So is an H.264/H.265 video clip at 5 or even 10 mbit/s on my 4 years old iPhone, at about 2 watts of power consumption instead of 35 watts. Can you see the advantage?

I like open and free standards, and I dislike royalties, but the political aspect is best foregone when one of the alternatives really is objectively so much better for everyone.
This analogy is quite lacking.

You should also mention that this medicine rich people are collecting also has
dozens of other alternative medicines with hundreds of thousands in volume because other cities exist.

Also you should mention that some of these rich people are not rich people at all, but working class people who's lived in a location for decades which has become a desirable location in recent years thanks to some other people who generated wealth in the area.

Also you forgot to bring up the local government ran by some of these rich people who are blocking any measure to increase the supply of the medicine in the area. This certainly can crash the entrenched medicine cartel in the city, but some of these cities are North Korean style de facto one party system where no other opposition may challenge the status quo.
My completely unscientific anecdote. i7 6600k, opened the link, Chrome CPU went from < 1%->14% which is similar to VP9 decoding.

I know so little about this space so not sure how helpful the comparison is, but it is like magic what we are able to do with math.
I think that's pretty unlikely, at least with schoolbuses. The US has laws around child privacy and advertising that companies easily flaunt online, but are much more difficult to flaunt when your product is a physical bus.

OTOH, I would not be surprised to see these buses rusting in a storage lot within a decade because these firms have closed up shop and some random server somewhere is no longer responding to requests. I hope (but am not hopeful) that municipal and state governments take measures during procurement to ensure that they aren't being turned into captive customers.
Fastmail’s email search features also allows you to search for emails based on their content or attachments; ProtonMail’s search function doesn’t let you search through email contents unless you ask it to download all your email to your browser’s cache.

Doesn't this imply that Fastmail has access to the decrypted contents of messages?
You have to be spending 7,000 a year to break even on prime, because the Chase Amazon card gives 3% cash back if you don't have Prime.
That pet theory is what got it classified as a drug of interest in the first place. That's why most of us even know what ivermectin is.
I'm having a hard time imagining a stand-up where everyone on the team does not already know what you were doing yesterday. The board has your closed tasks and your current task. Your stand-up is to give progress on your task. What's going on that people don't know what task they have been working on?
He probably means that a systemic risk is a risk for the whole system, like the Russian and Ukranian stock markets now that they are at war.
> while in rendering it is all about surface effects.

I would have agreed with you back in the 80's.

But since then, taking care of atmospheric / volumetric effects in rendering is absolutely essential to rendering realistic scenes, especially in movie SFX.

I'm not going to claim that SFX folks care about being physically accurate when doing volume rendering, but they do care a very great deal about clouds fog, subsurface rendering, light rays through mist, etc ...
Your comment makes it seem like the article is placing Amazon in the "click to subscribe, call to cancel" category.

It doesn't, and they aren't. "1 click to subscribe, 3 clicks to cancel" is hardly a burden, and it shouldn't be implied that it's in any way comparable to what the NYT/The Economist/etc do.
I know that I can't charge the PS5 controller off the switch dock, at least. I never have to charge the Pro Controller while the PS5 controller only lasts a few hours, so that would have been handy.
Yep. You should see the situation in beautiful yet remote places like the Isle of Skye in Scotland or the Outer Hebrides. If you have some land, it's a no brainer to build a holiday rental. A pre-fab will cost you maybe 120k (after the land) and it's k/week or more during peak season to rent it out.

Of course, it means prices are going insane. A complete wreck of a house we were interested in buying and turning into an actual home which I thought would be worth max 200k went for 450, cash, from a buyer who never even saw it.

They'll tear it down, stick a new house on it, and make their investment back in 5 years.

