Not commenting on the particular issue that the GP used to illustrate their point about free speech but because Elon has definitely raised concerns about censorship on twitter before their comment is relevant. A sizeable stake in the company should presumably give him some influence in determining twitter's policies.

(Also, I think your comment breaks several of the 'In comments' guidelines)
He is specifically buying it because he wants it to respect free speech and it currently doesn't. He tweeted about this before buying.

Random q: why fetch depth 20?
I see. OP replies saying their history somehow expired, and the page wasn't bookmarked to begin with. So I stand corrected. Thank you
Last I checked, accelerated crypto instructions were unprivileged. Going by the article, this is just jamming the entire TLS hokey-pokey into kernelspace to avoid a copy.

TLS session management is rather hairy. Judging by their Linux numbers, I'd take the performance hit over pushing something that complicated into the kernel.
We had to parse dozeon of 20GB files daily with super complex structure and not in linear structure.
With Cython (finally we migrated to Pypy) we gained around 20-60x speedup.
So you believe cryptocurrencies are offable?
And as demonstrated, a lot in the logs to guide your search, nothing shown is behind the scenes.

Personally I disable snap but I know what it does and why it is useful.
Suggestion: just start using something like this today (maybe in parallel with Google). In a few years, your Google location history will be less relevant, so importing it elsewhere will also feel less relevant.

When you want to migrate data, the trick is to first turn time on your side. As long as you keep using Google, you have time against you -- the longer you hold off on switching over, the longer you'll feel like you need to move the data over.

There's often something small one can do that changes the situation so that the passage of time doesn't make it worse anymore, but better. In this case, just starting to use something like this is it. Even if you continue to use Google at the same time.
> That include the mountainous region of Nepal and Tibet.

I don't believe the Mongols ever dominated Tibet. They may have made inroads into grassy northern regions such as Kham. In fact I believe that Genghis as Emperor of China paid tribute to Tibetan rulers.

I'd like to see a source for Mongols crossing the Himalaya and impacting Nepal.

I have no idea what you want to say here. Which question is better explored?

We have here the viewpoint presented by article "renewables are and will stay limited", and another viewpoint "but renewables are exponential!" I believe the former is based on facts. Are there other facts I am not aware of? Exponential growth extrapolations are not facts.

No, the reason TWTR is up so significantly is because hedge funds are betting that Elon will try to take twitter private.

If he does, there will be a significant share premium paid to current holders from the acquirer.
"Should any particular resource begin to run short, our creativity will bring into being the knowledge of how to replace that resource from either some other source or by using some other means to accomplish what that resource did."

> Most of the wealth of billionaires is not cash, it’s locked up in their ownership of the companies they control. Elon Musk for example has 99% of his wealth in shares in Tesla, SpaceX etc.

Yes. But its possible to allocate a value to these assets.

The point I'm making is that it if we are trying to find a solution to these problems, the easiest one would be to take the billions in wealth - more wealth that can be spent in hundreds of lifetimes - away from the people who hold it and redistribute it to those who don't. This doesn't seem to be under consideration, but this is because it doesn't suit those that run corporations and governments - the elite aren't planning to shoot themselves in the foot.

As I said elsewhere, I don't think this is actually a valid solution. I only mention this as an equally invalid solution - putting the cost onto the population in general, ie the comparatively poor - is actively being implemented. Despite the obvious unfairness and greater complexity - the implementation of a technocratic system that allocates energy and resources.

So the new system is also insane and will be harder 99.9999% of the world's population, but does allow the billionaires to keep their comfort.

Which of these 2 insane options is better in your opinion?

Compared to themselves in a parallel universe where no degrees were awarded, yes. A 4.0 GPA from Harvard isn't making the kid with Down syndrome any more hireable than they already were. If the cure for Down syndrome, or any other condition that impacts one's potential, was as simple as handing them a degree from Harvard on a silver platter, we'd be helping a lot more people than we do.

Where did you come up with this idea that a degree is a medical cure?
That is really only true if you want to squeeze every drop of performance out of Cython. For the first 80% of performance gains you don't have to go that deep.

That is another thing that is nice about Cython, you don't have to learn all of Cython to be productive. Take your existing python function and just add some type annotations and you'll see real performance gains. Then you can profile your code and see what the next bottle neck is and fix that and so on.

So, yes, Cython gives you the power to manually control the GIL and the Python API calls and manage your own memory management and layout for those corner cases where that is what you need. Most of the time you can happily ignore all of that and get almost all of the speedup available.
What the fuck is going on here
If you still have doubts after two years of pathology report after report of lymphocyte infiltration in the brain - you too, may also have lymphocyte infiltration in your own brain.

"43 patients were included in our study. Patients died in hospitals, nursing homes, or at home, and were aged between 51 years and 94 years (median 76 years [IQR 70-86]). We detected fresh territorial ischaemic lesions in six (14%) patients. 37 (86%) patients had astrogliosis in all assessed regions. Activation of microglia and infiltration by cytotoxic T lymphocytes was most pronounced in the brainstem and cerebellum, and meningeal cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration was seen in 34 (79%) patients. SARS-CoV-2 could be detected in the brains of 21 (53%) of 40 examined patients, with SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins found in cranial nerves originating from the lower brainstem and in isolated cells of the brainstem."

It's astounding how seemingly most people just jump to "oh its in your head, just some anxiety". A fairly nasty virus, that causes severe disease that literally kills people even. Penetrates into the brain, cranial nerves, spinal fluid. Causes peripheral neuropathies, palsies, paralysis.

Google "US health expenditure vs life expectancy" and "adverse selection in healthcare", read the top few links and get back to me.

