Evidence please. (Of contaminants in water tables, not the toxicity of oil)
Same. I have a 32" 1440p display and am considering grabbing one of these when I get back to the states in a few months. I could live without the speakers, but honestly if they're "good enough" they might kick my powered studio monitors off of my desk. I like my powered speakers but I don't use them anywhere near the volume they thrive at so it might be worth it to re-examine my workflow as a hobbyist.
Yeah. A few years ago I revisited a Twitter account I had registered and not used. And I posted for a while.

And then I realised I hated the trajectory I was on, and I deleted every single post and the account.

I now have an account and, like the article says, I don't post.

Twitter is a bonfire of nastiness.

You either give in to it or you have to commit to spending an awful lot of time ignoring the cesspit of general awfulness, and pretending bad faith is good faith for the purposes of dialogue with sealions who learned their chops through Gamergate.

If you tire of all that (or if you are a woman and tire of the astonishing, violent sexualised nastiness that you disproportionately attract) and make use of the conversation controls so you can continue to peacefully discuss things only with people you want to, everyone else accuses you of being "aFrAiD oF dEbAtE" or censorship, everywhere else. (Including here.)

Stuff that.
I was not in airplane mode, but we were 20k ft above ground. It logged me out about 40 minutes into the flight which makes 0 sense to me.

To be fair to Spotify it never happened to me before. Maybe it’s their DRM that just locks you out if it can’t reach the server with a timeout of 1 hour or so (1 hour conditional on the last attempt being a failure).
Eh, reads fine to me. Helps break up the list so that people don't just skim over it, I'd guess.
I’d bet on no just cause how long it would take to certify and ratify. I don’t like bets where I put up a lot to win a little.
Just curious - did the consultants working there made anything out of this deal?
Other commenters correctly pointed out that it's because of the TV deals which preclude home grown streaming services, but they seem to believe that once those deals end the leagues will switch to their own streaming services. I'm not so sure. These TV deals have values in the billions. Will the owners really be willing to risk billions of dollars for the chance to make a few more billions? I know that I'd be happy to ride the gravy train as long as it's coming.

Setting up their own services is risky. Most viewers aren't willing to pay extra for individual games or leagues, they want an entire sports package. People are slow to make changes. I'd expect leagues to lose huge amounts of money the first year or two if they created their own service while they try to sign people up. The most palatable way for sports to get into streaming seems like it'd be to team up with an existing streaming service, Amazon seems like the most likely contender here. But the problem with that is one of the biggest advantages of streaming sports is being able to have seamless gambling integration in the service. I'm not sure the big streamers would be interested in that.
Does this mean the world can eventually look forward to a new soft drink?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanta#Origins

> During the Second World War, the US established a trade embargo against Nazi Germany, making the export of Coca-Cola syrup difficult. To circumvent this, Max Keith, the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland (Coca-Cola GmbH), decided to create a new product for the German market, using only ingredients available in Germany at the time, including beet sugar, whey, and apple pomace—the "leftovers of leftovers", as Keith later recalled. The name was the result of a brainstorming session, which started with Keith's exhorting his team to "use their imagination" (Fantasie in German), to which one of his salesmen, Joe Knipp, retorted "Fanta!".
There will always be apps that use all the power you throw at them. Raytracing scales pretty much linearly with the core count. Compression does too.

But your everyday apps like your browser have been fast for at least a decade.
A DMZ is a good idea, but it doesn't address Russia's demand that no nukes be stationed in Ukraine (or other countries on its border) either.

I'm not sure how much that matters in practice, since nukes can be delivered by submarine or through ICBMs, but regardless, that's what Russia wants and a DMZ won't address that demand.
Stella, the First Talking Dog
Brain Drain in Russia is nothing new. I'd imagine there'll be an initial spike in the rate of it, but as sanctions take effect and everyone becomes poorer it will slow as people simply won't be able to afford to leave.

Or are they even able to - are there increased visa restrictions yet?
Reasonable-sounding people in the West will — already are — argue that the combined economies of Poland, the Baltic States, Romania, etc. are not worth WWIII and that a comfortable and secure Russia will want to reintegrate into the global economy and can be reasoned with. From a purely rational perspective, they are not wrong. Even if it means the end of NATO, that’s preferable to Armageddon. The Germans have long belittled Poland, the Balts, etc. as irrational and irrelevant in their pursuit of a stable equilibrium with Russia. And the US? Even more removed from this conflict with an increasingly difficult set of its own domestic challenges and institutional decline.
People expertise can be hired. That doesn't overcome the pollution allowances other countries have. It's cheaper and easier to pollute over there.
Yeah, I have to use twitter sometimes to check for immediate status bulletins from certain companies. I just hold my nose, check their stream, and immediately exit.

