The Epoch Times is a far-right newspaper and media company affiliated with the Falun Gong new religious movement. It promotes far-right politicians in Europe, and has backed President Donald Trump in the U.S. A 2019 report by NBC News showed it to be the second-largest funder of pro-Trump Facebook advertising after the Trump campaign. The Epoch Media Group's news sites and YouTube channels have spread conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccine misinformation. In 2020, the New York Times called it a "global-scale misinformation machine".

Having to charge for 40 minutes during a 6 hour trip is a non-issue in my opinion. During a 6 hour trip one has to eat at least one lunch/dinner which should account for 40 minutes. And likely an additional stop at a rest room or leg stretcher for 10 minutes somewhere else.

Electrical charging stations will be everywhere, very soon ,very fast. All restaurants, gas stations and kiosks will have plenty. To attract customers and to earn an extra buck. It's very cheap to install compared to tanks and pumps for flammable and hazardous liquid fuels.

If the world is full of goblins and demons you don't become a demon to "prepare them". You are their rock for as long as you're around, and when you're gone they'll be the rock for their children or other friends and family.
The public schools would say their role is to prepare the future rulers of the country. And my school produced two former Chancellors of the Exchequer so I guess that makes sense.

Mine wasn’t a boarding school though which probably counts for something.
Hacker culture and cracker culture go hand in hand, and it has been that way since the very beginning of it all. Hacker culture primarily evolved from phreaking culture, which was reverse engineering and security bypassing...cracking, essentially. And for personal gain, no less. Nearly all of the famous hackers have histories of legally questionable actions.

And it should be that way. If you want any chance of knowing how to build good things, you need to know how to break them. That's as true for a bridge engineer as it is for Woz.

Personally, I find the attempt to distinguish between hacker and cracker to be some sort of no-true-scotsman retcon. I've always viewed the whole concept of hacker culture to be amoral...and the attempt to distinguish between "good" or "bad" hackers has just watered down the term.

IMO the most important thing to make air conditioners more efficient is to design, build and modify buildings in such a way they do the heavy lifting passively. This means also we need to avoid building idiotic things like sun-facing glas fronts etc.

We have to stop pretending we are going to save the day by making AC units (or any other thermal machine) a few percentage points more efficient — because this is peanuts and nowhere near the amount of efficiency needed to grant humanities survival on earth. The best AC unit is the one that you don't need.

In particular, double-entry bookkeeping (standard practice for centuries) uses the accounting equation [1] as a checksum. If the two sides of the equation are ever unequal, then there's been a mistake somewhere that needs to be corrected.

If you add the same value to a large asset account and a small liability account, for example, you can run into problems: The internal rounding performed by floating point arithmetic can mean that the increase to each side of the equation is slightly different, throwing the system out of balance.

There has been some controversy of NCMEC. Specifically, they claim to a private organization, not subject to any of the constraints that public actors have (4th amendment).

In a case decided by future SCOTUS justice Gorsuch, it was decided NCMEC is “public agent.” That is, an agent of the government.

That’s because is possess immunity from prosecution for possession of CSAM.

When an electronic communication is referred to NCMEC, after, say, being identified by a hash, a NCMEC analyst reviews it. NCMEC claimed this wasn’t a search, because it’s not part of the government and the communication was sent by a non government agent.

The 10th Circuit politely said “bullsh*t.”

NCMEC analysts are shielded from laws against viewing CSAM. That’s a privilege granted by the state to assist law enforcement. Therefore, when NCMEC analysts view CSAM, they are government actors.

It’s a very interesting case, least of all because Gorsuch is an amazing writer. But it makes NCMEC look extremely disengenous, and the governments sponsorship like a way to slide around its obligations.

I’m not saying NCMEC is a bad organization. I’m just saying that there is controversy.

And NCMEC isn’t merely a private organization. It’s a private organization that has been delegated state powers to assist the state in performing state functions.

Conductor can be used to describe more energy types than electricity. In this case they were referring to heat energy.

This would be important as if you moved the energy from the hot pavement to a cold source you're cooling the small part where you're taking heat from. As pavement is a poor heat conductor all the energy in the surrounding mass of pavement would flow only very slowly to the patch you were using. This would severly limit your ability to move heat and therefore generate electricity.

This is also why using the ground as the cold sink isn't a great idea. Once you have moved the heat energy to the ground it sits there only slowly moving away. This is why the ground is noticeably cooler just a foot beneath the hot pavement. Once your cold source is warm, the ability to move heat is again limited.

