Hmm... is the right mental model then that the photon has a speed higher than C in its photon state but on average it's C due to the fluctuation into an electron/positron pair? I would imagine that's the wrong model because there's contradictions that arise (e.g. the speed of light would vary with the energy of the photons so that those not fluctuating would have a higher speed but that's not the case AFAIK). Is this just "quantum mechanical weirdness" or do we have an "intuitive" explanation for how the speed of light and this fluctuation interplay?
I mean in the context of a yearly update, of course. I don’t mean that over a long period of time we shouldn’t expect much more significant changes to smart watches.
Are they? They're considered places that pay well and get you good credentials, but does anyone in 2021 think that a game studio is a good place to work? Or Amazon?
Yes, I agree with everything your are saying. On a practical level, guns are available to anyone who wants one. Regional and city level restrictions only create a mild level of friction.
Also, they aren't testing masking effect on seroprevalence (or R0), they are testing the effect of sending out free masks and encouraging masking. That is only going to move the percent of people masking up or down a few percent at best.
Young girls lack agency, that's been the general consensus of the human race for a very long time save for the extreme right wing and some relatively new corners of the left. Always good to examine the structural inequality that Instagram magnifies (guardians and the media enforcing beauty standards) but children have zero responsibility in this case.
OK that argument has been debunked a million times but here we go:

1. No one is talking about mandates
2. Yes living unhealthy is a burden on the health care system. But I am fine with that as long as your actions only have consequences in your own life. With an infectious disease that's different because you suddenly have a multiplier. I didn't hear about any ICU capacity issues because of obese people.
3. We (at least most countries) already have measures to increase the overall health of our society (smoking bans in certain places, age limits on alcohol consumptions, programs in schools to provide healthier food in cafeterias, you name it).
"Humans overwhelmingly make up stories so reinforce their opinions."

At least we can agree on that. You're doing it right now.

Funny that you put "a few symptoms" in scare quotes, given that loss of taste and smell is highly indicative of covid and not any other widely circulating illness.
I just love how much more terse and fast it is, someone else linked a benchmark below. There's definitely a learning curve though.

If you already think pandas is slow I think you'll be surprised how much more strongly you feel after using data.table!
It's amoral because they act based on incentives and not the commenter's religious beliefs.
I don't believe the science is settled no matter how much the already vaccinated wish to turn the page. What do you have to say that studies of vaccine efficacy and risk conducted by drug companies exclude those with prior immunity. How could the science be settled for a cohort purposefully excluded?
The mean is something you can easily compute progressively and with trivial resources. Median and percentiles, on the other hand, can be super expensive and potentially unsuitable for some real-time applications, since you need to maintain a sorted list of all relevant samples.
FWIW, I've swum and surfed with my 5 and 6 for countless hours with no problems what so ever. And Im awful at surfing so the watch has taken an absolute _beating_.
I think the maintainers build different variants based on RAM size and feature set.

For example, the image I used on my router was 27Mb, but the smaller "min" image for the relatively old RT-N12 was only 3.6Mb.
What's the alternative for Android? After broken straps and finally a dead screen with my Fitbit Versa, I don't want to buy another Fitbit again. How about Garmin? Any other?

Apple sells a 7 core and 8 core version of their M1 chips. Maybe Intel and AMD ship CPUs with even more cores disabled but it's not like Apple doesn't do this at all.
Another big factor is the availability of hiring talent. But I guess this already comes under the popularity point.
Well the whiteboard is in my opinion not about technical correctness, and I don't appreciate companies that obsess on the technical aspect of it. It's about testing if it's the type of person you can sit down and work through a problem with. Some companies want all the programmers to meet up each day at stand ups, or sit them close to each other, and they can share problems and seek out help from each other. I get that. Working through a problem together on a whiteboard is a preview of that type of interaction.

