Putting in something clever (and thus probably rare, and maybe unique to you) can make it far easier for Borg-tronic Analysis, Inc. to connect all the little data dots about you.

I mean what a non article. It essentially boils down to “more autonomy, education and work life balance”.

Yes. We know.

I can’t speak for anyone else but what improved my mental health was recognising my distraction techniques for what they were, and addressing the root cause of those (e.g drinking in evenings to numb how utterly pointless this existence sometimes can feel; and solving it by learning to do stuff with my hands — in this case carpentry)

I doubt you’ll gleam much wisdom from such an article. Maybe do some meditation, cut down on the booze and find something unrelated to work that makes you happy and just accept that work occasionally sucks for everyone..

Anyway, ymmv
> In 2012...Unity was Mac-only

The timeline is a bit off here. Unity was initially Mac-only, but only for a short time. It ran on Windows from version 2.5 in 2009.[1]

I hear you though. I failed to receive a flight ticket because the airline accepted but could not use an address with a + before the @; and when I tried to use a website to prove my identity to get a local SIM after moving county, customer service claimed to only support Windows and Android and wouldn’t help me when I connected via a Mac and my phone was from Apple; and the local public transport app didn’t let me buy tickets when it was installed on an iPad, only on a phone; and a few days ago I got an invoice with “click here to pay” text, except the invoice is an image and there is no hyperlink.
In California there's just a simple form and a fee to retrieve information from the DMV. If anyone does this to lookup your information, you will be notified by the state.

I highly recommend getting a PO Box or a PMB and using that as your primary address on your drivers license, for this exact reason.

In this case, you are required to also give the address you physically live at, but this information is not eligible to be shared through the above process.

Well, just right now, Russia is doing the same in Syria and sometimes Ukraine and other regions around the world. Then there's Iran. Other "bad guys" are more involved with their general vicinity.
One of my buddy's actually had them refuse to sell him some parts. He had given them his address and all (not a confrontational person) and they denied the sale. I bought the stuff for him. I used cash and did not identify myself. I get the feeling Radio Shack had some other stuff going on.
> The reason why cinema is stuck on 24 fps even in the digital age is mostly because people have been culturally programmed to associate janky motion with quality film, and fluid motion with cheap TV production. That's all.

I kinda assumed it was because it was too expensive and difficult to produce higher frame rate video that was of comparable quality. I have yet to see a high frame rate movie that didn't leave me forced to pay more attention to the bad film props and questionable acting than to the story line.

Oh does that work ok? I'd have thought it might cause issues with overhead, as USB2 is only 80 Mbit more than Firewire 1. But the protocol for USB has more overhead.

But of course a MiniDV stream doesn't use the whole 400 mbit.

I'll look into that as I don't think my 2010 MBP will live forever and it's the last thing I have with firewire.

>Toyota says that different emissions-reducing car technologies are needed for different regions of the world. EVs are a good option for places like Europe, where batteries can be charged with electricity derived largely from renewable sources, the automaker says. Other options, such as hydrogen or hybrids, may be a better fit in other regions.

Obviously not all types of internal combustion engines emit carbon. Batteries are not yet 1 size fits all. And if we move toward renewable/nuclear then the source of energy for hydrogen generation will become a non-issue.

“ It can be debated whether the Librem 5 should be called "free hardware" or "open hardware" since most of the complexity of a smartphone lies within the individual components which are not open hardware. The Librem 5 is free/open hardware in the sense that anyone can take the schematics and legally produce their own versions of the phone, but it isn't free/open hardware in the sense that people can't access the source files for the SoC, cellular modem, WiFi/Bluetooth, GNSS, USB controller, etc., so most of the functionality is hidden.”
Also, most solar panels are not CdTe cells, the vast majority of the market are silicon cells (CdTe making <10% of the market).

Totally agreed. Team building benefits the company. Why should employees spend from their personal time. Same for mental health.
This is incorrect. Every edition of Snowflake is deployed across multiple availability zones with automatic failover in the case of failure or AZ outage. This is included in the price and requires no configuration by the customer. Cross-cloud/region failover requires the top edition and a few lines of SQL to configure (plus cloud egress costs for data replication).

