I'd argue that macOS is several orders of magnitude more reliable than it was in the past. Early releases were terrible.

I don't get why people are acting like it's an either or scenario. That said, one pro for hydrogen, is should be easily burnable in the current natural gas plants, which should easily cover off peak times without the need for batteries.

Another thing. I think we should question any plan that requires more mass mineral extraction than necessary. It's not as if mining is an environmentally neutral thing, and there is more to restoring our planet that just getting surviving climate change.
That seems like an over-reaction: you really haven't trusted a single word from any official because of one official being misleading?
This. PC speaker was driven far beyond its original design and intention. Sound Blasters, and later built-in clones/compatibles, changed the general outlook of sound.

You'll see a shift to Adlib/SB audio start around 1987-1988, and by 1991 they were no longer niche. PC speaker support started to wane, but didn't entirely go away until Windows 95.

How do I remember this? I ran a BBS in the 90s, and my family was one of the early adopters of sound cards back in 1987 (Creative Music System, later rebranded to Game Blaster before Creative Labs came out with the Adlib-compatible Sound Blaster) and we ended up going through a few of the different cards over the years across multiple PCs.
...and then someone actually did a cluster RCT for masks and Covid, and found that cloth masks don't have any effect, and surgical masks have a truly minor effect on transmission:

https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/do-masks-reduce-risk...

We really need to stop repeating the talking point that "everyone screwed up". The original evidence base was that masks don't do much to stop respiratory illness. "The science" changed in the span of a week in early 2020, based on little more than propaganda. No actual science was ever performed, and once we did some, we found out that the early evidence was pretty much correct.

> Oppressed 1/5 of world population is on track to become high income country and highest GDP?

Those things have _nothing_ to do with each other.

The US southern states got very rich on cotton, tobacco, etc., and had a high GDP, during slavery.

Were the slaves not oppressed?

Again, GDP has nothing to do with being oppressed or not.
"Tax abuse" and "tax avoidance" are weasely phrases. And no one should accept claims of tax evasion without impartial evidence. Quotes and statistics from a political campaign with an agenda don't qualify.

Yes, right. I like how you can read into the future. Let's see what happens 10-20 years from now, things tend to change. But even if we look at how things are now, plenty of places still commit to 1-2 languages (in fact if you're a small shop it's pretty crazy to try anything else).

So Tony would be not-alienated and Tommy working at McDonalds would be only meet 1/3 of the alienation criteria?

And developers would meet more likely hit the criteria if they're working for an expensive B2B rather than a B2C?

Drivers to be banned from using hand-held devices
That persistent notification for application running in background is the worst. Back in the day, applications on Symbian devices could run in background without any indication. Some would argue that's a risk but then we have been using our PCs like that since forever.

Even if you want users to give indication of something running in background there are far less intrusive ways to achieve that. But if you can't come up with those ways and persistent notification is the best you could come up with then at least give the user the ability to turn it off without turning off background process?

They know the tendency of people to clear notifications as they clutter the phone and they use this small knowledge to push their own Software. At least follow same practice for Google apps but no because then that notification area would be complete mess.
> 11% (just adopting the number from your comment, no idea if that is the real figure) is huge. It would turn a spread 1.05 into one of 0.94 assuming that number has a direct impact like that.

No, because that's not what the 11% number was measuring. You can't just take an 11% relative reduction in population seroprevalence at a given time, and then blindly multiply the virus R0 by that factor. They observed a drop in symptomatic seroprevalence that corresponded to about 1 case for for every 1300 people who wore a mask. That is nowhere near an 11% drop in R0 (which you'll recall is an exponent).

> That's exactly what is wrong with all these discussions, the cost of wearing a mask is negligible compared the potential cost of not wearing a mask:

How do you know? Have you measured it? No, of course you haven't. You're just asserting things.

> so wear a mask. It doesn't matter if it is proven to help yet or not, the fact that it may help and won't harm is the only thing that matters when deciding whether or not you should wear one.

Fine. You should take Ivermectin, then. And vitamin D. And flush your sinuses daily with a neti pot. And get your chakra aligned. It's essentially the same argument. Can't hurt, might help! By your logic, it all must be done.

...or do you just pick-and-choose which unsupported interventions you prefer to believe in?

(for the record: I do not believe you should take Ivermectin. But it is the same argument.)

> the evidence quality for Ivermectin is substantially lower than that,

It really isn't. Just like mask studies, there are a few weakly suggestive good ones, and a few bad ones that make ridiculous claims, and a whole lot of nonsense in between.

> there are substantial downsides to using it in quantity.

No, not really. It's a pretty common, safe drug. We probably know more about the downsides of Ivermectin than we do about the downsides of (say) masking young children in school.
That's the dumbest thing I've read all day. I'd rather starve than suffer fat idiots thanks.
That's not a solution. Most places have computerised land records, and maybe they aren't so great, but that is an argument for a new modern database, not a worse one (blockchain).
Or even without using any such new technology, it could at least take advantage of the fact that almost all human communication is mediated by computers, and coerce virtually the entire human race into helping it. I think the GP wasn't being nearly creative enough when thinking about the possibilities/dangers of AGI.

