Tourism is for the largest part an extremely low value added activity, for which location is the most important factor. So the owner of the hotel makes millions and everybody else makes peanuts.

The very last thing we should work hard to achieve is turning cities into major tourist destinations.

>I am a leftist.

We know.

>I see nothing wrong with this proposal (I mean, I proposed it, right?).

No problem with denying illegal immigrants student IDs because they have to be at the same standards required for other voting IDs? Awesome, glad we agree.

>Illegal immigrants going to CC wishing to pay resident rates will have to prove their residency just like everyone else, as is the current situation.

Correct, except now they'll have to prove lawful presence, and residency if they are to be the same standard as other voter IDs. They can't prove lawful presence because they immigrated illegally, so my point stands.

>I don't see an issue with that. Do you?

Not at all! Tax money for citizens and legal immigrants should absolutely not go to illegal immigrants. No issues here, glad we agree.

>Which is fraud and can be detected and caught easily.

Apparently not. There are hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants defrauding the government by using other's social security numbers, etc. and it's been tough to stop it.

>If legislatures wanted to fortify the requirements to make them more uniform across counties they could have. They didn't. And it's telling.

They did... What are you talking about? This is a state standard that is the same across all counties. It's telling that you have absolutely no clue here.

>Shot down?

Yes, national IDs, voter ID laws are continuously shot down by Democrats, or are tampered in committees etc.

>You mean free as long as their time is worthless, right?

Just like voting, buying a gun, etc. It's not 100% free in time to exercise your rights.

>Because they already have an ID that should qualify,

Except they don't, as I have laid out above. Student IDs are not valid practically anywhere for identification such as airplanes, bars, buying alcohol, purchasing firearms, etc.

>but doesn't because of "reasons"

Yes, "reasons", also known as "uncomfortable facts that go against the narrative."

>Where those reasons are vague and unsupported by fact and evidence.

Those reasons are well defined and support by facts, logic, and evidence.

>After all, we have no evidence so far to support the idea that students are committing widespread voter fraud.

Thankfully because they're not allowed to use their student IDs, glad we're treating them like normal citizens.

>Republicans can't seem prove such a thing is happening despite decades of searching for it (gee, maybe because it's not happening).

Cool, same how there haven't been illegal weapons purchases with student IDs because they're not allowed for that either. Glad the Republicans are being consistent.
If I had one of these machines, I would not be using that port at my desk.

However, I would be using it in every conference room I use, multiple times daily. It’s the difference between plugging in the cable vs. finding the right dongle that’s security-cabled to the presenter cable, and connecting it in the middle.
Looking at the videos, that appears to be exactly what they did. That makes total sense for not breaking existing apps but now I'm curious whether developers can opt-in to use the space around the notch in full screen mode.
I wonder where the cutoff is. Would it be reasonable to fear someone who knows 2000 kicks, practiced 5 times each?
M1 air and not at all feeling this way.

The original M1 pro had a touchbar, that alone make it suck. But the M1 is still thinner by a mile and has no fan!

Many people overlook this but no fan means no dirt will get into the chasis. That is HUGE.
See, this is why you have kids. Now my kid gets my M1 Air, and I get a M1 Max!
It's the smaller ad networks and obscure sites that are more likely to have malware sneak into the ads, though, so it's safer to block everything.
Lack of functional fractional scaling is what makes me want to switch to Windows or Windows+VM or Windows + ssh to compile.
Not sure what you classify as expensive.
I have this Proteus unit: https://www.fitnesszone.com/product/PROTEUS.html

~$1,500, and it calculates via the flywheel, not seat movement.

Not sure how much distance I have on it, it doesn't hold stats after a power reset. I'd guess around 1M meters after several years, but I usually only get to use it about once a week on average. Rowing is usually Tuesdays on my M-F workout circuit.
Pointless? They had to bring out a new version due to the TPM 2.0 requirement. They could not possibly put that into Windows 10, because millions of devices don't have TPM 2.0.

The rest is just everything around this one thing that requires a version upgrade compared to just adding it to Windows 10.
I don't even know what RISC or CISC means anymore. They're bad, non-descriptive terms. 30 years ago, RISC or CISC meant something, but not anymore.

Today's CPUs are pipelined, out-of-order, speculative, superscalar, (sometimes) SMT, SIMD, multi-core with MESI-based snooping for cohesive caches. These words actually have meaning (and in particular, describe a particular attribute of performance for modern cores).