The higher editions of Snowflake include features like materialised views, dynamic data masking, BYOK, PCI & HIPAA compliance etc., non of which are required for the benchmark.
makes me think of Emacs's `rx` macro!
Or just put a ton of solar plants into the US deserts. it's super cheap now, I doubt fusion will ever be cheaper than just collecting whatever sun sends to us. And for carbon removal you don't need a stable electricity source

> It requires more scarce than resources like lithium to make cars.

What do you think it takes to capture carbon?

> You can be scammed by people selling the car and using that money to buy a house and a cheap commission engine.

How is that a profitable scam? Anybody else could buy the same car with the same subsidy. You can't resell it for more than you paid.

> Your likely to face much more political pushback for subsidizing others carbon use. "Let's make our country carbon neutral" can resonate with people as it's cleaning up after ourselves.

The only reason to do this is if you've already done that. Otherwise it would make more sense to spend the money subsidizing replacement of fossil fuels in your own country first.

> Can Africa and South America even use them? Is it reasonable for them, do they have the infrastructure? I know in some countries electricity can be scarce-- and power companies turn off the supply at night.

Solar panels and electric cars go together like hand and glove. The car doesn't care what part of the day you charge it, so you charge it when the sun is shining. And you don't need a functioning power grid to install cheap solar on your own house/business.
Both ads are shown though with Apple in the 2nd slot. So HBO is bidding more and I doubt Apple is going into negative margins.
They are with holding the hard data, apparently for privacy concerns.. How ironic.
The author says that the app's "more than 4,000-word privacy policy is a minefield of digital pitfalls".

I hate to break it to them, but the LA Times has a more than 7,000-word privacy policy with the exact same pitfalls.

- Collecting IP address: check

- Collecting geo-location and device identifiers: check

- Cross-device tracking: check

- Tracking referring and exit URLs: check

- Third-party cookies for ad targeting: check

In addition, the Times' privacy policy allows it to collect a whole bunch of other information about you - for example they can collect your "race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, religious affiliation, military or veteran status, nationality, ancestry or ethnicity, and political opinions" or buy it from data brokers and use that to serve you ads or sell it to whomever they please.

Now I'm not suggesting that the Times shouldn't point out privacy flaws in other companies' products. But perhaps a sentence or two disclosing that they have the same flaws would be in order.
Windows may actually let you override the EDID info, it's been a while since I used windows but I think it lets you do it in device manager... from the era when displays came with drivers on a cdrom.

I am not mad at the cashier at all. Poor kid was probably paid the bare minimum and had nothing to do with any policy. That is why I didn’t argue with him (plus there were customers behind me, I didn’t want to hold the line). I asked him once, and left immediately after.

Who wouldn't.

This is a second price auction that we speak of. Every ad company is polled to send no more than two bids. Naturally those would be the two highest bids from thousands that they handle. So let's say that Google first and second bids are G1 and G2, Facebook F1, and F2, some other company C1 and C2 and so on. So if those bids are sorted in descending order it may look like, for example,

A1 > B1 > A2 > C1 > B2 > C2 > ...

In this example, the ad belonging to A1 gets served, the price is the value of bid B1.

That's why it is called "second price" auction. If it was a first price auction, the A1 advertiser would pay A1 bid price, and could save some money by bidding slightly lower, but still more than B1. Neither of these companies know up-front what the other bid will be, but with a second price auction there is no need for it, the A1 advertiser pays the amount of B1 bid.

Same goes for bids G1 and G2, they don't know what other bids will be. It could end up like this:

G1 > G2 > C1 > ...

From time to time Google overhauls their AI. Let's say for simplicity that the two highest bids from Google are the same ads, the new bid for G1 is G'1 and the new bid for G2 is G'2. Though it could change who wins the auction, for instance if it ends up like this

G'2 > G'1 > C1 > ...

or
C1 > G'1 > G'2 > ...

Or it could change only what the price is, for example if it ends up like this, the price will lower from G2 to C1

G'1 > C1 > G'2 > ...

Or if there is some minimum bid value Z required by publisher and it it would be G'1 > C1 > Z > G'2, it would be only G'1 that is passed to the auction. "Google allegedly dropped the second-highest bids from publishers' auctions".

The "inflate only the bids belonging advertisers who used the company's Google Ads" is a mixture of G'1 > G'2 > G2 > ... and G'1 > C1 > G1 > ... and that sort of stuff

There is no accumulating money in a pool, keeping it to spending later on something; there is a need for balancing the two effects above, so that the overhaul won't go overboard either way.

