> So while you're right...by not using per Capita numbers... you're presenting your data in a very disengenuous and truth distorting way.

GP actually did speak in terms of per capita numbers (hence "population share"). In absolute numbers, California would exceed Florida in old people; as shares of the population, California has (according to your second link) 14.3% of their population over age 65, while Florida has 20.5%. This works out to be Florida having about 43% more old people per capita than California. If the claim upthread that deaths per capita in Florida more than doubled that in California is accurate, then 43% more people 65 or older per capita does not explain more than 100% more deaths per capita.

> Guess what STILL less than California. Guess what positivity rate at the BOTTOM of all states.

As to your positivity rate point, I can't confidently speak to whether your argument would be valid if the data was as you said, but your data is not accurate: your link lists Florida at the bottom of all states, but it also lists them as having a 0.0% positivity rate. The latter is, unsurprisingly, not correct, and neither is the former. Going through to its listed data source [1], I calculated positivity rates (number of positive results / number of total results) for each state using the data as of October 11 [2] (filtering for "date" equal to October 11 of this year).

Using cumulative numbers ("total_results_reported"), Florida has a positivity rate of 10.4% (18th highest), California has 5.7% (44th highest). Using new results with a date of October 11 ("new_results_reported"), Florida is doing better than earlier: only 4.6% positive (42th highest). Still twice California's 2.1% (53rd, below every other state and every US territory, but ahead of the District of Columbia).

The Working Principles of 2FA (2-Factor Authentication) Software

There are some online retailers that have pretty good prices.
>"...billions of animals are systematically tortured. But nobody cares..."

Many people do care, and show it in various ways, from paying extra for free-range eggs, to going vegetarian or vegan. I agree with the other commenter that you're being overly cynical.

Right a review for the MB pro 2026:

The new USB-Cs allow you to transmit power and data. The fingerprint reader gives you an extra layer of security and saves you from constantly typing in new passwords. The one complaint is the [some peripheral that goes bad]

The joke is they go around in a cycle and everyone notes with a mix of praise and nostalgia how things have changed.
Interesting comment regarding voting with your wallet and choosing Apple for the software. The hardware guys seems really unhappy with Apple's "walled garden".
I've been playing around with the edge TPU on a coral.ai board. It's very impressive - I'm able to do real time object detection at tens of frames per second vs one frame every 15 or so seconds on my CPU.
This will get downvoted immediately but what the heck.

I understand we need better representation for people of color in many places - but dang Google, not a single white guy on the Pixel 6 page [0]?? Dozens of photos of people, not one white male. Sort of jarring in the reverse if you ask me.

Edit: Because the common reply to mine seems to be "Well now you know how it feels white man!" - I'd like to mention that I don't think it's good to exclude any group. I'm not sure why it's OK to vastly prefer one group for representation over another when the focus lately is on fair representation of everyone? And finally, to those who say "I'm surprised you even noticed" - everything in the media where I live is about race and skin color - literally to the point where the narrative is that so-called "color blindness" is not desirable - so it's something I'm beaten over the head with daily.
The phone numbers generated for testing were in South America, but the app can block anywhere in the world from any country in the world, including UK. That stuff blocked random phones on the globe, if that is not clear enough.
> I would not call Leetcode questions puzzles in the same sense, yet many questions do require some foreknowledge of having seen the question to get to the optimal solution.

Agreed. So far what I've observed is that once you understand dynamic programming, memoization and tree traversal you're set to solve a lot of the leetcode style questions. However every once in a while you encounter a question such as "add two binary numbers without using mathematical operators" which essentially expects you to xor two binary numbers and then determine the cary using a shift operator. I'd argue that this is similar to the Mount Fuji question.
I do wish one of those USB-C ports was a USB-A port. I still need adapters multiple times a week.

Maybe you're being ironic, but it sounds like you're whining... there are "other" Walmart shares, nowdays it's easier and cheaper to buy them...there are houses which'll appreciate in value (most? do) but wealth does have that bad habit of holding you still, those shares need researching, the house repairing... and anyway I'm sure you prefer to travel...

I never did understand why people keep up with their 9/5 5 days a week (and in Europe a month holiday ) when they could save more, spend less (on heating) by heading south in the winter... in a way the most important thing people from the west have is their passport which (unfairly) allows them pretty much freedom to travel anywhere...and a basic salary which would cover a years expenses for a couple months of work...
In my experience working through the first few chapters, I'll say that the attack game framework is pretty standard across lots of course materials from universities (at least the ones that I've found posted online). One thing that is not consistent is the notation used; it seems like there are multiple competing (but essentially equivalent) sets of notations used in attack game/advantage discussions.

If they know everything about the data going in and coming out it's still useless.

