IMO, most of the real improvements are seen going from $300-ish to $1200-ish. Going higher doesn't give you more features so much as more quality and durability. In my experience, if you ride a lot of miles consistently on a cheap bike, parts will wear out or break pretty fast. Especially if the terrain is at least mildly rough, as found on most commutes and country roads.

Cheap wheels go out of true easily and before long are often too bent to be able to true by spoke adjustments. Cheap tires wear out fast and puncture easily. Cheap brakes wear out and go out of adjustment fast. Ditto cheap shift gear. I've broken pedals too, and I don't pedal all that aggressively. Really cheap stuff tends to be excessively heavy too, which can be a drag on uphills and when you need to carry it.

Yours looks like a perfectly fine commuter bike to me. I'm not familiar with the wheel or shift gear classes, but if it gets you where you need to go without wearing stuff out too fast, by all means no need to spend more.
thats a good one, very clean
A little confused by what exactly you're proposing. Microcode is closely tied to a specific hardware implementation, there's no way the existing Intel microcode could be meaningfully re-used to drive other CPU cores, unless you also reverse engineered Intel hardware :-)

I don't think many RISC processors even use microcode in the first place. On most RISC chips I know of, most instructions are cracked/decoded/ran in one cycle, with only very complex instructions needing to be run across multiple CPU cycles. Most RISC-V implementations don't use microcode at all, AFAIK.

If you're just saying we should make an open source x86-compatible CPU core that can be synthesized to FPGA, there are actually several projects that do so, including several on OpenCores, like:

https://opencores.org/projects/ao486

https://opencores.org/projects/next186

what would it take to prove to the scientific establishment that whoops, we're in that 5%!

Wrong after all.

Here's the proof, everyone can go home now.

Given the number of variables & the long timelines involved, and the depth of political entrenchment - that outcome of a widely accepted disproof seems basically impossible, doesn't it?

In which case, what are we arguing for?
At least a generation before the US government is willing to back some sort of Bitcoin thing the same way it’ll insure a savings account through FDIC (for instance) and by generation I mean that people like you (I assume, people who are Crypto enthusiasts) are sitting in the US senate and Oval Office.
Right, but anyone who takes a position yet should be dismissed without prejudice. The default, null hypothesis is that Omicron is exactly as virulent and deadly as the current baseline, Delta. Anything else is bullshit for now and anyone who claims to have data contra that null hypothesis is lying

I definitely agree with this, but I think you will find very few people that do.

People in the middle-class want to believe it has more in common with the lower class.

Everyone thinks the person slightly richer then them is the one making money they don't need and lives the luxurious life, and everyone their income and lower are the ones with real struggles.

The middle-class (me included) might not like it, but they aren't the same as someone who struggles to make ends meet.
The full setup is in the supplementary information (available at the bottom of the main paper website [1]), Figure 7. After this small lens, there are a couple more large lenses before the final camera/sensor, apparently an AVT Proscilica GT1930C (which is not tiny---the full setup would be maybe ~200mm in length).

So basically, yep, this work is just about a better tiny lens; the press article is misleading (the paper [1] is better written). I don't know enough about optics to comment on how it compares to previous work, or how small a full lens + sensor system can currently be.

Our media companies either need to be reigned in, or just completely restructured in terms of what their first amendment rights are.

> the incentives to imprison more people are so perverse that I would anticipate the price would catch up,

But it’s the state that’s imprisoning people, not private prisons. Private prisons cannot catch, prosecute, sentence and institutionalize people at tax payer dime any more than construction companies can build road and bridges on their own initiative while paid by the state. When government contracts bridge construction to a private company, are you also worried that said company will build 10 extra unnecessary bridges and charge government for them?
5G is typically deployed in CBRS bands - i.e. 3.5 GHz. This isn't mmWave. Will have meaningfully higher coverage areas than WiFi (but mostly because WiFi is power-limited, not to do with frequency).
You don't have to be found guilty to be punished, lookup "case load". That can keep you on probation and monitoring as long as they want to draw out the case and the whole time you are required to make monthly payments or risk going to jail.

The emoji sequence represents the secret key exchange between you and the other party. If you intercept the call, you are making one key exchange with person A, and another key exchange with person B. Due to the mathematics involved, there is no way for you to force both key exchanges to yield the same result.

For a "standard" DH key exchange it would be possible to brute force the emoji sequence to be the same (since it's too short to be resistant to brute forcing), but the protocol that Telegram uses specifically defends against that by having both sides commit to their share of the key ahead of time, so they cannot try different numbers.

https://core.telegram.org/api/end-to-end/video-calls#key-ver...

