I heard somewhere, Intel is quite extensively helping small projects with hardware/board design. I assume that’s the reason they started with Intel (apart from AMD chip sourcing in the last 1 - 2 years), and if that’s the case, they may not have the actual capabilities to make an AMD/ARM board on their own yet - not a matter of wanting to. I doubt this a about a preference for Intel over AMD at all, otherwise. Especially with their target audience.

Considering how well their first machines are received, how outstanding their public image holds, I am sure they will not have troubles hiring passionate talent. Management, values, making an arguably thoughtful and desirable product, … seems like a dream job, when you work in that niche, no?
I read a lot of companies buy advertising specifically for their own name, because if they don't, a competitor will, and will appear first when someone googles the company name.

It is my experience that two things correlate positively with widespread adoption of biking:

a. Relatively flat city terrain. (Not the case in Prague, for example; a lot of the residential areas are at much higher elevation than the city centre.)

b. Moderate temperatures at both ends of the summer-winter scale. Most people won't bike to work at -20 or +35 Celsius.
What did you expect? Microsoft labeling their data collection actions as "spyware" themselves? "Spyware" is a term used by people who oppose data collection, they didn't ask for. "Telemetry" is an euphemism by the ones that build this data collection into their apps.
This kind of rhetoric is problematically naive.

Advertising effectiveness is often vague, but it also works well in many circumstances.

It takes a certain kind of hubris to suggest that all these companies spending $500B on advertising have no idea what they are doing, and that if only they listened to HN/Reddit they could save so much money and make the world a better place.

The issue here is to what extent G has manipulated their own auctions for their own benefit, and what kind of anti-competitive actions the relationship with FB amounts to.

Plus don’t forget the tramlines and the roads and the canals. Amsterdam is sure exciting to walk around :)
Well I imagine so. But it still means google management decided to fund (relatively expensive) top notch research just to act as a front for their criminal operation.
Another thing I only noticed when I visited Amsterdam - it's scary for pedestrians.

Compared to what? Los Angeles? Cairo?

Less sarcastically: I get your point, but it's a tradeoff. It's a beautifully car-free (and just plain beautiful and eminently livable) city otherwise. Yes, you do have to be careful about the bikes (as one must with cars, buses, and trucks, motorbikes and scooters just about anywhere else) -- but wherever you go, you pick your battles.

Your vapid comment is even lower effort than this canned response.
Nope. It's not that it's ought to be believed. The thing, in general, is that you always make a choice with your beliefs and decisions. When you make a decision (vaccinate or not to vaccinate, wear a mask, don't wear a mask) then you choose between two options and in the end who you believe.

A lot of people like to formulate this for themselves as being open and not accepting some kind of "dogma". Which sounds good, you stay open, what do you have to lose? (BTW, accepting the scientific consensus doesn't mean that you can't change your mind when new information comes in, but that's a tangent.)

But the thing is that when you have to make a decision then you have to accept some claims as being true (for at least the duration of making the decision). And that's when you have to ask yourself (as a layperson): who is more likely to be right? Which model is going to be more close to the reality? Science, the majority of scientists or some random dude? (Including maybe those few seemingly legit scientists who "speak up" in social media stating that all other scientists have gone completely wrong, including virologists and epidemiologists. But that one bloke is right.) And can that solo dude be right in theory? Yes, of course. Is he likely to be right? Well, looking back at the history of science it's rare, it doesn't last too long (until others realize and change their opinion) and it's getting more rare (as the scientific method evolves).

So yeah, no burden of proof on anyone, just a meaningful strategy for those outside of the field (any given field). Those doing research should always prove they are right. But, to get back to the original topic, that's not done in social media. That's done in scientific publications through peer reviewed papers. And, of course, the scientific consensus itself is supported by those so talking about shifting the burden of proof makes no sense at all. The proof is there for the consensus. That's the point.
Simple explanation: Most people are uninformed and irrational.
> Is this happening to people who have been vaccinated, or unvaccinated? Or both?

This seems to be related to the severe cases of the infection. However it's not certain in milder cases, that is it may still be the case. Also the neural damage may be reversible (observed for hamsters).

Obviously, the key here is to survive it first.

Vaccination, when effective, is supposed to reduce the chance of a severe case of the infection.
That's part of the reason why I said fines were good. They're good both because it recovers some of the ill-gotten gains of shareholders (your point), but also because it incentives better governance.

But due to agency problems, jail should be also be added on top for the most egregious violations. As an example, the HSBC execs that banked cartels should have gotten jail sentences.

Indeed. I live in a small town with ~6000 inhabitants. It’s nice and calm here. But if I go 4-5 days without visiting the large nearby city I become incredibly restless.
Awesome. Its crazy how much red tape, legal costs, etc they got from the town and state. We would have thousands of these up if people where free from all the regulations which are really just propping up high tax revenue, low nature designs.
I live in NL a few years back, and when I asked a colleage about buying a bike he said: 'just go to central Amsterdam and wait for one of the [slang word for tracksuited petty thief I can't remember] to speak to you. They'll ask you what you want, even what colour, and bring something back within 15 minutes for €50 (or whatever)'.