The case of C1 > G'1 > G1 > ... is missing from the Reuters snippet. If it is in the lawsuit, it would end up as "secretly forcing the advertisers who used competing ad network to pay more", I guess
Writing new system software
Don't think it's even a strange thought; the US has been always much happier with industrial policy than welfare. "NASA, but for your climate" is a much easier political sell than "let's give foreigners [almost] free luxury goods".

And if you don't want people in the developing world to simply sell the brand new Teslas you've swapped for their 30 year old bangers, you're also going to have to build out a charging infrastructure, ensure that new power stations built to handle the increased electricity demand are renewable, and shut down people's routes to simply buying new ICE cars manufactured in other countries and pocketing the difference between that and the cost of the Tesla. Even assuming that politics doesn't exist and the world will do exactly what the US wants if they spend enough money. the cost of offset doesn't seem quite so expensive after all...
If ever there was a rebuttal of a business model… share holders should pay attention.
> In 2014, another internal report, titled “Feed ranking is good,” summarized the results of tests that found allowing users to turn off the algorithm led them to spend less time in their news feeds, post less often and interact less. Ultimately, they began logging into Facebook less often, imperiling the years-long growth in user engagement that has long powered the company’s lucrative advertising business. Without an algorithm deciding which posts to show at the top of users’ feeds, concluded the report’s author, whose name was redacted, “Facebook would probably be shrinking.”

No surprises here.

Or it means my fellow voters have their priorities wrong, (like usual). Military spending and preventative healthcare is also near the bottom here. (Or take any other example that you might consider important.)
Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) grew 91% to $19.89

given 'it's just software' this is very significant for the bottom line, basically the value of 'quality' speakers or something like that (may be more than the entire remote)

Not sure what they make per TV. Could be 0 in this model.
It is encouraging to see this kind of in-depth reporting on the incident. I wonder for how much longer that's possible, given the declining revenue possible for news organizations.

One thing to note, in the gritty details of Python's actual implementation of the list type, is that there's a little more to say about how list resizing works than is immediately obvious. The relevant source is here: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Objects/listobje...

As the article points out, the size progression, as detailed in the comment in that source, is relatively modest. Your "classic" dynamic array will simply double the size as needed. This progression does less than that: 16, 24, 32, 40, and so on. But: The underlying implementation is using the standard C library function realloc(). This will perform some amount of in-place resizing on its own, and will lend a lot to the performance of a Python list, albeit in a way that might be difficult to nail down, since it depends on the overall usage of the C library's heap.

You can use Biodiesel or Gas+Ethanol. As far as I know, there is not version that is 100% fossil fuel free, but I think it's possible. For cars, batteries may be the best option. But for planes, perhaps it will be better to use a fuel that is 100% fossil fuel free, instead of batteries.

PCIe switches are a lot simpler and more standardized than RAID and HBA controllers, but I'm not sure they're any cheaper for similar bandwidth and port counts. Broadcom/Avago/PLX and Microchip/Microsemi are the only two vendors for large-scale current generation PCIe switches, and starting with PCIe gen3 they decided to price them way out of the consumer market, contributing to the disappearance of multi-GPU from gaming PCs.

Related to that, do heterogenous lists make sense as a default? I can see the argument for dictionaries easily, you might want to put a lot of different stuff inside one. However, for lists, I fail to see the advantages of heterogenous lists as a default. Especially since they are going to be way slower, and nobody seem to use arrays in Python.

After the 9274821th article about yet another company hoovering up data about me to help someone run personalized ads, I am less frightened about the privacy implications than morbidly curious at the mammoth, grotesque waste of it all. I have to ask: how much of the American economy is now based on showing people ads? Is there no limit to how much money and time and effort civilization can sink into this?

Even if ads could control me like a puppet and direct me to make purchases at any time, would the proceeds from that pay for the effort?

A tax on the O&G industry is a tax on consumers. Demand for energy is largely inelastic, so costs are easy to pass on. Gas prices at only $3.50 are already sending Joe Biden's approval ratings through the floor. Sending gas prices past $5 or more means a reactionary panel of candidates get elected next cycle, which is counter-productive.