So person A and person B are going to see different emojis no matter what you do. To fake a phone verification while performing a main-in-the-middle attack you'd also have to fake their voices to each other. That's hard.
Disease has always been viewed through a moral lens. Plague was from sin, aids was from sin. We have always judged the sick through a moral lens and only through hindsight do we see how terrible that was. And then we repeat the same mistake.

I am confident that the people giving out so called “Herman Cain Awards” for COVID will be judged as harshly as we judge those who called HIV the gay plague.
Seems dramatically different to me.

Humans are tribal and will form a network anywhere, but the freedoms and the way the government works is significantly different to me.

In a word, no.

As you say yourself, it's a measure of relative security. US elites know their position can rarely be threatened by what is said in TV. We see the response to actual threats in the treatment of people who reveal the mechanisms of authority, most symbolically Edward Snowden.
You don't get stronger immunity. It's like cold virus. The idea behind cold virus is to not allow your host to develop any immunity. Before host's immune system gets around it, cold virus spreads and kills itself in host. This combined with rapid mutations means that there is no cure for cold. Covid DNA structure is similar and may eventually evolve to adopt same strategy in long term. Killing host is not a good strategy for viruses which is why Ebola was unable to take stronger foothold.

You're kind of quibbling over details. The below quote is already bad enough:

> "We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully."

I already do not trust the person who has said that. Does it really matter if he proposed a full-fledged ID system? He still proposed monitoring mosques. He still proposed surveillance based on religious identity.

The correct answer to that question, "should Muslims be subject to special scrutiny" is a simple "no". I don't really get the debate about hypotheticals; this a question that does have a straightforward, right answer. And the implications here in regards to surveillance and ordinary people having stuff to hide -- those implications are all the same regardless of whether or not Trump actually proposed a literal database.

He was open to increased surveillance on Americans based on their religious identity, he didn't immediately shut the idea down.
Right, none of the people that specifically picked ZFS are gonna be in love with this.

OK, so I just got out of jail. It's not heroin on the pages. It's "K2", but actually no-one I met really knows what the fuck they are smoking most of the time. They tend to assume it is just roach spray on the paper, which actually means it is legal:
https://lumierehealingcenters.com/2018/07/12/drug-alert-smok...

At the Cook County Jail, that I just left, it was upwards of 80% of the population that are smoking it on a daily basis in some areas. The effects can be devastating. I saw people "die" and need to be brought back by Narcan. I saw many, many people acting like they were on PCP, going crazy. This is bad for your cell block as if the guard sees it he's going to call in a really heavy shakedown for everyone. I saw many people simply OD and go comatose but eventually recover after having water poured over them repeatedly.

One letter-sized page makes about $8000 for the person that gets it in. They tear it up into what we call "strips" which are about the area of a dime. You get the thin wrapping paper that covers a toilet roll and use that as rolling paper and then tear the strip up into little pieces and light the whole thing.

Never touched the stuff myself.

Oh, and it's basically undetectable, which is the reason it gets into the prisons so easy. The stuff I've seen while I was inside had no colouration on the paper, had no smell etc. The dogs can't sniff it - I was told by the handler that it's because they are not trained in it.
Another pro tip: try Brave Search instead (search.brave.com).

Still being refined, and it will take a while to be fully-competitive with Google, but the text search results are strong and, unlike DDG, it's an independent search index that doesn't rely on Bing.
Whistled languages seem like a useful idea, but I can't find enough material to to anything more than say "oh, that's a neat thing that exists". In particular, many whistled languages seem to be transliterated (I know that's not really the right word but close enough) from "normal" spoken/verbalized languages with a loose mapping of sounds to whistles, and ever since I encountered them I've wondered if the same could be done for English. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of good material online describing how the sound mapping works, and what little there is assumes that you're a linguistic expert, so it just sits in the back of my mind as an interesting idea with no (good) path to realize it.
No it's not. It's more like a wifi access point, a hardware device that sets up a private network. The public providers aren't involved in your 5G network at all (unless you are using them for internet uplink at the facility, but that is independent of the private network. AWS handles all the complicated 5G software stack in the cloud though.
Not unsubstantiated. See my post above. I saw it all day, every day when in jail. I just got out in July.

For some things, definitely not for doing a 3 way merge.
Wow man. Ouch! Some ultra-cruel shit being flung over here.

Ok, so some technicals. I don't think I called you stupid at all. I said the numbers you chose were stupidly low. Please be able to differentiate. You are not the points you make! I asked very genuinely to try to understand some of your perspective. I don't ask that of people I call stupid! I've been rebuffed, and told your only interest is because I am so "wrong-headed", which isn't really helping anything along here... I'd like to see better, I think you deserve to show a better side of yourself than that.

