money can't buy node process. Intel struggle with 10nm for so long and 7nm is delayed while TSMC is now 5nm production ready and developing 3nm.
Both race and ethnicity are cultural categories. Example: Barack Obama is considered black in the US even though he has a white mother. This is a consequence of American culture, the historical "one drop" rule.
My wife has many friends who use filters on all their pictures and these people look nothing like their original selves. Imagine you're even a decent looking kid and every damn photo you come across online are these unrealistic fake images that are portrayed as real.

I know photo editing has been done in marketing for decades, but the biggest difference is that you knew those were professional models and people you'd never meet in real life, but this, this is pervasive down to the level of "normal" people, skewing what "normal" is supposed to be.
It depends on what you mean by crackdown. On capitalism? Yes, and they've been really clear about it. China still has the official plan to introduce socialism by 2050, capitalist freedoms were never meant to be permanent. Now by 2050, the CCP is also supposed to be merely taking a backseat roll and the society will be equal and free. I think that's the contentious point within the CCP. Xi is part of the hardline left within the party, who is scared of losing to much influence to capitalists. He is naturally allied with CCP members who want more hard power. Lastly he's also almost certainly a social conservative, as are many of the current people in the leadership.

Xi was sent to hard labor in the countryside as a youth, and then went on to pretty strict education. He sees younger people today as weak and fun-seeking and that doesn't sit well with him and the other bigwigs. (This is all my own conjecture, take it with a grain of salt)
I suppose that's viable, as a process. Maybe even the best we can do.

What I'm surprised about is that they call it a "registry" when it operates more like a mailing-list, where you should watch for publications and reply when you have objections. A "registered trademark" is more a "trademark advertised on the mailing-list with no objection at the time". Which is not silly, but somewhat inappropriately named.
Effect size is significantly more important than statistical significance

The fact that Facebook, something that really shouldn't even need an app, requires this kind of compression seems like more of an unintentional commentary on how bloated their terrible app is than anything else.
Everything is subjective. Especially laws. So everyone should revolt and over throw the us government.

Scheme Flooding Vulnerability
I see a symmetry between return values that you are required to check, checked exceptions (that you therefore have to catch), and patterns that you have to match. In each case, the compiler forces you to handle your errors (or, more generously, the compiler helpfully points out where you failed to do so).

But I think that pattern matching, and even checked exceptions, are much less verbose than constantly checking the return value. That doesn't mean that they're better, just less verbose. (Exceptions in particular - I can invisibly leave this function at points that are not specified. Does that leave everything in a clean state in all possible circumstances? Explicit error returns are much more verbose, but may be easier to reason about, because the information you need is all explicitly visible.)
As individuals, maybe, but as a society I have a hard time seeing proof when there is normalized wage slavery, the animal industrial complex, and any industry with money or power is deeply corrupted.

Right now we have a large percentage of people that refuse to get a vaccine to protect their neighbors.

Everyone might have morals, but the bar is low.
Latin "v" pronounced like English "w" is the old, original pronunciation.

During the evolution of the language, the pronunciation of Latin "v" has changed to that of English "v", so this is how all Romance languages pronounce it.

Actually the sound "v" did not exist in the ancient Indo-European languages, but only the English "w".

The change in pronunciation from "w" to "v" has affected most European languages, not only those descended from Latin, unless they have lost completely the original "w", like Greek.

English is an exception where the ancient pronunciation of "w" has been conserved, even if other sounds have changed more than in most languages.
Going back to the similarity between Facebook and the tobacco industry that the article points out, you could make the case that Phillip Morris is not to blame because people are naturally prone to nicotine addiction. I hope that at some point we as a society figure out that unregulated social media has the same damaging potential as tobacco, alcohol or gambling, especially for kids.
Introducing: The OAuth 2 Game
The #OAuth 2 #game can help you to familiarize yourself with the most common grant choices for the most frequently used application types. It features two dice, one for grants and another for application types.
Exactly. It seemed like a sound business decision because it gave them measurably more money in their pocket over a short period of time. They don't appear to have taken into account that they left the door open for competition. It wasn't just prices that left them vulnerable, but it sure didn't help.

AMD should never have been able to get back in the game.
It’s honestly really strange how triggered you are.
Apparently my comment was also not in lock step as you say. I'm not questioning your decision but if we're providing anecdotal data points then we should provide as many as possible.
Yeah, especially since the study wasn't even seeking to determine a size comparison. It sounds like they took some random anecdotes from respondents and read the wrong things into them.

