Journalism is a craft which takes a level of expertise to master. Many journalists have spent decades mastering this craft which sometimes includes a degree in higher education. Knowing and adjusting for your biases is very much a part of this craft and good journalists do get really good at that skill. In fact knowing and adjusting for your biases is such a big part of journalism that you can assume that a journalist that doesn’t possess this skill is gonna be pretty poor at their job.

Now this is not to say that good journalists employ this skill effortlessly and infallibly. No of course not, however a good journalist will do this better then a person who is not skilled in the craft of journalism. You might claim that I’m putting journalists on a high horse here, however I’m only doing so by recognizing that they practice a craft with increasing skill levels. If this puts journalists on a high horse, then same can be said about physicists or doctors, in that they get better at their craft with practice.
This is a weird, awkward solution to a problem which is far better solved cryptographically (eg, by paired SSL certs).
The first film has a lot more going for it than V. It's not great if you go in expecting a Star Trek movie, though. Scratches a very different itch.
Indeed it is annoying. But the models are linear not because physicists mistakenly believe that the world is linear, but because in most cases linear models are the only ones that one can solve to get qualitative predictions out. Non-linear models can be constructed as well, and then numerically solved on computers to get exact answers. But a physicist is one who understand the essential qualitative features of the world, rather than one who can compute understanding-free numerical answers.

In the words of Dirac, "I consider that I understand an equation when I can predict the properties of its solutions, without actually solving it." This usually only works if your equations are linear.
In the lightning-unlikely chance that I had my druthers, I would go for something like a Koppen Cfb climate, probably near the Hoh rainforest: moderate temperatures, highly overcast, and quite damp. But not near a great number of people.
If you're OK with MacOS, you don't need Linux laptop.
Linux laptop users (like me) have reasons to go into this constrained space :-(

That's said, I roughly agree with you. I have 5530. It's throttled quickly. The battery goes out in a few hours, and yeah, the fan noise.

I'm thinking about giving up Linux and switching to Windows/WSL.
It's a bit too much to live with Linux over this mediocre laptop.
I guess Dell laptops will work fine with Windows.
Obviously not in the same way. Overall system failure rates comparing cable vs digital throttle control - I have no idea.

I do know that I can’t remember the last time I drove a car with a bad idle, which is much more than anyone who lived in 80s can say.

Also: throttle by wire permits simpler cruise control integrations, better fuel economy and also facilitates the operation of safety systems like traction/stability control - so it’s not exactly a like-for-like comparison.
"Hanlon's razer" I agree it makes more sense
Congrats Tom! Can’t wait to have a use-case for this (soon!)

It's comparable based off of the fundamentals and I have the same question.

They both use KVs using LSMs, do range queries, support ACID transactions, handle resharding and clustering for you.

They're both based off of Spanner fundamentals. They both actually have an SQL layer - foundationdb's is the record layer. Just because one has a primary SQL interface doesn't mean we can't compare.

I'd really like to know a comparison of the fundamentals including hotspot management, resharding, read/write performance, resharding etc. also and have been looking for this.

I bet it could probably be done by doing statistical analysis or some AI technique to analyze one's browsing data, and maybe combining it with other information about you that they get from other sources (purchase history, social media participation, etc...).

The problem for them is that even if it works this adds extra processing time, effort, and development time.. which can add up when aggregated over the many millions/billions of users they have.

Much easier to just oppose effective ad blockers.
I thought about this too! Surely Gary, IN wouldn't be targeted, but with biggest steel mills in the US, maybe it would?
My favorite quote applies again, if you consider games one of the technologies:

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

― Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt

I recently learned about the "nuclear sponge" strategy. The US has a bunch of ICMBs stationed in remote areas in hopes of drawing nuclear strikes to those areas, away from population centers[0].

Appears to be about a system in normal RAMs, not specific to this Finland thing. I’d be curious if it’s the same speed limiter with a variable changed, or a different easier-to-remove system.
Coral is a great project, especially if you are using a completely vanilla off-the-shelf model. However if you've ever tried compiling a custom ML model for it, you know how finicky it can be. There are lots of ways that you can accidentally make it impossible for Coral to run your model, and it can be difficult to figure out what went wrong.

