> Right now, as part of the 5G push is the idea of wireless home internet, which is basically just a wifi AP that connects to the internet via the wireless network, [...] in hopes of luring customers away from the cable cos and telcos or other wired providers.

I'm not saying they're not trying to create new demand, but this particular argument may be dependent on local context.

Over here in France, there's also a strong campaign for 5G. But in the consumer market, wired internet providers are the same companies that provide cell phone service. This may help in low-density areas, although there's also a big push from government to deploy fiber even in rural areas.
Please send me an email with the details (it's on the website).
I'm fond of that capability as well. Still it was good to restrict things for security and support reasons. Preserving the integrity of the line of death is hard enough without arbitrary UI changes and interactions among X different add-ons.
Potentially a white hole
That’s a really good point. The first LTE cellphones I had were much faster to connect than 3G when loading webpages, but they weren’t as fast as they got a few years later, as LTE-Advanced started deploying, etc. Although part of the speed difference was probably also due to faster storage and more new LTE bands.

I’d also point out that Canada had one of the fastest LTE networks and still does. Presumably part of the difference is having only a couple dense metro areas to cover. A monopoly on high prices with few independent MVNOs also doesn’t hurt.
Measurement/A mathematicians lament by Paul Lockhart.
The first is not by any means very advanced/interesting mathematics per se,
but it is written by somebody with an incredible passion for mathematics, which you
can feel throughout the whole book, and which was totally novel for me coming from
schoolish mathematics drudgery. Also, the way he approaches mathematics and teaching is quite interesting.
Nothing for somebody who is already into mathematics, but as an entry point it is absolutely great.
The second is a critique of school math, freely available online (https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/pdf/devlin/Lockharts...), that absolutely hits home on a lot of problems of math and school in general, but in a way that basically says
"Look, its so cool, why are we ruining it? Lets do this better." which is much better than another bitter, destructive critique. And its well written and only twenty pages. Definitely recommend.
What do you think of a p2p marketplace for search queries? You post your query to the p2p network that consists of indexers. Indexers interested in servicing your query would place a bid (i.e. the charge), from which you select one. The selected indexer would then service your query.

I think this would allow a competitive market for indexers in different verticals to emerge.

Most probably you wouldn't want to use it for every small query. But in situations when you need high quality results in some domain, the p2p marketplace would be a good choice.

Um I use our boat as an office, bicycle down to it most days. Ain't spacious or luxurious, but it's waterfront. I live in an ordinary house with decent (~300M) wired connection.
I do mostly agree with you, because I (again, mostly) live in the present and in reality, but there are some reasonable counterarguments, I think:

- You can see that they're sharing your texts, and for some people, that would actually be great (exhibitionism, and/or narcissism to some degree). There's also a potential sex-positivity angle whereby you could receive feedback and suggestions for improvements.

- That's fair; although it also helps increase the corpus of joke material. And hopefully a friendly neighbour (and/or HOA) would ask to clarify or let you know that there was some potential for confusion before taking any action in return.

- It's possible that society could benefit from compensation levels being made public? (in some countries, it already effectively is)

Nothing as dangerous to your developing product line as that "one-trick-pony" keeping the company afloat, who wants to get in.

Is such thing even needed? Teens have played it all traditionally. Even the mature games they likely should not have. From deep strategy games to casual match-3. I really see no reason why there even should be something special for them. Good thought provoking stories work for them as well. Maybe go light on the worst things, but in general I see no reason why there should be something else.

And on one side they also have the time and sometimes mechanical skills far beyond older demographics.
>although rollback netcode is producing remarkably good results these days.

Tell me you are not an online gamer without telling me you are not an online gamer. Rollback netcode makes about sub 100ms ping playable. Having a low ping is still better than having a high ping. LAN is still the definitive experience since latency is minimized. There are online competitions that are west coast or east coast only because the experience just is not good enough even with rollback netcode to handle latencies that are so high.

When I tried tethering to my phone on 4G I was getting like 150ms ping and it was really spiky. You are not going to have a good time with that much latency.

Also in the gaming context related to low latency is cloud gaming which also includes VR / AR rendering which needs to have an accurate location of where your head is to render the frame correctly.
I can trump that! Maybe 1990(ish) - I worked as a cycle courier in London and one of my regular clients was Crossrail where I carried plans from one office to another.
Too easy. That’s just what they’d expect.
I'm sure it's different for large megacorps, but if you have less than 100 devs then the single point of failure in your SSO scheme is a far bigger security and operational risk than having long-lived keys on some dev's laptop.

What is "the rest of your authentication" in this context? Corporate email? As far as I know, SSH is the only real authentication possible here.
> Researchers soon constructed what was called core memory from dense grids of magnetic cores. And these technologists soon switched from using wound-metal cores to cores made from ferrite, a ceramic material containing iron oxide. By the mid-1960s, ferrite cores were stamped out by the billions as manufacturing costs dropped to a fraction of a cent per core.
Yeah, this is spot on.
It also helps "block" that time slot so that other people can invite you to meetings or other activities taking this into account.
Accounting...

The rule of accouting is that if anything excites you about accounting you shouldn't do accounting. The most fun I had studying accounting was learning about tax evasion, money laundering, defrauding stakeholders etc. Any academic book about forensic accounting could be deemed interesting if you just read only the case studies.
Wunderlist is still alive as Microsoft todo though isn't it?
If I'm not wrong opentable does this in some cases, so it should be possible. Another service that I think does it is mindbodyonline.