You're making several basic mistakes thinking about freedom, because once again you're not even familiar with basic knowledge of the topic. In particular:

- Confusing the quality and quantity of choices. Free healthcare increases freedom because it increases overall quality of choices people can make - if you'd even encountered the concept of the capability approach to human welfare (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_approach) you wouldn't have made this basic mistake.

- You're conflating capitalism with freedom, when in fact capitalism is built on top of property law, a very anti-freedom system. Property is the biggest government program their is, and is enforced with violent anti-freedom, liberty-destroying government force.

In other words, you're so ideological you're not even wrong (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong).

Yeah it's definitely a valid concern, though the considerations for different solutions are a bit too elaborate for me to type out on mobile atm. Some ideas

- regularly testing backups also ensures you still have the key material

- Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme, in combination with putting it on paper or multiple devices or...

- bank/company vault

- hardware security token

- give the master keys to the company's master (some tech director) and make it someone else's problem, if you want to be evil :)
Stock Android keyboard. Doesn't work if I dismiss either, as sibling comment states.
I definitely phrased my original comment wrong. Cloud providers do charge for basically everything. However, the charges are much smaller that fees on most blockchains. ETH gas fees are a good example of what I mean, although they are absurdly high compared to other blockchains.
Pay-walling software features —like this— means you also have to stop the user from modifying or maintaining the software running on the thing I own. Slightly reductive but if I can't do what I like with something I buy, is it really mine? If it's not, why am I expected to pay full price?

Hopefully consumer rights will catch up, and make nonsense features like this go away. But I expect manufacturers to resist this as much as they can, probably tying it into certified safety systems and playing a "think of the children" argument.

Unless they are operating a dynamic block system like the channel tunnel lines and other high speed lines across Europe. Anything that runs over 125mph (or has to mix with traffic which does) isn't using block signalling.

Neither is necessarily "better", but rather they are different design choices. HTML at first wasn't intended to have very much styling at all, and originally there was some more styling mixed into the HTML itself (like <font>, bgcolor, etc.). Since now we pretty much want to make our webpages look like anything, it seemed to make sense to those drafting the standards to separate the two concerns, since HTML is mostly about page flow structure and data display, and page sources would be even harder to read than they already are if everyone was just putting their styles within HTML tags. If you're looking for a data attribute, it can be hard on the eyes to be constantly sifting through attributes for styling.

You certainly can do things to overload attributes and do what you're suggesting (in a sort of hackish way), and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong in doing so if that's your preference. Many people just don't like that.

One of the great things about separating styles out of HTML is that they can be contained in files and included separately. With poor connectivity, ideally, it's beneficial to keep the main page source to be as slim as possible so that it can still be downloaded and read even if the styling hasn't yet finished downloading. That's not nearly as relevant anymore, but it would not be surprising if keeping pages lean was a motivator in moving away from putting more stuff in HTML.

> The science of basic human biology is now a “regressive opinion.” Stunning.

Your lack of medical knowledge is just as stunning.

Not only does intersex exist (yes, humans can indeed have both primary sexual organs, though it's rare), there's also a plethora of conditions that blur the line, from De la Chapelle-Syndrom to Swyer-Syndrom. There's chromosomal-, gonadal-, hormonal-, and anatomical variations that are part of "basic human biology" yet result in individuals that cannot easily be classified by vagina=woman and penis=man.

Shocking, I know.

>I just ordered Kia EV6, friends were laughing: “we get new battery technology in couple years and you car will be soon outdated”.

This isn't really the right take. Production at scale isn't happening. Cars won't be the first applications because of huge safety concerns. Much easier to stop a battery fire when it's a cellphone.

>I must wait for my car almost a year. Volkswagen group delivers car in almost 2 years when I order today. Even if the new batteries will come out, my Kia EV6 will be absolutely fine for my weekly 300 miles.

Oh ya, it is a matter of time for new battery tech. I believe Tesla will be using a new battery tech in the cyber truck. Then again, where's that at? It's going to be at a premium for sure.

Your EV6, ID4, or even BZX4 type vehicles will be the current battery tech for many years. You're going to love your EV6.

Neither google search nor duckduckgo can offer a definition of "offable". Perhaps you can enlighten me and I can attempt to answer your question.
Not true. It's not if the screens get updated. They do not get updated based on the actual train on the track but from information info you can infer from an pre-established schedule.

Let me tell more about what prompted the conversation with the platform manager.
I was staying at a hotel in Amsterdam while doing an IT project in the north of the country. One of the days took the wrong train. At that time, I just attributed it to not really carefully reading the platform indicator. The next day had to take the same train, at the same time, carefully checked the platform monitor, but as I had been burned the previous day....Decided to also ask the train ticket controller at the train door. He laughed and pointed me to another different indicator some trains have, and that happened to show a different destination for that specific train.

The cognitive dissonance that I experienced was so strong, I decided right there to also be late that day, look for the train station manager, for a polite but frustrated conversation on my part, and it was then he clarified this.

Also any Internet search will show others with similar experiences.

Edit: Looking at this example from 6 months ago...Continues to happen:-)

I don’t think he cares about revenue. I think he is trying to build a majority share and then take the company private. It is the very fact that twitter is a public company to begin with, that is pushing it to extremes. Social media companies should be banned from the stock market.

You probably mean "maximum batch size", because pagination is handled by the lastEventId and the fact that a stream is always consumed in order.
Those "opinions" are heavily inflated by bots and other fake accounts. I've observed this behaviour around 2012 on Youtube comments, where the usual tinfoil nutjobs kept running several accounts at once and artificially upvoted their fantasies and downvoted any criticism. It happened on multiple videos on very specific topics from respectable sources. Usually moon landing, 9/11 and so on. It's pretty much the same now on Twitter. It's just the scale that's different, and apparently also the professionalism behind it.