If you wanted to find out the actual incidence of this confusion, you'd want a test structured in a really different way from this.
The user base has grown exponentially since then and it is far easier to impulse buy games than ever before (30 years ago I had to drive to a store to buy a boxed copy). There are far more gamers than before. Steam has also shown that by giving deep discounts even though per-unit profit goes down they are able to make tons more money.

The monetization schemes are mostly just a way to squeeze every drop out of the customer possible. They use them because they work, not because they aren't profitable already.

I'd rather see prices on games get raised than this sort of shit. The problem is every time prices go up everyone brings out the pitchforks, so we get this shit instead. It's largely turned me off of video games, especially big budget multiplayer focused games.
If tests are widely used we really don’t need to worry about false negatives. Self correcting problem. False positives are also not a problem. Tests should be ubiquitous and cheap. They are not a thing to fear and over regulate.
Good analogies, that most people can relate to. ( not saying they will necessarily agree with the degree of harm in each case).
The mask analogy though is an odd one where I cannot relate to. I personally see it as superstition and fear masquerading as science. In fact a lot of 'science' as we know is beliefs, not something that is fact checked or experimented to the best possible extent. Throw politics into the mix ( i.e taking advantage of a crisis) and the 'science' becomes even more questionable. All in all, I too I too lean toward the left side of the spectrum that you mentioned.
> If you misread it, it is not the company's fault. They have provided factual information.

That’s really not a fair argument given advertising and marketing theory and schemes.

Who knows about this particular case since we don’t know if the 0.10% needed to be compared to other rates like 0.08%, where the formatting would maybe make more sense. But it’s not beyond imagination that someone could try to hook a customer with numbers. It’s done all the time with the whole $8.99 thing.

I don't think that's true.

Initially the particles are in roughly similar orbits to the two bodies that initially collided, but not precisely the same. Over time (exactly like billard balls without friction), those minor divergences mean they cover very wide areas.

Look up the "Gabbard diagram", which is a great way of depicting the outcome of a collision. There's a spray of different orbits, with some properties that resemble the original objects, but diverging significantly from them.

Edit: Here's an AMAZING 3d animated Gabbard diagram, that shows not only the altitude and period, but also the right ascension of each object. You can see the debris from the Fengyun booster sweeping around the whole planet, crossing the orbits of other objects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePuvJDVNJd0

Even if they did stay in the same orbit, a thousand objects in the same orbit presents a thousand times more collision risk than one object in orbit. But because the collision changes the momentum of all the objects involved, it's much worse than that -- the results end up all over, and some of them are too small to track but still large enough to do damage. Those are the ones you really have to worrry about.
Early on, pandas made some unfortunate design decisions that are still biting hard. For example, the choice of datetime (pandas.Timestamp) represented by a 64-bit int with a fixed nanosecond resolution. This choice gives dynamic range of +- 292 years around 1970-01-01 (the epoch). This range is too small to represent the works of William Shakespeare, never mind human history. Using pandas in these areas becomes a royal pain in the neck, for one constantly needs to work around pandas datetime limitations.

OTOH, in numpy one can choose time resolution units (anything from attosecond to a year) tailoring time resolution to your task (from high energy physics all way to astronomy). Panda's choice is only good for high-frequency stock traders, though.
Given enough debris at different orbital heights, maybe Woz company can collect it at one location and use it as a launch platform, using the debris as the reaction-mass, then they can use solar power as the energy source to launch to higher orbits, rather than ejecting rocketfuel for thrust. Does this seem feasible? Given certain rocket trajectories, the debris could be made to fall back to earth, solving 2 problems at once - escape velocity energy needs as well as excessive space debris.

*Using space debris as railgun payload, but the railgun (rocket ship) is what you want to accelerate.
Facebook has no integrity.
You can only trade $wow on tradeorg, wow is not going to get meme adoptions as doge if it is not available on other exchanges or at least supporting Atomic Swaps. Besides people are moving to NFTs.
You've now got me picturing a guy holding tablets in a trench coat in a dark alley with asking some teenagers passing buy if they wanna buy some time on social media.

"I got it all, buddy. Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook...I can hook you up."
You've thrown that "insult" again at me while advocating changing a legal term because you think it triggers people. Strange.