And, of course, sometimes I accidently click on a link on HN that points to Twitter without realizing it, and I have to NOPE back out as fast as possible.
> These are vastly different probabilities

When it comes to certainty about an outcome (i.e. a hypothesis), they're not really that different. Probabilities are not linear, and start at 0.5. In log-odds terms were talking about 2.19 vs -1.04... not really a shocking amount of information. Sure in terms of gambling odds this might be useful but not for making any concrete statements about the world.

To your point:

> I bet most companies would die to turn up conversion rates up even 1 or 2 percent.

This is talking about two very different things. I would also be happy if I had a known 2 percent increasing in my stock performance. We're talking about quantifying uncertainty (though these criticism hold even in a frequentist frame work). I certainly wouldn't "die for" 2% absolute increase in my confidence about something (unless I'm 98% confident already!)

We're talking about our confidence in a hypothesis. At no company I've worked at would I be anywhere near comfortable stating that a 0.9 probability that A > B is enough to call an A/B test on. I'm going to be very skeptical of any analysis I'm doing if mode coefficients have anywhere near that probability of a sign error.

If you have no other information, then sure if I am 90% confident that one choice is stronger than other I'll go with the limited information that I have. However anyone with a statistics background would view either of these numbers as being very uncertain. That's arguably why these numbers are so good for betting, you want there to be a lot of uncertainty when gambling or it's no fun.

But as far as statistics is considered both 0.9 and 0.26 are essentially uninteresting numbers, that lead to very low confidence in the conclusion being drawn.
This line is nonsense and you can safely ignore it. There have been multi-chip-modules that act like a single socket for many years. In particular, pretty much every current AMD CPU works that way. I guarantee you that for the M1 Ultra, just like every CPU before it, the abstraction will be leaky. Programmers will still care about the interconnect when eking out the last few percent of performance.

Remember the Pentium D? Unfortunately, I used to own one.
That's more a problem of vagueness and guessing than real complexity, because it's slang with unclear/multiple meanings. Some people use "trap" to mean transgender, some people use it to mean transvestite. Everything beyond that is based on intent.
It doesn’t look like it’s a “free” upgrade, Poland will still have to pay something to get F-16s. Let’s see what they settle on.
It's also worth emphasizing that we're basically seeing the best version of Russia's military. They've spent years preparing for this current war and had total control over when and where the fighting would start.

Having to scramble for an unexpected war is 10x harder and more complicated.

Large militaries are also very expensive. Right now it's looking like Russia is going to have a very hard time funding their current apparratus.
its beyond that. the same chip might have several tdps and drastic performance differences between models, such that a high tdp 3070 mobile is faster than a low tdp 3080. you end up having to get benchmarks for each particular laptop configuration.
I don't know about the rest of Latin America, but baseball is not popular at all in Brazil
If so, IMO that's where things get really interesting. If these things can equip modern NATO weapons, and (here's a big if) if they've been retrofitted with good enough sensor & comm suites to use them, then this transfer takes on a whole new dimension.

I've been assuming they're stuck on Soviet weapons and with upgraded, but still outdated, electronics, but if that's not the case, it changes things a lot.
there are filter plugins that will kill off 90% of the garbage if you're dedicated enough to add filter words and tags. You'll never get rid of all of it though. I personally don't tweet, but I do follow people that I admire/enjoy their thoughts. Also a few news feeds just to stay abreast of stuff.

IANA… not L, but anyway. Maybe they're trying to attack a few bits and pieces so the convoy locks up lots of Russians and their equipment and can't be either resupplied or moved. (Tankers and other trucks would need to refueld the entire convoy.)
> I'm still confused about what cultural policies the "woke" left implemented that would encourage other dems to vote for a third middle way part should one exist.

I don't think there are any, but a lot of "independents" are fundamentally moderate and Democrats typically have a lower party-id than Republicans, so they need more independents to break their way to win a national election, hence "distancing" from far-Left/woke positions at election time.

Biden, for instance, made "equity" his priority literally Day 1 in office, and that's a "woke" position. It has only hurt him with voters on the Right, who don't like the Left's cultural platform anyway and can be ignored.

Both the Right and Left frequently talks about 3rd parties because literally half of what they want is never implemented. The Left is far more active in politics, so they tend to actually do something about it (DSA, Green Party, etc.). Republicans mostly just occasionally vote Libertarian, but there's also the occasional Tea Party if the Left gets anything that even looks like a win on economics.
> Why can’t you? Is it impossible to imagine civil friendly people who simply do not share one’s views on these issues?