A downside of everyone cycling there is that bike theft is absolutely rife.
I'm saying this potentially without base, but I interpret them as making the distinction of 'infected with Covid-19' vs 'having Sars-Cov-2 in your body'. They're not exactly equal, and that distinction potentially drives how asymptomatic spread happens.
You are right - That’s another practice is morally dubious (And imo should be outlawed!)

Say we want to factor 163123711, N=163123711.

Before we start the algorithm, we have to choose a number to start our algorithm with. A good pick for the first number that we want to start our algorithm with, is a number that is higher than N and has many different factor pairs, of which the difference of the factor pair is lower N. For example 6469693230 has 512 factor pairs, of which 489 pairs that are lower than N(https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/math/factors.php).

79534 × 81345 = 6469693230

79373 × 81510 = 6469693230

...

This means that 6469693230 contains 489 possible combinations for c.

(a+c)x(a):

(79534+1811) x 79534 = 6469693230

(79373+2137) x 79373 = 6469693230

...

First we write down all the c's possible.

c = 1811

c = 2137

...

After this we start the algorithm with our first number "6469693230":
6469693230 % 163123711 = 107868501

Now because we know that 1x107868501 = 107868501, we know the c of the number we left with, 107868501-1 = 107868500.

c = 107868500

Does 107868500 match the c's we had written down?

(a+c) x a - (b+c) x b

(79534+1811) x 79534 - (1+107868500) x 1; c is not the same (1811 is not 107868500).

(79534+2137) x 79534 - (1+107868500) x 1; c is not the same
(2137 is not 107868500).

...

Not at all? We try a different number than 6469693230

If it matches, you can calculate the factors. If you try it with 6469693230, you have a chance of 489/163123711 =
around 1 in 333587 chance that you can factor it.

Your pain points are real, but incidentally not relevant to me. Since I've been using FF nightly fulltime for a while I restart the browser (with session restore of course) quite regularly, mostly every day.

And I have the option enabled to confirm when closing multiple tab. Mostly because I sometimes hit Ctrl-Q by accident. Because conveniently, the "nuke everything" shortcut is situated right between the two most used shortcuts: Ctrl-W and Ctrl-Tab... :|

So yeah, I happen to not be affected by this particular problem :P

Good stuff.

Once note though, line wrapping on mobile is very awkward for me. The pre-wrapped lines are longer than fit in my viewport, so I end up with all these left over stubs each spilling onto a short subsequent every-other line.

This actually seems like a hard problem to solve? If you just don't pre-wrap lines, then mobile is better, but desktop may end up showing way too many characters per line. But at least the user is on control then, and they can resize their window however they like. Wikipedia has no max-width set, and people deal with it well enough...

Is there any other non-HTML/CSS option?
This sounds unlikely to be true, given that getting the vaccine increases your risk of myocarditis (i.e. there's some effect on the heart muscle). Or maybe there's just some (small) percentage of cases where the spike proteins escape into the bloodstream.

Unless they accidentally hit a vein and inject the vaccine directly into the bloodstream, anecdotal evidence[0] points to this for young men who get myocarditis. They often report tasting saline in their mouth shortly after the injection.

It's not very useful right now because the Ethereum Virtual Machine has no I/O. It only works with data from its own blockchain. There's some projects trying to bridge that gap and bring real world data to the virtual machine but so far nothing's materialized yet.

I'm sceptical about the value proposition of this without seeing much more than a simple example that offers little over existing hypermedia+json/csv practices.

If a compact columnar representation is what you're after to avoid having to repeat every field name in an array of objects (which CSV is good for) but you don't want to give up the ability to include metadata in your JSON, there are a ton of different ways for structure your document to solve this issue without inventing new document formats.

Also this example is unclear (possibly ambiguous?); how is "int" as a type for the "age" column distinguished from "street", "city", etc as what I assume are field names?

The big tech companies (and more) act as a cartel, doing things for each other to kick out smaller rivals or just censor and deplatform people and groups they don't like. This is just evidence that it's more than wink-and-nod deals, which I think most of us suspected anyway.

Social media, search, payment processors, hosting sites... they all work in lockstep for the benefit of the cartel. We lose privacy, opportunity, and freedom and these companies gain more power.

There needs to be a bigger crackdown on the power that these companies hold, and not just when some documents happen to leak. America is in the best position to do this theoretically, but neither head of the American uniparty even pretends like they're going to do anything about it.

I think you already know it and mentioned it, but definitely try to get in somewhere via friends or acquaintances, if possible.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I think it's just a matter of finding some organization where you will be recognized and appreciated for having a lot of experience. Some places simply don't understand that, and will only be looking for whether you have the specific skills required. They may not understand that you've seen tech fads arise, become skilled in them, and then watched them become unfashionable.
I can't remember that far back - it would have been over 40 years ago when I was an undergrad.