Still that kind of coding environment can get annoying, so maybe you're trying to avoid those aspects too :) Personally now have enough money where I have zero interest to participate in those kind of employee environments, it's not something I'd choose to do and am happy to have exited it. Only want to work on own projects and ventures on own terms.
What makes taxes complicated for an average Joe in the US, who's got a job and doesn't engage in some complex activities that are more useful to the top 0.1% ? I used to do my own taxes in the UK and while the process is fairly straightforward (would never pay anyone to do it) but the terminology in some cases is outright silly. Now I'm in Lithuania, where I could file my tax returns just by logging into my online banking. It'd be interesting to see how it's on the other side of the pond.
People skills are skills.

asides from obese people / poor lifestyle choice people taking up health care resources, not only from Covid but they're also taking up resources from all other ailments that comes up BECAUSE they're obese. As well the culture today encourages plus size, like it's asking to overwhelm the healthcare system
There are links to the community wiki on the Lazarus website (linked in the parent answer). Lazarus is not a language but a FOSS 'fork' of Delphi based upon object Pascal. Since there are many old-timers there, my guess is they hang out on IRC.
Yes, plenty, but they usually only pay "excellent by any normal standards" money, not "holy fucking shit, I going to retire well by age 45 while living like a king" money.

Confusingly, there are also some in that category that whiteboard non-fresh-grads. As if there aren't offers available practically for the asking, in the market we've had for several years now, from places that don't do that, for anyone who has a record & references to point to, paying the same kind of money.

The most annoying thing about this situation is that companies can be weirdly coy about offering any info about WTF their interview process is like. Except the actual big-boys (FAANG) who pretty much give you a study guide. Just a waste of everyone's time not to offer details about the kind of thing the interview will cover, up-front. "You'll be writing code on a whiteboard for three hours, and we're not going to tell you how we'll be judging what you write, or what we expect, or the sort of thing we'll ask you to do" OK, cool, bye, I'll use that day to interview with someone else then.
I think there is ongoing discussion to support

Speaking for myself here, I can't really get into iOS devices like this new iPad mini anymore in part because I have grown accustomed to being able to:

a) roll back apps if a new version is broken/undesirable.

b) sideload apps if an app is not available on the app store because they fell out of grace (eg. fortnite).

c) choose a web browser, on iOS you can have any skin you want, as long as the engine is Safari.

d) choose a media player, no hardware decoding on iOS if it is not an Apple-blessed codec and last time I looked, Apple did not allow mkv and I fail to understand why I need to transcode or remux just to please them otherwise it is software decoding.

e) no emulation of other systems allowed or environments that can run code.

Android still allows all of these things.
I agree the problem here is an incorrect model. Mask does not act on seroprevalence. Measuring mask's effect on seroprevalence is just wrong study design, although it may be easier to do.
Yep exactly the same here, non-stop recruiter mail on linkedin since Nov 2020 (when I moved to my current role from one of these).

Senior roles in the 80-100k range, a few 'team lead' and fintech's looking around 140-160k (these were much more office focused though).
You Need to Update Your iPhone and Other Apple Devices
I never use that crown.. at least I never rotate it. They could get rid of it without any functionality loss, no?
you're kidding. fitness tracking, music and podcasts during walks/runs, less intrusive notifications, taking calls and receiving messages with GSM module, heart rate monitoring including arrhythmia and other issues.

right now the only thing you can possibly complain about is battery life, but personally i found it to be a routine/habit building exercise to just put the thing charging when i'm showering after morning walk.
> I've come to believe flipping is a major problem, at least in my locale. A $300K house gets $50K of "improvements", then the investors needs $100K profit after commissions are covered and so we're in the $500K range for the next buyer and very little value was added.

That's not quite how it works though. How much the investor spent in changes is not relevant. What matters is how much the next buyer values those changes.

If the investor bought the place for 300K and spent 50K on giant pink flamingo statues all over the yard, the next buyer will likely offer less than 300K.

Only if they spent 50K on improvements that the next buyer feels are worth it an increase the value, then they'll offer more. But in that case, value actually was added.
What reality is that? I haven’t seen the thread sorry, have you a link?
That’s why I use a cheaper sportwatch: it’s too expensive for “extreme” situations. Lost one while windsurfing, it’s at the bottom of the ocean. Fortunately the price wasn’t too bad, 140 euros, so less painful to replace. I won’t consider an Apple Watch until price comes below 150.
If you cancel somebody's merchant account, give them a phone number to call. It's not that complicated.
I just use two watches and alternate every night.
I still don’t see the value of these beyond workout tracking
Special relativity is (partially) predicted by Maxwell's equations, and they are fully compatible. They are instead incompatible with classical mechanics.

GP claimed that Maxwell's equations are missing a term for gravity/mass, which would be the domain of General Relativity. This is more complicated, as it's true that they didn't predict gravitational lensing. But, they are still compatible with GR, as GR modifies the coordinate system, and Maxwell's equation in the GR curved space-time coordinate system do predict gravitational lensing.

