The new Dell XPS's managed to squeeze their camera/mic up above without needing a notch[0]. I'm guessing Apple had the ability to do so too but decided not to either because a.) they're planning on adding FaceID at some point in new models and/or b.) because they're trying to "unify" the design aestethics on macOS and iOS

It’s a very strongly supported conjecture, but it has not been proven rigorously. As I said it would be extremely surprising if It were not true because of a frankly absurd amount of evidence. The second claim you make is false though— 3D holographic CFTs would be dual to a 4D quantum gravity theory.

Additionally, this conjecture is actually experimentally verifiable—you can set up strongly coupled systems in the lab and study the string theory description, and compare the predictions.
Why does Dell ship with one?
Again, there ARE definition changes.

From [1] (an article you referenced):

> When a person has more than one account and takes > actions (such as liking photos or adding comments) on the separate accounts, these actions may be counted separately even though they were made by the same person.

Notice the "may be counted" part (which is pretty vague and it's hard to argue the definition hasn't changed on a vague statement). Judging by the their latest announcement [2], by mentioning "may be counted" in [1], they probably meant this:

- If that persons' email was the same on two or more accounts, or they used the same mobile device, we'll count it as the one person

- Otherwise, we'll count it as a different person

Again, I'm quoting this part from [2]:

> For example, if someone used the same email address across their Facebook and Instagram accounts or accessed both platforms from the same device, we counted them as one person when they interacted with ads.

The definition of "may be counted" will essentially change after Facebook implements their counting update to:

- If a person didn't link their accounts under "Accounts Center", we'll count them as 2 people

- Otherwise we'll count them as one person

So Facebook won't make any attempts to implicitly associate 2 accounts as 1 person using emails/device IDs as they did in the past.

Based on the available data, the definition of what Facebook counts as a "unique person" HAS changed.

If you provide intermediate binary build artifacts i.e. C object files, there it no problem with LTO or signing builds.

I.e. nothing in the LGPL requires you to sign the changed/re-linked binary as far as I known. Similar nothing requires you to sign the provided intermediate
artifacts.

Still only relay viable for C, and maybe C++ if no/few templates where used around the interface. (Or scripting languages bundles with a runtime into a binary.)

> The DMCA also explicitly states that it's protection against liability doesn't apply to service providers that do not properly implement the counter-claim reinstatement process

No, it doesn't.

It says that the liability shield against the user whose material was taken down only applies when material is restored according to the counternotice process, and the liability shield against copyright claimants does not apply if material is restored other than according to the counternotice process.

But since providers tend to be able to structure their relationship with users so that they have no liability for taking material down for any reason, they rarely need that side of the safe harbor. DMCA safe harbor has an illusion of symmetry, but since the underlying liability tends not to be symmetrical, neither is the safe harbor in practice.

Indeed, they're not especially thirsty; California just grows an incredible volume of them because we subsidize their production with vastly underpriced water far cheaper than the rate per volume that residential users have to pay.

It takes about a gallon of water to produce an almond, and the residual ends up in the air, where it's basically useless.

I mean, you don't see the state repealing rules about low-flow showers and toilets because "the water stays in California", right?
One could view Marcan's work on Asahi Linux as "making M1 open".

Going out on a limb here, but as a firm believer in open systems I think it's fine to buy an M1 Mac to the extent it's guaranteed to run Linux (or OpenBSD, or whatever) without any problems.

System that can't do that are the ones to really avoid.

It’s also possible to keep the parser simple, and look for “await” function calls during static analysis of the AST.
This has been the commonly reported number for quite some time. This paper is literally just repeating a number that's been widely reported for months.

The way its been reported for some time is that vaccines provide moderate reduction in transmissibility, but significant reduction in hospitalization or death (severe infection).

Also wow this is misleading:

> Of the top 5 counties that have the highest percentage
of population fully vaccinated (99.9–84.3%), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifes 4
of them as “High” Transmission counties. Chattahoochee
(Georgia), McKinley (New Mexico), and Arecibo (Puerto
Rico) counties have above 90% of their population fully vaccinated with all three being classifed as “High” transmission. Conversely, of the 57 counties that have been classifed
as “low” transmission counties by the CDC, 26.3% (15) have
percentage of population fully vaccinated below 20%.

You can't compare things in this way. When you do it the "right way", you'll see a correlation, weak but extant (much as you see in their diagrams) which contradicts the central claim of the paper.

But what does buildable mean, no-one but you has access to your CI (which also might likely not be public).

So do you need to provide another CI, a make-file you maintain additionally, etc.? Or is it good enough so that someone could run "the right CLI commands to build and link the project".

I back things up to Backblaze B2 from Linux using borg. It works really well and it's incredibly cheap. I'm paying less than $1/month to keep about 155GB of data there. About half the data is from Borg backups, the other is rcloned copies of my music files.
not really any of the above per se, I just wanted to know how to figure the probabilities..
The real problem here is that the constraint is on how much money you have regardless of how much money you're investing.

