You have a good point that the app should track the difference between I/O submission times and I/O completion times. Can't speak for MySQL, but Oracle nowadays has two "wait events" for the DB Writer flow (that syncs dirty buffers from its buffer cache to disk):

1. db file async I/O submit

2. db file parallel write

(the 2nd one has such a name for historical reasons, but it's the I/O reaping/completion check timing, not the submission).

> The bicameral theory of mind has been thoroughly discredited.

Sure it claims way too much, but I don’t think every nearby direction is discredited. That would mean everyone in history had the exact same theory of unitary consciousness we do (that we have free will, our actions come after conscious thought, there’s a conscious/subconscious/unconscious or id/ego/superego, dreams come from our own memories, etc.)

There’s a lot of Buddhists out there to this day, and they do officially belong to a religion with a you-don’t-exist policy. How this is integrated with resurrection depends on the lineage of course.

Myself I just want to know if the Babylonians were taught math by a fish alien named Oannes. Maybe he can tell us if P=NP.
The article is a summary of 'The Grand Biocentric Design: How Life Creates Reality' by Robert Lanza.

From a Amazon review:

Physician Lanza is the new Deepak Chopra. I diagnosis he suffers from physics envy. And math insufficiency. The book is a tossed salad of 'mind', 'consciousness,' 'wavefunction collapse', 'decoherence', and every complex or unsolved issue in science. His argument is mindbogglingly anthropocentric. For humans who like to feel important, and eternal, 'biocentrism' is made for you.

well that's exactly the trap isn't it? The others have clearly been contextualised and explained many many times, but that's never enough and there's always 'but what about this one..'

> > Whisky is distilled to around 70% alcohol by volume (vol-%) then diluted to bout 40 vol-%

> Might be true for the vast majority of whisky, but once you start to hit enthusiast territory, there's whisky from 40% to above 60% ABV.

I'd say the statement is mostly true depending on how you read "diluted".

Whiskey is distilled and casked at a high % abv (e.g. 60-70) and then diluted before drinking to something less than that, e.g. 45%, 40% or lower. That dilution might take place before bottling, after bottling, or a combination of both. But (hopefully) very few people make the mistake of drinking 70% alcohol without diluting it first. That the dilution was left to the consumer rather than happens in the factory is just a detail. It doesn't really change how whisky is distilled (70%) and later consumed (~40% or something higher but still hopefully not 70...).

Russia's been a pain in the arse continuously. 20 years ago they were up to their eyeballs in the Iranian nuclear programme, carpet bombing Chechnya, blowing up their own apartment blocks and blaming it on terrorists, destabilising Georgia and goodness knows what else. That's all just from memory. But they have a lot of oil and gas so we let it all slide. More fool us.
I like it around 40% just like the factory diluted one. Some times even more diluted than that, depending on what it is.

Maybe it is time for the world community to put the IMF and the World Bank under the direction of the United Nations instead of the United States (and friends)? Why would the IMF or the World Bank have to sanction Russia¹

Interesting quote:

> Europe had been pulled apart by the first world war. A decade of easy monetary policy up to 1929 had been unable to paper over major political and economic changes that had created huge rifts in societies. Labour markets and family structures were changing.

I see a comparison to our time. Maybe a reaffirmation of the gold standard, or some other "hard currency", will help us crawl out of the current economic pit?

¹ I am not saying they should or should not. Just asking, "is it up to a country/or a bunch of befriended countries to force the IMF to do one thing or the other. Shouldn't all decisions come from the UN or the security council?
No, on the contrary. In my experience, the professional artists and craftsmen that I know are rather choosy about their tools.

If not, is there an alternative format for putting math on the web that you like that supports this?

No, you are doing exactly what you are claiming was done, explaining away one thing (which still btw doesn’t work, Blair and brown are both labour too), and saying the others don’t matter because you’ve proved one wrong.

Yet somehow it’s always Corbyn labour that gets “misquoted”. Why is that? The Labour Party has plenty of motivation to smear the conservatives over antisemitism, yet somehow they don’t have the material for it. Why is that?

But whatever, I won’t convince you anyway, you refuse to look at the evidence. The mural one is the best example but you claim it’s a smear too. Yet somehow again it’s corbyn who got messed up in it.

But fine, I understand why the left is antisemitic, just like the Soviet Union was, it would just be nice if you were honest about it. If you blame identity groups for the worlds problems it’s hard to not blame Jews, and it must really frustrating seeing a successful nationalistic nation be successful against all odds.

* Our government are basically technic-illiterate. And proud of that in many cases.

They really should use the word "entrust" rather than "trust". It would be more accurate. But the trasnsfer of information from "members" to LinkedIn still does not provide an explanation for LinkedIn's efforts to stop HiQ from accessing it. This case points to the problem with mediating access to public information (e.g., user generated content) as a business. The further LinkedIn chooses to go with legal proceedings, the more they risk the courts upending this "business model" by exposing its inherent flaws.

I tried finding a decent text editor for android a little while ago and was not successful. FOSS git on iPad doesn't exist. SSH on either is very limited to say the least. An effective terminal is a pipe dream. Crapple and Scroogle have successfully turned the smartphone into a revenue generating device for themselves, and it's also a device our lives basically revolve around. I'd love to run a GNU/Linux (as opposed to Android/Linux) on my mobile device. The only thing I'd have to gripe about is a hardware keyboard.
You're correct, there might be a text-mode fallback. It's just that it is effectively useless for me. If I don't have network access, how am I going to install the firmware for the network card?

