I hesitate to post, but I respect Debian. Firmware has gotten so large, all distributions and OS communities would benefit from focusing on it as a project to provide free firmware. I don't know how large the firmware developer community is. Firmware space has gotten so large, an entire OS could fit in there. What if there were a miniDebian, or miniFreeBSD, that was a virtuous but smaller reflection of the OS, not unlike iOS and macOS? I'm not sure if crypto or key signing by hw makers, under the excuse of security, makes this impossible, but I'd really like to have more options with the firmware on my machines. Like, why can't I run VMWare ESXi from firmware? It should fit in there. If if is technically possible, it should be allowed; we pay for the hardware, it belongs to us. Why is this even a thing? Who are the bad guys here? Why are they screwing with us?
As a sender, you don't know when #4 happens. Regular people don't check their spam folders. Regular people don't go out of their way to give the sender a head's up that it was classified as spam.

I know it happens to me, because I have to verbally follow-up sometimes.

The only way you would know if #4 doesn't happen to you, is if you're doing something wrong, like trying to track when people open the email.
This seems like such a weak argument. Life is full of shared cultural experiences that people don't have free access to. We talk about restaurant meals, about attending concerts, about attending sporting events (or watching them on PPV), about seeing plays, about fashion. These things all have equal or better claim to cultural importance than an MCU movie, but we all understand them to to cost money --- for some of them, like the theater, it would be deeply problematic if they didn't cost money: that's how people survive while continuing to produce the culture.

To me, the farce is laid perfectly bare by the fact that people pirate fonts. Fonts. Different fashions for the shapes of letters. Nobody can reasonably claim a right to Mrs. Eaves or Chaparral, or any kind of cultural deprivation for not being able to typeset their zines in Nueva or Myriad, but they're pirated just like everything else. They're so relentlessly pirated that it took well over a decade to get most "commercial" fonts on the web at all, and even today, using them is a mess, because we can't trust people not to pilfer them while writing comments about how they're striking a blow for open culture.

The reality --- and I think we all understand this in our viscera --- is that things get pirated when they're easy to pirate. People do it because they can, and then rationalize it back to "ethics" so they don't have to confront the fact that in some small way (often, very small, but not always), they're inflicting harm on other people. At the very least, they're inflicting harm against the concept of ethics.

Do it if you want! I can't judge! I once wanted to watch The Muppet Movie ahead of its release, so I torrented it. I felt bad and bought the pre-release on iTunes at the same time. Something snagged in Apple's backend, and for the next 8 years or so iTunes haunted me continuously to redeem the pre-release, but errored when I tried to so as to make the popup disappeared. I deserved it, and (a little) more.

It's interesting to see that out.js isn't minified.
I'd say the number of games like that is not few. 10k in equipment in most sports will give you an advantage over 1k in equipment.

It's more accurate to say that the entry cost into the Vintage format is 10k (or whatever the cost of the deck you want to play). You can't just throw money at the deck and increase its winrate unless your deck starts out suboptimal.
An "interest" seems to me like it has a bit of a connotation beyond a "preference".

It suggests some substantial motivation that I'm not sure ESG policies rise to the level of.

Individuals working for Vanguard have some motivation to talk about ESG and go through the motions.

But at the end of the day, if they buy all the stocks, and if their customers understand that they buy all the stocks, then how can ESG considerations make a meaningful difference in the overall job? It seems way too constrained.

Yeah, you point out where fediverse differs from Twitter, FB and Instagram. There's no algorithm that starts pushing you in some direction based on your first interactions. Initially your personal timeline will be completely empty.

You might start by choosing an instance that is more on-topic than others, like https://hackers.town and discover people from the server timeline, or browsing the website. Then filter on various hashtags and see who interacts with them.

Having some good people you follow you also see whose posts they boost and this will lead you to find more.
A lot of it probably comes down to politics and the terrible history of labeling groups of people as less than human. What is and is not a subspecies is already fairly vague and not necessarily of particularly high value (so you've labeled two individuals as different subspecies instead of the same species, so what?)

The precautionary principle. Imagine that you are an alien and you don’t destroy every fledgling spacefaring civilization that you detect.

Best case: you save some marginal resources.

Worst case: that civilization “grows up” and develops the means to destroy you.
You didn't contradict anything that I said.

I said that companies are already forced to do certain things, but few people would say that this is some huge infringement on free speech.

Ex:telephone companies are forced to carry certain calls, but most people would not say that there is a huge free speech infringement here.

Therefore, these existing laws could be expanded to other things like social media.

So, in other words, this statement is wrong "This would be a violation of freedom of association".

> The north-eastern coast of the UK experienced waves between 3–6 m, much like the eastern coast of Scotland ... Wave heights are predicted to be around 1 m on the UK coast and up to 5 m on the northern coast of Doggerland. The maximum elevation of Doggerland here is less than 10 m, with large areas of less than 5 m. It is therefore possible that much of Doggerland would have been flooded by such a wave.

In reading now about the factors involved in this work, one issue is the amount of post-glacial rebound. While I've found that Scotland has rebounded a lot, I can't figure out how much that has been since 8,000 years ago. If I read figure 1 of http://people.rses.anu.edu.au/lambeck_k/pdf/152.pdf correctly, the Bridge of Earn, Firth of Fourth was 4 meters lower, relative to sea level rise back then.

I also know that geography can cause tsunamis to have local effects which are much stronger than average, as when a narrowing bay channels the wave upward. But I have no clue how that relates to the deposits seen in Scotland.

Edit: and figure 3 seems to say Dogger Bank was 6 meters higher (relative to sea level) than now, again, due to post-glacial rebound effects.

Huh? Who ever blamed Linux DEs for looking inconsistent, except the dedicated Linux users?

