So it's okay that the US military is used as the world police?

Neither the war in Afghanistan nor Iraq were justified. Not to mention Saddam was an ally of the US for some time. US even gave Iraq the chemical precursors for their chemical weapons program.

Yes, what's happening in Ukraine is awful, but by this logic, why has the US been supporting the Saudi Arabian regime in its war on Yemen? Why isn't the US providing humanitarian aid to the people of Yemen? There's political motives for nearly every recent conflict the US has gotten involved in. It's not for moral reasons. The "moral reasons" politicians give are sales pitches to gain support.

We've got our own problems at home. The taxpayer money thrown away on contractors and needlessly getting involved in these conflicts could have very well gone towards funding universal healthcare and higher education programs for the public, rather than giving folks the stick and carrot of putting their life on the line for such "benefits".

They're "benefits" because they're walled off in our country, whereas elsewhere they're covered by taxes. Providing them to each citizen from day 0 would only boost productivity/GDP in the long run, if money is the concern. But it's likely there's an awareness of that, and a worry of a healthy and educated population getting ahead, which would disincentivize people from joining the military.

A government that doesn't provide its people with, at the very least, healthcare, and uses healthcare (and education) as a means of drawing in folks to put their lives on the line in its military for selfish and offensive purposes, does not give two shits about its people. Its interests are morally devoid and elsewhere, not with its people nor the people of other nations.
It's a 1997, I've just skim read the chapeter -- and it seems entirely correct. Its views here are consistent with my own, NN is just a name for a technique -- baring little relation to the claims made about it in a hysterical press.
A mac mini is not a usable piece of hardware on its own; it's an unpowered box with no means of input or output. A brick. To make it viable you must connect all the elements that are integrated natively to a laptop: keyboard, mouse, screen, and power. If you showed up to a completely empty desk with just a mac mini, you'd get very little done.

Can you be more specific? Is this something that could be done with non-root privileges and without explicit coordination? Like normal TCP sockets?
And sadly, I own two out of three of those.

It's worth noting that the Realtek is crap, even ignoring the OSX driver situation. I have a few of the 2.5GBe dongles to make my synology speak 2.5gb/s (because a modern NAS is 2020 should have more then gigabit, but doens't because reasons). The driver in Linux is hot mess. I seem to have much more luck then some with it.
We've only had any luck with Elgato Thunderbolt (not just USB-C) hubs with Macs. Everything else has had issues.

Yes, you are right, and my brother did install such things near loos and steps. Trouble is it gets to the point where you can't fix up such things everywhere, and you can't physically support loved one, like doorways. I don't know what an answer could be - an exoskeleton?

Anyway, best wishes to you and your mom.
The current HTML spec says a cite attribute's value has to be a valid URL [0]. I don't know if that's a point at which the WHATWG and W3C versions differed, like on the <cite> element. I do think it came from a semantic web mindset, that the attribute isn't really for the user, it's for programmatic use by the web host, like a CMS, or other systems.

It used to be the case that the values of `content` properties weren't read by screen readers so this technique would mean the information was solely conveyed visually, that blind screen reader users wouldn't get it, but screen readers have been reading `content` properties for a while.

In any case, if the citation is important information to convey, it should probably exist at a text node in the document, not as metadata that gets pulled out and displayed by the styling.

When work from home started, I went down this road of madness, and have a drawer full of docks that didn't work properly for my Macbook (properly is defined as works as a USB hub, connection to wired network, charges my Macbook, and lets me connect an external 4k display @ 60Hz). A Plugable Thunderbolt 3 Dock has carried me for 2 years so far.
A challenge I have with this framing is it suggests a binary when none is necessary.

The premise is New Yorkers are Kind but not Nice, and that's good. Well, in the context of helping a woman with a stroller vs not, obviously helping is better, even if you don't say thanks or say anything nice at the same time. But also, why not both? It's not like you can't help with the stroller, AND shout a friendly "Have a nice day" as you leave. It costs nothing extra. It's okay that New Yorkers are NOT like that - it's totally fine. The job got done. But it's not binary.