I think the right way to end the "obsession" (which is probably a poor term to use, since it's highly incentivized to drive), is to end the massive subsidies for car based transportation. Require maintenance to be paid for by the users, and I'm sure we'll see car related costs skyrocket, and then many people will look for other options.
I'm not sure I've ever heard a good explanation for why the urbanism wave (among a fairly specific demographic) happened. As far as I can tell, it was mostly led by people and employers increased their urban presence in response to better educated/better off young people wanting to live in cities--not the other way around.

(There are some exceptions I can think of like pharma in Kendall Square Cambridge. But I assume Google, VMware, and Facebook would be just as happy if not happier establishing offices in Metro West--where most of the computer tech has historically been--rather than Cambridge.

Manhattan is somewhat of an outlier but Manhattan has long been an outlier in lots of ways.

Bad news for all of us, to be frank.
> "Race" is an attempt to put people with different biological traits into 'buckets' but in reality there's variation, overlap, and blurry lines that make any sort of classification a social approximation at best.

The same is true of "species". Last I checked, there were at least 24 different definitions of "species", all of which have some overlap and none of which are perfectly precise. You don't see people going around saying "species is a social construct". Then again, maybe they will soon, I suppose anything is possible these days.

That said, you are correct that "race" is merely a rough statistical correlation for some cohort, not some precise measure. If we can categorize more precisely, then we should, and we only fall back to "race" as a last resort (if it's applicable).
Yes, if you add relativity to Maxwell's equations, you get relativistic Maxwell's equations. Ultimately not particularly relevant here anyhow since it's QM describing what's going on here, not relativity.

I don't deal in automotive metaphors because they rarely enlighten, so I'll just stick with, yes, they are broken in those places, and are not suitable for unqualified claims about the nature of reality. This isn't about what would be nice if it were true or slight exaggerations, it's about the models being broken by being applied outside of their domain in an unqualified manner. That's exactly not how they are wrong. They are wrong in a much stronger manner.

And what's more, their strong brokenness is scientific consensus, not some sort of whacky theory. Whack theorization is what you're doing when you take these models, apply them in a domain they are known to be broken in, then claim this is the absolute truth about what is going on.
Thanks for all the info. I want to give FP a proper try one day, and there are many different roads, but it's always a rocky start for me with a new language. Having a clear translation from one to the other is important, so I'm glad you updated this.

True that this matches the original example. I guess my mind filled in the second delay automatically when it noticed, "this isn't gonna blink to the naked eye!"
Great new site Chad! more blogs, tutorials, articles and possibly community contibutons around the same would be awesome to see :)
I always wondered why that mounting mechanism even existed. Would've thought it would get scrapped on the drawing board but maybe no one in the design pipeline ever put a screwdriver through their motherboard.
The claims GP made about Taiwan practically being able to develop Nukes is supported by that wiki article, though.

> "There is no evidence that Taiwan possesses any nuclear weapons or any programs to produce them, although it does have the advanced technological ability necessary to develop nuclear weapons as well as the high-tech ability to enrich uranium or process plutonium."
It has escalated in the past few years but they've been preparing for decades. Last month, Chinese warships were spotted [1] near Alaska. I find it strange that these acts of aggression are not known by your average American citizen.

Delta was the dominant variant only by end of July so the data set for the 0.1 number could have been based mostly on a virus which is 2.5x less deadly.

We're now facing an endemic virus which, even with vaccination, approaches (or could get as bad as) the deadliness of the flu.
Yeah, VIPs can post revenge porn with 6Mil views while randos get booted for posting breast feeding pic, and executives claim they are enforcing the rules... sounds like VIP to me.

It’s to reduce strain on hospitals and healthcare in general, but ICU beds in particular. It’s one thing for someone to get severe covid when the healthcare system knows how to treat it and has the capacity. It’s another thing to get severe covid (or have a heart attack, or be in an auto accident) when hospitals are at full capacity. The goal of the US government has always been to flatten the curve and never to eradicate the disease.
Slippery slope, slowly conditioning people, and before you know it. Only a select few may have the ability to use general computers.

Speculation, but plausible. I'd look at the broader trends, not just this one event. Rather, the series of events and the dark pattern behind it.
I can’t remember the internet exact year but I do remember the wailing and gnashing of teeth when they went from $50 standard to $60 standard sometime after 2000. Other than that one exception though, I believe you’re correct on prices.
The teams working on the JDK think about their work in 6-month release cycles, not LTS cycles. What's ready to go in when the train leaves the station, goes in, what's not, waits another 6 months. And this applies across the board for incremental changes coming from Amber, Loom, Valhalla, Panama, etc.