With Tensil, you circumvent that problem by changing the hardware to make it work for your model. If you have made modifications to an off-the-shelf model or have trained your own one from scratch, it might be a better option from the point of view of ease-of-use and even performance.
So would it be compiled from C or so?
I think it's fair to assume no Russian companies will be able to press a complaint (lawsuit) in the West for a long time.
I feel this is a reaction to various PA policies. In PA, there is a law that selling land to Israelis is punished by death. In Gaza, Hamas declaration of principles states that the goal of Hamas is to destroy the state of Israel.
This can be defended in two ways:

1. Practical. Porn is banned because Stripe doesn't allow payment for porn. In turn Stripe doesn't allow that because the chargeback rate on such payments is very high, supposedly due to the number of people who buy porn because they want it and then get caught by their spouses and claim their card must have been stolen. At any rate, a blogging/newsletter platform is not exactly optimized for porn anyway. The people who want to buy and sell that are better served by other platforms.

2. Theoretical. Porn is not "speech" because speech encodes ideas or viewpoints. The reason freedom of speech is important is because ideas and viewpoints are important, as it's only through the competition of ideas that progress occurs. Defending free speech takes a lot of work, but can be justified by the benefits. Defending porn would take even more work, but wouldn't yield the same social benefits.
You might want to look up "geo-politically stable" web hosting. Aside from that, Epik.com has traditionally been quite supportive of free speech (even if it's Trump supporters).
Kindergartners discuss sexual orientation all the time; it's extremely common for them to "play house" with an imaginary spouse or to read about married couples in books or to see them portrayed in movies or TV shows. Not all of the fantasy life of kindergartners revolves around sexual orientation—much of it is instead built around fantastic monsters, sports, animals that actually exist, killing people, and driving large earthmoving machines—but it's very common for it to center on sexual orientation in these ways. Moreover, many of them live with married adult couples, so they are exposed to their sexual orientation on a daily basis, and they talk about it with each other.

What would you do if you saw two kindergartners playing house, either as husband and wife or with one of them referring to her imaginary husband? Would you really tell them it was "completely unacceptable" because it involves heterosexuality?

Can you show me their SQL layer? I was looking for it.
The Netflix thing makes me so angry sometimes. They have the show, the title, description, episode titles and descriptions are all localized to my language of choice (English), but when I actually start watching I can only select French or Original Dub & French Sub.

Yeah, I agree with your point and can see the usefulness. Sorry for trolling, just couldn't resist :-/
I'm sure this is location specific, but I don't trust human drivers to stop until they're already hitting the brake, even if I make eye contact with them. I'd feel a lot more confident stepping out in front of a self-driving car.
You have clearly forgotten about the Chrysler/Dodge K-Car series.
Neat project! Would be nice if it integrated data like wildfires, mudslides, floods, storms/winds, crime, mosquito populations, to be a truly useful aid in home site locating.
The same thing was being in India where home inverters were sold with a UPS toggle switch on the back (which did absolutely nothing).

But due to the low tax rate on computer components at that time significantly drove the price of the item lower.
it is a problem. if you go to buy the album today, the updated versions already have the offending samples removed. the originally released CD does not have this problem.

That's...not how conquering your independent neighbors works.
The boots can crack and let in dirt and salt spray. To avoid premature replacement, watch for that and replace the boot with an aftermarket “split” boot, which can be done without removing the c/v. I think most shops will just replace the joint when they see a torn boot, however.
You should also consider that the whole idea of a network of large independent system operators is part of the reason why power can be cheap in the US - you can dispatch the most economically viable generation source over a wide area. The UK is roughly equivalent to a mid-sized US state in terms of energy market (roughly half the market of California, for example). Having the UK act as it's own electrical balancing authority and responsible for it's own power contracts is remarkably inefficient. The prices reflect that. In a sane world all of Europe would be under a common balancing authority that could dispatch power economically based on the generation and load across the entire region. The US is moving in this direction, we've already got several very large BAs and will eventually be under a single authority or a few very large regional authorities.