Consistency is not that big of a deal. It is usually poor hardware support, installation/update issues, and lack of software where Linux falls flat on its face.

I agree with 100% of what you said, but if we didn't have access to the genes and were merely going by fragments of a few fossils - what then? Can one quantify the magnitude of difference between H. nalendi and H. erectus fossils, and compare it to the magnitude of difference between hypothetical Polynesian and Pygmy fossils?

We bought our first home last year at a 3% interest rate. The price is up 45% one year later. If we had to buy that same house today with todays interest rate our mortage payment would be double. This is deeply unfair to people who don’t own homes.

(Comfortably) Owning a home is a key part of the American dream. We need an Elon Musk for housing. So many of societies problems can be traced to high housing cost.
Your comment made me curious about the actual extent of this.

> However, the absence of Neanderthal-derived patrilineal Y-chromosome and matrilineal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in modern humans, along with the underrepresentation of Neanderthal X chromosome DNA, could imply reduced fertility or frequent sterility of some hybrid crosses, representing a partial biological reproductive barrier between the groups, and therefore species distinction.

> The genomes of all non-sub-Saharan populations contain Neanderthal DNA. Various estimates exist for the proportion, such as 1–4% or 3.4–7.9% in modern Eurasians, or 1.8–2.4% in modern Europeans and 2.3–2.6% in modern East Asians.

Oh great! More indirection. Now when I want to deploy my web app I can check my private nixery.dev deployment is properly configured in Nix to build my Docker images so I can deploy my containers to the cloud so someone can access me Rest API. And the cost of guaranteeing builds will probably work? Running your own nixery service, learning Nix, and learning Docker. I would love someone to do a cost-benefit analysis of these sorts of tools against the time of using (and sometimes debugging) Make and/or Bash. I’m so cynical of Nix lol - no disrespect to the OP/Author, I just want to work on problems but most of my time is spent on building and deploying stuff.

It's more like if mineral placement was randomized at the start of a game, with players having uneven access.

What you are describing with the build order exists also. Many Magic decks have a single game plan ("rush", etc) and can only minimally adapt between games in a match (by swapping cards with a 15-card sideboard). The degree to how uneven a matchup is can vary a lot, and some decks are hybridized so it doesn't just devolve in to rock/paper/scissors

Site's down atm but he does mention towards the end 28+ missiles would've been necessary to start overwhelming the Moskva's defenses. I think it's unlikely they had that many in place to fire at it simultaneously. The launchers for it aren't exactly small and can only carry 4 each AFAIK.
Apple M1 supports optional x86-style memory event ordering, so that its x86 emulation could be made to work without penalty.

When SPARC got new microcode supporting unaligned access, it turned out to be a big performance win, as the alignment padding had made for a bigger cache footprint. That was an embarrassment for the whole RISC industry. Nobody today would field a chip that enforced alignment.

The alignment penalty might have been smaller back when clock rates were closer to memory latency, but caches were radically smaller then, too, so even more affected by inflated footprint.
I think you might be agreeing. They are saying that the M1 Mac Mini is far more powerful than these low end devices, hence "Apple doesn't make low end devices".
A warning, though: trying to switch from a mathematician's idea of Lie groups and algebras to a physicist's, or anyone else's, is not easy. I am a mathematician with a research specialty in Lie groups, and I remember being asked a question about this paper—I can't remember what it was, or I would be more specific—a while ago that was mathematically easy to answer, but where most of the time it took me to answer was spent in decoding the notation.

This treatment is closer to the mathematician's than to the physicist's, but it still has some of the physics flavor about it—for example, it at least implicitly discusses Lie groups as if they come with a preferred action, which they need not—and, if you're not in this domain already, it's good to know what difficulties you can face later if you try to move between domains.

BYD is about to release its ~ $45k AUD car in Australia. 1500 units sold out almost immediately. MG, which is another Chinese manufacturer these days is expected to price-match. Hyundai (the Ioniq) may price match. The BYD has really good range for price (400km NEDC)

https://www.drive.com.au/news/byd-dolphin-electric-city-car-...

If the federal and/or state governments go with some price support, and unit costs to a customer on-road get to $30k, I would think seriously about trading in my Hyundai i30 with 5 years left on its 7 year fixed price maintenance/warranty. I got a powerpoint fitted in the unit "just in case" although with low amps, it would be trickle charge only. The "dolphin" BYD is releasing is comparable size inside to my i30.

Tesla isn't responding to price competition, they see enough demand at their AUD $70k+ pricepoint. They're targetting a different market, one which Volvo, Mercedes, BMW &c occupy with high-end ICE cars (although I am told the build quality on a Tesla is below par, even if the driving experience is good)
I think the sense of the question was that as the most distant modern human branch, they're useful to compare relatively to potential new discoveries.

Not disagreeing that policies should be made with success in mind. But by the same reasoning "vegan" should include the top 5 most popular meat dishes as exceptions. This would easily make it more popular, more accessible and probably much more successful at reducing meat usage over all. The issue is that the definition of "success" might be entirely unacceptable. Just like "entirely free but...." might be unacceptable.

I can't stand Mac OS infantile looks and intentionally slow UI just so it would look smooth.

Where do you find laptops with creaking plastic or weird textures like that? I get that there are more options to choose from in non-mac world but that doesn't mean you have to choose bad options. I go with Lenovo and never had any problems you are talking about. Macs, on the other hand, they have buggy UI and are extremely annoying if you want to use them in any other way than the "Mac way". Over the years they also had their share of hardware faults.

Feels good to vent. :)

You can only force anyone to do anything if you have power. If you don't have power you're just a weird guy screaming from a soapbox and people are going to ignore you. No offense but do you think nvidia cares about your boycott? There's no shortage of graphics card buyers.
