1% influence 90% of the value of the housing market in all popular cities in developed countries.
I might forward it to a friend to ask if that's the girl he dated last week, without meaning to give him passwordless access to my account.
Also have some a few pair of Redwings Heritage boots. First real-leather shoes I bought were some Iron Rangers. I wore them as my main shoes for the first year I had them, nearly every day. Wore the absolute hell out of them. They still come out many times a year, and I treat them as work boots, so they get things dropped on them, I sit on the floor and crush them side-down for long stretches, et c. I also wore them up a couple mountain trails in the Appalachians maybe three years back, one a pretty damn long and high-elevation-change trail (do not do this, they are heavy as fuck compared to any modern hiking boot or, especially, shoe, it was a very bad idea) which beat them up plenty.

"Camp mocs", chukkas, and loafers have replaced them for everyday wear, for me, but that first pair of IRs still see some of my hardest-wearing days, probably 20-30 days a year.

Given the rate of wear for the ~2 years when I wore them very heavily, I'd say I could have gotten 5-8 years without babying them a bit (with a re-soling around year 4, probably). With my current usage pattern I expect they'll last about 20, with a re-soling at some point. If a person used shitty work boots for the really rough days to avoid abusing the expensive boots, and maybe kept some purpose-specific shoes for things like snow, heavy rainy weather (duck boots in both cases, perhaps), or hiking (god, just get a modern hiking shoe or boot, leather shoes are so heavy), 10 years of ~50%-of-days wear is very possible out of that boot style, I'd say. That may even be on the low side.
But that page says things like "[when] no judgment is needed to decide which names and addresses should be included". Surely somebody decided what are the things for a classifier to look for, and that would be a creative decision?
Is it just me, or does the California Nebula not really look at all like the outline of California?
Perhaps it evolved on a planet with an Earth-like, but much harsher, environment.

To draw an analogy from fiction, what would happen if one sent Giger's Alien in all its glory, razor tail and all, to compete in an entry-level boxing match? The Alien has no rules, has acid for blood, tongue-crushes the skull of the referee, and so on.
ok well I do. mint is the easiest example. maybe get some money first and you’ll understand too.
It seems like there's an interesting bias in the test methodology.

If you are a person who prefers simple, common or short words, the test is much harder because short words tend to have many distinct meanings.

When you cross correlate a lot of short words there will inevitably be semantic overlap.

Longer, more specialised words have greater semantic distance.

Therefore not clear whether this measures creativity or propensity to use longer / less common words. This will tend to correlate with "years of formal education".

It would be interesting to see if this is measuring anything different than a vocabulary test + the ability to understand the instructions.

One option to balance this out would be to "weight" words by their frequency to reflect that finding disjoint common words is harder.
When this all started, there was a blase attitude towards obese people being at higher risk for severe cases from a lot of people. There was a lot of argument about whether being obese was a "choice", worth ignoring the class of people as it being "their own fault".

Now, whatever you think about the obesity issue, I think we can definitely agree that there is no way 40% of the US adult population have some kind of complications preventing then from getting vaccinated. For the vast majority of people, not getting vaccinated is definitely a choice they made, and one that can easily be corrected.

And let's be real, here. We all know who these people are. They're the same people who bitched about wearing masks and not being able to go get a haircut at their immediate convenience. They voted for Trump and they stormed the capital, then tried to call it a tourist visit.

So no, I really don't have a lot of empathy for them, considering how little was afforded to me and my family.

2 people in the placebo group died with a covid infection and 1 in the vaccinated group. That is way to little data to even remotely make such a bold claim.

Or, if I follow your flawed logic, Covid vaccines reduce mortality by 50%!
yes because the matches were all-over europe so same people who were in a packed pub a few days earlier were now on a plane to some other european country to watch the next match.

further, the borders remained open so people mixed at home and then went on holiday/visited family etc. UK is a major international transport hub and also has a large population of Indian descent so we likely "imported" delta from India relatively early as a result and then likely helped seed it in other western nations.

They should have put India on the red list several weeks earlier than they did when it was obvious for anyone to see what was going on, but they delayed for unknown reasons

Lucky for us supermarket chains, food companies, and agribusiness, are very transparent when it comes to their costs and profit, so this is easy to verify. /s
This is the definition of value I am familiar with--whatever the buyer will pay.