This is one of those many cases where the politics of the situation and the physics of the situation go to war and the politics wins.
These are my 2 least favorite ways of being reached.

"Are you there?"
This phrase makes me feel like I'm being accused of not being available if I don't reply and I find it rude and inconsiderate of other's time.

Of course I am...?

I would leave both of these on unread until the end of time.
I don’t know if this is true in Seattle, but in Portland we’re having a huge problem hiring police officers despite having the budget to do it. The reason is the police culture. It’s well known that our police force tolerates a lot of bad behavior, including open racism, and nobody wants to work there because of it. It also doesn’t help that because of that behavior, lots of people in the city hate the police.

I wish there was some guarantee of a movie's integrity matches the original disc. There are so many versions of a file floating around and while the file size of 80-100GB seems to indicate no transcoding, you can't be 100% sure.
Guessing there would be several aimed at each city of any size, and the targeted locations would be spread out a bit to maximize impact. If you're conducting an all-out nuclear assault you're probably not pulling any punches.
Women specifically do not want to be in cars which they cannot even theoretically control.
Or perhaps the opposite where more cities and suburbs become like San Francisco and everyone is so afraid to go outside they retreat into darth vader pods with internet connections or escape to Fiji like Larry.
> By purposefully attacking civilians they gave up their rights.

The scope is pretty well-defined.
> I mean, just based off personal recollection, 2 VCRs was rarer than two TVs, since the second TV would be a small 15 inch in the kitchen permanently tuned to the Andy Griffith show or an old TV in the garage for football games.

This is accurate, though by the early 90s some houses had three TVs. The third kind was the one from the late 70s or early 80s that'd recently been replaced by a new "main" TV, which older TV sat in a spare bedroom or basement "rec room" and you had to hit it sometimes to keep it working.
Okay, so how about this:

Government, as in social regulation, like manners, rules both implicit and explicit emerge in any count of humans greater than one. Thus it can be conferred that government is an endemic quality of humans. This can be, and has granted the conception of property and property rights in various forms. It needs no funding, nor formal institution, only public assent. Markets form naturally without the state: barter, debt, and spontaneous exchange (think of ideas, techniques) occur independently and ultimately have very little to do with property rights.

Then there's the "state" (frankly a disingenuous term) which holds a monopoly on violence. With that monopoly they can enforce property concepts of a wide variety. The state maintains power with assent from a power plurality. Of course with that very same power the state government can control a much wider gamut of human interaction. For example they can mandate education at the threat of either jailing a parent for charges of neglect, or assuming the child as the liability of the state government. They can also fund and direct the curriculum taught in schools.

Graeber, in his book Debt speaks on the emergence of money (which itself can emerge independently) this is typified by accepting only one medium to reconcile taxes, specie, which itself is state government issued. The logical consequence of this is that the specie would be necessary to everyone within the authority of the state, and so it assumes the nature of universality. Of course with the position of authority the state government assumes they can mint and debase currency. He also argues that this system was put into action to simplify military campaigns. The predominating mode of exchange previously being debt between trusted parties, otherwise neighbors. Remuneration from a strange soldier who could abscond or die is a risky proposition.

But we can have one without the other. The state itself is predicated on a virulent, and thus, circular fiction, and we've actually got very little in the way of a true impression of precisely how it emerged. One common interpretation is mutual defense. In the fashion of a circular argument it self-amplifies. A neighbor becomes a state, upregulates a military, and so the reasonable course of action is to tit-for-tat and form a state government, upregulating a military. And so forth. Likewise the same can be said of capitalism and acquisitive behavior in general, which are favored by the state and business which also form another amplifying system.

>Governments used to be the only way for large groups of people to work toward a common goal, before private companies were allowed to form.

