I never did any close comparison, but a class D amp, if well built, sounds really clean with no audible noise in background, drawing a fraction of the power and costing a fraction of the money.
Some people think they're of inferior quality for being "digital", but class D amps aren't digital at all, they're 100% analog just like traditional ones. The best way to explain how they work is comparing them to power supplies: a traditional class A/B amplifier is to a linear power supply what a class D is to a switching one: they work as PWM drivers wrt the load, but being the frequency really high (hundreds of KHz) there's no way they could produce unwanted noises, which would be easy to filter anyway using small cap+inductors networks. Those filters usually are also enough to avoid inaudible rf noises and audible heterodyne-generated noises in case two different amps in the same room work at slightly different frequencies. That however is not the case for amps enclosed in the same box (stereo or multi channel amps) as they have their clock sync signal in common and wouldn't generate any unwanted signals anyway.
Is it that we don't value it, or that parents don't have time to actively parent? Or aren't around due to other socioeconomic issues? I taught at a rural school in the States. Less than a quarter of our students lived with both parents at home. And less than 10% lived with families who made enough to keep them off the 'free and reduced lunch program' (thankfully our school gives everyone free breakfast and lunch, and sends food home on the weekends with many). Maybe the issue is these parents would love to parent, but can't because they have to slave away working multiple jobs to just try to make ends meet?

In Asterix in Britain https://asterix.fandom.com/wiki/Asterix_in_Britain the Romans attack during the time the British are having their hot water - with maybe a little bit of milk in it.

Before the final battle when all seems to be lost because the barrel of magic potion was sunk in the river Asterix announces that they have the makings of the magic potion (pulling some herbs out of his pocket) - synopsis from link above:

"Finally reaching the independent village, Asterix eases the Britons' disappointment by claiming he carries herbs to remake the potion; these are later revealed to be tea. With a psychological boost, the village prevails against the Romans. Asterix and Obelix return home to the inevitable feast. The Britons like the tea so much, they proclaim it shall be their national drink."

My mother fled Cambodia and then Vietnam. She has said very little about that period, vague stories about escaping through the forest and people dying. Her family (the lucky ones) have been distributed far across the globe, the other half disappeared.

Reading this was gripping. I understand my mother better. Maybe in some ways the author being 9 allowed her to talk freely about the time that is too traumatic for someone of my mother's generation.
In my opinion this is a bad move. The dislike counter helps me optimize my time and help me avoid bad information. For example if I see a tutorial or some other video with many dislikes I can sometimes predict that the steps in the video aren’t reproducible. In several cases the creator of a video tutorial has linked malicious software in the video as part of the steps of the tutorial and I’ve caught that by first noticing the dislike counter.

In 2050, you need to heat your house with something that is not fossil fuel. Realistically, that requires electrical connections to be upgraded anyhow. No problem adding a bit extra for EV.

Assuming that cars are used on average 20000 km per year, then you can charge a Tesla 3 for 10 hour per night, 1 kW. Of course you would need to use a fast charger if you want to make long trip.

In most places to day, there should be 1 kW at night.

There is no safe threshold for lead exposure. [1]. Nearly all toxins have some threshold, it becomes toxic at parts per million. For lead, this is zero.

All toxins also decay/degrade over a period of time, the effects aren't long lasting. Not so for lead, it is forever!

"Unlike such carcinogens and killers as pesticides, most chemicals, waste oils and even radioactive materials, lead does not break down over time. It does not vaporize, and it never disappears."

"modern man’s lead exposure is 300 to 500 times greater than background or natural levels. " [2]

Forget B2B and B2C. The Real Startup Money Is in B2X
It is a new startup I'm building.

It's a new type of database that can take in streaming data with very fast (~10ms) response times and output batch data with very fast throughput. To do that, it uses a new columnar file format and compression algorithm. Together, this makes its columnar files 30-50% smaller under most circumstances while decoding just as quickly. That means storage costs are lower and it's 30+% faster assuming the same network bandwidth is used to transfer the data for all columns. And this is a pessimistic scenario, since most queries have a `select column_0, column_1, ...` clause that PancakeDB can leverage better than Parquet, transferring only the exact columns needed!

You can find edge cases (e.g. very long strings of uniformly random bytes) where it's only a few % faster instead of 30%, but in every real-world-resembling scenario I've tried, the advantage is much greater.

--------------------------------------

You are asking the wrong question.