This is an entirely voluntary option. Someone like patio11 advocates it all the time. (It was partly inspired by his writings.) It was supposed to address the arbitrage that the middlemen take when they rent out your skills to effect real change, while they stick you in a “steady” paycheck situation and give you bundled health insurance.

You want to be underpaid in a full time job and pretend to work 8 hours a day, while your time is billed out at 3x by a consulting company? Have at it. Or you can think about how much value you are bringing to the business and get a cut of that value. No one at Qbix is FORCED to accept such an arrangement. However, people have chosen to do it voluntarily, and it is a way to be properly compensated fairly for just how much you helped grow the software company’s bottom line.

Imagine, as a developer or designer, coming across a SaaS company whose product you are very familiar with, that openly publishes its metrics. They honestly reveal that some metrics could use improvement, and you have a great idea for how to do it. You get in touch and – instead of hiring you to for some full-time position doing mostly drudge work inside the company – they agree to pay you for your contribution, if it works out. $1,000,000 / year x (C–1) for every factor C that you improve a certain KPI metric.

PS: Those aren’t buttons, they are menus, you’re supposed to use the dropdown.
Recently (in the last year or so), the platform ABI for x86-64 has been augmented with 4 levels of variants: base x86-64 (i.e., up to SSE2), and then assume up to SSE4.2, assume up to AVX2, and then a base AVX-512 level. (Not mentioned in each of these levels is the random other instructions, such as BMI/BMI2 that get sprinkled throughout.)
I believe this also requires that OKCupid has not set the 'SameSite=lax' attribute on their cookies, which is good practice as well; the browser won't send the user's cookies on cross-origin POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE requests when this attribute is set.

So this exploit is really the confluence of failing to follow 2 standard security practices, as well as another unfortunate configuration quirk:

- Failing to set SameSite=lax on their session cookie attribute
- Not using a CSRF token to authenticate on unsafe HTTP actions
- Not checking the content-type of API requests (though I'm not sure to what extent this is considered bad practice)

Actually maybe I take that back. I mean, it took how many centuries for humans to invent calculus? Maybe AIs left to their own devices in a reinforcement-learning context could do better.

The interesting thing though, is given free reign to prove whatever they want, they may go off and develop some entirely new field of mathematics and proving really deep stuff, but we just wouldn't recognize it as interesting. Like imagine if such an AI existed 200 years ago and invented Turing machines and proved P != NP, but it wasn't all that great at solving polynomials for whatever reason. We'd have probably thought it was all rubbish and threw it away.
Interestingly, despite not having large, obvious, centralized manufacturing hubs, the US is not far behind China in overall manufacturing output, despite putting far less effort into it.

https://www.brookings.edu/research/global-manufacturing-scor...

US is at 18% of global manufacturing vs China's 20%, but the US only gets 12% of it's overall GDP from manufacturing compared to China's 27%, and with about half the percentage of it's workforce (with a much smaller workforce).
I always wondered, what if there is "life" that exists going backwards in time? Like, consider our laws of physics, except entropy is decreasing. Imagine a "life form" which interacts with the world, grows, replicates, and evolves backwards in time. So to us, it would seem to start out as a massive colony, then shrink and devolve. To them, we would seem the same.

How would you even detect them? Communicate with them? You can't just send a message, because they would instantaneously "forget" it (since they process information backwards), and vice versa. I doubt we could consider them "alive" at all.

Also, their laws of physics would be so different. Imagine shards of glass, at rest on our world, suddenly start joining together into a glass bottle. That's what life looks like to them.

Yet everything else is the same. They live in the same, the same laws of physics. They could even exist on our planet. Except we exist in a state of increasing entropy, and they exist in a state of decreasing entropy.
This is an exposition on Dunning Kruger. What is it going to be, herd immunity or surges? Can't be both.
I actually prefer for devs to target Wine/Proton compatibility instead of providing native builds.