That's why I believe the most common firmware .deb packages should be cached during installation so that they are on-disk in case they are needed.

There's nothing to be gained by wringing our hands and kicking up a public fuss, crying to the press about it. That's not how grownups do business. We all know everyone spies on everyone else, it's a given. I'm sure GCHQ spies on Israel and UAE.

For all we know the security services already knew about this and were feeding false info to manipulate the UAE. Heck, the Israelis might have even tipped us off, I'm sure they value their relationship to us much more than with the UAE. I'd give it at least 50/50 Munk School trying to 'help' us just trashed a perfectly good MI6 counterintelligence op. That's the sort of way these things work.

an independent Scotland would prioritise the speediest possible safe removal of nuclear weapons

This is disingenuous without giving the context of that quote. The UK's nuclear submarines are stored in Scotland, near Edinburgh (the Forth estuary). The Scottish people don't want those nukes there, both because of the inherent danger these missiles pose, and because it paints a target on their head.

The SNP's position is that if the English want to keep their nukes, they should keep them in England. That's what "removal" refers to here, it is not about forcing the English to disarm.

I’m not so sure. Like, a web browser requires an excessive amount of CPU-power so that alone would necessitate a better CPU. I can only speak about the Pinephone, hopefully the pro is sufficient enough.

I can't speak for anyone else; but I feel the same way about any other country which is committing similar crimes against people just for being alive, as I do about Israel.

The natural state is that yes, you can share everything since, for things that are intended to be experienced by humans, there are no technical restrictions that do not succumb to the analog hole. So yes, not being able to consume everything for free is collateral damage from copyright and thus to justify copyright you need to demonstrate that their is more gained in return. This is why initial copyright terms were much shorter than they are now - because the deal has always been to encourage the production of more content that then becomes part of the commons, i.e. eventually can be consumed by everyone for free.

This stuff confused the hell out of me as a 6-yr old electronics hobbyist (read unskilled-tear-downer). Took apart a non-functioning lcd calculator. Everything looked normal, except the lcd display itself was just pressed onto a rubbery tape like thing which seemed to be stuck to a line of pads in the pcb.

I expected a flex cable connecting the lcd to the PCB but couldn't find one. I 'knew' rubber was an insulator, so no matter what that rubbery thing was (I guessed it was simply a spacer) it wasn't the connection between the two.

Didn't learn about the existence of z-tape for another decade or so and immediately the light bulb in my brain flashed, solving a childhood mystery.

This isn't a 5-layer cake we're talking about here. A structure that can survive being caught between a payload on one end and a rocket motor on the other is going already have the strength you need in most of the places you need it in order to hang from a parachute. The hard part is going to be attachment point real-estate since the most logical choice is going to have it fighting for space with rocket motor bits.
My impression is that it matters because if the data hasn't been collected with a specific purpose in mind, then its probably not gonna be useful for a lot of cases.

Say I'm a farmer and for examples sake I want regular aerial images to estimate crop yield for a plot of land. That would require high resolution imaging of a particular patch everyday for maybe a few months. That would require purposeful data capturing at regular time intervals during overhead satellite passes.

From what i understand satellite imaging companies won't happen to just have those images containing the region of interest you want just lying around on their hard-drives which they can pull out with some query. If they make all the images they have available to the public, I'm guessing most of it will be useless to people considering it needs to cover the desired region of interest across time and space.

> I'd say that's simply not true, at least for my "enthusiast" circles. 40% whiskies are becoming increasingly rare in those groups.

Go into pretty much any supermarket (certainly in the UK) and 40% ABV is universal strength. But you're right, in enthusiast groups 46% ABV is the norm, however you're in a minority of whisky drinkers.

The bulk of Scotch whisky production, both single malt and blended, is aimed at filling supermarket shelves because that's where the highest volumes of sales and profit come from. These products are not aimed at enthusiasts.

I'd recommend this fella if you fancy listening to a decent rant or two about the state of the Scotch whisky industry:

The main difference between Israel and worse global players is the wide range of westerners (including self described "liberal" ones) who tolerate or are willing to step up to endorse its vicious racism, its ethnic cleansing and its illegal settlement expansion both with trumped up accusations of antisemitism and whataboutism.

That naturally elicits a bit of a reaction.

By contrast I dont remember anybody calling anybody an Islamophobe because they condemned Mohammed bin Salman's killing of Khashoggi or invasion of Yemen.

There's also an element of what is done in Israel being done in our name, since it was essentially a remnant of European colonialism (a particularly shameful part of our history) and continues thanks to support from our governments.

On the mural. Yes I agree that is the clearest example. The mural is clearly antisemetic. Corbyn claims he wasn't paying attention and made the comment about censorship without opening the image.
He has since agreed the mural was antisemetic and that he made a mistake.

That's basically the only scandal that has stood up though, that he said he wasn't paying attention when surfing on Facebook 10 years ago, and people who believe the other scandals insist he was paying attention and was deliberately endorsing a piece of antisemetic art.

And on the 'left' blaming Jews for everything. You are wrong obviously. but also worth noting many of the heros of the left : Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, Rosa Luxemburg, Jesus Christ. Are Jews.