The judges don't give reasons for their sentences like that (i.e., the judge is under no obligation to say "I was going to give this person X years, but I'm giving them X-Y because the victim was wearing a mini skirt").

The question you should be asking is: is victim's clothing an admissible evidence in rape cases? That's to say, is it something that the defense uses in their arguments?

And the answer is that, historically, yes, victim's clothing has been extensively used by the defense in rape cases.[1]

The issue was serious enough that states started to adopt laws that banned using clothing as indication of consent in rape cases. By 1994, NY introduced such a law - being the second state in the nation to do so[2].

However, no matter what the law is regarding admissible evidence, the judges will most likely know what the victim was wearing because that, in itself, is collected for evidence. To argue that this does not factor into sentencing would be improbable given the prevalent attitudes in our society, and studies like[5] confirm that.

Which brings us to the main problem: that even without taking clothing as an excuse, sexual assault perpetrators are often left unpunished or given a slap on the wrist, like in the infamous case of the rapist Brock Turner[7].

This is, of course, tangential to the point that a significant part of the population believes that clothing can be an indicator of consent [3][4], which results in the dismal proportion of cases being reported to begin with, and then a small percentage of those brought to prosecution.

In the end, the judges simple don't give prison time to rapists. The judges give light sentences citing anything as a reason, without consequence.

You can see plenty of cases in the survey[8], many of them quite recent.

The analysis of the extent to which victim-blaming has been a factor in each of those cases is left as an exercise to the reader.

That's good, because they weren't arguing that NeuralHash is infallible, but that its fallibility does not lead to the consequences outlined by the GP.

Useless to you, but not to apple. It reduces the set of pictures to process from "everything" to "those identified by the algorithm as designed, plus artificial false positives". It's impossible for the second set to be larger than the first, so it's by definition not useless.

This is why it's strange how people are focusing so hard on the weaknesses of NeuralHash when what we should care about is how well the system as a whole works.

Been writing Ruby the past 3 years. I loved Crystal, because the syntax and idioms were familiar but the type system reminded me of SML, which I miss greatly. I wrote a tiny compiler in it, but didn’t use it again because I had no reason to.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure what could be added to Crystal to make it stand out. The programming language space is somewhat bloated, and IMO to find a niche that doesn’t intersect with Ruby, Crystal needs to be able to compete with Rust and C/C++(Rust as the current novelty systems language of choice, C/C++ as the incumbent). I’m not sure if Crystal has a chance competing with Ruby/Python on their turf (hacking together scripts and web apps).

It's even more interesting here in Canada; kind of inbetween US and UK. There's in fact a bit of a debate of the 2 approaches.

What you're seeing is the collapse of skill and the shift to sales. It derives heavily from the banking industry, interesting you use the bank as your example. When the banks got automated(ABMs), you might expect the number of employees employed by the banks went down but it went way way up. They are no longer tellers, they are sales.

Sales people aren't there to solve your problem. They want to sell you something, and a good sales person is personable, friendly, and you don't realize they are doing it.
Exactly.

What really predicts success is how <pushy> your parents are. But also how hard you work, how gifted you are and what kind of people you meet in school. It's not 100% the parents. There are plenty of rich parents with children with low educational results. They don't care.

I think the statement is to be interpreted different ways. It's not just the data itself that can be sold to external parties as a revenue source, but also the value that can be derived from the data and used both internally and externally.

For instance, being able to determine when a vehicle is due for maintenance and preemptively directing the customer to automakers preferred service department via email/txt/phone. From what I understand money is no longer made on the car itself, instead it's made on the financing and maintenance.

Moreover, there is also a lot of value that can be derived from telemetry data long before it reaches the customer's driveway. Transportation from factory to dealership, hot/cold dealership lot locations, test-drive analytics, stolen/lost assets, etc...

Everyone seems to be concerned about location information being collected and sold (due to the privacy concerns obviously), but the value in the data collected is not just based on location.

I noticed this back when I watched Shark Tank. Cuban in particular was wildly inconsistent in his focus on metrics, demanding much more of some companies.

It was pretty clear that it was just convenient, easy to explain shorthand for not wanting to invest. But, it was plausible in isolation. It's only when you have the ability to see his process over multiple deals that the inconsistency emerges. Obviously founders wouldn't have that view in the typical VC scenario. They'd only have their own experiencen with the investor.

So I think this is mostly true. But I do think in a minority of cases they're willing to ignore metrics because they think they know how to fix whatever issue is causing underpeormance and/or have resources they can apply (including synergistic portfolio companies).
