After factoring in all these huge fees and other hidden costs, traditional college is a better deal, and the degree is actuality valid credential, instead of a certificate, which is useless in the eyes of most employers. Plus, colleges have tons of financial aid with far less punitive repayment conditions or upfront costs.

They probably make more money with iPhones + the app store as when people would buy cameras + dumbphones. Also I'm not sure there is a big market for compact cameras.

OTOH, Apple is so flush with cash, they could start a subsidiary in any product category with nonzero margin expectation and it would be a win. So there must be fear of canibalisation or of weekening their brand.

Oh well, that's way worse than where I live in the United States, but the fact is you shouldn't have to do any of that to go anywhere.

By the way you put it your 'not affected' is actually more strict than Oregon state (which is known for having had more severe lockdowns than others).

Shows you how far the definition of 'not affected' has come. If you had told us four years ago you needed to provide medical information to enter a store, most people would have rightly been horrified. Thankfully the united states is not there yet.
I disagree, I think America in particular does like to shrug off car violence. It depends on where you live, but a consistently negligent driver can rack up 10 speeding tickets and barely get a slap on the wrist. Vehicular manslaughter charges often become minor misdemeanors if the person is "nice" enough. Regulations are lax to the point that elderly people are assumed to be competent drivers even as they descend into legal blindness. But most people are used to this status quo and shrug it off, we're addicted to car ownership at all costs.

It's pretty remarkable that now we're not only comparing Apple's SoC to the best CPUs from dedicated makers, we're comparing it to the best GPUs.

Could you qualify what you mean regarding double precision, though? nvidia consumer GPUs have pretty terrible double precision (usually in the range of 1/64th single precision). And FWIW, the normal cores in the M1 (Max|Pro) have fantastic double precision performance, and comprise the bulk of the SPECfp dominance.

Also can't overlook that for many SMS was ludicrously overpriced, but the early basic smartphones (palm and symbian) often had wifi capability; WhatsApp provided secure, ludicrously cheap instant messaging across all meaningful handsets.

And that's all it had to do; the telecoms weren't interested in making SMS cheap or secure, RIM didn't want BBM on anything but their devices, ICQ/AIM/MSN/etc were similarly unavailable.

In their eagerness to disrupt traditional education, all these programs forgot that the one single thing that makes traditional university education succesful is teaching people with aptitude and drive.

To get accepted and graduate from a reputable university you have to get good results in standardized tests and work your self through multiple courses for at least 3 years. That by itself doesn't mean anything but there's a level of rigor and self-drive required to succesfully traverse this experience.

I mentored in one of these bootcamp programs and you would be surprised how little people give a shit, even though they are paying. Most of them know that the job placement guarantee is a safeguard for their own laziness.

These programs accept people who think pursing a career in tech would be cool and easy until they realize is a tough learning experience and a tough job. Perhaps tougher than anything else they have done in their lives.

The problem with these companies is that they have to balance the quality of students with the quantity required to meet scale. This is probably the worst type of VC backed business because the investor expectations on scale are in direct conflict with the quality of potential students pre-bootcamp and the demanded quality by employers post-bootcamp.
The 3D printed gun movement is fascinating in itself as far as the potential influence on the gun industry, society and legislation. I feel like there’s no way entities like the ATF (and Justice Dept) will be able to keep up in about 10 years as guns like the FGC-9 evolve and become more ubiquitous.
The Arthur C. Clarke novel "Islands in the Sky" covers something similar, including a reckless actor who decides to do his own stunts. Things don't go well. Still a fun book, though probably more aimed at kids.
If I waited for the clearest, best solution to become apparent to me every time I went to get something done I would still be deciding what food to buy at the grocery store.

I've never seen stopping distance noted that way. Looks more like force?

If you aren't changing other characteristics, then yes increasing mass will increase stopping distance. The problem with this assumption is that things like friction coefficient usually change when you are changing mass (tire size is an obvious one).

Most new vehicles stop 60-0 between 120-140 feet. There are heavier vehicles that stop shorter than lighter vehicles. I'm just saying it's not always that vehicles are heavy. The primary variable here (in applied stopping distance) is speed due to the simple fact that reaction time is the same and you are covering distance during that lag, plus velocity is an exponential effect.

Here's a good resource.

When you take into account the history of BIPOC oppression and hate it makes some sense. They're perpetuating a type of hate that's already rampant and even normalized. It's on a spectrum between crimes of passion and organized crime.

