> Banks that have too much cash on hand go out of business. If a bank ends up being near this it just reduces its loan rates and loans the money out for slightly less, but still better than sitting on cash.

Right.. The bank can increase its level of leverage principally by:

* Decreasing loan interest rates to encourage people to take loans

* and/or decreasing savings interest rates to discourage people from keeping deposits.

Of course, real banks do both based on market conditions and capital requirements. And, of course, there's not an implausibly thin level of reserves like you imply to pedantically harass the prior commenter: you must have at least the required reserves, and certainly having way too much cash is toxic to profitability.
I think the real issue isn't making it work for IoT, it's making their devs spend less time on making desktop things work, so they can devote more time to IoT things.

>>The innovations that help people live longer aren't private property, they're medical science and city planning.

Private property is what generated the massive gains in productivity that allow society to allocate resources to employing specialists like doctors, researchers and water sanitation engineers.

Even over the last 50 years, it's abundantly evident that private property rights facilitated the unprecedented gains in wages and quality of life seen globally;

Why ask here instead of on a chess forum? HN has collective wisdom about many things, but the stuff you are asking is well-trod ground among chess organizers. So you should go where they are. r/chess on reddit is probably a good place to start. The USCF forums might be another. The latter are held in some disrepute in certain circles, but that is mostly due to chess politics rather than tournament running probs per se.
Sure easily, as long as the ship stays within 1km of an active transmitter at all times and each transmitter has a power station on it to provide enough juice to push through the losses or is connected to a grid.

I don't think calling a parent 'mother' is something children do by themselves. They call them however they end up calling them, or whatever their parents teach them. Also certainly not 'mother', rather 'mum', 'mom'... and the Turkish children say anne.

I worked at Adobe in the early days; my first job was embedding PostScript into various manufacturer's printers.

I love the PostScript language and still play with the PostScript interpreter every now and then. Often if I need to plot something, it's fun to try to write the code in raw PostScript.

It's a shame "nobody" cares about printing anymore. In the late 80s as soon as I was able to afford a 300 dpi laser printer, I ran down to the store and plunked down $2500 or so for an HP LaserWriter. I used it with TeX (this was before Adobe) and thought I was witnessing a revolution! A real, powerful, printing press in my home! I'm old enough to have leaned how to set letterpress type in high school shop class....

> I assumes that more research can make or more usable in the consumer market?

No. The energy output is constrained by the decay rate of C14. Increasing the amount in use would help somewhat, but it's still many orders of magnitude away from being useful.

(The description of a few microwatts as being "less than a typical AA battery" is a massive understatement. Even a cheap AA-sized carbon cell can deliver a milliwatt -- a thousand microwatts! -- continuously for a few months.)
I had a similar issue. This is my tl;dr understanding now.

The thing to realize is that the view from outside shows the object falling in and getting dimmer and dimmer and more and more red shifted. You never actually see the object disappear.

From the viewpoint sitting on the object, you fall right through the event horizon and get turned into mush, pretty quickly.

So, black holes can be created as the matter can clearly fall past the event horizon and add to the black hole mass.
The US has federal law that apply to all the states. The EU has binding resolutions (the general rules you mentioned), and then each nation passes its own implementation. It's similar to the US federal RealID act which set standards for licenses that the states could implement however they wanted.

Tesla is shipping 1.2m cars / year and just finished two ginormous state of the art factories in Giga Berlin and Austin, that will end up doubling that. There is so much demand for these autos, outside of Bel Air, that it currently takes 8 months for a Model Y order today to arrive, even though the current factories are producing full capacity. Why are you so hung up about credits from last year?
FWIW that underhanded description of Apple users as idiots who value looks and brand names and can't be trusted with a real computer is... annoyingly old.
Most breakers do not trip instantly. They are designed to protect the wiring insulation from melting. Because the wires have thermal mass, a brief pulse above rated power is fine. Your 15A A/C may pull 30A or even 45A for 100ms while starting, and that's okay because the wiring won't overheat that quickly. It does drag down the voltage on the wiring though, which is why some lights may flicker when it starts.

"The ones I hypothesize are actually subject to a delusion of being transgender don't act like that. Their personality shifts radically after transitioning and they behave like an exaggerated caricature of their target gender and have a very difficult time navigating small group dynamics of their target gender."

Generally speaking, I doubt your trans friends (if you have any) would enjoy being hypothesized about in this way. The same is true for any marginalized group.

Secondly, you seem to have decided what appropriate and inappropriate gender performance is all on your own, and then drawn a bright line between 'real' and 'fake' around it.

You are probably not aware that, historically, for many trans women, if they didn't present as 'female enough' (as perceived by their doctor) they'd lose access to medical care. This is still true today in the UK and US to a lesser degree.

So for example, if you were their doctor, your patients would talk about you behind your back and zero-in on exactly what lie they'd have to tell to get their treatments.