GP also pointed out that Maxwell's equations are not compatible at all with QM, as they incorrectly predict that photons can't interact. Here there is no way to save them - Maxwell's equations are just an approximation, and the actual laws governing the behavior of light are substantially different, only reducing to ME in certain approximations (just like classical mechanics is not compatible with either QM or SR/GR, except as an approximation of either of the two others).
I have a ton of photos, taken with high megapixel cameras and not just the phone - thus if you want those with you (not even talking about the propagated 4K and up videos from drones, phones and dslrs) it only starts to get interesting at 521GB+ (for the ones you keep).

If there’s ways of offloading video footage (lightroom for photos does work ok as a buffer) for editing-apps i’m more than happy to hear about alternatives other than adding it to your photos library or files.
Well, if their body chemistry is predilected to create fat over healthy muscle or ramping up their metabolism to burn the excess, then there may be a grain of truth to the claim.

Per the article: Carbs + high circulating Insulin + Low Ghrelin+ a certain amount of fat already on the body = body chemistry that prefers to create fat over using the energy for literally anything else.

If that is the case, then that's a hell of a dilemma. If you eat more than your body will burn by the time the food has processed, the excess will go to fat.

Eat one meal a day but have 1,200 calories in a meal (since most dieticians say that no one should eat less than 1,200 calories a day), well, your body can only process so many calories in a certain amount of time, so everything else goes to fat.

True, if your BMR is higher than 1,200 (which it should be if you're not dead) then you will turn around and burn that back away if you stick rigidly to your diet.

But a normal person not afflicted like this might have a body temperature increase as their body ramped up to process the excess calories instead...
The big difference from EM is that if you turn of your transmitter the "junk" disappears while space junk can persist for a long time in any orbit that is not extremely close. It is also very unknown how much it will cost to clean up the junk and how spread out it will be (both because space-cleaning is new and that space accidents tend to spread out). It sounds great to have those requirements conceptually but it is also extremely hard to even start to think about what those requirements would be and how to enforce them globally.
maybe a good contraction would be a disbeni
I think "calm" might refer to the user in that context, as the opposite of "frustrated to the brink of violence".

A game UI might be wacky and as twitchy as a rodent dosed with recreational stimulants, but the user feels calm, capable of navigating through it and never doubting they can accomplish what they set out to do.
Yeah, that already counts as "serious" :) Cheapest 1080p ones don't all come with DP
That’s weird, my series 4 that I bought on October 18’, use it every day (except in the shower) and of curse when I swim (we have a sea not an ocean but it’s the same) and I never had/have an issue

Small things that can make a big difference in life
Since they're a small population, they don't matter for making generalizations about middle-easterners or whatever other larger classification you use.
I imagine that in the near to medium future at least, they'll optimise for fast charging. 45 minutes to 80% is good, but 20 minutes to 80% would mean that you could just charge it while having a shower and it should be practically fully charged.
I believe I did turn them off but after some update they got turned back on. I got tired of maintaining/troubleshooting my watch like any other computer. Also, I accidentally scratched the display which couldn't be repaired without much expense. I don't want to wear something that precious/fragile on my wrist.
This thread is what, 90% "no, I have not", which doesn't answer the question at all.

So to chip in on that: I changed my mind from "this is stupid" to "this is stupid and evil".

Reason: Energy consumption, plus the greed.

Christopher Hitchens said that religion is the only way that a good person can do absolutely heinous evil acts. But he was wrong. Greed can, too.

The number of bodies otherwise good people have crawled over in the name of bitcoin greed, while yelling "IT'LL BE A UTOPIA IN THE END (and by the way in the meantime I'm getting rich yo, but that's a coincidence)!" is sickening.
> 32gb on my phone. I don't actually know how much storage my phone has.

It sounds like your phone has 32GB, no?

I made sure the Pixel 5a had at least 128GB. I think 256GB for ipad mini is a good amount for a consumption device.
What-aboutism at its finest.
I recently purchased a Galaxy Watch 4. It is similarly specced as the apple watch, but it has quirks. It uses the new Wear OS, which is great, but compared to what i've seen from the Apple Watch, i'm not sure it's in the same league software wise. The Apple Watch just seem superior in software and hardware quality.
All anecdotal but I regularly swim laps (a few times a week), shower, and free dive with my Series 4.

Just last week jumped off a 30 foot cliff and the clasp came loose, it literally flew off my wrist and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. A friend helped me retrieve it, maybe 30-40 feet down. Perfect working order as of today!