Air is also a bad conductor of heat, but as it's a gas it can move. So once you heat up some cool air it will become less dense and move away. This is convection.
My partner's mom's, age 96, was needing a new phone, so we got the latest "feature" phone from Lively (company formerly known as Jitterbug). On the new phone, the minimum number of keypresses to make a call to anyone in her phonebook was about 8. The minimum on the prior phone (which I know only by Jitterbug) was 2. Although she was an early adopter of word processing and email many years ago, she couldn't track what was going on with this new phone enough to use it. We found a direct replacement of the prior phone and have moved her back to that.

Same. And in her case, she can manage far less attention than she used to. Tech companies don't accommodate for that.

I have been using Elm for a kinda-simple project on my work: dashboard for microservices, deployment configs, nodes, etc.

Cuz the error looks like this:

I know of no way of even looking into that `[object Object]`. Simply logging its fields would already be a relief, lest telling what field/type caused the error.

Sure they could. But someone still need to design the chips and take them from silicon to a packaged chip. They obviously do that to a limited degree, but a test run to see if everything is within spec is very different to producing actual usable finished chips. Or at least they don't have to go the full on complex state of the art chip design just for testing.

Surely a venue such as this, with its careful moderation and strong commitment to civil discourse, would (should) be very tolerant of such content. The only risk to posting such material is the poster should expect a lot of well-researched and thoughtful opposition.

Personally I believe (but rarely practice, because I’m lazy) that reading content from sources you disagree with is useful. Occasionally you’ll spot that you agree with your “enemy”. That’s the gateway to reconciliation, tolerance. We all gotta live here.

I don't believe that. I've seen it myself when a store will restripe their lot to squeeze more parking in. I never had to grease the sides of the car to park it in the 70's.
>>Housing is needed - more houses are built. Not sure why that can't be the case.

Because every unit increase in a circle's radius r, causes the area to go up by r*r. These ever increasing concentric circles, cause infrastructure demands and spending to keep going up by factors of square.

Every unit increase in a Pizza's radius demands more and more cheese. To a point you will realize you get more Pizza when you order a very large Pizza than ordering 2 small Pizza's.

At some point you get two cities for Cheap than expanding an existing one.

You're correct that Rust's compiler can't guarantee semantics. However because the programmer has to actually implement Rust traits, they can and they should.

That option isn't available to C++ because of how concepts work. PartialEq and Eq wouldn't be different concepts in any practical sense, they would just be a funny way to write a comment, but in Rust they are different traits because even though Eq doesn't add any syntax it does add semantics.

There is one further trick I wasn't going to mention but you've sort of brought it up. Rust's unsafe is partly about taking responsibility for the safe and correct operation of your code. That's a pretty alien thought in C++ although I argue it shouldn't have been, it's clearly too late now. As a result Rust has the idea of unsafe traits. If you get PartialEq wrong, the programmer using your type curses and probably discards it as hopelessly broken, but their program mustn't have Undefined Behaviour as a result by Rust's definition.

However if you implement an unsafe trait like Send wrong, maybe the program now has Undefined Behaviour, as a result (signalled by the unsafe keyword you'll need to use to implement it) you are responsible for making sure your implementation is in fact semantically correct.

This distinction wouldn't mean anything in C++ where not only are your implementations of concepts never required to obey the semantics, but the language doesn't even allow you express that your implementation doesn't obey the semantics, the fact it's a syntactic match means it gets recruited by the concept and too bad.
How many markets can Google enter and trivially kill?

I'm a fan of patent trolls being defeated, but Sonos is not a troll. They're being pushed and cajoled by the famgopolies. Both Apple and Google cloned their product, then Google started to shutter access to Google Play Music / YouTube Music.

There won't be any new foundries though. Moore's law would grind to a halt (moreso than it already has).
The reason ASML is one of the few successful tech companies in Holland is because this type of engineering is so far distanced from consumer products. As soon as consumers come into play it triggers our HR departments to introduce a whole slew of non-engineering positions who pretty much tend to find power and kill/stifle technical innovation.

It's the reason Phillips (and many other great Dutch companies) has become an innovative shadow of what it used to be.

The US seems to have a better understanding how great engineering happens when talented engineers are running the show.

> An argument of "Think of the children" generally means restricting something from dissemination, discussion, or presentation because it's availability or the process by which it is made available would be a negative children as they aren't fully grown and responsible adults. Restricting porn, or discussion or drugs or sexuality, or child porn laws all fit this. It does not literally mean doing anything positive because it will benefit a child.