Suddenly, you'd have ample evidence that 'fake' trans women don't show up in your office, reinforcing your beliefs.

There is no one 'right' way to be a man or a woman, same is true for trans men or women.
You can install Nix on Ubuntu just fine.
This description reminds me a lot of the fluid vs crystallized intelligence. The way that’s always been described to me is that younger people always have a faster brain but as we age, we can make up for our slowness in having a lot of experience to draw on.
I worked on a blockchain that used formal methods as part of the development workflow. The development process was essentially writing a paper that formalised an algorithm or a protocol, an implementation in Agda that would generate Haskell (or written straight in Haskell), property based tests against the paper, and then a whole business analysis/QA side where there'd be a requirements matrix against the paper with unit/integration/end-to-end tests on the features too. So you'd end up with formally checked code, property based tests, unit tests, integration tests, end to end tests, manual checks, and a few other tools too. This was a pretty slow process but on the two major product releases I worked on, I can only remember one bug slipping through and that was patched before people realised (and not a major issue either). So I think this style of development can work if you can 1) afford it, 2) afford the time to do it, and 3) formulate the requirements in such detail upfront.

Here's an example of a formal method paper that explains how a specific protocol works: https://hydra.iohk.io/build/13099985/download/1/blockchain-s...

This is a fun example of doing something similar with Coq to build a porn browser: http://www.michaelburge.us/2017/08/25/writing-a-formally-ver...

And there are a couple companies out there that do this style of development as a consultancy - it's probably the closest to 'engineering' that software development can get (in my eyes) https://galois.com
As I said in another comment above, I credit keto for the weight loss, but understand that CICO is mechanics behind the loss. Keto did two things for me that allowed calorie restriction. One, fat rich foods create satiety with smaller portions, which allowed me to eat less. Two, stabilizing blood glucose eliminated hunger for me which allowed me to eliminate snacking between meals.

Carb restrictions allowed my body to manage the blood glucose with just my own body’s production of insulin, which eliminated extraneous insulin. Stable low blood glucose prevents small vessel damage which prevents most of the issues that are caused by type 2 diabetes
GPUs without graphics support are already a thing. But so far, NVIDIA is staying on the GPU term.

For the H100, very minimalistic FF support was picked.

Only two TPCs in both the SXM5 and PCIe H100 GPUs are graphics-capable (that is, they can run vertex, geometry, and pixel shaders). And that’s out of:

8 GPCs, 66 TPCs, 2 SMs/TPC, 132 SMs per GPU

for an H100 SXM5.

Aka just for compatibility.

For complete details on how the Apollo ground stations stayed synchronized, see "Apollo Precision Frequency Source and Time Standard" [1]. Stations stayed synchronized to one part in 10^10. Each had two rubidium frequency standards and two crystal frequency standards. Each frequency standard had its own power supply and battery pack for redundancy. The sites were synchronized to the WWV time radio station and VLF signals.

The specification for Apollo was to maintain the frequency within 5x10^-11 for a one year period. The VLF system had 1 microsecond resolution. Jitter in the WWV pulse was +/- 0.5 milliseconds. They calculated and measured the propagation time from the transmitting station so they could account for that, within about 1 millisecond.

It's amazing how much redundancy and complexity there was for everything in Apollo. Even something like ground station time synchronization that nobody thinks about (except for supernova87a), had teams of people, a bunch of research, and racks of equipment.

I love how competition in the labour market, which is great for workers and forcing the market to allocate the pilots to the most efficient routes, is called “beggar-thy-neighbor strategy”.
The only obvious remedies would seem to be high density urban life and living online. Neither remotely close to a solution but they do help.

I don't think installing software through snaps or deb packages makes a difference in terms of geek street cred. It's a linux system, you can still do with it whatever you want, they're not locking your machine down. The idea that something can't be for a mass audience and nerds is strange.
The counterpoint here could be, "You've stagnated my wages, gutted my retirement plan, and reduced my benefits. I refuse to budge one inch more."
For the last 20 years the the only things which made the difference between the Windows Server and Windows not-server were the things which weren't available on the client SKUs at all (like Active Directery and so on).

>>You choose every day when you work, to work under a fascist authoritarian regime. You choose that

If you're choosing it, it's not a fascist authoritarian regime.

And yes, people need resources to live, and unless they've already accumulated great wealth, that means they have to either work (via the free market), or steal (via fascism/socialism).

As Frédéric Bastiat wrote 170 years ago, the need to acquire resources is the nature of reality, not a circumstance that exists only because some authoritarian force imposes it.

"Man recoils from trouble, from suffering; and yet he is condemned by nature to the suffering of privation, if he does not take the trouble to work. He has to choose, then, between these two evils. What means can he adopt to avoid both? There remains now, and there will remain, only one way, which is, to enjoy the labor of others. Such a course of conduct prevents the trouble and the satisfaction from preserving their natural proportion, and causes all the trouble to become the lot of one set of persons, and all the satisfaction that of another. This is the origin of slavery and of plunder, whatever its form may be - whether that of wars, imposition, violence, restrictions, frauds, etc. - monstrous abuses, but consistent with the thought which has given them birth. Oppressors should be detested and resisted - they can hardly be called absurd."