I once did get some sand in the crown and needed to wash it out thoroughly but no other hardware problems in the 3 years I've owned it.

Love my Garmin Instinct. It's just enough of a GPS smartwatch. Super durable, waterproof, great battery life, modest price.
I have to say this doesn't come as a surprise.

Bootcamps have failed one after another. The most well known, Lambda, is even desperate enough they will "loan" you a new "grad" for free to try to get you to hire one [0]. And that's not even scratching the surface of what's wrong with bootcamps in general, like having instructors barely a few months ahead of students giving out lectures and grading assignments [1].

I can't say I've seen anyone out of a bootcamp that was a great hire. I guess these online coding schools might cater to motivated teenagers that are interesting in trying out CS before enrolling in a proper degree. But there's no money to be made there.

Yeah, I didn't fully understand the point of that tangent, and it sounds like to me this "debate" between the Progressive and Capitalist, was "won" by the Progressive. But I guess I'm just a radical?

> P. ....But the safety movement was not inevitable—it was the result of progressive reformers. Capitalism would never have accomplished this on its own.

> C. Well… I have to admit, reformers like Eastman and Hard seem instrumental in this story. Their work helped bring about the legal reform, and the legal reform brought about the safety departments. So, I have to give them credit for that.

> P: Good.

Is this not a straight admission of the flaws of capitalism?

This bit was especially hilarious to me--

> C: No, you can’t sign away all your rights. You can’t sell yourself into slavery, for instance.

uh... yes, people did.

I somewhat think that's the point of the tangent though. Much of the blog goes into nitty-gritty detail on other ways society progresses-- by blood, sweat, and tears-- and so I think this tangent pushes that narrative, but it's weird that the opposite narrative is appeared to be given equal footing when previous posts seem to argue that it's not.

Or perhaps it was an attempt to push to reader into the mindset at the time, in which case, the counter-arguments still aren't that convincing to me, but again perhaps it's just the modernity bias.

This product has a huge flaw. I’m not charging my watch every day. I just won’t. My $13 Casio has been running for 9 years without a charge and hasn’t lost 1 minute. No, Apple, you can’t have $400 for that.
They were totally silent on the processor. Did not mention it anywhere. Couldn’t find it on their site. You can’t compare Series 7 watch. Something’s going on.
It depends, I only use it to increase/decrease the music volume of the iPhone but can’t live without it
Boring demos are available anywhere you care to search. https://playcanvas.com/explore is the typical goto for this kind of 3d market these days. Particularly popular in the mobile OS and web game (e.g. facebook) space. Robostorm, seemore, and After The Flood are their demos.

Unity and Unreal can both export large games to the Web just fine but people found out they didn't want to serve 50 GB games to a temporary client.
I mean the government and these private hospitals had a year and a half to build capacity. Last I checked building capacity was supposed to be the rationale for the whole “flatten the curve” thing back in March of 2020.

Why are hospitals “full” when they had all this time? Why is society supposed to be punished for a failure of leadership to do what they said?

You're the customer, but you're a business customer, not a consumer customer. B2C vs B2B is different, and the contracts involved are different, and it's different way of thinking. The Internet I have at my house prohibits reselling because I'm buying it as a consumer. If I'm buying a business Comcast account, there's an expectation by Comcast that I'm going to be reselling the Internet access (like if I own a coffee shop or something). Thus, imo it's not common, but it's also not prohibited. (But I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.)

As for having two integrations, what's your opportunity cost? You'll want a backup integration, but imo that's in the same category as having a backup cloud to run on in case AWS goes down. Which, you do, but the time spent working on that is time spent not working on the product.
Children don't have the agency/brain development to take care of themselves in the presence of societal and peer pressure. This is the basis of many, many laws, social mores, and taboos.
I'm dubious of the claim that there were enough Americans who don't understand fractions to cause the product to fail. There are a huge number of reasons why a product sells poorly. It may be too expensive. It may not be the right product (too big for lunch). The place where it is being sold may have other issues.

I've only been to an A&W a couple of times, and in both cases the food was notably subpar--it seemed like something I might find in a school cafeteria, the service was slow, and the ambiance was dingy. I also don't like root beer that much so the restaurant has little draw for me. I'm more surprised that they were able to sell enough to stay in business at all. Customer confusion over the size of the 1/3 pounder is the least of their problems.