RISC or CISC? useful for internet flamewars I guess but I've literally never been able to use either term in a technical discussion.

-------

I said what I said earlier: this M1 Pro / M1 Max, and the ARM Neoverse cores, are missing SMT, which seems to come standard on every other server-class CPU (POWER9, Intel Skylake-X, AMD EPYC).

Neoverse N1 makes up for it with absurdly high core counts, so maybe its not a big deal. Apple M1 however has very small core counts, I doubt that Apple M1 would be good in a server setting... at least not with this configuration. They'd have to change things dramatically to compete at the higher end.
Ok. Now do heavy metals.

Having shit magically go away by itself is such a massive plus.

Imagine how contaminated that part of the world would be if Chernobyl released equally dangerous (like remediation workers dying in the same amount of time) levels of thallium.
Or programmer. We don't need that much juice really.

If our stuff makes M1 runs slow ... It's probably poorly optimized code.

Of course game dev is exempt from this.
Pretty big mistake there, it's 5% heavier, not 9%.

That's why the 2015 Macbook Pro I'm writing this on is still running Mojave.
So, this is just a pilot project, and he's actually trying to fund the research center. I'm pretty sure that's why he was willing to spend so much time with me on this project.

The big thing is that each farmer or region needs to be experimenting to see what works there, since every place is different (climate, land management history, culture, resources, etc), and things are always changing.

The universities mostly do the commodity crop research. You're definitely right that Quinn is ahead of that system. It seems like we need other structures to support more forward-thinking work like his, whether it's private equity, nonprofit or something else.
I remember when the blood nurses found out I was cytomegalovirus free (rare, most people are infected at birth). I suddenly became a very valuable donor- my blood could be given to immunocompromised children.

This was around the same time I was doing research into viruses. Herpesvirus is... well, it's an entire world of amazing viruses that are really scary.
Thanks for the links, maybe I can still find the Meccano sets I used to have.. Should be interesting for those who want to mix and match with 3D prints.
I'm in a bit of a minority in most discussions in that I enjoyed Heretics and Chapterhouse for the galactic scale threat introduced and additional world building elements, and I even enjoyed (to some extent) Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson as a "best we could do" finale. I do think that the time skips and lack of original resolution hampered Heretics and Chapterhouse a little, and the ones written by Frank Herbert's son and someone I consider more of a "session" writer (akin to session musicians) were carried by momentum of story alone. The writing of Hunters/Sandworms had a significant decline in complexity, and Frank Herbert's writing wasn't exactly difficult prose to begin with.

One of the greatest tragedies to me is that the notes for the finale were not given to someone like Alastair Reynolds or Kim Stanley Robinson, both of whom I think would have done the material proper literary justice.
Having no battery on your headphone when you want to use it right now is extremely frustrating indeed.

However headphones with 50+ hours of playing time actually exist nowadays. And this makes life so much easier. Besides that I bought one of those charging cables where the tip is detachable[0] and use that to charge my headphone.

Even on linux things mostly works! Just remember to restart your machine after every system update and don't move your headset between devices. I only use linux so I don't know how true is that statement for other environments.

If you really need to use the same headphone for multiple devices you should look for a wired solution.

All in all I don't think wireless headphones have a worse user experience, it is just a tradeoff. And to be clear, both my headphones and my smartphone have a p2 jack. This is what I call having a cake and eating it too.

> then your net worth is still 20,000. Yes, you have 80,000 in debt, but you own an asset worth 100,000.

No you have 20% ownership of an asset that is worth $100,000. The bank owns the other 80% of that asset. When you pay your mortgage every month you are essentially buying a portion of their stake in your house. At the end of the mortgage they will own 0% and you will own 100%.

> Agree- I have been largely disappointed by USB-C. It's been okay as a smaller USB-A replacement for flash drives and mice, but in general the lesson of USB-C is: just because it fits, doesn't mean it works.

I think USB-C works fine (h/t Benson Leung) but the implementation is problematic. Partly because of the complexity of everything they've tried to shove in, also partly because USB-A still exists and is the biggest competitor USB-C needs to overcome.

Give it 5 more years and we'll look at USB-A like serial ports. Till then, USB-A is legion.
Interesting. I can't speak to the Pro, but my M1 MBA camera didn't* seem any different from the one in my 2013 MBP. If this camera is actually better than the C920, that's pretty cool.