I'm not sure the "you can cancel a cc payment" still holds, at least in my experience in the US. If I want I can certainly cancel a payment, but my cc would be blocked and a new one issued, which is a real pita for a small overcharge.

I guess as a user, I'd prefer to leave a downpayment if it's a service I use semi-regularly. For example I'm ok with a restaurant because I use opentable often, or I'd be ok if my yoga studio or alike charges me once for not showing up, because I go there weekly. For a service that I was supposed to use once, I didn't show up, and I have no plans to use again, I'd certainly try to put more effort to get my money back.

So, to your idea, I'd start exploring providers that establish a recurring rapport with their clients.
That probably explains why when I try to use subuser commands (python3.10 installed on the system) it complains "AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'Mapping'"

If I understand it correctly then, the divergent compressibility is a consequence of Bose-Einstein condensation?

It definitely is exciting to see light show this effect. I wonder how much the difference between light and matter (due to very different dispersion relations) has an influence on the BEC properties like compressibility. I guess that's what they are trying to find out.
I have found time to be the biggest factor. I use to have hours every day to tinker with Linux, I enjoy the tinkering personally and I can endure the lack of features. But at some point I began spending more than 8h on average on my work and really needed a break each day to not get burned out and take care of *health,on top of which I have a backlog of things to study up on for $work, any platform (including windows) that gets out of my way is welcome.

Not FOSS in general, but specifically the Linux desktop ecosystem is very chaotic. There is this rush to get a close-enough adoptation of features from other desktops which in itself adds chaos. I did learn a lot from dealing with the chaos but even when I had free time, practical things like editing government forms or sending a resume in a specific format (converting botches the formatting) made me almost pull my hair out.

Unpopular opinion: Linux desktops needs to be proprietary software friendly. As in accept blob installers that can install desktop applications that work well on any major DE and without consideration for package managers. Paid apps should also be a thing on Linux.
I understand your point. The article is about Java dev from a Java dev's perspective so your assertion "if I know Docker" is often not true for this class.

Yes, SCOTUS only did away with state sponsored prayer. However, the implementation of that decision tends to go farther. For example, prayer must be done privately, so most overt prayer is banned. Some schools have/tried banning religious items that would be overt, such as rosaries. So it goes farther than simply banning state sponsored prayer and becomes a 1st Ammendment issue if students are being told they can pray, but must not speak it.

For the gun topic. Some schools removed firearm education from the curriculum and even as an elective. So it's not an outright ban but a defacto one. Even when there is agreement that safety should be taught, there is a lot of debate about using a program designed by gun control groups or gun rights groups. What we also have seen are students getting in trouble for off-campus, non-threatening, lawful use of firearms. These discaplinary events are very egregious, and the schools has no basis for their actions in these cases. The only assumption that can be made is that the people making those decisions politically oppose that to the point that they are ignorant of the laws and overreact.

The issue of gun images is not a second amendment issue, but a first. School dress codes are only allowed to ban general things that would interfere with education. However, guns are usually explicitly called out. Not to mention the display of gun imagery in a manner that doesn't condone violence would not interfere with education.

Unless it's for experimenting, I've stopped caring for backup solutions other than borg and zfs as the only way to prove their stability is to have them exist for a while without big complaints and new ones all seem to have complaints.

Just having no data loss isn't enough which is the absolute base point but huge memory consumption and other operational issues are also showstoppers.
One thing I never understood is why it is called "5G" (and not just LTE++)? All the previous "Generations" were pretty big technological leaps in the physical layer, each G was a completely different beast using a completely different physical layer, but from what I gather, "5G" is just LTE with some added frequency bands, bigger QAM, more MIMO, etc (just like LTE to LTE+ added, nothing generational). So, just "before we used to divide this thing into 64 parts and now we divide into 256 so we have 4x the bandwith", nothing that couldn't be done into LTE++ (or LTE+2, or whatever). The only breaking change seem to be the change in the orthogonality of the up-link channel modulation (down-link remains unchanged).

So, can anyone explain to me what is the generational difference between LTE and 5G (not simply more frequencies and tighter parameters)?
I can get a 2021 65 inch Samsung qled tv for $1k and it has 100% dci-p3 coverage compared to 90% of the monitor, has HDR and 120Hz refresh rate, has usable speakers, has a good remote to control it and is larger and cheaper. I don’t know the numbers, but I bet the contrast would also be better on the TV.

As far as I can understand superconductivity, the devices are similar but opposite. Superconductors have a both a critical current (in the absence of a field), and a critical magnetic field (in the absence of a current). So, cranking the control line raises the field, which squelches current capacity to zero (and/or since there's an excess of either/both, superconductivity is lost).

To some extent that's already implemented in the form of the various tabs - if you want very recent results, go to the News tab or click the Tools button and select a time range. If you want academic results with citations, go to Google Scholar. If you want information from books, go to the Books tab. If you don't know/care, the main tab will mix results from all tabs.

You can add three more buttons on top of the tabs that are already there, but would their value for more advanced users be worth the extra friction/confusion for average users? And how would it scale if someone wants a fourth, fifth, or tenth "lens"?

If the confusion stems from me writing 'Wip3out' I'm sorry about that, just a habit of mine.

I was referring to the source leak related title, the original WipEout (1) of course (see cover art links).
Huh, I didn’t realize they ended that.

While I agree with your greater point that a system that gets out of your way is nice, I always find myself swearing when using Windows and trying to bend macOS to do things the way I want. In the end I just gave up and went back to Linux on a "basic" PC (no Nvidia or multiple GPUs on my laptop).