Lo and behold, blog.txt has powerful fulltext search: your computer's built in
search engine is much better than most blog search engines. Just hit CTRL+F
and type "skipping over all the sourdough". Because it's all one page, you can
find anything almost instantly, just using your browser's page search.

Or you can skip the web browser altogether, and read my blog as it was meant

Keep in mind that software doesn't need to be open source to run on Linux. Developers can still support the Linux ecosystem by creating/porting proprietary software for Linux, and users will consider it when they choose an OS.

Examples of proprietary Linux software that is used professionally:

- Bitwig Studio (digital audio workstation): https://www.bitwig.com/overview/

> Or the reboot they were forced to do in Kotlin/Native because it wasn't originally designed to be compatible with JVM semantics.

sigh

Yeah. BUT! I am very bullish on Kotlin. Think it's probably the most exciting language evolving right now.

I went on a few-tweet minirant here about why:

https://twitter.com/GavinRayDev/status/1443279425311805440

But the tl;dr is that:

- There is Jetpack Compose currently, for Desktop, Web, and Android

- And Kotlin Native putting a large portion of resources into Skia bindings (JetBrains calls the lib "Skiko" https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko)

It's very clear (and there are some employees which have confirmed this IIRC) that they are working on "Jetpack Compose Everywhere" that runs on iOS as well, from a single codebase. Skiko Kotlin Native lets you use Skia to render on the web as well, if you compile to WASM target.

There's the big Kotlin event going on right now, where they just announced the new WASM backend and changes in their compiler + IR commonizing/restructuring ("K2").

- https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2021/10/the-road-to-the-k2...

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pqz9sKXatw

The net result is that you wind up with a single language that you can use to write your backend API, your UI code (Jetpack Compose app deployed across Web/Android/iOS/Mac/Win/Linux, or transpile to JS/TS if you just want a web app, etc) and with Kotlin Native even your native, low-level code to integrate with existing C/C++ etc ecosystem.

KN already does automatic bindgen for C and Swift headers, they have direct C++ interop (like Swift does) on their future roadmap too:

(Ctrl+F "interoperability")

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/roadmap.html#roadmap-details

All of this is mostly possible already -- I can do the same thing using IE Java, GraalVM, and a transpiler like Google's j2cl or bck2brwser (which is what Gluon uses for JavaFX on the web). Including the "native" part.

IE, here's a contribution I made to get GraalVM producing native binaries using Skia from the JVM + JNI Jetbrains Skia library (and even invoking my Java app methods as a .dll from C++)

https://github.com/HumbleUI/JWM/issues/158

But Kotlin is pushing the hardest to make this whole platform/stack from native <-> desktop <-> mobile <-> browser a seamless, unified experience.

And you can feel it, when you try to do the "whole stack, every platform, one language" thing.

Sorry for the rant and wall of text!
That is a ridiculous strawman if I have ever seen one. There are MANY reasons to be critical of Firefox's development.

What about them putting ads in the URL bar suggestions? What about them (temporarily) putting ads into the new tab page that you couldn't opt out of? What about them removing the ability to customize the new tab page? What about them making it all but impossible to install your own (unsigned) browser extensions?

The complaints about the UI are that they also made it impossible to customize, not that the defaults are asinine (which they are).
It's not about censoring the opinions in general. Again, it's about censoring fake news on social media. Nobody wants to censor research (I know it's more complicated, because of what gets funded and what not) or publishing in peer reviewed papers. Heck, as a result of the pandemic, peer reviews got even quicker and a lot of research gets publicity when they get on pre-print servers (i.e. pre-review)! That doesn't sound like claiming monopoly on the truth to me.

You could argue that social media is an important outlet for new scientific ideas, results and discoveries but then you'd have to prove that not censoring there and letting the fakes run wild adds more value than the harm caused by the fakes. And the we know that the latter effect exists. I'd say that even if there is added value here (TBH, I don't see it at all), it's overwhelmed by the harm. Any scientifically valuable contribution that is only spread through the social media will be lost in the noise of nonsense.

This headline excited me but then I read their website. It's an electron-like file manager that tries to do too many things instead of focusing on the core feature of tagging.

I had a product plan once upon a time that included a filesystem driver to let you browse using tags eg. c:\tags\my project. That would make it work in all your existing software and file dialogs.

The hierarchical nature of traditional filesystems is great when you want to "visit" everything (eg. browse through a folder to clean it up, enumerate to backup, calculate sizes, etc). But it's a constraint when you need to categorize a file in more than one place (eg. receipts / project X / resin purchases / March credit card expenses).

Windows has a tagging feature but nobody really uses it - it's exposed in Explorer, but not the Save dialog of most apps (another thing the envisioned product was supposed to fix).