For gay, it means keeping secret over pretty large and important parts of life. As was explained to me by gay who was super civil, but did grumbled and complained about a lot of stuff that was said when it was safe to talk more openly.
Running a program with fixed-rate 60hz (a lot of games) would cause judder. It's the same sort of reason they don't do 150% scaling; you want integer multiples of the "low-fi" version so that you can upscale without artifacting.
I had trouble finding it on the product page, even after scrolling through all the animations.
Apple sells refurbished phones for around a 20% discount.
My conclusion (without any scientific verification) is people make assumption about my social media use. (I feel I've written this somewhere else)

I use Facebook for my entertainment, reacting on car memes, sarcastic memes and genuinely car things and sports. Oh and I watch TV on Facebook. meeting people real life in this city has been.... ehhh special. (But I think the things I do on Facebook isn't special, there isn't that much politics.)

I don't forget the times that I laughed so hard some posts, because it so funny.

But at the end of the day... it's people and nothing is going to fix that.
With respect, this isn’t an accurate interpretation of an odds ratio. If you look at other cancers with a clear viral cause (EBV and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, HPV and cervical cancer), you will see that nearly 100% of tumours show evidence of viral infection and the odds ratios are very high, even though the viruses are ubiquitous.

The data for HPV and prostate cancer suggest, at best, an indirect effect such as inflammation rather than direct viral oncogenesis.

In any case, how do you modify this potential risk factor? Celibacy or vaccination. As I said, I would encourage any teenage male to get the HPV vaccine. It is worth paying for, if you can.
And hopefully not make you deaf with their buzzing fans
Would this apply to "Software Fabrication" as well?
Yes. I am talking about civilian casualties, you strawmanning with insurgents. Or why did you mention them, what is your reasoning? "They killed hundred our children so we kill thousand of theirs?"
The UK said the same to Australia. No one came during after the bombing of Darwin , in fact it was AU troops that ended up helping out the empire.
I always prefer Fanta or Sinalco over a coke and I wasn't aware of this fact. Very interesting.
Brain Flops
Through you would need to compare it to the coming threadripper 5000WX(?) or better the soon coming Ryzen 7000 CPUs (which seen to have integrated graphics).

I mean they all are CPUs coming out this year as far as I know.
Still 16:9
> Seems disingenuous to not mention that most of that US oil (65%!) comes from environmentally destructive practices, which is a damn good reason to prefer imports.

This reads like the NIMBY stance of oil production. “Make whatever mess you want, keep it where it is! Can’t have that happening in my state/country!”

So you’d rather export pollution instead of being energy independent and trying to fix fracking laws?
Living in the hole I am living in seems to shield me from this. I had no idea that "Settlers of Catan" has been rebranded to just "Catan" or why. In my circles we call it "Settlers", "Settlers of Catan" or just "Catan" interchangeably all the time. The "controversial" one is "Settlers" if you talk to someone you might also play a round of Settlers the computer game with (as in these guys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Settlers)
Thank you, Apple, but no:

- only 60hz;

- no DisplayPort/HDMI;

- anti-glare coating (I hate the blurriness of matte displays).
Poland actually maintained them themselves and were sued by Russia for it.
It's one of the only sane form factors available if you need off-site compute power running on MacOS. The rack mount Mac Pro helped to fill that niche somewhat, but they're just insanely expensive.

Amazon has dedicated Mac hardware in AWS as well and the pricing is also crazy expensive.

For large app devs though, the cost is worth it to build their apps in the cloud without bogging down their local machines constantly. If you have rebuild targets for a half dozen OS versions, it can add up!

Datacenters are the solution and the Mac Mini just so happened to be the form factor that was available and could be made to work with less hassle than accommodating laptops.
I do this, and it supports 144 hz.
The M1 Max/Ultra is already extremely dense design for that approach, it's really almost as dense as you can make it. There's packages stacked on top, and around, etc. I guess you could put more memory on the backside but that's not going to do more than double it, assuming it even has the pinout for that (let's say you could run it in clamshell mode like GDDR, no idea if that's actually possible, but just hypothetically).

The thing is they're at 128GB which is way way far from 1.5TB. You're not going to find a way to get 12x the memory while still doing the embedded memory packages.

Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised but it seems like they're either going to switch to (R/LR)DIMMs for the Mac Pro or else it's going to be a "down" generation. And to be fair that's fine, they'll be making Intel Mac Pros for a while longer (just like with the other product segments), they don't have to have every single metric be better, they can put out something that only does 256GB or 512GB or whatever and that would be fine for a lot of people.
Yeah, to be clear, the fingerprint reader is what never worked well for me. 2-3x a year of re-training because it'd stop working at all if the air (and so, my skin) got too dry, or too wet. Pretty bad success rate even when it was "working". Masks aside, face unlock has worked great for me.