Does anyone know how an iPad Pro camera compares? I'm guessing that'll be a decent indicator of what the new MacBook hardware is like.

*: I use the past tense because the camera lasted about a month before it randomly died. Now the camera light is always on (or at least it was before I taped over it) and the OS no longer recognizes it. (None of which I really mind, since I was planning to tape over it either way.)
I remember naively asking on the Mac forums once, whether there was any way to have the laptop lid closed in Mac OS without putting the laptop to sleep.

Of course not, I was told. Apple's laptops use a superior thermal design, which could damage the laptop if the lid is closed while it's left running. Who would want to do that anyway? Better to have good cooling.

I didn't even bother to reply and mention the fact that my Windows install on the same laptop allowed it without complaint.
If a blik is an "unfalsifiable but meaningful worldviews", I don't see how this applies to certain prominent conspiracy theories. It is easy to verify that a particular pizza parlor does or doesn't have a basement, for example.
Can you define developer productivity? Before you can measure something you need to have a definition. Measuring PRs and commits is like measuring a writer’s productivity by how many sheets of paper they use.

A useful metric might be derived from business value added vs. cost of programming effort, but then how well can the organization measure business value? Or the cost of programmer effort?
I see them on Google maps, so they must meet some sort of state approval or they are breaking the law.

How much water was in it? That's the only way to change resistance on the one that I have. How did you change the resistance for the one in the gym?

FWIW, my resting heart rate is now in the 50s, and I get my heart rate up to between 150bpm and 170bpm, depending on how hard I push.

EDIT: My ex wife had a hard time getting her heart rate up on a rower. She'd be miserable and out of breath, but her HR never got up above 120 or so.. I never figured out what the problem was. I always thought it was too much resistance, but changing the resistance is a pain, so she just moved on to other exercises..
What the heck is "Leverage"? What are MIRI and CFAR??

I tried reading the article, but it seemed like I had landed in some parallel universe, as I'd never heard of these outfits or people.
It concludes with,

"EDIT/UPDATE: I got a chance to talk to Vassar, who disagrees with my assessment above. We're still trying to figure out the details, but so far, we agree that there was a cluster of related psychoses around 2017, all of which were in the same broad part of the rationalist social graph. Features of that part were - it contained a lot of trans women, a lot of math-y people, and some people who had been influenced by Vassar, although Vassar himself may not have been a central member. We are still trying to trace the exact chain of who had problems first and how those problems spread. One central node was a person called Olivia who apparently claimed she was deliberately trying to cause breakdowns in other people she was close to. Other people don't seem to have been directly linked to Olivia, so something else must have been going on. I still suspect that Vassar unwittingly came up with some ideas that other people, including Olivia and Ziz, then spread. Vassar still denies this and is going to try to explain a more complete story to me when I have more time."

Now, I may be crazy and I'll proudly admit to "infinitely corrupt", but, geeze, I'm glad I'm not that crazy.

I further note that "years ago" as mentioned in the various posts and comments is ~2017, or as those of us who are no longer in our 20s like to think of it, "last Thursday."
But should it really be big tech's responsibility to triage? If so, based on what information? The CDC? WHO? Then what happens if a doctor on the frontline wants to disagree with one particular aspect of the "authoritative source" information, posts their discoveries on Facebook/Youtube, and is censored because it was classified as misinformation? That would effectively mean the government is suppressing speech.

Sounds fine and dandy as long as you, the consumer of information, is aligned with the authoritative sources, but history has shown time in and time out that regimes change and that power is intoxicating and that those that want suppressed speech can eventually become the suppressed.

Nobody says this better IMO than Ira Glasser who led the ACLU from '78-2001 and defended the rights of Nazi's to march. Check out the documentary Mighty Ira.
While I haven't tried it out yet, I have to say I very much like the idea, and the article is very clear and well-written. Nicely done!
Microsoft contributing to the burning up of the planet.. in a few years they'll EOL Windows 10 and millions of fast-enough computers will become e-waste because people will be too lazy to learn Linux.
this is mostly wrong. The real issue has always been memory bandwidth. the highest end consumer x86 CPU has about the same memory bandwidth as a dGPU from 10 years ago. The M1 is extremely competitive with modern dGPUs, only a bit behind a 6900 XT.
That's probably what people want anyway. Targeted surveillance is much more acceptable than blanket surveillance.

Anybody can sue for any reason. Doesn't mean they will win.