Meanwhile, all the locals kids, go away and don't come back. What is there for them there anymore? Not a lot.
Wow I was about to start developing something similar for my own needs. I’ll give this a try instead!
This hasn't always been the case with real estate though. The market used to be much more accessible, and tech bubbles overlapping into it are just further destroying it.
Thank you, happy to hear you like the published version. We have a free 7 day trial, feel free to get started with that. Let us know how your experience goes and if needed we can expand your trial period.
Agreed, but there are big structural barriers. We generally want necessary goods to have stable or decreasing prices over time. But in America, we encourage home ownership as an investment. For many, their biggest investment. That creates a big constituency who want housing prices to go up. But we also want people, especially those just starting out, to have affordable housing.

We can't have housing be both affordable and a good long-term investment. We need to pick. And given increasing prices and how 65% of Americans are howmeowners, I think we already did.
It's luxury almost everywhere.

The only place cheaper housing is being built are in developments on the far outer suburbs of flyover cities. But even those builders are having trouble with supplies and labor.
This is why I use TKLs. I use a separate Leopold mechanical numpad placed on the left, so that the home row keys are more or less centered in my keyboard tray and under my monitor.

Also much nicer for playing Civ and other games that don't use WASD for camera control.
It’s very difficult to evict folks in Colorado, according to someone I know who buys and rents homes for a living.

I think most landlords are pro tenant until they find someone who knows how to work the system. It costs them so much that they are skiddish to all renters.
Currently I use Outline as it’s designed to punch through networks that don’t want to allow VPNs. Is there any reason to switch to algo?

That graph showing poverty reduction in the last 20/40/60 years is wild, and very encouraging. This is so important, because it’s almost impossible to get people to cooperate on solving long term existential risks while their own short term existence is at risk.
> Let's take this to the extreme, do you think you have a right to set up a commercial kitchen in your home, and set up patio furniture for random people to show up and order take out?

You can do this in Japan. Why shouldn't you be able to do this?
>If you really want to be safe, you could run your own VPN

Then you are placing your trust in your VPS provider (unless you are running the VPN on your home network, and then you are trusting your ISP).

At the end of the day you have to trust someone right? (ignoring the can of worms that is TOR). I know my ISP is untrustworthy and salivating over my data. I am unable to easily translate the privacy policies of a VPS provider, but VPN providers are at least explicitly claiming that they don't sell your data.
Let's all live in caves then. Let's not talk about how life outside caves is possible or better than living in a cave. Solving problems hurts people's feelings.

We should be happy living in caves and punish people that suggest anything better... until the tribe across the river with bronze weapons kills us.

Thank you for building and sharing this. While many people rightly point out that this isn't a replacement for Google yet, the value of a shared working open source code base has been underestimated many times in the past.

I hope this is a project that grows to solve real needs in this space. However, even if it never makes it past this point, there is a chance someone will be inspired by this to construct their own version. Maybe in a different language with a different storage format or a different way of ranking results.

Thank you for sharing your work.

I once sold a house while in a different state, and the real estate agent was positively baffled that I wanted to know how the person who was supposed to collect my banking information and identifying information would identify himself to me.

They really just expected me to meet some guy in a polo shirt at a coffee shop and let him take a snapshot of my passport and all my bank account info.

Frankly scammers have it too easy when the real thing works like this!
How many of us who didn't want children have siblings that had children in our place? The drive for reproduction wins, even without considering that without the drive for reproduction of our parents we wouldn't even exist.

More so, the drive for reproduction isn't necessarily about kids, but sexuality. Sex sells. A big chunk of our civilization is about food and sex.
My first instinct when I see EA is to assume the worst, but they've allowed "Return of Reckoning" (an unlicensed version of their now closed MMO: "Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning") to remain operating for years now so I really have no idea.

Why don't search engines have filters? Every single consumer retail website's search uses filters to help shoppers find something to buy. It is way more convenient than hoping the user can guess the magic search phrase to find the thing they're looking for (if they even know what that thing is).
I could not agree more with this (as a person down that rabbit hole) :-)
I love the shortcut Alexandria takes by indexing Common Crawl instead of crawling the web themselves. It's how I would have bootstrapped a new search engine. In a future iteration they can start crawling themselves, if there is sufficient interest from the public.

Searching is screamingly fast.

The index seems stale, though. Alexandria, how old is your index?