Also it's generally recognized as a social good to penalize those who take advantage of the weak and less fortunate.
You should be able to easily sustain below 5ms buffer size, and RT_PREEMPT Linux has no problems keeping a few hundred microseconds of buffer filled (a suitable PCIe soundcard should easily make 100us buffer level reliable; that's 9.6 samples at 96kHz sample rate).

Yes, sub-ms latency is hard. But the infrastructure exists.
This is the thing that’s kept me from pursuing home automation: the advantage of automating lighting (or anything else) is completely negated the moment something goes wrong, because you’ll spend more time debugging than you ever did flicking the light switches in the first place.

You're applying the same bias to my posts, that you're accusing me of.

I've myself been plenty critical of the COVID vaccines and/or rules when it was warranted, and I was able to make my point pretty safely and discuss it without it being dismissed as trolling or deleted as misinformation.

So maybe, just maybe, the stuff that is deleted/banned/dismissed is in fact a duck. Because most anti-vax points as argued today on HN are misinformation-driven. If you disagree with that, you've been the victim of misinformation. And if you disagree with that, I can't do anything for you, you have to be open to being wrong sometimes.

(And it's easy to turn that last sentence into "yeah well what if YOU'RE wrong". If I am, that is my cross to bear, but I'm absolutely open to it being the case. It doesn't change the above.)

My experience is that people (including myself) are much more analytical about video and photo than they are when seeing in person.

I notice every wrinkle and blemish in video, but do not perceive them IRL.

In this way, I think the touch up feature is a more honest representation than having it off. It blunts the edge of my critical gaze and this reduces that distraction. In person I’m paying a lot more attention to the interaction and body language, and run out of time to eagle-eye the details.

Am I alone in this?
It hasn't been mandated at all. A number of years ago, Microsoft made headlines by changing their policy to get rid of that mandate. See https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/windo... . Microsoft's page at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufactur... says that you can "usually" disable it, so I don't think they've changed their policy since then.

> It's pretty remarkable that now we're not only comparing Apple's SoC to the best CPUs from dedicated makers, we're comparing it to the best GPUs.

Is it? Apple has 5nm on lockdown right now. Process is nearly everything in performance/watt.

If you want to compare architectures, you compare it on the same process. 5nm vs 5nm is only fair. 5nm vs 7nm is going to be 2x more power efficient from a process level.

When every transistor uses 1/2 the power at the same speed, of course you're going to have a performance/watt advantage. That's almost... not a surprise at all. It is this process advantage that Intel wielded for so long over its rivals.

Now that TSMC owns the process advantage, and now that Apple is the only one rich enough to get "first dibs" on the leading node, its no small surprise to me that Apple has the most power efficient chips. If anything, it shows off how efficient the 7nm designs are that they can compete against a 5nm design.
Perhaps better described as a form of masochism.

Now explain DOGE.
Interactions occur using internals as a medium without changing externals. This was shown long ago with Planck and supported by speed of light measurements on a cosmic and subatomic scale. This causes:

1. Things like electrons, the atom using it's own internals to interact, to be smeared out.

2. The Earth having a much slower frame rate than atoms. Attach a laser and detector on Earth, it shares the same frame rate. A cloud of atoms not attached to the Earth will appear to behave differently based on their distance from Earth.

The laser is the same throughout it's path. It curves, but it's the same. If you have a really good laser, and a really good detector, you can find out how it works, perhaps create a new model beyond electrons and the nucleus. Especially with new data with black holes, you can define it in terms of particle pairs producing from nothing, and a dense internal homogeneous structure with no further substructure. You can take that model and apply real life applications regarding plasma, the sun, or matter waves, particle beams in orbit.
To be fair, it is not exactly between.

There was a joke in Soviet Union:

Americans stole plans for super secret soviet stealth fighter. Every time Lockheed-Martin engineers try to replicate the design according to documentation they end up building steam engine.
So Americans kidnap one of the Soviet engineers to help them to decipher the design.
Once he sees the documents he points at the small remark at the very end: to get the desired device after building a steam engine shape it manually with a file.

This joke is a pretty accurate description of the state of precision manufacturing capabilities of USSR. Manually created single prototype is not a "complex thing that worked".
I'll add that it's not necessary for a "shill campaign" to "win" the argument, merely to add enough doubt that a consensus is not reached. Manufacturing doubt is a standard tactic (1)

Yes, people have already measured the gravitational redshift in many other contexts. That should not take away from this impressive achievement.

The team here measured the gravitational redshift by comparing the clock-rates inferred from atoms at the top and bottom of a cloud of atoms that was itself smaller than a grain of rice.