So the implication is that the alternative is to say "Wow it looks like you are really struggling with that stroller, that must be so tough", and to offer no help in response. But, I don't think this person exists. Maybe it's true that people on the West coast won't help with the stroller, but they're NOT going to stop and empathize and do something nice while they do it. The people not helping on the subway on the West coast are NEITHER Nice nor Kind, maybe because of geography, maybe because the individualism of car-orientated culture makes people forget they live in a community the way people in New York are incapable of forgetting.

I propose that that "Nice but not Kind" caricature is actually incredibly rare to the point of non-existence. It tends to be used by the right to describe the entire left - as virtue signaling, caring-about-optics, overly politically-correct, social justice warriors. But the people who are using these characterizations are not themselves fighting for meaningful change. They're using this exclusively to criticize caring or small incremental progress forward.

Yes, legal protection for trans people is more important than using correct pronouns. But who out there is preaching proper pronoun usage WITHOUT supporting legislation for protection of trans people? Tell me which politicians support these protections, and I'll vote for them, but day-to-day I cant change the law. I CAN change what pronouns I use with my friends and strangers. So do I spend most of my time being "nice but not kind" because I only vote one day out of 365 for politicians that do Kind acts?

Even the "liberal vs leftist" comparison is a bit strange because it's entirely US-centric and is part of the way that Americans fool themselves that the Democratic party is in any way progressive. They are centrist by any political spectrum definition, and as such share some of the same "conservative" attitudes to certain types of social progress as their Republican counterparts.

So yes, Be kind. If you can only be one, Be kind. But 99% of situations it costs nothing extra to Kind AND Nice. And The situations where one can ONLY be Nice but not Kind are few and far between, and tend to be exaggerated.
I think the distinction between niceness and kindness is very accurate, but applied to liberals vs leftists I think is a stretch.

Cutting in line, is one example that comes to mind. Certainly a mean thing to do, and a dick move, but not really harmful in the grand scheme of things.

> Los Angeles [...] people cancelled plans on me all the time

Traffic. It's because of traffic and sprawl.

LA is massive[1]. If you lived in Manhattan and made plans with people living in Queens or Brooklyn or East Rutherford, you would expect them to flake just as much as people living in LA. If I only make plans with people in Santa Monica and I live in Santa Monica, they will probably show up.

The reality is that in LA you do not have subways that go everywhere. You also do not walk. So you interact with people that mostly got to that location via freeway and probably live at least 30 minutes away. Plans sound nice and people like to be agreeable, so they will say "sure, I might make it." And usually you do not get a strong yes. It's always a maybe. Because when the event rolls around, you're stuck deciding whether you feel like getting into the car and driving a good hour in heavy traffic or not. It's not because people are dicks, like everyone is claiming. It's because the city wears on you. Distance is measured in time, not miles in LA.

Also, parking. If you live in WeHo, KTown, DTLA, or Santa Monica and you're asking people to find parking, be prepared for lots of canceled plans. No one likes circling the streets for 20 minutes to find parking.

> It honestly feels like no matter what you buy, you get more or less the same hardware, and you’re most likely getting a heavily overpriced product just because some company printed their logo on it.

Isn't this like a known thing? Almost all peripherals on Amazon will have dozens of the exact same form-factor with different logos on it. You just buy the one that is the perfect intersection of costs, positive reviews, and shipping time. The assumption is that they all come from the same factory in China anyways.
Disagree strongly.

I'm naturally averse to "huge companies" but Amazon does customer support fantastically well.

If Amazon can do it, and do it very well, so can Google.

They just choose not to. And so I choose not to use them.

Maybe I'm not their target audience.
This may sound a bit pedantic here, but this statement:

" I’m writing this on an Apple MacBook Pro, and all I got was four lousy USB-C ports"

Is wildly inaccurate, as the author demonstrates in his conclusions where he explains that he's settled on a Thunderbolt hub.