How long did it take you to create your current index? Is that your bottleneck, perhaps, that it takes you a long time (and lots of money?) to create a Common Crawl index?
> except for the rules how to calculate with them

But this is crucially important. The complex numbers is an (algebraically closed) field. Vectors comprise, well, a vector (linear) space. Most useful vector spaces have the dimension greater than 2. (In fact, when the complex numbers are thought of - rarely - as vectors space, it is a 1-dimensional complex vector space.)
That's because real estate pricing is fixed to nearby inventory. Zillow doesn't have to buy many homes in a neighborhood to inflate the prices of all the homes, it just needs to buy 1 or 2.
Speed limits are defined on population density, to get a wavier for a well designed road just isn’t worth the cost.

There are a lot of dumb laws, including speed limits, that need someone other than a lawyer to opine on. Unfortunately it has all become a spectacle.
I'm not even sure if we have to consider retribution why this is a bad idea. There is no control over the blast radius this has. It could hit anything, from a military or criminal system (possibly doing something you could consider good) down to any kind of hospital, humanitarian organization, an org collecting data against putin. In any kind of conventional weapon used by a western state, such a lack of control would be a huge no-go.
First, Revolution is not the same thing as genius.

Second, even genius's don't bring frequent revolutions. Special and general relativity made very little impact on people's lives for decades. It took the Manhattan project, one of the largest industrial project of all times involving tens of thousands of people, to kickstart the nuclear age. And that involved a lot of things besides just relativity.

Third, we live in a world of revolutions that are so common people don't even grasp them. Ten years ago, Go was almost impossible for computers to play with any proficiency. Protein folding was still incredibly difficult and people were building dedicated super computers like Anton to try and make things faster. Now both of those effectively solved problems. Drone's have revolutionized battle fields in ways that are having very significant geopolitcal ramifications that effect hundreds of millions of lives. The raptor engines represent an incredible leap forward in the material sciences that will allow humanity to reach space more cheaply than ever before.

If there are no genius's today because cancer and Alzheimer's are still around, then Einstein wasn't a genius because he didn't solve those problems either.

It is really unfortunate that they have written such a biased article, because it's completely unnecessary. I think the article is correct that fastmail has a much better usability story due to it just being a regular email service. However, Protonmails whole raison d'etre is that they do on server encryption which they can't even decrypt themselves. It gets swept completely under the rug.

They could have just come to the conclusion that if you want ultimate "privacy" and be sure that no one can read your emails "at rest" take Protonmail if you want features take fastmail. That would have been a fair assessment, the way it's written now just makes it come across as a advertisement piece. Maybe they feel customer's moving to Protonmail.

P. S.: I say this as a happy fastmail customer
What's different about "literally" is that people mostly do know what it means, and it's more of a rhetorical device or figure of speech than a simple mistake.

As the article you quoted says, it's "hyperbolic" and "metaphorical", not solecistic.
Internal project code names are sometimes sarcastic, and are never meant for public consumption. It's obviously embarrassing the way it's presented, but it's not like someone was sitting around twirling their mustache plotting something evil.

Here's a more charitable interpretation to consider:

"We have worked hard to make Prime a good deal for customers. But we also know that a lot of customers don't know about the benefits. They just know that if they sign up for Prime they can get free shipping. So they do so and then they cancel. Are we sure that customers know about all the benefits that they get from Prime before they cancel? Maybe if they did, they would not be so hasty. Do they know about Music and Photos and Video? Maybe if they did, they'd keep it around. Let's show them the options during the cancellation flow to make sure they REALLY know what they're giving up. And let's flip around the yes/no buttons to make sure they actually read it - similar to what security confirmation messages do when you're about to do something irreversible."
Looks like it is already with out a numpad (tenkeyless).
> 1) the technology to capture the flare gas and transport it to a generating station (all doable, but the reason the gas is being flared in the first place is because it's not cost effective to do so)

That's why they don't transport it, they do it on premise. The transportation issue is why all other use cases have failed and mining does not because of the low infrastructure demands.