Companies give lots of money to all kinds of causes that have no possibility of any financial return. Apple isn't special in this regard and they aren't getting sued for it.
FWIW, you can do both. They're not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, the evidence here is mostly anecdotal but, while we’re trading anecdotes, I think you have to distinguish Smalltalk/Clojure/Common Lisp from other dynamic languages. Most dynamic language essentially work like statically-typed languages without typechecking: you put code in a file and then run it all at once (or run unit tests) and see what happens. The languages I mention actually bring your development environment to runtime (twisted manhole and pry are the closest things I can think of here) so, you don’t have to run the whole thing, you can just run the parts you care about and see what they do.

That being said, my experience isn’t the same: I’ve been able to make helpful changes to dynamically-typed codebases in roughly the same amount of time as to static codebases. I’ve never really identified what it is about how I approach code that makes a difference here, but I think it is because I think about changes in terms of operational equivalence (e.g. l.map(a).map(b) === l.map(compose(b, a)) ) rather than in terms of data types.
Exactly. I was not just trying to be a jerk. Their analogy was actually a good one, they just used it incorrectly. Ice cream is only ice cream in a certain range of ice to cream ratios, just like a charge needs a "close enough" mix of voltage and amps for it to reach useful wattage (depending on the device).
Well, 2021 might be the year of the Linux Desktop afterall.
While the UK does have a sort-of constitution as a mashup of laws and conventions it can be amended by the government of the day by simply convincing their majority in the commons to vote for it in the form of a new bill, so it's considerably weaker than constitutions in other states that require significantly more consensus to amend (such as the USA).

Commonaccord.org – Application to YC 2022W
I applied again to YC as an NFP. Did that some years ago, perhaps now is ripe. The goal is to sort out governance of an open source approach to legal documents, and to transacting generally. In the intervening years since the first application, have benefitted from work with MIT Connection Science, EU Commission, Harvard Berkman-Klein, Stanford CodeX. And now also Metagov.org (presentation with Megan Ma). YC could be a fabulous place to work out what parts of an open transacting system need governance in a "Centre for Decentralised Law" (#DecentLaw). It could also be a user - as demonstrated with the example of the Safe Note, above.

I guess you're not wrong, but the author does compare the rower to running. No knee or hip issues with rowing. Less injuries would improve on consistency.

If someone did bring up setting a fitness challenge, I'd say buy a rower over treadmill or bike. Rowing does add more of a full body workout over bike.
School children in the US are often required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance[0] as part of the routine to start the school day.

(1) seems best solved by having a 'on heavy task, publish to a secondary topic'. This is good if you have flaky messages that need to be retried in the background, without blocking all of your 'good' messages.

(2) this problem should be avoided in general by just having idempotent services. Just as a hard restriction, forever, build services to be idempotent. It should be the exception to have a non-idempotent service, and it should be carefully understood.

That said, if you have (1) as a consistent issue, like if every message is flaky, kafka isn't the right solution. Postgres-based queues are perfect for this because you can examine the table as a whole, making more informed decisions about what you want to process (or not process).
Is GeneralPurposeAllocator the one that quarantines memory forever? That isn't practical, as I've mentioned before. To name one problem, allocating 1 byte in a 4kB page leaks the entire page.
That’s not true at all. If you buy the house for 100k and sell it for 200k, you walk away with 120k after paying off your mortgage. If you only owned 20%, then you would walk away with 40k. Similarly, in non-recourse states (which is most states) you are on the hook for the mortgage amount if the value of the house goes down.
You cannot prove a negative.
That's weird. What happened when you went flat-out on these machines? Did you just end up doing 200 strokes per minute with each of them having the resistance of a greased water slide? Doesn't sound like they did their job.

I have a Concept2 rowing machine at home, and even at the middle resistance setting, blacking out from going too hard is just a matter of willpower, so to speak. The resistance increases with speed.
Yeah, I suppose there are two ways to think about it: maintaining an outside dependency or offloading that dependency completely.

Guide to Educating Non Binary Students
Intel is releasing heterogeneous chips in less than a month. Both Intel and AMD bet heavily on 3d stacking and it should hold Apple off desktop. A lot of Apple advantage is due to node advantage and I expect that AMD will start getting latest nodes much sooner than now, 5nm ryzen should be able to compete with m2, Intel's own nodes should get better in few years relatively to latest TSMC nodes(they are not that much behind). But x86 will surely loose market share in the coming decade.