Russia does not earn all of its money in Europe, but it does most of its profit. There is a reason it engages in these multi-decade influence campaigns in Europe: the Chinese don't overpay nearly as readily because they can't.
This sounds untenable considering Mozilla's main revenue source is Google itself.

Exactly. It's rich for the EU to regulate dark patterns when their own laws is the reason they're so rampant on the web today. I guess it's good that they're finally waking up to this, but they're so far behind what's going on in adtech that their actions seem almost intentionally slow.

The solutions to this aren't regulatory, but technical first. Monetary fines to tech giants are mere slaps on the wrist. We, and by that I mean the web developer community, need to make technical solutions that make it impossible for companies to infringe users' rights. I guess we should first start by defining what those should be on the web. Those solutions then need to be presented to lawmakers and companies forced to adopt them. This is not rocket science; there are already solutions to these problems that just aren't adopted (e.g. the {ab,un}used Do Not Track header).

All this "behave this way or else" regulation is just reactive, and usually takes years to even pass into law, by which point tech giants are way ahead of it anyway.
My how the goalposts have moved. Millionaires are the new proletariat. Socialism needs to borrow almost all of capitalism from capitalism. Fairly soon socialists will be advocating for (partial) investor ownership of the means of production because once you accept price mechanisms in labour markets you have almost no good alternatives for new business formation.

We live in a society with money is inherently connected to the freedoms you have, and companies want to draw you in so that you have to use their product. Basically every job that doesn’t require a bachelor’s degree nowadays requires you to have a cellphone to communicate with them. So if you don’t have a cellphone (so realistically being under the control of Apple or Google) and you don’t have the qualifications to get a college degree, you can’t get a job.
Every community is different. Having lived in both communities that could be classified as rural and metro, I will say that they can be different and the same at the same time.
So when does a communication protocol achieve something?
There's an equation for that. The effective range of a Gaussian beam is roughly equal to (beam width)^2 / wavelength. I'm not sure what wavelength or beam width they used here, though.

The code generated is most definitely related to the names/descriptions! To do this, I have to first generate the description then generate the code _from the descriptions_.

It seems like Carbon-14 is just not very radioactive, and if I read the Wikipedia article right, Geiger counters can't even detect the radiation for small amounts, which makes me wonder if they would even trigger around the 1 gram in those batteries.

Looking at a bit more sources, Carbon-14 radiation has a maximum distance of 22 cm in air and 0.27 mm in body tissue. The half-distance layer in water is 0.05 mm. In addition, Carbon-14 in nuclear waste tend to also include tritium, which is even weaker.

If we wanted powerful batteries, low-level waste seems like a bad choice. If the material don't even need shielding to be around, it is unlikely to carry a lot of energy. Intermediate-level waste and high-level waste would likely be better suited, especially Intermediate-level waste since those do carry a lot of energy but does not require cooling.
> As a Russian, I confirm racism is rampant in the country. I don't know if it is even waning anymore...

Yeah, I had my doubts too. The Wikipedia article claims that racist attacks have been on the decline, and supports that claim with some statistics from the SOVA Center. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if that were simply because those attacks have become so commonplace that they aren't reported at all, or that reports are being actively suppressed.
Now ask how much it costs shovelware authors to republish their apps, and they probably do it all the time because the quality sucks..

> At least when it's packaged by the distribution someone has reviewed the changes and can flag up and disable any nonsense that mozilla is adding.

Unfortunately, Mozilla has enough power that AFAIK they've pretty much run roughshod over the distributions. Pretty much the only software I know of that can do that. It's mostly through enforcing their trademark.

If you know of a mainstream Linux distribution where the maintainers actually care enough to patch Firefox to remove all advertisements (including Pocket), sponsorships, and other by-default telemetry, I would love to hear about it and would consider switching to such a distribution for that reason alone. (Not because I'm incapable of patching Firefox myself or using LibreWolf, but because this shows that the maintainers care and have the correct priorities.)
I always do this. I download the tar, extract it, put it on /opt/firefox and then create whatever shortcut I need.

Been doing this for years. That way I don't have to wait until the repo or ppa's are updated.

Do I understand correctly that your car determined your smartphone choice? Furthermore you considered changing your vehicle selection based on your current smartphone?

I find the concept of a smartphone affecting a transportation decision or the reverse to be highly unusual.

Lol, the regulatory credit thing again. Here are the Q1 numbers [0]:

- Total revenue: $18,756M

- Gross profit: $5,460M

- Total regulatory credits: $679M

So to answer your question, about 4% of their revenue is credits. It’s been tiny compared to automotive revenue for at least a year. So we can stop perpetuating that little myth.