The danger of thinking in LTS cycles is a feeling that a feature needs to be rushed to make it in, which might jeopardize the production-ready quality on Day 1 of GA. It's very important to us that the ecosystem can trust every release, in production, right out of the gate.
>And now you see the right's version of "Resist" by avoiding vaccinations

"I love our people, so I want our people to take the vaccines." - Trump

"As a boy, I fought polio. Today, America’s been polio-free for 40 years — thanks to vaccinations. We’ll beat Covid-19 with vaccines, too. Protect yourself and your family. Get vaccinated." - McConnell

"Democrats and the media scoffed when @realDonaldTrump said we’d have a safe and effective vaccine this year, but he kept his promise!" - Kevin McCarthy, House minority leader

All of Republican leadership is urging people to get the vaccine. Anti-vaxxers think they're on the side of Republicans but, come midterms in 14 months, they're going to figure out that they're not on anyone's side.

Edit: I would love to hear from anyone old enough to remember what happened during a time in history when a large coalition of people thought they had representation in one party or the other but actually had no representation in either party. What happened during the subsequent election?
I wonder how much those space debris are worth from a recycling standpoint.
Turns out the Apple tax means you're also buying the three chips thrown away to produce your one...
While I certainly don't like China's authoritarian approach to everything, I actually like this idea of "Big Corporates" being forced to maintain a certain standing with the public and the government via laws and regulation. The current approach of leaving it to the "market" and measuring this only through money (profits and share prices) is just unviable and too simplistic for a global economy.

(Please also understand the historical context - both India and China have historically been exploited by the richest and largest corporate company in the world. Thus, they understand what happens when businesses become too big and start competing with the government. At one time, the East India company had a private army matching that of the British empire!)
How percentile approximation works and why it's more useful than averages
That's certainly right. One of the big lies in the US today about illegal immigration is that there are 11 million illegal immigrants in the US. That has been the same number touted for most of two decades (it's still mindlessly repeated by talking heads on TV).

The real number is now closer to 22 million illegal immigrants, according to a recent Yale study [1]. Representing around 6% of all people in the US. So wait, how are all of those people surviving? They're cheap labor for the big business machine, they're an unprotected cheap labor caste as you correctly point out. They can't complain, they don't have well protected worker rights, and it can take a long time to become a citizen. It's a human rights travesty, and both the big business conservatives and the Democrats (as both are pro open borders) are morally culpable for it.

The rational approach for the US would be to remodel its immigration system as something similar to Canada, focused more on high skill labor. We need to turn off the flood of illegal immigration while simultaneously creating a reasonable citizenship pathway for the 22 million illegal immigrants that are here now (most are never leaving, so the proper thing to do is to provide a citizenship pathway), which would also begin bringing them into the tax base and protecting them as workers.

seems nice, but you need a better UI my friend.
foundry ecosystem forced Intel's hand. we going to see more and more company developing its own chip and outsourced to TSMC and Samsung for production.

Intel's chip no longer fit what the market needs. Apple M1, YouTube own video-transcoding chips, AWS's graviton and Google's own chip for pixel 6.

we have reach the point where off the shelf chip isn't going to fit the problem we are trying to solve. the ability to make custom chip that fit your product/bottleneck is more important than the price and the Foundry ecosystem is reducing the custom chip cost.

i hope Intel IDM 2.0 can take off. we need more foundries that can do high end node.
People already complain about the price of that thing. Include a better SoC and it's going to get more expensive.
So you'd like there to be not just threats, but actual violence?
> How is this sarcastic answer helpful?

It’s helpful because it’s pointing out how absurd it is to constantly demand “data” to verify rudimentary observations of human nature. For whatever reason, and maybe it’s because of tech being so data obsessed, you can make a claim on this website as benign as “look both ways before crossing the street” and inevitably someone will want to see a “peer reviewed” study that says looking both ways before crossing the street “affects the outcome variable” of not getting hit by a car.

> If you don’t think universities are the right people to help with this question, who would you recommend to answer it?

Your mother, or your sister if you have one.

So now cancellation is a major, newsworthy problem for the Intercept, because it was attempted by nefarious conservatives though. Not so much of an issue when it's being done by the woke, their allies and anyone who finances hard "progressive" organizations. Cute. (to clarify, it's a problem regardless of who does it and has been one for much longer than the duration of the modern culture wars, but the digital age has made it so much more rapid-fire, and in either case, this OP reeks of hypocrisy).