[EDIT] But if touch-to-unlock had worked for me, and if I had to take one or the other, I might prefer it.
At least, given the statement, they're currently being redirected to Ramstein though - I wonder if that is for servicing before forwarding them to Ukraine.
The bulk of the Left wing has moved past the whole "coddle them" method where the comfort of the other side is prioritized above all, while the entire time they are passing laws to marginalize and harass people and rolling back the Voting Rights Act.

Ugh really wish that a non-Apple vendor could make an ARM chip of this calibre. Jealous but cat bring myself to use a proprietary OS and get locked into Apple.
This right here.
Also the US invasions on Afghanistan, Iraq Libya Syria.
It all plays into the Russian justification of their attack.

It's of course more complex.
How do you think recruiters will find you if you dont self promote. How do you think you will compete with others in the same org when you dont talk about your achievements. Even best products and services needs great marketing to suceed. When you can talk about F500 executives, you should know that the auto company valued most in the world is run by a twitter troll thriving on attention and promotion.

What you talk about is what I would prefer the world to be, but the reality is everything depends on marketing and especially marketing in social media.
> I feel guilty when our customers have repeated bugginess in our app.

You might be feeling over-responsible for the bugginess in your app. If you did your job perfectly, which forces in the environment around you would still cause you to ship bugs?

In your shoes, I would still want to do everything in my power to limit the bugs that I ship---that's why I practise TDD, for example---but I look carefully for the boundary between what lies within my control/authority and what doesn't, then I refuse responsibility for what doesn't lie within my control/authority. And that was a more-than-a-decade-long change in my mindset.

Not everyone likes TDD; I don't mind. I have a system that helps catch my mistakes sooner, so that I limit the associated damage. I have a very effective system, which I trust, and which therefore allows me to work aggressively: if I can recover from failures inexpensively, then I don't need to agonize over failures. If I drive the cost of failure down close enough to 0, then I don't need as urgently to limit the probability of failure.

What can you do in your work that might help you limit the cost of failure? If you had that, maybe you'd feel less guilty about making mistakes, because you'd done significant work to limit the cost of those mistakes.

Good luck.
Right, its security by deterrence. Besides its not like you can anonymously drain someones bank account, someone claims fraud on your 10,000$ charge you're getting a phone call from your bank.
Several elements of this list are out of date already; Unilever and Coca-Cola for example. Frankly, I think the near total inability for Russian customers to pay people is probably going to only add to the boycott.

The ruble has been interesting to watch over the last few days; it sinks massively, recovers a bit and is held firm, and then sinks again. Everyday russians sure are paying a huge price for their leader -- just not as big a price as everyday Ukrainians.
Do you have a source backing your claim?
There are gazillion of people in Russian federation who are not "Russians" culturally, Abkhazians speak Russian and South Ossetians are invaders into Georgia from North Ossetia which is... Part of Russia.

Also, there are no "oppressed minorities" in Georgia, never was. That would be part of Russian propaganda.
I bet you he is only prepared to give up Crimea. That's the only area where referendum to join Russia could actually be fair and passed.

I often used the MLB app’s ability to play the local radio audio instead of TV audio. There’s still some good ol’ drunk radio announcers in baseball.
> nah, hidpi on Windows is fine if you know what you're doing as an application developer.

Many (most?) don't or can't be bothered so the end result in practice is that it doesn't work. Microsoft has been chasing the HiDPI fairy for decades and the situation hasn't really gotten better. They still ship software (both in and outside the OS) that isn't HiDPI aware.

Retina prioritizes making it easy for developers to adopt: Double the size of artwork, points are 2 pixels, Done. Are there quibbles? Sure. But millions of people are looking at HiDPI screens where every single thing in the OS and all third party apps they use fully support 2x.

No one lives in the magical world where arbitrary scaling factors are supported. Doing that as a developer is just too damn complicated when @1x + @2x (and maybe @3x) makes 98% of people happy and is vastly less work.
Exposing my limited understanding of that level of the computing stack - it is but Apple seems to have very very good caching strategies - filesystem and L1/2/3.

https://llvm.org/devmtg/2017-10/slides/Ueyama-lld.pdf

There is a breakdown in those slides discussing what parts of lld are single threaded and hard to parallelize so I suspect single thread performance plays a big role too. I generally observe one core pegged during linking.
So, to summarize: perfect size for one handed operation; Physical button is also a fingerprint reader (but i don't see the confirmation everywhere, only on some sites). No 3.5 jack (sigh).

I am still a very content user of 2nd gen SE. Thanks to the controversy with purposeful "slowing down" of aging phones, i was able to get a discounted battery replacement a few years back. So, my phone is holding up very well!

But if it does break - i guess I'll be getting this one instead of 'smallish' Pixel.
I don’t see any benefit in testing simple validation rules. Just properly review your rules, and focus on useful tests.