Also what important APIs did they axe now?
Well if you go high-enough resolution, then you can scale the display and it will be big enough to read, but also much sharper. You want integer scaling though, otherwise you get unclean lines, weird "rounding" errors, etc. On my 2880x1800 macbook, 2x scaling gets me 1440x900 apparent resolution, perfectly sharp and very readable. If you've got a 4K screen, you can do 2x scaling to get 1080. If you've got 8K… well then I suppose you can do 3x scaling to get 1440p. Now I'd like to see that.
There was not a single observation. The star followed a complex trajectory.
I think that there's a conflict of interests somewhere, consider that according to the data 50% of US population owns stock, 80% of the high income population, consider that US retirement funds like 401k are directly dependent on how Inc. perform, I am not sure this is not a bullshit, but I think US in general doesn't like fines to companies and I think one reason might be this direct interest of the population in the corporations revenues

There is no "predictable tactic" for being a successful entrepreneur.
I don’t know about that but if there was a quality headphone that limited how loud my kid can play things and stopped spikes of loud audio during the loud parts of movies I would buy it today.
You could make the same argument that names aren't inclusive -- after all, not everyone can say "Jean Valjean" but "24601" is universal, right?

It doesn't really matter, but it's weird reasoning. Cutesy touches like the dessert names help humanize tech company products and anchor them in reality. It's a shame to give it up because we can't find universal desserts, which is a strange claim to make anyway -- wouldn't anybody, anywhere, appreciate a marshmallow? Why not pick some foreign desserts from unappreciated countries to bring attention to them, instead of abandoning the concept entirely?
One can dispute the facts of the article, but the quoted sentence specifically says 'lucrative'.
From what I watched of the presentation, there was also a fair bit of moving around. In my studio, we primarily used it as a way to hide main camera adjustments in the edit, usually from the interviewee changing positions, slouching, etc. Generally, a high enough quality production will never rely on a single camera regardless.
It is also possible that the benchmark was run on one of the slow cores.

Ryzen 9 5900X or 5950X will have a few fast cores, maybe 2 fast cores, which will run a ST task at 4.8 GHz, respectively at 4.9 GHz. If you are lucky, and more likely if you use PBO, the fast cores of your CPU might run at a slightly higher frequency, e.g. by 100 MHz, than guaranteed, especially when you have a good cooler that keeps the CPU at a low temperature.

However the rest of the cores will have a lower maximum frequency than the nominal frequency, e.g by 100 MHz or by 200 MHz.

The Linux scheduler, at least the default one, does not schedule the threads preferentially on the fast cores, so when running a ST benchmark there are more chances to run it on a slow core than on a fast core.

You can determine manually which are your fast cores, by running some single-threaded benchmark pinned successively on each core, e.g. using taskset, while monitoring the clock frequency, e.g. with turbostat.

The 1736 value looks like a normal value for a slow core. Rerunning the benchmark, but pinned on a fast core with taskset, should give on a 5950X a value not far from 1850.

I have a slower 5900X and with a memory slower than normal (only 2667) and no PBO, but I still get over 1800 on a fast core.

Does Samsung still take an eternity to do the actual updates once they're available from Goog?
You mean, setting a precedent for expansion of personal device scanning
This is essentially correct. It's a little more complicated inside, and the expansion's really more like:

SELECT device_id, arrow_run_pipeline(timevector(ts, val), arrow_add_element(sort(), arrow_add_element(delta(), arrow_add_element(abs(), sum())));

The notable difference here is that this presents a lot more optimization potential, as the entire pipeline can conceivably be applied in one pass through the table.
So when importing, we're expected to be tolerant and embrace other cultures unique qualities...

...but when exporting, we have to sanitize cultural expression so as not to confuse or offend.

This is all a bit silly.
I feel like the only complaint of the 2016 MBP was keyboard and ports. The M chips are literally a lottery at this point. Apple making their own chips is probably a rare thing in any business where the maker of a product eventually makes the most complicated part of the product themselves from scratch which only a handful of other people in the industry have managed in 2 decades. Yes iPhone chips were designed by Apple for quite some time but a general purpose computer is a lot more different than a heavily controlled App Store only device.
> As far as I am aware, there is no mechanism on iOS by which images are "automatically pulled into" iCloud photos from anywhere, Messages or otherwise.

Being disingenuous about it is still a thing though. You stated

which makes it appear that the photos are only scanned server side "like every other cloud provider". Client side scanning is something that no other provider does, in contrast to what you stated.

Oh, this is very cool. What is your company doing with the addresses? I wonder if there are applications where it's easier to get addresses than others.
I think the most important thing Node did right was shipping an official package manager/manifest format/etc. alongside the runtime, from the very beginning. There is no fragmentation; yarn exists but it's a 100% equivalent drop-in replacement. Everybody's on the same page. Check out the source, run one command, and you're ready to go.

The second most important thing they did right was install dependencies locally in the project directory. There is no global state or environment dependency (unless you go out of your way to install some tool globally). Want to do a clean install? rm -rf node_modules and you're done. The only system-wide prerequisite is a single Node installation. No environment variables, nothing.