Absolutely agree. Knowing where a hospital is is a very useful information. Not everything requires emergency transport, does it? Not even in countries where emergency transport is covered by public health insurance. Knowing exactly what level of care, trauma and other, these hospitals are providing aren't really helpful in an emergency.

As a tangent, what really annoys me lately is Google Maps. For some very stupid reason Maps is not coming up with a destination of Covid test or vaccination centers, instead Maps is redirecting you to general search to get the latest news on Covid. There you can look up the address and manually navigate there. And even then it happened to me once the Maps refused to accept that destination. No idea what the reasoning behind that would be.

Living in the US, with some of the worst banking infrastructure in the world, my debit card has an app that allows me to instantly lock/unlock the card, set spending limits, category limits, and even to deny a transaction if my phone isn't geolocated close to the transaction point.

I get a nearly instant alert, sometimes before the payment terminal has displayed "accepted", that there's been a charge on my card.

Also, at least in the US, debit cards have similar fraud rules to credit cards (ie you can chargeback) but the time period is much, much smaller. A week, I think.

I strongly urge you to not use your debit card and use a credit card wherever possible. Aside from better protection, any fraud or mistakes are not involving real money, but credit.

I assume one is active while the other is not. With two cameras you have the option of stereoscopic analysis where you have to match pixels of two cameras looking on the scene from a different angle. That uses significant cpu-time though, difficult for real time applications. Results vary because the matching isn't trivial and the difference in angle in smartphone cameras is very low.

If you have a projector, you can do more. I believe Apple uses a flash, which has a low resolution, but is perhaps less cpu-intensive and less error prone, although it has a lower resolution. That would be a real Lidar, which is an active measurement. Of course combining that with sensible stereoscopy nets better results.
Definitely, it only disables the client-visible effects of tracking. But I don't think one can avoid the hidden part by watching without a Google account either.

My father used to import clone PC stuff from Taiwan. The guys running these ops were surprisingly small usually. Some of the original ISA graphics cards including the weird CEG (anti aliasing ones) had 3 guys running the entire outfit. The guy writing the software was stuffing boxes in his lunch break and there were no managers. Even the case design companies were one man outfits with all the actionable stuff contracted out. It was remarkable.
Because it's possible. Bringing up more advanced CPUs alone and with hobbyist tools is borderline impossible. Nothing revolutionary changed (Sorry Pentiums) until the Opteron, so you're covering an entie era by doing this and learning a ton that applies even today.

I dislike the premise of your question though. There's no reason it need to be economically useful. People can just do things thy love and enjoy.

On top of that, this question is like asking why learn finite automata, why not just jump straight to Turing machines and trying to solve P=?NP. No, that's nonsense obviously and you gotta walk before you can run.

>> perhaps we can make liquid fuels out of H2

> You're describing hydrocarbons.

This is technically correct, but at the right pressure, it becomes politically incorrect.

Right now there is already a huge push against fossil fuels, to the point that countries are setting dates for forbidding internal combustion engines in cars. Note that this will take effect independently of the source of fuel, fossil or otherwise. And methane, which is relatively easy to produce from bio-waste, it is a potent greenhouse gas.

For now, the public is divided. Nobody likes the consequences of global warming but nobody likes to give up the convenience of hydrocarbons.

Give it some time or add some more climate shock, and the public may change opinion to be against all fuels that contain some form of carbon, no matter the origin.

If you always play for the optimal move, give it a thousand games or so, and your opponents will know the optimal game.

They will learn the best opening move from your first move with white, the best reply from your response to it when they play it, white’s best second move from playing that against your best opening move, etc.

Once they know that, playing against them, all games will be the same and they’ll _look_ as good at chess as you.

Especially if the optimal move isn’t far better than the next best move(s) varying your moves can be used to show that isn’t true, and delay the time it takes your opponents to learn that optimal game.

> 1. I’m concerned with who won this. The game was stacked for the opponent of the DAO who had all of the information. Maybe it’s tinfoil hat but I think there was an ideological battle at hand - the preservation of centralization vs decentralization. Worst yet the DAO lost due to an inherent value it represents: transparency.

There is nothing maliciously being done against a DAO here. It was an auction, the stupidest thing a bidder at an auction can do is announce their maximum bid limit way before an auction take place. That's what happened here, it is a given in any auction that you will either be outbidded if your maximum bid is known or you will be pushed to spend it all, it's a pretty simple game theory setup.

I can see that. I still don't think it's a good word choice.

If it's about the predictability of a given vehicle's projected maintenance requirements, use unreliability.

If it's about the excessive technology leading to unreliability, maybe discuss complexity.

And if it's about a quality record of the manufacturer which changes markedly over time, discuss variability or inconsistency.

But I'd expect instability in discussion of vehicle-related matters to refer to road-handling, steering, or the like. If that's the case, then discuss uneven handling. And if it's not the case, then avoid confusion (or unjustified criticism) that might be caused.

If you've got to argue for or justify the language in a mass publication, it's poor language.

I watched some of the cross examination as well as closing arguments by both sides.

If the only consequence of such set of actions is an internship offer at the Congress then it only makes sense for other kids to emulate him.

The centralization of google as a gateway to most internet content has nearly destroyed the penchant for individuals and groups to self organize online. Webrings are an example of group organization. Individuals used to make their own link pages or "home pages" with sections and categories.