> 2) CCS technology for the generating plant (again, a known tech that because of cost is used only where there is a market for the CO2 byproduct;

I'm not sure exactly what this means, but the miners use their own capital for the infrastructure demands necessary, or partner with the site to invest in this. But usually because the sites don't want to take any risk to their fossil fuel operation and also don't really understand the value of the digital commodity, the miners have to prove the system themselves and make this as frictionless as possible to the site they are proposing to attach to.

Each company and site and state is different so I really think its up to you to prove 1) and 2) are in fact not happening, or not happening to your standard. Or maybe you feel the standard is levied on me. In any case how about we have a discussion about it, I believe its happening OR can be improved upon and I think your sentiment is valid and can be directed at pointing out HOW it can be improved, which unfortunately requires you to move to "lets improve proof of work" instead of "rationalized fantasy for this super bad problem for this ridiculously inefficient use case". So I understand the challenge of having that conversation, I just think you might find it interesting.

> 3) some kind of deep geological or other storage for the CO2, or they'd have to find a new market for the gas that did not result in its eventual release.

There is no storage as it is used on demand. The amount not used is still flared. The mining operation usually aspires to use as much as possible per site.

For my first search of "GFlowNetworks" (which the search bar suggested) It said:
Found 5,887 (or something) results, but showed no results

For my second I searched my name and got a Wikipedia article about a show I've never heard of which didn't have my name anywhere in it.

For my third I searched "GFlowNetworks" again and it said

Last summer in the midst of the pandemic, someone AirBnB'd an empty house a few streets over from us to throw a giant party. I know this because I could hear the music as though I were in a night club from my back yard. There were also cats with out of state plates parked all over the place. Our town is generally fairly lax on laws like noise restrictions, maybe because it's never been an issue and avoids involving the police in squabbles amongst neighbors, so apparently it was legal. Anyway, it was of no benefit to anyone who actually lived in town and a major PITA for everyone living in the surrounding blocks, so I can easily see how residents might choose to outlaw such rentals.
That Wikipedia article is incomplete, Zen 4 will be able to run all AVX-512 code that Ice Lake can run.
Maybe I’m dating myself, but I was taught to start writing by coming up with an outline, which helps you organize your ideas into a coherent sequence. A list article basically makes its outline visible. The outline is also easily turned into an introduction that can address the non-list structure problem at the end of this article.
Here's a more charitable interpretation to consider that's not "Mwahaha let's make it impossible for people to cancel Prime so we can make more money":

"We have worked hard to make Prime a good deal for customers. But we also know that a lot of customers don't know about the benefits. They just know that if they sign up for Prime they can get free shipping. So they do so and then they cancel. Are we sure that customers know about all the benefits that they get from Prime before they cancel? Maybe if they did, they would not be so hasty. Do they know about Music and Photos and Video? Maybe if they did, they'd keep it around. Let's show them the options during the cancellation flow to make sure they REALLY know what they're giving up. And let's flip around the yes/no buttons to make sure they actually read it - similar to what security confirmation messages do when you're about to do something irreversible."

This is the industry that has fought to make it illegal to publish video from within slaughterhouses, and for regulations that require packages be labeled with disclaimers that imply organic and hormone-free meat and dairy are meaningless.
It really bugs me that browsers allow popups to decide whether the top bars get shown. In firefox you can work around this: set `browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction = 0` and force everything to open in tabs. https://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.restr...

It bugs me further that browsers don't let me decide whether the top bars get shown. Sometimes it'd be really nice to toggle off all the browser chrome and just have a true full-window view of a page (Full-window, not full-screen: in particular if I'm opening multiple pages and tiling them vertically, all that browser chrome starts taking up a lot of space really quickly).

Dear browsers: this is hopelessly backwards! Websites should never be allowed control my browserchrome. I should always be in control my browserchrome. Given that this is already configurable per-window, put that switch solidly in my hands!

Atlassian is clearly not product-led today and they are clearly not one of today's fastest growing company

> vendors have had to adapt to this new landscape. Go-to-market strategies have changed with sales-led replaced with product-led. [...] they've adjusted their budgets accordingly.