All the above considered, yes, but only the loosest sense of government, which can be dictated by family, culture, religion, or even business, which itself can operate without a formalized state government.

However, documents leaked in June 2019 to Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept suggest that Judge Sérgio Moro may have been partial in his decisions,[20] passing on 'advice, investigative leads, and inside information to the prosecutors'[21] to 'prevent Lula's Workers' Party from winning' the 2018 elections.[21] Several top jurisprudence authorities and experts in the world have reacted to the leaks by describing former President Lula as a political prisoner and calling for his release.[22][23] Lula was ultimately released on 8 November 2019,[24] and Brazil's Supreme Court ruled justice Moro was biased against Lula in March 2021.[25]
For the context, ’listing as an extremist organisation’ is just a euphemism for forbidding a government-opposing group of people and harassing them individually with prosecution, while ‘opening a criminal case’ means than the gov found another company who's doing too much of the opposition thing. Both are nothing new here.

(Of course, FB's specific action the FB-Kremlin exchange here are rather nonsensical and even comical, compared to the usual proceedings.)
There are other western countries with very strict immigration policies. I think this applies to Switzerland and to Japan, for example.
>> Because Finland is a member of the European Union, it must adhere to a particular directive that requires speed limiting devices to be installed if the N2 vehicle is used on the road.

Does this mean that no vehicle in this weight class is permitted to go over 55 mph anywhere in the EU, regardless of tax and whether the vehicle is foreign or domestic?
Mazes and Monsters is quite the trip down memory lane.

I vividly remember being told that my interest in Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, Warhammer and the Warlock and White Dwarf magazines was a gateway to the occult, by my form tutor/RE teacher.

Mind you the precise issue of Warlock that provoked that outburst was this one:

http://www.fightingfantasycollector.co.uk/Warlock_13.jpg

Which on reflection is pretty striking.

Can't remember if this one or another issue is the one that contained quite a neat, viable Fighting Fantasy tabletop ruleset. Wish I still had these; they were so very British.

Edit: it was the issue before, in fact:

> Just listen to the settings that specify what language the user wants. That's what it's for.

In case you haven't noticed: Users lie. All the time. Every day.

If Google found that "just listening to the settings in the HTTP request header" helped more users than it hurt, Google would have switched to using it a long time ago. The web is a messy place - sometimes you can't even trust a website to report its own encoding correctly.
I don't know about nukes, but large conventional bombs have an unintuitive survival distance profile. Something like <10 units away, you die, 10-20 units away, you can survive, 20-30 units away you die, >30 units away you survive.
The trick is results in French are extremely bad quality, tech articles are dumbed down, tutorials in French lose nuance, and, well, good luck finding Hacker News in French. It was a revolution for me when I gained access to the English web, it’s the origin of the documents! I want results in English because the quality is higher in English!
Yeah; the distributed ledger thing was always a funny value prop to me because it was like…so, replace what we already do today and are responsible for the accuracy of due to many various laws with…something orders of magnitude slower, orders of magnitude more complex, that requires orders of magnitude more compute power so we can…expose all transaction records to everyone involved?

Also, re: art, kinda agree: the current gallery system takes a huge cut of sale prices and a lot of galleries don’t do much to help artists. The real winners, though, are the landlords.

We’ve purchased art with checks before, and even in the “mid-range” price segment, logistics are much more of a problem than counterfeit risk. The logistical part still needs a good solution. Putting a large piece on a palette and trying to get a shipping company to treat it like the delicate and irreplaceable piece it is is tough and/or very expensive. Putting a canvas in the mail is a huge risk. Discovery is another big problem, as many people who might buy art don’t even know how to do so. It’s not like you just scan a QR code and enter your credit card details. A lot of it today is a very personal high-touch sales process that doesn’t always add value (much like cars, but sometimes with zero sleaze if you’re dealing with the actual artist directly). Once you get to the broker model and “if you have to ask” pricing it’s even more opaque and in more need of a solution that isn’t just auctions, but NFTs aren’t the solution.