I've spent much of my career building precision gravity-sensing systems -- I'm happy to assure you that this news is very cool. Clocks are an awesome way to learn a lot of new things about gravity, particularly because they measure differences in potential, rather than differences in acceleration. In the past two decades, we have seen atomic clocks begin to become sensitive to terrestrial gravity. In the next two decades, we are likely to see clocks begin to open up previously-impossible measurements.

The measurement described here is a wonderful stepping-stone on that path.
devils advocate here: assuming the data was 100% reliable, we could use that data to determine if there are patterns that lead certain individuals down that path. of course if that data is not reliable we made see patterns where there are none. I prefer not to speculate on the reliability of the data, just giving my perspective
Feels like Microsoft knows Visual Studio's days are numbered and are just trying to drag their feel as much as possible.

For certain legacy things there will always be a "Visual Studio." Nobody has any interest in building a new environment for Windows Desktop application development for example.

But for web, VSCode eats VS's lunch. It is more flexible, higher performance, with a better design. So when they force Asp.net/MVC core developers to use the inferior Windows only tool, they're just shooting themselves in the foot as far as .Net adoption goes.

MSDN as a concept can stay around, but they have to start yesterday changing the thinking around it and instead of it being a "Visual Studio + Benefits" it is "Benefits + Services + Legacy Visual Studio."

MSDN could include a half dozen premium VSCode extensions today, but they're stuck in this 1990s product thinking modality. Microsoft went "services, services, services" back in 2007, except the Developer Division and that has to change now.

If they were service/benefit focused instead of product, they wouldn't even care about Rider existing and their goal would be to get "Rider + MSDN" subs because the value add would be high enough to justify it. Or heck release premium Rider extensions (identical to VSCode) that require MSDN (and or premium CLI-based functionality).

Because the next step for covid is to settle into endemic status. Influenza is instructive because it serves as an indicator of the level of risk society is willing to tolerate from a virus.

It’s an analogy, exposing the flaw in the previous statement:

> Intrinsic value is the calculated value of Bitcoin which remains $0.

You ascribe no intrinsic value to Bitcoin arbitrarily, because from your viewpoint there is no useful applications for it. And yet, one can use Bitcoin, for example, to store data on Bitcoin blockchain permanently, or to pay miners for performing transactions – this is intrinsic value, similar to nutritional value of pickles.

Well, no. The emulated x86 gaming performance is.

> You can avoid the risk of destruction by redundantly storing the secret.

Not disagreeing with you but then there are two places (or more) where the secret can be found and your funds stolen. As to having, in addition to that, a hardware wallet makes for yet another potential attack vector: is the hardware wallet unlocked by your fingerprint? Is the fingerprint reader secure? Is it protected by a PIN? How safe is your PIN? Is the HSM in the hardware wallet really unbreakable and really erasing everything after three tries and no attacker can bypass that?
> And what I’m getting to is that yes, they had 50 engineers in their pay roll, but many more supporting various SaaS products and infrastructure they use and pay for.

I was at WhatsApp from 2011 to 2019.

Hardware was outsourced to SoftLayer, of course. I think they had a sizable operation, but if you move that in house, you've got a team of 4ish for 24x7 colo work (we were only in one location for an embarassing amount of time), plus a networking person, and maybe a manager. We certainly got better service with SoftLayer's larger team including ease of getting more servers, but we would have had better visibility in house, so it's a tradeoff. Softlayer's staff was probably smaller than the combined staff if all of their major customers in-sourced, anyway.

Other than that, we used multiple providers for SMS and voice verification; some of whom have a lot of staff. You need more staff for this, IMHO, because in addition to 24x7 coverage, you also need to arrange connectivity with carriers in all timezones and all languages. But some of the companies we used seemed pretty small, so I dunno.

We were using Zendesk in our customer service system after growing out of Gmail and before in-sourcing it after aquisition, and Dyn for DNS (which doesn't take much staff to insource).

What other SaaS do you think we used? Do you want to count the OS app stores and push services? Maybe payments while that lasted? G Suite for corporate email when forwarding to personal mail became too silly?

We self-hosted our code repository and bug tracker.
> If only 40% of students get placed -- that's still 40% more than would have been placed without Lambda, right?

You can't draw that conclusion without a control group. It is entirely possible that a control group that spent that boot camp time doing independent study and job hunting would have higher placement rates and that Lamda school would thus have a negative effect.

I would guess that Lamda school does have a positive effect but that effect is smaller than 40%.
Yeah end of decade, as long as you don't specify which decade.
