Do these rebrands even work? I see a couple of examples in other comments, like Comcast -> Xfinity, Philip Morris -> Altria, but this is the first time I see the name Altria. Even earlier this month when I was reading an article about tobacco, it used the name Philip Morris.

Google's rebranding to Alphabet also feels semi-successful. Technically Fitbit is a Google's sister company under the Alphabet umbrella, but all the news I've seen reported it as "Google acquires Fitbit". I only see the Alphabet name when I read about earnings reports and their stock value, and even then it's always introduced as "Alphabet, the Google parent company"
The Fed is actually here as a brake to prevent the economy from overheating. However, I'm no longer convinced that 2% is the ideal rate. In my opinion inflation allows the economy to adjust and higher inflation lets the economy adapt faster. I'd say anything below 5% is fair and anything above 10% is harmful.
The entire "is it a different species" discussion is missing the point, because their protection status isn't based on them being a different biological species, so the initial claim of "pretending they are a different species" already doesn't make sense.
I came here to say the same thing as square_usual[0] said elsewhere[1], but I'll expand on that a bit.

My immediate thought was ... Hmm, I wonder what this is? Is it like Twitter? Is it like Facebook? Is it like Mastodon? Is it like Instagram? TikTok? QQ? Pinterest? Reddit? Hacker News? How is it different? How is it new?

Then the first thing I saw was a paragraph of text and a sign-in form.

You are competing for people's attention, and while your platform may be wonderful, if you don't get people to try it, it will die unloved. The first thing you've done is given them a barrier, not a taster.

Now, you may not care so much, but recently I was talking with Steven Strogatz and he talked about one of the columns he wrote. He had shown his wife who said "It's confusing, I don't get the point, and people won't care." He replied: "No, no, it's wonderful! You'll see, I'll write some words and it'll be great!"

It wasn't, and it died, effectively unread. She was pretty much his exact audience, and he ignored her feedback. I'm sure you've spent a lot of time on getting this up and running, and you're proud of it, but if no one tries it, your time will be wasted. Given the existing presentation, I won't be trying it.

Then again, maybe I'm not your intended audience. But then again, maybe I am -- then it would be a shame if you ignored my feedback.

This is the real answer and no one really wants to talk about it because solving it is easily one of the greatest challenges of our time.

It is very hard for most to take ownership of the fact that their child is a misbehaved little shit because they were raised from birth on iPad, YouTube and Fortnite instead of more enriching activities. Virtually everyone has a burned out dopamine loop at this point and it's impossible to get kids excited about education anymore. You want to talk about drug problems, this one is easily the worst.

That whole piece is so Adams. It's a complete subplot, and the main plot happens interweaved and at the same time. Totally ridiculous. And I love how on the face its kinda stupid but then makes you think a bit about privilege... Wonderful.
The one right behind the Berlin Wall memorial was one of the ones I had in mind, absolutely gorgeous.
The most obvious case for Actors are usually anything where the time to process something isn't predictable and you need to manage state of that process. So the common example is Chatroom session management where some sessions might last 5 seconds and others might last for days. Likewise Games companies have built multiplayer gaming servers using Akka. Telcos and others are common users.

For me personally I'm using Akka to mangage the processing and reprocessing of a lot of entities through some algorithms where the processing time can't be known upfront and the data is unbounded.

In terms of wanting something to tinker with then I guess building a chat application backend is probably the easiest one to demonstrate the complexity of trying to manage that (and there are also some demos in the docs as well)
In Julia you can do `@fastmath ...`, which is basically just a find-and-replace of math operations and does not propagate into functions called in that code block, even when they are ultimately inlined. So what it does is:

julia> @macroexpand @fastmath x + y
:(Base.FastMath.add_fast(x, y))

And maybe that's a good thing, because the scope of @fastmath is as limited as it gets.
As far as I can tell so far no one has used the individual cell cylinders as load bearing components, only the battery box. Tesla's "structural battery" is aiming to do that and have the individual cell cylinders carry loads.
> Become a warehouse-kapo so consumers in Germany can receive their packages!

Some casual holocaust trivialization on a Wednesday.
Amazon still has to abide by the laws and regulations of countries they work in. So I wouldn't be surprised if workers in Germany are treated a lot better than they are in countries with weaker laws (not talking about Poland here, I don't know how they compare).
Wade in the third book is a very important US character.
Have you ever worked in a warehouse?

The last thing I wanted at 18 was not being able to earn 50 to 100% more an hour.