One mistake they did make was punting on the management of different Node versions, so you have to reach for nvm and any swapping-out has to happen at a global level. Cargo made the right decision to in-house this. However, even then, in my experience it's rarely an issue because Node is so stable.
But a manual reviewer in Cupertino or elsewhere still gets access to your personal (possibly very intimate or otherwise private) photos. Privacy from law enforcement is hardly the only privacy that people value.
I don't think you can be too paranoid about container escapes. We actually don't consider containers to be a reliable security boundary - we take it where we can, but if we need real isolation it has to be combined with another approach.
Notch Pro: macOS app to draw a fake notch over your menubar
That you expect HN to work the way you want it to, instead of the way it already worked when you joined. You've been here 8 years, enough time to familiarize yourself with what's in the package. Besides that, a moderator going out of their way to mention that they have made an edit to your post, as well as specifically what edit they made is more than you could reasonably expect, and you already have that. Anything over and beyond that is pure entitlement.

Moderator time is more precious than your time, if you feel that you've been wronged then you could have just said what you thought was wrong rather than to demand a fix to your liking. This is further amplified by the fact that you have a major stake in the property whose link you posted here. Your website, your rules, HN -> HN's rules.

I've only ever had savory breakfast quiche (sometimes for brinner, I guess). Is it commonly eaten as a dessert?
with everything else equal arguing for the former is exclusionary.

Sure. But who argued for that? They merely pointed out that they considered this particular physics engine worth spending money on. The implication was that because money is typically limited for a college student, the software must really be worthwhile. The implication was not "LOL, you must be broke and can't afford good software."

Great Problems: The Economic Classes and Their Respective Plights
Is sounds like you're discussing a specific simulation hypothesis. I'm assuming you're referring to Bostrom's Simulation Argument, but that is only one possible variant of simulation. Bostrom's Simulation Argument posits that one of three propositions are likely to be true, of which only one posits that we're likely in a simulation. The "simulation proposition" of the argument could be falsified by e.g. humanity going extinct (proving the first proposition of the argument true, but the 3rd - the simulation one - to be false).

But falsifying that proposition would not falsify the notion of simulation.
> they have no history of working devices to prove themselves!

* Boot loops.

* Android updates that they push to their own phones that brick those phones or break the cameras. It is as if their engineers write code against the devices those engineers can't use to test on.

* Non-existent customer service in case the phone does go into a boot loop or update breaks the camera.
Unlike iOS where basic features like the web browser require system updates, Android is modular and updates get pushed through other channels independently of the OS itself.
CUE is really promising and the article is a good first introduction to CUE. After reading it, there are a few things that don't fully click:

* How does CUE compare with a standard structural typing system, i.e. Typescript. Specifically, what is the deep difference between

john: #Person & {
age: 29
hobbies: [
"physics",
"reading",
]
}

and

type Person = {
age: number
hobbies: string[]
}

const john: Person = {
age: 29
hobbies: [
"physics",
"reading",
]
}

* How do constraints relate with the rest of the language? Specifically, why a limited set of ad-hoc operators `>=18` / `=~ regex` vs (Scala) lambda forms `_ >= 18` / `_ =~ regex`

* Where is the line between a data language and a full fledged programming language? For example, the list package, while (intentionally?) missing map / fold, indicates a strong demand for rich list processing capabilities. https://pkg.go.dev/cuelang.org/go@v0.4.0/pkg/list

> In 1950 there were 2000 people on the assembly line. Today there are 200

I had a feeling this would get raised. The obvious retort is that the US has been creating tons of manufacturing jobs, but that due to changes in our trade regime, those jobs are generally created overseas. One could very easily imagine modifications to our existing trade regime that create incentives to employ Americans in factories, if such an outcome was desired.

Yes, factories are more automated, but factory workers globally are still a huge and growing segment of the workforce.

> I think the issue is that corporations realized training employees was a cost center and decided to outsource as much of it as possible to, as you said, ridiculously expensive universities.

As a university professor, hoo boy is that a bad bet. I have a lot of goals in the classroom, but training future employees is not one of them; and, despite the corporatist mindset of my (and I suspect most) university's administration, there is no guidance from the university that that should be a goal.

This is very common in many non-FAANG companies. The way these guys do it is to set up a third party staffing company, say X, owned by relatives and friends, then buy services (usually contractors) through this third party company. Usually, large companies have some vendor management tool. Here, the hiring manager picks candidates that come from X.

When I was working at AT&T in New Jersey, my manager always hired contractors from one third party company, which is owned by the wives of his brother (then another ATT employee) and other ATT employee. Eventually, many managers colluded with this particular third party company so much so that other third party staffing companies couldn't place any people.

So, these staffing companies complained to the Ethics department. ATT Legal started investigation, and fired my manager, his brother (another employee), another guy. They couldn't do much further due to these reasons.
(a) the staffing company is owned by the wives of the two employees
(b) the staffing company is NOT the direct vendor of ATT. The primary vendor is another entity, who takes $1 per hour per candidate.

This kind of fraud is so common in this industry.