> I could say that your attitude here comes across like a 14-year-old whose

Look man, I've found this attempt to discuss to be super distateful un-willing to engage honestly. I already said that. You're just upping the game again and again & not replying earnestly. Please try to say something useful, please try to help the discussion engage? This is huge flame-bait. I don't think I've ever been so brash or rude. I specifically think one specific number you said is way way way off base. You're making this super nasty. While telling me I am being nasty, and a little child? I really disagree, heavily; I don't think this is called for. But that's not even my real interest here. I don't care what you have to say about me. I'm not making that the new argument.

You've refused to clash again & again. That's the most interesting thing to me, trying to explore & understand & gain & share insight. I raise points & you float off. C'mon man. Your view has not been kind to people just trying to get products without being exploited. I patently don't get it. What drives you to such strong beliefs? Why are you throwing such flame around at me? What's going on here? Tell me about yourself, how you come to feel this way. I genuinely want to know.

> I think your opinion here is fundamentally wrong-headed and short-circuiting the market in the manner you are advocating for causes worse outcomes for everyone in the long term,

How? Why? Nvidia & to a degree AMD have been trying to prevent cryptocurrencies from treading on the gaming market. There's been lotteries to try to insure broader access, but which gets gamed. Everyone else seems to agree, seems to want to try to help the regular plain old non-hostile non-money-grabbing folk get cards, at a rate somewhat like what they could. Except you. You keep insisting the market must serve itself, maximize profit. Or face vague foreboding "or else" consequences. You speak here of bad outcomes, of horrible ills, but fail to define these ends. And not defining or explaining why. (And using very personalized inappropriate senses of conflict to deflect.) Not saying anything to actually defend or explain your position. I patently don't get it. And you don't seem at all sympathetic to how hard you are hitting, which hurts. Why not be a little bit more moderate my man?
Im confused as to how you think this plays out.

Do US elites somehow prevent news of things that threaten them from being discussed?

I don’t think so, and I think many fall because of it.
It also says that the vaccine effectiveness for triple vaccinated people is 90% vs 95% for delta, so still pretty good.

I'm using a Sony 43" X720E. IPS. I'm quite happy with it, can't complain. It's as good as any monitor I've seen except OLED, and the size is wonderful. I would like to have 120Hz though.

I will eventually go to OLED but 48" is the smallest size OLED TV available, and that's a bit bigger than I'd want on my desk.

Hopefully a reasonably-priced 43" OLED will come out.
Reuters used to represent a “just the facts” news wire. But now it just isn’t. Yes this is an event in the same way that someone relapsing in cancer is an event. It alone is pointless and does not a trend make.

The emoji comparison thing is mathematically solid. Assuming the clients aren't backdoored (and the Telegram client is open source, so that's not that easy), there is no way for an attacker to make both sides show the same emoji. If they want to convince two users that they have en E2EE connection while performing a man in the middle attack, they'd have to fake their voices to each other to change what emoji sequence they each read out. That's hard, and therefore this is real, meaningful privacy.

If property is not put into use by the LEA within one (1) year, the State/LEA must coordinate a transfer of property to another LEA or request a turn-in to return the property to the nearest DLA Disposition Services Site. All costs associated with the transportation, turn-in, or other expenses related to property obtained through the LESO 1033 Program, is the sole responsibility of the LEA.”

The problem isn't logistical. Numerous solutions exist to make books available in some form that doesn't create much risk. The problem is the lack of desire to create more humane conditions in US prisons. Many large companies depend on prison labor and they somehow found a way to have their whole supply chain go through a prison. I'm sure if they wanted to, they could throw in a few books.
Generally patients don't pay extra for clinical trials, although it's complicated. Their insurance usually pays for patient care costs, routine costs you'd have regardless of the trial. The trial usually pays for research costs, tests and stuff specifically due to the research.

Encrypted at rest means the data is encrypted as stored on disk, not that they do not have access to the keys. That would be end-to-end encryption.

What Telegram claims to have done is set this up in a way that makes it very hard for a single party/state to get these keys. It's not possible to make this completely impossible (if you have a server processing user data, it will have the keys loaded at some point, and there is always some way to physically attack it), but it is possible to make it very hard (physical tamper detection on the servers, secure boot tied to machine identity credentials required to access key material, etc - it's hard, but not impossible, to make this too difficult for any nation state to bypass). We don't know how good their set-up is, but it's certainly possible to do a good job at doing what they claim to be doing.
