For what it's worth, you could watch how quickly the confidence intervals converge as you sample the data, to see if it's worth continuing or if the variance is too high and whether you'd have to check thousands of pages by hand:

from scipy.stats import binomtest
chance_of_dead_page = binomtest(landing_page_counter["dead"], landing_page_counter["total"]).proportion_ci(confidence_level=0.90)
print(f'Chance of a dead but existing landing page (90% Confidence Interval):{chance_of_dead_page.low * 100:.2f}% to {chance_of_dead_page.high * 100:.2f}%')

OK... What's the case for lesser or greater.

Bear in mind that we don't really know much about how our data is being used at any of these, either directly by the company or by security agencies in their home countries. US security also has access to foreign citizens' FB & Google data via prism or its successors.

The whole argument here seems (to me) to be [1] TikTok collects a scary and unjustifiable amount of data about its customers, just like youtube, FB Etc. [2] We don't know exactly what's collected and why [3] TikTok are chinese.

Singling out Tiktok is neither helpful nor honest, IMO.
It's interesting because this is all over this thread, but it's not actually a string interpolation issue. It's an issue with percent encoding[0]. They talk about it likely being an interpolation issue at first but end up ruling it out.

I loved my Palm device! The one thing I do think modern devices get better is text input.

When the iPhone was released, I was skeptical about its soft keyboard, but I was amazed at how much faster I could type on it than I could write with Graffiti. (And I was pretty good at Graffiti -- version 1 of course, not that awful Graffiti 2 trash-tier imposter.)

Something that would have helped break the Chrome monopoly is if Microsoft had chosen non-Chrome for Edge. I would have liked Firefox, because that would have added technology weight so there was one giant behind each major engine.

Using Blink/Chromium is effectively Microsoft supporting Chrome's technology monopoly.
I understand the sentiment of your post.

Zero trolling: For a very high quality pool of journalists and writers at The New Yorker, do you think that also applies?

I hold the opinion that certain media outlets have out-sized caché (attraction) in their country's culture and are able to "punch about their weight" and draw incredible talent for the wages. It is almost like an inverted veblen good! Examples that come to mind: The New York Times, The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The Economist, The Financial Times, Le Monde, Nikkei Shimbun, Der Speigel, and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Re-reading that list before clicking 'reply', I wonder if all of them have strong employee unions. It seems possible.

EDIT: What about public radio and television in highly advanced democracies? It is a pretty similar situation. High quality staff, peanuts for wages, but they don't have commercial pressures. US, Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan all have outstanding, neutral public broadcasters. (Queue the 1000x naysayers that will say "Oh, it's never been worse -- see recent scandal XYZ".) Is the answer: Gov't funded (taxes) public broadcasters that cover news that struggles to make money in the private sector? Maybe.
It's the same on both sides. The Hunter Biden "laptop saga" moved from NY Post -> Fox News -> Wall Street Journal.

This was after Fox and WSJ passed on the story initially. Once it got traction from NY Post, they ran with it. Sean Hannity even claimed to have the laptop in his possession. Then he said it was stolen. Then he got it back, but couldn't share any of the juicy details cause his "lawyers wouldn't let him" [1]. They wouldn't even let other news organizations look at the incriminating emails [2].

I can confirm this in a sense regarding what I heard when talking to other expats working and living abroad, they say: When you‘ve moved once or twice, you can‘t really stay put anymore and this apathy flows in regarding if and where to actually settle. It‘s interesting how serious this can get and you get a feeling something‘s not right in these people‘s minds. This post here shows a good way to go about it, amen.
> Safari doesn't implement "Add to home screen"

You can add to home screen on iOS when you put

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

in the <head> of your HTML. The WebView then opens from the home screen without browser UI.
Driving LED matrix displays is a good example, since they require good adherance to timing on the output signal. Especially at high refresh rates. There's lots of hobby projects that get away with just using the CPU, but you're throwing a lot of horsepower at something a cheap CPLD could handle fine. There's also solutions like using the "PRU" in a Beaglebone to drive the display...the PRU is basically a microcontroller that can share memory with the CPU, but can work in a more real-time fashion.

So it's not always raw speed, per se, but anything that's sensitive to timing. Linux on a PI can be busy doing something else and miss a critical time to have output (or read) something. An FPGA based solution is working with known loop/io/etc times that don't change.
As a user, I really don't care that Apple broke something intentionally, only that it doesn't work.

It doesn't have to, no. But come on that's not really what is meant here.