Yes, they're more expensive, and yes, they're harder to find, but the fact is, for this type of use USB-C is kinda junky, and Thunderbolt is a much better option.
I think even in those situations, telling them that you never felt like you fit is still the right approach. I there is actual wrongdoing, report them. But if it's a boy's club, it's probably better to phrase it as such than point to each individual actor as sexist.
Super rude and unwarranted.
You get what you pay for! Look at the HP USB & thunderbolt dock. They are pretty stable.

In my experience (my team has deployed about 50k in 3 years), the thunderbolt ones are more reliable, even if the laptop doesn’t have thunderbolt.

I have their TB4 dock. It works well with a Intel mac. Not so well with a M1 mac.

Might be a issue on the other end of the thunderbolt connector.
Question is whether those devices would be better off using brushless DC or some other DC motor? Tesla uses a switched reluctance motor (basically stepper motor) instead of induction motor on their low end vehicles for example.
I think this is a problem in a lot of areas where you invent new concepts for which we don’t have words yet. Happens a lot in tech and also in science. If you use a metaphor that people can relate to there is a high chance they will latch on to the metaphor and push it into areas where it doesn’t work anymore. I saw that a lot when “cloud computing” came up. I once described one of our systems as “basically a flash drive” which made sense in the context of the FDA regulation we were discussing but a few months later a director was outraged “but you said it’s a flash drive” in a totally different context where the metaphor didn’t make sense.

Also saw it around COVID vaccines. I talked to several people who claimed calling it “vaccine” is fraudulent because in their minds a vaccine protects you 100% from the disease and if it only avoids hospitalization or severe cases it’s not a vaccine.
No! Apple's integrated design has huge advantages. Then performance ceiling of RAM built on-chip, for instance, is much higher (because light can only go so fast) than even soldered-on discrete RAM chips, which in turn are potentially higher performance than DIMMs. One of the reasons why the M1 is so blistering fast is this integrated RAM design; it's like having 8-64 GiB of L3 cache.

The same goes for SSDs; by building the SSD controller into the CPU, you can get I/O performance that vastly outperforms even PCI NVMe drives.

Over the next few years, it will be the case that the most powerful computer you can buy will be a Mac. The M1 series Macs signal a return to the Amiga days, when thoughtful engineers designed the whole system with integrated hardware and software for speed and responsiveness that cannot be matched or surpassed by the cobbled together PC ecosystem that has dominated for so long.
How much of the ethernet problems are due to these hubs and how much is due to ethernet autoneg just sucking? On my mac mini with whatever ethernet hardware they use, the link randomly negotiates 10, 100, full duplex, half duplex, flow control on or sometimes off. It's all coin tosses.
Seems like a lot of work and hassle... I would have looked for a router that supported printer sharing via USB like this: https://www.tp-link.com/ca/support/faq/745/
The Dell DA310 is the best all in one USB hub that I have ever purchased. Works fantastic on Apple devices. Been using a number of them for a decent amount of time.

Sure, it also uses an RTL8153, and might need the Realtek drivers to work (out of luck if you are on macOS 11+) but it was the first USB hub that I used forever, where everything just worked.

I don't use it for PD, I don't trust that on any hub.
Electricity providers can choose their prices but EDF, which is the only state owned provider, must have at least one offering with prices fixed by the law.

Usually, this offering is overpriced but nowadays, it’s the cheapest way to get electricity.

So EDF, as a company, is currently, technically, taking the loss. But the French state is the main shareholder of EDF and can inject capital with public money into EDF if needed.

Other electricity providers are just loosing customers. But in France, electricity providers are not electricity producers, they are just intermediates between the consumer and the producer, so they can die and I don’t care. At least, EDF is state owned, main producer, main provider and the means of production (nuclear plants) have all been paid by public money.
> in the US that for a significant amount of the population

Any reason to think this is a distinctly US phenomena as opposed to a more widespread phenomena?
Yup, transistors especially have given us major breakthroughs in the ability to step up/step down DC.

Also, there have been huge breakthroughs in High-Voltage DC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

At certain huge (grid) scales they have found that AC and DC swap "efficiencies" again and we're increasingly starting to see current flows as DC-AC-DC "sandwiches" with DC used by the majority of consumer electronics and DC used for extremely high scale grid transport, and AC still useful in the mid-range transport.