Also what your proposing is what the company did to everyone who didn’t work overtime but instead focused on working more than part time hours, so they would qualify for full time hours and thus benefits.

Work 2 months at 40 hrs per week? Great, have a month with no hours. Voila, now after 3 months your average hours per week is part time.

Yeah this was a union shop too, so don’t want to hear any nonsense from anyone about how great things would be if a union was skimming an additional 10% off the workers pay.

I wish people who weren’t doing the work would fuck right off with interfering with other peoples working relationships. Unions, mgmt, govt, workers comp, it’s all fucked and skims massively off people doing the work and towards the lifers.

Sorry if this comes off as a personal attack, but it brings me back to that life and the struggles everyone is going through. You feel fucked from every direction at a warehouse.
But the science was pure nonsense too. And not interesting nonsense. The videogame works by magic. The alien "protons" work by magic. The alien biology works by magic. It's not "what would the logical consequences be if the universe worked like this", it's just a bunch of stuff, tedious nonsense that means nothing.

I hate the book (and while the people who told me it got better fooled me once, I'm certainly not going to read the other two and let them fool me twice) and can't understand where all the praise comes from.

Definitely agree. My experience with Google lately is like this:

- I search for keywords A B C D
- I get 4 irrelevant text ads
- First result is relevant and contains all keywords
- "Other related searches"
- Then a list of results than omit A, B, C or D ("include A?"), or even omit multiple keywords, removing any sense in the query

And the whole time I feel like I'm being pushed around to buy something. It's becoming unbearable. I'm pretty sure Google is optimizing for more ad impressions at this point to burn through adsense credits asap...

A copyright license is a contract, no? Copyright law can't govern enforcement of license, it only determines whether the author has the right to apply license, for being an author, but the actual meat of the license is subject to contract law.
"Requests & data retrievals" tab footnote, above the grid:

> If a woman is poor, struggling to survive or trying to give a child a decent life in a society and economic system that is very sink or swim, do you consider it "consent" if she agrees to have sex with you so she can pay the rent, or have a decent meal, or buy the drugs she got hooked on dealing with depression and alienation, sold to her by a predatory drug dealer?

I give my boss consent to ask me to do stuff I'd rather not do. That's why they pay me. If I didn't get paid, I certainly wouldn't be doing things like attending Scrum meetings and fixing CSS bugs.

People tend to treat sex work like it's some sort of demeaning thing that no one should have to endure. If I had to choose between 1 hour of entertaining sexually entertaining someone for $1200 or 100 hours @ $12/hour of dealing with a shit boss in a demeaning dead-end job, I choose the former. And I choose neither if I don't need the money at all.
For the optimisation, the compiler will even reason that e.g. iterating over the vector necessarily involves knowing the size of the vector and stopping before the end, so it doesn't need to add the bounds check at all because that's redundant. This is easier in Rust because the compiler knows nobody else can be mutating this vector while you're iterating over it - that's forbidden in the language.

So, in general, the idiomatic Rust "twiddle all these doodads" compiles to the same machine code as the idiomatic C++ for that problem, even though Rust bounds checked it and C++ didn't care. Lots of Rust checks are like this, they compile away to nothing, so long as what you did is necessarily correct. The Option<NonZeroU64> stuff a few days ago is another example. Same machine code as a C++ long integer using zero as a signal value, but with type safety.
That's a pretty current view of Chinese national policy, actually, so it doesn't come as a surprise at all. From what I recall, Liu takes a party line; I believe he defended their treatment of Uyghurs in recent interviews, for example.

Not a problem as long as it only affects the user themself?

I have a question if someone can help with

We talk about recycling, I'm concerned that it's the same chatter as we had from the plastic companies in the 80-90s who invented the reduce reuse recycle slogan so that they could get away with selling more plastic, when its much cheaper to produce new plastic than recycle.

So the question is, is it cheaper to produced new batteries or recycle old ones?

I feel lithium is a transition material, until we have more sustainable battery tech.
Any examples of trivial things you've struggled with?

My Spring Boot experience is the opposite and it is usually my go-to framework when I need to get a backend up and running fast. It takes 30-50 lines of Kotlin to serve some JSON endpoints backed by a SQL database. And those lines are mostly defining the shape of the JSON response, database model, and hooking up the request route to the controller and repository. All the rest is generated, inferred or in libraries.
Watching fake detectives work in crime shows on TV, or in novels, I often keep track of what’s uncovered by brilliance and what just arrives at their door by happenstance or basic police work by others.