It does need to understand certain properties of owls, even if "arrangement of pixels that look like an eye near arrangement of pixels that look like a beak" is as far as it gets. Though as in another thread it is not necessarily the owl (you would need to do something like rendering a la Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) to get closer to some perfect comprehension of an owl.
Agree - just a skim shows that this is a pitch to sell, and fast.

The deck also overstates and overlooks huge issues. What stuck out first is the claim that there is a lot of IP. While I'm sure they have a lot of patents and copyrights and I haven't read the details, I don't see much that is really protect-able. Many patents cover only their particular implementation, and I don't see where the concept of an exercise bike with attached screen/sound showing taped or live media or coaching sessions is protectable. It seems the biggest moat they have is the existing relationships with the stable of instructors - my question is how exclusive and long are those relationships?

The other is the fact that their products are locked to show no other content. Many people just want to watch their selected content while exercising, whether news, Netflix, or some other selected video; this is possible with most competitors, but not with Peloton.

Considering the deck and those two unmentioned items, I don't see how I'd get Peloton back to some exclusive level, short of signing up every instructor in the country and cornering the market on trainer content (not gonna happen). So, yes, he's desperate to sell, and rightly so.

This is a disingenuous argument. JET was not designed as a power plant. Those flywheels are used exclusively to transiently power the copper confinement coils. Since superconduction was discovered, no reactor study has had non-superconducting confinement coils because they are (very obviously) impractical.
Thanks for taking a look!

There are plenty of papers related to this. Before and after that one. The term for this paper might be that it’s a mechanistic study, idk!, but it’s one that establishes a, well, mechanical premise for effects which are known to occur.

This is purely result of the outcome. They threw the guy under the bus while they invested heavily in the same guy just few years back. It's not like Foley suddenly changed his personality after these guys gave him money. They found him interesting enough to invest with him. (As an aside one can even argue that these investors go out of their way to invest in CEOs who act like psychos as those are the ones who have higher probability of giving those 100x returns). If it had worked, everyone including these same investors and media would hail him as crazy genius ie next Steve Jobs.

They were quite happy with him while things were running smooth but as it soon as things went south, he became the worst ever CEO and suddenly Peleton became the worst managed company in history?
But her point stands even if there were mistakes: the press and many scientists, even if unwillingly, have failed to communicate the real state of fusion as an energy source. And I can believe that maybe some representatives did not fully understand the difference between Qtotal and Qplasma and the amount of time a reaction can be sustained (all three things that they would understand if they were explained clearly).
Climate disasters should get a boost because it can lead to war and water scarcity. Consider India and Pakistan. Both of them greatly depend on water from Himalayan glaciers, a source that is rapidly declining due to climate change.

They could end up at war over this, and they both have nukes. They have relatively small stockpiles with relatively small nukes so you might not think this would be a big deal globally--a terrible tragedy still but just a regional tragedy.

Not so. Here is an article [1] and a paper [2] that looks at global consequences of India and Pakistan exchanging 100 nukes (about 1/3 of what they have) each the size of what the US used on Hiroshima at the end of WW II and directed at major population centers in the two countries.

Based on the amount of combustable material in those areas, they estimate that the resulting firestorms would put 1.8 Tg of soot aerosol into the upper atmosphere.

Climate models say the effect of that would be a 1.8℃ temperature reduction and an 8% precipitation reduction lasting for many years.

They then apply state of the art crop models to predict the effect on agriculture. The result would be a serious reduction in yield which would be largest in temperate regions of the US, Europe, and China for 10-15 years.

There would be food shortages and famine in rich countries that normally do not see famine. That can be pretty destabilizing and it is not a stretch to imagine some first world countries might go to war over food--including countries that have a lot more than small stockpiles of Hiroshima-sized nukes.

What's interesting is that this traffic map is also loaded on Mazda cars, but shown in a different application. Somehow the system searches for a HDRadio signal in the background to update this map from an independent receiver.

This is really interesting and exciting to see. Though it probably has a ways to go before being production ready. We've seen to date a few other efforts at connection poolers and balancers in Postgres and every time come back to pgbouncer being the one that works best. While it has its issues, pgbouncer does indeed work. Others we've explored tend to break in unclear ways.

That said some of the things this one looks to solve are indeed very interesting.

I've seen issues at times with pgbouncer being single threaded. Since it's only running against a single core it is possible to peg that core and have a max throughput. While not common we have seen this for customers before, both at Crunchy Data[1] on and back at Citus.

The other interesting piece is sharding. We considered this approach for years at Citus and never managed to pull it off. If you can specify a identifier and it can route accordingly it can give you a lightweight option for sharding really quite easily.