I'm confused.

Let's assume that Ivermectin is completely useless, not only against Covid-19 but other things that make Covid-19 more dangerous.

How do you get from there to an official campaign against it? Someone who takes Ivermectin on their nickel doesn't stop anyone from producing or distributing something that does work.
NNs with dropout are, trivially, an ensembling. And I think it's not so hard to show NNs, by default, meet a criterion like it -- namely that if we have something like batch normalization between the layers, so they are something PMF-like, then each is taking an expectation.

either way, the technique has absolutely nothing to do with the biological cells we call neurones -- as much as decision tress have to do with forests.

It is metaphorical mumbojumbo taken up by a credulous press and repeated in research grant proposals by the present generation of young jobbing PhDs soon to be out of a job.

>would it cost 100x to produce or just 10x or just 2x?

Why would 100x something only cost 2x to produce?

>what % of the costs is "physical cost per unit" and what % is maintaining the I+D, factories, channels...?

Without unit volume and a definition of the first "cost" in the sentence no one could answer that question. But if you want to know the BOM cost of a chip, it is simply Wafer Price divided total useable chips depending on yield where yield is both a factor of current maturity of node and whether your design allows correction of defects for usable chips. Then add about ~10% for testing and packaging.
Adding my own to the list -

+ Belkin's thunderbolt dock - Ethernet is a mess and takes down my network switch when my macbook goes to sleep. This seems like a common issue. The fix is to "unplug ethernet when putting laptop to sleep".

+ Anker's bigger usb c dock - actually this one works for me, though I am using it with an XPS 15.

+ The spouse has a CalDigit 3. She says it has no issues.

I actually agree. Normally I'm against proprietary ports, but vendors that have done this in the past have traditionally killed a lot of birds with one stone. Both Dell and Lenovo's docking solutions are fantastic, and don't require expensive hardware to manufacture docks. As a result, you can get the full IO of your computer extended to a dock with 10+ ports for less than $30. Pretty great solution IMO.
I like the tear-down approach, I wish it was more common for these devices to say what chips they used.
if you go for cheap, you might get someone selling stuff with manufacturing defects
Couldn't we just aim something in the right direction, give it a little thrust, and then forget about it? There's no rush after it has left earth.
I ran into a problem with one of these docks where the network adapter would randomly start flooding the network if it was left plugged in after the computer was disconnected. It didn't happen every time, maybe once every few months. The guy who had this thing would take off for the day a little before 5 and then total chaos by the time he was pulling away in his car.
I don’t know much about rollup, it doesn’t seem to be that different, but some of the newer tools are rust and go based and better tuned for performance during development. JS tooling is generally slow and weirdly complex, and people seem to acknowledge these issues and improve on them.

Ta not just businesses. Voters aren’t the least bit thrilled with saving the environment even in the so called greenest state CA 40% of emissions come from transportation and 5 lane highways are clogged to the brim with cars on 50 mile commutes with no housing built next to work despite miles and miles of open space and the governor wants to hand out 400$ gas cards to incentivize even more CO2 creation while people regularly take 200 mile trips to Lake Tahoe every month like it’s nothing. And these are people who consider themselves very environmental. You can’t make this stuff up

One environmentalist gave quite the vigorous impassioned speech on reducing CO2 gases. After 30min the reporter asked “so you must be quite in favor of carbon taxes, right”. To which she replied “oh no, that wouldn’t be equitable “. My jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

This isn’t about growth but rather about social etiquette. In this case, although your friend is the reason you attend, it is the host who has officially invited you to the party. Now, the invite and acceptance are between you and the host directly and social etiquette requires a clear communication in case of a cancellation.

From the host’s perspective, you are still attending until you cancel. Of course people do the social calculus all the time and can choose to bail without notice. It’s been done for centuries, but is considered poor form in most circumstances except emergencies. In almost all cases a “sorry, I am unable to make it tonight,” is usually sufficient.

Of course if the host never officially invited you in the first place and you were simply tagging along, there is no social obligation and you are free to do as you please.