Native games can break over time. I have lots of older proprietary Linux games that aren't super straightforward to get running on modern Linux distros, usually because they rely on libraries that aren't included by default anymore (and sometimes not even maintained). The Steam runtime smooths this over a bit, but I still run into native games from only 4 or 5 years ago that are now broken out of the box.

Proton has the benefit of being a "framework" that isn't likely to be abandoned anytime soon. It is essentially a re-implementation of a platform whose primary selling point is long-term backwards compatibility and API stability. It abstracts (or outright eliminates) most of the variability between Linux distros.

Plus, games running in it can run mods that rely on DLL injection.

Median age was 51, so seems like there would have been at least a decently sized cohort over 55 (although I don't have to actual data to confirm).

But anyways, my original point was that the journalist is being dishonest by claiming that vaccination among the elderly is the reason mortality should drop by 90% compared to prior waves. This RCT certainly doesn't provide any evidence to support that statement, and it is the largest study of its kind so the only conclusion I can make is that the journalist is just projecting without facts.
> Maybe with billions in funding Emacs could start competing with the Chromium/Electron/VSCode teams. But that's not gonna happen

We've seen that many times. With proprietary and free editors and IDEs. Eclipse, Delphi, NetBeans, Sublime, Atom, XCode, MonoDevelop, InteliJ, Visual Studio, VSCode, etc.

Many times in history there were "Emacs and Vim killers", and yet after over 45 years, Emacs is still here and Vim keeps improving. I can bet that 20 years from now and without billions spent on funding, Emacs still would do some things better than any of existing IDEs.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burd...

CDC estimated that 1/4 covid infections had an associated positive test. I did the same kind of napkin math you're referring too for Floridia a few months back and they'd could have been at 80% of the population with some level of immunity.

But napkin math probably isn't a good way to run a pandemic response. Just like herd immunity doesn't really matter at an individual level.

So don't let clients react on information until 8ms after they get it? If it's a game where you can't do that, collect probabilistic evidence on players until you have a lot of evidence that a player is cheating, and add them to the “we'll ban later, but let's mitigate the damage for now” list.

Cheating players are statistically distinguishable from really good non-cheating players most of the time – and when they're not, we're at the level of cheating where it's unlikely your anti-cheat will help, because they'd just fork out the €50 for cheating hardware.
Historically we had public access to the cable network as a part of the cable act of 1984 - in the 80's and 90's there was a concept of PEG - Public, Educational, and Governmental TV channels that the Cable company had to carry as a part of being able to put lines in the ground.

The distribution side of this was made mostly irrelevant by on-demand services like YouTube - where it still exists it's mostly videography training, or making other local content, with a few channels still playing tapes.
I also read a partial rebuttal which amounted to "Rich people pay less because they can buy more durable boots, but they also pay more because they buy fancier boots, and the increased expense from buying fancier boots is more than the savings from the boots lasting longer."

There's also the question of why the poor person doesn't take out a loan to buy the more expensive boots, and pay off the loan with the money that he saves from not having to continually buy pairs of cheaper boots. Many poor people still have credit cards, and even the ones who don't can often trade favors or get loans from relatives.

And even the response "they should save up for the boots" isn't obviously wrong. For obvious reasons it's hard for poor people to save, but how often is it so hard that something like this isn't possible?
What part of the 5 year plan outlined the strategy behind why the CCP went after DIDI? I'm genuinely curious and it might be more useful to link to the relevant parts. Some people might actually be interested in reading those and better understanding this.
Again, IANAL, but a decision whether to add a domain or email address to one of these lists is not a creative decision, it's a mechanical boolean decision. It's a matter of fact, not of creativity or subjective inclusion. The regex pattern they used might be an example of a creative work, but the list of matches is probably not.

In the same sense, recipes are not copyrightable. The thought that goes into composing them may be creative, but the list of ingredients itself is not subject to copyright.

"You are being pedantic developer fixated on numbers as a measure of value across the group. The world does not work this way."

Then how does it work? It seems that senior devs should make the same as junior devs if the numbers aren't tied to value.

"The business makes a decision based on what it takes to get what they need and salary can easily vary based on social aspects afterward. The number tells you something, but not everything."

On an individual level that might be true, but that doesn't address it at the aggregate level.