Again, probably has a ways to go, everything we've tried over the last 10 years has failed to live up to a replacement for pgbouncer. But pgcat is attempting to do I'm fully supportive of if it can accomplish it.

[1] On Crunchy Bridge www.crunchybridge.com we have pgbouncer built-in, with multiple pgbouncer support to alleviate single threaded issue.

That's part of the point though: in most of the developed world, it is possible to know who controls a given corporation.

Because there's a rule of law, legal records, required disclosures, all subject to investigation and enforcement by an independent judiciary that creates a public record.

We can bemoan that wealthy people control a majority of assets or that some exceptions slip through the cracks at smaller scale (e.g. offshore shell companies owning assets). But by and large there's no question as to "Who owns Exxon? Or Google? Or Facebook?"

China does not have that.
But Shor's algorithm is for prime factorization, right? Are there equally faster algorithms available for elliptic curves?
I'm surprised they're not spinning the PR angle further - there's a lot to be contested; they could boast how they're more careful than competition, launching Starlink sats in low, very rapidly decaying orbits, and slowly boosting them to their still low orbits, taking on a weather-induced hit of ~$50M to their bottom line by limiting margins so that there's no way their satellites contribute to space junk.
Completely agree. Just like we have financial audits for a reason, we also need some form of algorithm audit process. Present day algorithms optimised for engagement and ad revenue growth are a clear and present danger to democracy as we have known it.
Instead of printing the text, you might think about printing it as a large QR code or some other kind of digital medium that would make it easier to import it. QR codes are pretty resilient.
First step was to make the explicit workflow build, tag, push, pull available for OPA while being compatible with the existing formats used by OPA. This enveloping approach, provides the workflow, explicit semantic versioning, labelling and optional signing, capabilities

Step two is to make OPA natively understand and support OCI images.

Next step would be special image types, and multi layering. For example I would love it if we have separate layers for rego, wasm, and data.json, as the data often needs to eleve independent of the rego and wasm code.

Yup, that's exactly the problem. We need to find an incentive for the ones in power to invest in things that would be good for the future.

Maybe I'm going too far but in the future cryonics and being frozen and be brought back when the promise of these investments be resolved in the future might create some incentives.

> How does compiling a program ensure that it is robust on a range of inputs?

This is quite literally the job of a type system: to impose a semantic interpretation on sequences of "raw bits" and let you specify legal (and only legal) operations in terms of the semantic interpretation rather than the bits.
Legislation, a department taking action within their legal powers.

In the US it really does matter how you do things. Just the whim of the president is not enough for it to happen.

Trump had no legal basis for his order. He liked to act like he was doing things with grand strokes, many of them were doomed to fail. I'm not convinced that he or those around him even cared if they did or not.

I don't think you can read much into an amateur hour / foolish attempt.
Probably not, the water will usually migrate quite a bit before hitting well depth, depending on underlying geology. Composting toilets are also useful in the mountains where septic systems need to be extremely deep or will freeze during the winter.

I do see the space for a septic system designed for rotation - ie that uses a pipe material designed to last X number of years that then itself biodegrades, and can be ploughed and the field used once a sufficient safety fallow period has passed.

I'm not sure clamping has anything to do with constant-time and side-channel attacks.

In very rough terms, not accounting for the cofactor means that there are several related unexpected points for any given Curve25519 key. In theory, these points would allow you to conduct an invalid curve point attack; in practice, you have so few of these points that you leak only a couple bits of key information, unlike with the non-25519-vintage curves, where invalid curve points can leak the entire key over a series of probes. So, for DH systems, people sometimes shrug off clamping.

For Ed25519 and signing systems in general, it's a much bigger deal, because it implies that there are multiple possible validating signatures for a set of inputs, which breaks protocol assumptions.
I was aware they used fiberglass. I was not aware that they removed the clay from under the fiberglass. This makes the car far lighter than it would be as I imagined. However unless a Bugatti is made out of fiberglass this is still just a Facade. Even if they made the body out of the proper material, does this have a Bugatti engine? What about it makes it a Bugatti?

There is some overlap between fitness & attractiveness, though there is also some cultural context to consider. For example, consider a panel of female shotput athletes to be rated on an attractiveness scale by a representative sample of straight men of different ages from around the world. How would they fare contrasted with a similar panel of female gymnasts?

My guess is that healthy people have a greater probability to also be considered attractive. On the flip side, there is likely a much smaller probability of 'attractive' people being objectively healthy, with the numbers changing from place to place and time period.