If your net worth is $20M and you're investing $20,000, losing all of it clearly wouldn't bankrupt you. If your net worth is $20,000 and you're investing $20,000, losing all of it clearly would bankrupt you.

But then you say to the person with $20,000 that they can't invest $500. Which is kind of nonsense.

Apple M1 uses my "Warehouse/Workshop Model", It's a IT architecture with the simplest and most vivid mathematical prototype: the "water in/out of a pool" problem in elementary school mathematics.

Software and hardware are factories that manufacture data, so they have the same "warehouse/workshop model" and management methods as the manufacturing industry.

the "Warehouse/Workshop Model" will surely replace the "von Neumann architecture" and become the first architecture in the computer field, and it is the first architecture to achieve a unified software and hardware. Because "von Neumann architecture" lacks mathematical model support, it is impossible to prove its scientificity.

It is an epoch-making theoretical achievement in the IT field, it surpasses the "von Neumann architecture", unifies the IT software and hardware theory, and raises it from the manual workshop production theory level to the modern manufacturing industry production theory Level. Although the Apple M1 chip has not yet fully realized its theory, Apple M1 chip has become the fastest chip in the world.

It has a wide range of applications, from SOC to supercomputer, from software to hardware, from stand-alone to network, from application layer to system layer, from single thread to distributed, from general programming to explainable AI, from manufacturing industry to IT industry, from energy to finance, from the missile's "Fire-and-Forget" technology to Boeing aircraft pulse production line technology .

Every company that is growing fast will be "overpriced" by any metric if your metrics don't take this growth into account.

When people point to the "fundamentals", sometimes they are failing to recognize the things that are really fundamental to business valuation and instead focus on the wrong metrics (eg.: PE, EPS, all need to be interpreted within context, and sometimes a PE ratio of 1000 is entirely normal and justified).

They have the third highest rate of Covid in the country. They're not getting infected because they're already infected.
That type of backup does not work on Linux or for network attached drives. I guess if you are willing to run Windows on your NAS then it technically works but it's a pretty ugly hack and the 'sync' will happily delete files that are accidentally deleted or corrupted.
I never understand why people try to make this point. It’s pretty obvious covid comes in waves. Florida is now on the downswing of the delta wave. At its peak it had more than twice deaths per capita than California (arguably the most restrictive state).

The Framework laptop is a good choice—I'm typing this reply from one.

My least-favorite thing about the older MacBook Pro I migrated from was that (even when it was covered by AppleCare+) both times its battery failed I needed to wipe its SSD, hand it over to Apple for a week, and then restore it from a backup when it was returned.

If my Framework's battery ever fails I can order a replacement for $59 and replace it myself in minutes.

I see a lot to salivate over in the new MBP. But as long as I can avoid it, or until batteries become radically more reliable, I'll never again rely on a main laptop without a user-replaceable battery.

What's your process for backing up to B2 using borg?

I'm currently doing borg backups to a local server, then using restic to back up my borg backups to B2. My reason for using restic over rclone is so that if the local backup is corrupted I've got history on the remote to fall back to.

I'm hoping to find a less cumbersome way to do this.

> Actionable advice

> The only way to prevent CMV infection is to avoid exposure to the bodily fluids of others.

How is this actionable?

> Overall, CMV-positive individuals have an increased all-cause mortality. Unadjusted, the effect seems enormous, but this is largely due to the fact that older people are more likely to be CMV-positive. Even after adjusting for this and other confounders, the estimated effect is still a 1.19-fold increase in all-cause mortality (35), or a loss of approximately 1.1 years of life expectancy in the study population of adults of 25 years and older.

Since the author notes that "human herpesvirus 5 (CMV) infects the majority of humanity" it would seem that CMV infection is just a cost of doing business (living). Without dismissing the negative impacts CMV can have (especially the birth defects), calling it "about as bad as HIV and malaria" is a crazy insane claim.
A very good explanation, thank you. I didn't think there was a hidden meaning, just wasn't sure what you meant. I will say that I think you left out a category though.

I'm far too lazy to offer a blow-by-blow rebuttal - although I encourage everyone to view some of the discussions for the other submissions from this domain - but I can offer some points of dissonance:

* Vaccines dramatically reduce not just the likelihood but also the severity of infection

* "Long covid" is very much a thing - deaths are not the final metric for social impact

* In the event of a breakthrough infection, vaccines lower the risk of "long covid" to about half

* Lockdowns have an obvious and dramatic effect on transmission

* Infection rates have trended upwards yet death rates have trended downwards, inconsistent with the assertion that vaccines have "failed to do much about anything".

* The assertion "we don’t know the true rate of Corona-induced myocarditis in children, because most of infections go unnoticed" is unfalsifiable

* The nevertheless confident immediate subsequent description of said risk as "near-zero"

* The immediately preceding description of the rarity of vaccine side effects as "alleged", with no explanation offered for the skepticism