It’s surprising usually how little they actually figure out. It takes 2 more murders to help them along. It’s just fiction but it’s probably not far from the truth
Again, these changes aren't taking place until 2023. They are still accepting new features. Yes, everyone is aware that the developer of uBlock threw a fit. It was all over the news, and it was portrayed by the media as Chrome is disabling adblock, because that is essentially the message from
Raymond Hill at the time. I think it is good to be aware of these changes, and contribute feedback and try to get compatible or comparable APIs implemented. At no point has Google or Chromium said they are unwilling. If anything, it looked like a prime opportunity for them to scream fire when there was no fire.
Generally if you're seeing a NaN/Inf something has gone wrong, It's very difficult to gracefully recover from and if you tried I think you would lose both sanity and performance!

Regarding performance, the cost of a real division is about 3-4 orders worse performance than an if statement that is very consistent, but the usual way is to have fast/safe versions of functions, where you need performance and can deduce if something is always/never true, create/use the fast function but by default everything uses the slower/safer function.
> With the anemic sales of the last two generations of mini iPhone

The 13 mini just came out less than a month ago. How do you have data for its sales?

The 12 mini was announced 5 months after the 2020 SE, which itself was announced 4 years after the previous smaller phone, the 2016 SE. I suspect many people, like myself, who waited years for a new smaller phone jumped on the 2020 SE when we would have purchased a 12 mini instead.
Well, Three Body Problem was written for a Chinese audience, by a Chinese author, so I suspect the characters would be more relatable to a Chinese audience.

I was just trying to provide people with the correct facts, as you've confirmed yourself, they have entered the game and are ramping up to be a marketplace, with already having 100 3rd party sellers onboarded and more to come, and even hinting that they might open application forms in the future.
That’s a pretty long way around to what is essentially an appeal to authority. You’re right about the knowledge and devotion required of frontier pushers. History is full of people who challenged this thinking and completely overhauled human understanding of a topic, though, often in the face of relentless ridicule.

The error (in your telling) is equating knowledge with confidence. Knowledge is knowing you might be wrong about it all. The advice to spend one’s life questioning isn’t a smarmy nothing; it’s the only truly sensible approach when you step back and think about it.

>they would qualify for full time hours and thus benefits.

This is not how stuff works in Poland. There's no difference between full-time and part-time benefits, instead, there's a difference between employment contract (UoP) contracting (UZ, UoD) and self-employment.
I'm surprised the article, for being so thorough, doesn't have a single mention of Poetry.

Perma-locked bootloaders can be made illegal, if they prevent you, the owner of the device, from patching a security hole in your device. In essence, it's a backdoor mechanism installed by the vendor.
But couldn’t the compiler optimize out the check because you’re guaranteeing to never divide by 0, so logically count would never be 0. Akin to undefined behavior almost.
Yes it probably is only the beginning. The finnish health digitalization project Apotti which currently covers only 10 municipalities or so is already said to have cost over 700 million euros.

On new android devices in Europe, google was forced to let users select their preferred search engine from a randomized list of the 5-6 most popular options in that country. This could definitely come to browsers at some point. But then it's probably a death sentence to Firefox who needs to set Google as its search provider to survive.

Obviously, the meridian of Paris.

The importance of the meridians was determined by the publications, e.g. nautical almanacs, which were issued by the astronomical observatories located on those meridians.

Prior to the establishment of a unique origin for meridians, the navigators were divided in those who used nautical almanacs from the Royal Observatory of Greenwich, those who used nautical almanacs from the "Observatoire de Paris" and so on, for almanacs from other less important observatories.

All observatories published coordinates based on their own meridian (which was precisely where their meridian telescope was located).
In the real world, Firefox is already dead and the only real competing browser engine is Webkit/Safari.

I thought it was the strong equivalence principle in general relatively, or the (nameless?) assumption that the same laws of physics hold true everywhere.

Regardless, my question was about the part of the quote which said: "which we now know as wrong."

What aspect of the cosmological principle, strong equivalence principle, or the universal application of physical law do we now know to be be wrong?

I really dislike this comparison. I see it everywhere in privacy communities and I think it should die. That comparison doesn't give anything to the other person. Amazon provides a service whilst violating privacy. The person gets something out from having their privacy violated. Hence the reply "it improves my search results". Your comparison would mean they have their privacy violated, they lose access to their phone for a day, and they get nothing to compensate. Change the comparison to give me your phone for a day and I'll give you £1000 and suddenly you'll get far more different answers.
